support for president trump throughout the campaign, which the wall street journal reports began on day one of trump s candida candidacy. with me here at the table, jim o brien, msnbc contribute. and msnbc national affairs journali journalist. and a former aid in the george w. bush white house and phillip bump political reporter for the washington post is here. ken delaney, let me start with you and talk about the potential ripple effects from the revelations that cart page, did tell hope hicks, cory lewandowski, the then campaign manager and jeff sessions, the sitting attorney general who s already wrapped around the axle of his own corrected testimony
it almost ripples with significance. he s a larger than life character. he knows how to own a space. did donald trump do this? was he strategic about his candida candidacy, did he know when he got into it? i wouldn t say that. i would say he was the perfect messenger for those voters at that time, and he embodied it. has he become president trump from being candidate trump in your mind? i think he s the same person. look at this week. he s exactly the same person. his big problem was i might not know everything about policy, but i will know who to hire. i will get the best people for the jobs. and look who he stacked his cabinet with, very wealthy people. people from the banking sector and what we see with secretary price this week, a man who spends what s estimated to be
it is not a lot and i would not be part of this campaign and you know it. it keeps showing up. in arizona it keeps showing up. the first amendment right. you can sound like a fool and hear people sound that way every day. the fact is that in the case of arizona, i checked the with the head of security and he plus the guys on the ground in arizona tell me they removed that protester. i didn t hear that covered in the news or whatever he is saying idiotic things that do not reflect the campaign or the candida candidacy. donald trump said he will be the president of all people and even those who don t agree with him. with the outbursts like. that. i think she is corrupt and lied
frankly, being frightened about casting their vote for donald trump. it really sends a message about the confidence that republicans have in donald trump right now. and that s where this becomes difficult for him. because they re not sending a vote of confidence for his candidate a candida candidacy. for the republican party it could be beneficial, if the money goes to congressional races where republicans are performing well, it could save the congress. separating themselves from donald trump? right. and so that s where this could actually be beneficial to the party, even if the nominee struggles as a result of it. all right. thanks so much to both of you, appreciate it. thank you. the white house says russia is trying to undermine u.s. elections in a series of hack attacks. still ahead, we ll ask if the russians could tamper with the actual vote. that is now just 24 days away. we ll be right back. boost it s about moving forward not back.
