possibly gain ground on him, they can change rules in primaries into all kinds of things to protect him. in the primary leading up to the convention. so it s pretty baked in. that s why god bless chris christie in asia hasan but they don t stand a chance in hell, unfortunately. i don t see anyone who stands a chance at this moment. and tim, it makes me wonder because i know that you worked for jeb bush back in 2016, who was an opponent to donald trump at the time, but republicans have not internalized the mistakes that lead trump cruise to the nomination in the first place. i m wondering why that he. this is a purely a calculation of votes? do they think that he controls such a large base, if i have to win or peel them i have to find a way to get through to those voters? or is it just because they are afraid to take him on because of the retribution and the public humiliation that you get with going up against donald trump? you become a lying ted or
but what makes something donald trump honors any type of agreement? he doesn t. so why should they try to foist this on republican amani s who are trying to run against him because they re claiming they want to turn the page, a new chapter. we have to leave donald trump behind. how does that square? it doesn t. run a mcdaniel actually said that she believes this pledge is where the health of the unity, they unite behind their nominee. really? this is what donald trump is good for the country and good for the party? for its health and growth? good luck with that. i think it s gonna be a lot of egg on republican faces. tim, if trump gets indicted in august, potentially weeks or days for his debate, there s no doubt that the topic is going to come up. but if we ve seen anything over the last couple of weeks it s that republicans have not wanted to speak on his forcefully. so far we haven t seen them, at least, from any of them to do that. is there any inclination that
now because these guys are scared of trump s voters. not even the candidates. it s even people like senator lindsey graham who have fallen in line. that says a lot about the republican party. tim miller, tara setmayer, always a pleasure. coming, up a former president goes on trial for violating the espionage act, but nobody sees it. didn t really happen? the struggle between protecting america s secrets and letting everyone know the truth about donald trump. that s next. that s next. day products. .designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that. .i need a breakthrough card. like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more. plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases! and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas. .a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what s yours.
for the republican nomination because of that voters deserve to know what he is accused of doing by special counsel jack smith, who indicted the ex president on 37 criminal counts in connection with his handling of classified documents. jack smith pledged to seek a speedy trial in the case against trump, and when it begins the american people quite frankly should be able to hear it and see it. they should hear the prosecutors allegations of trump storing hundreds of documents all over his mar-a-lago estate and refusing to give them back, as well as the ex president s defense. it will be key for this trial to be as transparent as possible, especially if it happens at the same time as the election, when americans may have to decide whether or not they will vote for donald trump. so how do you not hold a public trial when the defendant is a
the second round the documents case, and even if she punts that case into, i don t, know after the election, like someone speculated you might, it s still entirely possible that special counsel jack smith indicted donald trump again for the documents but this time not for the documents but for in new jersey are in washington d.c.. jack smith might also indict trump for charges stemming from the january 6th insurrection. which makes it all the more ridiculous that the rnc is demanding that the candidates for edge their loyalty to whomever winds the primary, even if that candidate is currently on trial. imagine a loyalty pledge is worth remembering donald trump himself reneged on back in 2016. when the six months ago you pledged to support the republican nominee, whoever that may be [applause] no, i don t anymore. now we ll see who it is.
