“If there is even a hint that Tim Scott's candidacy might threaten Donald Trump's candidacy, you will see Donald Trump go so fast from welcome to the race to making fun of the forty-year-old virgins.”

“Look, this gives me no pleasure. I mean, we're going to get fucking Donald Trump as a nominee again. It sucks. I wish Ron just a little bit. I don't want Ron to Sanders to be president, but Donald Trump is a, I still uniquely dangerous threat to democracy. And all these fucking goofs are like just...”

“Well, it's different, right? Because Trump, I don't think, is great in the diner. He doesn't do this well. So he knows that. And so he just doesn't do it. And what he does is the performance on the stage. And he's really good at that.”

“Lot about this. At least Rondesantis isn't running against someone in the primary who just has a knack for zeroing in on a person's absolute weakness and exploiting it as much as possible. Destroying.”

“Put off by that and feel like, no, I can do it myself. You've also, I've heard of candidates who have the opposite problem, like someone was who worked for Al Gore told me that they had to stop prepping him so much because he would go into meetings and meet with like New Hampshire state reps he'd never met before. He was a student who had to ace the test.”

“Real run. Well, and when you hear that about yourself, because undoubtedly he's reading all this criticism or internalizing it in some way, then you get in your own head. And so now you're trying extra hard to be the relatable guy.”

“Back to it. And what you can't see there is he walks away. So he turned on him. So as soon as okay is his end of the conversation. Okay. You get one, you come up to run DeSantis, you say something, you tell him who you are, you tell them where you're from. He says, okay, he moves away”

“There's so much artifice in politics, and you have to be comfortable in these weird situations that are totally fake and manufactured where you're in a diner and there's seven people but 25. News cameras there filming you, and he just can't seem to do it. You don't even have to have so much charisma. Hey, what's your name, Tim? Hey, Tim, how are you?”

“Alright, before we go, we wanted to gear up for Rhonda Santis's official campaign launch this week with some thoughtful analysis about how he's handling what will undoubtedly be his biggest challenge as a candidate. Being a person that other people like. Here's a clip that made the rounds on social media this weekend after he pressed the flesh in New Hampshire.”

“And when they brought up their criticisms of Trump were not surprising, his characters, social media use, and they brought up the investigations a bunch, which is also interesting. All right, so when we come back, Senator Brian Schotz talks with Lovett about debt ceiling strategy and lots more.”

“Little old, whatever, but we don't want that. We don't want that again One more thing about those focus groups that I thought was interesting, they tested DeSantis in addition to Trump. And most the majority of participants also chose Biden over DeSantis because they said he was too extreme.”

“Gala in Florida, right? So you can start using these examples and just have Biden out there with a very fiery, energetic stum speech that's just kicking the shit out of Trump and Republicans and telling people exactly what would happen if he gets a second term. And if that's where he keeps the focus, then you're going to have people just like in this group who are like,”

“Negative partisanship. And to that end, if I was the Biden campaign, and I'm sure this is what they're thinking, but the best Biden moments over the last couple years, the speeches about democracy, January 6th, in the middle of the State of the Union when he started ad libbing and basically fighting with Republicans over Social Security and Medicare, right? They are moments when Biden has both shown energy and painted the contrast with Republicans. And I think you can solve two birds with one stone there, right? People are a little worried about his age whenever he's feisty and shows some energy that helps that. And when he is keeping the focus on what a Donald Trump second term would look like, like paint a picture. And as you said, Tommy, you can also remind people like, oh, in these red states where Republicans have full control, this isn't the future. This is the present. This is what's happening right now. There are book bans. There are full abortion bans. The don'ts.”

“Certainly, not an election that people are going to be excited about. It could be a very high turnout election, but it's not something people aren't going to be like run into the polls. I guess you're right, too.”

“All right, finally, we've been talking a lot about the Biden Trump rematch that's currently our most likely future. So the Washington Post just held a series of focus groups with the kinds of voters who may decide the race. People who cast their ballot for Donald Trump in 2016 and then voted for Joe Biden in 2020. They got 15”

“We are excited about the tone. And then one of the lead negotiators, Republican Representative Patrick McHenry, said, we've had tough meetings, we've had difficult meetings. This meeting was productive, no acrimony. That makes me nervous. That means the Republicans feel like they're getting something.”

