What is the opening criticism of Donald Trump and the opposition’s role?

Angie Sullivan 0:04
All right, Donald Trump is now trotting around in what appears to be a wig, terrible makeup, and he's going to continue to commit crimes, in my opinion, every single day. But what is the opposition party doing? We have to have an opposition to fascism. And joining me today to discuss this is one of our favorite guests, Mike Nellis. He's a Democratic strategist and host of Endless Urgency. God, that's so true. On Substack and YouTube, Mike. Thank you for joining me. How are you today?
Mike Nellis 0:31
I'm doing okay. Doing well by yourself.
Angie Sullivan 0:33
Great. Um, for the most part. I'm great
Mike Nellis 0:36
given the circumstances.
Angie Sullivan 0:37
Given the circumstances. Yeah. I want to talk to you about these MAGA men. Um, first one is JD Vance, who I think is this country's top prostitute. He ha he has whored out to uh uh Big tech. He's Peter Thiel's boy. And um he, as we all know, had moral clarity on Donald Trump not not that long ago. And here is a video of him responding to Abdul al-Sayed's win at and and this is my favorite part. When he when JD Vance responds to this, he's at a fraud round table. Play the clip.
J.D. Vance 1:12
With us. We don't want the next administration, whoever, you know, God forbid you're gonna have President El Saed in three years. We don't want him to undo all the incredible work that we've been doing when we've been taking out the fraudsters and saving the American people money. And
Angie Sullivan 1:31
I actually want it all undone. What about you?
Mike Nellis 1:33
Yeah, I would like it all I I think that you know how people used to make fun of Kamala as the the border czar with that mess? It's like that's what Trump is doing to JD Vance right now, like making him the corruption czar for the most corrupt president in American history is such a terrible way to kick off his twenty twenty eight presidential campaign.
Angie Sullivan 1:47
Do you think that it's uh intentional on Trump's part to troll him and to humiliate him? No.
Mike Nellis 1:53
I guess the new reporting now is that Trump is back to loving JD Vance and thinks that he's the future of the movement. Like really loves all the weight that he's lost, thinks he looks great, like apparently is obsessed with I mean, Trump is like secretly a gay man. He's just obsessed with everyone's looks.

How does the panel describe JD Vance’s relationship with Trump and the MAGA movement?

Mike Nellis 2:05
Yeah.
Angie Sullivan 2:06
Yeah, he completely is. What do you what do you take of the fact that everybody in MAGA is responding to Abdul al Sayyed's win?
Mike Nellis 2:15
Yeah, well, I think they're doing what they always do is that they're demagoguing. First of all, there's an incredible number of racist attacks on him. They're basically like one day away from claiming he committed nine eleven himself. And the ad that they put out where they use like his full name, I don't think they remember that Barack Hussein Obama won Michigan twice. And this is all that they have. So they're gonna be racist as hell. They're gonna call us all communists, they're gonna like make stuff up. I mean, they're arguing that he wants to abolish the police and abolish Jails, which he does not support. They're gonna lie and they're gonna cheat and they're gonna steal because they have nothing.
Mike Nellis 2:44
They have nothing on the economy. They have nothing on Trump's corruption. They have nothing on Max Miller, who literally broke a three-year-old girl's collarbone. So they don't want to talk about any of that stuff. So they're just gonna go straight to the bottom of the barrel. And I don't think it's gonna work. It sometimes works when they're out of power and we don't have a good message. But in this election, in every Senate race, we have good candidates with a strong message. I don't think it's gonna work.
Angie Sullivan 3:03
What do you take what do you make of Abdul taking on in much the same way that Zoran did? Big spending, big corporate pack money and winning. What does that tell the base and democratic strategists that you can win without taking on big money? What's your take on all of that?
Mike Nellis 3:22
Well, I think there's a couple of things here and it and it's complicated. It's first of all, like Abdul ran an amazing campaign. And and I was working for the McMahon campaign, so like I was sad that that didn't work out, but I could admire what my opposition is doing.
