With him, period, just be with him. but i think there is something kind of unique about lindsey graham, unfortunately, for both of them. you know, that bit you played with lindsey graham asking for $1 or a prayer for donald trump, you know, begging, literally begging people to send $1 for donald trump. and what i was thinking as i heard, he sounds like a televangelist. you know, one of these guys on tv begging people to send the last dollar they have to support, in this case, donald trump. and it is such a weak moment. it is so weakening to see that from lindsey graham. and i think that s what makes it so easy for trump supporters to cut gram loose regardless of donald trump. they see trump as a strong man, as a guy who is gonna beat them all. after all, the government is coming after trump so that they can get to his supporters. and trump is the strong man who is protecting them, you know, ....
It s important remember, we have not in the modern primary era seen a scenario in which most of the people who are voting this primary have already voted for this guy for president, right? these are already trump voters. he s just trying to get them to vote for him one more time. they appear very willing to do so. this goes back to the conversation we were just having. one of the foundational crazies of the trump administration was when he was on the patio in mar-a-lago and something happened to north korea. i believe it was a prime minister of japan was there. he s talking about in front of all the people who are dining at mar-a-lago. this is a big deal. march 2017, we knew this was his approach. his supporters knew at that time that was a way which he handled national security. no one cared. he got more votes in 2020 that he did in 2016. that was carried over. there is nothing that has happened that is not going to happen that is going to change that. we will see if that holds up. ....
I hope so. i hope so. because if mike pence does the right thing, we win the election. the republicans have to get tougher. you are not going to have a republican party if you don t get tougher. when you catch somebody in broad, you are allowed to go by very different rules. so, i hope mike has the courage to do what he has to do. i hope he doesn t listen to the rhinos and the stupid people that he s listening to. shortly after that speech, an armed mob chanted to hang mike pence, a sentiment donald trump reportedly supported, which may explain why trump pence has cooperated with jack smith s investigation into january 6th, but it is not clear if governor d.c. has done the same. as the post reports, in one conversation with the donor earlier this year, to see questioned why smith had not yet interviewed him. quote, juicy told the donor, he was surprised that special counsel jack smith s team had not inquired about his phone calls with trump and pence as part of the justice ....
that seems to me to be the critical point. like, it is an opportunity if you actually could hold his or any number of these candidates, feet to the fire, imagine this policy issues and i think they ve actually said. anything they ve actually done. if you can bring their records, you know, to wear against them when they lied about the records, you can do any of that. that might be interesting. but that s not gonna happen. republicans won t let that happen. so it doesn t matter actually. i think michele is right. there is no actual reason for trump to do it. it was gonna be people pretending to fight with him when they don t have the stones to fight with him. and, again, he s just gonna have an opportunity to light some more without fact-checking. i just can t imagine anything that happens on that stage, whether he is there or not is going to move the needle on that party at all. michelle goldberg, let s look at the list of people who have qualified so far for the first republi ....
