is a nightmare. for her,itis going to be easier. she may have the easiest time raising money of any running incumbent including george bush and president obama. within the media, already right now, clinton exhaustion from covering the early stages of not even a campaign yet? i think it s one of the clinton campaign s use neek challenges they have to face. there is a fresh core out there, particularly one that mark and i have been a member of for 25 years that covered the clinton s for their entire existence on the national political stage. so that, you know, you are only human as a reporter. i remind friends like nicole, we reporters are also human beings, too. you react in human ways. when you have covered the same group of people 25 years, there is going to be that. that is going to be an
library and have success. on immigration, this has gone from being, you know, what i think at one point for a long time was the greatest legislative failure of both parties of congress to the most grave humanitarian crisis in the country. we have tens of thousands of children living in government detention centers. we bring people on this show all the time to talk about refugee crises and we have one in this country and they are children. he is not to blame completely for the fact we are where we are. but, you certainly wish that we had leaders in both parties who could go down to the border. i went to the border with george w. bush a dozen times and bring the focus on the humanitarian tragedy and try to lead our way out of this whether it s executive action or limited legislative action. john boehner is saying
coming apart. how difficult is it in terms of the history and the now that we seem to have a republican party. sorry, nicole, intent on not governing, not governing? you know, i think now is different from history. it s so different from george w. bush, for example, had a completely different view of the immigration crisis than today s republican party does and especially the republicans in congress. george w. bush understood, he was a compassionate conservative and had a totally different mind set about it than the one today. i can see why the president would be really frustrated because, you know, congress doesn t want to do anything. i think nicole is right. i think the president is going to have to act. it is a humanitarian crisis. i guess the only thing i would
think i would treat a poll like this with a very long stick and gloves, whatever the image would be. our friend michael has a good rule, it s really impossible to judge a president historically until 20 to 25 years later. i know nicole s old boss, president bush, george w. bush, it s going to take a while for historians to figure it out. truman left with a poor rating. now every politician wants to be harry truman. the confidence number is interesting. i think trying to rate president obama historically is probably a end at the moment.
nobody knows president george h.w. bush better than meacham and now he s among people s favorite president. or george w. bush, his numbers have gone up as well. coming up, defiant in defeat. the u.s. goes down in brazil. highlights are next. you know something is not quite right when serena williams is unable to serve or catch a ball. why the 17 time grand slam winner had to withdrawal from the match at wimbledon. that s painful to watch.
