Does anyone else think Joe Scarborough might have White House aspirations for 2020?

He's being awfully chatty lately and I don't remember the old Joe was quite so talky. I think Mika would like to be First Lady. She regularly brings up Joe's opinion pieces on their show.

The two adulterers in the White House. Perfect.

The only problem I see is that Joe is now an Independent. He'd probably have to go back to being a puke again.

I don't think he would want to do the work. Pontificating with Mika is much easier and it pays more. jalan48 Apr 2018 #13

It would take way too much work - and he is not up to that.

As long as he can keep booking himself on his own show he's got almost as good a shot at that as becoming president.

Too many marriages, and a Ted Kennedy problem. We'll be tougher on the next candidates (I hope)

But, he is clearly angling for a job in a future Republican administration (hopefully there isn't ever one again).

...he won't run in the GOP. It's a fucking mess and he can't capture the rabid base.

If he did run, he would do so as a Dem. How you say? He'll grab the Republicans that have said fuck it to the GOP and move the Democratic Party to the center. That's the scary part.
