Scarborough: Trump’s Refusal to Disavow David Duke Is ‘Disqualifying’

‘This isn’t buying him a single vote’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "That’s disqualifying right there. It’s breathtaking. That’s disqualifying right there. To say you don’t know about the Ku klux Klan? You don’t know about David duke? And the most stunning thing, Willie geist, is this isn’t buying him a single vote. I mean, is he really so stupid that he thinks southerners aren’t offended by the Ku klux Klan and David duke? Is he really so ignorant of southern voters that he thinks this is the way to their heart? To go neutral? To play Switzerland when you’re talking about the Klan? And to say he doesn’t know enough information about the Klan to condemn them? Exactly what does Donald Trump expect to learn in the next 24 hours about the Klan? I just don’t get it."
GEIST: "It’s hard to imagine an easier political question than “Will you disavow David duke and the Ku klux Klan” unless you don’t really want to disavow David duke and the Ku klux Klan unless you think it signals a fraction of the voters you want to hold on to on super Tuesday. Will this hurt him on super Tuesday?"
SCARBOROUGH: "No."
GEIST: "Maybe not. But the you believe Donald Trump is the nominee to a general election and a television ad in which Donald Trump will not disavow the Ku klux Klan and you know as a Republican you have to win a share of black voters, a share of Latino voters or a share of any voter, any voter, whatever color they are."
SCARBOROUGH: "How about white suburban housewives? How about starting there?"
