Scarborough Warns: Republicans Will Be ‘Wiped Out’ in 2018 if They Go Too Far Right

“There, I said it. Mark it Down. Write it.” That was Joe Scarborough on today’s Morning Joe predicting that Republicans will be “wiped out” in the 2018 elections if they govern as far right as the Trump cabinet selections suggest.

Scarborough drew the analogy to the 1994, and more specifically to the 2010 midterm elections, when Dems suffered cataclysmic losses after an emboldened Obama admin governed from the left in its first two years.

Scarborough misses an important point, in the view of this Insurrectionist. Dems didn’t get punished in 2010 because of the abstract notion that they governed too far to the left. They lost because their liberal policies failed. The economy remained in the doldrums. And people could see that Obamacare was heading for failure.

But what if those conservative policies succeed, Joe?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

They will be wiped out if they don’t go right enough.

These buffoons have been so right about so many things.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Bingo!

On the contrary, they will be wiped out if they don’t go far enough right. This is the last chance that the base will give these fools. If they go wobbly again no one will vote for them. This is their last chance to get right with the people.

Thanks for the tip, Joe...

Now go chase yourself.

This was the same guy who several weeks ago told us Kellyanne Conway was on the outs with Trump over the flirtation with SoS candidate Mitt Romney.

[Neoliberalnot]

Yes, let’s all listen to the advice from our enemies.

[Savage Beast]

Yeah, Joe.

As the (far more astute) Ann Coulter says, though I must rely on my memory (please forgive me, Ann, if I get it wrong): The guy who said he was going to build a wall, deport them, and crush the drug cartels won by a landslide (or something like that).

[rhett october]

Dems always say that.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Oh Joe! Go help your intern...survive!

Because McCain and Romney made the Republicans in American politics look like the Montreal Canadiens dynasties of the late 1950s or late 1970s with their successes, eh?

It all depends on the definition of “too far right.”

On the right end of the spectrum is “zero government at all.”

On the right end of the continuum is “total government.”

Therefore, if he uses my definition, then I agree. If the right disbands all police forces and the military, then they will have gone too far.

[cdcdawg]

Thanks, Joe, your concern is noted.

Over the last 3 or 4 elections, the country as a whole has moved right. Exception of coarse was the reelection of that Bozo in the white house. Governorships, state houses, U.S. House..then U.S. House again and the Senate. Now the POTUS.

I reckon facts are irrelevant.

[headstamp 2]

As opposed to the left which has gone full retard.

Has Scarborough ever been correct? Look for increases in majorities in both houses in 2018.

More likely than not Trump will win re-election by a landslide.

Has Joe ever had a real job?

[JudyinCanada]

These people are so funny. They must have the most grandiose ideas about themselves. I laugh every time I hear Bill O’Reilly telling Trump what he should be doing....what a putz.
