Morning Joe Panel Tears Into ‘Train Wreck’ Ted Cruz: ‘Completely Ignorant,’ ‘This Is The Taliban’

“Have you seen what Ted Cruz is doing?” Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday morning. “Ted Cruz is attacking anybody who’s not willing to shut down the government over the government over Obamacare. He’s lambasting fellow conservatives like Tom Coburn—Tom Coburn!—and saying that he serves in the surrender caucus.”

“I need to be very careful about what I’m going to say here,” Scarborough continued. “Ted Cruz comes in obviously so completely ignorant about the war that Tom Coburn has been fighting for twenty years, and to say something like this about Tom Coburn—Ted Cruz, he is a total train wreck. He is comparing Mitch McConnell to Barack Obama. He is attacking Tom Coburn as being a member of the surrender caucus, when Tom Coburn—and yes, Senator Cruz, and I—put our political lives on the line more in six months than Ted Cruz will put his on the line in a lifetime.”

“If I were Ted Cruz, I would be extremely cautious about getting into the ring with Tom Coburn,” Mike Barnicle said. “Ted Cruz would end up being Kid Candle in that fight. One blow, and he will be out against Tom Coburn.”

“Jon Favreau’s written a great piece in the Daily Beast about this whole trend now about not the small government conservative, but the no government conservative,” said Tina Brown, editor of the Daily Beast. “That is what Tom Cruz is a member of. This is the Taliban.”

I bet Ted Cruz didn’t have a dead intern found in his office right Joe?

[riri]

I have to tune these people out anymore.

Wake me when it's time.

[cripplecreek]

Piker.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune Glenn Beck is leading the rise of the Nazi movement in the USA.

[Vigilanteman]

Joe Scarborough will never amount to a polyp in Ted Cruz’s lower intestine.

[Resolute Conservative]

I don’t think Senator Cruz is concerned what little Joe thinks or Tom Coburn.

I would like to see someone shove their fist down his throat though.

[Snickering Hound]

You're over the target...

[Diogenesis]

Joe Scarborough is a vicious Romney supporter
with a dead intern found in his office.
He has a history of attacking Gov. Palin
and covering up Team Romney's attacks on the Palin
children, for his fellow-backstabber RINO Willard ObamaCARE Romney.

"Pat Buchanan asks Ziegler who were the main culprits in the media attack against Palin,
and Joe Scarborough interrupted Ziegler and would not let him answer!"

[tet68]

I’m liking Ted Cruz more and more...

[alloysteel]

Joe Scarborough has been wholly and thoroughly domesticated by the leftist media, and he has become their tame pet “conservative”.

Potomac fever, like malaria, has left Joe with a permanent tremor and causes bouts of delirium, as some residual neurological damage remains.

[SharpRightTurn]

Joe, it’s just sad to have your brain addled with drugs early in the morning.

Sober up and then we can talk.

[Hostage]

How many people watch or listen to Mr. Scarecrow? 3? 4?

[txrefugee]

Ted Cruz has a brilliant future. Tom Coburn is retiring. Joe Scarborough is a has-been who is on the least-watched network on TV. If his asinine comments weren’t posted here, none of us would know that he’s still around.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Your being FAR too kind..maybe 2 if he’s lucky. I doubt his own mother bothers to watch him

[Fester Chugabrew]

These liberals have gone off the deep end with their shrill accusations and name calling.

[gogeo]

This is why we need a third party.

[austinaero]

The fact Ted Cruz causes this type of response from joke Joe,, is all I need to know to love Ted Cruz even more!

Of course,,Joe did not offer any facts to prove Ted wrong now did he?

[showme_the_Glory]

The left is wetting themselves over TC. And they should.

[Regulator]

Joe who?
