Brit Hume on Donald Trump

Dutch Uncle

Watching Fox News back away from Trump over the past year has been an interesting journey. Brit Hume's comments about Trump have also been interesting. Even though he soft-pedaled his comments in his most recent bit, the message is still clear: Donald Trump will harm the Republican Party. Overall, it appears Hume is calling Trump a bloated idiot.

Brit Hume: Trump Is More Likely To Drive Republicans Into Defeat Than To Drive The Country Toward Dictatorship
Well, they are predicting that he would try to drive the country toward dictatorship. That he would use his second term to seek revenge on everybody who resisted and opposed him over the term of his presidency and beyond. I have to say, it seems to me it's all a little overwrought. We had four years of Donald Trump and he blustered and bragged and threatened and so forth and, yet, he didn't bring us to the brink of dictatorship. And for all the excitement that was created by his activities after the election which he tried everything he could to remain in power. In the end it failed....

...I don't think in a second term Trump would have much luck even if he tried to drive the country toward dictatorship. He's more likely to drive the Republican party into defeat at the hands of Joe Biden than he is to drive the country toward dictatorship.
