    I don't know if Bernie should accept the offer. You can't really trust Hillary to not pull something psychotic. Remember how she pulled the "if you elect Obama they'll kill him" card when she got desperate?

    Bernie is fine I think. Take your chances in Iowa, I think the polls are likely to be more favorable to Hillary than the real situation on the ground.

    A demoralized Morning Joe team:

    After they did this to Bernie, along with the rest of the "liberal" media:

    Awesome, just for being here right now before Iowa knowing Hillary is still leading, knowing that she is like a rock in this race. But screw you, I'm going to enjoy the pipe dream anyway.

    Meh I am sure they will name a navy laundry ship after Sanders... and on the bright side he can go back to being a regular guest on left wing radio and be pissed off all the time.

    Why do you say "demoralized"? Joe and his show has been very supportive of Sanders. Even in this clip they talk of him almost swooningly.

    Not that I am criticizing Joe for this. I like Sanders as well, and I think it is cool that principled conservatives like Joe are supporting Sanders as an honest person who they think really could help clear out a lot of the corruption of Washington, despite the fact they disagree with many of his economic policies.

    Obama did let progressives down. Now it is time for the real deal, Bernie

    Obama and Hillary are the best that the Wall Street Dems can do. Their personas and personal smarts/charms are truly impressive and formidable.

    No matter how smart or well spoken they are and how well they play the game, they cannot deliver for the average American. The Wall Street Dems can't accomplish much because they have to work against Congress controlled by conservatives. These folks deflect with god , gays (even if they are gay. have mistresses etc.) and guns because they are elected by the rich. If the average voter can't see meaningful difference in their life between the two parties, why not vote on those divisive social issues or who is taller more handsome, whatever.

    I had to laugh when I saw one of the more conservative talking heads on MSNBC who seemed actually puzzled and said how could both parties miss so badly the anger and issues of the electorate!! Easy. as currently played both parties and the Beltway crowd for the most part only cater to the wealthy and their lobbyists , as even academic studies show.

    Poor, Nook, to be so pessimistic/ defeatist at such a young age.

    Cheer up if Bernie wins you can vote for Trump or Cruz.

    As far as Sanders, at worst, so sad for you , he will remain a very popular and increasingly powerful senator in his state.

    So does Bernie think everything about "Wall Street", investing, and big/successful business is bad?

    Aren't you a stock trader? You think Wall Street should have carte blanche to blow up the economy whenever it wants? What about these micro trading computers that are plugged right into Wall Street?

    I think Bernie would say it's evident that Wall Street needs a gigantic revision of what should be legal and illegal on the basis of what's best for the country and the economy as a whole and not what's best for hedge funds and speculative traders.

    Good job spitting out Ed Schultz and Bill Press talking points.

    I am not sure where you get your ideas from. Cruz? Carson? The more cynical political consultants for Hillary? Fox News?

    Please share if you don't consider that too much of a commitment or risk.
