WOW! Hannity starts the town hall with a blistering question

Reminder that Hannity for nearly a decade now has been the master of interviewing Trump and rarely managing to make news. That's because he asks him nothing but softballs. archive.thinkprogress.org/how-sean-hanni…

Trump suggests he'll get 150 million votes in 2024

Hannity asks Trump if he has plans to become a dictator. Notably, Trump immediately changes the topic and doesn't answer the question.

Trump: "The only global warming we should be thinking about and worrying about because it could happen tomorrow is nuclear global warming."

Hannity asks Trump for a second time if he has plans to abuse power. Trump admits he plans to do some dictatorial things on "day one" of his second term.

nailed it

Hannity tries to ask Trump about the national debt (which ballooned under Trump's watch). Trump immediately changes the topic to bloviating about "the China virus" and energy.

not exactly a ton of diversity in the Davenport, Iowa, studio audience

Elizabeth Wilkins: "People are looking for different ideas. The bad version is that an undermining of people's faith in democracy leads to authoritarianism. The good version is that we get together to think about what we need in terms of power the ideas and the people to create a new common sense -- one that brings us back for the modern era to that marriage of democracy and capitalism, where democracy shapes markets for the public good."

@PatrioticMills @SnapStream Patriotic Millionaires founder Erica Payne: "Here's what happened. Doesn't matter who's in charge. Tax rates for the rich always go down."

Maria Bartiromo on a weaker than expected February jobs report: "The jobs picture is weakening. Weaker than expected jobs again in the month of February tells you that the Fed is gonna cut rates!"

BARTIROMO: We've got a meeting coming up. Does anyone on this panel think the Fed is gonna cut rates at the next meeting?

STEPHEN MOORE: Well, I don't think they should. I just don't see a case for lower interest rates right now. We still have inflation at the 3-4% range.

BARTIROMO: True

Bartiromo: "It would be Biden's recession."

Wyden: "Mr Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He has made it his life's work to sow doubt and to discourage parents from getting their kids lifesaving vaccines. It has been lucrative for him."

Sen. Roger Wicker: "This nomination is unconventional, just like that New York developer who rode down the escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy for president. That may be what makes Mr. Hegseth an excellent choice."
