#NBCNews #Trump #Republicans
Desantis is a FASCIST!
Chris Christie is the ONLY republican I would ever even consider voting for. I would vote for Biden but almost if the other Republicans are a disaster.
In the Federal ethics code it states to avoid even the APPEARANCE of impropriety. Let alone doing actual crimes. So by Federal ethics, trump is a nonstarter. That is unless you don’t care about ethical behavior; then trump is your guy.
I don’t imagine Trump in prison XD XD XD….making a line to eat, or being in isolation most likely, the guy is like the american ”Chapo Guzman” or something XD XD XD…All he needs to do is have the chance to speak to somebody he would try to ask him to pay a contractor to build a tunnel to get him out of prison, with all the money he has…..ha ha ha….I’m curious, once in jail they should make an extensive and super interesting report shedding some light about how do they keep enemies of the state like the american spy traitor from the 90’s who is serving a life sentence right now, nobody talks about that anymore, I have no idea in what prison he’s at,….yeah! that would be very interesting 😁
The poor poor Republican Party!
I’m a U.S. army vet. I’m going to vote for Trump just because the Democrats are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
At least with Trump he is too dumb to not hide what he wants to do.
At least with that you can fight back against what you don’t like…because you know what’s coming.
With the democrats they lie so well by the time you figure out they had lied to you they entertain more ways as to why their your friend.
Definitely confuses those who don’t stare at politics all day.
He’s military his name is Chris. And he he double crossed me. He is an employee of Trump
Or Biden, nevertheless he has my boat trailer. It was a set up . And he should be subpoenaed by the grand jury
Your propaganda hate speech has caused dessention violence and even death and you will be held accountable.
They are the reason I am afraid to be here. Please call the police now.?
“Fine piece of 🥩 meat”? Got it
US msm still talking about Republicans like they aren’t now just MAGA terrorists who are a major threat to Democracy
IT’S NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL GUYS
Which poll is she referring to where the people favored Biden over Trump? How did we just roll over that??
The Republiclowns have done this to themselves. They had their chance after 2 well deserved impeachments but chickened out.
Sad so many people are brain washed by the leftest media that are Biden puppets. They to are corrupt along with the evil regime Machine..the media cover stories for Biden’s bribery crimes they get from our enemies. Truth is democracy is at risk..and America won’t be free Marxism at it finest.
A FBI allegation killed Hillary Clinton’s campaign, an indictment and or conviction should make Trump toast. ❤
The orange one and his participation trophy rebellion and with thei political auto-erotic exphiciation contest being performed at the state and federal does nothing for me
Republicans are toast.
My cat has more leadership and courage than Ron Desatan. Yes… I said cat because my cat is the leader of my pets. Desatan is more of a sniveling little rat.
Is it just me or does anyone else think Chuck Rocha is channeling James Carville? And doing a really good job of it at that…😅
That’s a good point and a campaign point —- if the republican candidates don’t have the spine to stand up against thump, they similarly cannot stand up to other world leaders Erdogan, Putin, or any others; THUS THE REPUBLICANS CANNOT BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY!!!!! They are a lawless party.
Well its almost certainly Trump. Desantis needs to get a job with Disney as Goofy at the park.
President Trump is not controlled by Soros money, like Puppet Joe and these corporate media shills.
DeSatan doesn’t like people. And he can’t even fake it.
You know that Trump voters think he is a victim of the State, so he doesn’t have to
prove anything , they will vote for him anyway.
Donald Trump’s own words if you take the fifth you’re guilty, governor of state of Michigan said the same thing over the water incident. So it shows me their Republican slide cheat and murder people and expect to get away with it.
Republicans need to figure out how to remove Trump as the nominee even if he wins…..
Kind of like Jan 6th in reverse 😂😂😂
“barbara comstock”
fascist
Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery. They put the scenery up on the mountains so you can see more of it all at once. I’m would like to say I’m sorry you got cold, but it was 91°, real feel 100°, in South Largo.😅 today.
I lived in Washington state for 40 years and was in Alaska three times. The inland passage was wonderful.
If you are able to spend time in the Northwest I highly recommend the North Cascade Highway. North Cascades National park is on this road. It isn’t very developed, but there are trails that scoots could manage.
The best part is that you travel through coastal, alpine, mesic and dry site ponderosa pine forest in four hours.
At the end of the drive is Winthrop Washington, which is a western theme town.
Thanks again for sharing your travels.
Only if they let him out of prison in Georgia! 🤣
The candidate is the issue… how about the fascism? Nobody can be popular with that agenda.
