If Joe Scarborough were ever, as some have claimed, in the the tank for Donald Trump, he has officially climbed out as of this morning. On today's Morning Joe, reacting to the clip of Jake Tapper's interview, Scarborough called Trump's refusal to forthrightly reject the support of Klansman David Duke "disqualifying."
A bit later, Joe and Mika Brzezinski said that if Trump fails today to clean up the situation, Chris Christie "cannot stay with Donald Trump's campaign."

I watched Trump disavow Duke’s endorsement at the presser with Christie the other day. He said “I disavow”.
Yep... In what world is it wrong to say “I want nothing to do with David Duke and the KKK?” Only in Trumps mind. And that’s because of the stereotype he has of the south. He was afraid he would lose votes if he went against the KKK. That’s what he thinks of the south.
That poster along with a dozen others are trying to keep it alive
They hate Trump
It’s only a story to the left and GOPe
Trump didn’t speak fast enough about Duke
Now that is a big story .......in their Watters World
File this under Reagans visit to SS graves story
Who cares besides the folks bitching?
Yep... you gotta wonder why he didn’t do so over the weekend in the interview....
First, that was at the very end. It was not a question, it was a statement. And Trump had already indicated he would research it.
Why should he believe that talking head?
Do YOU always believe talking heads?
We all know that and yet again and again Trump makes their job easier. So shouldn’t he be criticized for doing that?
Sorry, I’m not going to carry Hillary’s water. Feel free to do that if you wish.
Great vids, recapping the Cheap Labor Express’ plan, against Trump.
Yes...I watched slimy Stuart Stevens....former Romneybot and member of the Mississippi Gang who took down McDaniels, against Thad...lay this out, the night of the debate.
Henry Barbour, Rubio consultant and son of fat cat lobbyist Haley...is the other team member/operative who played the dirty tricks, in MS.
The fact that Halperin/MSM is giving these thugs airtime to lay out their plan, tells us all we need to know.
Wake up, folks. Remember when we said we’d FOREVER remember Mississippi?
Thanks for the links...its amazing to think that conversation with Stewart and Barbour took place only a week ago.
Their panic is epic. Throwing everything against the wall to hope something sticks. Soon they will experience the “boy who cried wolf” phenomenon. We had it with Clinton. Eventually, you could say he was a murderous zombie and no one responded. They are insulating Trump without even knowing what is happening to them. By the time of the general there will be no shock left in the electorate no matter if true or false.
Since there are no perfect people, there are no perfect candidates. Compared to the alternative, Hildebeest (Sanders is scenery), every R candidate looks good, including Trump.
48% of Republicans say they won't vote for Trump in the general election. Who can blame them?
I watched the video. It is what it is. The guy was afraid of losing votes if he went against the klan. That’s it.
“So who’s your candidate? I see you prattling on about movies and bashing Trump but not supporting a candidate here. Who do you support now?”
Ignoring your unwarranted insult I support Cruz as he has the strongest and most consistent record of conservatism of any Repub candidate. He stands up to the establishment and they hate him for it.
Saw your tagline and that is how I ma feeling. I have two weeks to vote yet, but I am now getting pissed off with him siding with Rubio
WHY WOULD WE ELECT PRESIDENT A GUY WHO...?
Why would this country elect as president some guy who was known to regale friends with nigger* jokes, grew up with a boyhood hatred of slavery because his father regularly hired him out for heavy manual labor then confiscated his earnings, had a history of depression, was suicidal from time to time (in his defense, probably due to the death of his young son, but suicidal nonetheless) and eventually started an internecine war ostensibly to halt a slavery that was, due to its inherent inefficienty, fading out – and during which he thouroughly trampled the Constitution he claimed he was attempting to preserve – that took the lives of over 700,000 troops and civilians and...
What? Oh, yeah. That was LINCOLN! never mind!
*A corruption of another word now freely used by blacks around the world when referring to one another. To NOT have written the word here would be to accord the dark forces of political correctness an inappropriate and destructive victory of which Orwell’s Thought Police would be proud.
Why would we elect to the presidency and fellow who was well known for his hyperbolic and profane bluster during his campaigns and while in the office and..? That would have been Teddy Roosevelt who, when faced with a recurrance of the trouble with the muslims in the Med that plagued Mr. Jefferson, successfully backed them down.
Why would we elect president some guy who was not healthy and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day, married his fifth cousin then had a notorious affair with his secretary and...?
What? Oh, sorry, that was FDR!
And why would the American people put in the Oval Office a man who, while overseas running the war in Europe and another 3 pack-a-day smoker, was schtupping his secretary while his wife was back here tending to the family and just prior to D-Day, scheduled a poorly planned, ill-fated live-fire practice for the Normandy invasion (Exercise Tiger) that got over 700 American troops KILLED – HAD THEM BURIED IN A MASS GRAVE – THEN COVERED IT UP!
Oh, sorry. That was Republican DWIGHT EISENHOWER. Moving on...
How about another Democrat who, to his credit served honorably in the Pacific but DID manage to get his PT boat sliced in half by a Japanese destroyer but redeemed himself by getting his crew rescued. Running against Nixon in the 1960 race, this same married chap, whose handlers thought he was a bit “tense” before the first televised debate, took him out and got him laid. (That certainly relaxed him as he won the debate.) Once in office, this fellow had numerous extramarital affairs with mob molls and several Hollywood stars, Marilyn Monroe among them and...
Oh yeah. That was JFK. never mind.
(For an interesting aside re. that event and the role a leftist media type played in that debate, please see the footnote below. If you’ve watched the current debates, you understand that THEY STILL DO.)
And then there was this character from Texas who, after his friends counted the ballots and reported him barely ahead in a close race for the Senate, was shocked – just shocked –that the very night before the recount, would you believe it? — the courthouse burned down, destroying the ballots! Like Lincoln, “nigger” was a regular part of his crude vocabulary. This fellow was a notorious womanizer and drunk whose favorite technique for reprimanding errant subordinates was to call them into the lavatory while he moved his bowels. Classy, huh?
Then he...What? You say that was LBJ? never mind.
How in the WORLD could we elect to the presidency some guy who was a 60s socialist radical, later married one even more radical than himself, wangled multiple deferments from MILITARY SERVICE while other kids his age were humping through the bush in Vietnam dodging bullets and who was a woman abuser and engaged in sexual misconduct in the Oval Office with a young intern then, under oath, perjured himself about it and...
What? Oh, right, that was BILL CLINTON! never mind!
But why the heck would we elect some guy raised by grandparents and some pornographer — all three of whom were on FBI “Communist Watch” lists in the 50s and 60s (back when the FBI actually did its job of trying to protect US) – and whose mother posed nude for the pornographer before abandoning him and who has openly admitted to have been – and probably still is – a pot head and user of harder illegal substances and whose every action bespeaks a hatred for the nation he allegedly heads...
What? Oh, right. That’s BARACK OBAMA! never mind!
I haven’t researched all the other folks we elevated to the highest elected office in this country. If I did, I’m sure I’d find warts and blemishes on ALL OF THEM. And why would that be? BECAUSE, LIKE YOU AND ME, THEY’RE ALL IMPERFECT HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY.
Until some leftist “journalist” comes up with a fully documented list of reprehensible things MY candidate – who doesn’t drink or smoke and has raised his kids to be responsible, successful adults – has done to other folks, I’ll stick with TRUMP. And until these same media mavens provide me with a list of associates, friends, employees, clients and others he has screwed over and, further, convince me that he is attempting to prevaricate his way into the presidency (as the last guy did!) or that his profession of LOVE for America is as egregious a lie as the last guy told us, I’LL HANG IN THERE WITH TRUMP.
But my support for The Donald is based more on how the current crop (or is that crAp) of political elites and their media lapdogs and handmaidens are GOING NUTS because he is articulating problems in terms WE USE IN OUR CONVERSATIONS OUT HERE IN “FLYOVER COUNTRY”, AND NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW BEST TO ARRANGE THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE FOUNDERING SHIP CALLED “AMERICA”. Add in that he’s the only candidate who doesn’t need the job but, more importantly, DOESN’T NEED DOUGH FROM THE K STREET RENT SEEKERS WHO ROUTINELY BUY YOUR ALLEGED “REPRESENTATIVES” ON CAPITOL HILL and the rough talking, very UNPC, sometimes crude and impolite (read that “imperfect”) and that he has the “establishment” incompetents who created this mess WETTING THEMSELVES, Trump will remain my guy.
A fellow Freeper recently pointed out ANOTHER, rather strong reason for Trump to NOT GO ROGUE once in office:
I posted this:
“That said, should Trump win and go on prove to be but another undercover Judas Goat sent forth to lead us to the final holding pen of the One World totalitarian abattoir, that “explosive reaction” will make the extreme unpleasantness between 1861 and 1865 look like a peace rally!”
To which he replied:”
That’s why, despite what people say what trump will do, I think Trump loves his children and grand-children too much for that to be his legacy to them.”
Might want to toss that into your current equation!
Because the entrenched forces he faces have a 3 way program for dealing with outsiders (1. IGNORE; 2. DISCREDIT; 3. ELIMINATE), all we have to do is pray he REMAINS ABOVE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE through the debates, the election and, hopefully, on to January 20th, 2017 and an inauguration.

