herschel walker across the line with the general electorate in georgia which sends the message that donald trump is still weak with swing voters in swing states, lost georgia in 2020, and now the senate lost another senate race in 2022 at the same time that state republicans not recruited by donald trump are doing well. it does expose a weakness that donald trump has in swing states that he s going to need to address if he s going to be taken seriously in 2024. you make a distinction between primary voters and general election voters and swing voters. that s a problem for the gop if you have a candidate that s not viable. is he the right person to be at the top of the ticket going forward for the gop nationwide? i think there s a growing group of republicans, myself included there s always been a group of republicans who can t stand donald trump so the fact they don t like him now or think he s the best candidate in 2024
returned. that could be more problematic going forward. i think this is going through the proper procedures, investigated by the fbi in the right fashion and things seem to be moving in the direction they would with any other citizen. let s talk about the fallout from the midterms. republicans lost a crucial senate seat in georgia, i m sure you re aware of that. a total of 14 candidates hand picked by trump lost their elections. was trump the problem? was he a problem for republicans in the midterms? he was a problem in a couple different places. i think more than anything in picking those candidates, trump picked and selected and was a proxy for some really, really bad candidates, people who had not run for office. it s not easy to run for senate, governor, congress. but that being said he wasn t helpful in the general elections. he was able to get herschel walker across the line relatively easily in a primary in georgia because donald trump still has tremendous sway amongst repub
fuentes was the white supremacist. i understand the fund-raiser at mar-a-lago was a fund-raiser to combat human trafficking. that s a defensible thing. it s another side to the story if this was a one-off type of thing. it could be explained on bad staff work, if it was a one-off type of thing. but it seems to happen with president trump more and more. he s a candidate for president right now shouldn t be making these kinds of mistakes. all it does is divide his base, doesn t add anybody to his voting base. there s nobody in the country that said i wasn t supporting donald trump but since he had dinner with a white supremacist i m on his team now. it s slowly eroding his base. you said it s bad for his base but also bad for the republican party because then the republican party it s bad for everybody. it s bad for the country to have any famous politician to say i
zeroing in on two possible motives centered around extremist behavior in the power grid attack in north carolina. and new cnn reporting on the team hired by trump s attorneys and found two more documents marked as classified inside a storage unit in florida that has raised new questions about where else the former president might be keeping documents. mick mulvaney weighs in next. but first, the possible clue in the murder of four university of idaho students. police in moscow say they re looking for a 2011 to 2013 white hyundai elantra and whomever was inside it the night the students were killed. they don t have a license plate number but say it was spotted near the home where the victims were stabbed to death. it is the first major development in the investigation since the november 13th murders. this is a very active case.
and most republican states are winner take all, you can win the domination without winning a majority of the republican primary vote. i think the smart money is he is the nominee. do you think he should be the nominee? no, as i mentioned before, i think he s the weakest can t. we have a strong bench of republicans who i think could win in 24. i think donald trump could lose. if he is, will you support him? no, i m going to support other folks in the primary. no question about that. there are a lot of republicans who are tired of explaining to people why they supported donald trump. we were okay with it when the policies were good. we re tired of supporting why he had dinner with a white supremacist. the baggage is getting heavier and heavier. i m glad you mentioned all that. he called to terminate the constitution, you believe, i assume, that should disqualify
