CNN contributor Paul Begala said Monday on “The Lead” that if former President Donald Trump won the presidential primary, it would be a “catastrophe for the Republican Party.”
Guest host Bianna Golodryga said, “I want to read an excerpt from The New York Times op-ed written by a retired and staunchly conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig. He called the Republican base spineless for its continued support of Trump. He said if he is convicted on espionage charges and fails to shake the Republican Party to its political senses, that it is beyond saving, nor ought to be saved. Were you surprised by this take?”
Begala said, “The judge has stepped out. He testified so powerfully before the January 6 Committee. For people who don’t know, he’s one of the most respected, esteemed and conservative legal minds of the last half century, widely respected. For him to say that, he’s no liberal, for him to say that is quite shocking.”
He added, “Our last CNN poll, 23% of Republicans said they could never support Trump for the nomination. He’s the dominant candidate for the rest of the party. When you’re losing 23% of your party, some number will bleed over to the general election. Trump got 94% of Republicans against Joe Biden and it still wasn’t enough. He lost. The judge is right, they may find a situation where Trump is unbeatable for the nomination but unelectable in the general election. That’s catastrophe for the Republican Party.”

The “forehead” has spoken ...
Oh good. I want Trump to win even more now.
Because 'the Forehead" from the Clinton era has the best interests of Republicans at heart. (He definitely has no interest in the well being of the nation)
LOL the commie is trying to give a helping hand to the GOP..tells me they know that Trump would crush their demented selling state secrets and making lots of moolah buffoon
I hope America is awakening to the fact that both of our political parties constitute the enemy. We’re circling the drain and need to think about, not political parties but, the future of the country. It’s past time to do something drastic and vote for the best interests of America.
I agree. Time to start a new party “The American Party” and do away with the deep state.
Begala says this every week.
When playing pool,
never take advice from the opposition
Being politically prosecuted by this Department of Just-us is a badge of honor.
Belugas are jealous of that forehead.
If it was true, they would be building him up.
Is he thinking Trump veteran give a crap about the Republican Party?
He forgot to mention that Trump winning the election would be a catastrophe for the Democratic Party.
I think Begala is really a woman. I think he should be transgendered without his parents permission.
Veteran?- trump voters. They do not care about the do nothing gop.
If that were the case, then Begala would be cheering Trump on.
Was that an original thought?
Or was the CNN boy just regurgitating what Ronbots on Free Republic have been spewing?
Oh great. Another Clinton rat who should probably be in prison…
AMEN!!!
