I know it's cool here to bash Morning Joe, but today in its first block, the focus was on workers

in our economy, their own struggle to get food and other basic needs in this crisis.

If you can get the video from this segment you will see what I mean.

Please see what MSNBC's business guru, Stephanie Ruhle, was saying before going any further with the discussion of what MJ was saying today. It led with this focus.

Me, I put down my NYT and listened to what was being said.

Just sayin'.

Also, it doesn't work for him anymore. He has an audience and he knows pretty much what his feedback is telling him. Get real or get out.

he's had to come around as a matter of survival of his show. It's in his own best interests to move on, if only by a little.

Frankly, I don't care what he does. I do care about seeing guests to the show that I want to see and have things I want to hear.

Yes, MSNBC has many ex-Republicans. Focus on the “ex” part and not so much on the “Republicans” part. Infighting just leads to forgetting who the common enemy is.
