Or john kasich or jeb bush to be their nominee, it is hard to imagine how they are going to draw double-digit strength in a field like that. the republican establishment happens to be in person tonight, michael steele. oh, that s the last thing i am. i want you to listen to the real establishment, mitt romney, with the reasoning why donald trump will never be the nominee. let s listen. my party has historically nominated someone who is a mainstream conservative. and someone with foreign policy that can guide with confidence a ship in troubled waters. mr. trump over the weekend, i think, on 60 minutes said that he thought it would be a good idea to let isis take over syria and then we can pick up the pieces. and i thought that was both absurd and dangerous. ....
Has spent so far. we don t believe it s that much at all. mostly he is just spending money on travel and some money for his staff. but he s not spending money on on ads and not spending money on a number of other things other candidates typically spend money on so when all is said and done and stops getting as much national tv attention as he has been getting, how much money will he be taking out of his pockets to fund this campaign? that s when you re going to know how serious of a candidate donald trump is. let me ask you about something the man who last ran for the republican for president as a republican, mitt romney, said earlier. let me play the tape of what mitt romney had to say about donald trump. i will support the republican nominee. i don t think that s going to be donald trump. my party has historically nominated someone who s a mainstream conservative. and someone who has a foundation in foreign policy to give people confidence to guide the ship of ....
i m not going to wear rose-which colored glasses. now with the russia bombing the opposition that the u.s. is pledged to support, romney s declaration seems prophetic. romney waded into the 2016 campaign. emitting laughter when he said the republicans are the parties of immigrants. and for the first time he weighed in on donald trump. ripping the billionaire for childishly insulting his opponents. ridiculing what trump said he would do about isis. he thought it would be a good idea to let isis take over syria and we could pick up the pieces. i thought that was both absurd and dangerous. romney said he doesn t think trump will ever be the nominee. that a mainstream conservative will rise to the top. and he warned that some shill rhetoric coming from trump and other candidates on immigration can only lead to defeat next november. on that point romney clearly ....
Has long viewed that as something that will help her clear this hurdle, maybe move on to more the policy topics and specifics. so those are two things here. as for biden, i think claire mccaskill is right, there s universal love of the vice president within the democratic party. there s universal sympathy for the vice president beyond the democratic party. the biggest question, of course, is what happens if he enters into the campaign arena? does do the numbers start going down much like they did for secretary of state clinton when she entered? and i think that s the big unknown right now. and let s talk about the republicans for a moment. mitt romney just a few moments ago at the atlantic aspen institute conference was asked about donald trump. let s watch. i will support the republican nominee. i don t think that s going to be donald trump. my party has historically nominated someone who is a mainstream conservative. and someone who has a foundation in foreign policy that gives ....
By the end of march, that s this year a goal that bush leaked to confidants in february to clear the field of challengers. what we seem to have here is a party caught between two extremes, the mushy middle and a ticking time bomb. we re joined by april, author of the presidency in black and white and nicholas of the new york times. i m going to start with liz. this is well people tell me what he is doing is running for the establishment. that s his first goal. take on hillary later on. i think that s probably correct. the question that i have about the strategy is is this really a field that is going to be wid delled down to the usual two where we have an establishment or anti-establishment or are we going to see this splinter into four, a more moderate candidate, somebody who is a mainstream conservative for this field, ....
