guessing. if you put troops serum in its mcconnell, he ll tell you that donald trump has been a disaster for the party, and he would like to go away. he will not be seen that bluntly, but that s what he thinks. you bring up georgia, and trump s own advisers are on television saying, sir, we urge you not to announce potential presidency until after december six. trump has floated entirely. he did that advice out the window. if the republicans lose, if herschel walker loses georgia, and raphael warnock is reelected and democrats increase their majority in the upper chamber, do you think trump is any pressure that? was that further confirmation that, oh yeah, this guy is a jerk on the party, but does it do anything? i think it s further confirmation because control of the senate is not now hinging on that race. it won t be quite the same thing it would ve been had it been the decider, if there was a one race that would tell us
doesn t like everyone to talk aboutke donald trump. what does mitch mcconnell do tomorrow when he is asked about trump s candidacy. we know that mitch mcconnell didn t care for donald trump. we no that mitch mcconnell thinks donald trump is an albatross on theis republican party. that r the last three elections that the republicans have lost in mitch mcconnell s mind is because of 2016, 2018 and 2022. and with the tie, and the democratic majority, he s going tode focus on that and use thats an excuse not to talk about donald trump, what the truth serum with mitch mcconnell would tell you that he s a disaster to the party and would like for donald trump to go away. he s not probably going to say it thatin bluntly, but that s wt he thinks. you bring up georgia, trump s own advisers were on television
people are nervous. they re not panicked though. the difference between people who are nervous and panicked is a huge gulf. the reason is people feel the full embrace of nato. they think that, joe, your point last night, this is, you know, if putin ever decides to push into poland, russia will be incinerated, evaporated by the 82nd airborne and other forces. it doesn t feel that that level of confidence is absent in some of the smaller countries. it is absent because a lot of them feel as though they ve been telling us, the larger countries in the west, that this is what putin was going to do. they ve been telling it to us for 15 years, and we ve been ignoring them. you see their defense ministers and prime ministers and deputy prime ministers all over european television saying, we told you this was going to happen eventually. you didn t listen. we d take the apology any time you d like. you might want to listen now,
kind of offramp for that . and that means strong, decisive diplomacy so that we can make sure our needs are taken care of but also we don t push it too far. gordon to that point i heardr a number of commentators on television saying, well, we don t want to push zelenskyy toward a deal that gives putin a win in ukraine that would be catastrophic. is that the right way to look at this ? is that what the united states would be doing if we were urging more serious negotiations than we are? it really depends what the united states would say. the problem here is that russia is breaking down the international order sosi there are all sorts of significant points here that we have yet to really think about. so essentially what we should be doing is we shouldn t be pressuring zelenskyy to caveim in and that s what i m afraid of. if the biden administration actually starts to get really involvedra in these negotiations that bidenknow wants a lot from russia
