EXCERPT:
I mean the problem is, you have a framework In your mind, ‘How can Donald Trump? How can Donald Trump? How can Donald Trump?’ Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump Is not an idiot. Let me just be very clear, Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House — “
CILLIZZA: “Totally agree.”
Jones: “ — the popular vote. He has a massive media ecosystem bigger than the mainstream built around him and for him and a religious fervor in a political movement around him. And his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him. This dude is a phenomenon. He is the most powerful human on earth and in our lifetime And we’re still saying, ‘Well, how is this guy...?’ We look like idiots to ordinary people.”
