He's always a headline ahead.

Mark Simone on W.O.R.

Well, we turn to the dean himself.

Ed Rollins, the great political analyst, probably the best.

And, you know, he has run a lot of presidential campaigns, including a couple of the most successful ever in history.

Ed Rollins, how you doing?

Good, thank you. A lot better than some of our friends here in New York. Obviously, former president and the former

mayor and both both were in a lot worse shape than they were to the last time we talked.

Yeah, but still way up in the polls. Now, I don't, let's look at the debate. Let's assume Trump

doesn't go to the debate. And it's

just those other guys. What, what do they have to do to make that debate a success?

Well, they're not going to do it. The reality is no one's going to break out. And Trump would

be foolish if he went to this debate. He has nothing to gain by these way ahead in the polls.

Three or four of them are going to just beat him up if he goes or try to beat him up and remind

people of the 91 felonies and he's facing four jurisdictions. So I was his advisor. I would

certainly get to say thank you very much. I'm going to take my case the American

public's first, general public, second. I'm not going to sit here in debate a bunch of people

who are three or four or five percent in the polls. Yeah, but if you're a, I don't know,

well, hey, let's take Vivek Ramoswamy. This guy's a hell of a speaker. He may be just a flashy

salesman, but he's really good. Could he end up being in second place after this debate? He could be. He's moving in some of these state polls. To the end of the day, he's got a lot of money, his own money. He can spend any money he wants. And he's a new voice. A lot of young people are sort of attracted to him. It's not going to be a viable candidate. I think the guy who is the most at stake, and this is the Sanchez, who has dropped dramatically in the last couple weeks. He doesn't do well, doesn't perform well. That I think that may be the end for him. Yeah. You know, hey, you've been the best political analyst for decades.

You've probably gotten a guy where he should be the candidate, but he's got no personality,

he's not a good campaigner.
