Joe Scarborough says he won't vote for Trump unless he rescinds extreme views
The Week ^ | 05/05/2016 | The Week

MSNBC's Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough has been accused -- often quite convincingly -- of being in the tank for Donald Trump. But the former Republican congressman said Thursday that unless Trump curbs his extreme views, he will not have Scarborough's vote.

Scarborough said Trump comes up short "on Latinos, women, on so many other things ... The convention offers him an opportunity -- will be the first time a lot of Americans have really looked at Donald Trump the candidate. We see this all the time. The vice presidential selection offers him an opportunity."

Scarborough also pointed out that Trump will need to start cutting back on his extreme rhetoric sooner rather than later. "I'm never going to vote for a guy who says they are going to ban somebody because of the god they worship. And he's got to have to make that turn fast. He didn't do it yesterday. Maybe he does it over the next couple of weeks," Scarborough said.

Many Republicans have said this week that they will not vote for Donald Trump, despite him being the presumptive nominee.

Trump’s usefulness to the left wing media is quickly coming to a close. Now that the other GOP opposition is eliminated, the knives come out.

So Joe pushed and pushed and pushed Trump, and now this. The media is so broken right now.

Sad news indeed.

Quite disturbing, actually.

I just don't know if the Donald can overcome this.

I wonder how many GOPers say that nevertrump crap just to save face because they work among too many libs, but when it comes time. they’ll pull the lever for Trump, and probably lie about that later as well.

I’m not really a Trump supporter, but to say that Trump is prejudiced against anyone has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

There are countless people of all races and women that speak extremely highly of his generosity and fairness.

There are some reasons not to like Trump, but discrimination or bias aren’t valid ones.

Zero. They will vote for Hillary and then lie and say they did not. Just as they voted for Obama two times and denied it.

Sounds to me like Joe is offering his name as a possible GOPe presidential candidate.

:: We see this all the time. The vice presidential selection offers him an opportunity ::

Seems ^Joey -dead intern- Scarborough^ might be angling for a spot in the Trump entourage?

The true traitors to this country expose themselves daily and I welcome it. It’s good to know who the enemy among us is, so called Republicans and Conservatives especially.
