Scarborough strikes back

Excerpt: "In yet another aggressive move that will thrill Trump supporters, late Tuesday morning, Jesse Rodriguez, Senior Producer of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," announced a town hall event with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump that will take place Wednesday night at 8 p.m. The night will be hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. The MSNBC town hall will compete directly
with CNN’s long-schedule town hall with Trump’s two closest  competitors,

...On Joe Scarborough’s part, this might be a bit of revenge against CNN. Last week, the left-wing CNN launched a series of hit-pieces against Scarborough, all of which were poorly sourced and filled with nothingburgers-disguised-as-conflicts-of-interest. I’m not fan of Scarborough or CNN, but CNN’s reporting was a joke, especially when the fact that Scarborough is an opinionator and not a journalist was not taken into consideration."

Cool. We may have to break down and actually watch MSNBC. :-)

I don't think these polls mean much this early before the race comes down to a real decision and battle head to head between two people, but things are improving for the Repubs:

The idea that Americans are even close to electing someone like Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders over any of the Republicans is just a sad state of affairs with the intelligence and standards of our people. It should not even be close.

I watched for about two minutes and just could not take an hour listening to the same talking points. And MSNBC had the camera too tight on him; may have been deliberate. Made him look like a pouting baby.

(No disrespect intended for Trumpians, just my gut reaction.)

I switched to the Cruz, Carson, Rubio one, and it was informative as far as getting the feel of each man as they answered questions at length. All three came off pretty well.
