test is clearly likely, but you don t hear a lot of american officials saying a lot about it, that is a concerted strategy. the other thing to try to apply leverage on china. many past american presidents have tried it unsuccessfully. trump is framing his conversations with president xi as productive on that front and leading it as a challenge to china. are you going to follow through or not. hey, michael, we heard yesterday from press secretary sean spicer, once again intimating that the united states is not going to be policeman of the world. we look at what s happening in syria, we look at the threats against north korea, what happened to america first? everybody s looking for it. you know, under the couch cushions and, you know, in the trunk of the car. i mean it seems to have vanished as far as it goes for foreign policy and it s really difficult to explain. i think, look, there are a
manhattan and never really engage with this stuff in any detail besides what you see on tv. the combination of the team coming in and trump having this education/accountability as president, has sort of drawn him into the foreign policy mainstream that frankly he really campaigned against. so the sort of foreign policy establishment is generally pretty happy about this but i would think a lot of his supporters, ones that thought he would usher in this dramatic break in american foreign policy must be feeling betrayed by him right now. we ll leave it there, michael, thank you. ann, thank you. hally and andrea, big thanks to both of you as well. turning now to a story that continues to spark a whole heck of a lot of outrage today. the fallout over that dramatic video of a passenger being dragged from a united plane because the airline needed those seats for crew members. that s today s microsoft pulse question of the day. should airlines should they
from bill clinton or have a fund-raiser has a lot of explaining to do. in fact, i think they should give the money back. man. joining me now is michael crawly, molly ball and political economist for yahoo! news. michael, i ll start with you. it s almost hard not to view these comments. he wants to be the 2016 nominee. hillary clinton may be the democratic nominee. i hate to reduce it all to politics and rand paul is a guy that doesn t play by normal political rules. he says things in politics that other people don t. but this would also be consistent to say something new and different. but i think that to most other americans it s kind of bewildering. why are you talking about this now? there was a feeling that republicans were beating a dead horse even at the time when we reached the impeachment. it really does look like a base play to me. what do you think in what do
saying he can t keep waiting for hillary to make her decision, this is what is going to put pressure on her is the fact that the party needs someone to keep running. we have seen key obama aides, including jim mecina. so president obama has not endorsed and he probably almost definitely will not make a choice but it seems as though the team is starting to head that way. but molly, matt, michael, thank you. appreciate it. coming up next, he confessed to a double murder even though he did not do it and now after two decades in prison he s finally out and telling his story. plus, he was hailed as a modern day beethoven, so popular. but now the musician is being called a fake by the man who actually wrote the music.
left chris christie off the list of what he calls conservative governors. it s not the first time christie has been invited to the party. the gom is firing back let by mitch mcconnell who opened fire on ted cruz party in the wall street journal. in an interview. mcconnell blasts extremists for both their views and tactics and says, quote, the most important election was not the governor of new jersey or the governor of virginia, it was the special election for congress in south alabama. where the candidate said the shut down was a great idea the president was born in enia and he opposed speaker boehner, came in second. ron reagan is an msnbc political analyst and former talk radio host. michael, a naive question, why didn t rick perry reference chris christie, what is going on
