Intro

Mark Halperin breaks down why JD Vance is the runaway favorite to be the GOP nominee and president in 2028 right now, why the current slate of potential Democratic 2028 nominees are so weak, the way to build a "Frankenstein" candidate featuring all the Dems' best traits, and more. Then Newt Gingrich, author of "Trump's Triumph," joins to talk about Trump's unique brand of intelligence, his ability to act in the moment but also show patience, the way his "alpha male" energy helps him politically, the decline of the woke movement, what elites don't get about Trump and his appeal, a coming Democratic civil war between the AOC and Schumer wings, and more.
