Political Pundits

I think if you're going to indict the President, you better be able to convict the President and that is what I would suggest that the District Attorney look deep in the mirror and ask himself that question.

His numbers and his connection with Republicans is vastly different than anybody Trump faced before.

I think as a Republican. I know what will happen if we nominate Donald Trump again.

I think the message he has been running on, you know, we've had one test case for it and it seemed to work.

I think you've got this lumbering lounge act of Donald Trump doing his greatest hits over and over again, and somehow that still has massive appeal.

Listen to Van tonight. He's already describing Ron DeSantis as worse than Donald Trump, that's going to be the case for any nominee.

Yes, he does reflect the attitude of the party right now and the anger about certain things. But there's real concern that he can't beat Joe Biden, because we know we already lost to him.

I think the core difference you're going to see unfold over the next few months is Trump on this vengeance tour. He wants to go out and get the people who he thinks persecuted him, and I think where DeSantis is laser focused is on trying…

I can factually tell you tonight, it will be impossible to ever know the true, fair, accurate election results.

Electronic voting machines didn't allow people to vote apparently and that, whatever you think of it, the cause of it, it shakes people's faith in the system. That is an actual threat to democracy.

He is the central witness in an effort to overturn the US election and overthrow the US government.

I mean, I don't think he wants Mike Pence to go tell anybody how he tried to pressure him into subverting the US Constitution.

I think if he runs and we nominate Trump, he's probably going to win again.

The American people don't want him to run. There are serious reservations about reelecting a president who will be 86 years old at the end of the next term.

If everything is going great, and he is doing everything bipartisan, and everything he says is true, why do you think it is that after everything we've seen out of Trump, which admittedly, some of which is really terrible. He is beating…

Sixty percent of the American people think he has done very little, 60 percent of his own party doesn't even want him to run again.

But we should not treat Biden, inappropriately harshly, to justify treating Trump appropriately, harshly.

Well, I'm proud of Joe Biden. He -- somebody on his team made a mistake. And, as soon as he figured, it out, raised his hand, turned the stuff back over. That's what you're supposed to do.

Why is it when something happens to Joe Biden, it's able to hold, inside these agencies, for a couple of months? When something happens to Donald Trump, we know about it within five minutes?

I think classified material ought to be taken care of. And I think people, who've been all over Donald Trump, about this, ought to have the wherewithal, to be all over Joe Biden, about it too.

This is - the political usefulness, of this, for the Republicans, as people attack Donald Trump, about his issues? I get it. And they're not the same. And yes, there'll be conflation here. But the political usefulness of this cannot be…

You know, honestly, if he had any shred of self-integrity, you know, he would bow out because he made up a whole story, sold it to the voters, and he got elected.

It does add, obviously to Donald Trump's ongoing political woes, because it's a few more rocks, in his own bags as well that he's dragging around, as he tries to get his campaign off the ground.

I think it is a reminder to Republicans, that if we nominate him, for a third time, just how much harder it's going to be, to beat the numbers he got in the last two elections.
