Trump Losing The Battle Of Public Opinion On Coronavirus: Poll | Morning Joe | MSNBC

  1. Slightly off topic but Am I the only one who knows these anti lockdown protest aren’t gonna age well?

    1. Trump had a hand in those protests (rent a crowd). Why would a President say that they are just showing their emotions. A true President would be trying to bring citizens together not add fuel to the fire.

    2. @I’m a Survivor Maybe she should have decided to prevent getting pregnant in the first place, how selfish and disgusting, you think killing a baby is justified because a woman should be able to decide because it’s her body. Adoption is an answer, lots of people want children they can’t have. Abortion is murder period.

  2. I stopped believing in polls in 2016 when most of them gave Clinton a 99% chance of winning the election

    1. Bill Clinton had corrupt Republicans steaming at the ears, they dont care about economic surplus, and every conservative Republican in office drove the national debt through the roof, heres stone cold facts:

      More than 18.6 million new jobs were created, more than any other president.

      Unemployment dropped from 7.5% to 4%.

      Home ownership was 67.7%, the highest rate ever recorded.

      The budget deficit dropped from $290 billion to a budget surplus of $128 billion.

      The poverty rate dropped to 11.8%.

      Key Takeaways

      President Clinton served from 1993 to 2001.

      During his presidency, Clinton created a total budget surplus of $63 billion. After his term, succeeding presidents would report large budget deficits.

       Clinton created 10 years of U.S. economic growth by raising taxes on top income earners, reforming the welfare program, and signing NAFTA.

      Clinton is also credited for being the president that created the most jobs, adding 18.6 million job opportunities to the market.

    2. @Dave Sunhammer BAH ,HAHAHAHAHAHA! Bush opened all ILLEGAL immigration doors to attain and secure a win against Kerry and Gore ! DEMOCRATS have NEVER benefited from ILLEGAL immigrants!! DEMOCRAT businesses hire AMERICAN PEOPLE ! RETHUGLICONS open doors for FREE LABOR AT ALL COSTS ! Try again , you beleaguered bugger eating moron ! BLUE TSUNAMI COMIN TROLL! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🏊‍♂️🌊🇺🇸🖕

  3. When the government fears the people, you got liberty, when the people fear the government you have a tyranny
    “Thomas Jefferson”

    1. @Jim Battersbee we aren’t talking about the hypocrisy of someone who owned slaves when slavery was commonplace everywhere in that time. We are talking about the truth of that statement. It’s no secret that The left want gun control, an overbearing govt too. Just like: The Nazis. They used to say “für ihre sicherheit” to people before the holocaust happened. It’s “For your safety” translated….

    2. @v blackwell except you don’t who’s who or what’s what. I do, you are getting played, duped, shat on and you don’t even know it. Who’s VB? You mean pedo- loving, sniffing women dementia-ridden Biden? Lol

    3. @Ryknfjor
      Nazi’s said a lot of things, America had a large pro Nazi population. The USA sat out the first two years of WW2 as Nazis conquered most of Europe and only got involved when their hand was forced by Japan.
      Hypocrisy is a common trait among Americans, they wave their guns and chant as though that makes them “free”, it doesn’t, they talk about “equality” in a country with the worst *in*equality in the developed world.. They talk about “life and liberty” but life expectancy in the US is ranked only 46th in the world and the prison population is the highest in the developed world.
      You think you don’t have “tyranny??” hahahaha, failure to manage a pandemic you had two months warning of; that results in tens of thousands of avoidable deaths of your own people: that’s
      “tyranny”. Your guns are no use to you.
      Morons.

    4. @Jim Battersbee  Your first paragraph is irrelevant.  I’m linking what Nazis said compared to our govt. That point went right over your head.
      Second paragraph,  there’s nothing hypocritical about what I’m saying. I don’t have slaves.  So me saying the sentiment can’t be refuted.  If i have a gun,  know how to use it (i actually duo,  very well),  point it at you and tell you to do something,  you’ve become a slave.  Unless you’d rather die.  If you had a gun though:

      “Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch, liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote” also Benjamin Franklin.

      Yes, i believe tyranny IS happening in the USA,  just on a small scale,  they’re trying to ramp it up.
      Lol at the “pandemic” it’s no secret more people are dying from everything else except covid19, (the CDC itself reports more deaths from the regular flu since the beginning of this year)  but we shut down the world’s economy for it.

