MSNBC Guest Asks Media, “How Stupid Can We Possibly Be To Keep Getting Fooled By” Trump's Pivots?

Tim Miller: “This Is Trump. He Says Demeaning Things To Women And Minorities, He's A Conspiracy Theorist. He’s A Liar. This Is What We Have.”

From the June 22 edition of MSNBC's MSNBC Live:

CRAIG MELVIN (HOST): Tim, any chance today's speech or the campaign structure changes that Michael just outlined there? Any chances that any of that stuff dampens talk of a never Trump candidate at the convention in Cleveland? 

TIM MILLER: I don't think so, Craig. I've got old saying for my friends and the GOP establishment who keep thinking Trump is going to pivot. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Fool me one hundred thousand times, how stupid can we possibly be to keep getting fooled by this guy? And every day I get a call from a reporter who says now is he going to pivot? Now is he going to pivot? No, this is Trump. He says demeaning things to women and minorities, he's a conspiracy theorist. He’s a liar. This is what we have. And we have to decide, do we want to stick with this person who has no chance to beat Hillary Clinton or should we give the delegates an opportunity to vote their conscience. And that's where I stand. 

[...]

What we need to do is not force the delegates to rubber stamp a guy that has made countless racist statements, that wants to turn this party into a protectionist, anti immigrant, white grievance party.
