republicans who are refusing to take action on an issue they clapriority. and asked the question whether they re smart enough to get away with it, which i actually, you know, started thinking over the past couple days. you ve got all of these republicans who are following this guy from louisiana, who just sort of stumbled into the speakership and doesn t seem to be that effective. this guy is now putting around the republican s political neck an open border for the next eight months and all that that brings, the collapse of ukraine, to former soviet kgb agent s invasion, and the refusal to fund israel in its time of need. so you have all of these republicans in the house, a lot of them who want to do the right thing but they re blindly following this young, inexperienced speaker who is blindly following there you go. a guy with 91 counts against him. that s the important point right there. yes, it s speaker johnson voicing this, but he is a vessel for what donald
call themselves conservative and will likely dominate his way through the rest of the primaries despite what nikki haley does or does not do. but november 5th, 2024, is not a primary race and a candidate cannot rely on the strength of their base alone, and that is where it is helpful to read between the lines of last night s vote. unlike iowa, which is a lock for the gop, new hampshire s electorate is swingy trump lost moderates to haley, two lost college graduates to haley, and three, lost independents to haley, it is a problem, especially when 68% of independents flat out said they will not vote for him. and 42% of primary voters say they don t think someone convicted of a crime would be fit to be president, if that happens to donald trump. a reminder, for all we talk about the general election, what we really mean is the general election in six specific states. arizona, nevada, georgia, michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania. you see them there. so let us untangle what we k

here. jesse: welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. i m will in for jesse. you re looking now at a live shot of a trump rally in concord, new hampshire, where we expect senator tim scott to endorse the former president and we ll bring you those comments live when they happen but in the meantime, there is nothing a politician loves more than a photo op. whether it s michael dukakis or john kerry in a spacesuit. they will go out of their way to cover up their failures in policies, that is, until they have a mess that s undeniable on their hands. we re 10 months away from an election and joe biden has a messy border crisis with his fingerprints all over it. after trump s big win in iowa the cnn s and msnbc s can t ignore this problem of immigration. this may come as a surprise to democrats but voters don t like hundreds of thousands of unchecked illegals just walking into our country. biden is trying to smack the cameras away and say everything is fine. and
