Democrats COVER UP "Election Autopsy" Fearing It Will END THE PARTY

Tim Pool exposes Democratic internal fractures, revealing officials dejected over withholding a 2024 election autopsy report while fighting over Hassan Piker's campaign eligibility. He blames Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for losses exacerbated by insufficient opposition to Israel, noting polls show a minus 28 favorability spread versus Republicans' minus 15.4. Pool critiques candidates like Graham Plattner for praising Hamas and highlights lawsuits alleging vote suppression, arguing the party's split on transgender policies and foreign wars alienates moderates. Ultimately, this disarray suggests Democrats cannot rally support in 2028, leaving Republicans like JD Vance poised to exploit the lowest common denominator. [Automatically generated summary]

Democrats Withhold Election Autopsy 00:08:21
tim pool
The Democratic Party is fried.
They are dejected, broken.
We don't know if they're going moderate, if they're going to go far left.
Right now, they're fighting over whether or not Hassan Piker should be allowed to campaign with candidates.
And the big story is that the 2024 election autopsy, where Democratic officials broke down exactly how it is they've lost, is being withheld.
That's right.
Democrats are saying release the information.
Let us know before the midterms what we did wrong.
And they won't release it.
But we are getting a glimpse of exactly what went down.
And there are a handful of issues that played a role in why Democrats lost.
Most of which is Kamala Harris is awful and so is Joe Biden.
And they probably should have had a real primary.
But unsurprising to probably anyone paying attention to politics, Israel is one of the principal issues.
The progressive left bailed from the Democratic Party because they would not come out strongly enough against Israel.
And in support of Palestine, despite the fact many Democrats actually did.
So I wonder is the reason why Democratic leadership won't release this info because it is staunchly anti Israel?
Well, aside from this, there are many in the Democratic Party that maintain Donald Trump stole the election.
The thing is, the corporate press isn't giving as much air to this theory as they did when Trump supporters claimed it was stolen from Trump.
Well, to be fair, Trump also took all the air out of the room, screaming the election was stolen and still does.
So, right now, you've got many prominent liberals, well, I shouldn't say prominent, but active online liberals, maintaining that something doesn't quite make sense with the 2024 election.
To be fair, the more prominent liberals, as I should say, are pushing back on this because it's not productive to actually winning.
Right now, we don't know exactly what's going to happen in the midterms, but it's looking like Democrats are going to win.
However, does that mean there will be a unified Democratic Party?
It doesn't.
And while Donald Trump's favorability in polls may be low, the Democratic Party is polling worse than the Republican Party.
So if everybody's basing the midterms off of what we think of Trump, which I think makes sense, then yeah, Democrats are probably going to sweep.
But there are some that are pushing back.
Some argue that, look, Donald Trump isn't going to represent the entirety of the party.
Republicans might actually win if they can get the turnout, considering Democrats are suffering a major, historic favorability low.
Probably has something to do with their wackaloon policies, which could be why they won't release the autopsy.
I'm going to tell you this, my friends.
I do not believe that the principal issue is just Israel.
I think it plays a role.
But many people have already just said, what do you mean the Democrats have been staunchly anti Israel?
They've not come out in support of them.
There must be something else.
Indeed, my friends, I'd posit weird woke policies have resulted in moderates breaking from the Democratic Party.
So the question is this Will Joe Rogan vote Democrat?
That's the question.
Joe specifically, because he kind of represents the everyman, the middle of the road.
I don't know, and I don't literally mean Joe Rogan, but the people who watch his videos.
Are they going to decide that Trump is so bad they should go vote Democrat right now?
I gotta be honest, I don't think so.
If ever there was a time for the Mises Caucus libertarians to actually win some congressional seats, this might be it.
Because what we're seeing in the polling, especially among millennials and younger, is that they're breaking from both parties.
The Republicans can't cut it, the Democrats can't cut it.
So, what happens in this midterm if middle of the road voters don't actually swing for Democrats?
All that's gonna matter is voter turnout.
