Biden trolls Marjorie Taylor Greene in new campaign ad

 

A 2024 lead.

A new snapshot of Republican voters

likely to participate

in the first in the nation

New Hampshire

primary in New Hampshire right now

according to this poll.

Donald Trump

holds a 14 point lead over

Florida Governor

Ron DeSantis that's 37% to 23%.

This is a new poll

from the University of New Hampshire

Survey Center.

South Carolina Senator

Tim Scott is in third place.

He is 8%,

followed by former New Jersey Governor

Chris Christie and North

Dakota Governor Doug Burgum at 6% each.

Vivek Ramaswamy

and for South

former South

Carolina Governor

Nikki Haley are both at 5%,

with all others at 1% or below.

Let's discuss.

So Iowa Trump has a double digit lead.

But but

Santos in the hunt is in the hunt there.

And it's a lot smaller

that this lead in New Hampshire

that we see in national polls

and the state by states

are far more important

than the national poll.

This also suggests

that two thirds

of the people

in New Hampshire, Republicans

in New Hampshire, don't want Trump.

This is still very much

a competitive contest.

We talk about this all the time,

but this is why the ground game

is so significant.

This is why these candidates,

the whole game is meeting

as many voters

in these early states as possible.

I just looked up the amount of people

that turned out in 2020 in New Hampshire

in the Republican

primary it's about 150,000 people in Iowa

in the Republican caucus in 2020

that's about 32,000 people.

So when you have the electorate

that small in these early states

I mean you know

these candidates can really just

you know

spend as much time as possible

there meet as many people there

and there could be surprises

And what do you make of this.

Two thirds

not in the Trump column

as of right now

in New Hampshire among Republicans.

It's a poll, Jake. I don't.

Maybe I'm just an old song

I don't think anything's changed.

I think this is Trump's nomination

until somebody takes it from them.

It was a great interview

with DeSantis this week, but even him,

I don't see

any of these candidates

trying to beat Donald Trump.

He's going to be indicted

and look at none of them

are attacking him for that.

Well, Chris Christie is in.

Chris Christie doesn't count

because he really doesn't

have a chance to win.

I'm talking about the candidates

who have a shot.

None of them are attacking Trump.

They're all waiting.

It's weird.

They're all waiting for something

to happen to Trump.

Yeah.

I think it's a mistake

to dismiss them too

early in the process, but

that's just to dismiss him.

Chris Christie or all of these candidates

all these candidates.

Francesca's Tim Scott in third place

in this poll

superPAC supporting him

just announced a $40 million ad campaign

that's the largest booked

by any candidate so far.

If one perceives DeSantis as kind of like

being stuck and I'm not saying I do

but do you think there's an opening here

for Tim Scott?

Well, he certainly has a lot of resources

to be able to continue to compete.

And that's not.

Not everyone can say

the same exact thing.

You're saying some of those candidates,

like Asa

Hutchinson, who's down in this poll,

you know, they had him

hovering at almost 0%.

He didn't

bring in nearly anywhere

close to the same kind of haul

that some of these other candidates did.

When you're looking at

what Tim Scott has cash on hand.

He again,

he would be able to compete

in all three of these states

and and continue

into those Super Tuesday states.

One thing about the Trump

numbers in that poll, though,

is that the people who are with him,

three quarters of them say

that they are with him.

He's their guy.

They're sticking with him.

And so that, I think, is significant.

Also, though,

he has dropped by five points

since April.

In that poll, voters,

you see Ron DeSantis, his numbers

staying essentially.

Even so, it's not Ron DeSantis.

Who's losing support in New Hampshire.

It's Donald Trump. Interesting.

Can I just say one thing on this?

The reason

why this is still anyone's race,

I do think it's Donald

Trump's race to lose

but is because Iowa and New Hampshire

rarely like to do the same thing

in a primary.

So even if Donald Trump

wins in the Iowa primary,

Iowa primary

or caucus

it does

make it hard for folks to get momentum.

