Political Pundits

The president has effectively admitted tonight that he is not up to both campaigning for president and being president.

The Supreme Court just handed a license for lawlessness to whoever happens to be in the Oval Office.

If he can do it, everybody is going to calm down and get back to work. If you can't do it, we've got a problem.

What we haven't seen from him is that big heart, that big empathy, and his ability to see it across the table from Donald Trump.

But just don't forget, his base expects him to go out there for and whip some butt, and the expectations for Trump are so higher.

I think he is going to do the right thing. His great strength is empathy. He deeply cares about ordinary people and he's a proud man.

I strongly reject the ad hominem attack. We can disagree on this, but you're not going to call me a book burner on TV.

But I don't -- I don't necessarily think teaching basic, fundamental values of western civilization is in congruent or in opposition to also having quality education in a school system.

I'm in it for you. That's very different than saying he's a crooked, he's a crooked, which he is.

I think they certainly fly with the people who show up at those rallies. And that's why he's doing it. I mean, the polling is pretty clear that most people thought the trial was fair and also politically motivated. And that the jury…

He accuses American law enforcement, Department of Justice, American law enforcement prosecutors of being massive criminals.

You have Joe Biden standing there in the great tradition of the American people defending freedom on the world stage.

It's just too much. And so it's -- you have -- you ever revolt inside the Democratic Party, that's mainly revolt of the center saying, we'd literally cannot -- 15 House Democrats saying, we can't take anymore.

The reality is, Republican to have a strategy here. They scream fire at the border, they spread the fire around by shipping migrants all over to blue cities, and then when somebody tries to bring a fire hose, like Biden, they step on the…

I think Biden did fine today, because he's defend - Biden should defend American institutions. He should defend that jury, defend the judges, defend the witnesses. He should defend American institutions and then move on to talk about the…

This was not the strong case. This is not a Donald Trump leading an insurrection against democracy. This is not Donald Trump stealing sensitive documents, that if I had stolen in the White House, I'd be in Guantanamo.

There's no chance the Republican Party is going to walk away from Donald Trump here.

I just think the Biden people need it to be real careful about playing into Trump's hand.

I think there's a real chance here. Its going to massively backfire on the Democrats and helped Donald Trump.

Every Republican in the country is madder than a wet hen. I mean, people who are decidedly not MAGA, not Trump fans are blowing up tonight saying this case never should have been brought, this is ridiculous charges. It was egregious use of…

I think they should both be worried about it. There was a Cook Political Report survey of the swing states this week and it showed RFK pulling a little more from Biden. It was like four to three, so obviously, both campaigns have something…

You have to take stuff like this very, very seriously. Because when you normalize hatred, when you normalize contempt for democracy, when you normalize playing footsie with extremist elements, dangerous elements, violent elements, that…

I have been using this phrase, slow moving coup. Since before Trump was elected the first time, before he even got elected, I said, this is a slow moving coup.

The old line was always Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line. And they always did. They always, they fall in line before behind their candidate. And now they found a candidate who is a cult leader.
