Rep. Alan Grayson on Trump’s Support: ‘We’re Looking at the Worst 1.2% in America’

HAYES: “Joining me now at the table, Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida. All right. Several people have called you Trump of the left. What do you think of that?

GRAYSON: “Well, we`re both ahead in the polls so I feel good about that.” (Laughter)

HAYES: “You do the thing where you talk about your polling immediately.”

GRAYSON: “Well, the thing, the thing. But, look, it is true. People have told me over and over again that I`m saying what they`re thinking but nobody else is saying. Those people say that are good solid Democrats, they`re champions of justice and equality and peace. When people say that about Trump, that he`s saying what they`re thinking and nobody else is saying, they`re nuts. So, that`s a pretty fundamental difference. And recognize how narrow his support base really is. Only 4 percent of the public ever votes in a Republican primary. He`s got 30 percent of 4 percent. We`re looking at the worst 1.2 percent in America.”
