CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well, when I first heard it, I thought obviously he's talking about NRA folks lobbying against these kinds judges because the alternative is too nuts, even for Trump, even in his offhanded remarks, even in his sort of wise guy mode. I still think that's true. I can't quite believe he would have implied otherwise. But how many times have we heard on this set or have we heard from every politician, every analyst, every Democrat, every Republican, of course, advising Trump and saying you have to be responsible, watch your words. And they say, “Well he turned the corner because he read a speech yesterday. That was coherent.” That's not turning the corner. There's a matter of character. I don't think at man that age, a year and a few months into a campaign is going to become responsible. You don't say stuff like that that can be seen otherwise. It's not the press. It's not the Democrats. This is a self-inflicted wound. 

DOUG MCKELWAY (GUEST HOST): I think a lot of people thought after the Detroit Economic Club speech, that he would go back into a precision of language or discipline, but he --

KRAUTHAMMER: He said that a million times. We’ve had so many pirouettes, it could be a ballet.
