#NRISummit: Scarborough 2016?
Posted on | January 26, 2013 | 36 Comments
Joe Scarborough exits the National Review Institute Summit
Strange to say, on the “What’s Wrong With the Right?” panel this morning — which included Reihan Salam, Bill Kristol, Yuval Levin, John Podhoretz and Ross Douthat — the most stubbornly outspoken opponent of “big government Republicans” was MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
Scarborough said that George W. Bush’s big-government measures “completely muddied the brand” of the Republican Party, and he was applauded by many of the 700 people attending the National Review Institute Summit at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Was this the start of a 2016 presidential campaign for the former Florida congressman who has become the token Republican host on liberal-leaning MSNBC? Last fall, Scarborough dismissed reports that he was considering such a campaign, saying he has “the best job in the world” and “no desire to leave.” But one veteran political observer noted the contrast between Scarborough’s engagement with the audience and the more aloof intellectuals on the panel: “That’s the politician in him.”

Any conservative who trusts Joe Scarborough is bat shit crazy. In fact, this would make a great BSC post linked to this post.
January 26th, 2013 @ 12:57 pm
I am going to state what should be obvious to all of us: Any conservative who trusts Joe Scarborough is BSC
January 26th, 2013 @ 12:59 pm
Sorry Dick, you sucked when you were alive. And I am talking about your big government expansions and market interventions that did not work.
January 26th, 2013 @ 1:02 pm
I’ve learned by watching the results of my successors … no more! Small government, big individual liberties!
January 26th, 2013 @ 1:04 pm
Insanity. Dead congressional aid Klausutis, infidelity, etc. Any serious consideration of him is yet another recipe for disaster.
January 26th, 2013 @ 1:48 pm
Glad to find out that Zombie Nixon can learn from his mistakes.
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:09 pm
I don’t think Scarborough would be on that show if he were a real conservative. The reason he’s there is to badmouth conservatives while pretending to be one. That’s what they call balance.
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:12 pm
If the Republican Party even contemplates this…. then I will puke and come to the realization that the Republican Party is nothing but a big stinking pile of cow crap and the people advising Americans to move to sunnier, more tax friendly countries are absolutely right and its time to pack.
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:16 pm
Say, I like the cut of his GBLT.
I sure do hope he’s the standard bearer for the Republican party. That way, you’d know.
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:22 pm
Scarborough 2016????
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha….. [cough]
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:30 pm
That pic may very well be the first time I’ve ever seen his face.
Reminds me of Dan Fielding on “Night Court.”
January 26th, 2013 @ 2:34 pm
This guy is an asshat who loathes the tea party and anything having to do with true conservatism. He makes Bill Kristol look like a right wing nutjob. If he resembled a conservative today, it was nothing but a put-on. He shouldn’t even be at that summit.
January 26th, 2013 @ 4:09 pm
Nice touch with the cough.
January 26th, 2013 @ 4:29 pm
Lots of things grow after death, fingernails, hair … and understanding.

If nominating the grandfather of Obamacare didn’t clue you in, I’m not sure anything will.

Ah yes, time to pack but pack light, more importantly start packing.
January 26th, 2013 @ 8:18 pm
You have got to be joking? If anybody thinks Joe is the answer to the eGOP’s problems then weed must have been legalized in more places than Colorado and Washington state!
But, I guess the eGOP need to find another designated loser and you can never start too early…
January 26th, 2013 @ 8:34 pm
I can’t believe any Republican would trust Traitor Joe. He helped get BO elected along w/ BFF Matthews and Maddox.

That particular group of conservatives are desperate and pathetic. They refuse to see just how serious the situation is. They refuse to grasp, for whatever reason, that the Left – and those on the Right who give them legitimacy – are seeking nothing less than to destroy everything America stands for.
January 27th, 2013 @ 5:47 pm
Reminds me of many a blowhard I’ve met at a bar.
January 27th, 2013 @ 5:48 pm
No…not until Instapundit rejects being a Libertarian [ie: an Ideologue]. We’ve had four years of one.

[…] And note the headline (and corresponding URL) of the MSNBC story: “Emotional father of Sandy Hook victim heckled by gun nuts.” The story wasn’t written by Joe Scarborough, but it appears on his “Morning Joe” blog — the man whom MSNBC (and this past weekend, National Review, sadly) touts as MSNBC’s lone “conservative” host.
