Episode #74 of the Countdown podcast is up.
A-Block (1:37)
- Let me tell you what is to come: Trump and DeSantis will both run for the ‘24 Republican Nomination. When DeSantis wins, Trump will run anyway as an independent, cinching the White House for Biden (or any Democrat).
- The Republican establishment has, overnight, turned on Trump and burned the bridges to him. The front page of Murdoch’s New York Post has an illustration of Trump as an egg, atop a wall, and in big block letters: “TRUMPTY DUMPTY” and a column inside nicknames him “Toxic Trump.”
Hey! That’s Mom’s nickname for him (“Trumpty Dumpty”, not “Toxic Trump”).
- Let’s review your doubts: Do you doubt DeSantis will run? You think he made that two-minute miniature Bible Epic movie just to run up the score in Florida? Do you doubt the GOP has bailed? Peter King has just said Trump “should no longer be the face of the Republican Party.”
- Now Kevin McCarthy gets to lead an impotent, fractured Republican party in the House with not enough power to crush the crazies but not enough power to impeach Biden, either.
- And Trump got them a runoff in Georgia where the 203,000 Georgians who voted for Brian Kemp but did not vote for Herschel Walker are really expected to vote for Walker in the runoff?

As Keith says: Well, that’s all the damage I can do here for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
