MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill said on Monday’s “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump’s “calcified epicenter” of support is 16% of the nation.
“Rudy Giuliani, 22 years ago, his approval rating in the United States was about 72%. In a poll taken a few days ago, he had an approval rating of 16%,” McCaskill said.
Anchor Nicole Wallace said, “So who are they?”
Mr MacAskill said: “I’ll tell you who they are. They are the calcified epicenter of Trumpism.”
She went on to say, “In this solemn reflection on what our country went through and how we came together after that moment, America has for the first time a leader without greed. I would like to denounce clearly and simply as a fact “to unite the country.” In other words, George Bush wanted to unify the country. Sometimes he wanted to do it in a way that I didn’t agree with. Bill Clinton wanted to unite the country. George Bush’s father wanted to unify the country. John McCain wanted to unite the country. Joe Biden wants unity. There is only one outlier here. ”
She further added, “Donald Trump wanted to drive a wedge of discontent between America’s most prestigious institutions and the American people. That discontent is his political coin in this area. All Americans It’s not people, but it’s making people angry and cynical.”
“I think that’s exactly what most Americans think about Rudy Giuliani. They want us to go back to a time when it wasn’t all about tribal politics,” McCaskill said. That we can come together is the strongest argument for Joe Biden’s re-election, and I think it’s more powerful than any policy. That’s the ideal of this country, that extremism is It cannot be widespread. There are many challenges in that regard, but it cannot be overcome. There are people who are completely in favor of Donald Trump, but the vast majority of this great country it’s not.”
