Matt, and your most recent book, insane, president , youre right about President Trump quote, he is no ordinary conman, he is way above average in the american political system is his easiest mark ever. That was early in the campaign. I think that was it in march of 2016. It was just around the time that he was filling up the republican mom nomination. The the purpose of this article was to try to explain the trump phenomenon to people who were for the first time having to take it seriously and having to come to grips with the fact that this was happening.

My take on him was that he was a Brilliant Media manipulator and he was perfectly suited to play on all the weaknesses of the american political media. That turned out to be true.

Thank you for being with us. Thanks george being with us so the race seemed to be relatively close to senator mccain with a slight to lead them some things seem to change now with say much wider lead. R what has happened . Life thinking it was tight early on in the spring part of it was that he was embroiled in a bitter republican primary he ended the winning very handily about 12 points over the closest opponent he guest 52 of the vote. So theres a lot of dissatisfaction with thedi cane in the Republican Partyai and i think that may have colored some of the of polling with the generalg election from some sources of the Mccain Campaign doing their own polling there was confusion among those antimccain voters and Ann Kirkpatrick is actually his main primary opponent they would confuse them in their mind so that republican and dissatisfaction meeting in to the polls after mccain had the primary then they came home that may not like tim are maybe the key is to moderate or liberal. But the
