it lets give out to don lemon.his career ending mistake he made, saying that nikki haley was past her prime. it is my favorite video ever because his hands on his hips. >> google says the exact opposite. the real story here, he only did that because he was so craven in his desire to find something to criticize, a republican woman who was running for president. >> if you are employed by cnn, if you are, you made that statement, you probably would not have finished the sentence before you got fired. don lemon, let's punish him a little bit. they are scared to death. if they believe in economics you and i would have a show. it is very expensive. that is the thing, larry. they could be successful, they choose not to. >> it is more important to pursue their creepy agenda. >> a couple of years ago, there was a president, i told him all you have to do is let rush limbaugh have a show. he said, do you have any other ideas? >> how much do you love chaya and what she did for tiktok? chaya: thank you. >> nobody makes money wi

i cannot do a don lemon segments without commenting on don lemon. i don't watch the oscars.at the oscars. that was very unexpected. >> david: by the way, he was escaping communism. he was running away from exactly what the world is running towards right now. we should remember that. >> harris: that is so interesting. while, thank you for being with us. remember, when you cannot be with us, dvr us. "america reports" starts now. ♪ ♪ >> sandra: fox news alert now appeared after visiting iowa and florida, ron desantis is visiting another primary state with speculation growing over his 2024 presidential ambitions. he will have my enough fund-raising gala that is happening next month. >> john: continues to claim that the trips to battlegrounds to it are just part of the book tower, but is he using the visis a 2024 test run as a g.o.p. field gets more crowded? david and kevin are here to weigh in o

that's younger than don lemon.t's also younger than hunter biden, and it's 30 years younger than joe biden. [applause] but don says women have to be in their 20's or 30's to be in their prime, and the left say we are sexist. liberals are the most sexist by far. for the record, i was right. every politician and judge should have to take a competency test. if you want to start at age 50, i'm good with that, to. don lemon proves cnn should probably consider that as well. liberals attack me because they don't like who i am what i say. i'm running for president to stop america's downward spiral toward socialism and and the self-loathing that has taken over our country. i'm running for president to renew an america that is strong and proud, not weak and woke. [cheers and applause] when i look to the future, i see our country rededicated to freedom and opportunity, but when i look at the present, i see the total opposite. joe biden and the democrats are giving us oppression, poverty, and lawlessness. this is not the ameri

that was not mentioned by co-host don lemon.an over 40 was attempt to take down a conservative republican female presidential candidate, but it turned don lemon into a bigger punch line than he was before. overall on the night no real surprises last night t was refreshing that there were no surprises because brendan fraser westerning for his incredible performance in "the whale." that was wildly expected. america love as good comeback story. that guy is definition. everywhere was big picture. haven't seen it, make that your movie night sometime. an inspiring movie. just so original. so i enjoyed the evening quite frankly. for most parts, stu. stuart: joe concha, stayed up late and enjoyed the oscars that is really something. you're an early morning guy. i know that. we have pan opinion editor at msnbc called the movie top "top gun: maverick" the most insidious movie at the oscars. because the film shows our military as a beacon of virtue. they can't get behind the military. they will never mention china. never be honest about is

it is interesting to see if they play that clip and if don lemon acknowledges what he said on the aires to explain it. overall, i mean, jimmy kimmel was okay, i don't know why we don't just dust off billy crystal. when he hosted oscars 57 million watched, probably 15 million watched last night. you got to root for a guy like brendan fraser, who was basically a '90s act or. to see somebody come back like this, he came back for "the whale." it is inspiring to see. this guy was seen as an action hero kind of guy, did good movies in the '90s, like tom cruise in a sense, he's back on the big screen and killed it. it wasn't a bad night, it wasn't as political as i thought it would be. >> todd: dr. fauci lashing out as republicans and elon musk for calling on him to be prosecuted, watch this. >> no response to the craziness. prosecute me for what? what are they talking about? i wish i could figure out what the heck they are talking about, they are going off the deep end. >> todd: musk tweeting, my pronouns are prosecute/fauci. what is your reaction, joe? joe concha good to see dr. fauci run

