Oh, Joe. Getting your goat is oh, so easy. Take it personally - she’s there to taunt you. Talk about something else.

Oh please fool. Tell that to Carnival Cruz, whom we all know is running, and yet he has never announced that either. Instead he runs around costing tax payers $25 BILLION by forcing a shut down of government to appease the raging lunatics in his base, and playing king in the House, by going around Boehner and getting his little teabag minions to do his bidding. So sorry Joe the fool, that Hillary does not bow down to your demands to please you, but keep talking and dissing her.

If Hillary was a Republican and people were dogging her to declare, ol’ Dead Intern In My Office would be chastising those people: “She’s allowed to decide on her own terms! Leave Hillary alone, you bloodsuckers!”

And even if she did “acquiesce” to Joe’s demands, you know he’d just start hollering, “What are your positions? What would you do better than Obama? What about #BENGHAZI?!?” Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera…

If Hillary Clinton announced today, then Joe Scarborough would say: This is why Americans hate politics. Campaigns which last for over 2 years.

So, Scarborough, who makes sure his own name gets floated as a potential candidate every cycle, takes a page from ISIL PR playbook and says offensive stuff to get TPM and MSNBC promo dept to give him his daily blurb.
Had he even bothered to listen to the speech before settling on an outrage du jour, he’d know Hillary Clinton was there at the request of retiring legendary Sen Tom Harkin to endorse and stump for his preferred successor, Bruce Braley, and the entire 2014 Iowa mid-term Democratic ticket.
Which 90% of her speech did.

The problem is the Beltway media who will not shut up about 2016 and have carrying on about it since the day after Obama was re-elected. How about we worry about things that are actually relevant RIGHT NOW?

I wasn’t aware that there was a new standard where one idiot on a third-tier cable news program got to decide when candidates must declare their national campaign intentions.

If I wanted Scarborough’s opinion I’d watch his show

I rather doubt that Cruz will run. Sure he is going to test the waters, its easy money. But he doesn’t have the support within the party necessary for a presidential run, and he knows he would lose in a general.(Badly, according to every fantasy poll I have seen ask the question…Cruz gets something like 35% of the vote…electorally that is about as close to the entire map going blue as we could see). He is also very lacking in serious donors right now, as DeMint has burned through huge amounts of cash with literally nothing to show for it. (Indeed, the entire TP funding operation is falling apart. Look for a few high profile groups to be declaring insolvency early next year).
His ambitions are still fixed squarely on Texas,in my opinion. The only thing that would sway that, would be an overwhelming TP wave this fall…and that just isn’t going to happen.

That nice lady next to Joe looks like an abuse victim. Head bowed, eyes diverted, lips tightly pursed. Yep the posture of a completely dominated woman. She looks so sad. Is she Joe’s wife?

I hope she continues to wait for a while longer. It’s driving the media crazy which I think is just fine. Secretary Clinton doesn’t owe Scarborough anything. If she did announce right now the attacks would shift to blaming her for interfering with the mid-terms.

Clinton is the person running…if she intends to do that. Why does she owe the punditry anything while she makes plans to do or not do that? Why can’t she do it her way…?
Clinton doesn’t owe Joe a damn thing.

Excellent question, of course TPM will never answer.

Joe Scarborough went on a bit of a rant on Monday
How can one tell? “Rant” seems to be his default mode.
