LOL - Joe Scum says he's the only one saying that the Con will cut and run

[malaise]

before the election because he can't handle the licks that are coming

No Joe more than a few of us have been suggesting this for ages.

[Skittles]

1. maybe Trump thinks Putin can pull it off again

I doubt the FBI is on his side now

[dem4decades]

2. but Joe's taking to one person, giving him an idea.

[Cosmocat]

3. Hes not going to quit

he likes everyone having to kiss his ass and continue the ultimate grift, but more than that he needs the power to keep himself out of jail.

[Mike Nelson]

4. Well...

... this will only encourage Crooked Donald to stay in and fight... still, I think JoMika are against him, now. They were against Hillary last time, but have not treated Biden like they treated Hillary. I'm thinking President Biden, like President Hillary, would make news more ordinary and their ratings would go down... and the media wants a "horse-race" for ratings... so, maybe we'll see JoMika do 20 minute openings on Biden and Berisma... nah... maybe... nah...

[Solomon]

6. You know it's coming. Pisses me off now thinking about it. You just know they are going to do it.

[PJMcK]

8. Joe & Mika hate Trump intensely

They are not going to try to create a horse race. They want to see Trump lose on a grand scale. That will be good for their show's ratings over the next several months.

Television ratings are not a long-range methodology. They reflect very short terms. Like quarterly stock reports, ratings are snapshots of the moment.

After the election, TV executives will worry about their shows' ratings at the time. They aren't worried about January's number right now.

[louzke9]

12. Berisma is a.......

DEAD HORSE! So say all the past and present players in the Ukraine. The only 20 minutes would be spent on "nothing there, there"!

[duforsure]

5. Will he resign after conspiring with Pence,

To pardon him? Pence might do it , but it won't work after its shown they both were criminally corrupt and involved in many illegal acts . He'll remain until the end if he has no cover for him. I don't value Joe's opinion much , after he helped trump get elected from spreading propaganda almost daily for him.

[AZ8theist]

10. Exactly.

Morning Jerk Off is one of the main reasons we have the current shit show. I don't value his (Repuke) opinion at all.

[beachbumbob]

7. trump is unable to quit, in his world he will win

I like him to keep thinking that to the very end

[agingdem]

9. I agree

trump is a malignant narcissistic sociopath...the definition of the Dunning-Kruger Effect...he is both the victim and the hero.. the quintessential playground bully..a legend in his own delusional mind..the greatest thing since the invention of time...he'll never resign

[Mr. Ected]

11. If Trump quits -which to me is still less than 50/50 - it won't be framed as Trump quitting

They'll stage a heart attack or a stroke and tell America he's stepping aside for medical reasons.

They'll still get stomped at the polls in November, but the Trump experiment has truly run its course for the GOP.

This is what they get for letting the Tea Party take over their worthless party.

[bottomofthehill]

17. A staged heart attack cloaked in a Pardon

I agree with the the above, get out and let Pence give him a blanket pardon after he fives a blanket pardon to all others in his administration.

If he does it before the election there will not be a Republican left after the election, so my bet is after the election and screaming and yelling about election theft the will stand aside and collect his pardon.

[ancianita]

18. Good point. And might I add, it will be an "artificial problem" end to an artificial presidency

for the @real DT.

[Tetrachloride]

21. Agree: it would be a medical frame.

Trump would not be averse to a Democratic conspiracy theory regarding the medical stuff. yes, the logic would be astounding as usual.

[bobbieinok]

22. AND say terrible dems and media caused the attack, stroke!

He'll claim---

He's fallen in his service to his people, a martyr for them!

[KPN]

23. I agree -- medical "excuse". I'd much rather see him avoid the humiliation

and whatever comes after like Hitler did, or better, by COVID-19. In my greatest fantasy, many of his lemmings would follow him — either way.

[onetexan]

28. in this lalaland paranormal state we're living in i wouldn't put it past him & his ilk that he has a

plan B: pack their bags & make a run for Russia once the Idiot has lost the election. I don't doubt it's crossed their minds.

[ashredux]

13. Well....there is a valid argument for it....

[bullwinkle428]

14. LOL - John Fugelsang has been saying this since inauguration day!

[lapucelle]

15. In late 2015 / early 2016, I thought Joe was angling for the VP spot with Trump,

given they way he was shilling for Donald.

In 2016, Mika told a story about meeting Madeleine Albright and getting an earful from her about the the need for her and Joe to stop propping up Trump on the show. Claire McCaskill also tried to get them to stop the Hillary hate. By the time Joe and Mika decided to get off the Trump train, they had already done so much damage that it was too late,

Mean girl Mika had no problem with the misogyny leveled at Hillary. Mika comes from a very privileged permanent-DC-social set background. HRC made it clear that she wasn't going to court the Deep Set with luncheons and such when she arrived as first lady. She had work that she wanted to do. They never forgave her.

Mika reminds me of Wendy in Peter Pan. Joe and the Lost Boys engage in antics to impress her, and then she scolds and reins them in. The dynamics on the show are downright weird.

I want Joe and Mika to do what they continually harangued HRC to do: take responsibility and apologize. They can't disappear their role in helping to get Trump elected.

[ancianita]

20. +100

Great post! The funniest, best summary I've read about that show. You've saved me so much guilt about not watching it, that I owe you a big thank you.

[DownriverDem]

27. What about now?

Living in the past is a waste of time.

[lapucelle]

30. ...

[Blue_Adept]

16. I just finished watching the first hour

What he said wasn't that "he's the only one saying this" in the sense that it reads coming from you but rather more of "this is just my opinion, it's not something that I'm hearing from anyone else, nobody is whispering this on the grapevine" or anything.

[sarcasmo]

19. Cut, run and make a deal.

[DownriverDem]

24. We need all the help we can get.

Calling Joe, Scum just sounds so 2016. He's been attacking trump for the last 3 years. I'm for all who wants trump gone.

[JHB]

25. Joe: "Of the people I pay attention to, I'm the only one saying that."

Mika: ....

[Renew Deal]

26. How many people saying it have TV shows?

[HipChick]

29. I think I saw Malaise saying it

before Joe...
I did have a dream that I woke up and all the headlines were that Trump quit, but my mum told me to nuf fe let Duppy put foolishness in my head... so I've been keeping it to myself..

[malaise]

32. THIS

but my mum told me to nuf fe let Duppy put foolishness in my head...

Only a Caribbean person could write dat

Others have said it - some before me

[dalton99a]

31. Trump will not resign for health reasons.

The most perfect person is in excellent health and is never sick

[quickesst]

33. I would really like to meet....

....... the DUer who at the very least has dedicated 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 years to an audience of about a million people in tearing down and eviscerating drump, and I would guess has opened more than than their fair share of eyes to the dangerous corruption brought on by GONE-ald drump. Please, step forward so that I can congratulate you on doing at least if not more than Joe Scarborough has. Me? I think because of a short-lived bad judgment call, three years is way too long to harbor petty hatred for a former republican, now an Independent who has been an effective ally in drumps defeat.

[Tbear]

34. I have said the same for at least two years

Trump resigns, gets pardoned.
Fuck Joe scum. If a republican pol would even pretend to being an American first, Joe would switch back to repuke in a millisecond to support the new "savior".
