What Washington insiders really think about 2024 and the tackiness of Mar-a-Lago
Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri has covered Donald Trump and Washington politics for years. I sat down with her for a fabulous conversation, during which she explains that the messaging we get from the White House and the campaign trail isn’t really what heavyweight politicos are secretly chatting about behind the scenes. She shares how conversations with the political VIPs really go down at chic D.C. restaurants like Cafe Milano. Plus, we talk about why Trump is more electable than people give him credit for, why Democrats are worried about the Biden campaign, and what it’s like to be at a Mar-a-Lago party…“What is this tacky place?!”

A worrisome interview. If both sides are ( this is the last of the Reagan Republicans) scared to death that Trump will win, then why is it not said out loud, the fear of him winning. Why do the democrats act like deer in the headlights? The main issues are simple: immigration , crime and inflation. What are you going to do about it?
Force Trump to state his solutions and not allow him to avoid answering.
The Lincoln project, Obama, and Hollywood stars need to not only prop up old Joe but tear down Trump. As the interviewee said, use clips of Trumps stupidity, the lies and his gaffes. Bring a tank to this gun fight!
It says a lot about our country when saving democracy is not a big issue to voters.
My thought is the President should take the former Ferdinand Magellan aka US Number One out of mothballs and tour as many states as possible. It worked for both President Roosevelt and President Truman and would likely do wonders for President Biden. The publicity and exposure would be unequaled. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