Now, some have said, Tim, have you ever asked yourself why it is Trump's not worried about the midterms?
Could it be he has a plan that you should trust?
Sure, whatever.
Now, I got to be honest, I'm not entirely excited about Republicans winning either.
I mean, it's better than Democrats, but what are they going to do?
Have they been particularly effective in the past year or so?
unidentified
Not really.
tim pool
So I guess it's fair to say it's better the Republicans win the Democrats, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Let's read this news, my friends, and get into exactly what's going on.
And I want to show you all the social media posts from the Democrats who think the election was stolen.
It's hilarious.
Before we do, however, go to wallet.rumble.com, scan the QR code.
Wait, it's over there, not there.
And download the Rumble wallet.
What is it?
It is a non custodial crypto app for your phone.
What that means is if you want to pay your buddies, you want to trade some crypto or whatever, you use this app to do it.
It makes it really, really easy.
Here's the thing it's non custodial.
What does that mean?
It means you can't be banned from it.
So let's say Rumble just really doesn't like you and you've got Bitcoin, Tether, and Tether Gold on this app.
They can't ban you from it.
It's yours.
It's your money.
It's your account.
It's your address.
There's nothing they can do to stop it.
That's been the play with Rumble the whole time, allowing you to operate independently from these big tech systems, which I guarantee you are still censoring everybody, and they will come back with a vengeance if Democrats actually win.
Right now, it's widely believed that mass censorship is going on because they want to manipulate the election.
In fact, I actually got an email from the Google Ads team specifically about the elections and their policies.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Dirty games will be played.
So go to wallet.rumble.com, pick it up.
Let's take a look at the news.
So this is from NBC.
DNC chair Ken Martin told party officials he planned to release some of the results, sources said, but more than a dozen Democrats said they wanted to see the full scope of the problem.
Let's start here.
What do I mean with the Democratic Party being dead?
Okay, it's a little hyperbolic.
They function, okay?
There is still leadership.
There's a mechanism behind them, but they are massively divided.
You've got the progressives, the Hassan Piker types, the corporate Dems.
They don't get along.
The only thing they can agree on is Orange Man bad.
Well, that's not going to rally people in a midterm.
Maybe, maybe people will say, we want some kind of policies to curtail the Trump administration.
Do you really think that if you vote Democrat, they'll stop foreign war?
That's what really gets me about the Iran war.
People are like, you know, Trump, he betrayed us.
He went to war.
I was like, oh, an American president started a war in the Middle East.
Surprise, surprise.
No, don't get me wrong.
I didn't want this.
I didn't vote for it.
It happened.
We'll see how it plays out.
Trump saying things are wrapping up again.
So I'm not a big fan of these interventions.
That being said, if you came to me and said any president you vote for is going to start a war in the Middle East, I'd be like, yeah, probably.
You know, Trump was a little bit better in a lot of things, particularly with domestic policy.
So I'll take it.
I think shutting USAID was a good thing.
Now, here's what matters.
Will this be enough to get people to come and vote in the midterms?
To be honest, right now, the sentiment is massive.
People are pissed about the war in Iran.
If Trump doesn't get a handle on this one, then yeah, people right now are motivated.
But will that motivation last until November?
Probably not.
Guys, we're talking about what, six and a half months?
It's a half year, and that is an eternity in politics.
For all we know, in three months, Donald Trump does a stimulus package, pays everybody a bunch of money with his name on it.
And then they all celebrate and say, let's vote for this guy.
For all we know, that Trump comes with some executive order blocking a bunch of Democrat strategies for the election, and then they win de facto.
For all we know, a month before the election, Donald Trump says, I'm going to give everybody $10,000, $10,000.
It's good money.
You'll be yours.
But only if the Republicans can pass the legislation come January 5th, which means you better vote Republican.
Take a look at this from Real Clear Polling.
Democrats' current spread is minus 20.
The latest poll from CNN is minus 28.
Holy jeez.
Minus 28 for Democrats.
Five Points Down in Polls 00:02:58
tim pool
Yowza.