The Trump administration failed the covid-19
The Trump administration felda covid-19 they’ll 8000 of people off a cruise ship when they shouldna they shoulda let them stay there they was already on vacation The shootist a on the cruise ship until we came up with the vaccine Trump ministration cause thousand of life the Trump administration is the cause of hundreds of life he fail once he they will do again you agree agree 👍👍👍💯💯💯
VOTE BLUE for Joe and let’s continue to grow!!!
If he’s the best they’ve got, sad. Very sad.
*It is very important to keep this fact in mind… There is not one single Republican candidate that is an honest or decent enough person to put into the White House! Not a single candidate!*
*Every single Republican candidate is defective in some way. Every one is a fascist! Every single one of them wants to put forth cruel, disgusting, harmful, selfish, despicable legislation!*
*Not a single Republican candidate actually cares about the average American! Every single Republican candidate only cares about rich people being made even richer at the expense of us!*
*These ideals seem to be a requirement for being a Republican! Also, every Republican candidate is an election denier and a traitor supporter! Those things alone should disqualify them!*
Let me preface my comment by saying I can’t stand DeSantis and I think inflicting a DeSantis presidency on the electorate is the worst possible thing we could do to the country (possibly worse than Trump). But folks are not paying attention to what DeSantis is trying to do and if people don’t wise up, he may just become the nominee. In the coming weeks we will begin to see more of the DeSantis campaign efforts – dog whistle ads, provocative statements, provocative endorsements – directed toward the fringe, namely the Christian White Nationalists – it is they, not Trump, who control the MAGA base, and if they start a drumbeat for DeSantis, the MAGA crowd may likely follow. The DeSantis campaign is running on a platform I call the New McCarthyism featuring attack and hate rhetoric that we’re going to be hearing from DeSantis over the next several months. Do not underestimate how effective that can be. I fear we’re going to stumble into the same s__t show that we had in 2016.
What the panelists don’t see is that the trial IS turdrump’s campaign for his rabid followers, which will be used to reinforce the magat’s assertion that the DOJ is weaponized against their unfairly prosecuted great leader.
Where is Liz ?
Are all these anti-republican, pro-democrat broadcaters going to report these shows as campaign contributions?
The Media carries the water for the democrats.
Yes!!! Trump is breaking up the Republican party into MAGA and Republicans. Trump is going to win the primary and lose the general election. Trump has a state trial in New York for pornstar Stormy Daniels hush money. Trump is going to have a state trial in Georgia for trying to overthrow the state election. Trump has a federal trial in Florida for classified documents. Trump going to have a federal trial in Washington DC for January 6th. God is good. I prayed to God to have Trump arrested multiple times and to go to multiple trials. And all trials right before the November 5th election day. Which trial is going to get Trump convicted before November 5th election!!! 😂🤣😅👻😸😹😻🦇💩🤡🇺🇸🇲🇽🏳️🌈🦄🍆🍑
Trump can run like Eugene Debs in 1920.
GOP should sit this one out. Say an act of contrition. Write some sensible policy. Let go the Kultur Wars.
What do parties look like in future generations? The GQP is extinct. It’s between corporates vs. progressives. Rich vs. Poor as it has always been.
*Go after the churches radicalizing the people, remove their tax exempt status.*
Right now literally half of the republicans have sold their soul to the devil. They lost several cycles of elections supporting Trump, now they stand to lose more…
They should put their thinking cap on. Dumping trump is the best they can do. However, with guy like McConnel this is not likely!!!
unfortunately, trump has the people he needs, in a few key states, to make sure he “wins”…this country is doomed….the election will be stolen, by republicans…it’s already been decided…and NOTHING will stop it…trumps first act will be to declare martial law to stomp out any and all protests, then he will pardon himself, his entire family, and all the JAN6 insurrectionists…then he declare himself president for life…who’s going to stop him????…not republicans, not the extreme court, not the military…it’s all over folks.
The money means nothing in this case. A Trumper is a Trumper. He has their vote now whether or not he spends money on a campaign. He could murder someone on video & he’d still have their vote because they’re brainwashed.
America needs to start running documentaries on Hitler and his followers giving him the salute.. to prove how lies can take on a life of its own to deceive a nation..
Disney and Bud light, Florida is doomed!
The RNC is controlled by Trumpers who will ensure he is the nominee. This will ensure a Biden win probably by an even larger margin than last time. If Joe dies or is incapacitated before the election, Trump will probably win. God Bless Amerikkka.
