I don't think Trump is out of the woods, even though his poll numbers are not only staying up, they have actually been strengthened some.
No, their problem is Anderson, he's got more support back in their districts in their states than they do and that gives him enormous -- it gives him enormous leverage against them.
He is a leader there's no question about that. But I think he's a bad leader. I think he's leaving his people into, he's leading the country, especially into a very bad place.
I think it's going to take something usually unexpected or a dramatic change in his health or a prison sentence to stop him.
