Chris Buskirk at American Greatness reminds readers of MSNBC host Joe Scarborough getting the 2016 election completely wrong, buying into conventional wisdom that candidate Donald Trump was toast. Scarborough is currently on the warpath against Trump’s campaign CEO Steve Bannon, with day-to-day rants portraying the White House chief strategist as incompetent or mentally unstable. From American Greatness:
Before the election Scarborough repeatedly warned Republicans to cut and run from their nominee. In August, he gravely warned that for Republicans the election is “about saving the Senate, it’s about not getting wiped out in the House, it’s about not getting wiped out in the state legislatures and governorships. We have a lot to lose.”
Instead, Republicans won big in 2016 with Donald Trump. Not only did Donald Trump beat down the Democrats’ vaunted Blue Wall of states from Wisconsin to North Carolina and win the White House, Republicans also retained control of both Houses of Congress and expanded their already impressive dominance at the state level—leaving wise men like Joe Scarborough with egg on their faces. As a result of last year’s election Republicans now control 32 governorships and 67 of 98 partisan state legislatures and have a trifecta (control of the governor and both state houses) in 25 states. In the year of Donald Trump, Republicans even won the governor’s mansion in deep blue Vermont. So much for Scarborough’s insight into the American electorate.
But he stills wants us to take him seriously when he says that Steve Bannon is stupid and can’t implement the putting together of a ham sandwich. Yet Scarborough’s only claim to authority is that he had a brief stint as a Congressman and now has a show on MSNBC. That show is, presumably, built around his alleged insights or practical wisdom.

"Hey Joe - we are still waiting on a final outcome on how a female staffer ended up DEAD IN YOUR OFFICE!!!!"
Anyone know?
The SWAMP wants Steve Bannon out - AND as icing on the cake so does Joe Scarborough... That’s proof enough. Bannon MUST STAY...
The SWAMP thinks they’ve figured out Trump... he needs Bannon now more than ever...
Agree President Trump is just wading in the Swamp right now.
One of these things is better than the other.
Yep! He’s a real GENIUS! What will he do for an encore? Open a buggy whip factory?
He really is a low-life. And I do remember the rumors that he wanted to run for president. If he tries in ‘20, Trump will make him wish he was never born.
People who risked life, limb and family for fellow Americans including the Terrorist-demonstrators to be free to do all that crap. (just to get on TV)
Joe is in it for the "ego massage" he gets each day from his liberal employers.
And from his girlfriend...
What happened to Joe? Did he drink the water in the Potomac?
BTW, you have beautiful beaches there around Ft. Walton Beach. It’s a great area!
No. Still waiting.
Uni-Party coverup: he is a precious RINO to the Left - like Graham, like McCain.
