If there was one theme on today's Morning Joe, it was Joe Scarborough's relentless, merciless mocking of the notion that Marco Rubio has an electoral "firewall" in Nevada. It began with Mika Brzezinski's citing of a National Review article from December that spoke of such a firewall. Joe, butter not melting in his mouth, turned to Mark Halperin, coyly wondering why he was laughing at the notion. Halperin opined that, in fact, Donald Trump was likely to carry Nevada with his biggest margin yet.
Scarborough returned repeatedly to his routine, even working it into a Richard Haass report on the upcoming elections in Iran, with Scarborough declaring that Rubio had a "firewall" there, too. It was a pitiless Scarborough pile-on, persisting right through the show-closing "What Have We Learned?" segment, in which Joe claimed that "Nevada is Spanish for Rubio" and that, yes, one more time, Rubio has a firewall there.

Scarborough Mercilessly Mocks Rubio’s ‘Firewall’ in Nevada
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I can’t believe i’m saying this but “Morning Joe” has been a far better, and fairer, source of info and commentary on the presidential campaign than Fox New Channel’s s GOPe propaganda.
Scarborough is and has been as much the biggest GOPe, liberal fake conservative there’s been.
Of course he loves Trump.
Supporting Trump us like eating a mess of pottage your brother gives you because you are so hungry for anything, you’ll hake any deal for even a semblance of food.
It’s simple. You love Trump, you’re twitterpated.
That show is on the Trump bandwagon. Therefore you like it.
Same show, same people. Who has changed?
Sad, but true.
Almost every time i see Rubio he is licking his lips and looking dry mouthed. Is it physical or does he suffer from a phobia?
Doesn’t look very presidential if a person were to ask me.
Looks like a hidden liabilty, that if things got REALLY bad he might just faint, like those fainting goats.
No, i’m tellin’ it like it is, Ted. Or is it Marco?
report on the upcoming elections in Iran, with Scarborough declaring that Rubio had a “firewall” there, too.
Glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that. That’s hilarious.
Agreed.
If Trump wins NV, the media will say the real winner is Cruz or Rubio.
I've been watching for the last week or so. Their commentary and discussions are much more intelligent than anything you'll find on Fox and Friends.
Like Trump but can do without Joe!
Most conservatives disagree with you. Which isn’t really surprising, considering how wrong you are.
“I can’t believe i’m saying this but “Morning Joe” has been a far better, and fairer, source of info and commentary on the presidential campaign than Fox New Channel’s s GOPe propaganda.”
Not just MJ, but practically ALL of the rest of the MSM has been more objective about the Pub primaries. Murdoch has converted FNC into a 24 hour attack-Trump, love-Rubio channel. We’ve quit watching FNC all together: if you’ve seen one propaganda attack on Trump and one propaganda Rubio love-fest, you’ve seen them all.
I have lived in Nevada since March 2005. 3 Presidential election cycles.
I have NEVER been approached by the Republican party-—where i am registered-—to go to a caucus. I don’t even remember hearing where the caucus was being held in this valley.
However-——THIS year, I found out the info, and I have 6 other persons talked into going & voting in the caucus.
I know, 6 votes isn’t much———— but it is 600% MORE than those votes in the past. !!!!
We are all voting for Trump.
Immigration is a big issue in this state. Nevada has thousands of illegals-—mostly in the southern part of the state, but we all get taxed to pay for all the benefits they get.
They have brought alot of crime to Nevada, also. The Mexican gangs here are very active.
“Almost every time i see Rubio he is licking his lips and looking dry mouthed. Is it physical or does he suffer from a phobia?”
Heterophobia!
And when Ted comes in 3rd, he will say that he tied for 2nd.
It has been a setup. The fix was always in. We, the Republic, have been loosing a war of financial attrition for decades. We, the Republic are engaged in a war with those who govern us. Drastic measures are required to defeat this enemy in order to stop the bleeding that each of us are seeing in the depreciation of our savings, the constant onslaught of taxes, fees, and licenses. Each of them designed to remove our ability to live free.
If a slave is a person who works for no money, then a paid person who works with no money left for savings or investment is therefore a slave.
The Communists are very good at planning each move, they have been at it for over sixty years, to bury us. They are so close to succeeding.
Trump has stepped in and has sensed our rage.We want to throw our shoes into the machinery. We want to turn over the apple carts and toss tea into the harbor. Trump is giving us a voice. He is giving our children and grandchildren a fighting chance of enjoying the life that our parents fought and spilled blood in Europe and Japan so as to impart liberty to ourselves.
No, we will no longer hide in the shadow of political correctness.
No, we will no longer stand idle in the face of the globalist Red Menace.
No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will rob our children.
No, we will not play the game of choosing which Socialist will import an army of decapitating, lawless, savages into our home to eradicate Freedom and the American Way.
ANY and EVERY politician who will not build a wall is declaring he/she DOES NOT CARE IF YOU DIE!
I do not think Trump is a conservative.
I do not think Trump is morally pious and pure.
I do not think Trump is void of indiscretions or mistakes.
I do believe that any candidate that is a true conservative, morally pure, pious, and has walked the straight and narrow...would not stand a chance against the the globalist red menace that is systematically deconstructing our nation.
No, far from it.
Right now we need our own paladin of chaotic malice with a depraved sense of overly vengeful justice that will stand not for giving quarter. Right now we need our own Son of a Bitch glorious bastard, faults and all. We need to stomp out the treachery of political correctness that perpetuates racial discontent and has created Europe-istan, a Nuclear Iran, as well as ushering in a new world order of penniless servitude consisting of the entire earthly population bowing to but a few of the elite socialist megalomaniacs.
We need our own monster.
Ted Cruz may well be as advertised. No one knows. Four years ago, no one knew who he was.
He is young, deploy the Trump Bomb now, it is an ugly weapon of mass destruction that will result in some collateral damage, but it is required.
Alas, we have run out of time.
It will take many Ted Cruz clones to restore order in the aftermath.
I find myself watching CNN and MSNBC more than Fox now. Fox is so in the tank for any establishment RINO that they can’t even pretend to give fair coverage.
The other networks want Bernie or Hillary, so are pretty consistent when covering the Republicans.
