MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told Seth Meyers on Wednesday that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been a “gift from God.”
“I love the idea that this is a stunt and I love the idea that he’s just a celebrity and that this isn’t actually a political campaign,” Maddow said in an appearance on “Late Night.” “But it turns out Republican voters want Donald Trump more than they want any of the other 40 people running. That is a gift from God in terms of having this be my job.”
Maddow also found humor in the fact that candidates like Ohio Governor John Kasich will not be included in the first debate between Republican candidates because Trump has a commanding lead in the polls and only the top 10 candidates will be allowed at the debate.
“[Kasich] is the governor of Ohio. The first debate is in Ohio. And they’re going to make him watch it from home, which happens to be the governor’s mansion,” Maddow said.
She also pointed out that other Republican candidates are struggling just to keep up with the former “Celebrity Apprentice” host. “All of the other candidates too can only get press and only get attention when they’re talking about Donald Trump, responding to Donald Trump, or picking a fight with Donald Trump,” she said.
