Dan Bongino: Trump Wrapped Up 2024 GOP Nod After Town Hall
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 11 May 2023 | Michael Katz |

Posted on 05/11/2023 5:10:41 PM PDT by conservative98

Conservative talk show host Dan Bongino said former President Donald Trump's performance during a CNN town hall was so good Wednesday night that he effectively wrapped up the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

"I'm going to say after last night, I don't know what you guys think, the primary is over," Bongino said during his opening monologue Thursday of "The Dan Bongino Show" podcast.

"It's over man. ... Trump was in rare form last night and just lit CNN on fire to the point where CNN was questioning CNN at the end of the night."

Bongino said the town hall was "an absolute disaster" for liberals.

"Last night, CNN thought it was going to be the kill shot for Donald Trump," he said. "It turned out to be the kill shot for CNN. Absolutely body-bagged the CNN audience last night. Absolutely hapless [town hall host] Kaitlan Collins. Just hapless.

"CNN, of course, wanted to have Trump on because of the ratings. They thought they could 'control' Donald Trump. I think we've learned for the last seven years now that no one is going to control Donald Trump. "

Bongino said he has no hard feelings toward others who have declared as candidates for the 2024 GOP nod, but he said he does not see a chance for them in the race after last night.

“I say this with a lot of love. I think I’ve been very fair to all candidates in the race,” he said. “I genuinely like, as people, a lot of people in there. I don’t have a relationship with Nikki Haley at all, but I love the Vik [Vivek Ramaswamy], I’m an investor in one of his funds. I love the Vik.

“I think Tim Scott is a good guy. I don’t know how conservative he is, but I think his story is amazing. And I’m in Florida, and I can tell you right now we’ve never had a better governor [in Ron DeSantis]. You’re never going to get me to say otherwise. I don’t care who says what.

“But I’m a Trump guy. I’ve always been a Trump guy. I don’t think that’s a mystery. I think after last night, it’s over.”

It was beautiful.

Trump slammed the hood down on the nasty moderators head.

The Trumpsters are all excited. Independents aren’t sold.

Still arguing the election is a losing proposition.

You bet. But it was actually over long before last night.☺

And Biden wrapped up enough fake ballots to win again in 2024. Our voting system for nationwide office is a joke. Banana republics have better systems than us.

How do you know Independents aren’t sold after last night’s Town Hall?

He doesn't, but it's an obligatory reply from a Trump-Hating DeSantis supporter.

This is the wrong time to say that, if ever there is a right time. After yesterday evening, the independents’ stock just went WAY down.

Eric Bolling just said on his Newsmax broadcast that CNN cut the Townhall broadcast by 20 minutes—probably because Trump was knocking out of the park everything Kaitlan Collins threw at him.

Still arguing the stolen, rigged, manipulated and outright bought 2020 election is a needful proposition.

I thank GOD for raising up President Trump, a man with the courage and stamina to do what is needful to restore America to her rightful place.

Can you elaborate on that? A lot of us feel at the election system is no different from the Soviet election system. We would love to not believe that.

If you’re already surrendering and siding that the Dems have this all wrapped up, just do like Jim Robinson said in 2016, delete your cookies and delete your account and log off because we don’t need to hear it.

Why not? One would think that independents would admire a candidate who is articulate, knows the problems that America faces, has practical plans as to how to deal with them, and has the will to carry them out.

It's pretty much over. From now on we won't have elections, we will have selections.

Grew up in the Chicago suburbs and by the the time I was in the 3rd grade I knew dead people could vote!

It's on steroids now.

Forget it. The era of nominating Bush McRomBot is over.
