joining me now is michael steele, former rnc chair and an msnbc political analyst and michelle goldberg, columnist with the new york times. my thanks to both of you are getting a start this evening. michael, i'd like to start with you. trump's language, we know, has always tested the limits of decency, but it is all becoming beyond the pale. it is almost like he's testing how far he can push this to a whole new level. what is your reaction? >> my reaction is straight up, where is the outrage? it happens, it has been happening. i do not hear americans out there going, wait a minute, that is not who we are, that is not what we want. but, maybe it is. i think we just need to be honest. you get, when the biden campaign or democrats or someone who is in the democracy space calls this out, what is the typical reaction to it? oh it's part of signal, oh it's political, we sort of water it down. then the press considers to cover it like it's news, and it is part of the horse race. it is not a part of the horse race, it is empathetic ulta everything we stand for at our core, or at least we used t

jen, michael steele, thank you so much for being here. jennifer palmieri, please explain to those of us who truly don't understand how anyone is undecided at this point. >> a lot of people have not thought about donald trump munch since he became the former president's united states. we all live and breathe we feel passionate about it but there was a good democracy court today which was run by democratic strategists stand greenberg, james -- . they did a poll that show that even among voters who supported joe biden in 2020, having a retrospective's, giving trump a higher approval rating retrospectively that they give joe biden right now. there is a lot of forgetting. amnesia, and also there's a lot of focus groups and polling were people doubted on trump's actually gonna be the nominee. we're just not focused on. and they do remember that for a one case redoing better pre-covid, and they remember that the war, the world seems to be a little calmer prefer covid in the trump years, but they don't, they just don't believe them trump is going

you heard michael steele say that. this picture where the expectations are so high for donald trump, he's almost a victim of his own success. anything less than double digit wipe out, where he wins by 20 or 30 points, in iowa, would be a little bit of an eye racer. and if god forbid for trump, if nikki haley is within single digits or if it's a lot closer, more of an upset happens, then the whole thing collapses because the other economic taking place is that if you look at polls, alicia, nikki haley's movement like a speeding bullet in the state of new hampshire. and a bed showing in iowa, a bad result in new hampshire would be very, very, very problematic for donald trump. >> michael steele, that analysis. the possibility. i do think there's some truth to the fact that, one, donald trump has tried to portray himself as an inevitability. that is part of what we see all the time -- i do understand also reading these numbers it would seem it is more or less an inevitability. but is there a possible alternate reality whe

and michael steele is, god love him. this normalization of stuff that, at its base level, is incredibly corruptive. basically just insane that we are even considering a republican nominee who is on trial in three states now, possibly more? it just shows this complete collapse of the republican party as any sort of moral governing force. >> what happens, michael? on monday night liz cheney will be talking to rachel maddow. you have the stuff that mitt romney has just written. you have seen these departures are various republicans who decided that they are not gonna run again. what is the point of staying? what can you do? you are one of the few people who are not a former republican, used to call yourself a republican. which says to me that you intend to do something or you hope that there is something you can do to fight and bring this party back. what is it? >> part of it, hallie, -- i get that question a lot, as you can imagine. my friend stewart did. you looked at me like, do, you go work that out. the reality of it i

michael steele is former rnc chair and msnbc political analyst.iowa pollster behind the survey says everything that can happen has happened in this contest, yet trump is now past the majority threshold with 51%. what's the game plan now? >> the trump sources have spent $250 million in eight months and have gone from 15 points behind to more than 25 points behind in every key state including the latest iowa poll, in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. they have fally fallen further behind. they haven't run a campaign to take on the main candidate in this race. everybody with the exception of chris christie who has had nothing to spend on media, has gone after each other. their strategy has made no sense for me from the start. it's all fed into donald trump dominating this. one of the numbers you didn't show, of the people that have made up their mind, donald trump wins the vast majority. his support is more solid than ron desantis and nikki haley. my guess is they don't change their strategy in the course of this. this is a race where donald trump

i'm michael steele, and for jonathan kaye part.2023 comes to a close, donald trump's legal troubles are ratcheting up. yesterday, asbestos counsel jack smith asked an appeals court to reject trump's efforts to dismiss his federal election interference case on the grounds of presidential immunity. we are still waiting to see if the supreme court will weigh in on trump's ballot eligibility. in the last two weeks, both colorado and maine have ruled that trump'sconstitutionally ineligible, citing the 14th amendment. while states like michigan in california have decided to allow trump to stay on the ballot. as 2024 approache trump is facing a mix of campaigning in courtrooms. trump's facing up to five separate trials in the new year with the e. jean carroll defamation trial is set to begin on january 16. that's just one day after the iowa caucuses. with trump holding a commanding lead over his republican challengers for the white house, will any of his legal troubles make a difference? will it matter at all? well, joining me now, barbar

people who challenged trump's eligibility, former portland mayor ethan -- told my colleague, michael steele, about why he filed the complaint. >> well, i think everybody after january 6th was sort of shaking their heads, saying to themselves, how is this even possible? the man in the white house is trying to block the peaceful transfer of power through a violent insurrection. and that moment, we all were thinking he needs to be impeached, number one. and then number two,, can certainly never be allowed back into the white house. >> folks, secretary bellows was not setting off on a fishing expedition. she was doing what the state of maine says is required of her. but this week's decision in maine, it's just one partf a broader reckoning for the stability of our democracy, and the ability of our constitution to preserve it. the colorado republican party recently asked a u.s. supreme court to review a ruling from the colorado supreme court that removed donald trump from the ballot in their state. the state supreme court also stated its ruling, until january for, to allow for appeals. and then

that's where we start this add with danielle holley, and michael steele, and with me at the table foundern the flesh, how nice to see you, my friend. >> great to see you. >> what do you think? >> i think the supreme court in colorado got it right. what struck me in so much of the commentary in the last, what, 24 or 12 hours or so, is how many people recognize that fundamentally the court got it right. donald trump incited an insurrection, a violent mob to sack the capitol, to prevent the certification of the election for president of the united states, that he was a former officer, he took an oath, and therefore under the plain meaning, he is disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment. instead of stopping there, they offer several excuses. look, the rules are the rules. the constitution says what it is. and for a country that has come to accept what are pretty outrageous rulings from the u.s. supreme court around, for example, the absolute epidemic of gun violence, because they insist on a plain and absurd reading of the constitution. for people to then say in this case it's a bri
