Jennifer Rubin on Trump: WaPo Alerting the Public to Someone Who Is Dangerous

Donald Trump voters ‘reacting in an emotional visceral way’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
HARLOW: "Jennifer, to you, you have no role in the editorial board obviously, you work as a journalist for the paper, they are separate. They are calling trump a menace. This after he gets 40% of the vote in Nevada. Is that disrespecting the voice of the voter?"
RUBIN: "No, I think they’re advocating. They’re trying to alert the public to someone they feel is dangerous, is a menace. Listen, I do not think, nor do I think they think, although they can certainly speak for themselves, that the core of Trump voters are reachable. They’re reacting in an emotional visceral way. What they’re trying to do is speak to Republicans who are supple to reason, who can rally around a single alternative to trump. Although it doesn’t seem like that is having much of an effect, in fact, we are seeing a narrowing of the Republican field. And you are getting down to a few candidates who potentially have the opportunity to upend him."