he's talking tonight with cnn anchors allison cameron and don lemon. ellison. don anderson. thank you very much we do want to bring in michael cohen. michael thank you so much for being here with us. don and i obviously have a lot of questions for you, as do the american people to of you back together. we appreciate you joining us. what a day it is for you today. and so this took a lot of people by surprise, including the amount of charges against former president so this is expected to be a 34 count indictment. 34 felony charges. do you understand why so many? yes i understand. i can't go in and i can't discuss it. however 34 is a pretty significant number. it certainly goes well past the stormy daniels. hush money payments are some of these because you received multiple payments again. i can't go into any of the specifics of this case. it's just not right to due to the prosecutors. this is their case, one of the things that i continues to say is that at the end of the day, there is a since and you know, we do have to respect the do was and this case will ultimately be know

he's talking tonight with cnn anchors allison cameron and don lemon. ellison. don anderson. thank you very much we do want to bring in michael cohen. michael. thank you so much for being here with us. don and i obviously have a lot of questions for you. as do the american people have you back together? we appreciate you joining us. what a day. it is for you today. and so this took a lot of people by surprise, including the amount of charges against former president so this is expected to be a 34 count indictment. 34 felony charges. do you understand why so many? yes i understand. i can't go in and i can't discuss it. however 34 is a pretty significant number. it certainly goes well past the stormy daniels. hush money payments are some of these because you received multiple payments again. i can't go into any of the specifics of this case. it's just not right to due to the prosecutors. this is their case, one of the things that i continues to say is that at the end of the day, there is a presumption of innocence. since and you know we do have to respect the due process clause

that's odd really is a factual matter what don lemon said is true.ple in their 50s are literally, certainly physically, past their prime. that's fact. take it from someone who is 53 so i would let such a controversial point? of all the demented things that don lemon has said over the years, noticing somebody's age is what blows up his career? yes. because that simple commonplace observation, people we can with age, points to power that will forever remain beyond human authority which is the power to control time. no matter how rich we are, we cannot prevent ourselves from getting older. we can buy botox and hair plugs and face-lifts. joe biden has bought all of that. in the end, we degrade anyway because we are not god. accepting this fact that we are not god, working within the preordained limits of nature, is the key to balance and happiness in this human life. ignoring that fact leads to insanity. or in the case of modern america it leads to the trans agenda and climate theology. if you asked 100 honest people to name things human beings cannot co

i think the situation on cnn with don lemon questioning and saying she was out in her prime when she just 51 years old is in a way, we know those comments were taking offensively, that is helped bolster her profile. she fundraiser on it and talking about that issue. there is excitement and she has seen uptick in the pole. she's not backdu

was it don lemon or steve doocy? >> pete: interesting.oing to go steve doocy. >> jesse: both going with the dooce. what is it? >> according to "the washington post" for the entree portion the president ordered the rig tony. >> pete: i thought he was still a morning show co-host. >> pete: same thing. >> jesse: you didn't watch your own program? >> pete: i watch on occasion when i get up early. >> pete: don lemon is still doing the morning show. >> katie: i like a lot of people don't watch cnn. i get points to that. >> jesse: both still 0-0. a popular strip club trying to change their business license to become america's first topless pot dispensary. which state is it in? is it california or massachusetts? >> pete: i'm going to go california. >> jesse: cally? >> pete: difference here. massachusetts field a little buttoned up. california fast and loose. >> jesse: i like what you are thinking. is pete right? >> massachusetts is known as the bay state. >> katie: wow. >> pete: look how far we have gone. >> jesse: topless pot shops in massachuse

the best thing that could've happened to that issue to be put to bed and for don lemon to be reminded picked up on it. everyone heard it thought it was wrong. he admitted it was wrong but it's still a good jab. as he thought he didn't mention it today. isn't it weird? >> jesse: i can't believe that cnn is a punch line at the oscars and fox news isn't. lots is changing this country. >> harold: we got a few punch lines. >> jesse: they did? they hate us? i will have to go back and watch. never. >> kennedy: i was ironing socks last night, real pressing issues. harold. >> harold: congratulations, i didn't see that movie. the only movie that i saw was "top gun." but i watch jamie lee curtis, i'm a huge fan of hers. she just gave a great speech honoring her mom and her dad. congratulations to her. she was in "trading places." >> kennedy: asked why tyrus likes are too. that is so weird. >> brian: best documentary, navalny. that was pretty good. >> dana: up next, america, you've been warned. a new study says your unwashed reusable water bottle can hold more bacteria than a toilet seat, harbori

