You know, Republicans love to talk a big game about, you know, defending Donald Trump going
out there and saying that, oh, the government's weaponized against him.
Biden's persecuting his political enemies because he is, as Fox News called him a wannabe
dictator.
But deep down, these Republicans know a dirty little secret, and they're statements to the
press are starting to show just how concerned they are about Donald Trump's ever-growing
list of legal problems.
Because those Republicans in mostly the Senate, but some in the house, they remember just
eight months ago, right when we had, you know, the midterm elections and Republicans a year
ago were saying, we're gonna pick up 70 seats.
And then they only got a five seat majority.
They were telling us, we're gonna take back the Senate.
And then the Democrats actually gained a seat.
They were so hopeful.
So what happened between a year ago and eight months ago?
Donald Trump inserted himself more and more into those 2022 midterms.
And his presence along, of course with the fbi, uh, siege of Mar-a-Lago last August,
reminded people of how corrupt Donald Trump is.
His rallies that he was doing for other candidates, reminded people how crazy he is, which reminded
them how crazy the Republican Party is.
And it turned off a lot of voters, and that's why the Republicans had such a pathetic showing
in 2022.
But then there's also Republicans who remember the 2020 election and the 2018 election, all
those elections, with the exception of Trump's first one in 2016.
Every election since then that Donald Trump has inserted himself into has not ended well
for Republicans again.
Yes, they took back the house this year by five seats.
They were calling a 70 seat majority this time last year.
I did videos on it.
It went from 70 to five, all because of Trump.
And they understand that now that the media is hyper-focused on Donald Trump and his criminality,
alleged criminality, I gotta say, they know that's not gonna end well for them, regardless
of how the trial turns out.
And we're probably not even gonna get a trial before the primaries and caucuses begin.
But just the appearance of wrongdoing hurts Donald Trump and therefore hurts the rest
of the Republican party.
Because here's the thing, we have seen Trump's supporters come out in droves on Tuesday.
There were hundreds of Trump supporters lining the streets near that courthouse expressing
their support for him.
But here's the question, and this is what Republicans in Congress know.
There wasn't a single person present there.
That's a new Trump voter,
Right?
It's not like you had people that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020,
and then they showed up at that courthouse to say, I support Donald Trump.
Now, none of these legal problems, no matter how much fundraising Trump does off them,
no matter how much he claims he's being persecuted, none of that is gaining him a single new voter.
And that is the fact that these Republicans in Congress understand they're now worried
that their fragile majority in the house is gonna go away next year.
They're worried that their last chance this decade to retake the Senate is going out the
window.
And it is.
And just like the three elections before 2024, you can 100% pin this on Donald Trump.
