Asked for his analysis about what is going on, he explained that not only is most of the country tired of Trump, some of his most avid supporters are flat-out exhausted with politics in general.

"I think if there is exhaustion factor," he told the co-hosts. "I mean maybe it is anecdotal for people saying they are looking at these crowds and looking for yard signs but you don't feel the level of energy they had before."

"I think his own base is exhausted and I think the whole country is exhausted," he elaborated. "But the people who want to vote them out, who have been against him all along, and the people who have come to understand his true evil, those people are motivated to get out."

He added, "The other people sick of him are his own people and it's like, ''Alright, I don't want to go to another rally. Do I really want –– do I have to get up on election day? How many envelopes do I have to –– these envelopes are bad; I'm not going to vote."
