Joe Scarborough

Joe Scarborough conflates the rise of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News with the losses that the Republican have encountered in the past 6 election cycles.


These people energize the political base, but they also turn off the general population.

This descriptive comment demonstrates a "rational" ad populum appeal to the party to straighten out its idealogical and hardening political talk, if they want to win future elections.  He is giving a middle and more moderate choice to the audience to join him in cleaning out the over-zealous voices.  I find it instructive that he is throwing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News under the bus.  And how does it relate to the other side--ie, MSNBC?
