Joe Scarborough: 'Fox News has just walked into the biggest Donald Trump trap'

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has offered a fairly passionate defense of Donald Trump's decision to skip this Thursday's Fox News Republican presidential debate.
Scarborough on Wednesday repeatedly supported Trump's claim that Fox host Megyn Kelly, one of the debate's moderators, was biased against Trump's presidential campaign.

At one point, Scarborough played a short highlight reel of Kelly's sharper words for Trump and for the media — including Scarborough's "Morning Joe" — regarding some of its relentless Trump coverage.

"That is just good, unbiased journalism," Scarborough said, sarcastically. "And if I were a candidate, I certainly would want that person asking me questions in a fair and a balanced way."

He added: "No, actually, as I said before, I would rather set myself on fire in front of the Fox News news studio than go on the debate stage with that."

Scarborough, a former Republican congressman whose show competes daily against Fox News, further argued that Fox chief Roger Ailes had made a mistake by standing so firmly against Trump.

Trump has repeatedly suggested Kelly would be unfair to him at the Thursday-night event. Fox dismissed Trump's criticism as unfounded and said Kelly would remain one of the three moderators of its debate.

After the network mocked Trump for polling his Twitter followers about whether he should go to the debate, given Kelly's alleged bias, the Republican front-runner announced he would boycott it.

"He's ahead by 20, 30 points. He's probably going to be the front-runner," Scarborough said at another point in his show. "And when you know that Fox News' viewers tend to trend older and white and male — and Donald Trump's most ardent supporters are older and white and male — is one anchor worth splitting the network's audience right down the middle?"

Joe has MONTHLY mental, and physical problems. Fitting for a wannabe Male.

look who Megyn Kelly invites on her show to help slam Trump



500 pounds of pure pork shit

Tonight, Donald Trump’s months-long war with Fox News entered a chaotic and — for both sides — perilous new phase when Trump called Roger Ailes’s bluff and announced he was boycotting Fox’s debate to protest Megyn Kelly’s aggressive coverage of his campaign. Instead, Trump said he would host his own Iowa town hall to raise money for veterans and let other networks cover it.

One clear sign of the gravity of tonight’s development is the sense of confusion that is swirling throughout Fox. The network is split between Kelly’s allies like Brit Hume and conservative anchors that are furious that Kelly — who graces the cover of Vanity Fair this month — has become the face of the network. An anchor fumed that Kelly hosted Michael Moore on her program tonight and the lefty filmmaker defended her against Trump.

“That would be like Rachel Maddow laughing along with Charles Koch as he trashed Hillary Clinton!” the anchor said. One producer speculated that Fox could go “National Review” on Trump and start attacking him.

They are both asswipes. He shouldn't have skipped the debate, though. Assuming he's skipping it.

Oh and Michael Moore is a fat disgusting piece of shit.

I could not agree more. And she treated moore like she should treat Trump. She is an absolute bitch

Doesn't Joe WHo-the-f-ever wish I knew and or cared who he is?

Just more proof that they were setting up another ambush on Trump.-Tyr

Joe was only the messenger my friend, the post was the message.
I am not trying to change your mind on your judgment on Trump as thats your business.
I am putting information out here for all to see , then each can make their own judgment on it.-Tyr

Not sure if the mystery was realistic or not, but in case:

-----

Could a Trump supporter tell me what exactly they think Kelly will ask that will be so horrific, or will make Donald look bad?

Or are hard questions not supposed to be asked of the Donald.
As Gunny said if you're the top dog you're going to get some flax. (or something like that)

But at this point it really has become a weirdo circus. ALL other voices are completely drowned out by the Trump Fox noise machine. the other candidates and the real issues are not even in the air.

this is a PR win for Trump and FOX. it is a true reality show.
(almost makes you wonder if it's scripted like reality shows are)

Look, I don't really care about Trump. That's maybe where I have an edge up. I don't like Trump as a Presidential candidate, nor do I like him shearing the GOP in half. Nobody's going to change my mind on that. It's cause and effect, and to an analytical mind, rather obvious.

IF he ends up the GOP candidate I'll be in line voting against the Dems just as I always do. That doesn't mean I have to like him or anything about his politics that blow whichever way the wind is going.

I didn't vote for Bush is second time around. I voted against that lying piece of shit coward Kerry who apparently is the dictionary definition of f*ck up and move up. He's probably just disappointed Obama has only one d*ck so he can get only one hole filled at a time (Sorry Abs).

[revelarts]

See I was raised not to talk to or about ladies this way. No matter what their politics, religion or race.
I was taught this kinda crap was unacceptable.
This kinda thing is why I can't take seriously some people's judgment on my "personal or professional" ideas on how people should act.

( That adults running for public office say it and not ---goofy entertainers-- and it helps get them votes is freakin' sad.
Maybe he'll call O'Rily a Big dum-dum-head tomorrow sheesh)
