perhaps this is why perpetual trump critic peggy noonan is pleading for the adults to show up in the opposition party, urging them today to know your stuff. have the data. trump bad isn't enough to win. you have to start realizing how popular he is with your own voters. he's a masculine presence, he's funny and he likes americans. those are three powerful qualities in america right now. well, until democrats can find a way to talk to and listen to real americans and then actually seem like they like real americans, the democrats will find themselves in the wilderness for generations. and that's the angle. joining me now is jason chaffetz and mary katharine ham. both are fox news contributors. this was quite a week, both of you. jason, let's start with you. i mean, when peggy noonan, who's obviously not a fan of trump, to put it mildly, she's basically pleading with everything she has with great rhetorical flourish for the party to get serious. will that appeal end up working? >> well, they'll go nowhere without it. i mean, john fetterman is the most mature person they have on that on

peggy noonan just to be a speechwriter for ronald reagan. has a pretty keen observer of politics and human nature. what she is seeing is a trend no one can then ipo to the democrat party has left the american people. when i was a kid i grew up in indiana in the deep south and there was not any republican spirit of the party let the people of my state and every other state over the years. they went through that woke, progressive nonsense appeared to they went so vigorously aggressive that it's almost like pendulum swung to the left and . now we do sort of moving back. what president trump represents in the party by extension now is a force moving the pendulum back to what president trump says is common sense. that was long overdue. the people embrace it here to to the polls verify that they are n favor of what we are doing restoring common sense and conservative principles, which i know we can demonstrate are good for everyone and will lead to -- and we will keep what we gain in the election cycle and govern for many years to come. >> em spee