Now, when we take a look at the Republican Party favorability, they're at minus 15.4.
Not good either.
Everybody hates the Republican and Democratic Party, but hey, man, that's like five points.
Okay, it's 4.6 points, but that's like five points.
The latest poll from CNN has Republicans minus 23.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Emerson in November had them tie.
Can you believe it?
There was a period where Republicans were almost enjoying net positive favorability despite doing nothing.
That's incredible.
Well, here's what we got from Axios DNC chair tries to tamp down uproar over hiding election autopsy.
So the Democrats are apoplectic.
They want to know why they lost.
Well, we can tell you.
In February, it was reported the Democrats were working on a secret report.
It found that Gaza.
Cost Harris votes.
And this surprises a lot of people, but we do have this from democraticautopsy.org.
They say what we found losing a whopping 6.8 million voters supported Biden 2020 proved pivotal in this extremely close election.
Harris's inability to mobilize these pro Biden voters may have been the campaign's biggest failure.
Former President Joe Biden's disastrous decision to run for re election they call it his betrayal, by the way abandoning the working class base agreed.
And finally, the Gaza effect.
There is ample evidence that Harris lost many voters, especially young voters, Arab Americans, and critical support in Michigan and elsewhere due to the campaign's failure to shift or even signal a potential shift in policy on Israel and Palestine.
Extensive evidence shows a huge drop off in both turnout and Democratic support among young voters aged 18 to 29.
Now, the autopsy is apparently supposed to go into exactly what these things mean.
These are surface level assessments.
But the Israel thing's absolutely hilarious.
Like, that's how hyper focused people are on Israel, that they'd be willing to let Donald Trump win unless.
Truth be told, we had several comments on Tim Cast IRL throughout the election cycle where people said they would vote for Joe Biden if he came out against Israel.
I genuinely believe Biden could have won.
If Biden came out and just said he hated Israel, I bet he would have scored a ton of votes.
There are conservatives.
That would allow Joe Biden to sterilize children, this is not an exaggeration, if he cuts military ties with Israel.
That's how much people care about the issue of Israel.
They would vote for an administration that would explicitly discriminate against people based on race and amplify child sex changes because they hate Israel that much.
Jeez, man.
By all means, let's cut off foreign spending and aid packages to whatever country, including Israel.
You want them to register as foreign agents?
Fine, do so.
But seriously?
Joe Biden?
Tax Fraud and Liberal Changes 00:04:00
tim pool
Hey, let's roll.
From rslash politics.
This is the post on Reddit about Democrats wanting the full election autopsy revealed.
And we got some great comments and sentiment.
Lonely, top comment says Ken Martin pledged to do this autopsy.
Now that it's done, he suddenly thinks releasing it would be a distraction.
Funny how that works, and the findings might point fingers at leadership.
One person said, Sir, the people are feverishly demanding more transparency in government.
Quick, hide all our mistakes.
One person says, What could it have possibly said that was more distracting than choosing not to release it?
The response only the fairly politically engaged care that it isn't being released, but the headlines it could generate, depending on what it says, could reach a lot more people.
Indeed, my friends, absolutely.
Well, here's the thing about the Democrats they're not doing too well.
They may still beat the Republicans, but the Republicans I wouldn't describe the Republican Party as cooked or dead, but people are dead.
I think everybody's in trouble.
Now, here's the distinction I draw between the Democrats and the Republicans.
I would argue that everybody is burned out on both parties.
I think the polling shows that too.
But the Republicans are still kind of unified to a large degree.
The coalition, which included libertarians and disaffected liberals, is kind of broken.
Democrats, however, are just going to war with each other.
I mean, the Hassan Piker stuff is hilarious.
They can't figure out whether they love him or hate him.
Here we have this.
Let's dive in.
From Change My View one year ago.
I do not believe there was meaningful fraud in the 2024 U.S. election.
Change my view.
Now, I just got to ask this question.
Why is it that someone would need to make the argument there was no fraud in 2024, as if the implication was it was widespread belief that there was?
The person says, I voted for Harris.
