'A disaster': MSNBC panel tears into 'nuttiness' of Trump's wild rant on electricity



An MSNBC panel of pundits couldn't help but laugh on Sunday after former President Donald Trump promised "so much electricity" that Americans would be saying, "Please, President, we don't want any more electricity."

During a Sunday panel discussion on MSNBC, host Alicia Menendez read a quote from a recent Trump rally.

"Let me just read it to you because the nuttiness will come through," she said. "We will be creating so much electricity that you'll be saying, please, please, President, we don't want any more electricity. We can't stand it. You'll be begging me, no more electricity, sir. We have enough. We have enough."

"I mean, the guy is a disaster," she observed.

Stuart Stevens suggested that Trump was struggling because he would have picked a different vice presidential candidate if he had known he would be running against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Stevens explained, "They would have chosen another VP contender had they known that they were going to run against Harris."

Menendez wondered if Republicans would consider replacing Trump if they were a "serious party."

"Yes, but that's a time far away," Stevens said. That party doesn't exist anymore. You know, I mean, look, it's clear Donald Trump is a couple of tall boys short of a six-pack."

"But the underlying problem is he — there is no policy here," he continued. "OK, maybe we'll talk about contrast, but you should be able to talk about what you want to do."

Without an actual campaign platform, Stevens said Project 2025 had filled the vacuum.

Former House GOP Committee Counsel Sophia Nelson agreed.

She said Trump "represents a large swath of Americans who also have those grievances."

"You have this fear of D.E.I., this fear of disappearing, this fear of being replaced," she asserted.

"They want to go back to the 1950s. And Vice President Harris, as she says, we're not going back," Nelson added. "She's framed it about freedom. And Project 2025 is all about taking away our freedoms, all of us."

"There's a lot of stuff in there that you should read about because it's about taking away freedom."