don lemon got suspended from his show at cnn recently forntil suggesting that a presidential candidate in her 50s was, quote, past her prime. is a >> and that's odd, really, as a ma factual matter. what don lemont do said is true. people in their fifties aretaini literally certainly physically past their prime . ke it from that's a fact. someone w take it from someone who'sho is fifty three . so why was that such a controversial point of all dea the demented things that don lemon has said overyears, the years, noticing somebody age? >> what blows up his career? yes, because that simple,ation,l commonplace observation, people weaken with agwe can we points a power that will forever remain beyond human authority, which is the power to control time. e, >> no matter how rich we are,ca we cannot prevent ourselves from getting older. we can buy botox and hair plugsi and facelifts. joe biden has bought all of inat, but in the end we degrade anyway. the end, y because we are not because we are not god accepting this fact that wee are not god working within o the preordained limits off natus na

he testified in the manhattan da's investigation multiple times he spoke to don lemon and me tonight, and our interview with him is right after this. age related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss. and if you're taking a multivitamin alone, you may be missing a critical piece preservation preservation area contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amg progression. preservation is backed by 20. years of clinical studies your doctor about adding preservation and fill in the missing piece of your plan, like i did with preservation. now with accuser better absorbing nuients, electricity coming out of their hands to me when i speak age girls, you got this thing we all do. we got it because we need. one girl. i'd say it was a random mutation, but it's thousands. i just feel like £100 lighter. 100 times stronger. can you imagine growing up with that kind of freedom? new series march 31st on prime video. i have a surprise for you. i have a surprise for you. what let's say that

it lets give out to don lemon. saying that nikki haley was past her prime. it is my favorite video ever because his hands on his hips. >> google says the exact opposite. the real story here, he only did that because he was so craven in his desire to find something to criticize, a republican woman who was running for president. >> if you are employed by cnn, if you are, you made that statement, you probably would not have finished the sentence before you got fired. don lemon, let's punish him a little bit. they are scared to death. if they believe in economics you and i would have a show. it is very expensive. that is the thing, larry. they could be successful, they choose not to. >> it is more important to pursue their creepy agenda. >> a couple of years ago, there was a president, i told him all you have to do is let rush limbaugh have a show. he said, do you have any other ideas? >> how much do you love chaya and what she did for tiktok? chaya: thank you. >> nobody makes money with a twitter account. she has been

. >> it would be funny if he had hinted all that footage to don lemon. edited it to show all the hot guys. >> it would have been very short , by the way. >> greg: >> i don't think were paying enough attention for schumer calling for censorship right what we have seen in the past five years with social companie and government is the governmen is telling private company, you better, and that is it, it's in plain view he says to fox, censor this. >> you have an obligation and that is just not true. that is kind of scary and it should be scary regardless of what you think about what tucke said or if you totally agree or if you kind of agree or if you totally disagree. if you think it's horrible everything he's doing. chuck schumer can say that, i disagree with what tucker is saying what is scary to say tha you have an obligation to stop this because he is a really hig ranking government official. i can't think of any situation where someone is saying that an i would be okay with that. it was about how much i suck freight and feel like you have to let it roll

a cnn contributor judging integrity is like asking don lemon to judge a weather t-shirt -- wet t-shirter expected today to be quite as emotional for me as it has been. you guys held. you know, democracies are not defined by our bad days. we are defined by how we come back from bad days. [laughter] >> greg: that man can cry in any situation. that is probably why he never gets speeding tickets. pete, you know him. what happened? [laughter] is it just one word, trump? >> i am not a doctor. i would like to diagnose him with the gnarliest case and it happened rapidly and then he of course got in cahoots with democrats. he landed in cnn and the ironic part is he wants to points out the extremism of people who want attention so he wraps people in straitjackets and sends them to capitol hill? to get as much attention as humanly possible? i want tons of attention for my extreme protests so we should be really moderate. >> greg: exactly, it is really more about him. he has got this chip on his soldier -- shoulder. >> it is kind of brilliant. i would like to at this point. rebrand all of my own a

