Scarborough: My Dog Is Way Ahead of Trump With Black Voters
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/04/2016 5:48:29 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough was probably just trying to make the point that Donald Trump is very unpopular with black voters, but he wound up saying something that some might view as insulting to African-Americans.

Interviewing Al Sharpton on today’s Morning Joe, he asked about the Rev’s view that Hillary has not been doing enough to appeal to black voters. As Sharpton prefaced his remarks by observing that Hillary is way ahead of Trump among black voters, Scarborough interjected “my dog’s way ahead of Trump among black voters.” Watch the video and note how Scarborough trails off at the end, possibly realizing he’s put his foot in it.

Similar to the “yellow dog Democrat” concept, but still kind of insulting to black voters.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Not only insulting, its wrong. He’s trying to say, even his dog get more voters, but that’s false. Trump may only get 20% black voters, but that’s million of black votes

He only needs 20-25%, which is 10-15% more than voted Republican in the past.

Every other day, RINO Joe has a guest appearance by Sharpton, a real tax cheat, while harping on Trump taking legal tax deductions.

If a Republican had said such a thing, the MSM would report that he claimed that his dog was smarter than a Black Voter.

Has Scarborough’s dog already cast an absentee ballot for Hillary?

I know where and who with Hillary will be spending that night, or at least, a few hours of it.

Joe is no RINO, Mika must be one hell of a lay, he’s a full on Democrat now and I expect him to announce a party change. “Not my Republican party...”

Political leanings aside, we used to have people like William F. Buckley giving us political analysis. Now we have Joe Scarborough saying, “My dog is ahead of Trump.”

Not a lot of value added to the debate, Joe.

...another false narrative. THEY (the media) know he’s got women and minorities voting for him...WAAAAAY more than McCain or Romney did. Hitlery needs those voters. So they will work to discredit Trump. BUT, what they fail to realize is that the ‘alternative’ media has now become MAINSTREAM.

One day, if we aren’t blasted off the planet by either a liberal or a jihadi maniac, righteous historians will look on this period of history with astonishment and horror.
