Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough said Monday his pet rock could have toppled Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, thanks to all the baggage she carried into the contest.
“My pet rock could have gotten 45 percent against Hillary Clinton,” Mr. Scarborough said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Maybe if my pet rock didn’t make any gaffes in the three debates, my pet rock could have beaten Hillary Clinton.”
Mr. Scarborough, a Republican, said the election was not about President Trump, who won the electoral college and lost the popular vote to Mrs. Clinton by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin.
“This election was not about Donald Trump,” he said.
“It was all about Hillary and Bill Clinton.”

It's likely that half of America would have voted for anyone or anything against Hillary.
You’re pet rock could have won but not sure you could, Joe.
But Scarborough would have lost to everyone.
Nope. I’ve said again and again, Trump was the ONLY Republican candidate who could have beaten her.
Do you really want to argue that Ted Cruz would have carried MI and PA? He likely would have lost FL and NC.
He might have taken WI, but still would have been way short-—IF he even survived the campaign.
Cankles would have had 10 mistresses come out claiming he had sex with them and he’d have been buried. Ditto Yeb or Kasich. ONLY Trump could have beaten her because only he could survive the slime and could appeal to the MI, PA, WI, OH electoral majority-makers.
Thinking of all the candidates that Joe’s pet rock would beat out, made me laugh out loud. Jeb, you got beat by a pet rock.
sure that’s why you all had her winning in a landslide.
Yes, I think he might have. There was a major anti-0bama, anti-Hillary vote just waiting to be tapped into.
Michigan is a different state than it used to be. Pennsylvania is redder than most people think.
Bull Crap! He’s simply saying that to denigrate Trump’s accomplishment. I supported Ted Cruz during most of the primaries but volunteered and helped out the Trump campaign in the general. I’ve become convinced that Trump was the ONLY Republican primary candidate who could have successfully defeated Hillary, the mainstream media & the forces of both the Uniparty & the Establishment. To say nothing of the Deep State!

These media types don’t know ANYTHING about the people of this country outside of NYC and LA. They are the worst at predicting anything political because of their ignorance.

Joe your guy Jeb! Wasn’t going to win either
From what I hear, Mika seems to hve some say over Joe’s rocks.
Mika would not have stood a chance, Joey. Quit trying to score with the bottle blonde.
*Your
well said. Plus, only Trump had the star power (in his case, money + fame, both together) to compete with the Clintons.
Well, I would have voted for Joe Scarborough’s pet rock, or a dead dog, or a rabid skunk instead of Hillary...
So why didn’t Mika run?
Exactly!
