real questions and real confusion. the word buffoonery was used for me inside the transition, because it s not clear who s in charge. you have steve bannon and jared kushner with a senior advisory role and a lot of chiefs and not many indians, in terms of making those key policy decisions. so people inside the campaign talking about that as a real problem right now. you d imagine that for at least some of trump s supporters, they would have little patience in him picking any kind of establishment type. it certainly kind of runs counter to the whole idea of change and draining the swamp. no question. and it s pretty interesting to watch, just how quickly you ve had a pullback, not only on those appointments, but also, you know, some of these positions. you have donald trump saying, maybe there are parts of obamacare that he might keep. you have obama saying today in his press conference that when he spoke to donald trump, that donald trump said he would remain committed to the nat
up short. now with the supreme court, what are the ramifications? how is donald trump going to govern? liberals didn t like it when he became president in 1980. he brought in don regan and james baker. these were establishment type of republicans. liberals didn t like the policies but they realized they were experts in the field. donald trump doesn t have a long attention span, doesn t care about details with policies. he s talking about having rudy giuliani and newt gingrich making up the core of his cabinet. they are not great counters to the deficits that donald trump has. david, you re raising the question will he form a cabinet and bureaucracy in his own image. or will he work with the existing public establishment in washington and actually accept some of their recommendations on
the dangers of hillary clinton. this is what he writes. the dangers of a hillary clinton presidency are more familiar than trump s authority yarians unknown because we live with them in our politics already. they re the dangers of elite group think of beltway power worship, of a cult of presidential action in the service of dubious ideals. almost every crisis that s come upon the west in the last 15 years has its roots in this establishment type of folly. the iraq war, likewise the financial crisis, one can look at trump himself and see too many danger of still deeper disaster, too much temperamental risk to be an acceptable alternative to this blunder ridden status quo while also looking at hillary clinton and seeing a woman whose record embodies the tendencies that gave rise to trumpism in the first place. can anyone explain what those tendencies are? because i don t think it s just her. i think it s washington.
one to win two of three. typically, it is the iowa winner versus the new hampshire winner going into a bloodbath war in south carolina and whoever grabs it, generally, 100% of the time has become the nominee. now we might, we might see a shuffling of the deck. you might have a bush campaign or rubio campaign break through in florida, if they don t win iowa or new hampshire but right now, it looks like if you just study the specifics of what the states kind of typically do in terms of organization is more important in iowa, media is more important in new hampshire, looks like cruz will sail to victory in iowa. it looks like in new hampshire you re going to have a trump or christie or more establishment type if trump doesn t take it. that will go to really strong battle in south carolina. by the time you get to florida in the later states and now what the rubio campaign is talking about i think it is too late. abby: marjorie, bush donors have to be stunned at this point. we re a month ou
differently? i think it s great news for wolf that the focus was set to be national security because otherwise he would be wondering how do i shoehorn into an economic debate conversation about donald trump s plan to keep muslims out of the united states. that s going to be the focal point and the quandary for some of the candidates on the stage is that 50% of republicans agree with him. 50% disagree. if you re an establishment type you re not getting the 50% wiho agree with the donald on the issue. try to coalesce the establishment vote around yourself. reporter: how bold do you want to be, be the one up there who says, have you no shame? no, not on this. people are afraid and they have a right to be afraid. i think they re overreacting. when you get angry, your brain shuts down. you fight fear with facts. not simply by denigrating trump. his ideas are nonsensical and
