That Repub, ex-House member, Joe Scarborough, who has not been Donny’s biggest fan, has had his say about the ‘progressives’ success…. Joe Scarborough has managed to find some common ground with a man he frequently criticizes, President Trump.

The reference is to the success of social democrats in Democratic primaries, a group that Trump has taken to calling “communists.” “I mean, there have been some extraordinarily loony ideas coming from some,” said Scarborough.
