Welcome back, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain, Rushlin Ball behind the golden EIB microphone.
Great to have you today.
Telephone number is 800 28288 to the email address, Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
The um there's an NBC News Survey Monkey poll that's out as well.
This is not to be confused with the NBC Wall Street Journal poll.
This is the NBC News Survey Monkey poll.
And in this poll.
Now wait a minute here.
Wait, wait, wait, wait just a second.
Let me.
Sometimes things are more confusing than they need to be, and I'm I am on the verge of exploding here.
I've been surrounded by incompetence the last 24 hours, and I'm having trouble dealing with it.
Let me.
Okay, it is NBC News Survey Monkey poll.
It was released.
Is this Tuesday?
Yes, Tuesday.
It feels like Friday already.
So in this poll, Trump is down only by five to uh to Mrs. Clinton.
It's funny, you know how the gap is closing now that Trump is the presumptive nominee.
And all these people on the left, well, everywhere in the establishment, too, on the Republican side, are scratching their heads, and there's there's degrees of disbelief or panic at every stage.
The fact that Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee of the party scares voters more than it surprises them, according to an NBC News survey monkey poll released today.
Forty-seven percent of respondents said their reaction to Trump becoming the presumptive nominee was fear.
Just 26% said they were hopeful, while another 21% said they were angry, and 16% said they were surprised.
35% of respondents would be scared to see Hillary Clinton win the day.
See, this is the thing.
What is the what is it it when you strip all this away?
Trump is only five points behind Hillary in this.
So how does this jibe anyway?
Forty-seven percent of respondents said the reaction to Trump becoming a nomination is fear, becoming a nominee is fear.
35% of the respondents say the same thing about Hillary.
So that's a spread of 18 points.
But but what does that matter when Trump is only five points behind her when you strip all of this away?
35% of respondents would be scared to see Hillary win the Democrat nomination.
29% would be hopeful, 22% would be angry, 7% would be surprised.
The former Secretary of State tops Bernie Sanders in the national poll by 12 points among Democrats and Democrat leading voters.
So I don't know.
You look at all this stuff and you realize how much of it is used to shape public opinion rather than reflect it.
And it's just it's it's mind-boggling.
Fred Barnes, uh, who is the partner of William Crystal at the Weekly Standard.
Bill Crystal, of course, out there desperately trying to maintain what he believes is his control over the Republican Party by attempting to find a third party candidate that would uh do well enough to deny both Hillary and Trump 270 electoral votes and thus throw the election to the House of Representatives.
Fred Barnes at the Weekly Standard is a partner.
They're they're partnered up over there of Crystal, and and Barnes has a piece uh out today called He'll Do It His Way.
And his basic thrust here is if anybody's expecting Donald Trump to change, now that he is the presumptive Republican nominee, forget it.
Trump says he can act presidential any time he wants to, but that that time rarely comes, and it does reason for it.
Trump equates being presidential with being boring.
And being boring is not his style.
Trump will give a few speeches On major issues with presidential level trappings, teleprompters prepared texts, invited audiences.
In fact, he's preparing one on the Supreme Court now.
Others are likely to focus on infrastructure and the scandals at the VA.
But that's about it in the boring department.
No effort is being drawn up to create a new Trump akin to the new Nixon 50 years ago.
When Trump learned that Paul Manafort, his convention chief and top advisor had talked to Republican officials about a change in his style.
He nicks the idea instantly and demoted Manafort and re-elevated Corey Lewindowski.
Over me when was running around trying to assure everybody, don't worry, this is all an act.
And when we get it sewn up, you're going to see major transformations in Mr. Trump, and you're going to see much more presidential behavior.
And Trump heard that and blew a Trump gasket.
And Manafort has been demoted.
They're not looking at it that way, but he has.
And Corey Lewandowski has been re-elevated back to a position of prominence.
But he's going to do the formal stuff.
Newt Gingrich says, yeah, look, there are going to be some of these formal speeches.
You have to.
You've got to do some tradition now and then.
Those things represent the positive Trump, said Newt Gingrich, an unofficial advisor.
But it's the negative Trump that will get more attention.
He's very good at shrinking his opponents, Gingrich said.
This is a long way around this.
Fred Barnes, trying to tell you if you...
I don't know what his point is.
