GOP Bomb Goes Off: Turning On 'Toxic,' 'Loser' Trump After Humiliating Losses

the vast majority of races are decided. Biden and the Democrats outperform the most recent incumbent presidents, including Obama and Clinton, in similar midterm elections. Trump, in extreme terms, as we've all experienced over the last five years, is suddenly saying quite clearly that the obvious Trump dragged that party down and stoked the extreme politics adjacent to the insurrection that made the Republican Party really do it. ruining what was a great opportunity, part of the problem. I don't think there is any doubt in my mind that the wounded Republicans everywhere are Donald Trump, some were also knuckleheads with strange beliefs and closets full of problems, many of these remarkably weak candidates came courtesy of Donald Trump, there are a very high correlation between Maga candidates. and big

losses

a true leader understands that it is time to get off the stage facing 2024 the Republicans are going to be looking for candidates who are focused on winning not just making a point or settling scores we have a tremendous opportunity in the future Donald Trump should not be a part of that, I just wish it would go off into the sunset, you see, on the airwaves, what's happening right now since Tuesday, keep in mind that's the kind of reception that losing candidates usually get immediately after their defeat, the GOP was quick to dump Mitt Romney as a future presidential candidate once he lost to Obama it did so for John McCain Trump largely avoided that deal within his party over the past two years for reasons we know who has been a fighter with a kind of loyal minority base who literally scares Republicans both politically and in the primaries and sometimes physically with violent attacks, but this scathing rebuke now I can tell you from Friday night maybe may not be true on Tuesday maybe they were still discovering it on Wednesday, but tonight has conservatives publicly and directly absorbing and echoing the Voters clearly reject Trumpism this week and that ranges from Fox hosts to veteran leaders of the party like Paul Ryan and Newt Gingrich if voters conclude that you are putting your own ego or your own grudges before what is good for the country you are going to.

To look elsewhere, Governor DeSantis is the biggest winner of the night and he will almost certainly become the rallying point for all members of the Republican Party who want to go beyond President Trump. I mean, I think Trump is kind of a drag on our ticket. I think Donald Trump gives us political problems. Trump needs to take a good look in the mirror. Well, a lot of what you see there is about political and electoral events. They're not making any big policy or ethical criticism, they're just saying. look at what voters did again by rejecting Trump and that rebuke is being broadcast to conservatives this week through the biggest megaphone for Republican activists that remains Fox News online.

They're talking about Trump never being weaker than he is now and Fox is a part of it. of a larger media empire run by Rupert Murdoch that drags Trump this week in its newspapers the popular tabloid New York Post with a cover that absolutely defenestrates Donald Trump Like Trump the Dumpty with a big fall also points out that the

toxic

Trump of today has proven to be the most profound vote repellent in modern American history is Fox and the tabloids and that is their kind of populist message that they direct to their daily viewers; Then there is the megaphone for powerful party donors and business elites who finance any real challenge to a former president in the primaries, they waste no time.

These people know how it works. They are doing it right now. So I'll tell you what they're doing and then I'll tell you in our special report leading the show tonight. Why this matters Murdoch's Wall Street Journal has a new editorial that, I could tell you, almost every CEO and major donor is discussing this week. Trump is the Republican Party's biggest

loser

. He blares that he now has a perfect record of electoral

losses

and has led the Republicans. In fiasco after fiasco, the same newspapers, Reagan alum Peggy Noonan criticizes Trump's epic loss as poison for her own movement and Trump's aides know this is a problem right now, they're trying to pressure him to get him out of what is an increasingly harsh spotlight.

Even if this is some sort of tactical move, he had antics on election night where he tried to hold this press conference that was very poorly timed because there was no red wave towards Crow, now there are reports that some loyalists are trying to pressure Trump not to do so. announce what has been rumored about a possible early announcement next week of a presidential race and then I'll tell you how it's working far beyond the conservative media, sometimes you see a magazine cover that's instantly iconic, here's the New Yorker With just one really eye-catching cover, that cartoon ran aground on the Republican elephant looking shaken because there's no wave for his red surfboard, you can almost feel for this elephant that he was hoping to ride a wave with that surfboard, but as one said time Beyonce, ended up waking up.

I'm saying how the hell did this happen, oh honey, a lot of Republicans woke up with exactly this kind of political hangover and questions. Here's a question: whether Trump was the

loser

of the 2018 midterm elections and the loser of the 2020 election, which had record turnout. Standing next to him this week in this election makes the new Republican candidates look more like the mainstream winners or rather the unpopular extreme losers and

trump

ys. That's a question voters answer to these types of questions. Pennsylvania is a state where moderate Republicans can win, but Trump Style TV candidate Dr. Oz did one better by sucking up to Trump and taking on him this past weekend.

