Elise Jordan: Trump Rantings Sound Like He ‘Should Be in a Straitjacket and Given Some Kind of Injection’

‘But unfortunately as we have seen, there are plenty of Republican voters who are willing to look away and dismiss it just as theater’

EXCERPT:

JORDAN: "Joe, you would hope so. You would hope that in saying rantings that sound like someone should not be in power, rather they should be in a straitjacket and given some kind of injection, you would hope that that would not be just dismissed by a lot of voters. But unfortunately, as we have seen, there are plenty of Republican voters who are willing to look away and dismiss it just as theater, just as performance, because they are so against -- the polarization is so strong and they are so against the other side. And all that matters is defeating the other side. And you look at how the electorate in this country has become so radicalized, where two out of 10 Americans see the other side as the enemy, not just political opposition but the enemy, and so I worry that Donald Trump is winning when attention is on him, no matter how insane or inane his comments are at a given moment."
