he s under 13 investigations. he may have committed crimes. that s right. but the point is that is the trade that the party is making i m sorry, the republican party sucks but you can still find noncriminal republicans. absolutely you can. maybe. no, i think you can. but this is what s happening. the other thing is that i think trump kept pruitt around not only because he distracted the media and the democrats, but because, i come back to the topic of desensitization. you hear every week something new pruitt was doing. after awhile a certain portion of the population, especially among trump s base is going to start to say, you know what, again, going back to the trade, does it matter so much as long as we get what we want, can t we just allow pruitt and trump and these others to get what they want? that s the trade. that s what s happening here. that s the path we re being led down. frank, jump in here on what we were commenting about jim jordan. the president and his fri
that the president in doing this is attacking a symbol of republican past. i would say, one the republicans should be proud of. the democratic president awarded him the medal of freedom. he is held in high regard by both parties. here attacked other republicans who used to be held in high regard before. he attacked mccain last night and mitt romney, the nominee once upon a time. they garnered tremendous support, but to attack a former republican president that way is something different. what i think we need to watch is what the reaction of his base is. if you watch that clip again, you will notice that the crowd doesn t really give him the same applause it normally does. overtime i think that trump will want to disassociate the party from its past leader that is it
i love it when you do that. this president looks at disassociating the path for himself. bringing in the bush party. they did not support him in 2016, but also he sees it as branding. that to me is the base instinct. make america great again. the slogan is not at goes. last word to you, kimberly. jonathan is right. the biggest thing here is that the bushes did not support trump. trump remembers that lack of support where as you have seen bill clinton and george h.w. bush sit with george w. bush. you won t see that sort of respect given from one president to another. i saw melania trump sit with the former presidents and looked very happy. don t go anywhere. we ll be right back.
cannot believe gop once the party that stood strong against de voests is now surrendering to putin and the kremlin. only two years after russia interfered in the u.s. election. has donald trump sort of high jacking the republican party started to bear fruit? we know it s complete, obvious from the meetings. is it starting to bear fruit that they re sort of there in the preadvance trip, saying all the right things, the russian media comes out, and reads something totally different from what the members say, because there s no american media, there s no recording, no witness to what s actually happened, is this the prelude to the trump summit in helsinki? i think the president is looking for some kind of realignment where he s trying to convince the republican party and americans more broadly that russia and vladimir putin are not the boogie man. they are potentially allies and friends. at the same time he s been saying that allies and friends, eu, canada, mexico and others are in some
respected, even reagan. he doll that to complete his taking control of the party and that will be a scary thing. it s something to watch. he is not quite there yet, but moving in that direction. this is where he outfoxes fox. the 41st president was close for a period of years with rogera y ales. trump is grosser than his closest allies in the far right media. that s right. is there any reason to suspect they won t go with him? i will be surprised if shaun hannity defends the attacks on the 41st president s charity. he will probably let it go. it s a call to service. that s what the thousand points of light is. let us know where you stand, shaun. tweet me, text me. air another clip tonight.
