Conviction? i'm of the theory i've shared with you before, there is not a trial until after the republican primary is likely decided, which would be arguably march 19th coming out of florida. we'll have a good idea if it's donald trump, ron desantis, or somebody else. if donald trump indeed has secured the nomination, that makes the question in front of the nation next summer going into the fall one of enormous gravity and of great consequence. do we elevate donald trump or not. >> you know, claire, everyone speaking out of both sides of their mouth on the right, to david's point, republican p...
