Morning Joe Gloats: Trump, GOP Knocked On 'Asses,' Buries VA AG Murder Texts

Joe Scarborough tried to present himself as the kindly consultant, saying he warned Republicans not to overreach, or imagine they'd occupy the White House forever. But that was just cover for his gloating proclamation, that if Republicans didn't listen to him: "And if you go too fast, voters will knock you on your ass immediately. And that's what happened yesterday." Democrat ex-senator Claire McCaskill didn't even bother trying to disguise her glee, saying of President Trump: "Yeah, I'd say he's on his ass." Morning Joe proceeded to give the shortest, most misleading, of shrifts to the victory of Democrat Jay Jones in the Virginia attorney general race.
