I think the GOP tearing itself apart to decide who gets to lose to Biden/mail in voting/ballot harvesting/boxes of ballots found under tables at 1am is a stupid idea, and the democrats love to see it. If Trump wants the nomination just let him have it. He's already lost to the puppet Biden once, he can handle losing again.
But then again, contrary to popular City-Data Democrat belief, not everyone with conservative political views watches Fox News.
Many MAGA are not true conservatives. Especially those Qanon people and the addicts of Fox. They are confused individuals who are easily mislead, many of whom do not understand fiscal conservatism and wouldn't agree with it if they understood it, they are fighting culture wars exclusively.
If you are a true conservative, you will not need to watch any cable news service at all.
What news do you watch? I'm looking for a different outlet myself.
I don’t watch any cable news. I recently ended my Cable TV service. If I really wanted to, I’m sure I could stream cable news, but I’m not interested.
I read my news instead. I look at local sources for local news, AP/Reuters (usually through an aggregator) to see what the MSM is up to, and I read conservative sources of news as well, while taking into account all of the above sources have their agendas. Sometimes I’ll use the Yahoo homepage to see what they are featuring as news, but it’s usually nonsense like HuffPost.
I thought the bit of him explaining supply side economics' multiplying effect, as one aspect of growth leads to other aspects of growth, and the individual’s growth at the microeconomic level would aggregate to form overall growth at the macroeconomic level displayed a deep understanding of business and economy type stuff.

Supply side economics (also called "trickle down") is a myth. It has the status of a religion, not based on reality but more like wishful thinking. Typically used as an excuse to give tax breaks to the wealthy, historically the policy does not work very well for it's intended purpose, but it widens the wealth and income gaps.
It's the "build it and they will come" philosophy. That has been the recipe for many spectacular business failures, so giving more money (via tax breaks) to the investors who already have money just incentivizes hoarding and stock buy backs. They will take the tax break but will not simply build factories and shopping centers without being absolutely sure there is a need for them.
The real driver of economic growth is demand. Find where the demand is and chase it.
The best way to pick up an economy is to find ways to increase demand. Put money in the pockets of people who need it and they will immediately spend it and recirculate the money in the economy.
This is why labor unions are so good for the economy. When working people have more money, the economy booms. When the poor are given assistance the economy picks up immediately in a 1 - 1 ratio.
This is directly opposite to supply side economics, which benefits the rich first and the distribution beyond that is controlled by a few self-interested wealthy individuals. Given the choice between building a factory building which may never have a machine installed or buying a yacht, they buy the yacht and order finished goods to sell from China.
