Friday morning, America and the world will say goodbye to Nancy Reagan in California. But Tuesday, it was Michigan and Mississippi that may have signaled the end of Ronald Reagan’s fabled coalition that ruled Republican politics for 40 years.
After absorbing a brutal wave of attacks from the GOP establishment, including a nasty broadside from Mitt Romney, a thrice-married Manhattan billionaire who once loyally supported Hillary Clinton and who continues to lavish praise on Planned Parenthood swept to victory Tuesday night. Donald Trump easily won the night on the strength of a working-class coalition that included evangelicals in Mississippi and Reagan Democrats across Michigan. These are the same working-class voters who feel abandoned by their president, by their government and by the Republican Party.
Bible-toting Sen. Ted Cruz should have won Mississippi. Ohio Gov. John Kasich should have won nearby Michigan. Sen. Marco Rubio should have finished as a runner-up somewhere, anywhere.
Instead, Rubio and rest of the GOP field were left watching in horror as Trump crushed all comers at the polls and then used his victory speech to hawk steaks, wine and the most fabulous magazines you will ever read.
So long to Morning in America. Say hello to Tuesday Nights at QVC.
Trump’s big wins in Michigan and Mississippi were not the worst news of the night for the GOP ruling class. Instead, that dubious distinction was saved for the complete collapse of Rubio’s campaign one week before Florida’s crucial primary. For Republican leaders, Rubio’s timing could not have been

make of this what you will...sounds kinda confused but posting for informational purposes only and a few laughs too :)
What a f*cking stooge.
Bezos must be paying him a lot for this hysterical ranting.
He’s trying real hard to get attention, that’s for sure.
Hey Joe, realignments happen. Reagan represented one four decades ago. Trump probably represents another one taking place now. There’s nothing you can do to stop it.
Too little too late Joe, people like you who went along with the Reagan is gone banter are
responsible
When Reagan was president we had factories and manufacturing in America. Chrysler was an American owned company still. My dad still has a Zenith TV set he bought from the Reagan era - made in the USA in his garage shop.
I’ve watched his show occasionally here and there for years. I know a lot of freepers have said Joe was in the tank for Trump, but Joe always treats all his guests with relative kid gloves, so I never put much stock in the accusation. He’s a beltway guy and he knows how to get people to do his show: make it an easy, softball experience.
Guess now we know how he really feels. LOL
Sheeeeyit. If Reagan's fabled coalition ruled Republican politics for 40 years we wouldn't be 20 trillion dollars in debt.
Did they ever get to the bottom of that dead staffer found in Joe’s office?
Newsflash, Scarborough: it hasn't been Reagan's proud Republican party since Newt resigned as speaker.
Ronald Reagan’s Republican Party has been trashed by two-timing back-dealing insiders who have infested it and have totally trashed the brand since Reagan left office.
Trump is just the end-product reaction.
Trump is the founders brash Patrick Henry and the ‘America first’ Reagan. Many folks just don’t get it while the elites ‘get it’ but lie about it, trying to hide their globalism.
Just a few days before her death, Nancy Reagan endorsed Trump.
'Who was the dead female intern found dead in Joe Scarborough's congressional district office, July 20, 2001.
Alex, Who is Lori Klausutis.
Unfortunately, during those same 40 years, the republican party has become infested with neo-con-artists, and their open borders toadies. They are the promoters, and financiers of the #nevertrump crowd, because they fear that a man who doesn’t have to crawl to them and beg for their money is someone who might not listen to them when they inevitably start howling for another war in the Middle East, and might disrupt their plans to flood the country with more 3rd world invaders.
And Joe thinks he’s important?
He's an American and he loves his country.
He's not 'owned' by anybody
He's not a Washington insider or an establishment politician
He's an astonishingly successful businessman, CEO- and charismatic.
His remarkable children are a testament to his character and abilities
Donald Trump was the ONLY one with guts enough to stand up to the corrupt in Washington, to say what we the people have been screaming about-but have been ignored.
We all say we need another revolution against the corrupt government. Well, it's here and Donald started it. He tells the RINOS and Libs what we cannot. HE IS OUR VOICE .
He is a brilliant business man and he will surround himself with the most brilliant, talented America has to offer-per his cabinet and advisers. This is the kind of man we need to run the country.
He Will make America great again. He will make America RESPECTED again.
He WILL put up the wall.
He WILL put a stop to the Muslim invasion of America.
He WILL remedy the illegal alien problem
He CAN make America great again
He CAN make America RESPECTED again.
He will keep his promises. He does not want to sully the Trump name, but to glorify it and go down in history as one of our greats
The revolution many of you have wanted and predicted because we are so angry at the corrupt government is here. It was started and is being led by Donald. Don’t let him down
Research Cruz' record. This is NOT what we need in the WH:
CRUZ WANTS TO CUT SENIOR'S SOCIAL SECURITY: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/01/31/this-presidential-candidate-wants-to-cut-social-se.aspx
Alumni, roommates, law clerks, former staffers in the George W. Bush campaign and White House (and the president himself), members of Congress and others who have known Cruz — lots and lots of people — consider him socially awkward, nasty, dishonest. httpest, a blatant apple-polisher and all-around creepy guy. You can write off a few of these critics as jealous of his success, or liberal antagonists, but all of them? There is something badly amiss here. Cruz, who so obviously lacks emotional intelligence, cannot recognize it, but those closest to him surely must see that something is awry...
OFTEN DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE JOB HE WAS ELECTED TO DO: .
Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes. Ted Cruz came to Washington two-and-a-half years ago pledging to be the anti-senator. But he's been more like the no-show senator. The Texas Republican seriously lags most of his colleagues in attending hearings and casting votes in what has been a Senate career long on rhetoric and short on Senate business. He's skipped the vast majority of Armed Services Committee hearings, is below-average in attendance on his other major committees and ranks 97th during the first three months of this year in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. ... -Read more: Ted Cruz the senator: Heard but not seen http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/ted-cruz-2016-senate-vote-record-117201
One of the things Cruz would like you to forget: His father fought along side Fidel Castro Research reveals his associates and former associates refer to him as a liar, ‘oily’, player of dirty tricks, a ‘suck up’ untrustworthy and worse.
Cruz is NOT an American, but born in Canada

On the contrary; I think he promotes it.
