Joe Scarborough: "Michele Bachmann is a joke"

[^_^ 5,021]

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Michele Bachmann's first answer, Mark Halperin, was "I wish the federal government had defaulted." Had defaulted, a week after Americans had lost--some of them perhaps lost half of their pensions. Lost half of their 401(k)s, when trillions of dollars went down the drain [pounds the table] with Americans suffering, she said that and got applause, and if anybody thinks that guys like my dad are going to be voting that way when this rolls out of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina, in the early stages, and really gets going, they are out of their mind and they are too stupid not only to prognosticate, they are too stupid to run Slurpee machines in Des Moines. I'll let you go now. I got it off my chest.

Michele Bachmann is a joke. She is a joke. And now I will pass it on to you. Her answer is a joke, her candidacy is a joke, and anybody that sits here and says she has any chance of winning anything is out of their mind. Take your straw poll, take your caucus, but Iowa, if you let her win, you prove your irrelevance once again.

She will be nominated.

She will be nominated.

You really see her beating Perry?

I tend to think Perry is pretty much unbeatable in a GOP primary. They love their Texans.

Perry is a Republican governor from Texas. It wouldn't be too hard to cast him as George W Bush 2.0.

Except much of the electorate no longer remembers why they soured on GWB.

Romney will win the GOP nomination by a landslide.

What?????? How? He's Mormon and the big money is lining up behind Perry while the big crazies are lining up behind Bachmann. You need one or the other to win.

Don't worry, Mitt is taking care of that by appeasing the angry white mob. He's willing to say and do whatever it takes to win.

Please. Romney doesn't stand for anything. He changes positions like a porn star. He will literally be whatever he thinks the voters want him to be.

The mark of a true politician - to be able to appease everyone at once. I think Abe Lincoln talked about this phenomenon.

People are tired of true politicians. They want hope and change.

Perry is GWB without a brain. He'll make it far.

Maybe I'm becoming cynical, but I'm not sure people really know what they want out of government. They respond better to the packaging than the product.

I blame the hippies for ruining education in this country.
