From New Hampshire, to South Carolina, to Nevada, Donald Trump just keeps on winning. For Republican Trump skeptics, there’s no sense any longer in play-acting as if Marco Rubio could pull ahead, or as if Donald Trump isn’t the prohibitive favorite of the electorate.

On this episode of Primary Concerns, host Brian Beutler talks to two conservative writers with very different feelings about Trump. A.J.

Michael Brendan Dougherty, a senior correspondent at The Week, remains skeptical of Trump’s qualifications. Take a listen.
