ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith appeared on The View on Tuesday, but they may be more careful about which questions they ask him the next time they have him on.
Joy Behar queried Smith about the 2024 election, asking a long, leading question in which she sought to downplay President Trump’s sweeping victory and destroy any notion that he had a mandate from the American people.
However, Smith was having none of it. He took Behar on a point-by-point journey, refuting her assertion, adding some of his own, and proving that the American people indeed handed Trump a mandate.
“He won every swing state,” Smith explained. “He increased in terms of his voter turnout in his favor from the standpoint of Blacks, Latinos and young voters. 89% of the counties shifted to the right. That’s a mandate!”

Keep your eyes on Smith. He’s starting to become a realistic, sensible Democrat...I think he could well win the nomination. Vance would win, but....it might be close.
“Joy is a brainless twit”
Is that the best you can do? :)
Not a lot to work with.
I could do better with swear words
Isn’t that redundant?
And besides, she IS representative of democrats overall.
Stephen A. Smith repeatedly proves he has a mind like a steel trap and a memory like an elephant ... listening to him is something to behold ...
“I could do better with swear words”
ROTFLOL!
When the Cowboys lose, I always go to see his reaction.
Smith talks sensible.
Therefore, he could never when enough democrat primaries to sure the dem nomination.
Substitute “a” for “i”
Stephen A. Smith sometimes takes a point of view which sounds like what a republican would believe. He’s a reasonable democrat, kind of a moderate democrat.
There are plenty of democrats who don’t sound democrat.
Why do they insist on continuing to identify themselves as democrats, and continue voting democrat?
Some members of my family were/are like that, My mother died as a life-long democrat, but when I queried her on the issues, she was definitely a republican and mostly on the conservative side on most issues.
She was born into a democrat family and never thought about switching parties, even as the democrat party did not represent her stance on most of the issues.
I call them “Clinton Democrats”, because they really believed that Bill Clinton (not Hillary) was a Centrist.
“HAHAHAHAHA...Ah tolld ya...ah tolld ya...HAHAHAHAHA...HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS...HAHAHAHAHA...SEE Y’ALL TOMORROW...”
Of course we didn’t see him as a Centrist, but then they didn’t call him “Slick Willy” for nothing.
“Stephen A. Smith sometimes takes a point of view which sounds like what a republican would believe. He’s a reasonable democrat, kind of a moderate democrat.”
It isn’t what they say, it is how they vote. They vote as a block. A true “moderate” like Romney, or maverick like McCain, will vote against party.
In recent years Manchin and Sinema have been the only Dems in the Senate to break ranks from time to time. They could do this because they weren’t running for reelection. Even though they voted with the Republicans on a few votes, when push came to shove, they fell in line on the critical votes. Recently Fetterman has tried to position himself as a moderate but he votes with party.
There is no room in the Democrat party today for a “moderate” politician who will cross the aisle. To see a moderate Democrat, look at the Republicans who don’t mind crossing the aisle on votes. Murkowski, Collins, Tillis, Cassidy to name a few. Lindsay Graham typically votes for the nominees to the federal courts of Democrat presidents.
Joy likes to give everyone the finger.
