that you got caught because people don't like us. We're not going to serve as a foil for you. And I think that's going to grow. And the irony of this whole conversation is the person that the Never Trumpers and the Romney, McCain, Bush wing of the Republican Party said would permanently alienate minorities because he was himself racist.
Donald Trump proved in this last election to really be very successful in a way that no Republican dreamed of substituting class interest for race and got a higher percentage of the minority vote than almost anybody in the last 50 years that was a Republican.

And they did it repeatedly in five different arenas. And you can see how out of touch Joy Reid was because she had no idea that when Donald Trump had that mugshot and people knew that was unfair and he looked defiant, a lot of people who had felt that they had been on the wrong end of an indictment, they empathized with him. Even the ones who didn't said, this is not fair. And look at him.

He's not weepy. He's not crying. He's defiant, just like he was after the assassination of Pence. And you wanted to tell these people, get out of your bubble. Do you realize that when you impeach him twice and you try him as a private citizen and then you spend two and a half times more than he does on a campaign, you try to get him off 16 state ballots?

You wage five indictments, 91 indictments or 93 against him. And you fail on every occasion. It's not just neutral. You don't start back to square one. You lose your credibility incrementally each time. And they didn't understand that. They just kept it up. And finally, he made a mockery of them with the McDonald's. You know, when she said, I worked at McDonald's and you said, no, you didn't.

And they all rallied to her side. And then he went to McDonald's. And that iconic moment when somebody drove in, I think he was Indian American, and he said to Trump, he kind of got startled, and he said, well, I'm just ordinary. And Trump said, you're not ordinary. And his wife said, you took a bullet. And Trump, the old Trump might have said, yes, I did.

But he kind of stopped for a minute, and he got reflective, and he said, I guess I did. And you could see that all of this stuff that was doing to him, the only way he could survive was to fight back. But he also got really philosophical. It was almost like he had an animal cunning that he knew what they were doing.

In the long run, if he survived one more indictment, one more day, it was all going to boomerang on him. And he had a marvelous staff. And when they started to stage these moments at a garbage truck, McDonald's, going into Madison Square Garden, it was just... I don't think the elite left is going to recover for a long time.
