Republican congressman says that kind of behavior is exactly why hes launch ago primary challenge against the president , and potentially big shakeup in the big democratic race. A new poll shows a virtual threeway tie, and joe bidens campaign is not happy about the poll. If its monday, its questions meet the press daily. Im Steve Kornacki in for chuck tod todd. We begin with a series of remarkable headlines. The president returns to headlines at home about efforts within his own party to weaken his standing heading into the reelection campaign. He used this meeting with World Leaders as a way to pitch hose personal golf club in miami as a potential venue for next years meeting, which the u. S. Is due to host. He brushed aside ethical and perhaps legal concerns that hes looking to profit from the presidency, offering what amounted to an infomercial for his commercial property. With doral we have significant buildings, bunk allows that hold 50 to 70, very luxurious rooms, we have incredible conference rooms, incredible restaurants. Very importantly its only five minutes from the airport. We have many hundreds of acres, so in terms of parking, in terms of all the things you need, the ball rooms are among the biggest in florida and the best. Each country can have their own villa or their own bunk allow. And if the images of the resort in the months before a president ial election, the president also said that he wants to invite russia and Vladimir Putin. Reporter why do you think its appropriate to invite rischa to the g7 in that they meddle with the election, and that it might hurt you politically, because it will only by a couple months before the election. I dont care politically. A lot of people dont understand this. My inkline action is they should be in. President putin outsmarted president obama. I can understand how president obama would feel. He wasnt happy, and theyre not in for that reason. Reporter what about the misleading statement that russia outsmarted president obama when other countries said russia wall street kicked out clearly because he annexed crimea. Why keep repeating a clear lie. It was annexed during president obamas term. If they took crimea during his term, that was not a good thing. It could have been stopped, with the right whatever. But perhaps the most important headline from the president today came amid the whiplash about his statements about the trade war with china. Just so you understand, china wants to make a deal. Now whether or not we make a deal, its got to be a great deal for us. I have a lot of feeling for president xi. Very outstanding in so many ways. I told him strongly, look, youre starting up here and making 500 billion a year and stealing our intellectual property. Were down on the floor, lower than the floor. You cant make a 5050 deal. This has to to be a deal thats better for us. If its not better, lets not do business together. And lets bring in some experts. Gabe debenedetti is new york Magazines National correspondent, and susan del percent i dont, a political analyst, and michael steele, Senior Adviser to jeb bush and spokesman for House Speaker john boehner. Gabe, theres a lot going on there in what we just played, with the president inviting Vladimir Putin to the g7 next year u. Talking about the trade war, about crimea, the annexation back in 2014, but one of the things that stands out is there was no broad agreement twos these countries. And no one expected thering to. Yesterday again, the last few g7s have ended more or less the same way, ending with something that trump said, and the other leaders meeting by themselves to talk about something entirely. He has a practice of blowing these things up, and at least the sub headlines he used this press conference to sell his own hotel. Were used to this behavior, but we shouldnt be. Were not surprised nothing came because of this. If anything comes of it, it will be despite him. Every eight years or so, the United States gets to host these. Last one was camp david. Last seam sea island, georgia. There are other venues that have been used besides trump resorts. I forgot about camp david. We used to use camp david as a place for the president to go with foreign leaders to have summits and negotiate certain things in a different place than the white house. Everybody is more relaxed, willing to come to compromises. Thats not the case with this president. This president has essential set this up as a Financing Information to get more profits for his hotels. He either has they events in his hotels or promoting golf courses and resorts whether at these foreign events with all of the other leaders. Additionally, im just increasingly terrified, because i think one of the things that we forget when we watch donald trump promote his hotel or say things that should inappropriate or tweet things that are ridiculous, he is the commander in chief. Hes the person with the Nuclear Launch codes. When hes joking about nuking hurricanes, other things that are terrifying and result in great loss of life, we have to be reminded this is still not a game. This is not a joke, even though the