i recognize that saying outrageous things sounds like a good idea in the moment, but eventually these things catch up with you. i think. i m not trying to be provocative, but welcome to your new party, brother. because that stuff sells. that s one of the reasons trump has the commanding lead he has. let s check in with dana bash. at the debate hall. dana? thanks, anderson. i m here with one of the participants in the debate tonight, candidate for president, governor asa hutchinson. thank you so much for me. what were your impressions being on the stage? actually, i was very pleased with the substantive discussions from education to the border security to foreign policy, and that s exactly what america needs to hear from a republican candidates, not a trump fiasco but a really serious discussion about the
great to be here, neil. neil: the booing part of that that you received, were you expecting that? sure. yeah, look, you know, you go into a debate hall, a big debate hall like that and you re going to say hard truths about the former nominee of the party. so there s going to be some people upset about that. they don t want to hear those truths. but the truths need to be heard. they need to be spoken. because here s the problem, neil. this is what those folks need to understand. that in a few hours, donald trump will be out on bail in four different jurisdictions. if that is the person that we think can beat joe biden, we re kidding ourselves. you re not going to do that. he s going to be he will probably be on trial in at least two of those cases between now and election day 2024. job is begging for donald trump. i think when i tried to show

at two hundred thousand dollars and placed strict conditions on his use of social media. anthony zurcher reports. well, i think it is significant in that it sucks a lot of the oxygen out of the room here in milwaukee, the debate hall is just over my shoulder here, this basketball arena. and the audience for the debate is just not going to be as great without donald trump on the stage, and a lot of the media attention is going to be shifted from here in milwaukee to atlanta, georgia, where a very visible drama is going to play out, donald trump reporting to a jail, being booked, having his mugshot taken, all of this is going to capture a lot of the public s attention. and so there is a pretty major distraction away from the candidates who are coming here and hoping that this could be their moment to break out and get some momentum going in the months ahead, to position themselves as the prime challenger of donald trump when it comes to voting starting next january.