I think his point is if you are afraid of Trump, but hoping that this is an act and hoping he's going to become more substantive, and hoping he's going to become more presidential.
Forget it.
He is who he is, and he's not going to change.
And I'd have to think Fred Barnes is not happy with that, being the partner of Bill Kristol at the weekly standard, Bill Crystal desperately trying to hold on to his control in his mind of the Republican Party.
AP.
The ever-hopeful, the ever-hopeful AP, a top advisor from Senator Ted Cruz's presidential campaign wants supporters to push a conservative agenda, including limits on the bathrooms that transgender people can use at this summer's Republican National Convention.
Anti-Trump forces see the Republican platform as a place to make a stand in Cleveland.
Now there will be 2,472 delegates at the Republican convention.
They all have to approve the platform before formally anointing the presidential nominee.
And all the delegates, including those chosen to support Trump, can vote however they want on the platform.
And many conservatives say that they will use that vote to try to keep Trump from reshaping GOP dogma against abortion for free trade and on other issues.
So the platform committee, the platform writing is where conservatives, according to the AP now, are going to make a stand against Trump and try to hold on to the I don't know what it is, the identity of the Republican Party.
My wild guess is that I don't think Trump is going to give a rat's rear end about the party platform.
I I think nobody remembers what the platform is anyway, once the thing is over.
And I'll tell you something that nobody, you the platform does not bind any Republican.
The platform is routinely a it's a PR move where the party can establish what it stands for and publish it and put it out.
But no candidate, no nominee is ever bound by it.
And it is an insignificant part of any convention, which is why I think a big deal is being made of uh conservatives, whoever they are here, discussed as cruise supporters, circling the wagons and doing their best to keep the party defined as whatever Trump isn't.
But Trump's gonna look at it, my guess platform schlatform.
I mean, I don't care what they'll let him have it, let them do whatever they want at the platform.
Say whatever they want, it's not gonna affect me.
I'm gonna run around and do what I do, and I'm gonna be who I am, and I'm gonna propose what I propose, and I'm support what I support, whatever platform says.
Because Trump's the guy out there saying, we don't need unity, Republican Party.
We don't need I don't have to be bound by it.
Trump is basically sniffing and rejecting every playbook tradition.
Or pretty much everyone.
All these canards about party unit.
I'm sure he'd love it if the party would come together, but he's it's it's not going to, he's not going to allow it to affect what he does if if uh if the party if the party doesn't.
Uh but they're clearly, folks, there's a this I don't think the right, the correct uh analysis of what Paul Ryan is doing has as yet, but maybe it has.
I haven't I haven't been able to check everything.
But Paul Ryan immediately saying he's not yet prepared to uh endorse Trump this is battle lines being drawn over who runs the Republican Party.
And I'm telling you, Paul Ryan represents the establishment, and what this is, this refusal to endorse Trump, is the establishment continuing to say, I don't care who our nominee is, we run this party.
I don't care who the nominee is, this party's gonna be ours, whatever happens to this nominee win or lose, we still run the establishment.
We still run this party.
We still determine what's what about this party.
The conventional wisdom is that at some point Ryan's gonna have to endorse Trump.
If for no other reason, if he wins, there's gonna have to be some show of well, if not unity, some some some mutual uh mutual understanding.
Uh I'm I'm not sure that any conventional wisdom is applicable uh anymore.
I think so much of what's happening here is so unexpected and unprecedented that there are not a lot of people know really what to do with it.
Everybody has their formulaic ways of applying whatever event happens day to day in politics and plugging it into previous occurrences and thus analyzing it that way.
But that's it's largely uncharted water here, uncharted territory where uh everybody is headed.
You know, Pat Buchanan had this column just excoriating Ryan.
Who the hell does he think he is?
Does he not realize he just had his hat handed to him?
Does he not realize it?
He and his what in the name of Sam Hill's going on?
The nominee Donald Trump got more votes than any Republican ever, and Ryan's saying, no, I don't think so.
It's not up to Trump to move to Ryan.
It's up to Ryan to move to Trump, and if Ryan doesn't, then bye-bye Ryan.
That's that's Buchanan's column.
You thought it's folks, they're applauding my analysis interpretation of the Buchanan column on the other side of the glass here.
Okay.
Well, anyway, the battle lines are drawn, and and these uh stands to reason, the establishment types are just not going to let the will of the people break up their club.
