Chuck Todd: Will, should, and can GOP challengers meet the post-Trump-indictment moment?



The special counsel’s indictment of Donald Trump could be the best opening so far for the rest of the Republican presidential candidates to seriously challenge the former president. But three questions face the field when it comes to taking on Trump in this post-indictment moment: Will they? Should they? And can they?

  1. I love how you white liberal saviors think I can’t make up my mind for myself and need you.

  2. Wow. He's so sick of hearing Republicans refer to Mayorkas' and biden's border "crisis" … then goes on to prove how biden "controls" the border. He said Biden proposed bunches of (nebulous) "acts" [listing names they call each action] and/or throws tons of money at the border '… But Republicans never mentions those and just complain.'.

    I'm pretty sure the Republicans just want the border closed. Biden can rule on thousands of "acts" but they will probably just be words on paper — like the act of finding the root cause of people immigrants want to cross the border, and assigned the job to VP Kamala Harris. She didn't need to actually go to the border or interview migrants, she just needed to put a thought in her head, create a document explaining her "findings" and propose a solution.

    Kamala HARRIS' theory was people are fleeing harsh countries where they are controlled by tryanical governments so they come to America to pursue the American Dream.

    Her proposed resolution is send the Middle and South American countries billions of billions of dollars so their governments can invest in their population

  3. Should they? Absolutely.
    Can they: maybe
    Will they? No

  4. Can’t vote, can’t run.

  5. Chuck Todd is a real EMBARRASSMENT

  6. Yea they were in the bathroom for a reason. It's where the toilets are. Flushing the pee pictures.

  7. They said the same thing in 2016 lol 😂

  8. I’m voting for Trump so he can be the first president to pardon himself

  9. post-CHUMP-DERANGRMENT moment

    CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇲🇺🇲

    AMERICA IS HOLDING TERRORISTS ACCOUNTABLE AGAIN

    DERANGED LUNATIC 🤡

  10. DeSantis sank like a stone as soon as we realized the media/RINOs support him. It's Trump or bust. Get in or prepare to be primaried. #MAGA is going nowhere.

  11. Look you guys we americans are giving billions of dollars to world governments but we neglect to take care of America. America need to repair the opression of its own people the american black communities who your white guys have did monumental demage to. Until you white americans address this systemic racism within the country and until you do our country will continue to have many problems. We lose white people.

  12. So the docs were in a bathroom with no security cameras.

    Sounds like a bad idea. Wait, I can see trump installing webcams in toilets.

  13. Pence, lying puts you right back to ground 0. Everyone of these statements by these really stupid GOP politicians opened up avenues of thought that the main stream hadn't considered. Now even the loyal MAGAs will be asking themselves, "So the documents were there — COULD he have done something nefarious with them?"

  14. Pence and Haley are duplicitous…no spine.

  15. I only have two words in regards to all criminal cases against Trump: "Pre-trial detention".

  16. Stop having kids! It’s immoral to subject your children to unnecessary pain without their consent! No one can consent to being born, meaning that procreation is a violation of one’s autonomy & cannot be ethically justified. Since the state of absolute peace & the freedom from all harm is only possible through non-existence, everyone has the right to NOT be born until consent is explicitly obtained after understanding & agreeing to the “terms & conditions” of life

  17. "No on under criminal investigation should be allowed to run for any public office". Said djt during the presidential debates!

  18. Trump truly makes America great by getting Indicted…..Twice. 😂

  19. Congress should pass the law that a criminally Indicted person cannot runs for presidency.

  20. Nixon : a president who became Crook.
    Trump : a Crook who became president.
    Republicans : Co-Conspirators of a Crook.

  21. 3:49 Marco Rubio is such a scum bag. If he were German after WW2 he'd be saying "yeah but Hitler didn't run the camps"

  22. Ron (lil Mussolini) DeSantis is a horrible not even a human being! Will not win either so they're stuck between a Trump and a hard place lol!

  23. Pence and Haley will not win!
