opinion, when you write something like that. more importantly, again, for republicans, a guy who will never win the general election. well, it really it was such a bookend, because you had his behavior at the town hall last week, which showed us he is the same exact guy. if you were hoping to see some muted, changed, evolved donald trump, that s not what we saw. he hasn t been changed by january 6th, the indictments, the jean carroll case, by reality. then the mother s day statement which was particularly unhinged. this is the reality, american people seem to be in the polls. they re looking at options, that much is clear. what they re seeing is the same
they lose. here, donald trump is going, ah, i don t really think about winning or which once again reveals, as we saw on this show in december 2015, this guy has some really bizarre fixation, really strange, unexplained connection still eight years later with vladimir putin, that he can t even say he hopes the freedom fighters, whose country was invaded by a leader who was committing war crimes every day, he can t even say that he wants that side fighting for freedom to win. you can t be neutral in a situation like this with such moral absolutism. there s not a lot of rules in this world, joe. not a lot of norms or rules. the only one that s really out there, the most basic one, is you cannot use force to change borders. that aggression cannot become
tern mark zaid posted this. he represented whistleblowers for over 25 years and never lost one. never lost one. i really don t don t really know, charlie, where to begin with this one. except for the fact we had all this breathless huffing and puffing about the fbi being corrupt and staging january 6th and spying on donald trump. then you had all the right-wing papers, trumpy papers, saying that durham was proving that hillary spied. yeah. then it was all a lie. durham made an absolute fool of himself and had to shut down the investigation. now, you have comer who said, oh, yeah, we had this informant who we built this entire case on, but we lost him. it s more of the same. yeah, the hunt for the great white whale isn t going well, is it? it s never a good thing when you
church. we ll see what happens. they ve got again, they ve got a good story to tell. they need to tell it. so donald trump and ron desantis and iowa this past weekend. the press has been saying it s over for desantis. i m not so sure. i m reminded what my father told me in the summer of 2007, when everybody said john mccain was on his way out. he was having a disastrous start to his primary presidential run. as i was leaving to fly back to new york, my dad said, don t count out john mccain. he s going to win the republican nomination. i was like, okay, dad, that s nice. but he did. so i just offer a warning to everybody in the press that s saying ron desantis is done, there s no way he can win. i m not so sure. because at the end of the day, as desantis said, republicans have a culture of losing right now that s wrapped around donald
invasion. donald trump talking about terminated the constitution of the united states. donald trump leading an insurrection against the united states with riots. now talking about wanting to pardon those people as, quote, political prisoners. you can go on and on. the stakes just keep getting higher every day, don t they? that s exactly right. i mean, mitt romney said it very well, i think the end of last week. he basically said, a second trump term would be untethered. that is the greatest risk of a second trump term. every time i speak with a former colleague, a former national security official or ones who have lived in that world for decades, they always raise what richard just raised, which is that what could happen in a second trump term is that he is unhooked into any politics. he s not running for another term. he doesn t abide by the rule of law. he doesn t abide by the rule of global engagement. that means he does whatever he wants.
