Joe Scarborough may be a jack Republican, but he occasionally suffers flashbacks to his life before MSNBC and inexplicably sounds like a conservative. Or at least a realist.
Enjoy this moment of clarity:
Joe: A president that cannot control 45 backbenchers in the opposing Party in the House of Representatives is too weak to be President of the United States. It is that simple. Lyndon Johnson would have eaten these people up for breakfast and spit them out before lunch.
Mika: Okay. These people though are the very people that I think don’t care…
Joe: Ronald Reagan wouldn’t put up, I mean, a strong leader doesn’t put up with it.
Mika: …about…
Joe: It doesn’t matter whether they care or not. You make them irrelevant to the process if you’re strong enough to do that.
You’re forgiven if you made the mistake of thinking that an experienced community organizer would have done a better job organizing the opposition.
