Morning Joe: In Rejecting Huntsman, Republicans 'Turned Their Back' On Reagan

Tuning in Morning Joe today, I half expected to discover on the set some professional mourners imported from North Korea, keening and crying over the political demise of Jon Huntsman.
Huntsman had had the Morning Joe crowd from hello. The overwhelming winner of the bien-pensant MSM primary was amazingly popular—except with actual Republican voters, who didn't dig his moderate positioning and a tone that some found . . . well, how do you say "supercilious" in Mandarin? Taking today's cake was Joe Scarborough finding Huntsman's "moderate temperament" Reaganesque, and claiming that in rejecting Huntsman, Republicans have "turned their backs" on Ronald Reagan.

Scarborough says that in rejecting Huntsman, Republicans have “turned their back” on Reagan, who also had a “moderate temperament.” Guaranteed engine-starter ping to Today show list.

So we turned our backs on this "Reagan" guy, who dropped out so RINO Romney had a better chance of winning?
Works for me!

Think Reagan would’ve written a love letter to Carter? Huntsman wrote one to barry.. Conservative? Not..

As I recall, Scarboro played guitar in a rock band and Huntsman played keyboards in a rock band. Scarboro is just pissed because he won’t get to jam with him..
To: Old Teufel Hunden
And Scarboro is ticked because the only network that would hire him is MSLSD.

First Palin, then Perry, then Newt, now Huntsman, all characterized as Reagans by those ga-ga over them. This isn’t even funny anymore.

The Dems have turned their backs on Kennedy, Truman, Roosevelt.

No Joe, we have only rejected Huntsman and your judgement along with him.
