For the life of me I could not figure out the recent Joe Scarborough announcement to become an independent. Did the Republican Party vote him off the island? Don’t think so. His views were from someone never a Republican but in name only. So why the change?
First let’s see how that announcement came about – on the Colbert show. Was he a regular visitor on that show? Don’t think so. Yet it was there that he casually let it slip that he was jumping ship. Why didn’t he just announce it on his own morning show?
The answer is obvious. He needed a bigger audience! And there is the answer as to why he is jumping ship – That Morning Joe is now under new management, so come on back and watch again. That was his message.
The Morning Joe Show is dying.
