Joe Scarborough Rails Against Hillary: 'She's A Robot'

[Cali_Democrat]

By DANIEL STRAUSS

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough went on a bit of a rant on Monday saying that Hillary Clinton has been too much of a "robot" as she hints plans to run for President in 2016. Scarborough, in a tangent on Morning Joe, said politicians like Clinton need to stop teasing out whether they're going to run for President and just say so.

"What Hillary Clinton has done over the past year or so is why Americans hate politics…It just is…You're secretary of State," Scarborough said. "You play it safe. You then write a book. You say absolutely nothing. You go around on a glorified book tour where you say absolutely nothing, you want people to ask you to run for President so you can say 'we're not running for President, we don't know yet.'

<...>

"Like —no creativity, no spontaneity, nothing from the heart. This is Hillary Clinton's problem for people that know her and like her, like I know her and like her. But she puts on that political hat and then she's a robot," Scarborough said. "And she goes through the motions, she doesn't ever reveal herself, she didn't do it against Barack Obama, that's why she lost in 2008. And it wasn't against her back was against the wall that she had to stop acting like a robot on the campaign trail and start acting like herself that she started winning."

1. Yeah!! No string of divorces or a dead employee in HER office!!! Harrrumph!!

What a "robot!"

Why anyone listens to that pig-eyed turdboy is beyond me.

2. ^ uh huh

[monmouth3]

3. I heard that this morning and gasped at the thought of my saying to myself.."He's right." He was

very good and made the point that so many are having a hard time and this pussy-footing around whether you're going to run or not is just plain stupid. "Either say you're running or get out of the way." It was good...

4. Has anyone said they are running? Why is Hillary held to a higher standard?

Once she says she is campaigning, lots of federal laws go into effect. It would be stupid to say she is running this early.

[underpants]

5. So Mr. Seasoned political observer, who loves football analogies, thinks a not yet declared

Candidate should go running around hair-on-fire spewing BS and making an ass of themselves (ala Cruz and Paul) AND provide material for all future opposing campaigns to use against them?

Gee Joe, as an analogy/comparison, let's say your beloved Alabama football team has a big lead in a game. Do you recommend that they keeping flinging ball around or run it, kill the clock, and seal the win?

F'ing hack.

6. yeah

Then when she shows emotion she is called weak. If she smiles, she is faking. If she laughs she's cackling.

FFS give it a rest.

7. Jeez, was he pooping his pants?

Most idiotic rant I've heard in a while.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Joe Scarborough should get it together, Hillary has already said she would make her announcement

after the first of the year 2015. I know he would like to be the first to announce she is running but he needs to wait until the time has come. He was on a roll this morning but I think he was more into knowing if Jeb was going to run than Hillary but he used more time than necessary and did not address Jeb as much as he used Hillary's name.

11. As far as I know, she never murdered an intern...

So she's one up on him.
