Rep. Jim Himes Is Worried About The ‘Donald Trump Wannabes Out There’ | Deadline | MSNBC
The World is worried about “Donald Trump Wannabes Out There” in our local politics’
@Nancy Ross Biden is like a breath of fresh air and I think the international community has a lot of confidence in him. But your countrymen also elected Trump, who just incited a violent attempted coup. That is absolutely shocking and it will take some time for the rest of the world to regain its confidence in the legitimacy of the US Government. I am rooting for you, I really am, but reports that the Senate is about to acquit Trump really does not give me a lot of confidence in the robustness of your democracy. I am deeply concerned that the US is rapidly becoming a richer version of Russia.
@Alli P not to worry.
@Alli P no worries mate. We’re good.
@Alli P Very well said. And unfortunately true.
@Alli P Sadly it will be too late before
Ditto
For years now…this was always the problem
the republican party is following a loser. period.
@Alli P they don’t want to lose the white supremacist supporters.
@Zazoo Kluk I agree and they’re now in an untenable position because of their cowardice. They’re losing the independents and even the moderate conservatives due to their support of the extremists. Their problem in 2024 is going to be that their most extreme candidates will win primaries but will get defeated by a huge margin in the general election. They already know that but they’re too scared of their base to stand up to them, which is why they’re trying to pass laws restricting voter rights in many states instead of changing their platform to make themselves more appealing to a wider selection of voters.
Multiple losers.
It’s not republicans following him. It’s people who actually believe in america. Unlike Communist psychopaths like yourself.
And remember donCONald trump hates losers so he hates himself the most
MAGAs in the Capitol: “Guess what? AMERICA SHOWED UP!!!”
Days later, Knock knock: “Guess what? THE FBI SHOWED UP!!! 😆😂
@Sweger Shanna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1n6mvRYjpQ
@Mimzy Jinx Yeah yeah, but but but what about….
@Wohooo What about this? It didn’t happen in one place and one time. It happened all over the country and instead of condemning it unconditionally, Democrats rewarded it. They shielded them from legal consequence by raising bail and released those arrested for protest violence WITHOUT CHARGE.

Know your leaders and you will know what party you belong too. Let’s start with the Democrats.
Democrat leadership
DNC
Jaime Harrison, president Biden, vice president Harris, , Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer
Republican leadership
RNC
Senator Mitt Romney, Elizabeth Cheney
Q Anon leadership
Q/RNC
Donald J Trump, Moscow Mitch McConnell, yellow streak Lindsey Graham, Big Mouth Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, and one of the biggest crying babies that ever ran for the House of Representative
Rep. Jim Jordan and your wannabe leaderships Rush Limbaugh , Sean Hannity , Lou Dobbs , Michael Flynn , Rodger Stone , Marjorie Greene , and the most embarrassing and sloppy is hygiene Steve Bannon are your Q Anon leaders and many more.
(Know your leaders and you will know what party you belong to in the three-party system)
@Mimzy Jinx HEY SUPER TROLL TRY HARDER 😂😂😂
Scary on how many wannabes are out there!
We only have to worry about the ones that try to do something with it.
They can be detected by signs of a narcissistic personality disorder.
Jonathan S – you do know that trump told people to March peacefully and patriotically right?
The rioters should be held accountable, but making the whole situation Trumps fault is plain wrong.
A Bernie supporter who was scared of what republicans where doing to healthcare shot republicans at there ball game years ago but we never held Bernie accountable.
Dozens of republicans have been physically assaulted due to the orders of Maxine waters to “surround them and push back on them and make them feel unwelcome.”
She was never held accountable.
@Lawrence Smith forget trump. His life as he knew it is over. He won’t be returning to politics. He will slowly disintegrate from here on out.
@Crimdor it sounds you’re getting your talking points from fox or newsmax. these are propaganda sites.
Di&Ce – I watch more msnbc and cnn than Fox.
Judging from your subscribed channels, I would say it’s you that needs to do alittle more branching out babe
i think you are describing liberalism
There are lots of Conald J Swamp wannabe in the Republicult party.
There are 50 in the current Senate in the Federal US of A parliament what will they do when the current Feds Treasury, now that will be interesting.
From this day forth:
ANY PERSON FOUND TO HAVE COMMITTED ANY ACT, DEEMED WORTHY OF CANCELATION, SHALL HENCEFORTH, BE SHAMED WITH, THE UNFORTUNATE TITLE OF:
CONALD.
