    When I first started watching the show  Barack Obama was President. Joe Scarborough did indeed represent the Conservative view and often argued his point of contention with other guests.  He'd pretty heated at times. Since Trump became prez Joe has gotten more and more disgusted with the Republican Party which he does not recognize any longer. He is not the only one m2c. He and Trump were good friends in the long ago. He simply cannot justify all of  Trump's lies and scandals. You have no problem doing so because you refuse to acknowledge their existence and simply mimic Trump. Fake News. That's your answer to everything. Well  not everyone can do that. Not everyone is you. The change in Joe didn't happen overnight. Early on Trump guested ..usually by phone but sometimes in person. Things were cordial. You could tell they were friends. But over time the lies just got too much/the scandals too many. It is the job of  a journalist to seek the truth. That is very different from the "job" of a supporter who defends/supports the candidate no  matter what. Thank you for your reply.

    I have watched MJ since 2008 during the primary. I supported Mike Huckabee and they had him on more.than other channels. It is also when I learned to watch all the stations and learned their lies and their biases. (They all have them)
    I don't know how Right wing he was in office. But I know he is not a conservative now.
    Yes at first they loved having him on, he was good for ratings and they thought he had zero chance and was a joke. It did change as they realized he was winning.

    Once again you're dead wrong m2c. It changed as Doofus Donny continued to lie, make things up, accuse folks of things they had never done without having any backup, insult people, attack people, demean people, disgust people. Everyone but you and his supporters. Nothing he does or says disgusts you. Nothing. Joe changed as the number of scandals grew. But you see none of that because no  matter what Doofus Donny does you approve/accept/defend/support. No matter what. If he raped/tortured/murdered someone you would either deny it ever happened and call it fake news or say they deserved it. I cannot remember your ever once calling  Doosfus Donny out on anything. Your job is to defend no matter what and so you do. But you cannot tell me that something is true that  isn't.  You say Trump is your source of truth. Everyone else lies. Trump never lies. With that mindset you comfort yourself in the belief you are on the side of the angels. You are not.  I don't know how this will end but so far it is not going well. Thank you for your reply m2c and Happy Friday to thee.

    As far as being on the side of the angels, I would not go that far with any politician. But  I know the angels would not support the party of: abortion, anti-God, who believes government is the provider of all, anti-religous freedom.

    Yes. Your view which is embraced by all of you..you being all Trump supporters. We don't see it that way. Your way does not make it true or right. You think it does but it does not. That is how Trump can own all of you. You believe whatever he says is true and everyone else lies. Trump is still a joke m2c. A  buffoon with an evil intention and he has no soul or heart or emotion or compassion or empathy. You think Trump embodies your values. You don't realize you had to give up some of them to support him. You cannot see that your soul is being sliced away day by day by this poor excuse for a human being. With each defense of him you lose a little bit more credibility/honor/integrity. He owns you lock stock and barrel, body and soul. Thank you for your reply.
