Trump's rambling CPAC speech leaves CNN analyst stunned: 'This is someone who is not well'

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

In particular, Avlon warned viewers against writing Trump off even though his power over the Republican Party appears to have diminished in recent months.

"It is easy to treat Trump as a side show because if you look at his, you know, posts on Truth Social, if you look at that rambling, 145-minute lie-filled speech, you'd say this is someone that is not well," he said. "Yet, we need to concede he's the front-runner for the Republican nomination and the more crowded the primary is, the more likely he is to win."

Avlon also said it would be a mistake to focus too much on Trump's verbal provocations given the other dangers he poses to the health of the American republic.

"He is somebody who is under multiple investigations right now, somebody who tried to overturn out democracy," Avlon noted. "But that is not a disqualifier in today's Republican Party. So I think we need to be wide-eyed about that right now."

1. I could have told them that 40 years ago.

[Lovie777]

2. How many times is corporate media gonna be stunned, surprised .......

"not to well" crapola that they spew every other month.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

5. Yes, exactly. Apparently the journalists missed the last 6 years of fascism..so surprising!!

He media is part of the problem…rather than feign surprise at the crazy, now about pointing out the parallels to fascist history?

How can anyone be surprised, this fascism is not new or surprising, has existed for a human lifetime!??

[Ray Bruns]

15. Exactly. Someone needs to ask these assholes why the are surprised.

Where have they been, under a rock.

[PJMcK]

26. This is why I abandoned the MSM long ago

Trump hasn’t changed in over 40 years. Everything he’s done since the infamous elevator ride is behavior he exhibited in the previous decades. A two-minute Google search would have informed this CNN non-journalist all they needed to know about Trump.

He’s surprised?! He’s simply displaying his ignorance.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Fascism is not a disqualifier? Anyone remember what America fought once?

The mass media seems to have had a mass case of amnesia. No wonder fascists hate history…people might get massively woke to the threat.

[getagrip_already]

20. They apparently only dislike fascists who are actively trying to kill them....

They are fine with fascism in general. They are giddy if they hold the reigns of power and get to be fascist.

[wryter2000]

25. It's not a disqualifier for the Republican Party

What he said was absolutely true.

[Beachnutt]

4. They should play this recording daily

to the American public, it was known way before he was ever elected that he was a dispicable piece of garbage.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

8. Media does not want to remind the voters...they want to be surprised so they can wax

eloquently on the monsters, as if the writer found out something new!

Nothing new under the Sun, certainly not fascism in America.

45th President…sickening..did that actually happen?.

[Beachnutt]

9. Yes it was recorded

[Alexander Of Assyria]

14. Then I find no reason why this tape is not played daily...by anti fascist politicians as well!??

[PatSeg]

32. It was played constantly in 2016

and he still got elected. Says more about a large percentage of the American people than it does about Donald Trump.

[Cosmocat]

33. Y E P

nm

[homegirl]

46. IN 2016 it certainly

appealed to the red neck semi literate males. Their best wet dreams action authorized by SUPER STAR DONALD TRUMP. Golden escalator, whorish wife and paid claque of alleged admirers as the backdrop.

The rest of us knew better!

[PatSeg]

48. Sadly, I think you're right

I've known the kind of men that such "guy talk" would appeal to.

[Marcuse]

43. djt's excuse to this day is that he was lying then (just locker room talk).

[Ilsa]

11. Might have been during a Howard Stern interview?

I'm not sure.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. No. The infamous bus ride with the only boys being boys boys. Now forgotten by the surprised media.

[secondwind]

23. Oh, for crying out loud....

The media know more about Trump than you do. Let’s give Garland some credit for indicting HUNDREDS so far, before he pounces on the leader of the pack. He knows what he is doing!

[Alexander Of Assyria]

30. Replied to wrong post??

[AZ8theist]

45. I find it hard to believe....

...that someone on this site is unaware of the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape. SMH.

