Goldwater Rule: POTUS Cray? Who can say?

Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Dr. Prudence Gourguechon shares with "Talk Like a Girl" the limitations of the Goldwater Rule and why after decades of being a proponent of the rule, she is no longer a supporter. "The Relationtrip" actress, Georgia Mischak also joins us in the studio and explains why she will watch Trump's entire speeches and often revisit the transcripts in hopes of finding some sense in what he is saying. As we wonder, "Is POTUS crazy?" We also ask, "Who can actually say so?"
