Scarborough: DeSantis Is Another 'Jeb!' He'll Avoid Trump, Skip 2024 Run
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/20/2023 1:16:02 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Are we in 2023? Or are we back in 2015? Because Joe Scarborough is back to touting Donald Trump as a juggernaut, as the heavyweight boxing champ of Republicans. This is the same pundit who couldn't stop calling Trump a "fascist" not too long ago.

On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough suggested that DeSantis and his appeal is akin to Jeb Bush in 2015: someone loved by the big-business donor class, but who can't stand up to Trump. Scarborough predicted that DeSantis will decide not to run in '24 and skip the Trump "meat grinder," and instead finish his gubernatorial term with sky-high approval ratings, then start preparing a run in 2026 when he doesn't have to worry about facing Trump.

Scarborough is another Ted Kennedy. Ask his intern. Oh right.

Trump cannot “win” and neither can DeSantis unless Republicans learn to manufacture votes as prolifically as do Democrats and if they did the Republic would be just as dead.

Comparing Jeb to Ron is like comparing nefarious to moral.

You are 100% correct. The most discouraging part is this. 2/3 of the GOP either does not believe the diverse and ubiquitous cheating is real or worse they are ok with it.

I noticed that too. The adulterous wife does not look amused by her husband’s lustful leers at Willy the Twink.

How long before MSDNC starts laying off all the dead homosexual wood on that network?

Didn’t Mika get a face job? I haven’t seen her smile much, I think she went under the knife. I hope she looks like John Kerry’s chin when it’s all over and done with.

DeSantis will be the next Republican President.

Trump should endorse him.
