Will GOP In Congress Speak Out Against Trump Remarks? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. @Rick Moss I am less and less convinced of that. Leaving aside the fact that all bullies are insecure and seeking admiration from precisely those they denigrate, does it not become clearer and clearer that Donald Trump is desperate? To not face the same rest of his life as Bernie Madoff is? Or at least not spend the rest of his life fighting prosecutions? Perhaps he still refuses to release those tax returns because they might show that he doesn’t actually have the cash to pay a battalion of high-priced lawyers for years on end. Even Obama finally released his long-form birth certificate just to shut up the people, led by Trump, who were demanding to see it. At some point hanging on to a principle based on process becomes more dangerous in practical political terms, so there must be another reason besides sheer stubbornness for keeping those returns secret. Is Putin going to keep bankrolling him if he’s out of office, or would he have to start selling properties to stay afloat?

    2. @Rick Moss ricky boy you hit it on nail, he is the only president that is going to accomplish this. This is God`s hand in order for the scriptures to be fulfilled. So guess what Trump will be the next President.

  1. Hello from Canada, USA has no democracy lesson to give to any other country of the world. The circus happening every day since 2016 has discredited your country from any credibility in the matter. Looking at your electoral process right now, you would think you are talking of a banana republic. This is what Trump and the Republican senate has done in only 4 years. Really shocking.

    1. Thank God !!! Indonesia still better country and we still have democracy in our country. Very sad to USA now soo backwards!

    2. We have really been dragged into a gutter. The plethora of new rules that will have to be adopted to prevent this crap ever happening again is astounding. We didn’t need them before because no president has been so blatantly corrupt, incompetent, ignorant, unqualified as Trump

    3. Brenda Kirby yeah right! Like it’s the Democrats that are in power since 2016? Like it’s the Democrats that kept telling lie after lie. Are you for real? One of my boss told me one day…everybody can’t be wrong…there is a certainty here…Trump is a pathological liar that knows he will likely go to jail once he leaves the WH. Russia has secrets/interests on Trump that are unknown but that will be revealed one day. You may decide to close your eyes on what’s going on. But I would recommend you watch another channel than Fox News to have another point of view. It’s false to blame Democrats for the immense risk to your democracy. Trump has removed all the auditors of his way, named Barr that is working for him and not for the country…look at the definition of facism..you will see that 4 more years of Trump will get you to Trump being named president for life, rule of law will be history. This is not a joke. Make your research. USA are really in danger.

  2. 100% GOP fault for not stopping HiM when they were impeaching him in the senate, Moscow Mitch should be held responsible for every death from the Trump virus

    1. @Sonofspam64 Those worthless elderly are the people that helped build your country,fought in your wars,battled through the depression and were loved members of their families! And if you are a Trump supporter – shame on you as you are a disgusting low-life.God help America! You are the worthless one!

    2. one of the major Vegas betting polls as of today has Trump with 240 electoral votes not even counting Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Arizona…man this is disheartening….It is those riots and disturbances changing it.

    1. @White Candle there will be no Democrats. The party will be abolished along with any concept of opposition to The Leader.

    1. @Terry Fulds ..Not sure why you’re using insults and ad hominem. I simply pointed out that Trump’s response to the question makes a lot of sense.
      Again, if he wins there’ll be no need for “transition” and he’s smart to qualify his response by saying what he’s been saying for months: there’s a risk of election issues.
      Media are trying to spin Trump’s comments and are failing miserably. No rational person thinks he was suggesting ignoring democracy.
      Bottom line, I have just one question for you (please try to answer without insults and ad hominem):
      Will you accept the results of the election if Trump wins?

    2. Americans watch the Russian and republican trolls their here no sound minded Americans would go again their country and support citizens trying to break up good old USA

  3. Joe stop begging the Republicans to do the right thing they had their chance how we have our chance…. Vote blue 2020

    1. Joe Biden is telling us China is okay???? The China that maintains Concentration Camps and Slavery??? Joe, these are very, very, BAD things. You SHOULDN’T be defending China, Joe……BUT YOU ARE!! STOP IT, JOE BIDEN, STOP DEFENDING THE CHINA SLAVERS!

    1. you better worry about Biden taking all those trips over seas,and his son Biden Biden going to sell us out to china , if elected.

  4. Ready for a festival of “The POTUS really meant…” and “The POTUS was using sarcasm” from the GOP.
    All spineless cowards, what’s new though?

