I'm probably wrong but it crossed my mind.

1. Good grief, don't even think that. I heard on TMZ that he is going to NewsNation?? LOL

13. If he wants to run against Trump, more power to him!!!

THAT is a shitshow that I would like to see!


But if that is not possible, he will probably land at one of the much much smaller
farther and farther right-wing cable news networks,
where he will have much much less exposure...

2. Tucker got too big for his britches. Multi billionaires like Rupert

don't tolerate disrespect from the hired help.

3. His grift is broadcasting

4. Do you really think he could handle a debate where his didn't control the microphone?

Or couldn't cut off the other speaker?

5. How many other fired folks became President?

6. Why would he need to be fired to run for President?

9. I think it helps him look like an outsider who took on Fox News

As they are saying over at FR they are going crazy over there over this.

7. No.

8. That moron Nick Adams (Alpha Male) suggested he could be Trump's VP.

Even that thought is pretty disgusting.

10. I doubt that it's about him running for office

I think this was a combination of Tucker being a supremely unpleasant person and a legal liability, plus him acting like he ran the network.

Someone on the twitter made a point about Carlson. His popularity wasn't because of his content, it was because of his time slot. I think I agree with this point.

11. They were trying to suggest that I think on Scarborough tonite.

But either online or on tv it was also suggested he would run as Tpm VP. I doubt that would help.

12. Life is not an endless series of conspiracies.
