NewsNation Chief Washington anchor Leland Vittert warns Republicans that they are making the same mistake with the DSA that Democrats made with Donald Trump. “The idea by Republicans that Democrats are going to pick these two crazy socialists and therefore they’re going to lose and we can all move on because socialism is so terrible is exactly what Democrats said about Donald Trump,” he said. “That if we warn everybody enough about Donald Trump, then nobody will vote for him. That doesn’t work. We’ve proven that.” “What you are seeing by Republicans is this head in the ground. ‘Look at the, the big beautiful bill tax cuts.’ We saw today, Donald Trump putting out a true social saying, ‘Hey, the polling is as good as it has ever been.’ The real polling numbers, according to Trump, ‘Not those made up by the fake news, are the very best they have ever been and why wouldn’t they be?’ “OK, I guess if you poll the four people in his inner circle at the White House.” “No Republican believes that, but every Republican is too scared of Trump, to talk about that.” “And whether it is in Michigan and Wisconsin, where there is an enormous amount of enthusiasm behind the two socialist candidates, or in Ohio, where Sherrod Brown, the most boring person in America, boring senator ever, is probably going to be the next senator.” “Republicans want to way underpay, just like Democrats wanted to underpay in 2024.”
