Former FL Rep. and current Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough says he won’t vote for Trump unless Trump backs away from some of his more extreme proposals like the Muslim ban:

So much for Trump/Scarborough.

While I can at least understand social conservatives like JCL not wanting to back Trump because of his strong flirtation with being pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and in favor of Single Payer Health Insurance comma I am got against us that they have Paw Coursey other Republicans like Scarborough and Company who claimed it's Trump's supposedly extreme views on Banning Muslims and the like and immigration that keep them from supporting him. And yet they would in a second rally around Ted Cruz if he won the nomination who holds essentially the exact same policy decisions. For most of these Republicans the only reason they're not supporting Trump vs. Cruise isn't because they have any different views, but rather because Cruz presented in a Harvard Law School veneer of respectable appearance, where is Trump presents the exact same policies with the vulgarity of a reality show star that he is. Color Me unimpressed by the so-called principled Republicans for withholding your support of trump a hundred and 1% on the basis of Style versus substance.

A) The style is the substance in this case, not just because of the profoundly farcical nature of Trump's campaign but because said "style" veers dangerously close to incitement to violence.  It's not merely a matter of making the subtext text.

B) And, if you think it is just a matter of making subtext text, if it's the exact same policies with a different skin...well, that's not entirely false.  But if you really think that, and you choose to stick with your blue avatar, you do realize what that implies about your own desires, no?
