and how it's bad news for Trump.

Also, some talk about bringing Obama's half-brother to the debate is ridiculous.

Last 15 minutes have been a little "both sides" as they talk about whoever wins, Washington needs to learn how to work together, and of course Joe talks about himself during his time in the House...

calling out trump for being a birther. trump didn't take it well.

Too damn bad.. trump was trying to humiliate President Obama by proclaiming he wasn't born in the US. Only Obama has thicker skin.. and did trump actually think the President wasn't going to retaliate on something so stupid it was begging to be roasted?

Joe seemed apoplectic that Mika said, "I think it could be a really bad night for Trump."

She brought up emails shortly after that, probably in an attempt to make him feel better...

E-mail MSNBC informing them that you will not watch MJ again and follow up, DO NOT WATCH IT again.

Watch CNN New Day with Chris Cuomo.

Use whatever voice you have to get others to join you.

to be a sweep, with her brining the Senate and possibly the House with her. Joe is in shock, I think. All that comes to mind for me is "eat that, Karl Rove." So much for his permanent majority.

He's one of the few Repubs out there who sees reality and calls it like it is. Refreshing.

He would be back in the fold as soon as it looked safe again.

Meanwhile he gets some credit with some people for saying he sees the obvious?

8 years ago he clearly stated that he respected McCain, but was aghast by Palin and would not vote for support the ticket.

He has absolutely no respect for Trump and has been clear about that all along this cycle.

He IS a republican and he certainly wants to see republicans win.

But, he is one of the VERY few conservatives not absolutely driven by confirmation bias (conservative good, liberal bad).
