Beyond those who have been so outspoken to push back on that. Will we see other senators come out today and take a flake or corkerlike position on that . Well find out. But right now i doubt it. A standing ovation. I want to bring my panel in. Robert costa, National Political reporter for the Washington Post and bret stephens, an oped columnist for the New York Times and megan murphy, the editor of Bloomberg Business week. Brett, i want to start with you. One trump critic said the ice is beginning to crack. What were seeing with bob corker, with jeff flake, youre going to see more republicans follow suit. Do you think thats the case . Follow suit in denouncing the president . Yes. Or in renouncing their political ambitions. Fair point. This is the key thing. Theres a law in economics, greshams law, bad money drives out good. In a sense what we have is bad republican politicians driving out good ones who are just removing themselves literally

oh, that s unfair. i would ask you. because romney would be robotic. he would. i m going to say romney. but who would you rather have as president? not just that. i just came from the memorial service for david berger. and one of the points that one of the eulogists made, he didn t believe in trivializing politics. this is not a game. and romney is a smart guy. she has no business being in this. she is out of the clown car. she is taping this right now. john alder, she is loving some big shot ivy leaguer, on newsweek, has just declared her not eligible to run for president. i didn t say that. i said she is going to win the iowa caucus and lose in new hampshire. you called her trivial. here is the thing that is i think most significant about her. what does she do to tim pawlenty who is also from minnesota? does she push him off stage? i think you re right. there s a gresham s law here, the good money drives the money out of circulation.

there s a greshams law here, the good money drives the money out of circulation. it could be a real problem. another guy who could beat president obama, lose in the first couple rounds. possible. you think that s true? yeah. she could have that role here. she could have that role. i don t see her getting far beyond iowa. obviously she wins the iowa caucus, going to give her a boost. this isn t table stakes. if you look at the lds money, the mormon money, and i do not knock this for a second, that mitt romney can draw with that tremendous fraternity, sorority, people that trust him because of a common background, and his business background and the fact that he can take a couple defeats. i think that s the romney strength. he can take some knockdowns. she gets knocked out, she s out of the game. pawlenty gets knocked out, he s knocked out of the game. romney can hang in there like mccain or like most presidential nomine nominees, end up winning the marathon. unless h