unless sacks has a sale on handbags, don lemon would say. [laughter] [applause] yeah. ] he is actually freelancing for the show. he wrote that. thank you, don. we will have a nice dinner. that is a call back. all right. i don't blame women for wanting to be cops at all. it is the only way for women in new york to feel safe. you are almost on equal footing with the criminals. but not everyone is thrilled with ditching the running regulation. the commissioner wanted to keep it as many active-duty cops that lowering the already low standards will her public safety. supporters say it will increase their sales. i did not feel strongly about that one either. i was thinking about taking it out. it is no surprise new york does not care if cops can run because democrats always let the perps walk which is why the only things, are not in a hurry to do now is retire. burn! >> top looking at me. >> greg: in order to have more women on the police force, they have to do away with the writing standards. do you think women can't run fast? i thought women could run fast. >> this is not r

it is repackaged like when cnn moved don lemon to the morning show. >> racial separatists like to sayngs like, my culture is not your costume as if it is something to be hoarded incident should. there are obviously enough exceptions like when dylan mulvaney, a male or once a male, co-opts an entire gender and marking it with barely fairly stereotyped. and so as an interview with our casino president. porte joe biden. he probably thought audrey hepburn needed a shave. [laughter] but again, i don't care. we are not in a division. that is bigotry. especially since the same people saying that you should not enjoy other cultures are the same ones who complained that if you leave out minorities, you are erasing them. sorry, this is america and you are free to participate in our rich and diverse culture in its entirety. that is the whole trend eight-point of this place. you can sing any song you want unless it is maroon 5. and capital punishment is the only option. [cheers and applause] tonight, a guest. he is -- my friends. that sounds mysterious. chris perrin. [cheers and applause] >> he i

sounds like something don lemon wears on spring break. of course, that disinfo claim was ridiculous to begin with. i mean what was the -- the theory supposed to be anyway? that putin set up a fake computer repair shop in wilmington? just on the remote chance a decade later a presidential candidate's crack head's son would stumble inside, might swing a presidential election. that conspiracy theory is as thin as joe's hair. on his head. but also, hunter wouldn't sew anybody for violating his privacy if his fake evidence was planted by the ruskie service, just pretending they never made that claim which suggests joe's dementia was more contagious than covid. so, you know what i noticed lately? we were right. about everything. we me, you, if you agree with me, if you don't go screw yourself. let's go over. a few other stories we nailed that the rest of the media didn't. tiktok is indeed spying us for the chinese government. i wouldn't applaud that. now, i'm not on tiktok for obvious reasons, first i am not a 14 year old girl yet. still waitin

and still gets better ratings than don lemon.hat can drive a movie star to leave it all behind to join an uncertain future, one that may in fact offers a way out. today, we are watching a narrative pumped up by algorithm and corporations, it preserves the power of such algorithms in corporate bosses. it directs our behavior by spiking the anger of every headline missing facts. it is genius, really up by algorithm a corporations and citing conflicts. it directs our behavior by spiking our anger with every headline of missing facts. as long as we as a nation fights amongst ourselves, we can't fight them. >> it is like i am aging backward. five years from now, i will be doing a show in diapers. that's how i feel about russell. p>> you are stealing oxygen you are wasting time. your name and your weird facial. and your views and your emptiness and echoing tub of your mind. [ applause ] >> very good. >> after describing my face as an anus, he received thousands of complaint letters from anuses. the anus is very important. i can crack a

covered for so long involving trump's attempts to overturn the georgia election, and my colleague don lemonre considering adding racketeering and other conspiracy charges there to the effort. you have said that racketeering charges are an area that they might be pursuing and might be coming, and what does it mean if they are? >> well, so the rico statue, the gift to prosecutors, it is to use the whole story. and most viewers have heard of relevance objections in court, and if the judge can have something relevant or irrelevant, and the rico can allow you talk about everything, and things that are not part of the indictment, and sort of the conduct of one person of the criminal enterprise does something wrong, you can look at it for a reason of blame, and so i am not surprised at all to see her using it. she has had a lawyer working on racketeering cases that has helped her before, and so you think of them usually thinking about gangs or drug organizations, and think about the mafia, and that is what you are thinking of with the racketeering cases, and it is going to be interesting to take t

