This was just batsh*t crazy to me. On one hand, you have NBC’s Chuck Todd admitting that Democrats can’t unify their party without the media creating a common evil—In this case, that’s Trump. On the other hand, you have Todd absolutely panicked that one day Trump will step away and Democrats will have to face their voters empty-handed.
Todd was busy playing the moderator of the panel on Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press. During the show he voiced doubt that Democrats would be able to win states like Arizona and Georgia without the late President Donald Trump. This is a kind of admission by leftist media elites like Todd that they are attacking Trump as a distraction from their harmful goal and deflecting attention away from it.
You cannot deny that this is insane. Todd is fearful that they won’t always have Trump to utilize as a prop to frighten liberal voters as he looks into the future.
Todd turned to panelist and NBC political analyst Cornell Belcher and expressed his concerns for the future of the Democrat Party if Trump goes away: “the victorious Democratic coalition of the last I’d say ’18, ’20, ’22, so three cycles in a row, Donald Trump’s played a huge part in it.”
“If Donald Trump is not there, how concerned are you about carrying places like an Arizona and a Georgia? Todd asked.
Belching up an answer in response, Belcher replied: “part of the problem is that if Donald Trump isn’t there, look. Look at the base of the Republican Party and who is choosing these nominees. Herschel Walker was such a terrible candidate.”
He speculated that since “Republican primary voters picked him” as well as the “terrible Trump candidates,” in Arizona, Belcher believes that “even if Trump doesn’t go away, I still like the odds that they’re going to continue to pick these Trump-like individuals.”
Continuing to smear the Republican candidates in Arizona, Belcher huffed that “[Blake] Masters and this sort of anti-semitism, racist, you know, replacement theory crap that you get from Donald Trump, you’re getting from an awful lot of these Republican candidates.”
Todd and this panel only demonstrated that they fully intend to utilize Trump and his supporters to ‘persuade’ leftist voters long after Trump has retired and moved on. Talk about thinking ahead—What a bunch of goons.