Congress needs to send a strong message by convicting Trump this time. We can’t afford another leader like Trump. The Republican party should pull their heads out of the orifice in which they are currently stuck in.
the gop had a chance to prevent this during the last impeachment, and they passed. they have a chance now to prevent it from occuring again in the future. did they not notice that the crowd was after, and likely prepared to injure and or hang the number two and three top gop members in the country, pence and mcconnell? that no-one is safe from a totalitarian regardless of their feigned loyalty to him? that this is their chance to protect not only our country and democracy, but themselves as well? that if they merely told the truth, that they knew it was a lie, and that some of them propogated it, that would be the best for everyone? nope, they’d rather take down the whole thing on the off chance they will remain standing through the chaos and have control of the rubble. its worse than just politics … it is inhumane and catastrophic.
if the conservative party did this in england they would be in jail,you need to separate supreme court from goverment
Denounce the Big Lie if you want to see some ‘unity’
Exactly
unity? the big lie IS the lie
We Must always past down this in history.What a Dangerous Man We Had,🤨 huh😠
I smoke a lot of weed, and never once did it occur to me that the republican’s or anyone associated with their party were eating babies.
Andy Smitty – anyways, I think she should get kicked out.
I just think people like Eric Swalwell, a Democrat on the senate intelligence committee that is privy to the nations most well guarded secrets, slept with a Chinese agent and let her help with fundraising which gave her information on the biggest doners to the party, is more of a threat than some lady that believes cooky crap that very few people believe in.
@Crimdor thank you… don’t get me wrong I think she’s trash, but I don’t believe those accusations are accurate when it comes to being photographed next to someone you don’t know. Now, if she knew they were kkk, with proof she knew, then I’d be the first to slam her for that or any other politician…. but it’s ridiculous to expect any politician to have a background check before taking a photo with them. That’s like calling you a murder because you stood in line at a grocery store checkout next to a guy that killed someone the night before. How are you to know others skeletons…
@Crimdor I wouldn’t say it’s few people that don’t believe the q crap, not when you have 74 million Twitter accounts retweeting q conspiracies.
Personally I think people get caught up in wanting to believe the evil accusations, they want to believe the other political side is as evil as claimed. Both parties are guilty of that crap.
Andy Smitty – just checking if you could see my reply?
@Crimdor i suspect it would be interesting. I also think it ahould be done before anyone is permitted to run for Congress. You might end up with fewer lunatics running the country.
DC prosecutors need to go after T rump for his part in the MURDER of a police officer.
@Randy Couch . . . If you cannot understand the difference between a riot and an insurrection, you probably shouldn’t be revealing it in public.
Another delusionist.
It’s murda according to Aunt Maxine…..
except there is no evidence that he was hit on the head
@Paul Wilson they’ve suggested he may not have been or not sure the hit caused his death I heard something about a heart attack.
Chuck, call for a secret vote on impeachment….
Well, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are the Donald Trump wannabes.
Don’t forget about Lindsey graham
@wanakone voravong Yeah, Lindsey Graham. Don’t forget about him. Don’t forget about Marco Rubio.
And that Boebert ratbag.
Trump and friends instigated the siege on the Capitol. Hell..a blind man could see that.
I could see it from here!!
hi from Australia!
not what happened
@Paul Wilson …typical remark from a Trump supporter. It’s always best to Lie, Deny and Deflect.
Spot light is not only shining on Trump this week but the other Republicans who also encouraged the Big Lie.
All those who have not spoken up and spoken against it are complicit in the crime.
Wannabes like Hawley? We’re not gonna let him get near the WH, are we kids?
“kids”… thats a good description of leftists
The idea of trump spending the rest of his life in jail sounds good to me. Make it happen.
tDUMP’s goons still think he’s above the law🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Large corporations now rivalling the influence of governments own mainstream.
Are you so naiive to think they are not using their assets to push their own opinions and agendas?
1984 has arrived and you are little more than their manipulated asset.
This isnt a political statement, it is what happens when giant corporates align to serve themselves rather than you.
Trump was in their way.
ya… thats not going to happen
@Lawrence Smith Trump is easily bought. He needs money and will stoop down to any level of shamefulness. He isnt a billionaire, he’s $400 million in debt. Broke a** Loser!
Trump, Eric, Don jr and his girlfriend Kimberly, Eric wife, Guiliani and all political enabler. Should be held accountable. For the insurrection on January 6. Lock all them up. Next with Bill Cosby.
“A lot less clown like” Really, have you not seen how Cruz has been dressing and grooming lately? LoL 😂
Cruz, Lindell, Hawley all have a super creep thing going on
