angst and they fight. this is a party that controls the presidency and congress. we re going to have a civil war with the president on one side and the majority leader of the senate and the speaker of the house on the other. we haven t seen this before. listening to bannon on hannity tonight the common denominator was senator who s report to mcconnell. does mcconnell realize his amount of exposure? is there any part of him who would take himself out of the game because there could be incalculatable damage to the conference he leads now? that s possible. i think if you listen to bannon and other trump supporters and trump, they think republican senators should work for donald trump. bob corker they think, i don t know what they think, they think he won the state that trump won so he s even supposed to be more loyal to trump than he has been. he s voted for every single one of trump s nomination pnlz he s not one that bowled on a couple of things.
re-election to really speak on their behalf. nice job on bobby mcgee, by the way. jeremy, what s the ratio of republicans who agree with corker yet refuse to say so? hundred to one, 200 to one, 300 to one? and has there been any migration in any of their has courage broken out in any per susceptible way in the last 36 hours? no. not among, brian, republicans who are running for re-election. i mean, there s a handful who have always kind of been willing to criticize the president, but for the most part the ones that you ve seen who have really come out hard against him are people like bob corker who are enincouple berd by the bonds of re-election and you have people like john mccain who have always kind of been out there against him. and it s not clear to me that anything short of a stoelgts implosion by president trump, a
calling his own president a moron which there is a serious argument about that, if you look at senator corker, this is the key person in the senate dealing with this issue. so, how could there be magic that we don t know about that will take us off the paths of war? i think at the end of the day we are headed inescape aably without a people out of congress to using a military option to solve a genuine threat to the american people, which i think is going to be a sad outcome. wow, that s breath taking. sue, last word, how much western media does kim jong-un consume, do we think? a lot. i m sure he s pouring over he s watching this right now. he s at least watching. they re pouring over every word that comes out of trump administration and coming out of the united states. very chilling stuff. two of the very best in the business whose opinions we ll continue to count on. sue mi terry, general mccaffery,
not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. i chose the words i stand by those words. when i met with the president a week ago friday, i said, mr. president, i stand by what i ve said. secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. and about the fight with corker and similar battles the president has been in, the washington post spoke to 18 people in the white house, outside advisors included and other trump associates who said the president is increasingly isolated.
should be put aside. this may be a moment where republican senators in congress will wake up and say you know what? if we re going to fight for the future let s at least fight for something we believe in. let s stop trying to bend over backwards for trump and his supporters. we haven t seen that much courage to standing up to trump in public yet. maybe there will be more now. about that building with the dome on it behind you, what s the chance that we come to the end of 2017 without a successful major legislative initiative? i think pretty good chance. i don t think tax reform will make it this year. if roadway moo shows up here in december, that makes it even harder for mcconnell. you have an administration that s not interested in legislative details. you have to be fair to the pop house an establishment republican group who aren t who are operating a pretty stale
