Mark, help me understand this better, because it's just so fascinating, because I can't

quite figure out how Republicans are duped so easily.

You have, let's talk about the two people that right now a lot of people are fascinated

by and talking about and Democrats are concerned about.

Donald Trump, Democrat for most of his life, gave millions of dollars to Democrats and

though it wasn't like back in the 1990s, he contributed to Kamala Harris' campaign

in 2014, right?

And then you have Kerry Lake, a Barack who's saying Obama supporter, right?

So she was swept up with hope and change.

As a Donald Trump was his supporter of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton and best friends

it seemed at times with Bill Clinton.

He loved Democrats.

He attacked Ronald Reagan.

He attacked one Republican after another.

How can it be that Republicans embrace these people who were so hostile to the Republican

Party to conservatism, to everything that they supposedly care so much about now?

Well, Joe, that's what's so depressing for those of us on Survivor Island in the Republican

Party.

The party has abandoned completely any sense of ideology or coherent policy that has any

kind of framework.

There's certainly no compassionate conservatism which first drew me across the bridge and

it has simply become transactional about an only retaining power.
