congress on the things which there s executive authority or the president has dominance authority in foreign affairs. the more it looks like he s the victim here, the better off he is but he s got to be responsible reasonable victim and not merely a counterpuncher which is difficult for him to e restrain himself from doing. paul: you see democrats starting left, the first one in elizabeth warren, senator from massachusetts, what do you think of her prospects? she s got high name, we will have a serious of 6 primaries this year and she s going to probably farewell in those virtual primaries, the first primary is for talent, early strike there by hiring bernie sanders hiring to work for her, message on billionaire s
support, on almost every issue, he s reverted to trying to keep his base, to keep his core supporters with him. capitulating without getting significant money for the wall could be seen as eroding that. the president hasn t taken many personal swipes at nancy pelosi. i wonder why that is? this is a president that we have reported on time and again is an equal opportunity counterpuncher. and pelosi hasn t been holding back. the president thinks that nancea pelosi by all accounts is a fairly sharp and shrewd operator. he knew her before he came to the white house. the other thing to remember is nancy pelosi has tried to rein in some of her more liberal members about impeachment. she was on an interview where she said i don t think we should do impeachment for the sake. we should have a lot more facts. and you have a lot more folks on the left who would rather go after the president fairly fulsomely as they take office. so the difference in some ways is the president sees nancy
flake. doesn t appear that mitt romneysy going to take the same track that jeff flake did. we ll wait and see. i don t think any of this is surprising. mitt romney is a very traditional republican. donald trump is always a counter puncher. jeff flake talked a big game but didn t vote that way. we ll see what mitt romney does. trace: capri, kristin, both of you, thank you so much. thank you. trace: trouble from north korea s kim jong-un as 1 of his top diplomats goes into hiding. and a former marine held prisoner in russia. his lawyer speeding to the media and the plan to free him. and we re down again below 600 pounds. we rallied a little bit. it was above 500. now dropping below 600.
liar. i don t think he tells the truth. reporter: is trump immoral in your view? i think he is. now the president firing back, claiming mcchrystal got fired like a dog by obama. last assignment a total bust. known for big, dumb mouth. hillary lover. we should be clear that mcchrystal was not fired. this is a president who touts his love and respect for the military and yet he makes comments like these. clearly donald trump is a fan of people who are donald trump fans. that s no surprise. folks talk about how donald trump is a counterpuncher. he never misses a chance to punch below his weight. dave? it s deplorable, reckless and unbecoming of a president of the
voters that he s focusing on her. i think a lot of democrats evening if they don t like her policies they view her as an effective counter puncher and would be good on a debate stage in attacking donald trump and that she has the fortitude to have a good brand for 2020. everyone knows who she stands for, what she stands for in terms of being a consumer advocate, the other candidates like kamala harris and gillibrand, their brands are much less defined. speaking of those brands, what about the other side? we already got a preview of the rnc s attack line because they said in a statement about her candidacy, quote, senator warren couldn t be more out of touch. with her lack of support from voters, now that she is running, americans will see her for what she is. another extreme far left obstructionist and a fraud. this is a shorter version of what they said but do you think
