Confessore: Hard for Trump to Bully When He Only Has a 1/3 of the Country

‘I think we’re seeing a consequence of this’

RSH EXCERPT:

CONFESSORE: "It’s true. But to go back to something we talked about after his inauguration, his speech that was aimed at that 36% and just them, I think we’re seeing a consequence of this, that if you govern for your base for a third of the country, only a third of the country will support you. The problem is if you try to do complicated things in Congress liking tax reform that require you to have some political capital and some strength and some ability to bully if you have to, it’s hard to do that if you’re a third of the country. It’s very hard to do."
