kagan is calling a second trump term a clear path to dictatorship in the united states. and former speechwriter for george bush david frum said it would instantly put the country in a constitutional crisis. and liz cheney said that if trump wins, he ll never leave. so what is donald trump s response to in? it is not me, but it is president biden that democracy should fear. we go over to kristen holmes, and hearing from liz cheney this morning saying that if you vote for trump, it is the last election you could vote in. so what is this urgency that you are hearing from the republicans? well, if you are talking to the republicans on the campaign trail that i do, it is more and more likely that donald trump is going to be the republican nominee, and what you are seeing is the republicans who are not supporting president trump coming out to talk about what the trump agenda or the second term would look like, and that has been joe biden s biggest argument against another trump t
thank you. that is our show for tonight. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. tonight we are answering a question i ve been wondering about which is how can marco rubio be on the same ticket as donald trump, because the constitution says, i have to say this right, that the electors from a state cannot vote for two candidates who are from the same state. they can only vote for one. it would make little marco move, right? that s the thing, does he have to move? how does the senator from florida moved from florida? is that legal? anyway, we need an election lawyer to figure this out for us. i just don t understand how they can be talking about rubio as if that is some sort of easy choice to make. i m glad you are getting to the bottom of this. that is quite the pretzel twist. i will be watching. presidential campaign debates were invented by and for tv. 1960 wasn t just the first televised presidential debate, it was the first. george washing
