Likes of which waesh washington has rarely seen. The president ial candidate trying to put together the pieces of a fractured party. Hes built buildings and golf courses, resorts and enormous wealth. Today donald trump came to washington to build bridges with republicans. Especially House Speaker paul ryan. We agree on a lot of different items. And were getting there. I feel very strongly about border security. I feel very strongly about trade. I feel very strongly about building up the military and to a large extent, i think paul is there also. Trump arrived in the Nations Capital amid deep suspicions of his intentions. Ryan was particularly offended by trumps plan to ban muslims from entering the country. But after trump softened his stance in the hours preceding his reason. Ryan found reason to be optimistic. I was very encouraged from what i heard from donald trump today. I do believe that we are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified to bridge the gaps and differences. Ev

Well check in with our colleague kasie hunt because its the bernie folks who have an impact on how the guests are greeted on that stage. We saw what Sara Silverman had to do last night. Kasie hunt has been on the campaign trail with Bernie Sanders for the last year and she was there also today when he was making stops with delegates. Case see, how was he received in asking people, you know what, get behind Hillary Clinton otherwise its going to be a donald Trump Presidency . Well, this floor was raucous last night with bernie supporters and of course we
Those of us who were here in the afternoon i think would notice the signs have changed, the bernie, bernie, bernie chants have dissipated. It seems like the measures undertaken to quell those concerns were successful. Jeffrey lord, what do you well, i must say i found it amusing that al franken thinks that a businessman is not qualified to be president of the United States but a comedian from saturday night live is qualified to be a United States senator from minnesota. I really do think that the Political Class is having a hard time with this for reasons that have nothing necessarily to do with ideology. It is interesting when you juxtapose this to the Republican Convention. Speaker after speaker at that convention was talking about we are all americans and sort of decrying the idea of identity politics. Right. Right. That is the difference. We have had this discussion on one occasion. There is a difference here. Are we going to keep dividing people by race, all of the time, instead o
According to the paper in the spring of 2017, in the middle of a meeting, rosenstein proposed secretly recording the president in an effort apparently to expose chaos of the administration and discredit it. The times says rosenstein talked about recruiting members of the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment and remove the president from office in an internal coup. Rosenstein denied the story but almost nobody in washington seems to believe him. That is not surprising. Rosenstein is not a particularly popular person here. He is a permanent federal bureaucrat, a group working to undermine the president since the inauguration. Two strike against him. But none of it means the story is true.