There was a massive rightward shift.
Someone says, I suppose this hinges a bit on what you consider meaningful fraud.
Regular, normal adult is the account.
He says, fraud on the scale that tips the election.
We all know that there's negligible fraud every election in the hundreds or maybe low thousands of votes, but Harris didn't lose the battleground states by a few thousand votes.
This wasn't a Hillary Biden situation where 40,000 votes across a handful of states could have changed the election.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
I hope you're ready for this.
In response, the fraud wasn't with voting machine manipulation, it was vote suppression.
Republican legislatures passed a number of last minute changes to voter eligibility rules in a bunch of states.
This led to massive amounts of voters being denied voting rights without recourse.
I don't know if this threw the election, but it was widely reported.
Here's a summary from the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan organization, granted, labeled variously as liberal or progressive by conservatives.
I Googled voter eligibility changes in 2024 and got a list of multiple other sources.
Here's a description from the MacArthur Foundation, another organization labeled liberal and progressive of the Brennan Center for Justice.
Apparently, if you focus on making things better for the average person, people who focus on making rich people and corporations richer will label these organizations liberal.
You know what the truth is?
I'm trying to explain to my liberal friends here on X what's wrong with this luxury property tax and why it would be bad for the economy.
And they just don't have the capability to think beyond layer one.
Like, you need to ask them, okay, if you make this tax, what will happen next?
There's a bunch of things.
They can't ask that question.
They say, what do you mean?
The people will have to pay the taxes.
And I say, okay, let's try a conditional hypothetical.
If this tax makes it harder to invest, what would happen?
And they say, huh?
But the tax is going to make money.
And you're like, if you didn't have breakfast yesterday, how would you have felt?
And they go, but I did have breakfast.
And that's what we're dealing with.
New Data on Hamas Machines 00:09:27
tim pool
Seriously, that's it.
This person says so, in a sense, it was done locally, coordinated effort, blah, blah, blah.
What else do we got?
What else we got?
Ah, from Ask Statistics a year ago irregularities in the 2024 presidential election data.
Sound familiar?
Remember when the Trump supporters all came out and said the data doesn't make sense, that certain number frequencies didn't add up properly?
There's no way the election was clean.
Democrats have been doing the exact same thing.
The only issue is that the corporate press isn't giving air to it.
The question is why?
When Donald Trump, well, first, Donald Trump, fine.
Trump himself kept saying the election was stolen, so I'll give you that one.
But it is damaging to the reputation of a political party among moderates when they're perceived as losers, losers who won't shut up.
So the media goes nuts highlighting every instance in which a Republican claims or a Trump supporter that the election was stolen.
They go to liberals and say, see, look, they are sore losers.
But when the Democrats are doing literally the same thing, Not a peep from the corporate press.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Because it makes him look bad, despite the fact that it is widely believed that the election was rigged.
They write, there are some very serious concerns that the 2024 election results focus on unnatural data patterns that are emerging daily.
I found this link and started wondering whether it's a valid analysis or just random things put together.
Indeed.
Then we have, here we go.
Look at this one.
I love this.
10 months ago.
Lawsuit alleges secretly altered vote machines stole election from Kamala Harris.
Do you remember that one in the news?
Have there been ongoing threads about the secret theft from the voting machines?
Did the voting machine company sue any prominent liberals?
Uh huh.
Find it interesting, don't you?
From Western Journal.
Here we go.
This is from June of last year.
A new lawsuit asserted that election discrepancies in Rockland County, New York occurred during the 24th cycle.
The lawsuit filed by smart legislation said that more voters indicated in sworn affidavits that cast their ballots for independent Senate candidate Diane Sayre than the Rockley County Board of Elections ultimately certified for her.
This means the results of the elections undercounted the actual numbers of votes for Sayre.
There were additional discrepancies that seemed to have affected the presidential election outcome as well.
In several districts, hundreds of voters cast their ballots for incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand while surprisingly withholding their votes for Harris.
Remember that?
Remember the narrative where they said, How come so many people voted for Biden but nobody else?
