George HW Bush economist shocked Chris Hayes when he said this about his Republican Party (VIDEO)


Bruce Bartlett, a senior policy analyst for George HW Bush was a guest on All-In with Chris Hayes. It is unlikely that any harsher critique could have been made against the Republican Party than what he articulated in a politically incorrect manner.

Bartlett was politically incorrect but said a truth that many see but won’t say. He has been a staunch and frequent critic of what the Republican Party has become. Maybe he is right and Trump will cause the purge that will bring back sanity to the Republican Party.

I couldn't agree more.

Among other things, to follow up with your comment, one of the things that we are seeing very clearly this time more than any other year is that issues don’t matter. Policies don’t matter. The only thing that matters is attitude. And Trump has exactly the right ‘chip on your shoulder’ attitude that many many people find extraordinarily attractive that is completely divorced from whatever he is saying about the issues which is precious little.”
