the title of howard kurtz's column asks this question. are never trumpers being consumed by their own fiery denunciations? are they? >> the point is it doesn't do the president or republican party or even critics of president trump any favors when they say every day the sky is falling. chris's point is that only dilutes their argument. he is saying it leads to this idea the bar is lowered for this president. the footage you're showing now is president trump on tuesday meeting with lawmakers on capitol hill about a deal for daca. kurt's point is that was a good moment for the president. he looked presidential and like he belonged in the room and had a command over the proceedings going on. when the never trumpers lower the bar and say he is misfit for the presidency they change the standard by which he should be judged and a disservice to their own movement. >> jon: some republicans have warmed to the president. he was a democrat before he became a republican and ran for the presidency. but the love affair from really either party is prett