Well, they've also got a similar lawsuit where everybody voted for the Democrat but not for Biden or Harris.
Could it be that Harris is just unlikable?
Whatever, man.
Indeed, this is where we're currently at.
Here we go.
Lawsuit challenging 2024 election results advances as watchdog group requests full hand recount.
Okay, my friends.
Yeah, Been there, done that.
I'm bored, right?
From our slash political opinions.
People who think the 2024 election was rigged are as illogical as people who think the 2020 election was rigged.
And the top response outside of the moderator there should be legal consequences for anyone who tried to violently overturn an election, really.
The claim could both be incorrect, but they're different.
The idea that the 2020 election was stolen rests in the belief that ballots were faked.
The idea that the 2024 and 2016 election was stolen rests in the knowledge that foreign governments provided both money and manpower to flood things like Twitter and Facebook with false signs of support, and in the fact that major donors dumped resources in very unusual ways.
The belief that machines might have been tampered with is the closest parallel, and only a minority of people believe that.
I'm just so sick of this.
Right, guys?
Democrats have been doing the exact same thing Republicans did, whinging and whining about how the election was stolen.
You've got a whole Wikipedia entry Republican Party efforts to disrupt the 2024 United States presidential election.
They give it institutional authority.
Well, outside of all of that, the question is will we actually make it in the end?
Will the Republicans win?
The Daily Beast reports CNN data guru exposes absolute disaster for Trump.
And I think that's probably the case.
But I'm not entirely convinced.
The point is the Democratic Party is split, and young voters have broken away, and they're looking for a new political party.
The Democrats don't know whether they want to be staunchly anti Israel, pro Hamas, or pro Israel, or just Israel ambivalent.
This divide in the party is bad news for them.
Now, that's.
Equally true, apparently, for the Republicans.
I think we're seeing something new emerging.
What do you get when you take, I don't know, Anna Kasparian and Candace Owens and mix them together?
You get hatred for Israel.
That seems like a new spoiler political party that might start emerging the We Don't Like Israel party.
And I'm not even joking.
We take a look at Republicans, and they're doing fairly bad.
It's going to be a disaster for Trump, they say.
But Democrats are also doing particularly bad.
The one issue that's really unifying these disaffected Republicans and liberals is the issue of Israel.
That issue is not going to be strong enough, in my opinion, to overpower the Democrat or Republican Party, but it certainly can spoil or at least create a meaningful middle of the road.
With this autopsy, I wonder if they're withholding it, because the report would suggest if they come out anti Israel, they will gain a lot more votes.
It'll do weird things to the Democratic Party, turning them into this weird amalgam of, you know, Candace Owens and Anna Kasparian.
I don't know the Democrat leadership wants that.
And so they're probably thinking, guys, this is one issue we don't want to use.
Not to mention, I mean, a lot of these people get money from AIPAC, so they're probably just like, eh, my donors don't want me to do it.
Let's see if we can get the.
kaitlan collins
So, also, this is a state where, you know, we know suburban voters make up a pretty big share of the electorate.
The president got to the White House by having more ground in the suburbs.
You talked about Harris's numbers.
What do the numbers show on that now in this moment?
harry enten
Yeah, absolute disaster.
Absolute disaster.
You know, New Jersey 11th to me is very much part of a trend.
What are we talking about in the polling data?
Well, we can see it right here.
Just take a look here.
You talk about suburban voters on Trump.
You know, you look at Fox News polling back in October of 2024 versus Kamala Harris.
Look at that.
Donald Trump was leading by two points.
You come to this side of the screen.
Look at how far down he's gone.
His net approval rating now, 20 points underwater among registered voters who are in the suburbs, suburban registered voters.
So we are talking about an over 20 point shift.
So what we see in New Jersey 11, to me, is going to be seen throughout the nation come this fall if these numbers hold.
tim pool
And then my question is.
Does that translate to votes for Democrats?
I'm not entirely convinced.
Trump's screaming at Jessica Tarlov because she's talked about his negative polling.
