2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBest music video you will watch today. And you'll never guess who recorded it:
Joe Scarborough, GOP host of MSNBC's Morning Joe.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/joe-scarborough-drops-amnesty-don-music-video-mocking-trump-article-1.2774142
The Morning Joe co-host on Wednesday escalated his very public feud with Donald Trump, releasing a bizarre, twangy music video mocking Amnesty Don for his onetime softening on immigration.
Scarboroughs magnum opus splices together old Western footage with photos and video of Trump, branding the GOP nominee a soft and flaccid man and even taking shots at his tiny little hands and burnt orange tan.

A prescription drug-style disclaimer closes out the video: If you take medication for premature softening, dont take it for your softening if you suffer from psychiatric abnormalities like being a sociopath, a psychopath, or narcissism, nativism, racism or flip-floppery.
Scarborough, who plays in a band during his spare time, shared the video on his own Facebook page. A rep from MSNBC declined to comment when reached by the Daily News.

Scarborough, in case you didn't know, is a music junkie whose dream of becoming a rock star never really died, as Vanity Fair chronicled this month. Key passage from that profile by Emily Jane Fox:
"I asked him how someone who ran for office, who served in Congress, and who hosts a daily cable news show could possibly still claim to be scared of judgment. Without a beat, he responded that music is the only thing he has ever really cared about professionally."

(63,912 posts)anybody to tell him he's just great and whatta talent! So he spends gobs of money on flattering himself. That doesn't impress me, quite frankly.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. But I'm entitled to my opinion, too.