president says ridiculous things and we often laugh at them or make fun of him for them, we cant forget that he has the Nuclear Launch codes. These deadly serious. Its never not been deadly serious. We can play a bit more of it. You heard him talking about why russia was kicked off g8. Here was more of his pitch for letting russia back in. Take a listen. I think they would be an asset. You know some of the things we were going in the room, yet we were discussing four or five matters. Russia was literally involved in all the of those four or five matters. We had numb lutz things we were discussing, a lot of things we were discussing. It would have been very easy if russia was in the room. We could have solve those things. Now theyre just in limbo. Susan, again, this is about the 2020 summit, it would take place a couple months before the election. The backdrop about the ewlex is russias involvement in 2016. Here is the president making a claim a statement that after everything thats been aired, that a few months before his 2020 reelection, he would like to welcome Vladimir Putin to the United States and make the g7, the g8. Its not that they just meddle in the 2016 or 2018. That russia is currently seeking to involve themselves in our election. Maybe russia came up in all those meetings, but it should be an issue of how to handle that country. The biggest take away from the g7 is a lot of people were looking for americas leadership. This president is not a leader. American leadership is gone for the moment. Hopefully it will return in 2021, but it is void now. The best the rest of the g6 plus one is mind him and contain his efforts and treat him like a child, heres something good, if you behave, and if you act up were talking about the president. We are. Thats terrifying. We are, its terrifying, but whats happened now is were on a world stage. The president doesnt offer leadership at home, he certainly cant off moral leadership, like we havent seen in hong kong, for example, and hes not offering economic leadership. This is creating this talk about an economic slowdown worldwide, because no ones they may be having lots of chats, but no one is coming to solutions. What youre getting at, too, this is the argument we mentioned at the top of the show, republicans, potentially some, maybe a few, going after him in the republican primaries. Joe walsh, former congressman, making the case he was a morning joe this morning making the case that his entire campaign will be trumps fitness for office. I believe that most republicans on privately believe publicly hes tweeting us into a recession. I believe most rpg are just tired of his b. S. And his drama. The best of my campaign is im trying to get people to come out and be brave enough to say publicly what they believe privately. Well, michael steel, let me bring new on this, then. The idea that joe walsh is making, theres a whole mass of republicans who believe privately what hes saying publicly, do you think thats true . No. I think that there are a large number of republicans in washington who may think that way. Theres a large number of conservatives that most reps are still very, very supportive of the president. I think that there is unease about his demeanor. Theres unease about his judgment. Theres unease about his grasp of the truth and his grasp of policy, but if you put the president up against any potentially democratic contender, and thats essential what hell do if. If you primary me, youre helping Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders turn the country into a socialist country with no border, and hes not barring a sharp economic downturn on visible failure to deal with a National Security threat. Hes not in any danger of losing the nomination in 2020. Let me follow up quickly, though. The theory you also have bill weld out there, the former Massachusetts Governor an oldschooled more liberal republican. I think the theory behind pushing walsh into this race, this is a tea partier. He will be attacking trump from that angle, therefore might have more credible, more ability to persuade republicans. Do you see anything to that . I think theres an argument he has different on flaws. But hes not any more compelling. He has his own history of questionable judgment. He has a long and loud support history of supporting the president himself. Former oneterm members of the house of representatives dont tend to win president ial nominations. I dont think this will be any exception. We could put this up on the screen, too, this is trumps current Approval Rating with republicans, and it sits at 88 . Gabe, you compare this to past president s, carter on the democratic side. He was at 40 when kennedy went after him, ford was 60 when reagan went after him with republicans. Trump is very vulnerable in the general election, yet at the same time it seems i agree with what michael is say there. Hes pretty much unstoppable on the republican side. Absolutely. I think theres a reason, that theres no mainstream republican whos challenging President Trump. Thats because not only is there no current constituency for that in