They're just not gonna let that happen.
They're gonna do everything they can to hold on to this.
Stands to reason that they would.
Anyway, get back to more of your phone calls after another obscene profit break, hang in there, be right back before you know it.
Buchanan's piece was uh titled, Who Promoted Private Ryan?
And the subhead is losers don't make demands, they make pleas, they make requests.
You know, I said the other day in his program, snurdly, you frowned at me.
I said, it's not up to the winner to move to the loser.
The loser has to get with the program, move to the winner.
And you looked at me like.
What was what do you mean was shocking when I said that?
It's it's the way of the world.
We shellacked the Japanese of World War II.
Did they tell us the way things are gonna be at the signing ceremony?
No, we told them what they were gonna have to do.
We did the same thing the Germans after uh after World War II.
It's always the winners.
That's the reason that you get into conflict.
The winner determines the rules, and it's up to the loser to uh to a seed.
That's that's that's that's part of surrendering, and it's part of losing.
You've got to if now you can go into exile if you want, but you don't start making demands.
But see, that's kind of what's wrong with America today.
The losers are making demands.
The oddballs, the kooks are the ones making the demands, and the winners, you know, are turning tail and running.
The winners are going, okay, okay, okay, just you know, just don't say beat things about it.
Just you know, leave our kids alone.
Just so the losers are are are running a show.
And the losers are the left.
I mean, they're they're a definite minority in this country, but they're winning everything by virtue of the actual winners and majority giving up and surrendering and caving.
And frankly, I'm worn out with it.
This bathroom business in North Carolina's a classic illustration of it.
Less than one-tenth of one percent of the population, and we're being told the Civil Rights Act of 1964 addressed it.
It's even gotten so absurd that some of the supporters of this bathroom garbage are trying to tell us that it's in our founding documents that transgenders were being thought of and were being considered during the construction of the Bill of Rights.
It's absurd.
It is frank all of this is frankly absurd.
But you have you have a majority not willing to stand up for itself, so you have to expect what's happening to happen.
And I can give you countless examples of it.
Of parents not doing a damn thing about it when teachers are perverting and destroying history lessons in their schools because they're afraid of what bad grades will come, what recriminations will come if they complain.
So, you know, the the left has been winning with this this stuff for a long, long time because nobody wants to stand up to it.
And when people do stand up to it, they are made to pay, and other people see what happens to people that stand up and say, I don't want that happening to me.
And so they slink along, try to be unnoticed, and the steady erosion by virtue of perversion is happening to our culture, and it's not just here.
It's happening in Europe, it's happening all over where there is Western civilization.
It's under assault.
Anyway, back to the phones we go.
This is uh is I guess Stefan, is that pronounced Stefan in uh Winchester, Virginia?
It's great to have you with us.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Yeah, you bet.
Uh so my question for you is uh do you think that it's a viable option for crews to come back into the race?
No idea.
I'd like to know.
Well, he's he says that well, he got out of uh a race after Indiana, saying he didn't see a path to the nomination, and his caveat here is well, if I see a path to victory, I will get back in.
Yeah, so I guess my thinking is just uh by pulling out now, he kind of saved some money, and then there's also the media hype about never Trump and all that other stuff.
So coming back in might give him a little bit of a boost.
So I don't know if maybe that's that could be something that could happen.
But you still have the delegate count that you have to deal with.
I mean, what the path to victory is what?
What how does victory how is it defined here?
Great.
Well, I mean, looking at so, like in Virginia, he lost the state of Virginia, but then he ended up with 14 out of 15 delegates, and the same thing happened to Arizona.
I don't know.
Oh, he was sweeping delegates all over the country, but that was only gonna matter on second and third and fourth ballots if they could stop Trump from winning it on the first ballot or even before the convention starts.
Now, with Cruz having pulled out, uh I don't know how you I don't know how Trump does not get to 1237 now with with the state primaries.
So, you know, uh the the the the how you would define unless I see a path to victory.
Well, what what would have to happen for there to be a path to victory?
Something would have to go really wrong with the Trump campaign.
I mean, really wrong.
There would have to be something happen so bad that Curly Haugland and the rest of the boys can organize a never Trump convention that would be supported.
I I don't know what that would be.
But I that I maybe maybe Senator Cruz sees another path here, and he just doesn't want to divulge what it is.
