Scarborough Warns 2020 Dems: Listen to Trump El Paso Speech and Realize You Have 'Uphill Battle'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/12/2019 9:33:24 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Don't get Joe Scarborough wrong: he detests Donald Trump as much as ever, and will surely do whatever he can to help defeat him in 2020. But in a triumph of realism over desire, on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough warned Democrats that beating Trump won't be easy.

As evidence of the daunting task facing Dems hoping to take Trump down, Scarborough urged Dems to listen to the "strong" closing segment of President Trump's speech in El Paso last night.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: There was a closing argument, and whoever wrote it, wrote a strong closing argument. And any Democrat that thinks they're going to cakewalk to beating Donald Trump in 2020, like they thought in 2016, and like everybody in the press thought in 2016, you need to watch the last four or five minutes of his speech and understand: Democrats have an uphill battle here. It's not going to be easy.

Wow! Scarborough tells Dems to listen to strong close of Trump speech in El Paso, and warns Dems 2020 will be an “uphill battle.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I thought he specialized in calling the President “stupid,” and “mentally ill.” What happened to that?

Sounds to me like they need a wider field of participants looking to win the nom at the dnc convention. Maybe john k-sick or flakey jeff could toss their panties in the ring.

That strong finish includes this odd hand gesture.
It’s causing quite the buzz on twitter.

scarborough is doing his usual putdown by implying President Trump did not write it.

His primary audience, North Korean Generals, got word to him that Lil Kim would have a word with him if he kept after DJT and that screwed up the talks with Kim. So java joe relented

....once again, I think, the writing is on the wall for the Democrats. To wit, Beto gets 65 people to his rally. Trump pulls 35,000 most of whom stand outside in the cold.

In 2016, the Democrats and their partners in MSM ignored the disparity in rally’s to their utter failure.

Presidents seldom write their own speeches.

“Beto gets 65 people to his rally.”

Oh, no. According to the Fox News reporter last night, there were “THOUSANDS in line” for Beto’s rally. ha ha ha

I don’t see anything different in this closing than any of his rallies other than his energy was higher than I’d seen in awhile.

For the past 2 years delusional Joe and his dim bride have assured the nation that Trump is going to be impeached for collusion before the next election. What happened to that?