But New Hampshire is known

to kind of push back and say, but we want

and what this poll, six out of ten

New Hampshire

in saying that they don't want to

actually support Donald Trump.

I do think it gives opportunity for folks

if they can stay in the race that long.

I heard a lot of conservatives

praising DeSantis

for stepping

outside of the conservative media bubble

and doing the CNN interview.

And one of the things that's interesting

about media bubbles

and look,

there are liberal ones

or conservative ones, etc., etc.,

is that sometimes you might say things

and you're miscommunicated.

And let me explain.

Marjorie Taylor

Greene gave a speech the other day.

The conservative firebrand MAGA

extraordinaire from Georgia.

And in her speech,

she talked about how Joe Biden

was trying to finish what LBJ did,

finish what FDR did.

Now in her bubble

that automatically means

horrible, bad FDR.

Worst guy in the world,

but to the rest of the world.

FDR is considered a great president.

So Biden did something interesting.

His campaign did something interesting,

and they turned it into an

ad and take a look

Joe Biden had the largest

public investment

and social infrastructure

and environmental programs.

That is actually finishing

what FDR started that LBJ expanded on.

And Joe Biden

is attempting

to complete programs

to address education,

medical care, urban

problems, rural poverty, transportation,

Medicare, Medicaid, labor unions.

And he still is working on it.

Like you said, urban problems.

Urban problems.

But whatever do you mean by that?

Pretty brilliant. Brilliant.

And it is

telling that

that is someone

who is running in a general election.

He is saying,

if you think that the Republican Party

is too extreme,

your own folks,

you know, they misused

two words a little bit,

but it was brilliant.

Come over.

We are doing things

that the average American

find around the economy, around

so many issues

that people find important.

I thought it was well done.

And I think everyone should give a tip,

a hat tip to the Biden campaign.

She could

I mean, she could have been more clear

if she was trying to

if she was trying

to speak outside the bubble.

She was trying to say, like,

we don't believe in big government,

like FDR did like that.

But she's

speaking so much, preaching

so much to the choir

that she just and at that event, Jake,

she was purely speaking

to the Republican Party base

at that event because they ate it up,

but it served

it served right into Joe Biden's

strategy right now,

which partly is to cut things

that Republicans are saying,

turn them into

ad put it on air and put money behind it.

I don't think that one's running on line

right now,

but that is broadly

what their strategy is.

While he continues

to focus on the things

that he wants to focus on as president,

in the business of being president.

Yeah, that's trolling

more than it is an actual

ad by at least at this point.

But at this point. At this point.

But that is largely

what their strategy is right now

is to let Republicans

say what they're going to say

in this race.

I mean, it illustrates that we live

in two different Americas, basically,

and the same could be said of the left.

You know, you could play back something

that someone says on the left

and it'll get worse.

APPLAUSE And then you could play it

for right wing audience

and they might be horrified So,

yeah, just just illustrates

we're living in. Oh, it does.

I mean, I could totally imagine

some Democratic congressman

talking

about how important it is for Foushee

and Christopher Wray.

And like all these people that right

wingers consider to be bad guys,

you know,

to be given power and respected

and this and that

and the right wing

would do the same thing.

They would do the same thing.

It was a brilliant commercial.

And again, this is Biden's secret sauce.

He needs to stay above all of this

and speak to most Americans.

Quick question.

I do wonder

I did wonder what you thought

when I asked

Governor DeSantis

about the possible indictment

and he said, quote, that

he hopes it isn't.

He this is not the quote.

I hope it doesn't happen.

He said something like that, quote,

I don't think it would be

good for the country.

What did you think of that?

Well, you said

the question, Jake, was perfect

because you said,

what if you see

evidence of criminality, evidence

of criminality.

Oh, and he just wouldn't even touch that.

Yeah.

Which I thought was really disappointing.

But but it makes sense politically.

I asked it twice.

Evidence of criminality.

You said that word twice.

All right.

Thanks. Thanks for paying attention.

Thanks to one and all for being here.
