34. I hate giving points to scarborough

but he nailed it here:

"But as he has shown on the campaign trail all year, Rick Santorum has absolutely no discipline when it comes to tempering his message."


that's it: he has no discipline. You can see it when you watch (not listen; turn down the volume and just observe him) him get taken by his own hubris and nonsense. He's combative, argumentative, childish; he lashes out when he should be tightening down and holding firm; he gets snarky and snarly when he's made to defend his statements; he lies with abandon and then get mad when he's called out on it--doubling down on his lies.

as far as the rest of the article, scarborough is just engaging in fantasy talk. The gop ain't competitive, not with this knot of harebrains they're running this election cycle.
