aid from the west, but should not be brought to the u.s. chris, does his 48 hours in the middle east solve ben carson s commander in chief issues? i don t think it solves it but i think it probably helps. i think it was wise for him to go there, to be seen there as the video you justshowed. and of course the remedy he should get is one that is likely to be popular among republican primary voters. that is, don t bring them here but help them there. which now he can say that he came to that conclusion by virtue of his visit there. but it happens also to be a politically convenient position to take. probably helps a bit, yeah. congresswoman harman, fair so toy that you are a longtime democrat. if the world stage, world situation, as ugly as it is, and the threat of isis, the threat of isis spreading and the civil war in syria continuing, what impact does that have on hillary clinton as a political candidate? will her foreign policy credentials, will her ties to
than that because this figures in the republican presidential campaign because marco rubio and ted cruz are competing for some of the same voters and one of rubio s talking points reflected by the sound bite that you showed is that cruz voted to end this program, so you have that factor added in to all of this, as well. my sense about it is that we never did have a victim that came forward, or was ever shown that there was one, of this program, and intelligence professionals such as mike hayden former director former cia director have insisted again and again that it was very useful and helpful so i think it s fair to say a great many intelligence officials think we re now without an effective tool for anticipating this terror attacks. let me ask an intelligence professional congresswoman harmon you were the former top democrat on the house intelligence committee when you were in congress. did you ever see evidence that the nsa abused its powers in collecting american phone
go long. of course, how you plan is up to you. take healthcare. make sure you re covered for more than what just medicare pays. consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. you might give this a try. the only medicare supplement plans that carry the aarp name, and the ones that millions of people trust year after year. plan well. enjoy life. go long. welcome back. a new ad in iowa and new hampshire going after donald trump now, using trump s own words to portray him as less than presidential. but the source of the ad, not a democrat, but a super pac supporting ohio governor john kasich. all part of a new effort from some republican donors to go after donald trump and keep the party s presidential front-runner from winning the nomination. we re with our panel today. ed rollins, doug high and hank
much, but you re an independent, can t run as an independent, have to run as one of the parties, democrat or republican. hank, how do you see it? trump is very important because for the democrats, they want him to stay there as long as he)ñ)!p can, he s divisive, rhetoric is too hot, and it is creates all kinds of problems for the republicans. and they like him to stay there. the republicans want him gone. why? calm the thing down. party elders want to have some control over this as they always do. who is emerging as the leader away from trump? right now, we have seen an iowa polling that suggests ted iowa polling that sugges s ted which shouldn t be surprising. as carson voters have gone away, they largely have gone to cruz. certainly would be possible with trump as well, if he were to falter. that s one of the things about iowa. you can make a lot of headlines, but you vu to organize on the ground, get people to show up and stay at the caucus sites. only ones that have a
to defeat isis? not surprising at all. not a good strategy. whether the person occupying the oval office is a republican or a democrat, the proper move today would probably be to much more broad brushed, broad strokes, have meetings, talk about conferences, getting people together, creating some kind of an alliance with all of our people in one place. we recently had a soviet airplane taken down by turks part of the part of nato. what is his plan? getting everybody in one place and creating an alliance to fight isis and to begin talking about that would be smart. why is he not he doesn t have to lead the alliance anymore. he s lost his leadership position. that s significant. u.s. president always been the leader of putting these coalitions together. that s what i m saying. he s lost that position, it is time to try to reassert american strength. why is he doing this, doug? why is he so adamant about even the refugee issue, without even taking five minutes to look at it.
