A transcript is below but you really, really have to watch the video of New York Times columnist Tom Friedman on Tuesday's Morning Joe begging the viewers to vote Democrat in the midterms to get a full sense of his angst. His obvious desperation was written all over his face and was so over the top as to cause him to drop any pretense of non-partisanship (as if he had any) and urge everyone who could hear him to go full out Democrat in the midterm elections in order to put a check on President Donald Trump.

Friedman doesn't quite break out into the territory of Martha Raddatz's tears on Election Night, but he sure seems close to doing so. In fact, after watching his performance, it is not hard to imagine Friedman soaking a towel with his tears of despair if the Democrats do not win the House this November. Here he is:

Rubber Room ready.

freekman’s rants seem to always be near hysterical.

[Brilliant]

Why does the title say conservative? Friedman is a raving liberal lunatic.

[Inyo-Mono]

These people really are nuts.

[onyx]

Exactly so.
He’s a raving lunatic Leftie.

“Rubber Room ready.”

These people will never stop.

They are the never-ending scu&bags.

That was a copy/paste error. Administrator please remove "Conservative speech" from the title.

[FLT-bird]

Somebody else coined the phrase but its so apt I’m going to steal it.

The Blue Wave is turning into a Yellow Stream.

[heterosupremacist]

Hyper-projection! What he said about DJT was EXACTLY what I said about Barry Soerto ...

[griswold3]

Reason # 213 to vote for Republican

[TigerLikesRooster]

Tom Friedman, the chief propagandist for globalism. Was such a media fixture. Appeared on TV nearly everyday. I was glad when he disappeared from air wave. An old fossil crawled out of his den again.

[Carl Vehse]

Friedman demonstrates TDS in its final stage results in complete insanity.

[hinckley buzzard]

The NY Slimes’ Aging bright boy just doesn’t have it any more, if he ever did. Histrionic hyperbole takes the place of rational discourse. But then, of course— he’s a NY liberal.

[Kickass Conservative]

Does he want them to Vote for the Democrat Politicians who are part of the 40% who are Socialists, or the remaining 60% who are full blown Communists?

[chajin]

Idiot.

[BenLurkin]

These guys really hate America.

[Crucial]

Vote Democrat! Vote for Oppression!

[neverevergiveup]

Yeah, OK. Can someone post that Jennifer Lawrence thumbs up GIF?

[DaxtonBrown]

Full apoplectic. Never go full apoplectic.

[chiller]

Good endorsement....for Republicans.