FOOTNOTE:
The 1960 Nixon-Kennedy Debates were directed by one Don Hewitt, creator of CBS’ “60 Minutes”. Hewitt told Nixon, who had a serious “5 O’clock Shadow” (beard, for you youngsters not familiar with that phrase) that he didn’t need to shave just prior to the program. Hewitt then directed the studio lighting to flatter Kennedy while arranging Nixon’s to make him look like an extra from “The Walking Dead”. Not satisfied, Hewitt slowly tightened the shot each time Nixon spoke so that his head loomed and filled the entire screen on TV sets all over the country. And as we all know, things that “loom” are clearly dangerous and should be avoided. The voters did so and, as we all know, Kennedy won.
I need to add that, warts and all, Kennedy did a pretty good job. While he got it completely wrong at the Bay of Pigs, he defused the Cuban Missile show down with the Soviets. And he was moving in the direction of unhooking our monetary system from the Fed (to which we PAY INTEREST on the currency they create from THIN AIR!), had begun speaking out about lowering taxes and getting us out of Vietnam. Some of us believe that’s why some folks blew off the top of his head on November 22, 1963. As with so many events like these, we may never know the truth.
Here’s the video of Huckabee on MSNBC - notice how Huck refuses to take the bait and brings up Hillary’s relationship with Byrd.
Huckabee: ‘I don’t know of anything’ that indicates Trump’s racist

Great. Cruz is at 12% in the polls and has no hope of ever winning the nom. Iime to pick another candidate. You choices are Trump and Rubio. Choose wisely, FRiend.
I disagree with your take on that video.
I heard him refusing to disavow unnamed groups.
SPLC considers Cruz a racist. Do you agree with them?
Trump did disavow it on his twitter account.
No, the guy who doesn’t know what “mandate” means, doesn’t know who David Duke or the KKK is, who gets his foreign policy knowledge from “the shows”, who’s entire plan for fixing health care is to “get rid of lines” and who thinks that judges pass bills.....is stupid.