[gordianot]

6. As long as he draws and expelled air he is a living threat.

When he is gone and rotting in the ground he will still be the great villain of the 21st century. Germany was lucky to be shed of their Fascist. Trump will be replaced.0

[tanyev]

7. He's the front-runner because the Republican party is not well.

[getagrip_already]

21. Neither is corporate media..... n/t

[llmart]

10. Tell us something we don't know, CNN.

And yet they will all cover every word out of his ugly, orange anus mouth ad nauseum.

He's their bread and butter.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

13. Stenographers for Fascism! Stenographers vote too!

[llmart]

17. +1

I thought I was through with having to hit the remote mute button on my TV or change the channels immediately when his ugly mug came on, but I found myself having to start doing that again this morning as all three of the major stations covered him.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Trump is the puppet of the dark money donors. We need to turn the light on these f*ckers.

[niyad]

18. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

[True Blue American]

19. The only poll they showed

Was taken of CPAC attendees. Means nothing. I think people are getting excited for nothing. That is what media wants you to do.

A raving old man called people in his own party names and planning revenge on every one.

[TNNurse]

22. I will not listen to the speech,

but it doesn't sound like new behavior. He has been this way for years.

[hatrack]

29. There used to be flimsy barriers between his senile rage and us . . . .

No longer.

That's the only difference between 2016 and 2023.

[Paladin]

27. Talk about old news. (nt)

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. McConnell had 2 chances to remove Trump from future Republican electrions.

He could have avoided this mess if he had gotten a dozen R Senators to vote for Trump's impeachment.

[Firestorm49]

31. We knew he wasn't well before the first race, yet the idiot still got elected.

[Justice matters.]

34. "The Silence of the Lambs"

hair furhair must think he's "Hannibal the Cannibal" now, so yeah, 'This is someone who is not well' DUH

[lindysalsagal]

35. The cpappers didn't need to allow the gangster in the door

but happily did. And so McTurtle needs to formalize things and refuse his people to endorse the mobster.

The GQP must take a stand.

[rustysgurl]

36. They don't care about his mental state.

In their minds it's better than "dealing" with Joe Biden and the Dems. They'd vote for a demented squirrel before they'd admit we have a better plan.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

37. TFG is a very sick person

[Ms. Toad]

38. That analysis is spot on.

Despite everything, he is still a grave threat - and as long as we keep treating him as a side show, we risk a second Trump presidency.

[GoodRaisin]

39. He wouldn't be a threat if he didn't have voter support.

The problem is the cowardice of Republican politicians who are too cowardly to speak out against him or take action against him. They’ve shown over and over they won’t say or do anything about him for fear of losing their own voter support. The only answer to Trump is to work on his voter support, the vast element of “stupid” that exists in this country. This element has proven itself to be the dumbest human beings on the planet, so it’s a very stubborn problem to extinguish.

[Justice matters.]

40. "work on his voter support" has been tried and done since Reagan with little to no results...

They are addicted to FAUX NEEUZE and hate radio.

The work that has to be done is to register and help them (to show up to vote) the over 100 million who want Biden's proposed policies and universal healthcare (not his policy but a progressive Congress one) the over 100 million who NEVER showed up to vote (and impose us their don't-care attitude: What celebs do in tabloids and on teevee is all they care about, and that needs to change).

[GoodRaisin]

47. Not by enough members of the GOP. Not by most of them even.

I was responding to the OP, which I took to be about what’s taking place inside the GOP now and about his voters. Republican politicians don’t work hard enough to erode Trump’s voter support. What support he has lost has largely come because of his own actions. The cowards in the Republican party aren’t doing much to cause his popularity to drop. They are just waiting for it to happen, and the straw poll indicates he could end up being nominated again.

No doubt our task is to get out our own vote. There aren’t many Republicans that are going to turn and vote for a Democrat. The country is too divided down ideological lines.

[Cha]

41. Ya think?

[lame54]

42. Trump will pass...

Like a kidney stone causing much pain along the way

[Initech]

44. They're just now figuring this out?

[Skittles]

49. MY EXACT SAME THOUGHT

I mean, serious, WTF, the man has been MUMBLING GIBBERISH for DECADES
