You know what's most encouraging about Scarborough running?
1) He's hated by the tea baggers and the right wing ignorant wingnuts who've hijacked his party
2) He's on MSNBC, not Fox News
3) He appeals to centrists more than liberals or conservatives
4) He's telegenic, interesting, media-savvy and someone you want in your living room (unlike the creeps, bores, frauds and weirdos running for the GOP nomination)
5) He's authentic, and speaks his mind, like it or not
6) He has the courage to say we need to cut entitlements, and balance the budget NOW
7) He has the courage to say we need to get out of Afghanistan and Iraq NOW
8) He appeals to women (unlike the scary creeps running for the GOP nomination)
9) He's unexpected, and his candidacy will throw a big wrench into an otherwise boring GOP race
10) He can win (unlike any of of the other GOP candidates)
Wishful thinking. Joe is an ideologue, and thick-headed to boot. If he does run he could use one of his favorite "gripes" in the early primaries:
ReplyDelete"....tell someone earning $250,000/yr in NYC they are wealthy..."
The New Hampshire voters would love to hear the argument that $250K is practically poverty level where you come from, right Joe?
Iowans would probably appreciate and relate too!
Considering the average "chump" earns around $40,000 annually, the $250K position you take is interesting to say the least.
