He’s not that good.  And I can go the other way. Would David Horowitz have had the popularity he had if he hadn’t been a radical 60s guy?

I didn't know Horowitz had popularity. His was somewhat limited even in Fox world.  Last time he was big news was during his push for an Academic Bill of Rights, which fizzled in PA. That was in 2005. Has something happened since? Seems like D'Souza has replaced him as guy who manufactures new narratives--Obama's "postcolonial" agenda, the "switch" after 65 never occured, Hillary's America etc.

Scaborough seems to me about as polished as any of the commentators doing what he does. The ripping on Republicans seems rather recent to me. Some years back I thought he was more like a mainstream O'Reilly.  The party changed and that is why we find him and Steve Schmidt and George Will and Michael Steele standing up for the party that was--against Trump.  

Also, Scarborough is photogenic, prom king good looks. Middle America appeal. Sessions is a small elderly guy with a southern accent who was down with the Trump agenda, while taking his personal abuse. That limits his appeal outside Trumpdom, and being cast off by the leader limits his appeal inside it.  Trump's nicknames stick to a guy like that. Also, Sessions represents some tendencies of the Trump movement with least appeal outside it. Nasty on immigration.

Like Dino says, maybe slap his name on a ghost written book--supporting the guy who kicked him down the stairs.
