Scarborough: Trump Comments on David Duke, KKK 'Disqualifying'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/29/2016 5:12:54 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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."

Ah, yes. It’s terrible.

The fact that Trump disavowed Duke the second that he heard about the endorsement doesn’t matter.

The fact that Duke DIDN’T ENDORSE Trump doesn’t matter...

No. The facts don’t matter.

“The accusation is so terrible that it doesn’t matter if it’s true.” /s

I HATE THE LYING MEDIA

Nonsense. You are cherry picking your polls. Since when is Alabama an crucial primary state? How is rubio doing in his home state? If he cant win his home state he cant win the ANYTHING. Is Rubio leading ANYWHERE? Cruz is well ahead in TEXAS ( a truly critical state), beating even Trump. No Repub can win nationally without Texas.


It matters because Alabama should Cruz Country for Senator Principled Conservative (TM). Cruz campaign is so weak he has to barnstorm his home state the day before Super Tuesday. Romney won MA with 72%. Cruz won’t even get a majority in the state he represents in the U. S. Senate. Sorry, it is what is. Cruz is done.

If Trump really doesn’t know anything about David Duke, he surely is not qualified to any elective office.

Has he been living under a cabbage in Central Park?

“Sorry, it is what is. Cruz is done.”

Most think that Cruz has a path to victory but Rubio does not. In any case its a waste of time arguing who is going to be 1st loser in the primaries on the eve of super Tuesday. All we can do is see how it goes.

And let people draw their own conclusions [about Trump's support of the Klan].

And what would those conclusions be? That he supports the Klan? I agree that they will try to use it. But it will only sway shallow thinkers. Come to think of it, there may be too many of those, so maybe you're right. No more to say on this.

He already disavowed it once a few days ago when he was taking questions during the Christie endorsement.

I am sure that the ads will be written in such a way that many people will come to that conclusion.

But it will only sway shallow thinkers. Come to think of it, there may be too many of those, so maybe you're right.

Both sides base a lot of their campaigns on their ability to hornswoggle the electorate. And they are seldom disappointed.

Scarborough being ignorant I see. He got to many memos to get on board to attack Trump from the PMSNBC suits.

From video at #149:

"Stuart Stevens and one of the Barbour boys (Haley Barbour’s sons) admit what they did in Mississippi (racist invective against McDaniel) and are admitting they’re going to do it against Donald Trump."

Yeah, reminds me of Hillary tactics.

Dems pay Duke to endorse Repukes.

Simple.

And if the KKK endorsed him, it’s the FBI moles who did.

The entire crap sandwich is manufactured crap.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.


Can you expand your ping to include conservative media since they are acting almost the same. I had Faux BUSINESS NEWS on, for 30 minutes it was a parade of anti-Trump guests with no mention of the markets.

Turned on CNBC, first word was “portfolio” ~ very telling.

Please add me if you cover all media criticism ;)

Just switched TV back to Faux Political “Business” News after an hour of politics-free CNBC business news, and sure enough Fox is still on politics—mainly Trump...and his latest taunt to Cruz—now Trump polls....

Sheesh not going to bother tuning into Faux Political News any more. Their only semblance of business news is the chyron...oh wait, they just finally mentioned DOW down 100—CNBC had it on several minutes ago

Now the true Joe shows up. I knew he would. Duke did not endorse Trump.
