Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe suffered a bit of an on-air breakdown this week, lamenting the fact that Trump is doing so well and seems to be winning. She also struggled to imagine what more Kamala Harris could do to increase her odds.
The Morning Joe program has become something of a one-stop shop for Trump Derangement Syndrome in recent years. It’s no surprise that Mika seems upset, considering how deeply invested she and her colleagues are in beating Trump.
Real Clear Politics provides a transcript:
MIKA BRZEZINSKI, ‘MORNING JOE’ CO-HOST: My attitude, if you will. So that’s the thing, is this morning and also all week, we’ve been talking about the frustration among a lot of Democrats that maybe the message isn’t breaking through to key voters. I mean, the polls seem so close every time a new one comes out, neck and neck.And there’s this fear that Donald Trump is poised for victory. I think it’s fair for Democrats to be incredibly depressed. I think it’s fair for them to be discouraged.I think it’s fair for them to explore whether Kamala Harris should be doing more. Feel free to do that. These things are all legitimate.I don’t know what more she can do, especially given what happened, though, in 2016, because that was a trauma for anybody who loves this country and a trauma that didn’t end that day. Obviously, Democrats want to make up for lost time as Kamala Harris has just days left to truly introduce herself to the American people. At the same time, it could be argued she’s doing everything possible.Rallies with tens of thousands of people, talk shows, radio, late night TV, podcasts, town halls are next. You can’t claim she’s not doing town halls. She wants to debate.She’s hitting the battleground states multiple times. She’s sending her top surrogates out on the road for a four week blitz through swing states, including former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, encouraging and winning over Republicans, including Liz Cheney, top military brass, top economic leaders, even members of Trump’s own administration, trying to tell Americans that she is for them.
