FAKE NEWS: “Morning Joe has a mission: Take down the President. Watch the show—if you must—and you will get the idea rather quickly.” This would be more likely to succeed if anyone watched Morning Joe.

And given that Joe was actually excited about Evan McMullin, well. . . . I mean, was there ever any sadder and more ineffectual candidacy in national politics?

UPDATE: John Leo says I’m unfair to link this post, and emails: “Your item today alleging that Joe Scarborough is out to take Trump down is overblown. I watch the show every morning. He doesn’t like Bannon, but he gives Trump due credit for the deftness, speed and timing of the Syria strike, and he had Dick Durbin on this morning saying what a great set of generals Trump has behind him now, compared with (as Joe added) the assholes (not Joe’s word) the Democrats picked and featured in the ‘60s.”

I literally never watch Morning Joe, so my apologies if my post overstated his Trump hostility.
