Sends confusing messages for people. >> i like teleprompter trump better than rally trump when he is unscripted. i think he really does thrive on creating these divisions. he engages in name calling and insults on a regular basis. this is not presidential. let's face it. that commentary is not presidential. it degrades civil discourse and some of this started long before donald trump. the tone has degraded. i said on another show the other day, i would go home as a member of congress, i would have people get in my face and say i might agree with ow this given policy. >> when you are a public f...

Big difference between comments made and actions taken. the president is certainly not responsible for sending suspicious packages to someone, no more than bernie sanders was responsible for a supporter of his shooting up a republican baseball field practice. >> well, i agree. bernie sanders is not responsible for steve scalise being shot, just as donald trump is not responsible for these pipe bombs. but what i would say, though, when you're the president of the united states, your words matter. i always thought when the president spoke, that was policy and with this president, that has not be...

On a given policy i have to regard as evil and, therefore, not part of a shared america. the business model that people like hannity advance isn't good for the next generation. it doesn't get to any sense of what a shared republic ed repub together. >> you write about the tendency of individuals to overlook the flaws of those, quote, in the tribe. there's a deep and corrosive tribal impulse to act as if the enemy of my enemy is my friend when the enemy of my enemy is just a jackass. do you think your tribe failed christine blasey-ford for at least not condemning the president when he mocked he...
