A recent survey shows that more republicans feel their side is losing than women. Some are day dreaming about life after trump. A number of republicans including senators tom cotton and ben sass and john kasich are discarding the respect, it is almost as if trumps fellow republicans might have a loser on their hands. Joining me now is evan seigfried. Im going to start with you right here at the desk we me, evan. Donald trumps numbers are not good to say the least. Lets go through this stunning poll.
