Jon Meacham nailed it.

He was on a CNN panel with David Axelrod and he mused that Donald Thump is no longer to speaking to the entire electorate with his deranged tweets. He is communicating exclusively with his rabid base.

Republicans I know are avoiding the Trump issues-happy talking about other topic instead of praising Trum
