Scarborough: DeSantis Is 'All Hat, No Cattle,' Bad Retail Politician (Who Won by 19 Points)
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/14/2022 10:10:55 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough's split political personality was on glaring display on today's Morning Joe.

On the one hand, there was Scarborough's seething hatred of Donald Trump. The clip begins with Scarborough shouting: "he's guilty! He's guilty!" Scarborough also offered a relatively objective take that Ron DeSantis' brand of politics could be the winning formula for Republicans in 2024.

But heaven forbid that Scarborough should say too many positive things about a potential 2024 Republican presidential contender. And thus Joe was obliged to balance his praise for the DeSantis brand by taking some serious shots at the Florida governor.

Scarborough alleged that DeSantis is "all hat, no cattle," i.e. someone who talks big but doesn't carry through on his positions. Joe also downplayed the significance of DeSantis' overwhelming victory, claiming that "He was running against nobody. He was playing against the Washington Generals [Harlem Globetrotters reference]. The Democratic party in the state of Florida is dead."

Did he run this by Chuck “U” Schumer?

I agree with Joe that the Democrat Party in Florida is dead but he might want to honestly answer the question: Who put it out of its misery?

I'm always concerned that a candidate could have some issue arise in a national campaign that hadn't emerged in earlier campaigns. I like DeSantis if Trump doesn't run but there are others I would consider. I'm becoming more and more fond of Rand Paul.

Hi.

I hope you are doing well.

I don’t know for sure that Joe Scarborough murdered his intern, but I would wager on manslaughter one.

5.56mm

“First we screw Trump, then we screw DeSantis.”

That’s how these people roll.

Morning Joe’s only experience with cattle was on a dude ranch vacation where he did as he was told to try to milk a bull.

In the hospital for a month. “I just couldn’t get the bull to cooperate.”

Sure, Joe. DeSantis is a mediocre politician. The kind that wins in a former swing state by 19 points.

DeSantis put the 'fear of God' into democrat fraudsters by arresting a few folks shortly before the election on voter fraud - Florida's liberal papers were more than happy to spread the word by condemning DeSantis ... If DeSantis hadn't done that Democrats would have done their usual. And the election would have been much closer - or DeSantis could have lost.

Scarborough has about as much credibility on political
dynamics, as a four year old on a playground somewhere within
our nation.
