Matt Towery: Over and over again.
-
Laura Ingraham: Right. Right.
No. OK. So, again, established, as you've pointed out, that the midterms are always tough for the party in power. They just always are.
However, people will write off, of course, what happened in Indiana last night by saying, well, it was a primary election. State Senate House doesn't really matter.
What do you say to that claim?
-
Matt Towery: Oh, goodness. I'm saying it again. Donald Trump is a force unequaled in the Republican Party.
And let me just go to this point.
There was about a month or so ago, I think we were talking about a month or so ago, you had a group of Republicans saying, oh, he's diminished.
The war is killing him. It's taking his polling numbers away.
His polling numbers among Republicans are the best they've ever been.
There is that the height he has as much power now.
And by the way, he's an incumbent now - so when he makes these endorsements in these midterms, they're a lot more powerful than in 2022.
So I think Trump is just is exactly what we've said for the last few months.
And that is he's on target.
He's still strongly Republican.
And might I add something about Obama? I polled 2008 for Politico.
I polled 2008 for Politico, OK?
OK, I know why Obama wants to have that old Republican Party.
I know because he crushed it. That's why.
He doesn't want Donald Trump because they know Donald Trump's too tough to deal with.
-
Laura Ingraham: I mean, Obama was out there, Matt, with all those celebrities and in 2016 and 2024.
You know, he did the whole thing, getting Biden off the ticket.
He was doing all sorts of jujitsu and they almost put Trump in jail. They tried to.
Trump comes back and beats them all again. He is so bitter.
OK, that should be the banner.
Bitter Obama. Just that's it. Bitter Obama.
He's jealous of Trump and he's bitter about Trump. That's it. Sour grapes.
-
Matt Towery: He is bitter. He is bitter.
He is bitter. And let me add one other thing about the polling.
I want people to know right now, the polling that you're seeing come in on Trump is incorrect.
The reason it's off is most of these polls do not correlate.
They don't wait to his last election.
Donald Trump has a floor, basically, of about 41, 42 if he has an absolute worst day.
He has a ceiling of about 56 or 57 because the rest of the country is so polarized you can only go that far.
But he's got a loyal 43 to 44 percent on any day of the month.
And when he's doing well, he's got 50 plus.
And the pollsters are wrong.
And I'm right.
I guarantee I'm right about that.
-
Laura Ingraham: I mean, again, I said this before. I will say it again.
He has not even started campaigning yet, right?
I mean, he hasn't even begun. That's going to start.
The war is going to get wrapped up. Sooner the better for that.
But when he starts campaigning, I mean, no one touches him.
I'm sorry. I'm so sick of these articles about "whither Trump," "whither MAGA."
They're all stupid. Don't pay attention to them.
Matt, I got to get to this redistricting, though, because this is important. Alabama, Louisiana.
-
Matt Towery: Yeah.
-
They're debating this mid-decade redistricting following that Supreme Court ruling last week.
Do you think the results in Indiana will play into any of the results there and whether there will be any hesitant Republicans who sit on the sidelines?
