Well, they should certainly be talking about impeaching, I think.
Well, and maybe it might involve— Like ethics.
I think it's very likely that Donald Trump will push Clarence Thomas out of the way and put in like an Emma Beauvais or Judge Aileen Cannon or something obnoxious like that on the Supreme Court.
One of the reasons why Donald Trump is doing everything that he's doing right now is they want to preserve that Republican Senate.
Because if Clarence Thomas or Sam Alito leaves the scene and there's a Democratic Senate, the Democrats, I would think, are going to say, go fuck yourselves.
We're blocking this appointment until the end of Trump's term.
But if the Republicans can hang on to the Senate, then Trump can keep adding people to the Supreme Court.
But my sense of it is that if a Democrat gets out on the campaign trail and is not talking about national health care, abolishing ICE and expanding the Supreme Court, they're going to have a really tough time.
It's going to be some tough sledding out there for those candidates.
Because my sense of it, and I had this town hall event at the National Press Club the other day on January 6, celebrating those police officers who defended the Capitol that day, on a day, by the way, when a lot of the national press wasn't really doing much of that.
And I set up my town hall, you know, real president would have these cops over at the White House and put his arm around them and say, thank you for what you did for our country and defending democracy.
But, you know, to me, what you need right now and what I picked up on at that event is that people are pissed.
And I'm not just talking about Democrats.
I'm talking about even some like left-leaning Republicans, centrist Republicans.
People are getting – they see a woman getting murdered in Minneapolis by the government.
And if you are not talking to those emotions and where people are right now, you're just going to have to – it's not going to work out for you.