      Life expectancy in the U.S. can’t be addressed in one lump sum.  Too many cultures,  different regions etc.
      All my grandparents died in their 80’s. No one else i personally know has died.  And no one i personally know has covid19 either….

    1. @Mark Chapple Also, your fake news not reporting about the Facebook fact checker that once worked at the wuhan biolab. Big conflict of interest.

  4. Mika got a few words in!!!
    Joe looked upset, crossed his arms and looked at the ground but she was able to voice her opinion!
    WOW, I’ve never seen that before! 😉

    1. @Raider Girl You’re right it’s name after Joe and perhaps I’m mistaken but it starts at about 1:55 to about 2:12. He seems a little miffed.

    2. @Raider Girl So what! Doesn’t mean he get to talk over people. If that’s the case don’t have a co host or guests

  5. We all just need to find a common ground. We all need to start acting like a country. A union. Where Democrats don’t hate Republicans and vice versa. In a country with the most diverse people, we need to come together. I know this sounds cheesy, but it’s the truth. We need to put our differences behind us especially in times like these. There are so many other big things going on in the world all the time. We are the greatest country but we act like a dysfunctional family. We need to be the country that youth will want to continue when we are gone. Obviously we won’t always agree on things. So we need to respect those we might never see eye-to-eye with. I might be young. I might be naive. But we need to start acting like the great country we are. We were built off of different races, religions, and cultures. Rather than disagree because of our differences, we should celebrate and respect them. Politically, I’m in the middle. There are some things that I believe in on both sides. It also helps me to pick a candidate solely based off of my opinion and belief. Some people who say they are a certain party will just pick that candidate without really caring about what they say or do. There’s really no telling as to what is the best approach to this. I personally feel that if we open back up too fast, cases along with death might surge through the roof. But then there is Sweden that’s not taking any precaution. They say they are doing great. I hope anyone who lost their job will find a new one and I’m sure they will. My family consists of healthcare workers and educators. They still have their jobs so I can only imagine the fear and uncertainty many Americans are feeling right now! Stay safe everyone and I hope you guys are doing well.

    1. @IRISHgamerKAIN Kain’sGaming No one needs real therapy. This country needs JUSTICE ! VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO 🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸🌊

    2. @Caitlyn Martin Thus , any “doctor” should treat ANY patient!! Regardless of ANY REASON to the contrary! Punishment should be swift and indiscriminate for ANY violations!! A doctor isn’t entitled to any more rights than anyone else ! That is NOT what is going on now !

    3. D J I can’t take you seriously😭😂. You are too far gone! Brainwashed perhaps. Lol I don’t know if I’m reading propaganda or what.

    4. D J government is the problem with agendas for us all. There is a lot more than 1% corruption

  6. To paraphrase Dave Mustaine and Megadeth:
    The heads are talking to me, I don’t know what it means
    but the loudest voice is the one I heed…

    1. tranz2deep Hardcore Absolute Fact: I still do NOT see gloves 🧤 mask 😷 and hand 🖐 sanitizers being handed out anywhere in Columbus, Ohio while people are out and about!

    2. @Chris Houston Be interesting to see how some of the celebs that fell for the hype feel now. I’m serious!

    3. @tranz2deep The list is too long Jeff Foxworthy, Chuck Norris, James Woods, Tim Allen and so many others

    1. shix1979 You really can’t cope with the fact that people are seeing through Trump and his failures, can you?
      Had the Wall Street Journal is owned by a major conservative,
      They are the ones showing the pole that 52% of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is mishandling coronavirus.
      So you can do whatever you want with the New York Times, but other people are going to report on the horrific job he’s doing.

  7. This is my walk away moment from the Democrat Party. When I heard Nancy and the Democrats demanded 1.7 billion dollars to fund drag queen Story Hour for the public libraries before she would release any more stimulus money that was my defining moment to leave the Democrat Party.

    1. Hector, I’m calling BS on this. Where did you get this so-called news? Please could I see a link to the source?

    2. So precious. Talking heads talking! Blah blah blah. News – what the man in the back room says is the news! Political lies!

  8. A British doctor says: “In Britain, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man’s liver, put it in another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for a job.”
    The German doctor says: “That’s nothing,
    in Germany we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for a job.”
    The Russian doctor says: “Gentlemen, we took half a heart from a man, put it in another’s chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for a job.”

