"What we never envisioned was that 24-hour news cycle would get even further condensed with the advantage of social media, Twitter specifically." Mike Madrid

Ron #DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential run on Twitter today. In this #MikeDrop episode from Nov. 2022, Mike talked about Twitter and Trump and how the two came to define the cable news cycles.

Mike also outlined how Musk's #Twitter would transform into the Fox News of social media.

In tonight's Mike Drop episode, Mike Madrid referred to the documentary Race 2012: A Conversation About Race and Politics in America. Below is the link to a clip from the documentary in which Mike discussed the false belief that Latinos have an infinity for the Democratic Party. Instead, Latinos have had a fear, concern, and dislike for the Republican Party.

“The main question is, in the bluest state, with the whitest, wealthiest, most progressive voters in America, do they genuinely prioritize racial and ethnic diversity?” Mike Madrid

With no clear front-runner for Dianne #Feinstein's #Senate seat, race, gender, and geography of the electorate and the candidate most likely will determine her successor.

A link to January's #MikeDrop episode on this #California race is in the comments.

"There's one other wild card out there that nobody's talking about. And I'm not suggesting this is the case, but many of you guys have heard me talk about this theory before. There is one person that I think could easily beat both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, and that person is Tucker Carlson." Mike Madrid

In December 2022, Mike explained why he thinks #Carlson would be the #GOP presidential nominee. The discussion starts at 23:46.

Trump, Vance, Walker, and Oz. Will Carlson be next?

"What do all of these people have in common? Celebrity. But more important than celebrity, they have no government experience. That's the virtue. That's the feature. It's not despite the fact that they have no experience. It's because they have no experience. That is a sign of a group of a movement that is countercultural." Mike Madrid

"it's not like Fox News is introducing new information; they are repeating what they are seeing on their own news channels with the understanding that the vast majority of their audience has already been preconditioned to believe this stuff." Mike Madrid

In this week's episode, Mike discussed why #FoxNews must reflect the conspiracy viewpoint of its aging audience and the bind #Murdoch faces as he cast his lot with a flailing Ron #DeSantis.

"There are a lot of people that are looking at the polling and saying, 'What do the indictments mean?'" Mike Madrid

In tonight's episode of Mike Drop, Mike looked at how today's news will impact the 2024 presidential election. Donald #Trump may still be the front-runner in the #GOP primary, but the fundamental trajectory of the race still favors President #Biden.

Fascinating listening to @madrid_mike thoughts/anlysis on Biden's shift to the right and his recent decision to allow drilling in Alaska. I highly recommend #MikeDrop for people who are critical and curious of both political parties moves and nonsense. @mikemadrid is a no *bullshit* kind of analyst.

"Federal prosecutors in New York involved in the criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s social media company last year started examining whether it violated money laundering statutes in connection with the acceptance of $8m with suspected Russian ties, according to sources familiar with the matter."

In tonight's episode of Mike Drop, Mike referred to this article from The Guardian that detailed an $8M loan to prop up Truth Social.

Last night's #MikeDrop discussion of the politics of immigration reform detailed not only the conflict between #Republicans and #Democrats but also those within the two parties.

Julian Castro recently criticized the Biden WH for considering reinstating the policy of family detentions.

Why would Biden do this?

The shift of #Latino voters to the Republican party on this issue (episode link in the comments 38:10).

"Why is the campaign doing this when it seems to not make sense? For the most part, they're very, very intelligent, rational actors in a very chaotic, peculiar, unique environment...trying to affect a certain outcome." #MikeMadrid

Several recent #MikeDrop episodes have examined the 2024 #GOP Presidential primary. In the Feb. 24 episode of #Politicology, Mike joined Ron Steslow to discuss why it's important to watch how the primary takes shape.

"Let Trump do Trump things, and let Trump be Trumpy, and stay out of his way. Stay out of the eye of the cyclone that is coming."

Ron DeSantis may be a stronger candidate than Donald Trump in the general #election, but recent polling shows Trump well-positioned to win the #GOP nomination. Facing what may be a short-lived 2024 campaign, can #DeSantis wait until 2028?

The GOP primary was center-stage this week on #MikeDrop.
