3:35Now PlayingPolls are showing that Donald Trump cannot beat President Biden, and those polls for Trump are expected to actually keep getting worse. Meanwhile, polls have shown for quite some time that Nikki Haley would beat Biden fairly easily. In spite of this knowledge, Republican voters and most of the Republican establishment have decided that they are sticking with Trump, even though they know that he is going to lose. This is now an active choice for Republican voters to lose the election, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

You know, it really feels to me at least that Republicans are actively trying to lose the 2024 election. And before I go any further, please understand that I'm totally okay with that. Like, I hope y'all lose the 2024 election on, on every level, like states, local, federal, all of it. I just want y'all to get demolished at the polls this year. But here's what I mean. A new poll has come out, actually, multiple new polls have come out. But the one I wanna talk about right now is a new poll that shows that Republicans have a more favorable view of Donald Trump than they do of Nikki Haley, by 45% to 34% more Republicans say that Donald Trump is favorable versus Nikki Haley. They also, by the way, uh, view Trump as more authentic than Haley. 30% say Trump is more authentic. 20% say Nikki Haley's more authentic.
The only category where Nikki Haley beats Donald Trump is in the category of compassion, which Republicans don't give a about. So why does any of that matter? Why, why does that mean Republicans are tanking themselves? Well, for that, we gotta go back to the poll that came out last week because that poll last week shows that the Quinnipiac poll shows that Donald Trump is gonna lose to President Biden. He's losing tremendously among women. He's losing among independents. Biden is beating him nationally by six points. Trump could lose all the swing states by seven points if he gets a single criminal conviction, which is a very high likelihood of happening. But Nikki Haley actually beats Biden. She beats him, she beats him with women. Nikki Haley is the Republican choice. If your goal is to actually win the 2024 election, and, and I don't want to give Republicans advice here on what to do because again, I want you to lose.
But you're sitting here with this one poll saying, we don't like Nikki. Haley can't stand her. She's not authentic, she's compassionate. Sure, but we don't care. We want Trump. And then we look at the other poll, it's like, well, Trump can't win, but Nikki Haley can. So if your goal is to win elections, then y'all should be voting for Nikki Haley, right? I mean, that's the logical thing to do. If it was about winning, it was about, if it was about actually enacting your policies, which you have none, wouldn't Nikki Haley be the smart choice? I mean, polls are showing she's winning. Polls have shown her beating Biden for a long time now. But you all still look at that and you say, Nope, we want Trump. Well, what if we say Trump's gonna lose? Doesn't matter. It's 'cause it's stolen. Y'all are setting yourselves up to be disappointed. It's like, Hey, you have a choice. You
Can either have this, this wonderful hamburger, or here's a turd on a piece of bread. We want the turd. Okay, well the turd by the way, has also been sitting there for like two months and it's got mold on it. Uh, you know, it's like one of those dog turds that's been out in the rain forever. Yeah, yeah. We still want that. Okay. But the burger also has nutrients. We put some lettuce and tomato on it. You know, we, we've got some good things in the burger too. Nope. Give me that, uh, uh, turd on a bun, and that's what they're picking. And by God, let's just let 'em do it.
