'Was Kevin McCarthy going to breastfeed him?' The View mocks 'Trump isn't eating' story

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has revealed new stories about Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy in her new book — and the co-hosts of "The View" are loving every word.

According to Cheney, when Trump left the White House and returned to Mar-a-Lago after his 2020 election loss, he was "depressed" and "wasn't eating." McCarthy (R-CA) rushed to the Florida estate, where he took a photo with the former president despite previously saying it was time for the GOP to move on from Trump.

Former President Donald Trump is looking at criminal conviction in at least one of his cases next year, argued former George W. Bush strategist Matthew Dowd on MSNBC Tuesday — and it will likely happen after Trump has secured the nomination, but before he can formally accept it at the Republican National Convention.

'Utter chaos' puts GOP House majority in jeopardy as donors focus on Senate: report

Republican donors are banking on taking back the Senate majority, but are less motivated to invest in the House which they see as currently mired in chaos, according to a report Tuesday.

The House GOP's campaign arm fell behind in fundraising last month, bringing in just over $5 million, while donors are noticing the Senate is up for grabs with just two seats needing to be flipped to retake the majority, and the retirement of Sen. Joe Manchin (R-WV) making one of those a near certainty for a pickup, reported Politico.

Koch brothers' network is making a last-gasp push to bury Trump

The infamous right-wing network of organizations created by the Koch brothers is wading back into politics — and committing tens of millions in a last-gasp effort to deny former President Donald Trump the 2024 nomination, reported The New York Times Tuesday.

Presently, Trump tops all competitors by nearly 50 points in polls. However, the race to consolidate the anti-Trump vote is up for grabs, with Nikki Haley battling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for second place.

'A witless show of arrogance': Trump trashed for appearance at SC/Clemson football game

Donald Trump's appearance at the South Carolina/Clemson football game on Saturday was greeted with a loud chorus of boos and, on Sunday, a brutal review by McClatchy columnist Isaac Bailey who dropped the hammer on the former president and the "cowards" who invited him to take the field.

In a column published on Sunday by South Carolina's "The State," Bailey wrote that the game, which he described as "a quasi-religious holiday in the Palmetto State," now carries the "stench" of a Trump appearance.

As part of his brutal brutal appraisal of the former president, whom he called "a 91-time indicted and credibly-accused sexual abuser," the columnist also blasted South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) who accompanied the former president, writing the governor "should be ashamed. But you’d have to possess a shred of integrity for shame to be even a possibility, so I get why he isn’t."

"The University of South Carolina should be ashamed. But it is apparently run by cowards comfortable bending the knee to an obviously-compromised governor, and an even more compromised presidential candidate who inspired a violent attack at the heart of our democracy just a couple years ago," he wrote before adding, "Whoever signed off on that pathetic Trump parade should be fired, though I suspect given how far we’ve fallen from any sense of decency, they may have already received a raise."

In that vein, he pointed out that Trump showed up at the football game in South Carolina but refuses to share the debate stage with former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) who is also running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

That, Bailey claimed, is evidence the former president is a "coward."

"It’s that they knew everyone with the power to stop their witless show of machismo and arrogance would roll over and let them do whatever the heck they wanted to do," he wrote before concluding, "Haley’s team won the football game, and she won an important political victory against a man who brags about how tough he is but whose decision to fly into Columbia was political weakness. McMaster and others pretended the man they treated like an emperor had new clothes. But those of us with eyes, and a functioning brain, know the truth, that he was exposed as the naked coward’s bully he’s long been."

Conservative praises Chris Christie’s Trump-bashing campaign — but tells him to 'drop out'

Of all the 2024 GOP presidential primary candidates competing with frontrunner Donald Trump, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is by far the most aggressive in his attacks. Most of the criticism of Trump during the primary has been mild or tepid, but Christie has been downright scathing at times.

In a Daily Beast opinion column published Friday, Never Trump conservative Matt Lewis praises Christie for his anti-Trump comments. And he argues that Christie's "brash style" could help him win "contrarian" New Hampshire's GOP primary.
