up with a new health care insurance jim garlow believes he has a but he worries about sharing it publicly simply because he is a lead pastor of skyline church in la blames a provision in the federal tax code known as the johnson amendment for what he calls the of pastors across the it forbids a category that includes most of the churches and other charitable from getting directly involved in is not a criminal violators face only the loss of the many hail it as a protector of thomas famous of between church and state but to garlow and other outspoken pastors around the it is an unconstitutional restriction on free and i believe the government has any role in dictating what a church or faith community says or does not say in the pulpit at garlow a matter of based on that particular pastor and that the amendment only explicitly prohibits outright endorsements or opposition of candidates running for but along with thousands of other pastors and advocacy fears that speaking out on political such as health care or could also violate the causing their organizations to lose their as a garlow calls the irs pulpit the picture that suggests of federal agents surreptitiously monitoring sermons conflicts with the amendment has been enforced only once in the six decades it has been on the against a church that took out a newspaper ad against bill clinton yet garlow still sees reason for where the ambiguity sets in is even the irs has been a bit challenged by explaining what the johnson amendment he if one candidate is and the other candidate is and you should vote and you even mention the names of the is that not in fact a de facto i would contend it probably that consideration has prevented churches from taking stands on abortion or other contentious political concerns seem mostly but as long as the amendment remains in future administrations could interpret it more aside from the hypothetical practical garlow sees advocating against the johnson amendment as a moral to preventing religious leaders from joining the national discourse on political issues is not only a violation of the first but it also robs the nation of unconventional viewpoints that could make useful contributions to solving the that were to have an enormous reduction in human suffering and an enormous reduction in garlow inner city hurting is there because of public policies based on faulty those principles could be pulpits of america can save america from garlow have a colossal economic failure of a health care plan that was doomed at failure from its and going to have the same again unless we can realize that health care is an individual a family and the scripture says care for one he based on his own religious that health care sharing programs such as medshare and liberty healthcare where members make monthly contributions to cover each medical care costs would be less expensive and more stable than he also believes that it is his right to urge his congregation to vote for candidates who would fight for similar programs in garlow says his goal is not to use his church as a political machine to sway he believes that advising his congregation on the issues of the day is a vital part of his role in his which is to counsel parishioners on how best to live their lives within their religious a bill to overturn the the free speech fairness act has been introduced in it would lift the restrictions on political speech by but would not permit churches to use funds for political activities such as purchasing but some experts on civil liberties are concerned about tampering with the status having the johnson amendment would push religion to become more politicized and vulnerable to by partisan forces than it already said mark duke university professor of religious and chaves believes that the ambiguities leave room for pastors to provide the moral guidance that their congregations rely already have ways to make it clear which candidates they support or not through slanted voter guides and chaves the johnson would risk further politicizing religion in and i think why i personally think it would be a very bad idea to encourage this already and i think it would be a bad idea to push it further in that lyndon johnson in president trump signs an executive order aimed at easing an irs rule limiting political activity

said in the not the said senior erik have never placed any content controls on said from the all we are advocating for is the right of the pastor to determine what is said in the pulpit and what

president trump said in february that he will the johnson those freedoms is the right to worship according to our own trump said at the national prayer is why i will get rid of and totally destroy the johnson amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of trump signed a religious freedom executive order in may that did little to solve the according to stanley and the free speech fairness act will likely not even come up for a vote this according to some are attempting to work around adding language to a federal spending bill that would require a johnson

