Seth Moulton and AOC on Morning Joe right now

Nice to see collaboration and civilized policy discussion

Nice to see Moulton exhibiting respect and listening when a strong young woman is speaking.

Getting airtime on two Dems discussing in this manner is the way to cut the crazy GOP off and reset goalposts around “Normal”.

More of this.

Too bad they can’t keep Joe quiet more. I appreciated their emphasis on high speed rail.

5. It was refreshing to hear ideas discussed instead of rants and complaints.

They only watch Fox or Newsmax, and get their latest conspiracies from hate radio and the Internet. I wish the news programs on NBC, CBS, and ABC would not bend over backwards to accept some Republican talking points. The recent story that irritated me was the one of a Trump-appointed IG saying that Trump’s photo op had nothing to do with clearing BLM protesters from the area. Thus, millions heard that Trump was cleared of any wrongdoing without even a peep from the media that the IG interviewed only a few Trump officials whose bias might be expected.

4. Maybe she trusts him not to embarrass himself around liberal Dems, after a long time before he had

come around to the sense they made (and also how wrong HE had been about the liberals all along). Maybe he has at long last "seen the light."

Yep. It's the first time I can remember left economic strategies being brought up on MOJO without Joe
immediately and loudly showing off the fact that I'm still a "strong fiscal conservative". Drop it Joe, we already know that!!

13. Quite honestly, I don't even know what that means any more when it comes to the federal budget.

I'd love to have someone ask him that and have him answer it. A federal budget is, by definition, a big government program. Conservatives embarrass themselves when they even bring it up. As my late mother used to say "This country won WWll and put a man on the moon! Don't tell me we can't ____"
fill in the blank. We also ended slavery and granted women the right to vote. That's big government for you.

and secondly he was so agreeable with her. I was listening on Sirius and wished I had actually seen it on air.
