shouldn t you and other conservatives and constituents and people around him shouldn t they be saying that to the president of the united states. he has the mega phone. he sets the agenda, the message, it s not really those people going home they re just going to hear from their constituent the. i hopehe s peopl in the white house telling h to stop tweeting abo russia, tweet about your agenda, tweet about what you plan to accomplish on this foreign trip, for us to reaffirm our unity with our allall allies abroad. he s 70 years old is he going to change? sweet heart i got a little bit of experience with men let me tell you you don t change them, you really don t change men after 15 no matter what you do. they have formative years and they re very short so you can
where you are indeed shaping public opinion. this is quite different than the sort of regular tit for tat or if someone make as controversial statement or says something news worthy and other people cover it or nay not cover it. this is something completely different. go on. and to that point, the sort of hyperpartisan nature of the national conversation right now the way that donald trump has fake news and media outlets you can t trust. and to sort of discount any argument against him shouldn t be listened to or can t be trusted even if that issue might be very real accusations of
it s a challenge for the staff and a particular challenge the president is blind-siding people who work for him right now. that will be a challenge. you want him to understand how he doesn t like to be blind-sided and the people who work for him shouldn t be. if it s a policy decision he shouldn t tweet it unless it s been fully vetted by the policy experts that he has leaned on to advise him. once a policy decision is made, talk about it. bill: it is clear from yesterday that lawmakers are going to have to figure out how to react to this. and we saw the pivot immediately yesterday. that s a whole new world, andy. i believe he was causing a pivot that the speaker wanted. so i think paul ryan recognized that it was a flawed move by the republican caucus to do
we can t really tell. i wrote an article on monday about how rand paul and the media have no love story. then this week we re seeing that confirmed over and over again in all of these interviews. now, on one hand like you said there are his supporters who are probably really love this idea of him bashing the media. david from the atlantic had a great point. we re still talking about him shouldn t we be on to something else? from all of my reporting, this is who rand paul is. in a private setting with reporters, he just doesn t have the patience for them. this sometimes also lends itself to other aspects of campaigning. you know, he said that campaigning for president is absolutely no fun. i ve heard from people where he ll walk into a room to give a speech. he ll give a speech and leave. he doesn t work the room or do the rope line that a lot of candidates seem to genuinely enjoy. you are nodding at that. i had an experience with him just like that back in the last
this characterization of him shouldn t come as a surprise. this is more from gates on the today show this morning. take a listen. i don t vilify anybody. i make clear that i have a lot of respect for both president bush and president obama and just like on afghanistan, i think that what has been lost in the news media is that i actually agreed with virtually every decision president obama made on afghanistan. again, we should note for viewers he s wearing a neck brace as a result of a previous accident. he fell on a hallway rug apparently according to a report in the washington post today. i read that. that was one heck of a fall. you get through afghanistan then the rug gets you. what he just said about folks are taking away from the book, is that an accurate characterization? personally, i find that to be correct. it s a common theme, executive branch members, leaving washington with a lot of rancor
