about the party, but about the institutions? the infrastructure of the party itself that you have them, a few days out from the debate, begging him to be onstage. that it is trump s party. all of these candidates, you know, about four of the candidates running for president now in the republican side have been critical of trump and all of the things he s done including trying to overturn the will of the american public and also withhold classified documents and obstruct justice. only four of them have. but it is still trump s party. it is still a party run by the maga wing of the trump republican party. think about, this pledge that the rnc is trying to get them all to take, chris christie basically said, sure, i will try to send a pledge, but i m not going to abide by it. so, what does that even mean, right? it is still a party that is dominated and run by trump, run a mcdaniel knows, that i think. people going to the bag on wednesday know that. jen, can i ask you a slightly broad
he s done including trying to overturn the will of the american public and also withhold classified documents and obstruct justice. only four of them have. but it is still trump s party. it is still a party run by the maga wing of the trump republican party. think about, this pledge that the rnc is trying to get them all to take, chris christie basically said, sure, i will try to send a pledge, but i m not going to abide by it. so, what does that even mean, right? it is still a party that is dominated and run by trump, run a mcdaniel knows, that i think. people going to the bag on wednesday know that. jen, can i ask you a slightly broader question about how the rest of the media should cover what happens on wednesday night? because i am looking at it in the context of this week. donald trump is not going to be there, thursday morning donald trump is supposed to be turning himself over, or surrendering himself to the district attorney in georgia. that is going to suck a lot of the win
