he has the attention span and the knowledge base of a 9-year-old with adhd. i'm not saying that to be funny. i'm saying that soberly and with great fear. he doesn't know very much. he doesn't think in any complex ways and he can't pay attention. would you want a surgeon cut into your brain without training to be a surgeon? it's a frightening prospect. >> how does somebody with the kind of limitations you are describing beat 17 other very accomplished, well-qualified professional politicians, win the republican nomination going away and is now going to be on the stage tonight? >> by instinctively appealing to the amegdola of the brain rather than the prefrontal cortex. by rousing people's emotions as i'm sure he will do tonight so it overwhelms their capacity to look at a person rationally. any person who understands who this man is would not vote for him, period. why not? because he's not qualified for the job. put aside ideology. it isn't clear that he has an ideology anyway so the whole issue to me is what is this man's character and is it reasonable to hav

rest of it but up to him, and best thing he has going for him again is the other side doesn't have a adhdump spends a lot of time, with people. he runs a big corporation, he is touching people all the time i think he resonates with average person on the street, this issue of security is really important. and this build the wall a symbol of personal family security and i think women are going to come around to understand he has an on the of the big families he has one understands he has big business, it is important to him for people to be happy, and productive, and i think he is going to hit the ball out of the park i am up very positive. >> hopeful. >> it is women vote the hai hispanic. >> probably not inwroodz on hispanic two major issues are basically the economy moving forward again has to do that are you going to make us safe what side do you want to be on on side of protesters in the street or on the side of cops soldiers what you have my sense is that he is going to make those, people for him talk about those people we can't have, policemen across the country shot in the back kille

you don't want someone with the attention span of a 9-year-old with adhd and a remarkable lack of knowledgeing us and inability in my mind based on my experience to reflect and to compose himself. you saw it yesterday, when he came out with the comments he did about russia. he is not a person who thinks through what he says. he reacts impulsively. he was feeling small and diminished that so much attention was being focused on the democrats, and he just couldn't stand it. that's my experience. when the attention and spotlight is not on donald trump, he will do anything to get it back. >> well, then, how do you account for his success? people find him compelling. the media has admitted he has the ability to see a feeling, a mood, a trend in this country, especially culturally that resonated that took out a field of the gop's best, some 16 large. >> yeah, listen, i'm not a pundit. i am a person who watches a man in the way he behaves. i'm looking at his character. and what i think trump did that i observed him doing was he used his force of personality, his insistence that any given thing he s