No going back was 7 years ago.
Trump, as an insurrectionist, is CONSTITUTIONALLY INELIGIBLE to serve in civil office ever again per section 3 of the 14th Amendment. His candidacy is MOOT. Sure, he can run a campaign if he wants to, but it would be UNLAWFUL for him to be inaugurated if he managed to win.
Trumps plan in a nutshell, keep up the stolen election lie, so it’ll be fresh in people’s minds, the investigations are getting too much, announce a Presidential run right away, and the investigations will stop. Plan A failed, Investigations still going on, Plan B, entangle investigations in politics, say its election interference, say that they’re out to get me. People he’s running from the law, he’s not running for President.
The Republican “Party” has been a terrorist organization for a very long time.
If ever a human being needed to go to Jail, it’s the Orange Boy.
The insanity of a gop candidate, refusing to accept defeat, and repeating the desire to be dictator, is all that the gop has to offer?
Trump.. Trump… Trump. Isn’t Joe prez?
Like I say, if the GOP had any foresight, they would jump behind Christie and get themselves out of the corner. It’s not about whether or not he could win, it’s about gettin out from under 45’s thumb.
Echoes of Carville from Carlos Rocha. Keep it up!
These people are just nothing but rhinos
We love Trump.
Gone are the times when no matter what political affiliation you are, you could at least depend on that even if you don’t agree with the political views of the apposing party, you could be sure that the basic functions of government would remain intact. The GOP has dropped the responsibility ball.
It really would be beneficial for this country if every voter would vote for with morals, ethics and integrity as a priority instead of a political party. Vote for what is best for the American people and this magnificent country instead of GOP party with 134 politicians who publicly refuse to back our Constitution and Democracy
There’s a very real chance the next President will either be in the middle of a criminal trial or a convicted criminal. One of the few true things President Very Stable Genius has said is that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and not lose any supporters. All the MAGA voters think these indictments are witch hunts and will show up at the polls and vote for him no matter what. Only with a massive turnout by Democrats and sane Independents and Republicans can the country defeat him by the usual razor thin margin in a few key swing states.
I too was lucky enough to have spent 4 years on Elmendorf AFB. I too went to that elementary school. What a great place and some of the best memories. Thanks Lester.
WOW!! Who is this Queen of Light Barbara Comstock!!? She lays DeSantis “LoW”!! Deathspiral could be his nickname!! More BARBARA please!!!
VP Harris should be doing more Rallies on Behalf of Biden.
Ron DeSantis has the same charisma as roadkill and the likability of chlamydia
…The problem with this is you’re basically telling the people think what we think or else…yeah have you met Americans? Stick to your collegiate safe spaces…
Maybe the Democrats campaign slogan should focus on “vote Biden if you’re sick of living in this nightmare”.
You are the company you keep. The GOP deserves everything they get!
Mr. Nobles committed a slip of the tongue. He said that Trump may have wrapped up the required number of “electoral votes” to get the nomination by May 20, 2024. He meant to say “delegate votes.” I mention that because it could be confusing to Americans who are not well-versed in the political system or viewers from around the world who thought they knew how things work and then hear something that was not part of what they learned about the USA from a news show in their country or a textbook on international politics they read in school.
As for DeSantis’s problems: they fall into two broad areas. 1) The majority of Americans do not want their lives dominated by the issues that DeSantis is talking about, namely the divisive culture war wedge issues, intended to paint half of their fellow citizens as good guys and the other half as bad guys. And the percentages matter: When someone like Bernie (or FDR back in the day) go after a group of Americans, it’s a group of 1%, not 50%, and it’s a matter of economics. 2) He is “Lucifer in the Flesh” 2.0, an even meaner and nastier version of Ted Cruz.
I am against voting for a candidate for his entertainment value, just like I would be against choosing the CEO of a corporation for his/her entertainment value. Since 1980, that’s what we’ve been doing, choosing a charming grandpa over a more qualified and experienced policy wonk and his VP. It wasn’t “morning in America.” Reagan just convinced us with his charm that it was. More and more after him it was important for voters to see GHW be folksy, Clinton play the saxophone and be hip, Dubya be laid back and folksy, Obama tell jokes and play basketball and Trump do his lounge act. Even Biden can hardly start a sentence without saying, “Folks,…”
Voting based on personality and charisma sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It’s kind of 50-50. I never understood why voters stated that they voted for Dubya because they didn’t want to have to watch Gore sound preachy on TV day after day. Well, if you didn’t want to see Emeril and you did want to see _Golden Girls_ reruns back then, you picked up your remote control and clicked. You can do the same thing with your president.
