WITT Joining me once ░░░░░░░░ Peter Baker chief White ░░░░░░░░ correspondent for The New ░░░░░░░░ Times MSNBC political analyst ░░░░░░░░ also coauthor of The ░░░░░░░░ Okay let s put ░░░░░░░░ all together my friend ░░░░░░░░ the mugshot and four ░░░░░░░░ indictments you would think ░░░░░░░░ Biden would have significant ░░░░░░░░ but apparently not We ░░░░░░░░ learned to take polling ░░░░░░░░ a grain of salt ░░░░░░░░ but what does this ░░░░░░░░ you about the appeal ░░░░░░░░ these candidates BAKER Well ░░░░░░░░ think it tells you ░░░░░░░░ the old rules of ░░░░░░░░ no longer apply Of ░░░░░░░░ the old rules of ░░░░░░░░ are a presidential candidate ░░░░░░░░ s in a legal ░░░░░░░░ much less indicted four ░░░░░░░░ twice involving an effort ░░░░░░░░ overturn a democratic election ░░░░░░░░ of course have no ░░░░░░░░ viability as a candidate ░░░░░░░░ we are in a ░░░░░░░░ era and this is ░░░░░░░░ different kind of candidate ░░░░░░░░ indictments rather than diminishing ░░░░░░░░ support among his base ░░░░░░░░ actually seemed to embolden ░░░░░░░░ base His base according ░░░░░░░░ this poll and others ░░░░░░░░ that these indictments are ░░░░░░░░ and simply part of ░░░░░░░░ partisan persecution against him ░░░░░░░░ is of course what ░░░░░░░░ Trump has been telling ░░░░░░░░ it is all along ░░░░░░░░ they believe him and ░░░░░░░░ agree with him So ░░░░░░░░ is an alarm bell ░░░░░░░░ Republicans who don t ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump to be ░░░░░░░░ nominee and it s ░░░░░░░░ alarm bell for Democrats ░░░░░░░░ think that because of ░░░░░░░░ indictments he s going ░░░░░░░░ automatically lose a general ░░░░░░░░ This poll suggests no ░░░░░░░░ is a very competitive ░░░░░░░░ 46 to 46 As ░░░░░░░░ say we can t ░░░░░░░░ certain about polls certainly ░░░░░░░░ far out but it ░░░░░░░░ that this is not ░░░░░░░░ any way a gimme ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats despite former ░░░░░░░░ Trump’s legal troubles.”
