Senate GOP Trying to Recruit MSNBC’s Token RINO Joe Scarborough to Run Against Bill Nelson in Florida…
No effen RINOs. I guess we didn’t make ourselves clear enough last November.
Republicans in Washington are trying to recruit Joe Scarborough to run against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) next year.
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told The Hill on Thursday that he has talked to Scarborough a couple times about a Senate bid. And he indicated he’s still working on persuading the MSNBC host to run for the upper chamber.
“I’d be delighted to talk to him a third time,” Cornyn said.
In 2005, Republican campaign operatives tried to get Scarborough to challenge Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) in the Senate GOP primary. Scarborough passed, and Nelson subsequently trounced Harris in the midterm elections.
Cornyn noted on Thursday that Scarborough’s name ID is higher now than it was back then. Scarborough has been with MSNBC for the past eight years, initially hosting “Scarborough Country” and now “Morning Joe.”

Scarborough would be running as a Republican? Be better if he primaried Nelson and an actual Republican a chance to beat his ass.
Good lord, the RNC didn’t learn a damn thing in November! This is why the RNC needs to be destroyed along with the DNC; too many Ivy League elites in both parties who are nothing more than fraternity brothers running the same Ponzi scheme on us.
I think he had pretty strong name recognition when he left office……..on account of that dead female intern.
What was her name? Lori Klausutis?
.
I think you mean BILL Nelson. Ben’s the jackass from Nebraska who got the Cornhusker Kickback for voting for ObamaCare. Bill’s just your average, everyday RINO.
I said this back before November, and i will say it again now, NOTHING will change in Washinton until we get every last incumbent/career politician out of office!
They called me a couple of weeks ago for a donation. I told them they have to prove themselves before I’ll donate again. I’ll donate to Senator DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund. I made the right choice. I think just about every incumbent needs to be removed, with a couple of exceptions.
**face palm**
I’ve listened to Joe Scarborough. He’s no conservative; he’s center-left jackass.
I’d rather have Charlie Sheen.
Face-Palm Supreme. These RNC assholes appear to be refractory to clue acquisition.
How about Scarborough running against Cornyn! It would be one RINO against another.
fuck no!
WAKE-UP CALL!
Are you idiots out of your freakin’ minds!!!!
NO WAY- NO HOW!
Color me furious.
…and they wonder why there is a Tea Party and NO money coming into their coffers like there used to be from us ‘common folks’..Stick it Where the Sun Doesn’t Shine!
I just want Nelson gone. We had a warm (don’t want to say heated) email exchange a couple years ago about global warming. I figured I won when his last email said we will just agree to disagree.
I asked him if he left his brain in orbit when he went up in the Space Shuttle.
Scumborough/mcCain!!!!! A winning ticket!!
Maybe they can get Kathleen Parker to run for Senator.
How about Janet Reno? She’s alive isn’t she and living in Florida. She’s got about the same Conservative core as Scarborough.
If she’s dead just run Lawton Chiles; if he’s dead run Chelsea Clinton….can’t get more moderate Republican than that.
Sweet Jesus.
What? Not renominating Charlie Crist?
I agree entirely with thestruggler: Charlie Sheen would be better than Joe Scarborough. (And I don’t support Charlie Sheen — he’s also too liberal/nuts…)
.
Someone please call the Tea Party or iCaucus Florida branches. The GOP is officially brain dead. Joe Biden-brain dead.
If you wanna see how far the looney left has come with this guy and ” MSGOP” yeah that’s what the left called it back in 2003 . There is a disccussion on Moore and Scarboros dead aide.

This guy is beyond Rino- he’s a stupid as Sheila grape ape Lee
How is it possible that Sen. Cornyn could be so out of touch to consider such an asploding career ending proposition. April Fools Day is a month and half from now so this just reeks of incredible stupidity. This is the reason the RNC couldn’t raise funds, now we see the NRSC is in the hands of Asshats.
Can’t wait to send Cornyn’s sorry ass packing either.
Lets nominate Luther R. Campbell from 2Live Crew, don’t have to worry about any skeletons in the closet.

These A*holes won’t change! Once they get the vote, they think that it was because they deserved it, and not just because they were the lesser of two evils. Term limits is the only answer to their perfidy. The sooner, the better. That way, just as soon as they are learning the job, they will be replaced! Then they would have to live under the laws that they just wrote, like the rest of us. You can be sure that they would be very careful of what bills they passed knowing that they would be affected by them, as soon as they came back with the rest of us sheeple!
They can’t be this stupid!
If they try it, we’ll have Rubio/Crist all over again.
Cornyn and his NRSC endorsed and funded Specter, he took their money and switched parties. They endorsed Crist, he promptly switched parties, again after getting money. They endorsed Trey Grayson in KY, Rand Paul promptly beat him. These clowns couldn’t pick a winner if it was a race of one.
You’re right Zip. There is a new game in town. If these Repubs don’t take the message, they will be out of power one way or the other.
I don’t know much about Cornyn or Florida politics but I have watched Morning Blow. He should be the posterboy for RINO. If he ever was a conservative he sold his soul for a paycheck at Amessnbc.
joe scarb is a communist bastard who hates america and loves muslim scum
Welcome to today’s meeting of Cornyn Anonymous
Hi, my name is Blacksmith8 and I voted for Cornyn.
But honestly, it was a moment of weakness. I didn’t know what I was doing. He talked fancy to me.
The truth folks, is we thought MAYYYYBEEEE old John was HALF the man DeMint or Coburn are. Instead we got the conservative until after reelection version of McShamenasty.
You gotta admit, we don’t make mistakes down here very often. When we do, they’re awful.
The GOP did learn from November 2010. What they learned is they must defeat those who would save this country, eg the Tea Party.
As much as I despise Nelson, I’d rather keep him than end up with Joe the freakin’ RINO. As least with Nelson, we know what we’re getting. Folks, if this is the best the GOP can do, turn out the lights, the party’s over.
That would be like asking Bill O’Reilly to run as a Republican. Has anyone listened to this guy lately? He’s running to the center faster than Clinton did. Used to watch him all the time, just can’t do it anymore. I believe BOR and Morning Joe are cut from the same cloth.
I knew Joe when he was a Congressperson. Self-promoter. Nothing more, nothing less. Yes, he could run a competent campaign.
No, he is not a conservative.
Joe drank lots of the “we got elected we’re speshul” Kool-Aid during his two terms.