Having said that, there is no escaping that the candidate’s personality DOES make a difference, and DeSantis is right up there with Cruz for the Lucifer in the Flesh Award. As was pointed out, he doesn’t act like he likes people. He merely tolerates them when he has to, and they’d better be good little lackeys for him. (Remember the kids who wore masks behind him either because their parents wanted them to or they chose to, while he was signing a bill supposedly supporting kids? And he claims to be for parents’ and individual rights? Yeah, except when the optics of exercising those rights clash with his political agenda. Can’t you hear him screaming at aides, “They were supposed to be props, like the American flag, making me look good, not bad! Next time, frisk them for masks.”)
May his campaign soon rest in peace, and may some other less megalomaniacal candidate emerge from the pack, if there are any.
Gotta hand it to Christie. He hasn’t got a chance, but he’s having a wonderful time kicking Trump repeatedly and getting away with it.
What if the GOP candidate is found guilty of insurrection?
But they love Trump; he is their God; why would they change?
Hey Bobbi Jhindal. We’re you at 😂😂😂😂😂
Republicans have been welcoming and recruiting racist right wing working class conservative Americans for over 50 years now. Trumps 2016 election has already proven the GOP have passed the point of no return . With the GOP US Chamber of Commerce’ Powell memorandum , scam Neoliberalism capitalism and the GOPs Southern strategy the GOP have along with a fake opposition Third way controlled DNC also destroyed and taken American democracy past the point of no return .
The key to voting is knowing WHO you’re voting for across THE Board !!! Not just Presidents!!! It is the LAWMAKERS who we currently have the LAWMAKERS who are against the people against for the people against Democracy are the ones we also Need to be Voted Out!!! All across the board STATE, HOUSE and SENATE!!! Against DEMOCRACY against the American people all need to be voted out!!!!
It was a great conversation. Keep it up…
Donald is running for prez as a fundraising ploy
Trump is hoovering up all the small dollar donations and it is going to his legal fees which is why so many Republican organizations are broke and will continue to have money troubles in 2024.
Fake charges from fake democrats
As a Democrat I love the circular firing squad that is the Republican Party combined with their death spiral. Question is, when will the spiral become a plumet to a messy splat? At the end of the day, it does not matter what any other person does, Trump has a majority of the primary voters. He will win at least 30% of primary voters if not more and that is more than enough to crush the other Republicans. Perhaps if Republicans fail to win back the White House, the Senate and lose the House to the Democrats in a large margin they will get a clue. Ironically I do not see them getting a clue and changing their ways because at the end of the day, the MAGAt Republicans that are costing Republicans elections, like Trump, MTG are in safe Republican districts with an electorate that is ignorant which means they have nothing to lose. The ones that will lose their seats are those who won in Biden districts or marginal Trump districts.
Think! Trump is a loser. He Lost the House , the Senate, and the Presidency. All in just ONE term. That’s a record only idiots are proud of. Find someone else.
I call this BULL. Like the 2016 all the news services can do it talk about Trump, Trump, Trump. Free publicity worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The news services don’t talk about the other candidates because Trump has sucked all the air out of the room. If Trump is a Billionaire why does he need anyone to send him money for his campaign or Lawyers? As I hear it, Trump still owes cities across the nation that hosted his rallies in the 2016 election.
Come early next year, you’re going to start hearing thousands of “No comments”s from a whole full roster of important Republicans when asked anything at all about Trump, starting with Mitch McConnell, of course, and including RNC chair Ronna McDaniel and most of the GOP presidential candidates. It’s going to be a long and seemingly endless stream of “No comment” comments as they prepare to “support the nominee of my party.”
Where is her brain ??? Con man don’t need to spend $$$, kiss a$$ networks will do the advertising for him free of charge
Why are Hispanics flirting with fascist Republicanism ?
“Tied with a cord of steel for all time.”
The banana is rotten and will bring down the repubs
no going forward either
I’m still in shock that Trump is the GOP’s likely nominee. It just seems so demented.
All this could’ve been avoided if the GOP senators had decided to convict him at the impeachment trial
Savanna Guthrie on today Busted Joe Biden and Hunter wide open on their corruption Joe got mad
Can a foreigner donate to a campaign in America?
They think he’s going to pay his lawyers?
Why do you think the Marxist left timed it that way. Exactly like communist China
Trump/Desantis/Republicans = ☠
