Extends to democrats and candidates like hillary clinton as well who are out there grubbing for money and doing all sorts of things that ordinary americans find offensive and think are wrong. trump is articulating something that has a broader appeal. i think trump, if you ll pardon the phrase, what a lot of voters claim to be their big issues like evangelicals, born again christians, the one thing they can agree on is trump is speaking for them, at least right now. they can agree there s a pronounced distaste for the democratic party. i think if there s a chink in the trump armor, it mait may be his past support for hillary clinton, the fact he s donated to democrats. today he said he was a fan of paul voelker and the volcker rule. that s progressive economic policy. i feel like maybe that s an area where fellow republicans can try and find a way in? there are a lot of chinks in trump s armor and i think he

Crimson endorses trump for president. sadly for donald trump at least, the famed harvard student newspaper did no such thing. the elaborate roos was most likely part of a rivalry between the harvard newspaper and the magazine the lampoon. maybe next time. when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you re doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don t have to plan around either. it s the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction
But the idea of undifferentiated resentment. the resentment is the whole point, it s the beginning and end of his candidacy. i think that s right. it s useful for us to go back and look at how republicans regarded these waves of rage since obama became president. people thought the answer is we have to be against health care, against cap and trade, against the export/import bank. i think trump is showing you have to be kind of an angry jerk to really display the feelings that they have in the obama era, or at least a lot of them, that they don t really care about the issues at all. they just want someone who acts the way that they feel, and he s doing that. josh, you had a series of tweets that broke down important polling on trump and how republican voters feel. one in particular to jonathan s point, the angry electorate, moderate republicans in the new
Eight months before people start voting in iowa. some of the people in the top tier will fall back into the second tier, and some of the people in the second tier will come forward. here is how the stage will look for the main event on thursday night. front-runner donald trump who holds a double-digit lead over his nearest competitor will be at center stage franked by jeb bush and governor scott walker, polling in second and third place. positions four through eight will be occupied by mike huckabee, ben carson, ted cruz, marco rubio and rand paul. down at the ends of the stage, chris christie and john kasich who squeaked in at about 3% each. these are the candidates who didn t make it, rick perry barely missing the cut, rick santorum who won 11 states and finished second to mitt romly in the 2012 nominating process,
But it s not completely unheard of. i think much more of what s going on is ha the breakdown is not coming the way people expected. the fact that this debate, this hotly anticipated clash will have donald trump in the center of the stage. remember, the way the board is actually set is the candidate polling the highest actually gets put right there in the center. he s going to get probably the most questions. the fact he s going to be right there in the center and you ll have candidates considered marquis players a couple years ago like perry, santorum not on the age the starting shot of the 2016 campaign. rick wilson, if you had a horse in this race, which debate stage would you want him on? on the main debate stage because it will get a ton of eyeballs. roger ailes is brilliant at television and framing a brilliant television event for
As truth telling celebrity reality guy but standard bearer for the republican party. if they mentally begin to associate him as a republican presidential candidate. people will begin to think, we ll hold him to the same kind of scrutiny we hold other candidates to. that s a hurdle i think trump might have a difficult time clearing. the unsinkable, unthinkable donald trump. jonathan chat, josh green, thanks for joining me guys. thanks, alex. up next, chris christie gets candid at a campaign stop, maybe a little too candid.
Frequency of the changes of the front-runner in this political environment is going to surprise people. donald trump will fade eventually. the people that on the republican side who have been swinging at him i think will get credit for it down the line because they re going to show strength against a guy who is eventually going to be rarded it s one thing to be the strong man but it tips over to being the bully very quickly. i think drum s brand has a little time left on it. he gets coverage because he says something outrageous. therefore, we get more news coverage. god love you guys, you can keep throwing that alligator meat all day long. it s going to eat you last. trump is not running on a political platform. it s purely ego. it s a giant con. the things he selected are things people are legitimately angry about but he s playing people. it may be a giant con. ezra klein, rick wilson and rick
Bloomberg politics poll only narrowly favor jeb bush 20%, 19%. effectively moderates are going equally for trump as they are for bush. it is absolutely remarkable f. you look at the new bloomberg poll, not only does trump have a huge lead, but a tremendously powerful appeal to every segment of the republican party. grie with john. i think the reason is trump has become a vessel from the maximal expression of rage and outrage at not only republican leaders and president obama, but pretty much the whole political institution, the whole political world including shows like this one and people like me and you, and trump more effectively conveys that anger than anybody else out there. i think that s the key to his appeal and it explains everything and it s a huge, huge danger for the republican party. there seemed to be a lot of hypocrisies embedded in his
About all the problems, the debt, the immigration and nothing ever happens and nothing ever changes. look at the showed planned parenthood vote. he has called for a shutdown of planned parenthood. i don t think even pro choice people could look at these videos and think that represents their values. we have this show vote we put on the u.s. senate. to the point, donald trump is talking about things and issues that people care about and they re ending the rest of the republican field a clear message, is talk about these issues and give us your answer to these issues and stop trying the have it both ways. i would push back. ezra, you have written about this, people are taking donald trump seriously. he has broad support. we ll have much more breakdown on the polling.
