when she started ridiculing Trump. Joe said Schumer probably shouldn't bash Trump when people paid a lot of money to see her show....!!! GMAFB

Anyone who knows anything about Schumer knows how she feels about Trump. It's on them if they're 'offended' by her routine. She's a comedian – she's under no requirement to remain unbiased about anything.

Good for Amy for not wanting to support a misogynist, racist dickhead.

Saying how could anyone go to an Amy show not knowing she's a big liberal.
Lately, something has changed with the hosts going out of their way to defend things.
May be something to the rumors of them wanting to follow trump to his new network.

I think there must be something to the rumors, too. They gave me whiplash when they flipped their coverage on Trump so severely a few weeks ago. It couldn't have been more obvious that they talked to him and made some kind of deal. You'd think they wouldn't want to be so obvious about it.

She is pro-life and pro-gun who admitted to supporting Pat Buchanan in 1992. The whole liberal act is to give Joe credibility so he can say 'even a liberal agrees with me'.

and it was all I could stand...I figured Comcast demanded he follow their script and stay on it this morning...Poor Poor Donald is being treated so unfairly....Every one of those MJ regulars will vote for that Fascist and make no excuses for doing so...

In one breath Joe was talking about gridlock and how it had to change then blamed the Democrats for being so partisan...WTF

voters being alike because they are against elites. He did not want Steve to repeat what he said last night which is this race is OVER... At least that Vandehei guy was able to say that he did not think that the race was close at all until Joe shut him up...

The CNN daytime lineup is overall better than M$NBCs. If you want to see MJ (or Andrea Mitchell for that matter) go away - they need to lose viewers - lots and lots of viewers.

Every time I tuned in - every 2 hours or so, it was all "Trump can still win if he hits Hillary on the emails hard enough during the debate" etc etc. MSNBC has been desperate to make the emails a major story.
