The culling has begun, with Republican Donald Trump posting tweets Friday afternoon that criticize MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, a former GOP lawmaker who has often been criticized for being too chummy with the billionaire.
Joe Scarborough initially endorsed Jeb Bush and Jeb crashed, then John Kasich and that didn’t work. Not much power or insight!

I hear @JoeNBC of rapidly fading @Morning_Joe is pushing hard for a third party candidate to run. This will guarantee a Crooked Hillary win.

Scarborough has been something of a fair-weather friend to the presumptive GOP nominee. While Trump has frequently appeared on “Morning Joe,” Scarborough has aggressively defended the show from charges of favoritism.
Earlier this week, Scarborough said he wouldn’t vote for Trump unless he took back his proposed ban on Muslim immigration.
It was inevitable that Trump would turn against his pumpkin shiner.
Thats what you get Joe for kissing Trumps ass.
Oh, snap! Donald takes his copy of the Wall Street Journal and slaps his whiny little bitch Joe Scarborough on the nose. What, wasn’t Micro Breadmaker, his wondrous female superhero sidekick, there to defend him? Now I’m waiting for Drumpf to bring up that DEAD INTERN.
Hey Joe, you lay down with assholes, and you wake up with Preparation H all over your face.
This is glorious. All those late night rendezvous back at the hotel after those victories and now comes the walk of shame.
This is huge…A Battle of the Tired Acts…yawn/roar.
