Joe Scarborough: Trump Is So Unlikeable That His Only Chance of Winning Is to Make Americans ‘Hate Kamala Harris’

Morning Joe ‘s Joe Scarborough offered up a stark analysis of former President Donald Trump’s latest strategy against Vice President Kamala Harris : “They can’t make people like Donald Trump. So their goal is to make people hate Kamala Harris.”

While citing Trump’s latest attacks on Harris, along with his recent flip-flops on abortion and immigration, Scarborough brought up the ex-president’s unfavorable polling and compared it to Harris, who is polling more favorably . He told co-host Mika Brzezinski that the Trump camp was “disconnected from the truth,” and their only strategy was “outrageous” attacks on Harris simply to make people “hate” her:

And I think the most striking thing, Mika, that when you’re looking at people are trying to sort through this race and what direction it’s going. You just look at the favorable/unfavorables. Donald Trump way up, upside down by close to 20 points, in the 30s for likable. And then you have Kamala Harris actually upside, I think it’s like 46/43. That is a huge gap. And the Trump campaign has said, and if you see some of just the absolute crazed behavior, and it’s just, it’s really almost too much to get your arms around. And I understand that’s the idea of it, that there’s so, the claims are so outrageous.

They’re so disconnected from the truth. Trump moving all over the place on issues from abortion to immigration, now saying we need more immigrants in the United States. All of this stuff, the crazy stuff at Arlington, they’re just they’re absolutely desperate. And the campaign has said internally they know they can never bring — they can’t make people like Donald Trump. So their goal is to make people hate Kamala Harris. And that’s where we are. And if they can’t get Americans to hate Kamala Harris, then they understand she will win.
