Gerson: Trump Has ‘a Presidential Model of Authenticity that Means Thoughtlessness’

WOODRUFF: "Is that something, though, that endures into this next year? Do you see that phenomenon of being able to say what he wants to say and having it stand lasting and having an effect?"
GERSON: "I think it’s raising a very fundamental issue in American politics, which is, what is the meaning of authenticity? Is it this kind of, you know, offhand comment that Donald Trump engages in, or is it crafted rhetoric? Is it careful policy? Is it seriousness? And right now, we have a model, a presidential model of authenticity that means thoughtlessness. And I think that that’s going to have to be retaken in the Republican Party."
