A | Professor David Woodard, Clemson University political scientist and former political consultant for Republican congressmen, believes that an early bid by Donald Trump could be "a disaster.",Sputnik: What are the pros and cons of starting the race in the middle of the highly publicized January 6 panel hearings?,Woodard: In my opinion Trump is not starting his race in the middle of the hearings. He is waiting and will file for office later. He likes the spotlight, but this time the hearings only hurt him. The Democrats know they are facing the apocalypse in the midterm elections this year, so they are playing the only tune they can - Trump is bad. They are hopeful of discrediting Trump before the midterm elections. I think the tactic is good: Trump has two impeachments against him and a riot on election day - those are not good recommendations for someone to run for office.,Trump Reportedly Mulls Making 2024 Presidential Bid as Early as July While Aides & Allies Divided2 July, 12:34 GMT,Sputnik: What legal and political consequences do you expect from the congressional hearings into the Capitol riot, especially given Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony last week?,Woodard: I think Cassidy Hutchinson will be discredited, but her testimony has been successful in raising questions Republicans, not just Democrats, have about Trump. Even if she can't prove that Trump "lunged for the wheel" in the limo, the behavior described fits his former president's personality. I think the GOP regulars are looking for a new leader and this hearing serves to discredit Trump even in his denial.,I think the hearings will be criticized by the Republican - about to be majority - in Congress. If Liz Cheney loses, then the hearings will be discredited. If Liz Cheney wins her race, (that is possible, but not probable) then the Trump people are in trouble because her victory shows that the GOP is independent of Trump appeals. That's big news.,Sputnik: Some Republicans are urging Trump to postpone his campaigning until after the midterms, arguing that he might prove a distraction from the party's message. How would an early bid affect the upcoming midterms results?,Woodard: An early bid by Trump could be a disaster. It is like the American space program, the early launch of a rocket means it could tumble back to earth. Trump is fully capable of a mistimed beginning, this isn't 2016 anymore. Timing is important in politics, and the Trump election was perfectly timed opposite Hillary Clinton. That isn't the case anymore, he's overstayed his time on the stage, and Republicans are ready to change to a new voice.,Trump Could Preempt ‘Bogus Findings’ of January 6 Hearing by Announcing 2024 Bid Early, Pundit SaysYesterday, 15:29 GMT,Sputnik: Trump would enter the race with an approval rating among Republicans of around 80 percent. Would an early bid help Trump to reassert himself as the head of the party and cause voters to rally behind him?,Woodard: Remember this about approval ratings (the 80% for Trump): They don't transfer into votes. Yes, Republicans remember Trump, but they also remember Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan - that doesn't mean they think those people from the past are the best choice in the present. Trump can only re-assert his leadership if he trashes his opponents in early presidential primaries...until then, everything about Trump is pure speculation. I believe that Trump - like Barry Goldwater, Ross Perot, and Richard Nixon - is past history. He can't revive himself after he is so well-known, and with his reputation he has a real problem looking good.,Sputnik: Who are his main rivals inside the party and how do you rate their chances?,Woodard: Obviously, the main voice of the future is Ron DeSantis in Florida. He's a governor and he has a regular voice opposite Biden. Tom Cotton from Arkansas is a solid, conservative voice but he isn't a startling, bright personality. Rick Scott is another Florida personality, but I think he is behind DeSantis. Nikki Haley from SC is a much smaller light than other members of the field, but she might make a good VP. Ted Cruz from Texas is too rough a personality after Trump, people like - they don't love - Cruz.,© AP Photo / Wilfredo LeeFlorida Gov.

His problem is that he doesn't have a platform to address the audience. I think Trump will be shown to be a bag of wind, something Americans don't want in the presidential office again.。 8月26日讯 热火队为新援克莱·汤普森召开了新闻发布会，主教练斯波和克莱均出席了发布会。克莱·汤普森表示，迈阿密可以说是自己的“第二故乡”。他说：“我人生中第一次来到离巴哈马这么近的地方（打球），这种感觉真的很特别。
B | 我可以在我的表亲、姨妈们面前打球，也能因为生活在南佛罗里达，与家人保持非常紧密的联系。所以我真的对此感到非常兴奋。这里在某种程度上就像我的第二故乡，所以我非常开心能来到这里，能够成为一支冠军级球队的一员，更是锦上添花。”克莱还谈到他的父亲曾就读迈阿密杰克逊高中，他说：“他跟我讲过很多关于那支连续两年赢得州冠军的球队的故事，我爸到现在还坚称，那是佛罗里达州高中篮球历史上最强的球队。”克莱的父亲迈克尔·汤普森出生于巴哈马首都拿骚。
C | 因此克莱的家族与巴哈马有着很深的联系。虽然克莱本人出生在美国，但他的亲戚中仍有不少人生活在巴哈马。而迈阿密恰好是距离巴哈马非常近的美国主要城市之一。从迈阿密到巴哈马首都拿骚，直线距离大约只有290公里，乘坐直飞航班通常不到1小时。
