Scarborough Snark On DeSantis Pullout: Voters Didn't Want Imitation 'Fat Elvis' Trump
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/22/2024 9:19:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

In its second half-hour, today's Morning Joe eventually got around to the DeSantis news--and did so with a nasty smirk.

Katty Kay kicked things off. You might imagine that BBCer Kay represents the more refined wing of the liberal media. But there she was with a mocking laugh as she suggested to Charlie Sykes that they do a DeSantis post-mortem, "before we consign him to oblivion and forget his name."

Scarborough took it from there. His theme was that Trump is "Fat Elvis," the "sweaty Fat Elvis" of 1977, and that's what his fans want. Thus, they were not going to switch to a knock-off Fat Elvis in the person of DeSantis. According to Scarborough, DeSantis needed to find another lane, but never did so.

They brought up an “alleged” and dubious rape charge against Trump after 40 years. Why not do a “cold case” on this moron? Does anyone know why charges were never pursued?

Believe it or not, DeSantis will have more perceived gravitas if he runs again in ‘28.

Look at how Biden’s first campaign ended and yet he eventually won the nomination, for instance.

Name recognition and “having been there” as a candidate is huge later, no matter how lousy the performance at the time.

Says the guy with his eyes too close together. Must be a lot of inbreeding in his background

“Does anyone know why charges were never pursued?”

The investigation ruled the death to be caused by an accidental fall while she was alone.

That’s why they talk about Trump and avoid mentioning the senile Biden.

Ya. The massive elephant in the room. And Democrats being the hypocrites that they are, they will attack Trump for his age and senility. But we need to remind that they are hypocrites because they ignored Biden’s numerous issues.

Any reasons to vote for Biden Joe? Namecalling is so childish.

One doesn’t prove the other even if the first is true. There was no evidence of murder found. I doubt the police were protecting him, but people love fantasies.

Perhaps, but that has nothing to do with my comment. By the way, do you prefer Haley? I’d take DeSantis over her.

Trump is my Choice 1 of course, but I worked under every president starting with Johnson and all that has mattered is what I did, not what they did. I don’t get excited over who is in the Big Chair. I’m in my own Big Chair and being happy and successful is completely up to me, not them. That attitude has worked out great since 1967.
