Geist: Trump’s ‘Connecting with People ... Talking the Way They Talk at Home’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

GEIST: "And on your gut point, what Donald Trump tweeted yesterday morning, we said yesterday on this show he shouldn’t have done it. He should have offered condolences first. But everybody at home was thinking the same thing. Somebody blew up that plane. Donald Trump has tapped into what people think in the country. What they think in bars and at their kitchen table in the morning. The distinction is he wants to be commander-in-chief and there’s a different standard. Hillary Clinton said the same thing. She just said it a couple hours later. She said this was an act of terrorism. He got out early. I’m not defending what he wrote, but all I’m saying is he is going on gut and he’s connect ING with people and thinking and talking the way they talk at home."
