Scarborough: Scalise's Nutty Talk Of Impeachment Is 'Devastating' For GOP

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tried to give GOP leaders a lesson on Monday in how to answer questions about President Obama's impeachment: Just say "no."

The "Morning Joe" host went on a tear a day after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) dodged several questions about whether the House plans to attempt to impeach the President. Scalise made the comments during "Fox News Sunday."

Scarborough said Republican legislators needed a tutorial on how to answer such questions. He called on GOP legislators watching the show at home to "take out a pen and notepad." In order for Republicans to “ever win an election again,” Scarborough said, they need to answer “no.”

“What is wrong with him?” Scarborough, himself a former congressman, asked MSNBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd. “[Scalise] is the number three guy! He is not a back bencher! Not a crazy nut like I was. He is a number three ranking Republican in the House of Representatives! And you can’t say no to that? It’s devastating.”

Worth laughing at if for no other reason Scarborough's admission he's a "crazy nut."

I had thought all this impeachment talk was them pandering to their Tea Party fringe, but I'm beginning to wonder if they've really lost it and are starting to warm up to the idea.

That's really all you need to know. They're crazed and going nuts because nothing they've tried to throw at him has stuck. They haven't awakened one golden day and realized the Obama administration was just a bad dream. They haven't been able to derail him. Slow him down a little but not much else. So they're grasping at straws. They're desperate to get rid of him and nullify his very existence and nothing else has worked for them to achieve that goal.

THAT MAKES IT EVER MORE URGENT that our side gets out the vote. VOTE!!! Make everyone you know go vote, too. Drive them there. Hold their place in line so they can go to the bathroom if you have to! GET YOUR ASS to the polling place and VOTE. And make sure your friends do, too!!!
