Joe Scarborough: 'Trump won't run in 2020'


Trump won’t run in 2020

By Joe Scarborough
April 20

It is true that GOP leaders stand silent as President Trump trashes the rule of law, attacks federal judges and declares America’s free press the “enemy of the people.” These lap dogs shame the memory of the first Republican president — who gave his life ending slavery — by marching alongside a bumbling bigot who labels Hispanics “breeders” and “rapists,” seeks to bar tens of millions of Muslims from entering the country, and defends white supremacy in the ugly aftermath of Charlottesville.

And yet these same morally enfeebled enablers have become muted when asked whether they’ll support their fearless leader’s reelection bid.

“Look, I’m focused on opioids,” muttered Tennessee’s Lamar Alexander, suggesting that a U.S. senator is not mentally adept enough to fight a drug epidemic while also figuring out whether he backs a president in his own party.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (Tex.) refused to answer, explaining that he had not given the question much thought because things could change in the time before the 2020 campaign revs up.

Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Corker (Tenn.) spent four days grasping for an answer to a question he called “unfair” before finally saying he didn’t want to “make news.” Other GOP lawmakers are no more eager to talk about the 2020 campaign than Trump himself wants to discuss the intricacies of Stormy Daniels’s lawsuit.

But while the president and his team of misfit lawyers have reason to tread carefully under stormy legal skies, it’s becoming clear that Trump will not be running for president in 2020.

This past week, White House office pools reportedly set up in anticipation of the next staff firing are shifting their focus to predicting which Trump family member will be the first to land behind bars. The U.S. attorney’s raid of Michael Cohen’s home, office and hotel room has stirred more fear and loathing inside White House offices than at any time since President Richard Nixon battled Watergate prosecutors in the summer of 1973.

Across the country, Republicans are sensing the president is a wounded political figure, leading them to withhold their future support or — in one high-profile case — to challenge the president directly.

After former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, announced last Sunday that the United States would impose additional sanctions against Russia and President Vladimir Putin, the president went behind his ambassador’s back to assure the Russians he would kill any future sanctions. Other White House officials described her remarks as “confused.”

With nine words, “With all due respect, I do not get confused,” the ambassador declared that she would not allow herself to be humiliated by a political day trader.

How wonderful would it be for our daughters to see this woman — this daughter of immigrants — take a debate stage to coldly cut the Donald down to size, revealing to the world once and for all that this bloated emperor has no clothes?

so a woman in Trump's cabin is the only one to standing up to Trump. If she's fired there's sure to be a backlash.

on a quieter note more women are signing up to run for office than ever before. The exception is women running as republicans, the number in woman has dropped. That's very telling.

Government in the US has progressively become ever more a screwed up stampede.

Over 400 women are running for office, the majority are democrats and a high number of first timers. Pissed off women is never a good sign for certain other persons you can only take it so long and we have been extremely (as usual) patient, some should learn by history what happens when there is a strong women's movement or any this strong by a minority, !@#$ happens.
