Tom Brokaw had it exactly right this morning while discussing the appeal of Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy among Republican voters.

The time for “bombast” is over, said the veteran NBC-TV newsman during a discussion on “Meet the Press.” Trump needs to provide detail, he said.

For example, according to Brokaw, Trump needs to explain specifically how much it’s going to cost the country to deport 11 million illegal immigrants.

Then he said that as a successful real estate mogul, “He’d throw someone out of his office” if an individual came to him with a great real estate deal — but had no numbers to back it up.

Republican voters, Brokaw believes, might be ready to demand that Trump “show us the money.”
