Trump Booed in Disaster Red State Election; His Event is a Total Failure

Republican voters in South Carolina have shown the entire country that they are as dumb as the candidate that they voted for. Let's take a little gander in Darlene Graham's victory speech. Play the clip. Gun control, government run health care, abortion until the moment of birth, bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs them all. I have a different background and vision for our state. I'm a hard worker with a servant's heart. I grew up in the back of a bar and liquor store in one room in central South Carolina. My parents worked long, hard hours to make ends meet. We didn't take vacations. If they were sick, they had to get up and go to work because the doors weren't open. We weren't making any money. We didn't have a job. We didn't make any money. I've heard enough. I've heard enough, Pumps. Okay. She goes on to say that she's attacking Annie Andrews because of her health care plan. Well, Darlene Graham is advocating for people to go to work. And then she talks about how her parents died when she was like 10 and 11. She lost her parents. So I'm like, so by that logic, your health care plan is just to die? It's so stunning that I couldn't wrap my head around. I listened to it like three times and I'm like, I think she's saying it's better to die than have health care. Well, I believe that that is a Republican policy. I genuinely believe that it is a death cult. The Republican Party, particularly under Donald Trump, but also certainly under other Republicans, their policies lead to death. They unravel safety regulations and say, oh, these are horrible for business. Actually, they're fantastic for keeping businesses in check and keeping Americans safe, keeping our food safe. And then, of course, both sides of the political aisle bend over, hand over fist for the medical industrial complex for pharmaceuticals. I think I read somewhere that Americans take 75 percent more pills than any other country in the world. Why is that? Because it's all for profit. It's all for profit. But I just want to make this point about Darlene. I think she is equally as unqualified as every other Republican right now. A lot of people like to make the distinction that Darlene has no business running for office. What's the difference in Darlene and Josh Hawley? Josh Hawley was, you know, Ivy School, Ivy League educated, and he can sound a lot smarter than Darlene does there. But their votes will be 100 percent identical. So when it comes to MAGA, it just matters how good at bullshit they are. That's it. That's the only qualification. And here is Darlene's opponent, Ralph Norman, and he's booed after mentioning Trump in his concession speech. But, you know, the you know, the president got involved. He has that right. That's his prerogative. As I told I never. Well, y'all, his his policies are good. I never. You know, we just had a primary in Oklahoma and the Trump back candidate won also. So every time there is a vote, there's a vote. And I think that's the most important thing. And I think that's vote by the Republican Party, it reveals that they, even though their polls show Trump so down, like 30% in his approval rating, there are pockets of rural Oklahoma and rural South Carolina that will continue to vote against their own interest. And in my opinion, it's because they think God wants them to, and because Trump loves racism as much as they do. And I don't think there's any other way to explain it, that it is, these people continue to decide elections and they are the least interested in policy. They are interested in retribution. I also think, I agree with everything you say there, but I also think the Democrats abandoning a 50 state strategy is at the beginning of Obama's first term was detrimental to fly over America and helps exacerbate the minority rule that we see in the United States Senate, in the Supreme Court. And when you do not have a Democratic Party present in South Carolina or in Oklahoma, my experience of living in Oklahoma is then the Republican Party becomes so massive, their only option at that point is they out-crazy each other. And typically the craziest candidate always wins. And that's why, I mean, I hosted so many fundraisers, worked on so many campaigns in Oklahoma. And I came to the conclusion that number one, a lot of the people like the recreational cruelty and the tax breaks and the valuing of money over human lives that the Republican Party delivers. A lot of people actually are voting for what Donald Trump does, and it's very difficult for people to understand that. But the cruelty that I personally feel is that it's a very difficult thing to do. And I think it's a very difficult thing to do. And I think it's a very difficult personally witnessed, and this is anecdotal, of course, in the most religious people that I met, it always kind of took my breath away. And I was like, oh, it's not that they're not hearing the right message. They're hearing the message they want to hear and they're voting for it. And so both of those things combined, and we have a lot of situations where we have a minority voice that is a low information voter with, that's been deeply indoctrinated into a lot of bad stuff. And this is what they want, which is just really depressing. And then we have Trump. He's planning to make the midterms about him. This comes as a surprise to no one. Pop this up. Trump told MAGA Inc. and Oval Office meeting to make ads about his own record for midterms. Spots will run alongside campaign specific ads. We are going to unload the guns on both chambers real soon. And I said, giddy up, do it. Do it. Run it. Run. Put this guy front and center all day, every day. Do it. Do it. Let's run exactly against Donald Trump. But the Democrats sharpen your attacks, in my opinion right now, from the Democratic establishment candidates. The attacks are not nearly sharp enough. Oh, I couldn't agree more. And when you look at this, you think, this was my first thought was, let's fucking go on this. Trump is at 30% approval ratings. The war is unpopular. His economics, tariffs, ranchers are mad, the whole thing. But what's going to happen is all these ads are going to be full of lies, just 100% lies. And going back to these rural, low information voters, despite the fact that they can't afford food and gas is too high and they can't buy their medicine because it's too expensive, they're going