comes to fighting for civil for we let politics get in the way of doing the crowd went everything zbur said was conveniently on slogan is for a and exhibit a is always his as to defy state law and open city hall to thousands of we can confidently say is the first day in the state of california that we are providing marriage equally and fairly to and denying no one their right and their opportunity to live their lives out newsom announced in his debut digital ad which begins with footage of gay couples exchanging takes courage to make real a voiceover gavin patrick fallon for yahoo news more politics everything zbur said also happens to be decision popular at the time not in and not in the democratic after george bush won reelection and states passed amendments in massachusetts barney himself accused newsom of helping to conservative supporters by playing into fears of as the new york times put it california dianne one of early claiming that the issue has been too too too it would take another eight years for a democratic barack to finally come out in favor of full marriage equality by getting ahead of his party and his newsom imperiled his political ambitions as the approval ratings soared in san perhaps the most socially liberal city in but the rest of california lagged just four years backers of proposition a measure to amend the state constitution to prohibit cut a campaign ad that began with a cocksure newsom declaring wide open he says in the gonna happen whether you like it or a few months prop passed with percent of the and just like california outlawed marriage for the next five when newsom tried to challenge jerry brown for governor in he polls routinely showed him trailing by percentage points or he bowed out seven months before the the rest of the democratic and much of the rest of the has caught up with has proven that gavin newsom made the right a very bold feinstein recently told the los angeles times and how the now vindicated by the march of has been selling himself to the as a visionary with the to do things but maneuvering on marriage simply about boldness or neither were the other achievements he likes to from the universal health care system he implemented in san francisco to the ballot initiatives he championed to legalize recreational marijuana and require background checks for ammunition they were also examples of something more and possibly than willingness to leverage his most powerful asset his position of privilege to promote progressive patrick fallon for yahoo news more when kate executive director of the national center for lesbian first heard that newsom was planning to unilaterally legalize marriage in san she was afraid it might be but she quickly came one of the she later told the los angeles times was that newsom himself lent the issue a kind of crossover move by newsom played against she did not expect this irish straight moderate to do something so in newsom was operating from a position of both personal privilege a figure validating a and political privilege the mayor of one of most and he was using that privilege to push an envelope that other politicians felt they afford to if less moments his decision to side with workers during a citywide hotel even though hotel management had contributed generously to his campaign and the union had bitterly opposed his successful push for countywide universal health care access the first system of its kind despite his initial as a businessman to ask employers to pony biography suggests that privilege has always been a thing for him an advantage and a perhaps because his own privilege is shallower than it a recent new yorker article described newsom as the scion of a wealthy san francisco family not quite retired state appellate judge william newsom is well connected in democratic his son got his start in politics when one of party power broker john convinced another newsom then san francisco mayor willie to appoint gavin to a vacant seat on the board of the elder newsom is also a longtime consigliere and money manager for his catholic school chum gordon whose fortune is estimated at billion getty helped launch newsom in the wine business by investing in his upstart plumpjack which expanded rapidly into hotels and clothing and eventually made newsom a in the san francisco chronicle reported that getty was the lead investor in of the younger he also spent on first wedding reception and lent him million to purchase a patrick fallon for yahoo news more yet newsom was acquainted with the opposite of privilege as his parents divorced when he was neither was there was financial newsom once told the san francisco chronicle most terrible family moments were always around struggling with severe dyslexia he has said he was at and admits that he still has to read newspaper articles twice to understand them newsom grew up mostly with his tessa in san delivering busing tables and later working tessa opened their home to foster children and and to make ends meet she often held down several jobs at assistant buyer at a local department in she died of breast cancer shortly after being evicted from her rented as a newsom occasionally traveled with the and the contrast between their lives and his left a lasting in he recounted one particularly powerful were in spain somewhere fancy and all the getty boys came newsom told the was about the same age about a couple of people there assumed i was one of and i will never forget how i was the until the moment when they realized i was not a member of the was he making a chopping out of my way nothing to i realized again who i but i also realized how difficult it was for billy and john and because they have a false sense of swear to you when i say newsom ever allow that to be me the people who did in newsom is anything but a asked whether he would write a book like now that a foreign power has allegedly hacked a election and mark zuckerberg has been forced to testify on capitol he i he notion we can amplify civic engagement by the use of platforms i think more evident with trump and trumpism than i could have ever i think really made the newsom boasts about balancing his budgets as he praises the man he hopes to jerry for disproving republican narrative that you grow your economy and reduce your greenhouse gas or that you grow your economy as we did a number of years increase taxes on your top he says this lesson have to be profligate to be a as he frequently puts it is the most potent thing that national democrats can learn from where sacramento is currently debating how best to spend the record surplus brown will leave and he is even of fellow