you don t treat human beings like that. trump s supposed to be mr. religious fellow, and i thought we had to treat the least of these as we would treat the lord. so i hope he would reconnect with some of his conservative evangelicals and they ll hello him that these are human beings and they re chdren of god and they should be treated that way needless to say there is a t more to my interview with governor brown and we spoke about where the discussion went and where he s willing to work for the president and his advice for mr. trump since he governs more people than any other democrat. of course, the health care implosion on friday meant we didn t have as much time as we wanted to have with him and all of this is on our website, meet the press.com and we ll have much more with governor brown on meet the press daily. you know where to find that, on msnbc. not one, but two politically not one, but two politically devastating gut punches this
own west wing staff? there s been any of that? is rips priebus the president needs to ask director comey if anyone in the white house is under investigation because they have to be separated out and tom is beyond pence. i don t think the problem is ideologues and i think the problem is lack of experience on capitol hill. for the president it s, you know, he doesn t understand the policy details. for paul ryan, i think it s been the story of this that s been undertold is he didn t sell this well. he didn t talk to journalists beforehand or the policy community, and i think that was
