Charles Krauthammer told viewers Tuesday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that Donald Trump’s controversial remarks are, “a reflection of who he is.”

“Everybody expected the pivot to being Presidential, to being conciliatory, to bringing the party together and it never comes,” said the syndicated columnist.

Krauthammer says the only way the Democrats can win is by arguing for “the unfitness” of the opponent for the office.

“With any other candidate on the Republican side, this thing would be over,” said Krauthammer. “Given the eight years of record, the failures abroad, the things that Pence raised about what's happening in the Middle East, the news we got on the economy last week--the weakest recovery since 1949, the list is very long.”
