Summary

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the torque that exists in many of the Republicans' positions that tend to act in opposition to each other. Plus, they break down how Republicans vote as acts of faith, preferring candidates who believe in their policies without them actually doing anything to achieve them.