“Yeah, I think if these people stick around till Iowa, it's like Jump's nomination. I mean, they got to start, they all got to start dropping out by then. So, one issue likely to be the subject of fierce debate in both the Republican primary and the general election is America's support for Ukraine. President Biden met with President Zelensky at the G7 in Japan, where he also announced a joint international effort to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 fighter aircraft. Meanwhile, Russia claims to have captured the key city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and also released a list of 500 Americans who were banned from entering Russia that includes Barack Obama, Rachel Maddow, Brad Raffinsberger, Tish James, Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, Jimmy Kimmel, Joe Scarborough, and the Capitol Police Officer who shot Ashley Babbitt.

“A lot of them, like they don't have enough money to do polling and research, right? And so they're like listening to their advisors telling them you never know what might happen. They're probably meeting people at meet and greets who are like, I'm actually for you, you know? And then they think that's great. Mike Pence, what is Mike Pence doing? Does Mike Pence not think that the Republican electorate has rendered a judgment? What if Mike Pence is pretty”

“DeSantis, Scott, Haley, Pence, they're all going to be fighting over the traditional conservatives, the evangelicals, Christy Sununu, Hutchinson are going to be fighting over the extremely small anti-Trump faction in the party. So you go to all these people fighting over there. They meet each other. They're trying to get each other's votes.”

“The field. Welcome, Tim Scott, to the race. Said he was certainly a step up from desanctimonious, who's completely unelectable. And then he said, the field's getting loaded up with people fast. One of those, he's just telling you what he's thinking. And this is the problem.”

I know I was reading it today and I decided I realized I needed to add him. Larry You guys think this is it Trump's race to lose?

“Here's one last problem. You know, I'm sure you point out that he's at 1 2% in the national polls. His team could say national polls, they don't mean anything. This is all about the early states. Okay, let's try South Carolina where he's a senator, where he has won two elections, and everyone knows who he is. He's only polling 7%.”

“Well, and I would respect it if he took on Trumpism, right? If he was doing this message but taking on Trumpism and the fact that he's trying to have it both ways, which he has with Trump, which he sort of did with the abortion question too, right? Like, you know, he's trying to do the message, but he's underneath it. He's, you know.”

“It's just one of those again, it's too subtle. Like if you're gonna, to your point, if you're gonna drag the Republican voters out of it, you're gonna be like, what the elephant in the room here is that it's a party enthrall to like the fucking cult of personality that is Donald Trump, you know, and he has said before he's thankful for Trump's time in office. If you really think that the party is going in the wrong direction in the country because there's too much grievance, stuff like that, then you got to identify the fucking problem, which is the guy that you're running against. He seems like”

“Yeah, I think he gave the best speech certainly at the Republican Convention in 2020. I remember thinking so at the time. Again, I think he could be one of their party's best messengers in a general election, but we're running in a Republican primary here And it's like Tim Scott and Nikki Haley are just like running at another time in another place in another universe where the Republican electorate is completely different than it is. And it's all like pre-2016 notions of what the Republican electorate is that just don't reflect the reality of what has driven those voters, which is grievance, the very thing that he's complaining about in his speech.”

“Yeah, it's just popped up to give an endorsement that I'm sure is a groundswell of support that Tim Scotch just picked up in South Dakota, I guess. His team is making the case to reporters that Scott is the party's best messenger, the most consistent conservative in the race, the most broadly appealing to the Republican electorate, and that he has the resources and infrastructure to win. The guy does have $22 million in his Senate account that he's rolling over to the presidential. He certainly sounded exciting during his announcement speech. Here's a clip.”

“Runs out Right, so it turns out that's not really a thing, that what would have to happen is you'd hit the X date and then the government would start issuing debt anyway. And then the courts would decide whether that new debt issued after the X date is constitutional or not. And then you are again relying on John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch as your swing votes. And if they decide that it's not constitutional, then we're all fucked.”

“I will say one more thing on the 14th Amendment because I've been talking about this in the last couple episodes I didn't understand why the Biden administration didn't invoke it earlier and then let the courts decide before the X date. The problem is we've been using the phrase and so has everyone else in the coverage like invoking the 14th Amendment.”

“And I was thinking that today. Like, as soon as the Republicans won the House, it was pretty obvious that there were going to be some kind of spending cuts because if there was no debt ceiling, there would have been a negotiation over government funding that could have resulted in a government shutdown if there was no agreement. And while government shutdowns aren't as damaging as a debt ceiling, there's still not something that can go on forever. So at some point, when you have Republicans in control of the House and Democrats control the Senate, the presidency, like there's going to be some kind of compromise around spending.”
