MSNBC’s morning-after coverage of the Super Tuesday primary elections hinged towards the dramatic at times. Morning Joe panelist Mike Barnicle compared the need to defeat former President Donald Trump to America rallying to defeat Adolf Hitler during WWII.
The panel discussed Trump’s acceptance speech Tuesday evening, during which he described the apparently grim state of the country. Barnicle described the message he was sending as “stunningly pessimistic,” but a point co-host Joe Scarborough made a bit earlier about the American spirit during WWII got him thinking:
I was reading again, rereading Rick Atkinson’s trilogy, the first part of his trilogy on World War II, [An] Army at Dawn. And on the morning of June 6th, 1944, a young lieutenant, James Rudder from Texas, led the Second Airborne Battalion up the sides of a cliff called Pointe du Hoc, a straight-up cliff, 125 feet to a German pillbox. And he went right at the Germans, right at the Germans. Fifty percent casualty rate. Why did they do it? They did it because we were Americans, and we were there to save Europe from Hitler.
And now all of these years later, we have to get together as a country and save the country from the threat that Donald Trump proposes. Donald Trump actually has said, we all know this, that he could solve the war in Ukraine in one day. And we know how he would solve it. He would say, “Vlad, it’s yours.” He would turn it over to one of our fiercest enemies. That’s what we have to watch out for. That’s what we have to protect. We have to protect the country that we love, that we believe in. Not the country that he describes so negatively.

Mike Barnicle
An apt name for a useless crustacean that simply hangs on and ruins what it touches.
Barnicle? The plagiarist fired from the Boston Globe? Ill go with craven and dishonest .
Perfect for the bunch that hired the guy who hosted a dead intern in his office.
I’m amazed at the endless references to Hitler. It shows how undereducated these idiots are on history. The left is exactly what they accuse the right of being.
lol, yes the ones who destroyed the democratic act of voting and unleashed the 3 letter agencies on American citizens love to claim Trump is the threat to democracy and is hitler.
Sad part is many libtards do believe that
Oh how these MAGA Nazis despise the new American culture!

They CIA mockingbirds manufacture their false reality out of whole cloth and then peddle it with ridiculously loud alarmist screams to the general public. It’s the Agency’s way of shaping the public narrative - the old adage being - tell a really big lie and repeat it often enough and the masses will come to believe that it’s true.
>>Donald Trump actually has said, we all know this, that he could solve the war in Ukraine in one day. And we know how he would solve it. He would say, “Vlad, it’s yours”
Uhhh, no Mike. That would be Biden.
Get even, vote Trump.
All this love America talk the America haters are suddenly spouting…for all of my life the left have absolutely hated the type of guys who went up Pointe du Hoc.
If he is Hitler than any ends justifies any means. Fact is these guys are the real Communist Nazis.
Barnicle has been drinking the kool-aid his entire life. He’s just another of the “bubble dwellers” who will never venture outside their comfort zone to see what’s true and real.
