they keep trying to stop trump and they keep failing. late tonight, the minnesota supreme court dismissed a lawsuit that would have kept the former president off the ballot entirely. that was based on a totally bogus claim that he is disqualified from being president under the 14th amendment. it is not going to work. so, what s next in their bag of dirty tricks to try to stop this guy? well, we are going to discuss it a little later. but, first, what happened and what s next? that s the focus of tonight s angle. no getting around it, republicans were once again disappointed last night. big weed and big abortion won in ohio. the g.o.p. lost its dream of taking control of the virginia state house. and the incumbent democrat in kentucky andy beshear, he won. now, naturally, democrats are leaping to the conclusion that biden emerges as superman. it was a significant victory for democrats and it couldn t come at a better time for them as there is tremendous anxiety about preside
He is a heck no on trump care. Im a heck no on this. I think theyve got problems with the vote. Ive personally spoken to 29 of my conservative colleagues who are no on this as of today and were not even counting the moderate republicans who are a no. I think theyve got a lot of arm twisting to do between now and thursday if theyre going to pass this bill in the house. Does he sound scared to you . Because congressman massey was in the room today when donald trump came to the House Of Representatives to urge republicans to vote for the bill. Here is how congressman massey describes tough guy donald trump. Threatening and pushing around all those republicans who oppose the bill. He was very charming. There was some lighthearted jabs at his opponents in the room but it was all in good fun. Lighthearted jabs. That ought to do it. Thats what tough guy trump is delivering to republican opponents of his bill. Thomas massey doesnt claim to
be a tough guy the way donald trump does, but he certa

that this is a congress that hasn t gotten much done. but obviously, an incredibly important issue, multitude of issues. we are getting it done and we are getting it done on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis. and to your point, congresswoman, a lot of people are applauding house speaker johnson to actually help this get to the point where you need to vote on these necessary and critical foreign aid packages. but in the wake of getting these bills to the floor, we know that paul goes-r has now joined with marjorie taylor green and thomas massey in supporting a motion to vacate a speaker johnson. i have to ask, if the motion eventually comes to the floor, can speaker johnson expect your support to save his job? let me just say, i am not about to reward extremist politicians who want to punish the speaker for working in a bipartisan manner. and that is exactly what we are seeing. but, from the three who have
