This historian predicted Trump's win in 2016 – here's what he thinks about his chances in 2024

THE JANUARY 6th ATTACK ON THE U.S. CAPITOL. ALAN, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. HERE WE ARE. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU, MY FRIEND. >> Marcia: HERE WE ARE, TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP ONCE AGAIN. WE ARE EXPECTING HIM TO MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT TONIGHT BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HIS INNER CIRCLE URGING HIM TO HOLD OFF BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS DIDN'T SEE THE RESULTS THEY WANTED IN THE MIDTERMS. DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD WAIT? DO YOU THINK HE WILL WAIT. >> TRUMP IS NOT KNOWN FOR HIS PATIENCE. I DOUBT IF HE IS GOING TO WAIT. BUT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WILL COME WITH A WHIMPER AND NOT WITH A BANG, BECAUSE OF THE UTTER FAILURE OF TRUMP ENDORSED ELECTION LYRES AND EXTREMISTS IN THE ELECTION. THE ELECTION DENIER, PREFER TO CALL THEM ELECTION LYRE, QUITE FRANKLY LOST ACROSS THE BOARDS, A CLEAN SWEEP, PLUS, YOU HAD THE TRIUMPH OF RON DESANTOS WINNING IN FLORIDA. EARLY SHOWS SHOW HE IS CREEPING UP ON DONALD TRUMP AMONG REPUBLICAN VOTERS. SO I THINK WHAT IS REALLY ON TRUMP'S MINDS IS HE THINKS, WELL, IF I ANNOUNCE FOR PRESIDENT, I WON'T BE INDICTED FOR THE MANY, MANY SERIOUS CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS HANGING OVER MY HEAD. BUT THAT IS FALSE. JUST DECLARING YOURSELF A CANDIDATE DOES NOT IMMUNE IMMUNIZE YOU. >>> DO YOU THINK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS MOVING ON FROM DONALD TRUMP? >> WELL, IT'S EASY TO POINT THE FINGER AT DONALD TRUMP FOR THE FAILURES OF THE REPUBLICANS IN THE ELECTION. THEY SHOULD HAVE SWEPT EVERYTHING WITH A SOUR ECONOMY AND UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT AND THEY DIDN'T. BUT THE PROBLEM RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM IN THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AFTER ALL, IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS, NOT DONALD TRUMP, WHO NOMINATED ALL OF THOSE LOSING CANDIDATES. HERE IS THE PROBLEM FOR REPUBLICANS: THEY HAVE NOW ABBAEN DONNED VISUALLY -- ABANDONED EVERYTHING THEY ONCE PROTESTED TO STAND FOR. PERSONAL MORALITY, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, A JOKE FOR A PARTY THAT ARE EMBRACE DONALD TRUMP AND HERSHEL WALKER. A PARTY THAT WANTS A NATIONWIDE BAN ON ABORTION. IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST DRACONIAN IMPOSITION OF BIG GOVERNMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY, RESPECT FOR TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS, COME ON. THIS IS A PARTY WHERE A SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF IT WANTED TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF VARIOUS WAYS OF A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, REPUBLICAN PARTY STANDS FOR BIG TAX CUTS. THAT BALLOONS THE DEFICIT. SO WHAT DOES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE LEFT? IT IS A BIG RECKONING THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE AND DON'T EXPECT RON DA SANTOS TO SAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. HE DOESN'T STAND FOR MUCH THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM DONALD TRUMP OR WHAT IS THE NEW MAINSTREAM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND SUCCESS IN STATE ELECTIONS DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO SUCCESS UNDER THE HEAT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. JUST ASK JEB BUSH FROM 2016. >> Marcia: WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WE HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE. I'M SURELY BE TALKING TO YOU IN THE FUTURE.
