Joe Scarborough Headed To GOP Conference Fueling Presidential Bid Speculation

The former GOP congressman and MSNBC host said last week he hadn’t ruled it out.

MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough, is planning a trip to New Hampshire next month to speak at a gathering of Republicans, fueling rumors he is indeed mulling a presidential bid, The Daily Caller reported.

Earlier in the month, while appearing on The View, Scarborough was asked about whether he would consider a 2016 presidential run to which he responded with a “very bashful no,” according to Mediate.

However, in a follow-up radio interview, the former congressman who served in House of Representatives from 1995 to 2001 as a Republican from the First District of Florida, said he wouldn’t rule it out.

“No, I won’t rule anything out. I’ve always said and I’ve always been open about the fact that the greatest job I’ve ever had and the greatest honor I’ve ever had was being in the House of Representatives…No, I’ve always said I wanted to get back in. It’s just a matter of time. We’ll see what happens,” he remarked.


Does he realize just how stupid he is? I think not

... it seems like he would have no problem contending for the nomination.

But that's not saying a whole lot.

the Republicans. How can he get past that?
I don't believe the "dead intern" conspiracy theories, but I do believe he has two unhappy ex-wives.

Never mind the "Mika affair" rumors. He's not "fundy" material. He's not Teahadist material. He makes RMoney look like he has potential.

Who the hell has been filling his head with such lunacy? Is he dating some woman who has visions of redecorating the Oval Office, rather like Fred Thompson's wife?

I saw Joe and the beautiful aide ( not his wife ) Lori Klausutis in the Atlanta airport yuking it up with his best buddy Newt Ginrich with his aide ( not his wife at the time) Calista in the 90s.
Lori, a triathlete was murdered a short time later. Look it up. Theres a reason he has no chance for higher office....
Joe was my rep. in Fla. A liar and complete phony. He doesnt have a chance.

the election and then lose his place on his morning show. Then it would be worth watching instead of listening to his opinionated big mouth. Then maybe Mika could get a word in edgewise.
