You know, as time goes by, you\u2019re going to lose more and more political power. Keep in mind \u2014 Republicans still won just about half of every races, but then Donald Trump came along and, I think unintentionally because I think he just wanted to be, you know, that guy,&nbsp;unintentionally got in front of the wave where people wanted somebody to blow stuff up. I think it\u2019s a little of both. I think it\u2019s fed off each other. The problem is leaders have to now interdict this fear and anger cycle, and they\u2019re not doing it. They\u2019re instead hiding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday on NBC News\u2019 \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d Rep.
