their audience is expecting, how much they can afford to get on donald trump s bad side, because we know that trump hates to be ignored, it s really interesting to see all of that play out, and it matters a great deal, because the fox audience is the one that s most trapped by the lies about the election, which, you know, have been so problematic and damaging to our democracy. fair. you mention the lies and when lies turn into fraud, which i want to go to the professor on. a trump lawyer write about how at the time they secretly viewed their own plan as false or fraudulent. they referred to sending in fake electoral votes to mike pence so someone would make an objection. these are any emails obtained by the new york times. other evidence showing those people, eastman and giuliani, knew the elector fraud was a
from the republican establishment, that this is somebody we think we can control, a better bet, fresh and new, and is not going to have the baggage trump has. the issue with trump isn t what he did, it s their fear that trump could lose. that has always been their guiding idea, and i think they worry that donald trump is a goner in another election, and somebody like ron desantis could be brought in and replace him very, very easily. right, and to your point, donald trump got fewer votes in 16. he got fewer votes in 20. he has proved resilient in many ways, i think viewers know, but the notion everything that s going on is going to somehow miraculously make him not the same, but bet derr he would have to increase his popularity and appeal in vote total. if you rerun the biden/trump election, he lost. who believed that? none other than ron desantis. take a look.
about why they wanted to stop those kind of maga attacks on trump democracy and the loss after the insurrection. but we have the receipts from those you see on your screen today, including senator graham, a loyal trump supporter then criticized what trump was leading on the insurrection on the night of january 6th. but now as he faces legal pressure to testify in georgia for his own role in helping a trump effort that he claimed was over when he gave his famous enough is enough speech after trump fans stormed the capitol, clambering to kill mike pence. i hope he runs again. if you think trump is bad for the party, i disagree with you. i think president trump is good for the party. [ cheers and applause ] all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. it is over. i ve travelled the world with joe. i hoped he lost.
on trump through what we know to be his key mouthpieces like the new york post , which is part of the fox news parent company there, saying that the silence by trump was damning on the 6th. or the wall street journal, so influential in right-wing politics and business, turning on trump as well. meanwhile, there s something else going on on fox, because this isn t just about assessing the evidence. nobody really thinks that. certainly not over there. it may be that going negative on trump fits the desire to go positive for ron desantis. desantis leads the former president in all age groupings. then there is the university of new hampshire poll in june. desantis actually led trump, 39-37. and that the new york times sienna college poll we cited a few times, less than half of republican voters backed donald trump as their preferred choice.
thinking moment. he said that to her in open court. we were there. we have noted that that was really a public display of chastising the district attorney. her camp has said that was a fundraiser for the primary election not the election against bert jones but a lot of people here in the state agreeing with the judge, what were you thinking? this is a high profile investigation. she is an elected democratic official and said she s doing these two things separately. i don t expect her to hold another fundraiser for charlie bailey in the future. patricia and john, thanks to both of you. turning on trump, the wall street journal and the new york post condemning trump s inaction during the capitol riot. the searing editorials these are rupert murdoch papers. is he turning on the former president? and pope francis is in canada on an apology tour. who he is meeting with next. only two things are forever: love and liberty mutual customizing your car insurance,
