During the panel discussion on Sunday’s Meet the Press, anchor Chuck Todd worried if Democrats will still be able to win states like Arizona and Georgia if former President Donald Trump isn’t around or involved in politics. This is an admission of sorts that leftists in the media like Todd know Trump is an effective distraction for them to use to attack Republicans and not let voters pay any attention to the left’s destructive agenda.
Todd turned to panelist and NBC political analyst Cornell Belcher and expressed his concerns for the future of the Democrat Party if Trump goes away: “the victorious Democratic coalition of the last I’d say '18, '20, '22, so three cycles in a row, Donald Trump’s played a huge part in it.”
“If Donald Trump is not there, how concerned are you about carrying places like an Arizona and a Georgia? Todd asked.
Belching up an answer in response, Belcher replied: “part of the problem is that if Donald Trump isn't there, look. Look at the base of the Republican Party and who is choosing these nominees. Herschel Walker was such a terrible candidate.”
He speculated that since “Republican primary voters picked him” as well as the “terrible Trump candidates,” in Arizona, Belcher believes that “even if Trump doesn't go away, I still like the odds that they're going to continue to pick these Trump-like individuals.”
Continuing to smear the Republican candidates in Arizona, Belcher huffed that “[Blake] Masters and this sort of anti-semitism, racist, you know, replacement theory crap that you get from Donald Trump, you're getting from an awful lot of these Republican candidates.”
This proves once again that even if Trump is no longer involved in Republican politics, the media will still smear Republicans as being tied to Trump. Regardless of how far removed from him they are.

11:25:24 a.m. EasternCHUCK TODD: Cornell, the Democratic---the victorious Democratic coalition of the last I’d say '18, '20, '22, so three cycles in a row, Donald Trump’s played a huge part in it. If Donald Trump is not there, how concerned are you about carrying places like an Arizona and a Georgia?
CORNELL BELCHER: Well, I think part of the problem is that if Donald Trump isn't there, look. Look at the base of the Republican Party and who is choosing these nominees. Herschel Walker was such a terrible candidate. The Republican primary voters picked him. Go out to Arizona where you think you had these terrible Trump candidates. The Republican primary voters chose them. So even if Trump doesn't go away, I still like the odds that they're going to continue to pick these Trump-like individuals.
SARA FAGEN: Showing up and doing events for them and that’s a big part of this.
BELCHER: They're also carrying his water. Look, Masters and this sort of anti-semitism, racist, you know, replacement theory crap that you get from Donald Trump, you're getting from an awful lot of these Republican candidates.
