Appearing on Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward declared that the defeat of Ted Cruz in the Republican primary revealed that “Conservatism in America, in the Republican Party, is in a crisis. It just does not sell.” He argued that Cruz lost because “his ideas have not taken hold and they were totally overwhelmed by the Trump campaign.”

Of Trump, Woodward proclaimed: “I mean, it's all about his personality. If you can step back, and this is the hardest thing, he's a revolutionary. This is the Trump revolution now....You talk to people, as we’re doing, and one of them said, ‘One of the things about Trump, there is no governor on his capacity for risk, but he is an exceptional visionary.’”
