You may count me as a &#8220;never Trumper&#8221; who wouldn&#8217;t vote for Trump if he were the last man standing. However, if I was a practicing daily journalist, I would really embrace the chance to talk frankly with him, trying to pin him down on what he intends to do in office.<\/p>\n<p>Brzezinski and Scarborough are real-life wife and husband. I am utterly certain they talked through many nights trying to decide whether this was the right call, given the angry rhetoric they exchanged with Trump in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows? This effort to restart communication between them and the next POTUS might backfire. If it does, then the critics can bellow &#8220;We told you so!&#8221; If not, then they are able to do their jobs as journalists and try to plum what passes for a brain in the skull of the next president.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone will have to explain to me why the liberal establishment has its shorts in a wad over an interview that two MSNBC hosts had with the next president of the United States.
