Description

Scott Lively's 27 percent showing at the Massachusetts

Republican state convention demonstrates that the hard right is a force to be

reckoned with. That it took two ballots for Trump-supporting U.S. Senate candidate

Geoff Diehl to clinch the GOP endorsement shows that the Trumpians are not

muscle bound, well, at least not ripped. An exhausted but ebullient Diehl

joined the Scrum minutes after the convention was gaveled to its close. Other

guests include: Michael Jonas of Commonwealth Magazine, Republican delegates Ed

Lyons and Amy Carnevale. And from the WGBH political team: Antonio Caban, Mike

Deehan, Adam Reilly, and Peter Kadzis.