to say, well, Trump says the economy's great. And so they're going to believe it. There's going to be a portion of the electorate that just buys all this shit. I am hopeful and optimistic that a larger portion of the electorate looks at this and goes, he's a fucking liar. You're seeing that more and more from triple Trumpers, but it will be interesting. I don't know that they can run that much about his financial stuff because there are certain things you can't spend. Gas prices, grocery prices are something that are very, it's very difficult to spend. And that's where you see these clips that come out of these Democratic voters. I voted for him, but my groceries are 20% more. I bought the same thing every week, my whole life. And it's something that's difficult to spend. So what they're going to turn to is racism and fear mongering. That's what it's going to be about. Donald Trump stopped all of the imaginary trans surgeries that kindergartners are having in public schools and immigrants, the race, of course, they'll beat up on black people. And I think you're going to see a lot of fear mongering because that's how he won. I mean, the 2024 election, I mean, the fear mongering on the Republican side with an assist from their propaganda news arm, Fox News. And now Trump is having a midterm convention. And of course, this is a total grift. Let's pop this up. From Puck News, the Republican midterm convention is a shit show. The NRCC is charging members $25,000 to $100,000 to attend. There's no itinerary. And invites went out late. Some say it's just another grift for a Trump production. Some say. You know, what's interesting about this is Trump has been talking about, you know, because he wants to put his name on the ballot. And this was before his approval ratings got so pathetic. But I was reading an article, you know, this PAC that Trump keeps accepting all these bribes to. It has over four hundred million dollars in it. And it has spent exactly zero zero dollars helping Republican candidates. Will that change as we move forward? Maybe. But in my mind, that's Trump's money. He thinks that's mine. I'm not spending it on anybody else. And now he's going to grift of allegedly wanting to help candidates in the midterms. It is absolutely the biggest grift I've ever heard. I saw an ad online for a White House Christmas tree ornament sold by WhiteHouse.gov that has a gift shop. And it was a 250th anniversary commemoration Christmas ornament. And when I saw that, I thought, number one, if Biden was selling Christmas ornaments out of the white house or barack obama was selling christmas ornaments out of the white house they'd lose their minds okay so let's just pick that up and set it aside but then i went to exactly where your head was just in your last statements is this money for these ornaments is not going to the some white house fund or to the american people i imagine this is just my opinion i was like well who would be getting this i was like oh this might be melania melania you know i don't give a fuck about the christmas and so um she probably is getting this money uh because they see and this is something i don't know if those middle american people will ever see or i kind of think they kind of support it because they have pastors in their churches that rip them off that fleece them so it's comfortable that form of financial abuse is something that's familiar and so comfortable for them they kind of feel like okay donald trump's super entitled and they feel like in this real toxic codependent way that it's well yeah of course he's profiting off the presidency he's a smart businessman right i think it's smart as shit for him to be selling these christmas ornaments right good on him and they it's such a familiar con to these people and i just remember growing up in oklahoma and these friends would always try to recruit me to go to churches and then i would go to the churches and it was an advertisement for not wanting to go to church because the pastors lived these you know insane luxury lifestyles and these working-class people are going and throwing all this money into the tithing bowl and i thought my god what it what is what a scam this whole thing is and that's where that's why the republican party brilliantly uh velcroed themselves to the evangelical movement decades ago which helped incubate this entire movement but let's talk about ted's story a little bit about ted cruz he wants to run for president pop this up ted cruz signals a possible 2028 challenge to jd vance i'll certainly be part of the discussion and i just want to go on the record right now i'm endorsing ted cruz on the republican side if for nothing else it gives you some juicy fodder to hate because he is i don't know who's more unlikable jd or ted i gotta go ted you think ted yeah because ted's just i've hated ted longer yeah you know i've been more in a monogamous hate relationship with ted jd is new fairly new for me you know it i mean it's it's like a four you know like three year thing with me and jd but ted and i we go way back i've hated on him i've hated on ted for years for decades i hated this and so i have to go ted cruz that's just 100 why i'm endorsing him i want ted cruz front and center i want his fat ass out there all day every day lying i cannot wait to play his ridiculous clips where he's like kamala harris you're not taking my cheeseburger ted nobody wants your cheese ted we can tell we can tell that kamala didn't take your cheeseburger okay between you and your burger we've seen the cancun photos the profile buddy kamala didn't take enough of your cheeseburgers so i welcome it what's your take on lion ted you know what is so funny to me it's just i there's a part of me that is fascinated by the hubris i mean he is well aware that the only thing that democrats and republicans on the hill can agree on is the hatred for him donald trump has said it repeatedly it has been made clear to him in every presidential election he is not liked he's not likable yes he has his little swath in texas but he still keeps coming the arrogance the hubris it it really i'm it interests me to a great degree isn't this a feature of republican politicians they all kind of have this they do but ted is like the inability to feel to feel shame or to be locked in i think that you kind of have to have that characteristic to run delusions totally yeah yeah i totally agree uh like subscribe we'll be back later
