Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough took a victory lap Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” showing a montage of clips of their analysis predicting the rise of Donald Trump.
The montage opens on June 16, the morning after former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) announced his bid. Trump would announce his candidacy later that day.
Then Brezezinski and Scarborough are back, just one day after the escalator ride that changed the presidential race.
The clips include Huffington Post senior political editor Sam Stein saying Trump’s campaign wasn’t serious. (The online news outlet briefly covered Trump’s campaign in the entertainment section, their bid to derail his campaign.)
The hosts have been repeatedly criticized for their allegedly cozy relationship with Trump while other mainstream media outlets and Washington pundits kept trying to predict the real estate mogul’s downfall. (The hosts have denied this, including a 10-minute rant by Scarborough on Feb. 19.)
“So what do you do after you dunk the ball and shatter the back board?” Scarborough asked. “Do you just walk off the court, Willie?”
“That’s what Shaq used to do,” Willie Geist replied.

I think the little tête-à-tête Trump and the Scarborough’s folks had the other day might have moved things in the direction Scarborough predicted they would go. No tough questions that is. If you predict your neighbor’s house is going to burn down then go set it on fire…you don’t get a victory lap.
Good lord what a knob this guy is. Please jo you ain’t Shaq. Shaq left the NBA after years of greatness, when he was too slow and old too be of much use. Why did Joe leave “the show” ie Congress agan?
Looks like Joe Scar’s angling for Presidential spokesman. He’s no Josh Ernest.
Plausible deniability?..after 8 months of daily promoting Drumpf, his 2 MSM fluffers want to wipe-off the traces. These despicable-2 are beyond redemption, after haranguing HRC daily with nonsense to raise her negatives!
Someday, videos of “morning joke” should be reviewed and their bonafides as sane members of the 4th estate shred to pieces. If the Son-of-Orangutan ever become president, he knows who to thank - no mistaken, the reckoning will be severe to the nation.
How do they fit all that legendaryness in their own tiny minds?
