MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes declared that “public opinion still matters” on Wednesday as he pointed to challenges that Donald Trump and Republicans could still face despite the president-elect’s election win.
“The most important thing, to those of us who are committed to stopping them, is to remember their success is not foreordained in any way,” Hayes said. “They’re going to try and there are going to be a lot of people who try to stop them. And the outcome of that is as yet undetermined.”
Hayes, who noted that Trump’s win showed voters’ “rejection of the status quo,” said Trump and Republicans are interested in interpreting the win as a “mandate for all of their worst governing impulses, all the Stephen Miller-style Project 2025 dark fantasies of smashing the administrative state.”
“But those ideas were never popular,” said Hayes, who added that Trump tried to “distancehimself every chance he had” from the conservative policy blueprint.
The MSNBC anchor later turned to Trump’s first term where the president-elect tried to “do lots of bad things and failed to do them.”
“Because he is completely distractible and in constant because he’s a vortex of chaos because he can not be stopped from doing stupid, self-destructive things all the time,” Hayes said.
“None of that changed because he won the election. They’re all the same people, he’s the same guy. Are Republicans better prepared this time? Are they more loyal? Is the judiciary more in their favor? Yes, yes and yes. But does that mean the outcome is foreordained? No.”

Also, Trump is now the leader of the Republican party and congress, as opposed to the back stabbers that worked against him last time.
No pretense of being an independent journalist, eh? So how does he get to hide behind the shield of being a member of the press?
The vermin is correct about public opinion, and that means Team Trump needs to be as on-point and on-message during the next four years as they have been for the past four months. Letting ‘The Media’ be the sole driver of public thought is never a good thing; with X, Truth Social and a focused team, Trump can avoid that trap this time.
Just when you thought public opinion of the media couldn’t get any lower...
“”turned to Trump’s first term where the president-elect tried to “do lots of bad things and failed to do them.””
“Because he is completely distractible and in constant because he’s a vortex of chaos””
I thought everything he did according to THEM was bad...Was this guy reading from a dictionary or what? No sense to it at all.
Nope.
Also, stopping “them” from doing what? Making America great?
“No pretense of being an independent journalist, eh? So how does he get to hide behind the shield of being a member of the press?”
Not the journalist’s words. Hayes’ words. Hayes is not a journalist.
Oh the outrage back when Rush said he didn’t want Obama’s policies to succeed.
Whoa, wait a minute Chris... wasn’t the election an indication of “public opinion”? News flash, low-T soyboy — it’s apparent that you and your posse are NOT aligned with the prevailing public opinion! So where forcing your crazy, minority opinion onto the majority is concerned — FA and FO, pal.
Chris Hayes still has a show? I thought that they would have dumped his tired, stale ass by now.
Duh. Problem them was they had such contempt for the public, thought they were a bunch of rubes and decided to dictate to the public what they should think. Turns out the public is smarter than they thought. Didn’t work out so well, did it?
“public opinion still matters”
Which is a really good reason he should shut his mouth because an electoral landslide IS the overwhelming PUBLIC OPINION. Legacy media have destroyed this nation with their “OPINION”; leaving their mess for others to clean up.
Kwissy got one thing right, public opinion matters.
That is why a 70 per cent wrong track number put the election out of reach of being stolen.
That and Voter ID.
Read somewhere Comrade Kammy didn’t win one state that had voter ID.
Voter ID matters.
If the Republican Party is serious, and I feel Lara Trump is a hundred times more serious than that Romney witch ever was, Voter ID will be a priority for the party during the next four years.

A Network News Anchor is committed to stopping Trump? So, why is this guy still an anchor?
I think the word is ‘preordained’, leftist ‘journalist’

Hayes is the same kind of “news anchor” as Hannity, Carlson, or Morning Joe. They’re all just “commentators.”
He will be one of many fired at MSNBC when Comcast spins off NBC News and MSNBC.
Chris needs a wedgie.
When they are in charge it is a democracy and they can run all over our rights.
When they are not in charge it is a republic and we have to respect their minority rights.
