happens to be our nbc news national political reporter. gentlemen, welcome to you both. rick stengel, remember a time when people thought tony blaire was a supplicant? to the president of the united states? you know, president trump is treating netanyahu like he s the governor of a red state trump won by 15 points in 2016 and that he can just snap his fingers and hop to it. and you know what, israel basically is a red state trump won by 10%. he s so much more popular in israel than he is with american jews and he somehow thinks he can translate that popularity in israel to help him get more jewish voters. by the way, he only won 25% of jewish voters. hillary clinton won 75%. he won 5% less than mit romney won. this is not going to endear himself to american jewish
