laura ingraham. trump thompson, biden bump. that s the focus of tonight s angle. gsh now, just for fun, i went back to read what some of the experts were saying in the weeks and months after the 2020 election. a politico headline blared the day that trump broke the g.o.p. well, it predicted a reckoning over trumpism. and then trump is finally finished the new york times declared triumphantly. okay. surely all those experienced beltway pundits got it right though. the demise of trump and there will be a demise, you got it from me here. the trial alone, even without a conviction, will be enough to end donald trump s political career. moment he is very serious and with president trump you always have to put asterisk on statements like that because he does change his mind. that doesn t mean he will still be here as serious in two years. laura: last night after trump won every super tuesday contest except in the socialist loving open primary state of vermont, they stil
