Would do if he introduced mitt romney on stage as his secretary of state. it wasn t that donald trump necessarily needed that apology, but mitt romney is somebody and i think this is what kellyanne conway was getting at and some of the other opponents inside, so anathema to the trump support network that it was a puzzle piece that just wasn t going to fit. you have rick perry, who was one of the first candidates, came out with a blistering speech called him cancer. cancer on conservativism, questioning his faith, his beliefs, whether he really had deep religious beliefs. clearly, perry, you know, he spoke at the convention, so he had clearly right. made amends before that. but i don t think he to my knowledge he hasn t made an apology for what he said. he sort of did back off more than mitt romney did. there are so many differences between these two people. as much as donald trump is an enigma and what is he thinking man. ....
Concern to trump, that mitt romney didn t owe him anything, anderson. hmm. jamie, stay with us. i want to bring back the panel. david, what do you make of jamie s reporting? it s interesting, this idea of insisting upon an apology. right. i certainly don t think that alone was the deal-breaker. it was part of a larger thing. last night he mentioned paul ryan on stage and he gets booed. imagine what the trump crowd would do if he introduced mitt romney on stage as his secretary of state. it wasn t that donald trump necessarily needed that apology, but mitt romney is somebody and i think this is what kellyanne conway was getting at and some of the other opponents inside, so anathema to the trump support network that it was a puzzle piece that just wasn t going to fit. you have rick perry, who was one of the first candidates, came out with a blistering speech called him cancer. cancer on conservativism, ....
You just don t know where he s uncaged lion. he s a lion on the loose. and if you poke him, you know, you re going to be in trouble. that s what we ve seen. he just ramps up his rhetoric. i do think this is in some ways a problem with the republican party s own making. if you turn back to 2012 you remember with mitt romney on stage next to donald trump saying he was honored and delighted to have his endorsement. and a lot of the sort of politics around race, and sort of race baiting have defined the republican party for quite some time. and so, they want to kind of push back on him now, but over the last couple of years we saw him really rise through the ranks. he was talking about all of this stuff now and that had obviously racial undertones as well. i still think it gives some republicans an opportunity to sort of, you know, just like let him implode on stage. and sort of have that moment of standing up to the, you know, the schoolyard bully or whatnot. and it has to be skil ....
Looked up to you for the longest time. what happened to your support of the underdogs? sad times, mike. and mike rowe joins me now. all right. what happened to your support of the underdog, sad times, mike writes kevin? and you say to him? kevin, listen, what are you people find what they look for, right? you can look at dirty jobs and you can see an honest tribute to hard-working skilled labor. that s exactly what it was. but it was also a tribute to risk and entrepreneurship and business. there was always two sides of the same coin. so for me, i ve never looked at it as selling in or selling out. it s just work, and the idea that you can either be on the employee s side or the employer s side, it s a bad choice. you know? and i just don t want to make it. i want to just make it clear here because you were there with mitt romney on stage. you never endorsed him, right? no. some people might be going okay, this guy s a republican ....
The further you go the further in the south you go you ll just not change a lot of minds on this issue. so there is probably some opportunity for common ground around background checks but much beyond that i don t know. well, i think when the president going out is actually a terrific thing and his message, he s got the biggest megaphone, the platform. today with the nra s press conference, it seems like a strong sign when the head of the organization isn t the one speaking. they have the message delivery problems. i think the president is going to do quite well next week. we are in an evolutionary period with the gun control efforts. all of the measures that jonathan was mentioning are certainly going to be on the table. and i think the president and others, the mayors, mayor emmanuel, others should be commended because they are keeping that conversation in the right place and they also are effective messengers. i question the nra s effectiveness. all right. we ll leave it there. ....