don lemon, not excellent, not a winner.america, we should be able to say that. >> jesse: all right. you can come into my locker room any time. thank you so much. happy saint patrick's day and have a great weekend. >> rachel: you got it. bye, jesse. >> jesse: all right. it's that time of the year the entire nation is hooked on madness and "primetime" wanted to get in on the action. you guys love to text us how much you love our nic names on the show mini madoff, sticky sammy, we will bring the march madness to you and now we are asking you to vote on your favorite "primetime" nicked fraughtsters region. we got mini madoff. crooked, giggly wicken and wolf of washington. mini. as much as i like the giggly wick can. mini madoff. probably the guy coming out of the fraud is officers region. paulie p. the naughty niece. you remember she had all the plastic, $100,000 on makeup? so she is a four c. seed. paulie p. dougie breath. just ask jill. up against the fresh prince. you remember that is paulie p.'s son. kind of a weed guy. i s

don lemon did not seem to like that too much.my beer. i am 51 which is younger than don lemon and it's also younger than hunter biden and its 30 years younger than joe biden. [applause] >> but don says women have to be in their 20's or 30's to be in their prime. liberals are the most sexist by four. [applause] >> for the record, i was right, every politician and judge should have to take a competency test. if you want to start at age 50, i'm good with that. i would not say the same for sexist anchors but don lemon prove that cnn should do that as well. liberals a technique because they don't like who i am or what i say. i am running for president to stop the american downward spiral -- spiral for socialism and and the self loathing that has taken over her country. i'm running for president to renew an america that is strong and proud, not weak and woke. [applause] when i moved to the dish when i look to the future, i see our country re-dedicated to freedom and opportunity but when i look at the present, i see the total opposite.

nancy from houston, newark should have contacted don lemon. he knows how to google stuff.er cities. please call them sibling cities so no one gets their feels hurt. you would do well at signature bank. hank it, my tkpwar her refusal to take out the trash. tucker's up next. always remember. i'm waters and this is my world. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to tucker carlson. most people got poorer during the covid lockdowns. they're finding out now, unfortunately. but the tech companies got a whole lot richer. politicians forced the entire population indoors at gun point to millions of people had no choice but to live out their lives in the lonely hell of the internet. that turned out to be a disaster for america as risin

donald trump's former personal attorney, michael cohen, spoke to don lemon on cnn this morning followingis appearances before the grand jury in new york. listen to this exchange. >> do you believe that an indictment is imminent? >> i do. >> do you think it could happen sooner rather than later? >> let's hope it's sooner rather than later. everyone needs to be held accountable, to the same standard of the law, and that includes former presidents. >> based on your reporting, maggie, how is the trump team preparing for a potential indictment in manhattan? >> it's interesting, wolf. what michael cohen was saying speaks to the heard of what you're going to hear trump and allies -- maybe not trump specifically, but his allies and some of his closest folks say which is that this is -- they've been saying it's a, quote, unquote, weak case. they don't know what the evidence is. what it is is a smaller case compared to the other cases he's facing michael cohen's stance is equal justice under the law. it's not clear how prepared they are legally in the case. we don't yet know what the charges will

and it is because of what don lemon and others were reporting that the district attorney was considering racketeering and conspiracy charges, this is along the lines of what she has previously said was being considered but again idea being that the former president and his effort to remain in office to try to find votes and try to find people in the -- officials there in the state of georgia to help him overturn the election, that would be the case that they are trying to bring. according to the reporting that we have, they have at least three recordings of the former president urging georgia officials to do this. so that is part of what is now being looked at there. >> house republicans say that they are planning their own investigation of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. the chairman of the judiciary oversight and house administration committees want bragg to testify calling his probe of trump an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority. dana bash reports that trump is using his legal troubles to win sympathy from his legal supporters. >> the former president understands,

eastern along with don lemon and poppy harlow for "cnn in morning". >>> we have an update on mitch mcconnelluffered a concussion last week. his office says mcconnell has been discharged from the hospital and will now receive physical therapy at an impatient rehab facility. mcconnell's spokesman revealing 981-year-old senator also was treated for a minor rib fracture. just ahead, severe flooding across california is expected to get a lot worse as residents there brace for another brutal rain storm. we'll go there live. that's next. with voya, consisidering all your financial choices together can help you make smartrter decisions. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected. wayfair's got just what you need for your home. do they have stylish beds at great prices? this bed is dreamy. what about five star dining sets? you're kelly clarkson. i love your work. find just what you need at wayfair! even a personal sauna. ♪ wayfair, you've got just what i need ♪ ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy

