more nuance than we heard on the campaign trail. i liked what i heard on the campaign trail about this a lot more than i like what they are talking about now. but i do think that donald trump has a pretty you know, he still lacks a big victory on taxes, obamacare, obviously. on the executive action thing, he s been pretty good about keeping his word to his supporters, whether it s on trade, the environment, immigration, he s been pretty good about pushing through, sticking to the most controversial promises. so i still sort of have a wait-and-see attitude about whether he eventually does tear this thing up. i mean, the tough part is it is two separate tracks. it s iran, the terrorist sponsor, i ran the stir up trouble in the region. but this nuclear deal is a different deal. it seems like a stretch. it does. the administration has

there s political instability. they have taken america strong leadership for granted. nas that is no longer the case. whether it s on security, whether it s on trade or the environment, there s a feeling that america is a little bit adrift. i m worried about that broader context in addition to all the day to day noise of what s happening in washington on the russia investigation. i certainly don t disagree with you because when i travel, that s what i m hearing from people who are not normally, you know, in the political space. isn t it partly because the president s nato speech was given to the surprise of his secretary of state, his national security advisor, his defense secretary? he left out article 5, colle collective support for the alliance, tradition and commitment. then in the middle east, he makes commitments and then comes back and goes completely against a u.s. military ally, qatar, siding with the saudis.
as you said, he s got to be on the hill and try to navigate these very difficult legislative actions that he wants to take, whether it s obamacare, whether it s on trade. i think democrats i mean what chuck schumer is facing is people outside of his house wielding signs that say, chuck, grow us fine, chickens. these are his friends. his constituents. so that s what he s dealing with and that sort of protest movement. progressives are calling it the resistance. that s what s coming obviously to the hill as well with democrats trying to channel that. listen. they re in the minority, so they re in a difficult spot trying to balance these two things. so in some ways the beginning of what kellyanne conway is saying, there s some truth to that. we saw it in the women s march and the travel ban. they want the democrats to stop some of this and the democrats
down from any kind of fight. i think she s proven that over the years. she always comes out on top. she is as tested as you get. i find there is no one who is better tested whether in foreign hot spots or here in tough races at home. she ll come out on top. i m going to do everything i can. in fact, next week i ll be in new hampshire trying to make sure that we pull out as many people to be there for secretary clinton, not just early but often. why is she increasingly distancing herself from president obama on several sensitive issues? i wouldn t classify it as distancing herself, wolf. i think she is telling you who she would be as president, which is what everyone expects, right? we want to know who you will be he when you become the next president of the united states. tell us where you stand, whether it s on trade, whether it s on war, whether it s on education or health care. tell us where you are, not where you were when you were working for someone who is very important, not
