Morning Joe: Lifelong Republicans Will Vote for Hillary Over Trump or Cruz

Rarely will you ever read a quote from "Morning Joe" Scarborough from me, but I will certainly make an exception considering what he said today:

"I am shocked by how many Republicans, that have always voted Republican, that have said they're gonna vote for Hillary if it's Cruz or Trump... I'm talking Deep South, Southern Baptist. I asked people who I expect to say yes, Cruz, go "Hell no. Hell no. No. I will never vote for Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. I will vote for Hillary Clinton before those two."


Sorry Joe, these are your two clear GOP frontrunners and they aren't going anywhere.


Every time I process info from Morning Joe I want to take 3 showers, but the GE is gonna be interesting. I just wonder how fractured the Republican Party is for people to vote for they're sworn enemy.

Hillary but not Bernie and vice versa. That would be you.

I love how you link to an OP that I did not post and a thread I never posted on to prove your "point" though. Speaks volumes.

republican friends last Sunday. He is an enthusiastic Trump supporter. I suggested that Ted Cruz was coming on strong and had a very good chance to be the nominee. My friend, who has never in his life voted for a democrat, said he would vote for Hillary if Cruz got the R nomination. I think Ted turns off a lot of non-evangelical republicans.
