Scarborough: For Anyone But Trump, ‘The Mainstream Media Would Have Called This Race’ [VIDEO]

Daily Caller ^ | 1/19/2016 | Steve Guest

MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday that if any other candidate had the lead that Donald Trump has, "the mainstream media would have called this race over."

Scarborough told the panel that the race is coming down to "who can get the wild card berth for the playoffs. The fact is, Donald Trump is so far ahead in every one of these polls. Massively ahead."

Bloomberg's Mark Halperin interjected that Trump is the "number one seed."

"Let's just state the obvious," Scarborough said. Trump is "the number one seed. Number one, undefeated. Let's just state the obvious. If it were any other candidate but Donald Trump right now, the mainstream media would have called this race over." Halperin agreed.

Scarborough continued to say the establishment media would have said, "'It's a TKO. The fight is over.' Trump is destroying everybody outside of Iowa."

NBC's Willie Geist added, "And has been for six, seven, eight months now."

Geist said, "But you're right on that race for the wild card berth. If you look the New Hampshire poll in particular, it could be any one of a cluster of those people. You've got Jeb Bush and Chris Christie and Marco Rubio. There's a whole group there that hopes to hang around enough to steal that lane."

"Trump is trying to win Iowa," Halpin claimed. "He's there today with a big endorsement announcement. He's going back many times before the caucuses. He is not conceding Iowa."

TRUMP EFFECT!!!

[Fai Mao]

I’ve been saying this for weeks. If Rubio or Bush was sitting where Trump is at in the polls they’d be called the “Presumptive” candidate

Love him or hate him you better start getting ready to vote for him in the general election

[digger48]

They were calling it for Jeb. before anyone had even announced

I tend to agree.

Thanks for posting! I never miss MJoe.

TRUMP supporters need to DVR Morning Joe, to have a place to go where they speak of TRUMP in this manner throughout three hours every morning and the whole place is full of poli strategy and information.

Rick Wilson and Cheri Jacobus are both Trump haters.

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

Lol, and we are supposed to care what old phony Joe thinks why??

Doesn’t the fact this RINO supports Trump speak volumes?

[proust]

“Doesn’t the fact this RINO supports Trump speak volumes?”

This old fallacy.

So if Kim Jong Il loved James Bond movies, does that now make them fascist?

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

Fallacy? I don’t think so. Phony Joe claims to be a conservative and yet never supports conservatives.

Kind of like the great leader himself, no?

[BigEdLB]

On another thread we find that Rick Wilson has a yen for Anime, maybe Sailor Moon or Sailor Jupiter?

It ain't it over til the headline reads...

Pataki re-enters race! Odds on favorite to win!

Thanks.

We are Americans first, not Republicans or Democrats. That’s why ‘they’ don’t understand how tired we are of the sh*t sandwich they keep serving up every four years.
