Charlie Sykes: Trump So Far Has Not Allowed Any Daylight Between Himself and the NRA Hardliners

‘And if he doesn’t move, the Republican Party’s not going to move on all of this’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "You don’t see it shifting? You got gun owners in favor of background checks. You got gun owners overwhelmingly in favor of red flag laws."

SYKES: "And they always have been. But there is this fear of going up against that hardcore intense base that the NRA represents. Now, I mean, we could be shocked by Donald Trump. But Donald Trump so far has not allowed any daylight between himself and the NRA, the hardliners on all of this. And if he doesn’t move, the Republican Party’s not going to move on all of this. And then I think they’re going to pay a huge price at the polls."
