Morning Joe goes off the rails predicting John Bolton, Michael Huckabee and Palin to run in 2016

[Mike Daniels]

Brill Kristol was on the air during the 7 a.m. slot offering his projections for the top 9 candidates for the GOP and in the process Huckabee, Palin and John Bolton were listed as top primary contenders (not to mention Paul, Cruz, Walker, Pence, etc.). Scarborough (obviously off his meds) lauded Palin and claimed her to still be a superstar and major potential force who could manage to turn things around and offer a legitimate challange for the nomination.

Chuck Todd tried to be the voice of reason (yeah, I know...) by pointing out the obvious... that runs by people like Huckabee and Palin were more likely to be cynical money grabs and attempts to keep their profile high so as to score speaking and public appearance gigs. Joe, proving again that he is the worst part of his program, proceeded to allow Kristol to run on non-stop while Todd was trying to make his valid (for once) point.

Seriously, it's amazing that CNN isn't competent enough to put on a morning show that knocks this clown car of a TV program into last place ratings-wise.

5. A leftover from the Cold War, a moralizing amateur-priest and a reality-show-starlet.

The Democrats will be in deep trouble.

6. Look - it's going to be Jeb Bush. I really don't see how it can go any other way.

11. If Jeb does not run, the GOP will have to turn to Scott Walker or some other GOP Governor

I agree that Jeb is looking strong right now but there is a good chance that he will not run. Jeb has not run in a race since 2002 and the world has changed. If Jeb runs, he should be the GOP nominee

If Jeb does not run, then I am betting that it will be a GOP governor who gets re-elected in 2014. That is why it is critical that Scott Walker and the Ohio governor are defeated.

7. So a neocon, a theocrat, and a grifter walk into a bar...

Later joined by John Bolton and Mike Huckabee.

8. Running

Hell, throw Ken Ham into the mix and make it a party.

I really do not understand how people can watch this trash.

Independent media is the way to go.

He brings out the delusion in Joe!
