“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough, who’s long been criticized for appearing too pro-Donald Trump, said Thursday morning he won’t vote for the presumptive Republican nominee if he continues to stand by his proposed temporary ban on Muslim immigration.
“The convention offers him an opportunity – [it] will be the first time a lot of Americans have really looked at Donald Trump, the candidate. We see this all the time. The vice presidential selection offers him an opportunity,” Scarborough said, noting Trump is running out of chances to ideologically pivot as a candidate.
The former Florida congressman went on to say if Trump goes into August with his current polling numbers, he would lost “big time” in the fall, so his campaign “better be all hands on deck right now. This is not going to be a slow turn.”
After Trump said in a Wednesday night interview that he’s not backing away from his proposed sweeping ban on Muslim immigration into the country, Scarborough said he was disappointed in the candidate.
“And I gotta say I was surprised and disappointed … that yesterday, he stuck by the Muslim ban. That’s a loser. It’s a loser with the majority of Americans,” the MSNBC host said. “And you’ve got Republicans like me. I just, I’m not going to vote for a guy” like that, he said.
Aw, gee, how white of you, Joe.
oooooo… good one Joe… well thought out… your only beef with Donnie Dimwit is his threatened ban on Muslims?
you’ve just proven your self as shallow Dr Ben and his suggestions for untrusTED sCruz or Sarah Palin with her gibberish word salad…
HAHAHAHAHA…(wipes tears from laughing so hard)
And he delivered it with a straight face…that’s some serious acting skills on display there.
First off, Scarborough will most definitely vote for Trump, no matter what he says or does. I am pretty sure that Trump could strangle Joe’s puppy right in front on him, and Joe would still vote for him…eagerly.
Secondly, even if somehow Scarborough DIDN’T vote for Trump, the fawning over exposure he gives Trump on his show is far, far worse than any one vote. Its kind like the big heroin dealer saying he will never take the stuff because its so vile…while selling it to millions of people. The damage is done.
Frickin’ excellent observation.
Self-important Joe threatening the very self-important Trumpf? One windbag to another? What!
