Scarborough Mercilessly Mocks Rubio's 'Firewall' in Nevada
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/22/2016 7:37:48 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

Sorry, not swayed.

If you are implying that Globalists own Ted, then they are not getting their money's worth.

Yes, I do think Rubio suffers from an illness. In the Air Force we called it CS. When the chips are down go some where and hide, or better yet, let the staffers or police take care of the situation. Then you speak up. Yes, I would guess he suffers from CS. I wouldn’t trust him to be a strong leader. Look what he’s done to our border agents, the police etc.

Well, perhaps then, I lack the ability to properly articulate my thoughts. So I took the time to draw you a picture. I am not very good at drawing either, but I gave it a shot anyway.

Cute graphic, but you are assuming that Heidi would continue with that organization and that it would somehow affect Ted's views which it hasn't. Cruz defends US Sovereignty and opposed crony capitalism like the Export_Import Bank and Ethanol subsidies (unlike some other candidate). Can you point to one of Cruz's policies that calls this into question?

Here is Ted's view on CFR

CFR is a 'pernicious nest of snakes' 'working to undermine our sovereignty'
