election. the question becomes, what is the upside to this strategy for him? you know, i think the upside for him is that this is his comfort zone. he talks about the shackles being off. i think the shackles weren t ever really on in any consistent way. if you look at the last year and a half or so that he has been campaigning in this political realm. also in that way, he has people around him who reinforce this instinct. people like steve bannon and people like roger ailes and people like roger stone, as well. in that way, i think it s good. for the republican party, it s, obvio obviously, really, really bad. in terms of getting voters i think errol was right about paul ryan being a symbol and also a symbol of actual republican voters, right? if you look at what donald trump needs to do, he needs to get those moderate republicans who voted for mitt romney. i was in north carolina a couple weeks ago and i met a lot of republicans who had voted for
and the speculation is that he fled with his mother, and she has not been heard from for two weeks or the father, and neither of them have, and what could happy to her? could she face charges? yes, personally, she should have faced charges when the dui took place, because this youth, the 16-year-old was living in the house unsupervised alone, and so they should have been charged back then. what mom would take their kid on the run? obvio obviously, staying behind and a dealing with the problem is much better than now ruining both of your problems and being on the run. and the reason that the whole story grabbed national headlines back in the day is this so-called affluenza defense. what is this? is it common? is that a defense? no. of course not it is not a defense. and what is it? well, what is it, and the court said or in this particular case, they said that his upbringing and the prif are ledged nature made him not understand the consequences of
white house said they will get a call. maybe not from the president himself, but from one of the senior staff, john kerry, obvio obviously, who was the key person in this, along with energy secretary moniz. having said that, that they re focusing on the arguments and the scientists who said these are more stringent constraints than in any previous deal, they also know when chuck schumer came out on thursday and said he s against the deal, the timing was absolutely not what they wanted because that leaves time for him to influence people before the accept 17th vote. let s take a look at the numbers in the senate. what the president needs is 34 votes. there are still 55 votes in play. and when you look at those numbers. that means he has to hold 19 more people. there really is only one republican who has a chance of siding with the president. that is senator jeff flake. again, the white house as of late last night, still feeling confident they ll have the numbers behind this, but in the
