She left. do you think she would fit the bill? i think somebody like dina powell would be a great choice because, again, she s seen as a more moderate mainstream conservative. i suspect there will be a battle in the administration over this because john bolton is the national security adviser. he s a former acting u.n. ambassador, and my speculation would be that would be perhaps part of the reason why nikki haley is leaving is because her role has been squeezed down. in her first role in office, rex tillerson was the invisible man so she was sort of the spokesperson for the u.s., and you had a national security adviser in h.r. mcmaster who gave her running room. now bolton and pompeo are much higher profile, much harder bureaucratic fighters and bolton in particular i think is exerting his will in terms of u.s. policy towards the u.n. he s on a jihad against the international criminal court. he loathes the u.n. i suspect he ll want to put somebody into that office who will mirror hi ....
Consistent, and powerful voice for america s interests and democratic principles on the world stage. she challenged friend and foe to be better. i am sadden thad she is leaving the the trump republican party and the more mainstream conservative traditional republican party, so she has been part of both wings of the republican party. now it s clearly the trump party that is predominant, and we don t know where she s going to end up, but she has maintained a railroad of independence or reputation for independence even while being in the inner circle and saying that she is private about her objections or disagreements with the president, if any, making it as you pointed out earlier only really clear after charlottesville that she had split with the president. andrea, mitchell, i will let you get back to your phone calls and text messages because i know you re working this story. let me bring in former deputy assistant secretary of state joel ruben. you ve been on before talking ....
Growth of governor scott. he also wants to help with reducing the taxes in that state. he has the right policies that fit for that state. mayor gillum does not. he does have far left wing policies. alice that are not fit for florida. president trump won florida. he has 50% approval rating. the wind is at desantis back. if he can put this behind him, he is in a good spot. this is what s so interesting. the fact of the matter is desantis is he is like a very one could argue sometimes he is more trumpier than trump. he is not some mainstream conservative. he believes in conspiracy theories. he is willing to use this dog whistle language to attack his opponent because he cannot talk about the issues. the fact of the matter is, mayor gillum is talking about the issues. that s how he won the democratic novemb nomination. he is talking about not just medicare for all but expanding ....
The math is very difficult for them and how much of this is about revving up the democratic base for the midterms? i think they have to whether for the midterms or there were no mid terms, they have to do this because the democratic base would be upset without seeing resistance, even if it s unlikely to stop him. you have to put forward an effort and then i guess they re hoping something comes out in the hearing. seems very unlikely and the ultimate question is who would they replace him with? even if they were able to stop him, the idea that donald trump chooses somebody who isn t hostile to roe v. wade at a minimum. a lot of republicans are saying it won t get overturned. i don t necessarily agree with that. we know at a minimum it would have to be somebody extremely hostile to roe v. wade. you worked with brett kavanaugh, both at the bush white house. he is being portrayed as a mainstream conservative by his supporters. a lot of democrats say this guy is a wolf in sheep s clot ....
