    Mr. Trump said that he had been taken aback when Mr. DeSantis later declined to say whether he might challenge him for the Republican nomination, using an expletive to refer to the Florida governor.

    I want to know what he called him.

      "Crackhead" apparently.

      I fucking hate CSPAN. What a fucking awful website.

      I searched the text for "begged me". The text is from closed captioning and it was all caps so I changed it to all lowercase.

      Donald Trump Delivers Remarks at Turning Point Action Conference | C-SPAN.org

      i got him elected. he was dead. he was losing by a massive margin. it was over. he had no money. he came to see me. he begged me to endorse him. i said if i am abraham lincoln and washington together, we gave you an endorsement, you would not win. he said they love you in florida. if you endorse me, you will win. i would see him on television a little bit. i said let's give it a shot. he went up like a rocketship. he ended up winning the primary. very shortly thereafter. in a landslide. then he went against the guy was a crackhead.

      at the time they thought he was the next great president. a handsome guy. he was going to be president. this was not a good representative. he was a handsome guy. everything was good. they were going to have a great future.

          I am mystified by any video using all caps. All caps as text is already awful. But all caps in video is the devil. I guess CSPAN (etc) puts stuff in all caps because if they did the sane thing and used all lowercase - people would complain about the "lack of proper capitalization". This is the sort of mundane, entirely unsexy shit AI should be fixing.

          I love proper capitalization but I want to watch something in all caps - there are only two routes for me. If I can't change the text - I won't watch. And If I can fix it to lowercase - I'll do that and watch.