>> a source telling don lemon michael cohen is expected to appear again on monday in a meeting with prosecutorsy appear before the grand jury. cohen met with prosecutors today and left before 4:30 this afternoon, a full switcheven ho being inside. our cameras caught up and here is what they said. >> mr. cohen, has truth on his side and we were very impressed with the professionalism of this group of prosecutors and thanked mr. brag and the entire team. >> taking time to stay sigh lemt a -- silent and allow the d.a. to build the case. >> michael cohen was a central actor and that combination i'm kate -- indicates they are nearing a decision. >> we want to get reaction from the legal and political experts with us. elie, i'll start with you. what does the former president need to consider as he prepares to huddle with his legal team on this very, very sensitive issue over the course of the next couple days? >> wolf, the easy part of the advice is you are not going into the grand jury. you are not testifying. that can only harm donald trump. if i'm advising donald trump, i say look, here is the rea

we'll listened to don lemon and we googled it and reached out to a bunch of these cities and asked didost of the cities have confirmed these proclamations are, in fact true. jacksonville, north carolina told us, quote, our proclamation with kailasa are not an endorsement, they are a response to a request. and we do not verify the information that is requested. so, cities. if someone wants a proclamation someone gets a proclamation they will say you are exotic hindu island and name a street after you. it's just not mayors or city councils. the people running the federal government are falling for it, too. according to the pontiff of hinduism two members of congress have given kailasa special congressional recognition one of them is congresswoman nor that tores represents rancho kook honda. she is on a very powerful committee. the people who decide what we spend our tax dollars on just got duped by a fake country. it's not just democrats. both sides of the aisle, republican troy ball duerson from ohio also presented his divine holiness and pontiff of hinduism congressional recognition. n

>> you would think so -- i'm sorry d don lemon say this is the problem with fairness?hat -- >> tucker: it's so great! ha-ha. >> tucker, look, this is, as you mentioned, a total panic episode we're watching in realtime flailing by the corporate press because, yes, for years now, as you mentioned, over two years, they've crafted a narrative that really is a house of cards. no one really believes that what the media portrays which is that this is just another 9/11, the worst attack since the civil war, no one actually believes that. you look at poll after poll of the january 6th committee which really was in partnership with the media -- i mean, they actually had a former media executive at abc craft the committee's videos that you saw. i mean, it was a total partnership, and yet, it didn't move the needle at all. no one was swayed by the total sham that we saw from the january 6th committee and so now, yes, you would think media would you be curious about lots of elements of january 6th like, you know, who planted the bombs outside of the dnc and the rnc and the massive

. >> ladies, don lemon is past his prime time. please welcome townhall

our politicians with our tax dollars and our security if they can't even do something as basic as don lemonng former cia official and radio host buck sexton. i mean, kamala probably fell for this we are basically waiting on confirmation, buck. >> jesse, kamala was a big believer in the jussie smollett hoax, which i know fox nation has done an excellent job expanding our knowledge of in just the last few days. but this is a reminder, i think, of a few things. i mean, one is the calculation that so many of these different politicians made and, yeah, you pointed out this is not -- no one is getting to be a millionaire because of these little treaties of friendship that are being signed. but, the tie always go if you will to the hoaxster in this case. any chance that politician has to show that they are in good faith, showing how multi cultural around diverse they're, they are going to take that because even if they asked any questions, i think some of them would be worried oh my gosh, you don't know about kailasa -- i can't remember the name. you don't know about the wonderful nation of kailas

that ron desantis has the personality that trump has, and as they go head to head, i expect that don lemonnald trump will wipe the floor with ron desantis. somebody like a ron desantis is trying to be trump-like. >> david, yesterday trump said he might regret endorsing desantis' ngubernatorial campaign, saying ron desantis was dead as a door nail. does trump have himself to blame for desantis' popularity? >> certainly, ron desantis' popularity inside the republican nomination race is tied to the fact that there is a chunk of the party, as adam was saying, looking for an alternative to donald trump and they're hanging out around ron desantis right now in large numbers. yes, did donald trump come in and help ron desantis at a moment he needed it in the republican primary for governor in 2018? no doubt about it. but at this moment, that's not the popularity desantis is experiencing or donald trump is talking about. at this moment, his popularity is based on a dissatisfaction with trump at a new level inside the republican party, even though as the poll shows, he remains the clear front-runner
