Scarborough: I'm Not Voting for Trump!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/18/2016 6:02:57 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough flatly stated that people that know him, as in his family, know whom he's voting for, and "it's not Donald Trump!" That's newsworthy because Scarborough has been accused by many, as here, here and here, of being in the tank for Trump.

Clashing with Time's Joe Klein, Scarborough said that, while not supporting Trump, he and Mika Brzezinski have simply been making the case that for months, the media have been "dead wrong" about Trump in constantly predicting his imminent demise. Klein, meanwhile, paid a very backhanded compliment to Trump. According to Klein, Trump has a "highly developed lizard brain" and a "feral intelligence," while knowing nothing about policy. Klein added that Trump reminds him of "the Emperor Caligula who got his greatest pleasure from destroying his opponents and humiliating them."

Hey Joe hang on to your butt because there goes your ratings. Nice ride while it lasted. Talk about being self destructive.

Trump is going to be politically isolated. Most real conservatives (like 90%) and real liberals won’t want him, and the number of independents will come down to the ones who like the way he insults people.

He does seem to have that idiosyncrasy. Seems to delight in it.

You are making up what you think are your own facts. If so what is Trump leading in all the polls.

He isn’t leading in polls against Democrats. He’s leading in polls against 6 and 7 other Republicans. That’s a lot different.

Lizard Brain?

The limbic system of the brain has been implicated as the seat of emotion, addiction, mood, and lots of other mental and emotional processes. It is the part of the brain that is phylogenetically very primitive. Many people call it "The Lizard Brain" because the limbic system is about all a lizard has for brain function. It is in charge of fight, flight, feeding, fear, freezing-up, and fornication.

according to the vast majority of polls taken most evangelicals and “real Conservatives” are for Trump more than Cruz

Would you marry just to marry knowing the person is going to cheat on you? I want to win, and we will win if we don’t put up a very obviously flawed candidate. It is telling that Trump supporters insist we not consider Trump’s words, his character, his actions, or his values past and present. They insist on the dreamy person that is selling himself a new product, a new brand, not the real product. Most people outside of Trump’s target audience are not going to ignore his words, his deeds, his character, and, frankly his orange-colored skin.

What if Trump gets the nomination. Will he vote for him, vote Democrat or sit it out?
