THE LAST WORD

Video

“There is no battle for the soul of the Republican Party as we often hear from the old guard. There’s about 75% of the public who are “America First” conservatives. They think the spectacle in Atlanta is a joke and that’s what they’re talking to their friends about, but everyone else represented by McConnell, Nikki Haley, Chamber of Commerce Coalition, maybe about 25%.”