    1. Exactly. Let’s stop playing his game, and ask about serious issues, like bounties put on our Military by Putin. And, about the 200,000+ Americans who have died due to COVID-19.

    2. @White Candle
      More accurately it would be a mudslide.
      Don’t worry, donnie will lose biggly.
      BIDEN/ HARRIS 2020 🇺🇸
      donnie in exile 2021 🇷🇺
      Freeze his assets ASAP !

    1. 1 quesion for Susan Collins who voted not to remove trump from office during the the impeachment trial because she thought he learned his lesson… “Hey Suzie ya think he learned his lesson yet”

    2. !!! … Not just her, all those wannabe GOP cronies in bed with their idiotic and dumb orangutan 45th president should be included.

  5. Hand cuff him and escort him out. I can’t believe why America is allowing him to abuse his power? What is happening to our democracy?

    1. @Wil the pill Orshal Funny. No, the left has proven themselves to be the facists. I suspect the problem here is you don’t know the definition not facist. HINT:. It’s not whatever you want it to be.

    1. @Frank Fanuzzi Remember that the electorate in a state may Constitutionally ignore the peoples vote. E.g. GOP electors in swing states (and to my understanding quite some swing states have republican electors). It has happened once 150 year ago. And the SCOTUS has accepted it as being Constitutional. The Constitution unfortunately had an opening for tyranny from the beginning. And Trump, the Republicans and the Russians will do everything to get those electors to vote him for President whatever the people voted in that state. If Trump becomes the President in such a fashion, the military.—according to the Constitution—must accept him as President and the Commander in Chief.
      Trump and many Republicans will use any legal or illegal trick they can come up with to get such electors to vote for him. Because if he succeeds no one can touch him or any such elector.
      Now, that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t vote. The larger the majority vote for Biden will be in a swing state, the harder will it be for electors to ignore it.

    2. @Mary It is Trump and his followers who will take action first and second before we either responded with fight or flight be clear about this…I do not like war as a vet I have seen how ugly it is….but this is my home and when push becomes shove I and many other will not run …,We will always defend the vulnerable and their rights as Americans and this Republic is still worth fighting for

    3. @Håkan Bråkan Kråkan We are NOT TAKING CONSTITUTIONAL LAW here…If Trump wins thru the Electorate Collage again then so be it …but if he fails to follow the established law and make his own after the fact then that will not be followed and he must except defeat …no grinch of power should be excepted…

  6. When Pres. Trump loses, America wins. He will forever be known as the lying, deceiving, ultra-selfish, divisive president. His legacy that he will leave behind: Being the worst American president, to date, that the world has ever known..

  7. The president has shown himself to be a threat to national security time and time again. Lock him up! Lock him up!

    1. Joe Biden is telling us China is okay???? The China that maintains Concentration Camps and Slavery??? Joe, these are very, very, BAD things. You SHOULDN’T be defending China, Joe……BUT YOU ARE!! STOP IT, JOE BIDEN, STOP DEFENDING THE CHINA SLAVERS!

    1. and yet only person to try and off the orange puss was canadian. do the world a favour amerikkka, target trump supporters not cops. every vount counts

    2. See if you can find the word “Clinton” in the paragraphs below..
      Susan Lisa Rosenberg (born 5 October 1955)[1] is an American activist, writer, and advocate for social justice and prisoners’ rights. From the late 1970s into the mid-1980s, Rosenberg was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization (“M19CO”), which according to a contemporaneous FBI report “openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence”.[2] M19CO provided support to an offshoot of the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.[3]

      After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink’s robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard[4], although she was never charged in either case.

      Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years’ imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison, during which she became a poet, author, and AIDS activist. Her sentence was commuted to time served by President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001,[5] his final day in office.[6][7

    1. But this just happened & it is Imperative that we talk about it everywhere and never let up & an addition talk about the dead and the dying!

    2. We can do both. The fact is that we need to protect our democracy so that the recovered have a country to heal in

    1. Especially since an electorate may Constitutionally ignore what people in his state has voted for. GOP electors in a swing state where the population has voted pro-Biden in a large majority are still allowed to vote for Trump. It has happened once in the 19th century. And SCOTUS has declared it’s legal.

    1. @White Candle They will call for the revocation of every polsters employment papers and re-employ them as circus clowns.

    2. @White Candle <~ practicing Your propaganda stinks. Repeat a lie often enough and someone will believe you. You are a SCOUNDREL !