I would I for me I don't I don't know what it would be.
I think a large, I think a large part of it, you know, let's say you're you're you're on the radio.
You had the backing of a whole lot of committed people, people that loved you, people that had a lot invested in you.
I mean, you were being hailed as the closest thing to Ronald Reagan that conservative movement has ever had since Reagan, and you're asked if there's a path to victory, can you see yourself getting back in?
You don't want to let people down by saying, No, it's over.
I gave it my best shot, but I lost, and it's time to look for no, you say, hey, you know what?
If there's a way back in, absolutely.
And you say some hey, hallelujahs, and you treat this as a positive possibility, keeping your your your supporters stoked for it, and then you wait and see what happens with Trump.
Marco Rubio is back out there today, too, in addition to uh Senator Cruz.
Uh Rubio, a big speech today at the Hudson Institute, a uh, I guess you say a conservative uh think tank organization in Washington, and uh he's a little bit of an indictment here of the media and their reluctance to actually tell anybody anything important.
It's a lot easier to say, for example, why do we give all this money to NATO and these other people that we're protecting do not?
And uh it's easier to say that than to explain what would happen if you didn't.
And so that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.
I just think it takes time and and and quite frankly, to be fair, today's press that covers this process is not interested in covering any of that.
Now, what this is a reference to is Trump out there saying, we got to get out of NATO.
We're thinking about getting out of NATO.
These people in NATO don't contribute a did at least squat to their own defense, and we can't afford anymore.
They don't treat us with any respect.
We defend them, we send our kids off to die to get injured and so forth.
They don't contribute a hell of anything, and then they get mad at us and they undermine us anyway, so they hell it will pull out.
And Rubio's point is that's easy to say.
That's easy to say people rally to that, yeah, yeah, yeah, pull out, screw them.
A lot easier to say that than to actually explain why we do it.
This in Rubio's opinion, obviously it's valuable, why we do it, and furthermore, what would happen if we actually did withdraw from NATO?
What would have said the press is not interested in going there?
The press is not interested in exposing or talking about that, and because of that, what what's unsaid here, in Rubio's opinion, because of that, what isn't reported is how stupid Trump's opinion is.
In Rubio's perspective.
Rubio clearly thinks it'd be dumb to pull out of NATO and telling people why would expose Trump and his lack of knowledge about it or his being incorrect about it, but the press, Rubio says they're not interested in that.
They just like the fireworks that comes from covering these outrageous things, and then going and asking people, what do you think about what somebody here just said, rather than delving in and explaining it.
The reason they don't explain it, because they don't know either.
I mean, the press, even though it was, and it always has been a bunch of leftists, it did have people that were educated in their area of expertise.
I mean, when you had a Supreme Court reporter like Lyle Denniston, the Baltimore Son, I mean, a guy was forever going to be opposed to every conservative nominee, but he th the court, he knew it history, he knew its history, it's he did all it was his area of expertise.
This is the point that Ben Rhodes was making about the White House press corps, how easy it was to lie to them about the Iran nuke deal.
All we had to tell them is what they wanted to hear.
You got a bunch of 27-year-old idealists, not a Republican in the bunch, 72 reporters in the White House press corps, not a single Republican in a bunch.
They're 27, their sum total of experience is covering political campaigns.
So all we had to do was figure out what they wanted to hear and tell them that's what we were doing, and that's what this that's what we got story-wise, and what they wanted to hear was that we're dealing with moderates in Iran.
That the only reason that we're doing this Iranian nuke deal is because we've found a group of moderate Iranian leaders defined as these are not the Ayatollahs, these are not the Mulls, this is these are not the death to America crowd.
We're dealing with them, and they're responsible, and that's why we can do the deal.
He totally made it up.
There aren't any moderates in Iran, with whom you can make a deal.
The moderates in Iran are probably in jail, or soon to be.
Iran is still run by these wacko extremists, and that's who we're making the Iran nuke deal with.
But he was able to lie about it because the press corps doesn't know any better.
They're not old enough to have accrued any experience anyway, or significant knowledge.
And that's what Rubio is saying here.
So Trump comes along and suggests we get out of NATO because it's another example of America being screwed.
It's another example of American sovereignty being abused.
It's another example of America paying for the world and not getting any respect back.
So screw them, and we're losing American jobs anyway.
