With his new book The Right Path to promote, there was Joe Scarborough acting as guest co-host on The View Tuesday morning. And the MSNBC host had plenty to say about the current state of his Republican Party, including the belief that the GOP is “too obsessed” with “hating on” President Barack Obama.
Scarborough began by laying out the premise of his book, in which he says the GOP needs a new Ronald Reagan-esque figure to lead the party into the future. He said the real problem is that “we’ve been conducting ideological witch hunts in our party. If you don’t agree with everybody on 100% of the issues, somehow you’re out.”
Much of the discussion surrounded New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who many view as a possible frontrunner for the 2016 presidential nomination. “The fact is, people that would judge Chris Christie because he hugged Barack Obama, first of all, they’re too obsessed on hating Barack Obama,” Scarborough said. He recounted that, as much he disliked former President Bill Clinton, when the president came to his district after a hurricane, he didn’t hesitate to hug him. “So Chris Christie hugged Barack Obama, get over it!” he said.
As for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Scarborough said he “has the same problem Sarah Palin has. About twice as many people have an unfavorable opinion as a favorable opinion. we have to figure out how to flip that around.”
Scarborough also surprised the hosts when he said he could see himself voting for a Democrat for president. “I mean, if we keep going in this direction, you know, I would,” he said. “I haven’t had to actually try that theory out yet, and hopefully our party will turn things around.”
Finally, Scarborough weighed in on the Affordable Care Act, saying, “I’m not going to endorse Obamacare right here.” But, he added, “If you don’t like Obamacare, then guess what? Let’s actually win elections and we’re only going to win elections if we come up to an alternative to Obamacare.”

Useless, feckless, uberdork coward and suck up.
Undoubtedly.
So what is Morning Schmoe Scartissue’s excuse for foreign leaders “hating Obama” over the NSA kerfuffle?
Just wondering, has Joe killed any interns lately..at least Bill Clinton didnt kill an intern, he just screwed them..Joe killed one
Why is Scabby’s opinion newsworthy?
We? Scarbro is disappointed the Communist Party hasn't been more successful?
Oh, that’s right, Vince wasn’t an intern, neither were all those other people:

Hating obama is righteous. If you don’t hate him, your brain has turned to mush. He has destroyed this country bottom up and top down. What is not to hate? It IS specifically obama, Joe. Not his skin color but his politics and his evil destructiveness and his desperation to turn us into a third world country because he wears a chip on his shoulder that could span the Mississippi.
Another confused loser who needs to register Democrat and get it over with.
And how did the Dems feel about Dubya?
Hypocrite.
It’s actually the fundamental transformation of our country that we hate.
(Joe) Scarborough Faries have spoken!
The current pResident even hired one such hater as his personal 2008 pop-agandist artiste.
ESAD Joe.
Scarborough was on The Daily Show last night plugging his book. He probably agreed with him when Stewart asked, “So if the Republicans had only listened to you for the past 10 years then they’d be in charge?”
I get confused, wasnt this guy the host of Scarborough Country a few years back? The guy who had Pat Buchanan on every night? And didnt he trash the liberal media for ignoring flyover,aka “Scarborough”, country on a nightly basis? The same guy who now pimps the editors of The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, the Nation, Time, and the Times every week? Something seems a bit off, cant be the same guy could it?
