Tucker spent the entire hour addressing the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. The program sought to assess the long list of Democrats engaged in struggle for survival in the competitive race.
Tucker's guest Lisa Boothe has studied the candidates carefully, yet was unable to identify a clear front-runner. She narrowed down the field to Sanders, Biden, Warren, and Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana. For Boothe, it will only be after the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries that the large field will start to narrow.
Tucker's next guest was the urbane Peter Kirsanow, who acknowledged the unprecedented rise in African-Americans' support for Trump. The current approval rating of 34% is the highest for a Republican president since the thirty-third president, Dwight David Eisenhower in the late 1950s.
For Kirsanow, the current populist distrust of Democrats by African-Americans is similar to the blue collar gravitation towards Trump in 2016. Another key issue for African-Americans is that of immigration that has brought them closer to Trump than the "woke" Democrats. If the trend of African-American enthusiasm for Trump continues, then it is "game over" for 2020.
At the close of the program, guest Mark Steyn stole the show with an Academy Awards-style "In Memoriam" segment to those 2020 Democratic candidates that we lost in the year 2019. The most outrageous segment was Steyn's imitation of the former candidate Bill De Blasio's chipmunk voice after he taped a botched audio recording for the Iowa caucus. Beto O'Rourke was honored by recalling his apology for being born as a white baby. And let us not forget the stirring lecture of the late candidate Kristen Gillibrand to a housewife in Ohio about "white privilege." In the caustic wit of Mark Steyn, Youngstown for Gillibrand was her version of Martha's Vinyard or Malibu and the struggling housewife was for Miss Gillibrand one of the Barbara Steisands of northeast Ohio! RIP, Democratic losers!!!
