Run, Joe, run! Why a Scarborough presidential run would be doomed and amazing

The hot buzz from No Labels circles is the TV host is "mulling" a bid. He can't win, but it'd be funny to watch

This is only slightly less embarrassing than engaging with a rumor about Donald Trump, how do they say, “mulling a presidential bid,” so let’s start with an apology: I’m sorry. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to the lowly business of the day. Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s wake-up chat show Morning Joe, is “mulling a presidential bid,” according to a couple of anonymous people and Mark McKinnon, who spoke to Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller website. What a world.

So, is Joe Scarborough running for president in 2016?

Thanks for clearing that up, Unsolicited Tweet from November. But let’s humor the hot new buzz anyway.

From the Daily Caller:

It’s widely believed at MSNBC — including among network brass — that Scarborough is actively mulling a presidential bid, sources said.
