The Don Lemon Show · Harris v. Trump: SH** JUST GOT REAL!! - September 3rd, 2024 · 4 Sep 2024 podcast

Look, there's a...

There's an ad for a congressional candidate out here named Will Rollins that I helped with.

He's running in Palm Springs against a Trumpian dinosaur named Kent Calvert, who in 32 years in Congress has enriched himself by $20 million.

Not an atypical story.

But what that ad essentially says is, speaking for Will Rollins, because it's true of Will Rollins, he said, my grandparents were Republicans.

They were fans of Eisenhower and McCain and Reagan.

And they taught me that the Republican Party stood for personal accountability, small government, law and order, and hawkishness on Russia.

And the reason that I'm a Democrat speaking as Will Rollins is because the Republican Party is none of those things anymore.

The Democratic Party is much closer to those ideals than the Republican Party is because the Republican Party has been not just co-opted, but hijacked, corrupted, poisoned by MAGA and by Trump.

And I don't believe that John McCain would have stayed in that party.

I know he wouldn't have done what Lindsey Graham did.

No way.

Zero chance that he would just look the other way and accepted that that MAGA ism is now Republican ism.

Zero chance.

First of all, there is no Republican Party anymore.

We just have to stop saying that.

It's the radical right.

OK, right.

When I when I work with a candidate or an elected and this has been eight years for eight years now, I've said to them, I'm going to help you learn how to sound less like a Democrat.

so that you can make arguments that independent voters can actually hear.
