Would get, i would wager, any other candidate in the republican field absolutely torn to shreds by some of the same conservative commentators who are now celebrating trump. youve listening been told to win over the tea party and the gop base, a candidate has to hew closely to conservative orthodoxy, ideology and ideas about small government and traditional social values. trumps candidacy is revealing the rule wes thought we knew either no longer apply or that maybe they never did. joining me now...
