MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tore into the field of Republican presidential candidates for broadcasting a message of “doom and gloom” during Monday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe.”
The former Republican congressman from Florida started by stating that if you are running against an optimistic candidate, “maybe that’s all you can do,” but the problem Republicans will face in 2016 is that none of the Democrats, “project a sort of positive, sunshine patriot view of America.”
SCARBOROUGH: We’re still the greatest country in the world! Even the Chinese say eight of the top 10 universities are ours. There is an energy revolution that happened despite Washington, it was American ingenuity that figured out how to drill sideways, draw more energy up. We totally blew everybody’s minds and now we’re going to control the next century. We’ve got Apple, we’ve got Intel, we’ve got the tech sector, we’ve got the smartest, most brilliant people in the world… All we have to do is get Washington out of its way!
And I’m not even running for anything. I’m saying it because I believe it. Why doesn’t any Republican believe that the new American century is going to be better than the last? And I’m dead serious, I’m so tired of them whining. Let the Democrats whine!
