Given how Joe Scarborough has vilified Donald Trump for years, the Morning Joe host could be the world's least likely character witness for the President. But ironically, Scarborough's overt animus toward Trump makes him that much more credible when he says something positive about the President—as he did on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough swore that—having known Trump for 12 years—he had never in private heard him utter a racially-insensitive word. "We [gestures toward Mika] saw him for 12 years behind closed doors. Never, ever, once—I'll say under oath, I'll put into an affidavit—never once heard him say anything close to...

During an improptu presser today, President Trump took a shot at Ocasio-Cortez: “We’re looking at Venezuela, it’s a very sad situation. That was the richest state in all of that area…and now it’s one of the poorest places in the world. That’s what socialism gets you. When they want to raise your taxes to 70%.” https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1088568010007146496 (Video at Link)

NBC News correspondent Tom Brokaw slammed freshman Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for holding “pep rallies” instead of working to end the government shutdown. Brokaw placed equal blame on Democrats for the current dysfunctional situation, though he did criticize the President as well, asserting that government in Richard Nixon’s last year in office was “extraordinarily well run and organized compared to what’s going on now.” When it came to pointing fingers between both major political parties, he gave equal credit for the debacle. “Democrats are as much to blame right now as the Republicans are,” the media legend argued. But...

We’re almost two years away from the next presidential election, but Democrats have already begun to jostle for the position of Trump’s number one adversary. Gabbard, Harris, Gillibrand, Warren and Castro have already announced their candidacy for president. O’Rourke, Biden, Sanders, Booker and others are anticipated to announce their candidacy soon. When it’s all said and done, this will truly be a massive field of candidates. This large number of presidential candidates highlights the weakness of the Democratic party. It shows their inability to put their efforts behind a cohesive set of ideas. On one side, you have people who...
