Veepstakes: Scarborough Politely Trashes Pence, Makes Case for Christie
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/14/2016 7:05:25 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough couldn’t have been kinder as he put the shiv into Mike Pence this morning. The opening segment of Morning Joe was devoted to the veepstakes, and Scarborough politely trashed Pence while making the case for Chris Christie.

Scarborough went out of his way to praise Pence as an “able leader” and someone he likes. But he proceeded to say that Pence wasn’t “ready for prime time.” Joe broke out the deer-in-headlights metaphor and analogized Pence to previous running-mate “disasters.” On the other hand, Joe argued that Christie is someone who has been on the national stage, capable of destroying Marco Rubio with one debate, and who is best equipped to prosecute the case against Hillary Clinton.

Whether or not you like Christie, I think Scarborough made a persuasive case against Pence.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

If Trump picks Christie, he will lose to Hillary.

Why so much attention to what Deliverance Banjo Boy and Zika Brainfreezeki think?

Reverse these comments and apply them to Christie.

The only thing that Christie has going for him - the ONLY thing - is his truculent attitude towards the press. He is otherwise nearly a democrat.

I think the alleged destruction of Rubio in one debate segment is highly overrated.

It’s my morning beat. I find the show interesting, and with its three-hour format guests are given the ability to speak at length rather than in soundbites.

The establishment is screaming for an establishment candidate. They remind me of hysterical children who are not getting their way.

And in New Jersey, the liberals here call him the Tea Party candidate

Seriously, they do

He dared went up against the Teacher’s Union and won.

That is what the Christie hate is about

Who would be a non-establishment pick that you’d like?

Christie would be a horrible choice. I’m gonna predict Pence, but I think Newt would be better. Newt would wipe the debate floor with Hitlery’s VP.

...Why so much attention to what Deliverance Banjo Boy and Zika Brainfreezeki think?...

Why? Because they're thoughts leaders:

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Scarborough was trashing trump. Does anybody care what he really thinks?

The mainstream media wants Christie so they can keep pushing Bridgegate. If Trump chooses Pence, I’ll accept that. What a laugh, saying Pence not ready for prime time. No one was more unready for prime time than the community organizer.
