Mike Barnicle

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle sums up leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s success—not without controversy—in simple terms: “Over the past eight years, the [Republicans] running for President today, all of them with the exception of Donald J. Trump, have skipped over the opportunity to talk about what happened to the American family in the winter of 2008 and 2009 when the economy shattered, and too many of them lost their hope. And for some reason, you go figure, Trump is addressing those anxieties.”
