Chris Wallace Straight-Up Asks RNC Chair Is She Cool With ‘Nominating A Convicted Felon’ In Trump
Story by Tommy Christopher •

CNN anchor Chris Wallace bluntly asked RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel if she’s comfortable with “the Republican Party nominating a convicted felon?”

On this week’s episodes of Wallace’s Max/CNN series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, Wallace interviewed McDaniel, as well as Hollywood superstar Goldie Hawn.

In one of many memorable exchanges, Wallace asked McDaniel if she has a problem with the GOP “nominating somebody who’s under federal indictment” (she expressed openness to that) and then asked the natural follow-up for a race in which ex-President Donald Trump is the frontrunner — “Do you have any problem with the Republican Party nominating a convicted felon?”:

    CHRIS WALLACE: Let me ask you a question. Do you have any problem with the Republican Party nominating somebody who’s under federal indictment?

    RONNA MCDANIEL: I think the presumption of innocence stands. And I think there’s a lot of Republicans who are very troubled.

    At the end of the day, Chris, though, it’s not up to me. It’s up to the voters. They’re going to make their decision. They’re going to hear this and they’re going to decide if this is an issue for them come November or come the primary process.

    I’m not seeing this in the polling right now creating an issue.

    CHRIS WALLACE: Do you have any problem with the Republican Party nominating a convicted felon?

    RONNA MCDANIEL: That’s hypothetical. We’re not even close to that. So I don’t think we’re even there…

    CHRIS WALLACE: Well, I understand that.

    RONNA MCDANIEL: I get the, I understand this trap of, well, what if this happens? I think a lot of people are very concerned. Republicans especially, I hear this every day. Why is there one side of justice for Hillary Clinton, a different one from Donald Trump, different for Hunter Biden?

[LMAO]

Doesn’t he have to be convicted first before being declared a convicted felon

Doesn’t he have to be convicted first before being declared a convicted felon 

It's a valid question to ask before the choice has to be made.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

How much weight does the Justice System have anymore? They can put you in prison for so little these days...

[massadvj]

If being indicted helps Trump, which it has, then being convicted would probably help him even more, particularly if he is convicted by a heavily partisan jury.

[Kamaji]

If being indicted helps Trump, which it has, then being convicted would probably help him even more, particularly if he is convicted by a heavily partisan jury.

It will certainly help him in the primary, but not in the general election, which is what the dems/libs/progs are counting on.

[libertybele]

I see that question as way out of line.  Trump is not a felon.  He has NOT been convicted and found guilty!

[LMAO]

Yup

[Kamaji]

I see that question as way out of line.  Trump is not a felon.  He has NOT been convicted and found guilty!

And what if he is?  It's a legitimate question to ask the chair of the political party that is likely to nominate Trump.

[LMAO]

And what if he is?  It's a legitimate question to ask the chair of the political party that is likely to nominate Trump.

A better way to ask the question would have been to ask if she would be cool nominating Trump if he is convicted.

[massadvj]

Yes. Agree.

[Kamaji]

Tomato, Tomahto.

[Bigun]

Sock puppet (Chris Wallace) says what?

Who gives a $%*t?

[cato potatoe]

What if he’s obviously guilty of obstruction, among other things, but a MAGA juror in FL refuses to hold him accountable.  The general public might give the side eye to the whole party.

I seriously doubt either trial will happen before November, 2024. Trump's legal team can easily run out the clock, even if he loses every motion to delay, in every venue. The constitutional questions justify a SCOTUS review, and that simply cannot happen in time.

Everyone knows this, and everyone knew it before there were any indictments. So this is almost purely political theater.

OK.
So we should ask the Democrats if they don't care about nominating a corrupt traitor in the pocket of China, with a criminal crackhead son. It's a legitimate question to ask the chair of the political party that is likely to nominate China-Joe.

[LMAO]

Your question was answered in 2020. They don’t care

Go right ahead.

Almost without fail, if he is nominated, the trial will progress in the summer before the election with the predictable verdict in the late fall...

BECAUSE it is political theater.

It's very unlikely that decisions on motions or other interlocutory orders would get immediate appellate court review, let alone Supreme Court review.  The appellate courts, including the Supreme Court, will generally expect objections to interlocutory orders to be preserved for review, and will wait for a final decision on the merits.

I'm not saying it's not impossible; I am saying it's very unlikely.

Seems as though Judge Cannon will have an emptier calendar over the next 4-6 weeks, since a couple of Medicare fraud cases were pled out and the other delayed until September.  Will it speed things along?  Maybe not, but it can’t hurt. 

Donald lost his attempt to throw out the Georgia case.  He’s a pro at losing in Georgia.  Fani Willis about to drop the hammer.  Tick tock tick tock. 
 

[sneakypete]

Wait!

Trump is a convicted felon?

When did this happen?
