you ll remember on the campaign trail he sort of eluded to the idea that ted cruz s father had something to do with the assassination of jfk. fred? all right, boris sanchez, thank you so much. all right, let s talk more about so much on the plate right now to cnn political analysts with me, julian seletzer and new york times deputy culture editor. good to see you both. you first, scathing words from steve bannon. who best represents the gop as it stands now? is it the former chief strategist steve bannon, or the former president, george w. bush? well, i think given that donald trump is in the white house, president trump is the face of the republican party right now. and you can t claim to not be part of the establishment when you re in the oval office. so i think in many ways bannon, president trump, they are the new face, and they continue in many ways attacks that have been going on since the primaries
re-elected in 2020. any suggestion otherwise is both laughable and absurd. let s bring in two cnn political analysts to talk more about all of this. a historian can and professor at princeton university and the deputy culture editor at the new york times. good to see you both this sunday. patrick, you first. the new york times reports that multiple advisers to the vice president say that mike pence would run if trump does not, and it did not take long before we saw a written statement with the white house from the vice president s office. what are your thoughts why the vice president so quickly responded in this manner? i think being out of line of loyalty in the trump white house is seen by the president as a real sin. i think vice president pence was reacting very much sort of to that kind of going on the offensive against an article. the problem is, that the reporting by john thien narepor

times deputy culture editor. stephen, you first. is it advantageous that any of the three remaining contenders would throw their support behind macron when he is up against le pen? we know already one has thrown his endorsement behind macron, but is that advantageous when we re looking at two who are considered outsiders, nonestablishment candidates? i think what you would expect to see is the establishment center right and center left parties in france to throw their support behind macron in a way trying to sort of amass forces against le pen. francois fillon one of the candidates who was once seen as a front-runner but got derailed by scandal has already done that. that s what you normally see in the second round of a french election. that s what happened in 2002 when chirac defeated marine le
