MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Republican voters would seal their party's doom in November by essentially handing the nomination to Donald Trump.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the GOP primary after a poor showing in the Iowa caucus, and Trump has a chance to wrap up the Republican presidential nomination if Nikki Haley finishes a distant second in New Hampshire, but the "Morning Joe" host predicted the party would be toast in November if the former president was the nominee.
"I guarantee you, you know, there's some people watching that are saying, 'Oh, they're being so tough on Republicans' – no!" Scarborough said. "As I've said time and again, listen to me, you may actually start winning elections again. I've been saying this in 2017, '18, '19, '20, '21, '22, '23, and now into '24. People are like, 'You're so hostile, oh, my God, why are you hostile toward Republicans?' I'm not being hostile to Republicans, I'm not being this hostile to conservatives. I'm just telling you, if you want to win, you've got to move forward."

"You can't elect a guy who is obsessed with 2020," Scarborough added. "You've got to elect a guy or a woman in this case who can help you move forward over the next four, five, 10 years. All Donald Trump does is talk about himself. You need to elect a president who talks about you and your family. Trump will never do that, ever! But if you want that, if you want to lose again, thank you, Jesus, for giving us free will, Republicans lose again, it's in your hands. But that decision is made tonight, it's made tonight. If Donald Trump wins tonight, Republicans will lose again in the fall."
