Difficulty together and now i think we have come a long way, but the answer is yes, he does. So this isnt about some case of stringing him along as revenge being a dish best served cold for the comments he made during the campaign . No. Its not about revenge. Its about whats good for the country. Speaking to nbc there, of course, this morning. With that, lets get to cnns Jessica Schneider live outside trump tower. So trump insisting this morning that he is sincere and still considering mitt romney for secretary of state. What are you hearing . Reporter yeah, right, kate. Donald trump saying hes not in fact stringing mitt romney along but of course, you put that with the fact in the past few days, ever since mitt romney met with donald trump for that second sitdown at the restaurant just a few blocks from trump tower, there have been several additional names floated as potentials for secretary of state. We heard a number of names over the past few days including former utah governor, fo
Tomorrow the president elect will kick off what is apparently going to be a multistate series of Campaign Rallies except theres no more campaign. So maybe its more like a concert tour but without a band . When they first announced plans to do this, people thought maybe that it would be their victory tour . Now they tell us they no longer want us to call it a victory tour. They want us to call it a thank you tour. Okay. Honestly, i dont know what to call it because who knows what this is . In other countries, you have sometimes seen stuff like this. That comparison is not a heartening one. In other countries in other eras of history, strongmen type leaders have liked to hold mass rallies to demonstrate their support among the people and often to intimidate their opposition. Theres no reason to think that that is what president elect trump is starting tomorrow, right . But we honestly do not know what this is for, what it is. Its not apparently about selling a particular idea, trying to
Ill tell you what i think. The only polls that count are the polls the American People go to on november 2nd. In any event, the bottom line is this. The only poll that counts is going to be in november. The only poll that counts is the one theyre going to take on tuesday when they count the votes that these people are going to cast. And were going to win florida. No, youre not going to win in florida, senator. You are not. But that cliche, the only poll that counts is the one in that is most useful in politics as a signpost to tell you who is losing in the polls at that moment. Thats who always says that cliche about the only poll that matters is the poll on election day. But there is some truth to it. Polls in advance of an election only get you so far in terms of telling you exactly what is going on in the country and whats going to happen next in politics. And however you feel about the results of any particular election, one thing i think is always a little bit of a relief about th
1919 . 8,000 miles in 22 days . That was an almost impossible thing that he set out to do. And it didnt work. People in this country didnt like his idea for this league of nations thing. They didnt like that idea before he hit the bricks on an 8,000mile tour to promote it. They didnt like the idea before the tour. They didnt like the idea after the tour either. And worse, the tour itself basically killed him. He started that tour on september 3rd. By october 2nd, the president had collapsed from exhaustion and suffered a serious stroke. It was just a disaster at every level. It went bad in so many different ways. And not all of them fail that seriously, but these things are genuinely known for failing. Like when george w. Bush did it after he was reelected in 2004. After that election, famously george w. Bush decided his First Priority would be to privatize Social Security. He wanted to hand Social Security over to wall street, give everybody a private account. And to convince the coun
Ill convince the people. Ill get them on my side. He set out on a tour in september of that year, 1919, he started a tour and his tour went 8,000 miles in 22 days. And thats one thing if youre like flying around in air force one, right . That can take you to all those miles, but a century ago in 1919 . 8,000 miles in 22 days . That was an almost impossible thing that he set out to do. And it didnt work. People in this country didnt like his idea for this league of nations thing. They didnt like that idea before he hit the bricks on an 8,000mile tour to promote it. They didnt like the idea before the tour. They didnt like the idea after the tour either. And worse, the tour itself basically killed him. He started that tour on september 3rd. By october 2nd, the president had collapsed from exhaustion and suffered a serious stroke.
