Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was shocked by the results of a new poll showing a majority of Americans -- including one in five Republicans -- think Donald Trump should be prosecuted.

"You look at the number -- only 19 percent of Republicans, let's stop for a second and think about this," Scarborough said. "But if one in five of my base thought I should have been charged with a crime and gone to jail, I mean, I would have gone and practiced law a lot earlier.
