else that s going on in the world, that would be just another cause for deep concern? yeah, i mean, you could call it the icing on the cake or also, just sort of a symptom of the larger problem, right? one of the things that is happening now is that hillary clinton and the democratic party had twice as much money on hand as republicans and donald trump, heading into this last final month before election day. by any way you measure it, that is not helpful. and if you look at actually how they re spending their money, you also see that the democrats have a huge advantage, especially on the ground and in the air, so hillary clinton s campaign spent $66 million last month, just on ads. that was three times as much as donald trump. she has 815 paid staff. she had 168. so the numbers really show the huge difference in infrastructure. right. so matea, let me ask you the obvious sort of question, right? donald trump has had a horrific three weeks, just horrific, by
donald, how do i get this stuff away. how does he do that and can he do it? i think the biggest thing he s going to have to do to restore his brand is handle election night with some dignity and some grace. that could be the beginning of the rehab, if you will. i think he s hearing a lot from his children, that dad, we ve got to get this back on track, we ve got to go you know, we re hurting right now. but that s where i would start. anita, i agree. i think he s going to do he set up a surprise, because i think he s smart enough to know he needs a reboot and i think he s going to be gracious on election night and go from there. let s say he does. and let s say the mantle is handed to hillary at that point, on a non-conspiracy level, on a typical peaceful passage of power, what would be her first key things in her first 100 days during the transition? well, i think for hillary clinton, if she s elected president, a key thing for her would be to very early on in her transition,
values. lacking that core. remembering where they come from. so that certainly helped. i was in the army, you know, no knock on the air force branch the best possible branch hey come on. you want close air support you need to call in the a-10. that s true. 40 years ago, 50% of congress was military veterans. that s changed. it s now one in five. those returning home from afghanistan and many are running for office, fortunately, and that s a good thing for us. congresswoman mcsally, as we said, you served from arizona, you represent a district in tucson. obviously, immigration a big issue there. in the wake of president obama s executive order, how do you think republicans should handle the immigration issue? should it be all about tougher enforcement or should there be an effort to find some path towards legalization? i think we need to address the root causes and do first
listening again to his sort of left wing base on this issue rather than to where the american people are, who are overwhelmingly supportive of the project. and where there s a fairly bigbie partisan support in the congress. so, we ll see. i mean, i think we re going to get an indication of how this president wants to govern over the last two years and how he wants to work with republicans in congress. this will certainly be a way in which we can measure where he s going to come down. senator thune, senator corker, thank you both so much for coming in today. thanks for joining us. we ll be following you during the new year. sounds good. thanks, chris. up next, 2015 has just begun but some people are already talking about 2016 as the presidential field starts to take shape. our sunday group joins that conversation. plus, what would you like to ask the panel about the run for the white house? just go to facebook or twitter @foxnewssunday and we
funding for the department that protects our homeland? and how will senate republicans handle someone like ted cruz who may take a harder line and in the past has been willing to stand on principle and shut down the government over that? right. we re not going to shut the government down including the department of homeland security? well, including that. that funding bill expires at the end of february. we recognize it s important we fund the government. now that we re in the majority, we have the responsibility to do that. we re also going to use the power of the purse which is what the constitution gives the congress as a mechanism by which to challenge the president on issues where we think he s overstepped his authority. what he did on immigration is clearly an example of that. he said on 22 different occasions that he didn t have the legal or constitutional authority to do this. and he did it anyway. that needs to be challenged. we will look for any opportunity to do that
