Scarborough: I'm Not Voting for Trump!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/18/2016 6:02:57 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough flatly stated that people that know him, as in his family, know whom he's voting for, and "it's not Donald Trump!" That's newsworthy because Scarborough has been accused by many, as here, here and here, of being in the tank for Trump.

Clashing with Time's Joe Klein, Scarborough said that, while not supporting Trump, he and Mika Brzezinski have simply been making the case that for months, the media have been "dead wrong" about Trump in constantly predicting his imminent demise. Klein, meanwhile, paid a very backhanded compliment to Trump. According to Klein, Trump has a "highly developed lizard brain" and a "feral intelligence," while knowing nothing about policy. Klein added that Trump reminds him of "the Emperor Caligula who got his greatest pleasure from destroying his opponents and humiliating them."

He is running his show as if he supports Trump and that’s all Trump cares about. It’s not that 1 literal vote from Joe. His disproportionate Trump coverage (practically obsession) and resulting free publicity has paid off for Trump many times over.

“Scarborough has been accused by many, as here, here and here, of being in the tank for Trump.”

Meanwhile moderators are hugging the Dem candidates and no one even blinks in the media.

I bet Scarborough is voting for Kasich.

You can tell rats like Klein envies guys like Trump .

Trump is everything Klein aspired to but could never be. A billionaire in New York with a beautiful family.

Klein is clearly jealous.

“Trump is going to be politically isolated”

Independents aren’t backing Cruz
Establishment aren’t backing him
Democrats aren’t backing him
Conservatives are split on him.

So we should vote for Cruz....why? Using that logic.

Then Cruz should be leading by thirty points in South Carolina by your logic. How come he’s down double digits in one of the most conservative states in the country, with a good many churchgoers, to a northeastern liberal?

“Trump is going to be politically isolated”.

Ah, wishful thinking... Trump is isolated from the dithering, useless conservative intelligencia who have done absolutely nothing about stopping Obama and Trump is isolated from the open borders globalist Left.

The rest of us recognize a genuine leader and achiever who is our best chance for recovery.

Hope you come out of your sulk soon.

As opposed to the other dreamy candidates that are part of the already broken system and that will do nothing to fix it?

Making up facts as we type, I can play too.

Trump, Cruz and Carson have the support of the Republican base, conservative democrats and independents.

Bush, Kasich, Rubio are splitting the republican RINO vote.

I didn’t think there could be someone as stupid as Barry, but Klein just might give him a run for his money. What an idiot

In compensation, I think Trump got Mika.

What a joke the 94th Congress has turned out to be... And these idiots cannot figure out why many Americans despise these elected bought and paid for harlots.

Small group you quote for him to be so far ahead of your preacher candidate. Your math skills need honed.

So what will "real conservatives" do in the general when Donald Trump is the Republican nominee?

Sit at home, vote 3rd party, vote for the Democrat?

The reality is that Ted Cruz does even worse against either Democrat potential. If Trump wins the nomination then he most likely will get many of those votes now being spread across the other Republican candidates vying to win the nomination.

Furthermore, the fact that Ted Cruz can't even get a majority in the primaries, in your opinion, translates into him winning handily against whomever the Democrat nominee is.

I for one am most interested in hearing your argument to support that assertion.

He and Trump (and Mika) are longtime friends so I’m pretty sure this ‘non voting’ disclaimer is for the primaries when it won’t matter anyway. Joe and MSNBC are probably particularly sensitive to his credibility after having called himself a supporter the other day.
