robert frost described a liberal as someone unwilling to take his own side in a fight. will that be what is said of conservatives and republicans that they stood on the sideline and watched as the part of lincoln and teddy roosevelt and reagan was destroyed. what do you make of that, hugh? >> it's overwrougt, they are in a constant stage offage tags over president trump. jeff flake was going to lose because he was part of the gang of eight two years ago before donald trump, mcsally will win that seat. orrin hatch is going to retire because he's 80 and had a great career and mitt romney will win that seat. the republican party is hardly becoming a trumpian party. the president matter s a great deal, but maybe want to broaden their lens a little bit and look at the underlying facts of the stories, not just what they play in every day and every column. >> i'm reading a quiz cal look on your face. i'll let you say what you're thinking. >> we've seen this extraordinary thing happen maybe in the past week in the republican party. that is the eruption of the most significant c

robert frost famously described a liberal as someone unwilling to take his own side in a fight. will that be what is said of conservatives and republicans, that they stood on the sidelines and watched the party of lincoln and teddy roosevelt and reagan was destroyed? >> that's being written, mika, on october 27, 2017. remember when donald trump proposed the ban in early december 2015, us saying on this set that the republican party can't go there. if the republican party goes there, that is a republican that should never win the nomination. they've gone there and gene, you look at ed gillespie, a guy i've known forever and respected forever, a very smart policy guy. you sit there and think, well, he's a republican but he stayed arm's length away from trump and trumpism. he'd be a pretty effective governor and wouldn't embarrass me as a guy who has been a republican my entire life. he's ending his campaign talking about defending confederate statues including i think one of a guy who started the kkk. >> it's very sad to tell you the truth. gillespie was a won kish policy guy. i w