the republican party, but no one has even come close to stepping up to that not and not been burned by that exploration. I think the idea over the long term would be for one of these people to soften the president s support in the Republican Base over the next eight, ten months he this is sort of a bank shot, but its a very long bank shot. The closest example we have in the past, cert lina, you think of 1992, bush senior got challengesed by buchanan. He got close to 40 in New Hampshire, got an audience for his criticisms. As a democrat looking at joe walsh now, how optimistic are you that anything like that will happen . Im not optimistic hes going to defeat trump in a primary or make too much hay at this stage. What i this i is good, his messaging seems to be correct. Im not a fan of the argument he just made, use the n word in the appropriate context, thats fine. So i would say if youre a white person, just dont use that word. Theres other words, and theres words i dont say, im not allowed to, and im fine with that. You should be, too. Hes not a good messenger on the moralist edge. I dont real ask a person of color if one spectrum one aspect of a racism thats a little out there is better than a bit more timid. Racism is racism. But his message about the fitness of the president , i think, to republicans could be effective, because the president demonstrates the lack of fitness every single day through his words and actions. That could gain traction, because you have the images of the president behaving in an unfit way every single day. I dont think he has traction on im better and im more moral, because i used to say racist things, but now i dont. Thats not compelling to me, but on the fitness, thats a strong argument are argument to make. In 92, bush was held to 53 , in the New Hampshire president ial primary. What do you think trump is setting up for now . 94 . I mean, its not the result of New Hampshire or iowa that this really is going to be about. Joe walsh has said first of all he will not vote for trump, you have a rep saying i will not endorse of nominee. Thats setting up the fact hes not running on a third party. Theres nothing taking away votes from potentially people who are frustrated. Hes going in full attack mode to go after his character, to reach out to conservatives, because he knows how to serve up red meat to a conservative audience. Hes been doing that the last four years on his radio show. If something goes drastically wrong in Donald Trumps tenure, whether it be the economy or other instance, the ground will be softened up enough, not for joe walsh or bill weld, or john kasich orb senator flake or someone else to come in, in many ways save the party going into a convention. You are all sticking around. Ahead, a shakeup in the democratic race. A new poll says its a threeway tie with joe bidens numbers falling. Well head to the big board next, to break it all down.

This is monmouth national poll, democratic voters. What do you see hoar . You dont see joe bidens name at the top. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren tied for 20 , a point ahead for joe biden. At the last poll he was clearly in the lead. Again, that would be a big drop for biden, continue what weve been seeing with warening, which is a slow but steady climb. For sanders, really probably the best poll he hayes seen this guy page. Again, at the top here the short answer is we will find out. How closely do other polls resemble this . Or is this an outlier . With. This is the margin of roar, 5 to 7 points, its a large margin of error. The sample size of this poll is 298. Hey, month most is a quality reputable pollster, the dnc uses them as part of the official criteria for deciding who gets into these dampl. Monmouth has been using sample sizes like this all year. Number idea, there is an etiological divide, but this has been bidens strength when it ideas to ideology. He leads, but in this poll, only 22 , barely ahead of sanders, and then theres this one. There is age. We have been talking about this, 50 years seems to be like a dividing line. Older than 50, under 50, theyre going in very different directions. Check this out. 50 years and older, joe biden is le leading now look at this. Voters under 50, not only is joe biden not in the lead, look how far you have to go down. Hes sitting at 6 in this poll, tied with andrew yang for voters under 5033 over 50. Thats why hes in trouble. Of what well see. The other key, the dnc concludes this to decide who gets on the debate stage, and by the way oops, that wasnt supposed to happen. These are the ten candidates who have qualified. Theres been a question mark around tom steyer. He has raised the dough nay he needs, but he needs one more poll at 2 to qualify. He did not hit that threshold in this poll today, so basically tomorrow or wednesday there needs to be some other poll that comes out. Steyer has to be at 2 or he will not be in the debate. If thats the case, then this will be it for the next debate. Ten candidates, one stage, one night. One debate. Its another reason this poll is news. Ahead, team biden are responding.
