Never been in before to watch someone run for president , nonetheless a former president facing several indictments and several court dates during the process leading up to the election. Mike to that point, martha, you had the republican candidates on your program, his former Vice President mike pence on yesterday. What about the challenge for the other candidates to stay on message, get on message, whatever you want to call it, when the former president is constantly the story . Martha its rough, obviously. These campaigns all are raising money, they are, you know, putting ads out there, trying to make their mark, trying to break through, which you know, has been they are basically in a pretty tight heat in the polls and the 10 to 6 range, some at 3 in the top, and those are the top candidates.

Theres so much to consider. The motivation, the political effect on november, and the future of the court itself. How much public trust can it stand to lose before
