2 minThey discuss whether Trump survives the investigations and wins reelection, debate potential Democratic challengers like Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, and whether Michelle Obama's appeal would survive actually entering politics.
- 50:53Tim predicts Trump finishes his term and runs again, says Democrats need to find their own Trump who can communicate effectively.
- 51:12Possible Democratic candidates: Cory Booker isn't it, Kamala Harris is interesting, Michelle Obama could run but loses her appeal once she enters the political sphere.
