manages to get 1% in the requisite polls and even if he gets some donations from people who just want to see him on that stage, you know, the whole rationale is he s running because he can smack donald trump around on the debate stage. but it s not clear that he can even clear that final hurdle to get on the stage. i think what s really interesting is all of the republicans that you would think in another year, you know, asa hutchinson in say 2012, an extremely popular, super conservative arkansas governor with this kind of presidential face, you would think he would be a top tier candidate. and now he s he can t even get 1%. right. there s also, like, the person who was vice president under this person who is, like,
conservative republican ken buck will not support him. it sounds pretty reasonable, like i said, it shouldn t be all that controversial, right? it seems like a fairly little bar to meet for someone seeking the nation s highest office. but of course, it is notable when any republican, not named romney or liz cheney, is even that part. just look at trump s opponents for the nomination who seem to be having a much tougher time handling this question. for the most part, they are saying the indictment is political, and that they will probably pardon him if they are elected president and he s not. he would absolutely pardon trump and challenged every other candidate to say the same thing, create a litmus test. nikki haley said she would be inclined to pardon him too. desantis flew through some crazy word salad that basically indicated that he would grant trump clemency. i would say as a 20-year veteran of political communications, it s a heck of a pitch to voters. i know you really like that
only this debt ceiling crisis but all future debt ceiling crises as well. if the president did that, and there s no sign that he will. if he did, it would have to hold up in court. who knows what the super conservative super majority on the supreme court would do with something like that? the treasury secretary reiterated that the threat is real. she reiterated in the letter that the threat of default is coming as soon as next week. june 1st. joining us now, vermont senator bernie sanders. one of the senators leading the push to invoke the 14th amendment as a way to end this crisis and all others like it. thanks for making time tonight. my pleasure. tell me your view of the practicality of the 14th amendment option. i feel like i understand the basic constitutional argument. where i get stuck is that this
biden to essentially call these negotiations off. they asked the president to instead invoke a provision in the 14th amendment of the constitution that would basically declare this debt ceiling idea unconstitutional, that would effectively end not only this debt ceiling crisis but all future debt ceiling crises as well. if the president did that and there s no sign that he will, but if he did do that, it would also have to hold up in court. and who knows what the super conservative super majority on the supreme court would do to something like that. treasury secretary janet yellen reiterated to congress today that the deadline is real, the threat is real. she reiterated in this letter today the threat of default is coming as soon as a week, june 1st. joining us today is senator sanders. it s really nice to see you.
