come commadore hotel. he misrepresents his biography at every turn and unreliable narrator. i just called you carly. thank you. you were talking about the outsider fa nom nom. if you add up the support it s over 50%. carly fiorina, who s not polling that high in national polls she s in there. she s in there. it makes it even higher. this outsider dynamic, it s so fascinating because, again, you hear michael talk about donald trump s upbringing. the million dollar small loan he got from his father. nevertheless, people from all walks of life seem willing to identify with that. you know, john, because we re surrounded, unfortunately, by evidence that government has failed us in so many ways. it is inefficient, it is ineffective. we have fewer of us, a
you don t have the outsider dynamic. she wants to say my experience prepares me to be the better president. she s hoping answers say that and optics, wants to look more presidential. but her consistency, what she will could evolutions, rivals call them political flip-flops. what s going on in the democratic party is different to me, because these candidates have clearly made the calculation, particularly hillary clinton, because you talk about her changing positions, she s made the calculation that moving to the left is not going to hurt her if she becomes a nominee in a he general election and i think it s because she wants the obama coalition behind her and feels maybe she needs to move to the left to do that because that s where the primary voters are. but we re not used to seeing this. remember, mitt romney, the republican party, moved so far to the right on immigration it hurt him in the general. well, democrats are now saying, moving towards the base is not going to hurt them.
candidates but look, donald trump is in command in the field and i think the reason for that is simple, because that outsider dynamic is so strong this year, people look around and they think our domestic and foreign policy is in ept, schools are failing. they want somebody who can come in from the outside to fix things. so the environment is perfect for a tough-talking businessman like donald trump and as long as this field remains as large as it is now, he will continue to get top of the poll position. and i guess there is one message that could go out, don t mess with trump because if you do, you might be dropping out and your numbers might be going down quickly. eric, stand by. i want to bring in for analysis, gloria borger. our senior political analyst ron brown stein and dana bash.
