the ap is reporting that enrique pena nieto is under some steep pressure at home and they are saying, we don t like the way our we are being treated, you ought to consider canceling this. how does that go down on in the west wing? i m think that goes as a possible disappointment in the west wing. you can t blame the mexican president. the steps of the president outlined today, although they are preliminary, they certainly point to a direction, are not going to go to down well with the mexican voters. the president is put in a position where he looks like a wimp if he appears to be acquiescing. so, he puts out orders that he is considering canceling visit. i think he had to do something. and i think this is perhaps a lesson for the trump people that the actions and the statements of the president of the united states affect all the internal policies of the united states and they can also have a profound effect, as well, as the politics of mexico.

the republicans will be with donald trump and sometimes they won t. the leaders are going to be interesting to watch. dana, there will be some moderate democrats, conservative democrats that were up for re-election in two years. there are ten senate democrats up in states where donald trump won. that s kind of remarkable when you think about it. that is why when you were talking earlier about chuck schumer the new democratic leader between challenging donald trump and holding him accountable and acquiescing and having some compromise. it s not just about donald trump it s about his own self-preservation, chuck shumer, because if he loses let s just say half of those ten then they are in a really, really bad place, because right now the democrats sure are in the
including the f.b.i. all conclude the same thing, the russians hacked it, we have seen the evidence, why the reluctance on the part of the president-elect? this could be couched in a broader kind of joe omi a brr kind of geopolitical deal. . president-elect trump has made it clear we have to get tougher with isis and china, and they may believe they need russia to take those other serious goes on. a deal could look something like acquiescing or acknowledging the russian annex of crimea in exchange for taking a harder stand on the iran deal and getting the russian s acquiescence to doing that. i think there could be some