And fine, talk about the negative polling, but I am not convinced that translates to votes for Democrats.
Here you go from Mediaite Progressive Senate candidate praised video of Hamas's 2014 killing, saying, damn fine looking.
Okay.
Controversial candidate from Maine, Graham Platner, repeatedly praised the tactics of Hamas.
This is a guy who had a totem comp on his chest.
The Democrats are Nazis!
unidentified
Help!
tim pool
He came out and said, Oops, I didn't know what that was.
If you don't know what a Totenkampf is, it's a skull and crossbones, and it was a symbol used by the Nazis worn on their uniforms.
The tattoo, the Totenkampf, is used to support neo Nazism and white supremacy.
Guys, I'm going to go ahead and say, I believe Graham Plattner probably still is a neo Nazi.
I don't think you accidentally get a neo Nazi tattoo and leave it there for 20 years or however long he had it.
And his praise of Hamas.
I think this guy just plum does not like the Jews.
And that's the party you join.
Donald Trump loves Israel, right?
Okay, well, if you're an anti Israel white supremacist, who's the party for you?
The Democratic Party.
Seriously, they're in favor of racial segregation, and half of them hate the Jews.
So I'm not surprised this guy is their candidate, or trying to be.
Well, he's a candidate, but did he win the primary?
I don't know.
I don't know where we're at with that.
The point is this people may say Trump is bad, but does that mean they're going to go and vote for this guy?
unidentified
Some might.
tim pool
There's a lot of people who think Trump is bad because he supports Israel, despite the fact he supported Israel the whole time.
The question is, do they want this guy to win?
I don't think just because people are mad at Trump, it's going to translate into a vote for a guy like this.
There's going to be a lot of regular Americans who might vote Democrat just because they don't know anything about the party.
But I kind of think that a lot of people are going to say, no.
Listen, I might not like the war with Iran, but there ain't no way in hell I'd ever vote for some wackaloon like that.
You don't accidentally have a Nazi tattoo for that long.
Here we can take a look at some of the latest polls for the Democratic primary.
Among black Democrats, the number one candidate for the primary is Kamala Harris.
Rubio Vance Newsom JD Race 00:06:15
tim pool
Yikes.
Followed by Newsom at 4%.
Pete Buttigieg at 6, AOC at 2.
Among white Democrats, Harris is at 22.
Newsom's at 18.
Buttigieg is at 14, and AOC's at 3.
And Hispanics have Harris at 31.
Newsom at 19.
AOC at 6, and Buttigieg at 3.
The interesting thing is, it somehow actually looks like they want Kamala Harris to be the nominee.
Could you imagine that?
Well, there's going to be a double primary.
Democrats and Republicans both have to have a primary, and we have not seen this since 2016.
It's kind of crazy because usually there's a, we haven't had a primary at all.
No, seriously.
You take a look at 2020, and you had a Democrat primary.
Fair point.
Typically, what happens then is the next one's going to be a double primary, but it wasn't.
Because despite the fact that Biden couldn't run, like he could, but his brain is fried, they just anoint Kamala Harris.
I don't even know if that's legal.
And Donald Trump is the de facto primary victor.
So there was technically a primary, but we just basically skipped a primary season.
Well, now both parties need to have a candidate.
Trump can't run again.
So who's it going to be?
JD Vance?
Marco Rubio?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's Marco Rubio, and I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio wins, and I'll tell you why.
I'd probably vote for Rubio, I gotta be honest.
Let me explain.
Not a big fan necessarily of neocon policies or anything like this, but the Democrats are gonna put up someone insane.
They're gonna put up Pete Buttigieg, who's nuts, Gavin Newsom, who's a snake oil salesman.
I don't see a Democrat that can actually rally moderates.
I really don't.
Like, who's on the Democratic side who's gonna go sit down with Joe Rogan and talk about all these issues?
It's not gonna happen.
Because the reason I don't wanna release this autopsy is that the trans issue's bad for him.
Israel's bad for them.
They are split in every direction.
Republicans can come out and say, I'll cut you a deal.
