...and each attempt netted him a "We're doing GREAT in Florida" response.

I think what he was doing was not jumping on the crap bandwagon. They wanted to "get into his head" ... or basicly get a soundbyte they could crow about and pick at. He wasn't going to give it to them. Thats basicly it. He'll endorse when they have the convention and is standing pretty firm on that.

Disavowing (or really commenting at all, either positive or negative) at this point in the sh*t throwing contest that is the republican party isn't going to do him any good. The only thing it will do is get him drug into the middle. He obviously doesn't want to be there.

My initial reaction...especially when he said the thing about wanting the candidate who will "create the most jobs," and Scarborough chimed in, "So you ARE a Trump guy," was that he'll do plenty of distancing if Trump DOESN'T get the nod, but until then...

LOW information, lack of critical thinking?