Now he joins Trump as the loser of another election, the same in relatively independent and moderate New Hampshire, where Don Bolduc is seen lost after tying himself not only to Trump but also to Trump. By obsessing over dark lies about the last election, many New Hampshire voters who swung between the parties felt that if this guy was obsessed with relitigating 2020 and spreading lies about it, maybe he wasn't really focused on the things they care about. or that they review. In Michigan, there's a similar story where a lot of the election deniers who again were just echoing Donald Trump's 2020 conspiracy theories.

I mean, it's not even a conservative view more or less, he's just trying to help his strange ego, many of them lost and the opponents Maga's strategy says that the Republicans erased him, then we have Georgia on the way to the second round, this is a state where Trump's participation led the Republicans to lose the presidential cycle and a Senate race in the last cycle, we have this celebrity-style candidate and Herschel Walker, he definitely faces a difficult road and Trump's own allies are acknowledging the obvious: his presence as a candidate makes the losses likely most likely in Georgia.

I advise the president to wait until after the race in Georgia. Well, I think it's probably best if he waits until For a while, I think he needs to put it on hold. Look, he's going to make that decision, he's going to make his own decision, but is he going to start advising any DeSantis Trump contender, who no one announces 2024 until we get to December 6? You see the former president needs to go to Georgia. I think we have to make strategic calculations. Governor DeSantis. I think he should be welcomed to the state given what happened last night.

You have to look. You have to look. to the realities on the ground, you have to look at the realities, you have to make strategic calculations, it is not necessary to be an expert in people who want to continue enjoying Trump's good favor and in how they speak to understand that there are many salad words there in the critical advice: you are unpopular, please stay out of Georgia while people are still voting and you had what I just listed, one of Trump's most loyal aides, acknowledging those facts because he is even less popular than a traditional Republican.

I'm not telling you if this is good or bad, I'm telling you that more Americans think it's good because it's unpopular, but I'll just show you the numbers that voters preferred Clinton over Trump by more than 2.9 million votes in 2016. The Electoral College saved him in Two years, Trump was losing what was a real wave election, unlike this week, Democrats took 40 seats in the 2018 midterms, the Blue Wave, so he lost there in 2020, as you know, of course, he was overthrown as one of the few presidents to lose the total vote two. elections in a row, the losing gap there only grows from the 2.9 million seen at the top to a whopping seven million people, that is, seven million more voters who voted for Biden against Trump in our nation, still yes , sometimes divided, these are numbers if they are measured. where voters are leaving aside the Electoral College or the structure of the Senate, which matters for who is in government, and simply measuring what the country has consistently wanted, they have gone against Donald Trump now and massively three elections in a row and he has only become more divisive.

Because he attacked democracy and lied about the 2020 loss, these results show that if Trump runs again, he will start with a deficit of millions of people. Now Trump insists that he is simply popular and that somehow he will win again, but more Republicans are starting to tell Trump this. week what Jay-Z once told a rival: We don't believe you, you need more people, like at least seven million more people than you had in 2020, and given the rebuke we're seeing this week that even Republicans and Trump's advisors are publicly acknowledging you probably need a lot more than seven million more people if you want to be competitive in 24.

Now, that same Trump advisor we showed you recently is publicly trying to get his TV-watching boss to postpone all of this because he thinks If voters know Trump is in the race, even Republicans will be less likely to get the result they want in Georgia. Well, here is Mr. Miller himself, explaining what will happen next week, based on what he will announce on Tuesday. I think he's running for president and it's going to be a very professional, very detailed announcement. He did a review this morning with the logistics team to have great people on board. All the details are covered, that's what they say.

We'll check it out next week and see what. happens, we will not just take things based on their claims, but if people do the required paperwork and actually run for president, there will be candidates, we will let them know where the news is, we are talking about people who swore an oath to defend them. the Constitution and told Americans for decades that they were traditional small-government conservatives and then supported Donald Trump not only through scandals and lies but also through hate, abuse of power, impeachments, failed literal coup, the armed insurrection and a candidate who, if he announces next week, publicly says that he wants to forgive the armed insurrectionists, the people convicted of sedition, we do not believe them, more people are needed.

If there is a positive side for all of us, it is that during All these years there has never been a majority of people who support all that. Hi, I'm Ari Melber, thanks for watching the beat.
