On HBO's “Real Time” broadcast Friday, author Andrew Sullivan said Democrats have been trying for years to find “a way out of the Trump free card” and “some cards.” “It completely contradicts their attempts to brand themselves as champions of principles,” he said. It’s a gimmick that can eliminate him, a deus ex machina.”
Sullivan said, “It's a very strange way of looking at it, that we're fighting for democracy, and then you can't vote who you want to vote for. It's totally contradictory.'' Second, the way to defeat Trump is the way Trump has always been able to defeat: by addressing the issues that win voters, such as immigration, inflation, and a sense of not being able to control social conditions. There is a way to defeat Trump in a global economy where people are suffering, people are losing jobs, and we have no idea what the future holds. They keep filing lawsuits, and the first thing they tried was Trump. Let's find some gimmick, some deus ex machina that could get rid of him that was Russia-related as a way to get the president's free card. Let's try the Russia hoax, this impeachment. Let's try, let's try that, let's sue him for hush money payments to porn stars, and then move on to the New York City fraud charges. People are aware of this, What they're saying is that one side seems to want to prevent us from making the choices we want, and the other doesn't. And that's a terrible way for Democrats to do it.”
He added: “The only way a divided country can solve its problems is to hold an election without restrictions with candidates supported by both parties and actually decide who becomes president.” he added. That's how we do it. That is what democracy is and there is no way around it. There is no lawsuit to remove it. ”