And these European nations, they ought to be forced to defend themselves.
Why should we have to do it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you go, Trump, you go, Trump.
And meanwhile, Rubio says a responsible press would actually tell us what would happen, or at least go to somebody who disagrees with Trump and have them tell you, well, okay, here's what happens if we pull out of NATO.
He says that doesn't happen because the media doesn't care about it.
Well, I don't think Rubio sees a path to victory.
He won one state.
Oh, man, the long knives are out.
I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you what Rubio said.
You want to know what would happen if we pull out of NATO?
Is that your question?
What would happen when we pulled out of NATO?
The Third Reich has shown back.
You think the Third Reich is dormant in the Reichstag in Berlin.
The Third Reich has been reborn.
It's called militant Islam.
And if you haven't noticed, it is overtaking Europe.
We don't call it the Third Reich, but look at militant Islam was aligned with Hitler back in the days of World War II.
They had the same enemy, the Jews.
They were aligned.
We don't call it the Third Reich, but what do you call the kind of torture these people do?
Maybe ISIS doesn't have gas chambers, but they mass behead, they mass hang, they kidnap, they do all kinds of, I mean, they're they have perfected torture, and nobody says anything about it.
Well, it's not true to say nobody says anything about it, but there aren't any serious efforts to deal with it.
If we pull out a NATO, uh, with circumstances as they are, I think Rubio's point is, and anybody else who agrees with him, if we pull out a NATO, then remaining ability to protect Europe is gone.
And we pull out and we announce we're pulling out, and that we're no longer going to provide a military defense shield.
Well, then it's all speed ahead.
It's uh the season Is wide open for the full conquest of Europe.
Now the question would then be well, what are we doing to stop it now?
You know, what what is NATO doing now?
I've make the case that NATO is is uh one-sided, it's us, that we provide the military, that we provide the ammo, we provide the the uh armaments, uh we provide the actual defense.
And in many cases, there's one thing that's really true here, and that is in all of these Western European nations, which Democrats in this country consider to be utopia.
You know, these European socialist countries are considered to be nerve.
That's what we all want to be like.
And they've got, I mean, France, 14% unemployment, that's the norm.
And massive welfare states, why are they able to do that?
Because they don't have to pay for their own defense.
They don't have to fund, they don't have to have a defense budget person.
They've got makeshift militaries.
They they do participate, like Denmark in the uh in the 9-11 coalition.
Uh they had a they had a they had a small force that uh went over there and sent teletype.
I don't know what they did, but they had a small force.
I mean, these nations do have tiny little militaries, but not enough to even defend themselves if they're under assault.
That's us.
And there are people who think it's worth uh maintaining Europe as it is, uh, rather than have it be totally overrun.
I'm guessing that this is what Rubio means.
He might mean something entirely differently, so I shouldn't put words in his mouth.
It's my wild guess interpretation.
I have another uh obscene profit break I must take, and we'll be right back.
Hey, before we get back to the phones, there's uh a couple of soundbites here.
One of them is an ad.
A Hillary Super PAC has released an ad attacking Trump on women, using Trump's own words.
Now, obviously, we only have the audio here.
It's a minute long.
I want to run this by you, and I want you to be asking yourself as you hear this.
Will this be effective?
Will this hurt Trump?
Will it harm Trump?
Will it be bad news for Trump's presidential campaign, or is Trump immune to this?
I'll give you a little hint.
The drive-bys are convinced that things like this spell the end for Trump.
Ads like this, and there are many more to come, are devastating for Trump.
That it's over before it even begins, because Trump and the never Trump people have provided this kind of ammo for Hillary and Hillary's super packs.
Here we go.
Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump.
She came to my wedding.
She ate like a pig.
And seriously, the wedding cake was was it was like missing in action.
Does he have a good body?
No.
Of course.
Does she have a fat ass?
Absolutely.
Well, I just don't respect her as a journalist.
I have no respect for it.
I don't think she's very good.
I think she's highly overrated.
But when I came out, then you know, you can see there was blood coming out of her eyes.
Uh blood coming out of her, whatever.
Well, obviously it's great outer beauty.
I mean, we could say politically correct that the look doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters.
Like you wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful.
Donald Trump knocking supermodel Heidi Klum in the New York Times, saying Heidi Klum.
Sadly, she's no longer a ten.
