Joe Scarborough spent the first half-hour of today’s Morning Joe blasting White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon for the failure of the health care bill. Excerpts:
“I will call Steve Bannon a hack. When you go in and threaten members, you’re not only a hack, you’re stupid at your game . . . Bannon failed miserably. He is the biggest loser.”
“The stupidity of Steve Bannon knows no end.”
“He’s an idiot when it comes to how Washington works.”
“He blew this.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Hey Joe, look Mika’ upright....
Anything for attention by MSNBC.
The biggest “loser, idiot” is in front of the camera.
Over the top, and typically shrill, but... this was a failure on the part of the Trump administration. There’s plenty of blame to go around, and someone in Bannon’s position deserves his share.
Liberals can only name call since they have no ideas.
STFU Banjo Boy and tell us what happened to the female staffer who turned up dead in your congressional office just before you resigned.
I don’t see “blame”, I glad it didnt pass. There was no repeal of obamacare...just reworded crap. I use a cost share plan that is Obamacare approved. It cost 150$ a month and bypasses the insurance companies, congress, and “tax” penalties.
”hack, stupid, biggest loser, idiot” Joe Scarborough?
Note that Scott Adams is correct, again! The “Trump is Hitler” meme is dead!
No, you're kind of creepy Beck. 
You're both creepy! Bannon is an anti Establishment Nationalist so of course Joe hates him.
Why Steve Bannon Might Be the Winner of the GOP’s Health-Care Civil War
The more I read and hear about the aftermath of the AHCA debacle, the more convinced I get that nobody in the Trump administration ever expected it to pass -- for whatever reasons those may be.
This tells you all you need to know:
Bannon is incredibly effective, they hate it that he helped kill this bill, and so it’s probably the right move.
As much as it pains me to agree with anything said by this butt-munch, any “threatening of members” by Bannon is stupid, especially the Freedom Caucus. Contrary to some here on FR, it’s plain most of them were behind Trump after his nomination so Bannon going Queeg-like on the FC makes no sense.
I haven’t heard much but the drips and drops I got from Team Trump suggest:
*They would have seen it as a victory either way. If the bill passed, Trump’s people would have begun immediately working on still more fixes, pushing it more and more to a genuine workable solution. No, it’s not and never was going to be “free market/pay cash for medical help” health care. But they can and will move it toward that.
*But with failure, it’s all on Ru Paul-—understanding it NEVER would have passed the Senate. So Trump can on the one hand let more public pressure build to fix O-care while avoiding much of the blame while he moves on to taxes, the economy, etc.
*I got the impression that the House Freedom Caucus did NOT negotiate in good faith, that they kept moving the goal posts. They were given concessions, then came back for more.
Remember, HFC is about 10% of the House R membership. That’s not a lot of bargaining power.
in which NBC tries to dupe Trump into firing his best advisers. Notice how he’s not blaming this on Priebus
