my best guess on that, which probably isn t worth a great deal is, you know, absent some other event, he would stay probably into next year. i mean, a respectful amount of time. he took office in february, so you can do the math there. beyond that, tillerson has had a really rough go of it. he has had a rough go at the state department itself and certainly within the administration. he speaks for mainstream republican foreign policy, that while that should be no surprise to anyone, has not fit well with some of what the president wanted to do and some of what his advisers want to do. and tillerson doesn t like being told what to do by people he considers to be junior to him. and he hasn t always, apparently, liked being directed by the president either. you can see that each would
spicer and the press corps, but will scaramucci change that? well, that s the kind of sentiment we heard from scaramucci yesterday that he wanted some sort of detente with the media, he actually said the words de-escalate, that s the kind of thing he wanted. but at the same time there s a fear that scaramucci is cut from the same cloth as president trump that he could amplify trump s worst impulses when it comes to chaotic messaging strategy, when it comes to straying off topic, drawing attention back to his negative simply because he can t let a false charge or an unfair charge lie. those are the kinds of things that i think sean spicer in some of the more traditional press aides who come from a more traditional political background have tried to do to stop that kind of behavior, to try to add some more traditional conventional structure to the messaging strategy. and that hasn t always worked. and in fact it s sometimes backfired when they tried to say something that then the presi
occasional phone calls. while we re underway, there s no skype, facetime, anything like that. it s very challenging. reporter: the ship runs like a small town powered by twin nuclear reactors. with a crew of 5,000 on board, there s always activity. with launches during the day and with infrared lighting at night. by the time the deployment is over, the military says the pilots on boards will have dropped more than a million pounds of bombs in iraq and syria. at the end of the day we need to make sure we re putting bombs in correct positions to take out isis. reporter: that hasn t always happened. the pentagon has been dogged by accusations that its air strikes have killed hundreds of innocent civilian since the campaign began three years ago. one monitoring group says the number is well over a thousand. the u.s. military maintains that it takes extra ordinary measures to mitigate the loss of civilian life.

garrett haake says the romney campaign is hoping this will somehow blow over. what are the chances? well, they can dare to hope. i think this is going to be one that will take a little longer than day or two to blow over. that has been their strategy at times in the past and hasn t always worked, but i don t think we ve seen an incident that s reverberated as much as this one has. we see them proceeding. he s going to make public remarks later today going on tv. he hasn ter altered his campaig schedule. this is not what they wanted to talk about this week. they wanted to release new ads and talk about the new details on some of the policies. that s out the window at least for now. he s supposed to talk with fox news a little later, perhaps seen as a more friendly territory if we can gang thiuges that way these days. one of the reasons it won t go
