EXCERPT:
SCARBOROUGH: “If you believe in American capitalism, you should be worried about Donald Trump being elected. We always talk about democracy, we always talk about democracy, Madisonian democracy under threat, because Madisonian democracy is under threat, but American capitalism also under threat, because I will tell you, I grew up a conservative, I know you didn't, but what we conservatives believe is in less government, less power concentrated the imperial presidency, less power concentrated in Washington, D.C.. And here you have Donald Trump saying, I'm going to take all the power into my office. I'm going to control the Fed. I'm going to control the FCC. I'm going to control the Justice Department. I'm going to control everything that I can control within the Oval Office. That is the antithesis of Madisonian democracy. That is the antithesis of checks and balances as laid out in the United States Constitution.”