A person who's watched it is very hard to be a 10.
Okay.
Right.
You know what?
The women get it better than we do, folks.
They get it better than we do.
I see.
So you treat women with respect.
I can't say that either.
So there's the ad.
I'm trying to gauge the facial expressions of admitted Trump supporters on the other side of the glass.
They're all laughing uproariously.
Uh is this going to be harmful to Trump?
Is it worried?
Nothing new in here.
Nobody's learning anything they haven't heard before.
Everybody's heard all this.
Everybody's heard this.
That's that's what the reaction is.
Nothing new here.
Everybody's heard Trump say this.
Everybody knows Trump's joking about it.
I mean let me uh let me let me well, it hasn't worked up to now, unless Unless, maybe it has unless you want to look at Trump's numbers with women and say, yeah, he's not doing all that well with women, and this could be why, these statements that he's made that women have heard.
Um, even though he's the presumptive nominee.
And remember, we've got polls in three states today: Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania.
Trump is leading in one of them, Quinnipiac, and tied with Hillary in the other two, despite all this stuff being out there.
You know, I'm I'm saying something interesting here.
Um Ted Cruz had said all this.
Why?
Why would it be you're right, it'd be it Ted Cruz would be finished if Ted Cruz had said it.
But why?
Why would Cruz be finished?
And and Trump's not.
I mean, Trump's not finished.
Whatever the impact here, this does not end the Trump campaign today.
It would end Rubio, it would end Jeb Bush, it would spell the end for Ted Cruz.
If Chris Christie'd come out and said this stuff, a Ben Carson would come out and said this stuff, it'd be if Bill Clinton said this stuff, it would not harm him.
What do we learn from this thus?
What I didn't understand what you said, but why would throwing Bill Clinton in the mix upset your answer?
If if okay, if if Trump survives it because he's a reality star, Trump survives this because he's real guy, this is how real guys talk.
Um how about this?
American politics is determined by trolls on the internet today.
Maybe not determined, but internet trolls have a lot of say about what people are thought of.
Well, Trump is an internet troll.
With all of his tweeting, Trump is one of those guys.
Trump has brought the internet troll to the campaign.
Now, there's a negative connotation to internet trolls, and and uh uh but at the same time, this is becoming mainstream, this kind of uh speech pattern, the way people speak, this is common on the internet.
This is the kind of stuff that people say every day, everywhere, on the internet, multiple times a day, and nothing happens to them.
They don't get shut down, they don't get shouted down.
Now they are speaking anonymously, in most case, most of the trolls are gutless, spineless poll troons, and they're out there doing it all anonymously.
But I think there's even beyond all that, there's another reason why you put these words in the mouth of any other Republican running for this nomination, and this spot does wipe them out.
It doesn't wipe out Trump.
There's a reason why.
Moving on the next bite, though, CNN last night, Don Lemon spoke with Dana Bash, chief political correspondent about this ad, said that's a pretty devastating look at Trump's own words.
How do you think this is gonna play, Dana?
Hmm, hmm.
First of all, this is a roadmap that was given to the Clinton team, and I should say we should underscore that this is the pro-Clinton superpacts, not the Clinton team, uh, roadmap given to them uh by the Republicans in the never Trump movement.
They understood that this was a potential weak spot for Donald Trump, big time, maybe not as much in the Republican electorate, although he didn't do as well with women as he did with men, but very much so they're they're hoping, certainly now Democrats, in the general election.
Wait a minute now.
Wait, well, what was that?
Sounded like uh a woman wandering in vain for coherent thought.
Dana Bash, if I heard that right, did not universally proclaim that's it.
That's it.
He's finished.
There's so much more of this stuff, no one can survive this.
She's analyzing this in all kinds of different intricate ways.
This is the roadmap that's been given to the Clinton team, the never Trump, the never Trump movement, they understood this is a weak spot for Trump big time.
Maybe not as much in the Republican electorate, but when you get to the general but sh she did not conclude that this is it, did she?
She did not say, well, I mean, that's it for Trump.
This finishes him.
And this is just the beginning.
The uh Hillary Packs and all these, there's so much more of this stuff.
You just wait.
This is just the first bomb to drop.
No way Trump can say she didn't say that.
Hmm.
Wonder why.
Okay, we gotta take a break here to top the hour.
