There is some reporting out there that Joe in particular is genuinely rattled. That's not assumption, supposition, or jumping to conclusions--people close to the man believe he is *scared*, both for himself and for his family.
He has reason to be. He knows Trump well, and his vengeful gangster nature. Moreover, as a former congressman, he knows the government well, and what grievous damage it can do to people in the wrong hands--particularly with those, like himself, with lots and lots to lose.
As such, I would say what all of us are trying to do is not so much *shun* or cancel Mr. and Mrs. Morning Joe per se, but implore them to dig deep and find their inner cojones. It will be quite easy for them to chop said cojones off, like so many have done in this sad era, and flatter and appease the incoming dictator. The mere act of them coming to Mar-a-Lago and "negotiating" with Donald is almost certainly seen by the *latter* as weakness and surrender.
And yeah, Joe probably doesn't see it that way. I'm sure most of the MAGA-ified Republican party doesn't see their cravenness any differently. But, alas.
Mebbeh. Dunno.
