'Ignore the polls': Former GOP lawmaker claims Trump is in deep trouble
Appearing on MSNBC's "Way Too Early," with host Jonathan Lemire, former Rep. Dave Jolly (R-FL) predicted Donald Trump is headed for a fall if he is on the ballot in November facing President Joe Biden.
Reading the tea leaves from Tuesday's "Super Tuesday," primary results, the former lawmaker pointed to Trump's glaring weakness with non-MAGA voters and independent voters who gave every indication he won't be able to gain their votes.
"Give us your brief assessment simply of what these primaries showed us about Trump's strengths and, more importantly, his weaknesses," host Lemire prompted his guest.

"I think Donald Trump is in a lot of trouble," Jolly bluntly replied.
"I mean, we look at the polls," he elaborated. "You see nationally he's up a few points over Joe Biden, we looked at the electoral map. The truth is, this coalition of soft Republicans and independents who have chosen Democrats over Republicans, they were there in '18, '20, '22. They're still there in '24."
"In '24, we actually have the motivating issues, like Dobbs and reproductive freedom that we didn't have in '16 and '20," he continued. "I think Donald Trump is in trouble. Ignore the polls for a minute. I would much rather be in Joe Biden's position today than Donald Trump's."
