GRETA VAN SUSTEREN (HOST): What I hear is that there are a lot of Republicans who don't like his tone or rhetoric. Look, I don't like the insults, but the fact is if he acts sort of like the other ones, without that tone and rhetoric, they lost. His tone and rhetoric has drawn people to the party, and he won. So does that mean the strategy is to keep going with that tone and rhetoric?

JOHN BARRASSO: Well, what we know is that two-thirds of Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction, and I think people all around the country know that we cannot afford for America to have another four years like the last eight years. And that's what you get with Hillary Clinton. You get a third Obama term.

[...]

BARRASSO: We talked specifically about the issue of tone matters. And as our mothers told all of us, it's not what you say, it's how you say it.

SUSTEREN: But it's worked for him. See, that's the irony of it -- is that his tone has drawn people to the Republican Party, and he is walking away with the nomination. And he has crushed everybody else who had, quote, “good tone.”
