Donny Deutsch on GOP: What Is It About Half of the Country that Says That’s My Party?

BARNICLE: “... years we’ve been going through this dance with various Republicans, Donny. It verges from spinelessness, to lack of character, to complete duplicity, to fraud, one political party, major political party, gone, diminished, means nothing to a lot of people today. I don’t know how you rebrand that.”
DEUTSCH: “The — the problem is not — the real problem is not the party itself, it’s the voters who are subscribing to the party, 74 million of them last time around. This time Trump ahead in the polls not by a lot. So the real question, and the thing that is the most troubling, and — and I know a lot of these Trump voters is the party speaks for itself. They’re transparent. We see it. Other than Liz, Liz Cheney, and Mitt Romney, I don’t think there’s — and now you saw Paul Ryan — I don’t think there’s any Republican that has spoken outside of or against fearless leader. So what is it about at this point, half the country that says, ‘That’s my party, I’ll vote for that. That works for me.’ That’s the troubling part, is the — is — beyond the party is the voters that are subscribing to it. That keeps me up at night.”
