I heard something on Morning Joe that disturbed me

Did anyone watch this morning? I happened to turn it on and this is what I was hit with.

First MJ mentioned Steve Kornacki (who was presumably on earlier) and then said something to the effect, for those of you who are getting ready to pop the champagne, I'd recommend putting it on ice for now. Then he mentioned the polls in New Hampshire, giving the impression that drumpf was now doing well there.

I had just awakened and instinctively turned the channel as I'm accustomed to doing when I hear something objectionable.

The latest fivethirtyeight.com map for NH says:
HRC: 84.9
dumdum: 15

Anyway, if anyone could set me straight I'd appreciate it.

NH is four electoral votes-- seemed to me MJ was over-reacting.

He is a complete shithead, and has utterly lost all his integrity in service of MSNBC's narrativizing of this election. I wouldn't believe him if he told me the sky was blue and I was looking at it. He's lost all credibility.
