Brit Hume of FNC discussed the “insane political logic” behind Donald Trump’s performance in the New Hampshire primary.
Despite being treated like an incumbent, Trump’s showing is considered weak, indicating a lack of growth potential.
The fact that independents and others were unwelcome suggests a deliberate exclusion of people from other parties.
“One of the questions that’s on my mind is this issue of the sort of quasi-incumbency. The argument is, that if you treat him like an incumbent, he should be around 80-84%, right? He should have almost all the Republican votes, but he is not. And he is running against people who are giving him a little bit of a run for his money. So, Brit, how do you judge that? How do you figure out whether or not he has enough growth potential to beat Biden?” Martha MacCallum asked.
Hume highlighted weaknesses in Trump’s position, despite potential victories, citing previous losses in 2020 and 2022.
“If you think of him as an incumbent, this showing tonight is weak, right? I mean, he should be doing better. And it’s also a sign of weakness that the independents and others who voted in this primary were unwelcome, not welcomed by the Trump campaign and by a lot of his supporters,” Brit Hume said.
“The idea being, of course, we wouldn’t want to have the kind of a party and candidate that draws in people from the other party,” she said. “So, there’s a certain insane political logic at work here.”
“But there’s weakness there with Trump. There’s no doubt about it even if wins, you know, easily and going away. Look, he lost in 2020. His candidates lost in 2022. I mean, he has a lot of losses on his book.”
