general election without joe biden s their best chance for that. the problem he has, and i know you re talking about tulsi gabbard here, but these guys are attacking kamala harris over being a prosecutor, frankly. leland: you and i used to laugh about reagan s 11th commandment in the republican party. if democrats ever had one, it is gone, real gone. it seems as though democrats attacking barack obama, his policies, his legacy is relatively the political equivalent of republicans attacking ronald reagan and saying, gee, he wasn t conservative enough, and he wasn t tough enough on the russians. that s exactly right. that s an excellent comparison. i mean, barack obama is to democrats what ronald reagan was to my party. and the one thing we haven t done is cannibalize reagan yet, nor do i plan to do that. he s still ronald the great. on the democratic side they re already fracturing only three years after the obama
radio panel, radio host rj harris from harrisburg, pa, a friend of the show and noted expert. and tom heartland from portland, oregon. i appreciate both you guys being here. nice to be here. leland: rj, pulled out some of the ads and talking points from the republican race in pa. some of the words thrown around, slimeball, deadbeat, phony and those are the nice ones. up there reagan s 11th commandment somehow got forgotten. well, it did and i think it s because scott wagner s current state senator had such a sizable lead that paul mango thought he had to do something to really separate himself. now, they argue who went negative first, but i think that there s no question that paul mango s commercials were really just brutal and laura ellsowrth is in the middle of this looking good because she really didn t participate except pointing out the fact that they were at each other s throats.
editor of the weekly standard and jason miller. good morning, gentlemen. happy monday to both of you. jason, since is you retweeted the president s attack on senator corker, i ll start with you. what happened to reagan s 11th commandment, do not speak ill of another republican. what possible good could come of this strategically? it is important to point out senator corker has been attacking the president over the last couple of months here. and obviously the president took issue with that. look, senator corker definitely didn t mind kissing up to president trump when he wanted to be vice president, when he wanted to be secretary of state. now since he didn t get either of these positions and now he s retiring, he seems to just be kind of letting it all hang out there. and i think it s really showing the true colors of the swamp nature of washington, d.c. that he is criticizing such basic tenets of the republican platform like tax cuts.
leland: jeff flake dismissing criticism from president trump but some republicans are now urging the president against clashing with both arizona senators flake and john mccain arguing they re all on the same team. joining us now former arkansas governor mike huckabee. we re glad to have him on our team. good to see you, sir, as always. thank you very much, leland, great to be with you. leland: important to note how this all started with this book from senator flake that he wrote, conservative with a conscience is a title. it could have just been called trolling president trump. so if we re going to go back to reagan s 11th commandment who is at fault here? i think jeff flake writing a book trying to poke at donald trump. he should have known that when you poke at donald trump, he is going to come back at you. my gosh, did somebody miss the
to fulfill his end of the contract. they ve breached their contract. if he runs as an independent, if these republicans think that we re going to fall back in line, like we ve done for decades, they re wrong. what happened to reagan s 11th commandment? there s that gop rnc knife in the back. they have no place attacking any one of their candidates. and reince priebus just showed his true colors. it s like goliath and david, it s like the prince and the dragon. you know, here s trump, you know, wielding a sword and you have a huge flippant machine of a dragon coming after him. who do you think the people are going to get behind? the gop cannot control him, that s what they don t like about him. they can control bush. they can control rubio. they can control all of them. for them to come out and to go, back stab him like this, you know what, i m done with the
