look, the difference between then and now has a lot to do with donald trump s popularity with republican voters. i mean, if you look where donald trump is now, he s getting 87% to 90% of support from republican voters consistently. you take a state like north dakota, where the president just was, where he won in 2016 in huge numbers. he is going to have a huge positive impact on congressman cramer, who is the candidate in north dakota. that matters, a lot, to these guys who are sitting incumbent. the way they view president trump is largely through the lens of how the republican base electorate views the president. he is in a much more popular place now than he was during the campaign, when senator graham tweeted that original tweet about the president. is it fair to say that there are republican office holders, especially in the leadership, with a kind of blood on their hands, as we are discussing nazis in 2018? well, this is one of those things where i think republicans would d
