That he is a loser.
As a four time winning Republican, I'm tired of losing.
We should have won in 2020.
Two, we lost, we should have won in 2020.
We got everything, our clock clean because of his leadership and
his message isn't getting it done.
I supported him in 2016, I supported him in 2020.
But he's a three time loser going on to be a four time loser.
And it's not just him that I'm worried about,
I'm worried about the US Senate races.
You worried about the governorships.
I'm worried about the ballot that he affects up and down the ticket.
>> Donald Trump a loser, not just a loser, a three time loser,
soon to be a four time loser.
Now, you might hear that sort of talk on CNN normally, probably not anymore, but
in the past, maybe a little bit.
But you probably don't often hear it from Republicans being willing to so
aggressively attack Donald Trump.
And this is all being generated, of course,
by what he said and what he did at the Town Hall on CNN.
That was Kristinunu attacking Donald Trump.
He's not the only one, by the way.
Senator Todd Young from Indiana is criticizing him,
as well as Lindsey Graham, criticizing him for his positions on Russia and Ukraine,
which he made very clear during that Town Hall.
Take a look at this.
>> President Trump's judgment is wrong in this case.
President Putin and his government have engaged in war crimes.
>> Are worried that the apartheid's leading presidential candidate does
>> Of course,
it does, that's why I don't intend to support him for the Republican nomination.
>> Where I differ with President Trump is, if we end this war and
Putin still standing, he's unaccountable for the war crimes.
You don't end the war, you just create more conflict.
>> I think people saw last night what they would
get was another term of Donald Trump as president.
Which is completely untethered to the truth,
uncertain as to whether he wants Russia or Ukraine to win and
the brutal conflict with Russia as imposed on Ukraine.
I think it was a great opportunity for
the people of America to see just exactly who it is Donald Trump has become.
>> And not just that, other Republicans were attacking him for
different stances that he took during the Town Hall.
Some did not like that he pointed out once again that he was going to pardon many of
those who attempted to overthrow the government on January 6.
It's years out from that, many of them would just love to move on, but
Donald Trump, of course, is not going to let them.
Josh Hawley said, if you're asking me do I think we should pardon people who
engage in rioting behavior?
No, which is a pretty big change in his stance from fist in the air and
then eventually running as fast as he could down a hallway to, of course,
we shouldn't be pardoning these people.
So for different reasons, different politicians,
all coming out against Donald Trump.
So not everybody enjoyed his performance at the Town Hall.
>> Here's my first reaction to this, Jeromes.
Okay, that is a lot of Republican senators.
So here's the real conclusion, and I think this one's pretty important.
They must have polling we don't have, or they must know something we don't know.
Because first of all, he cowed all those guys, and
he's done it many, many times before.
Every once in a while, they'll poke their head out and be like, Trump not so good.
And you'll smash their head and they're, Trump's the best, I love him,
I'm so sorry.
Now, Mitt Romney hasn't done that to be fair to him,
he's only partially done that.
There was that reek moment when he was lobbying for Secretary of State.
But, Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham are first class bootleggers, right?
Josh Hawley did exactly what Trump wanted on that day.
So now they're turning around?
They're not turning around because all of a sudden, they found a conscience, okay?
So if you see it in mainstream media, I don't want you to get tricked into
thinking, I wonder if they looked at that Town Hall and finally realize,
well, golly G, this Trump guy, he's a bit of a bastard, isn't he?
>> [LAUGH] >> Okay, no, come on, guys.
So they've decided, for whatever reason, pretty much, it looks like,
almost en masse, including John Corner, the number two Republican in the Senate,
all coming out at the same time, going, not Trump, not Trump.
When the public polls seem to indicate he's got about a 30 point lead on
DeSantis.
If that's true and there was no other factor,
I guarantee you that those senators would not have said those things.
So either they got some sort of poll that says Trump's gonna lose in a way that we
can't see with our own eyes, or they have polling showing if you back Trump,
even in Indiana, you're gonna lose.
The polling is so bad for those senators for the general election that
they're like, no, if I go in the direction of being antichoice and
pro-Trump, I can't survive a general election.
The last possibility is, the donors came in with overwhelming money, and
they're like, look, we all got bribe, you guys, on a regular basis anyway.
You guys are all going to do what we want, but
this Trump thing is not messing around, okay, we really don't like Trump.
So here is an irresistible VAT of money, even if he comes for you.
But remember, if you all work together, maybe you could do it, go get him, Tigers.
But this isn't normal, something happened behind the scenes, I guarantee you.
>> I don't know, I think for me, what caught my eye was the sort of
sticking point for most of those guys was the Ukraine thing.
That sticks out to me because it's the one thing in Washington and
amongst all of the foreign policy elite, they're all in lockstep on.
Everybody is in lockstep with supporting Ukraine,
sending billions upon billions of dollars at the wave of a pen.
Nobody hems in Haws, nobody talks about fiscal responsibility.
Nobody ever does any of that on either side of the aisle when Ukraine comes up.
So I thought that was interesting that that's what they sort of ding them on
cuz everybody over there agrees that we're running this Ukraine playbook to a tea,
everybody does.
So I'm l that's, coming out against that, that doesn't mean anything to me,
honestly.
I feel like they're betting on a short memory of everybody, of the media,
of the US public.
That if by the time Trump wipes the floor with DeSantis and
turns him into his next little lackey boot liquor,
everybody will have forgotten that Mitt Romney was upset that Trump didn't
give a full throw in support and embrace of the effort in Ukraine.