Here's what I agree on, here's what I disagree on, and they'll get votes.
So, Rubio, I say this JD Vance is great, but he's a culture warrior.
Rubio, not so much.
So, when you take a look at Rubio in Congress and things like that, he's pretty chill.
He's a pretty chill guy.
He does not get overly aggressive.
He's not insulting.
He's just, he talks low, professional.
And I think it's going to play very, very well.
I don't know if he has the X factor to win, though, to be completely honest.
Certainly, I don't see anyone on the Democrat side who could either.
To be fair, when I look at who could be president among everyone we have, just in terms of lowest common denominator, it's JD Vance.
The reason why is the saying goes great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and simple minds discuss people, right?
That's the saying we brought up last night.
When you take a look at JD Vance, he fits the mold for simple people.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm not here to play games.
I'll say this think about how stupid the average person is.
Now realize half of them are stupider than that.
It's a George Carlin quote.
And then I get these comments who are like, dude, how dare you call people stupid?
They are, and you know it.
That's why George Cullen made the joke.
I'm not saying I'm smarter than everybody.
I'm saying half the people are real dumb.
So they're going to vote based on is he tall?
Does he speak well?
They're going to focus on single issues.
So JD Vance is going to target broad, lowest common denominator political issues.
And then he's tall and he's got some of the X factor.
Mocha Rubio does not so much have that X factor.
I think he's like 5'10.
Height really doesn't matter.
So I don't know if I can see Rubio taking that victory.
VP, maybe.
And so we might actually just end up seeing a Vance Rubio ticket.
And Vance's VP, I think, could carry on.
Who do the Democrats have?
Honest question Kamala Harris?
Never going to happen.
She ain't going to win.
If people are voting purely on party, then maybe.
But I don't see Kamala Harris.
Kelly?
I have no idea.
You know, let's do this.
I have this the balance of power for the midterms.
But let's pull up the Democrat primary.
The Democratic presidential nominee, the current favorite, of course, is Newsom, followed by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, John Asaf, really?
Kamala Harris at 6%.
Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, Andy Bashir.
I will say this who I think will actually be on that primary stage?
Kelly for sure.
I think Buttigieg for sure.
I think Pritzker for sure.
And do we have Pritzker on this list?
We don't actually, do we?
For the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee.
Oh, he's got to be here somewhere, isn't he?
Because this guy's, wow, he's way down or just not on the list at all.
Okay, maybe he's gone.
Beto O'Rourke, I don't see making sense.
Warren, definitely not.
Graham Plattner is actually on this.
I don't see that for, you know, none of these people.
Jon Stewart, that's a joke.
Michelle Obama's a maybe.
Oh, Pritzker's right there at 3%.
unidentified
My bad.

I think Pritzker's a yes.
I think Rokan is a no.
I'm surprised Rokan is at a higher percentage than Pritzker.
You know what I think a lot of this is?
Just what people expect to hear in the press.
I think they expect that Josh Shapiro will be in the press.
It'll boost his chances.
That's probably what they're expecting.
AOC, I don't think so.
AOC takes a very serious career risk if he tries to get on that primary stage.
Newsom's a yes.
Harrison, maybe.
Booty Judge is a yes.
Shapiro is a yes.
Kelly's a yes.
Andy Bashir, I think so.
Taylor Rico's a maybe, even though he's running for Senate right now.
That's why I put him in a maybe.
So I'm not going to add him on the list.
I think Pritzker is an absolute yes.
I think Pritzker, he's been dropping weight and doing press.
I think he's going to be a yes.
We'll see.
The rest, I'm not so sure.
We'll see how credit it gets.
The point, ultimately, though, I don't think any of him can carry any weight.
It's going to be weird.
We're going to have a bunch of people with no gravitas.
Anyway, I'll wrap it up there, my friends.
You tell me what you think.
Democrats, they got it.
They don't got it.
I think they're cooked.
We'll see.
Doesn't mean Republicans can win.
And just because, yeah, it doesn't mean the Democrats will lose.

Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all then.
