Scarborough announces he's leaving the GOP

[misanthrope]

13. It's just another ploy with an eye toward marketing

He's playing both sides off against the middle. He has ratings to consider.

His appearance tonight on Colbert was sickening. He and Mika are fully utilizing their new public relations bonanza to its fullest. They sounded like the same vacuous pair they do on their own show.

Twice I saw Mika look at Joe to make sure she could take the opportunity to answer a question.

When Colbert tried to pin them down on their comments that Trump had "changed" recently, Scarborough tried to gish gallop him. He still sounded flimsy in trying to justify it.

I was disappointed Colbert didn't bring up their enabling of and collusion with Trump through the campaign.
Scarborough qualified his GOP "departure" with assurance he would still champion Republican principles regarding the market, taxes and regulation.

It was also obvious the interview was heavily edited. No doubt it was to fit it into the time slot but what exactly was cut out? Was it the morning show duo floundering for answers and wasting time in doing so?

Then to close the show out, Colbert had the media personality and former congressman perform a song with his new band, a combo whose name is simply Scarborough.

All in all, it was pretty disappointing.
