The Nevada Republican Party's decision to hold both a caucus and a primary this year has led to widespread confusion and has led to accusations even from some of the state's Republicans about rigging the contest for former President Donald Trump.

As things stand now, former President Donald Trump is the only GOP candidate still in the race to be competing in the caucus, while rival Nikki Haley is the only remaining contender whose name is on the Nevada primary ballots.

As part of a panel discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," one political analyst pointed out that Donald Trump is taking on damage now that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) is making her case that he is growing "senile," while another added there does seem to be evidence "he is losing it."

Reflecting on Haley ramping up her much more personal attacks on the former president, analyst Elise Jordan told co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, "She has been able to make headway with that message. That, no, Donald Trump is not just crazy, he actually is senile too."

"She's been making headway with that message, and she's gotten in some pretty good hits," she added. "Over the past — you know, since New Hampshire happened — what good hits has Donald Trump gotten in on Nikki Haley? He hasn't been able to attack her effectively. He hasn't been able to define her in the way he was with Ron DeSantis."

That led co-host Scarborough to contribute, "He's in a position he's not usually in where he is not striking back as aggressively. He's got two women that have just, let's face it, they pounded him in the pocketbook, pounded him politically. So he's keeping his mouth shut on E. Jean Carroll who just won $83 million from him. Really, for the most part, not going after Nikki Haley as aggressively as he would want to because he's got his campaign people going, 'Please, please, the less you say, like the easier our job is, Donald. Just keep your mouth shut.'"

"I think that it is certainly that," replied MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton. "But I also think that it goes with the fact that he's losing it. Because let's not forget, he ran against a woman in '16 named Hillary Clinton, and he had no problem. He's losing it."

"I mean, you've known him for a long time. So when you say he's losing it, like, you know it," Scarborough interjected.

"He's losing it. His instinct is to fight back, punch back, and he would think, back in those days, that he was thinking clearer, if you want to ever call what he thought was clear," Sharpton continued. "But he'd fight back and say, 'They hit me. I can hit back.'"

"It reminded me, I was blessed in my younger days to know Muhammad Ali. Ali told me one day toward the end of his career, 'I saw the openings, and I just couldn't get the punch there. I couldn't,' he said, 'I knew where to go, Sharpton, but I couldn't get the punch there,'" he continued before adding, "The openings are there for Trump. He can't get there, his mind is not there anymore. They need to take him out of the ring before he gets knocked out."

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" recoiled from a video montage of Donald Trump's gaffes in public remarks.

President Joe Biden's campaign has highlighted the ex-president's gaffes and missteps in campaign ads featuring criticism by Republican challenger Nikki Haley, and co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were amazed.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, while being interviewed on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell on Wednesday, argued that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon could gift special counsel Jack Smith an issue to appeal depending on her actions.

In particular, Weissmann detailed the delicate dance Cannon must do in protecting national secrets.

A spokesperson for Donald Trump insisted that the former president secured the U.S. border during his term in office because he follows the "real Constitution."

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Liz Harrington claimed the U.S. border had been secured during Trump's tenure because the former president "took his oaths very seriously."
