got to separate it a lot of this was theater and donald trump trying to strike a more diplomatic tone and show people that he can hold sway with world leaders and talk about important themes. and terms of relaunching his campaign in terms of trying to put that image in front of americans, we had this dispute about who said what in terms of paying for the great wall. i think the jury is still out on whether this will help them with voters other than his hard-core base. what about the meeting with the mexican president? it was controversial in mexico. they were saying that this is something that went against what and theyould be about should be saying they are against these kind of policies. it's interesting to see whether he has grabbed extra voters after his speech in arizona last night with is the opposite of mexicociliatory tone in and doubled down the policies that can be described as mass deportation of them -- of illegal immigrants in this country and building that wall. mark: he did not back away from a pledge to keep illegal aliens. how much will it cost and how much effort will it take to achieve that? if you ballpark the cost to embark on such a project of the over 10 million estimated undocumented immigrants in this country is something no one can quantify. we don't have the research or the infrastructure or a system in place embark on a project of anything similar to that. in terms of building a wall come to think about how you would put it in place and get that through congress to make that happen, there's no question these policies are popular with his core base. it's something he continues to gain traction with but the reality is something that is in the distant future. his rhetoric last night destiny hopes of those republicans who wanted him to adopt a more gentler tone. those waiting for the donald trump pivot, will they be waiting a long time? will always be donald trump. when we think he moves in one direction as in this unexpected visit to mexico, he always comes back to the core of his campaign and that is him with fiery rhetoric and the things that made him win the primary and brought him to where he is. he has failed to show he can pick up numbers beyond the high 30's in terms of attracting voters to his side and at acting independents and swaying counties that might lean democratic but have struggled in this economic recovery. people who don't feel the momentum in their paycheck or job prospects or providing for their families. demographic being run over?
