Former President Trump continues to ricochet between the courthouse and the campaign trail. This morning, he was back to face a trial for his statements about former columnist E. Jean Carroll's sexual assault allegations in 2019. Meanwhile, just ahead of the New Hampshire primary he got a boost from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who decided to drop out of the race and back Trump. Conservative lawyer George Conway joins Michel Martin with incisive analysis of Trump's legal woes and how they are shaping his campaign.

    Michele asks good questions and she allows the guest to answer fully without interruption, but still asks good and relevant followup questions. Great interview. And she's looking great!

    It isn't just that people will vote for a convicted felon that gets me, it's what he will be convicted of and people will still vote for him that absolutely floors me.
  • @Polka_dot_door
    Wow I think he hit the nail on the head when he talked about people not wanting to admit they were wrong I think that’s spot on
  • @ronitennant5253
    "People don't want to admit that they've been wrong and have been suckered." Exactly!!!!
  • We need to see him face serious CONSEQUENCES which will send a huge message to his followers. It’s imperative.
  • @vinista256
    George Conway should be awarded an honorary doctorate in Psychology—he hits the nail on the head.
  • Never thought I’d see a time where our representatives in Congress were so afraid of one man that they broke their oath of office to support him over the country. Our Forefathers would be so ashamed of our current GOP.
  • As usual George is right on the money. Unless you’ve had to deal with an out of control narcissist you have no idea how dangerous they are.
  • There are things Trump did that he hasn’t been indicted for like his callous treatment of children at the border, his blundered handling of the pandemic with hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, even his 13 execution of federal prisoners, all these things are reprehensible. There is too much to put in a comment. Trump is a cruel mad man, and he does deserve prison for life.

    Special shout out and thanks to Mitch McConnell, without whom this entire nightmare wouldn’t have been possible.
  • @MJ-sr3rx
    Excellent, George Conway! So clear, concise and brilliant delivery for each question. God be with you always. Thank you for your service. ❤
  • The opening of your video reminded me that, as a taxpayer, I don’t believe I should have to pay to provide Secret Service protection for traitor Trump!
  • @eh3477
    Be still, my heart! Have been waiting years for someone in media or government to say this. Thank you, Mr Conway and Ms Martin.
  • @rjsimpkins2911
    George looks great and sounds happy. His new circle has obviously given him a new life.
  • @mollixiong-np3hl
    I just looked at the definition of sociopath: a person who doesn't know right and or wrong, and does not care about the rights and wrong of others
  • @majestic-1

  • @ericaelliot4367
