the panel is here. al cardenas, the former head of the american conservative union. nbc news correspondent katy tur, author of the new book, unbelievable. and doris keernz good win, and david brody. welcome all. doris, i m going to start with you. donald trump what do you see from your historian s eyes that he s up to? it seems to me it all began when things started falling apart over the last eight months. he lost his mojo. he always talks about losers are the worst people in the world, and he was losing. so he had to do something to get it back. he goes to harvey. it seems good for him to be looking empathetic and people feel good about it. then he comes back, and he announces the daca thing. then people get outraged at the idea again, so he loses that positive momentum. then he calls in chuck and nancy, and he makes the deal for the debt flooding to get the flood relief to texas. then he feels good again. whoa, this is feeling good.

maybe he was willing to jump in further than they initially thought. seems like the timing isn t a coincidence. he see this is happening to christie and sees maybe an opening to get his name back in the news. what does it say, too, blake, about the republican party? christie i understood until all of this as a logical candidate for the establishment to try to get the party to rally around but now you re talking about somebody we could talk about the bush baggage just the name itself and somebody who has been out of politics for a long time. i was trying to think of somebody, 2016 will be 14 years since the name jeb bush was last on the ballot. i m trying to think of a president elected with that kind of a gap. i can think of one candidate, paul tsongas in 1992. first, now that doris kearns-goodman has given him the okay to run that changes everything. no, what you re seeing is wall street does not want to see him
last week she tried to walk back her statement. in this country which is such a great country that there are more than three families, but then i read the bully pulpit i think by doris kearns-goodman, and she points out that in 1700, there were only three families. so maybe it s okay. it just seemed to me ridiculous in a country this size that we didn t have other families. if it worked in 1700, so i guess maybe it is okay if there s another bush in the white house. joining me to talk about is blake zith and casey hunt, political reporter and producer here at nbc news. casey, we got into this a little bit in the segment before, but i think one of the questions here obviously is if you re a republican and you re the christie thing looks shaky and saying maybe giving jeb bush a second look, you have to look at
