Let us count all the ways ...
The SIX Reasons Trump Will Never Return to the White House
Bulwark Podcast Clip: April 30, 2024
Tim Miller and Simon Rosenberg provide the six biggest reasons Donald Trump is unlikely to win the presidency in November.
Here are most of the highlights (annotated for readability, from YouTube auto transcript):
Let's go through the six things that voters are about to find out about Donald Trump, that they didn't know about him in 2020, when he lost.
Number one is that he raped E. Gene Carroll in a department store dressing room number.
Two, that he oversaw one of the largest financial frauds in all of American History; has been fined half a billion dollars for it; and he and his two sons have been banned from doing large amounts of business in New York state.
Three is that he stole America's Secrets. He lied to the FBI about it. He shared those secrets with other people. It is without question the greatest betrayal of America by a former president.
Four is that he tried to overturn an election. He led an armed attack on the capital, and on one of the only days that all 435 members are there; and he's promised to end American democracy for all time, if he stumbles into the White House in January of 2025
Fifth is that he and his family have corruptly taken more money from foreign governments than any political family in the history of the country.
And six, the singularly responsible for ending Roe, and stripping the rights and freedoms away of more than half the population.
Any one of those six things are going to be difficult for him to overcome. I don't think he can overcome all six; and none of those things are contingent upon him getting convicted in a court of law.
These are all just facts on the ground. We know they happened.
And it's important that we start prosecuting our case against him with force, because the American people deserve to understand who they're voting for in this election, this Donald Trump.
This Donald Trump to me is far weaker; far more degraded. His performance on the stump is far more atrocious and disturbing than it's ever been. And he's a far more dangerous and extreme figure than he was.
We can't wait for Mueller. We can't wait for Jack Smith. We can't wait for the Supreme Court. WE got to go get this done.
After some back and forth, and noticing that Trump’s tendency is to return to his worst hits ever (like Charlottesville’s ‘very fine people’), guest commentary Simon Rosenberg (of the Hopium Chronicles) continues to describe strikes 7, 8, 9, and 10 etc … that Trump and his floundering Campaign have against them:
Listen, my niece spent years working in a dementia ward, in a memory loss ward in a in a nursing home. And one of the first things that happens when you start declining, is your impulsivity gets out of control.
You can't -- you have impulse control problems. He is demonstrating unbelievable impulse control and impulsivity issues. He can't help himself.
I mean every time he speaks, he's making horrendous mistakes. I mean coming out against the ACA, I think just in the last few weeks.
This idiotic decision that he made to um, go do the state's rights on an abortion. Which I think he thought was some kind of genius move: he sort of threaded the needle. And yet what he was doing in his idiocy, was:
actually endorsing the most extreme abortion bands in the country,
and if he's okay with Idaho anywhere, he's okay with Idaho everywhere
and what he did was that he cemented himself as the most dangerous abortion extremist in the country; and he thought he was doing something else.
I think that that his campaign is now being driven by these impulsive outbreaks, where he says things, that as you know as somebody who's been in the business, he's making the kind of mistakes the candidates who lose make.
Coming out against the ACA was idiotic.
The decision he made on the abortion issue was idiotic.
You know and he's making idiotic impulsive statements.
Which is why they're trying to keep him away from the camera. I mean he's barely doing campaign events, because I think they realized that every time he spoke, he was digging his you know his hole deeper.
So he's look he's got a very serious problem, and something I think you understand is that, he has no capacity to make positive news
I mean he's not in the White House. His business is a total you know 'shit show.'
I mean his new company [ stock DJT ] has dropped from 79 to the low 30s.
He's campaigning from the courthouse -- and not the White House -- as I call it.
He's he doesn't have the capacity the way that Biden does, to generate positive news stories.
I'm sorry him being in court, and being funny and having guards around him, is not helping him in this election.
It's reminding people about, you know that he's a serial criminal; and one of the most awful people to have ever walk the face of America.

When your opponents are self-destructing, get out the way.
Our job is to help the casual low-info voter to become aware of the myriad of reasons, for why voting for Donald Trump is a big mistake. And, also to support those Candidates making that case.
We can't wait for Mueller. We can't wait for Jack Smith. We can't wait for the Supreme Court. WE got to go get this done.
