Scarborough: Trump Is Not Going to Win the General Now
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "We predicted Trump could win the Republican nomination. We predicted that Marco Rubio at least — I don’t want to associate too many people with me because it made people angry but I predicted that Marco Rubio’s campaign was never going to go anywhere. And predicted about a month ago that Donald Trump could actually, if you look at the industrial midwest, trump could actually win the general election. That prediction is pulled off the table for me. You look at the David demurral, you look at another attack saying Islam is the enemy and now you look at Friday, I can’t begin to tell you how many swing voters, how many independent voters, how many moderate Republicans, how many conservative Democrats, how — and I know that the phone calls that are pouring in to America I can’t tell you how many people over the past three weeks have gone, “You know what? I was thinking about it, I’m not thinking about it anymore.” That’s not to say he’s not going to do well, he’s just not going to win the general election in this mode. Not even close."
GEIST: "I’ve heard people say the same thing, he was an interesting candidate, he’s different, he shakes things up, after the KKK thing, I think people have gotten off the middle ground where they thought they perhaps could vote for him but you’re right in the short game analogy, he thinks this is god for America I’m dividing these people up, I’m showing they’re coming to our rallies and disrupting us, it helps him, maybe he wins Illinois because of it, maybe he’s going to blow out in Florida but maybe he creeps up and wins Ohio but playing this long game, it’s not going to work for him. There are too many people who don’t want to see it."
