Good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. I will admit that there have been moments in the past when it sure seemed like donald trump was on his last legs politically. The campaign 2015 when he attack ed saying that he likes people that were not captured or the aftermath of the access Hollywood Tape four years ago.