    The American doctor laughs: “You are all behind us. A few years ago, we took a man with no brain, no heart, and no liver and made him President.
    Now, the whole country is looking for a job!”

    1. ​@Liquid Snake Well I suppose you have had time to read and now you know the truth..! Bill Clinton DID NOT balance the budget, contrary to what the Liberal Left like to claim; it was Newt Gingrich and the GOP and Clinton had to go along with it because the GOP owned the Senate and the Congress. You profess to be the seeker of the facts and the Truth and when it hits you in the face, you no longer have anything to say…!
      GO AHEAD AND MAKE MY DAY…! FIRE SOME MORE OF YOUR BULLSHIP FACTS AT ME AND I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG AGAIN…! BETTER YET, GO CRAWL BACK IN YOUR HOLE OR FROM UNDER A ROCK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME…! MAGA 2020

    2. @Dan Nelson Clinton’s final four budgets were balanced budgets with surpluses, beginning with the 1997 budget. The ratio of debt held by the public to GDP, a primary measure of U.S. federal debt, fell from 47.8% in 1993 to 33.6% by 2000. You do realize 1995 was when words couldn’t define actions, Mr. Clinton proved sceptical Republicans wrong, successfully bringing the nation out of debt

    3. @Dan Nelson you realize 2002 was the year of Bush, wow you’re the adversary I dreamed of, a true movie style villain, dont go injecting lysol or taking unapproved hydroxichloroquine

    4. @Liquid Snake You still don’t get it DO YOU…? Clinton would have written RED INK, had it not been for the GOP…!

      In fall and winter of 1995 and 1996, Clinton was president and Republicans had control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Gingrich wanted deep budget cuts after Republicans took back the House in 1994 with their “Contract with America.”
      Gingrich felt he had a mandate to enact strictures on big government. His “contract” promised to make government spend less and laid out galvanizing principles for his followers in Congress that also laid the foundation for the Tea Party two decades later — and the modern Republican Party.
      President Clinton, a Southern Democrat, said he was committed to a balanced budget. But the two sides couldn’t agree on which long-term budget projections to use — the White House wanted to use data from its Office of Management and Budget, while Republicans wanted the Congressional Budget Office’s. The CBO had a less optimistic view of revenue that would be coming in, thus requiring deeper spending cuts.
      Clinton accused the GOP of having “failed to pass the straightforward legislation necessary to keep the government running without imposing sharp hikes in Medicare premiums and deep cuts in education and the environment.”

      THEN CAME THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IN 1995…!

      According to Gingrich, positive impacts of the government shutdown included the balanced-budget deal in 1997 and the first four consecutive balanced budgets since the 1920s. In addition, Gingrich stated that the first re-election of a Republican majority since 1928 was due in part to the Republican Party’s hard line on the budget.[21][22] The Republican Party had a net loss of eight seats in the House in the 1996 elections but retained a 227-206 seat majority in the upcoming 105th United States Congress. In the Senate, Republicans gained two seats.

      In 1998, Time’s Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy wrote: “If Clinton has always had a gift for turning weakness into opportunity, Gingrich has a gift for turning opportunity into rubble. Newt was the one who made unbalanced budgets a thing of the past, but it was Clinton who somehow got credit for it (emphasis added), rode to re-election (and) hauled his own party toward a more sensible center. … Voters might have retired Clinton in 1996 for moving too far to the left (emphasis added) had Gingrich not come along and yanked the whole enterprise too far to the right.”

      Although the budget deal restored many of the Republican’s proposed cuts in domestic spending, Clinton adopted a more centrist position for the remainder of his presidency.

      Clinton’s move to the right was exemplified in his State of the Union Address of January 27, 1996, in which he declared that ( “the era of big government is over.” )

      You really don’t know History do you…? Clinton didn’t do it himself,,,,He was FORCED to….!

    5. @Dan Nelson – you sure taught me something interesting, I cant deny the past, let’s agree to stand for each other, as life is something we should vow to protect, critical thinking can’t be emphasized enough

    1. @DLANOD PMURT SI RUOY TNEDISERP – you racist pos, I’ll send you Trumps prosecution video in November!

    2. @Liquid Snake Trumph , Pantz and McConnell in a 3 way daisy chain… denture holders nearby and poly grip!! 🎃💀👄