progressives like bernie who he says want to other folks presumably richer folks in order to build their patrick fallon for yahoo news more done or so town all over this newsom feel an intensity coming from the progressive base of our no question that the base is pulling its leadership in that a lot of i have little businesses i started out of with he one tendency i have not succumbed that i is begrudging other some people in our their rhetoric comes across as particularly crass in how it relates to economic business i just caution against i think a healthy thing for our i hear everyone and then i hear us bashing the private not yet newsom is still promising an agenda far more progressive than hillary or barack and far more expensive than any even has ever in interviews he often mentions his and how willingness to take risks not be is a part of way it is the risk newsom is taking in his gubernatorial from his privileged position as the top democrat in the most democratic state in america is coming he likes to say gavin newsom will show his party the not by choosing sides between moderates and fiscal hawks and progressive the coastal elites and the rest of the country but rather by being more of everything than anyone a scruffy democratic socialist from vermont calling for health care is one he seems to be a entrepreneur on a basis with sergey and larry is it remains to be whether governor can maintain this precarious balancing act long enough to actually enact such an ambitious even signs of strain are near the end of the portion of the palm springs town hall a newsom staffer kept snapping and is the last for every time the candidate tried to answer anyone a friendly voter asked newsom to a moment on health care patrick fallon for yahoo news more it was an opportunity for newsom to expand on the issue that had most distinguished him from early newsom decided to be the and early on villaraigosa decided to run as a reality in the sky put food on the villaraigosa would citing objective estimates that put the annual cost of a statewide system at or twice as much as entire budget snake at newsom seemed to rise to the is my commitment to you to advance the conversation on universal health care he have studied the beveridge model i have studied the national health insurance model i have studied the models of germany and other which have distinctive health insurance all in that vernacular of single all with different different different and i am convinced california can achieve this goal of health the crowd no one seemed to notice how carefully newsom had chosen his committing to the conversation on universal health care the same as committing to pass single and saying that california achieve this the same as promising to implement implicit in his hedged rhetoric were the caveats newsom had already voiced in less rousing settings about how single payer would not by the signature of the next but rather take with and on the ballot maybe not to mention an unlikely waiver from the trump yet palm springs chose to hear what it wanted to and the candidate moved ever conscious of the zeitgeist and how his own image can better reflect newsom knows that or or whatever you want to call is a good look for a democrat at a time of trumpian and he has been even in the but how bold can a governor even a california governor really newsom campaigning in east this andrew more two months before and palm newsom campaigned in east a heavily latino section of the and walked along cesar chavez he greeted supporters at moles la tia and el gallo he shopped for his wife at nataly on the he encountered a young community college student battling homelessness and she came from a foster she and lived in her car while attending he told her his family had fostered children he seemed moved by her a perennial problem in homelessness was the issue that propelled newsom to the mayoralty in as a he championed the controversial care not cash program to slash county welfare checks in exchange for services and and it eventually became part of his year plan to abolish chronic which succeeded in reducing the street population by about percent but record was though he delivered an annual state of homelessness address and constantly visited homeless service providers and activists criticized him for busing the homeless out of san and his tax incentives and policies would later make matters worse by luring tech companies and their wealthy employees back to the san francisco and the rest of california are experiencing yet another homelessness the homeless population jumped nearly percent from to bringing the count to or a quarter of the national as he rallied a few dozen voters in el gallo these numbers seemed to be on he described homelessness as ultimate manifestation of our failure as a and vowed to audacious and to in a direction we moved in andrew news more growth in this state has been a spectator sport for too many newsom are living in a state that is the richest and the poorest state in happened on our we own we have got to step up our eight million people living below the poverty percent of our children at or near the poverty this is the this is the why why running for we can do and we can do and so i commit to at the core of my this is what drives this is my two months in palm the subject came up about halfway through the town sundra a black woman with gray glasses and an aluminum grabbed the microphone from the she had driven two hours from to ask her have been homeless holden worked for years in this rent in california has gone nobody can work a regular job and rent an affordable i am sick and tired of looking at people on tv living in tents and sickening to these are regular people trying to make it every what can we do to give a rental that somebody can go live in and be comfortable when they work more than hours a sorry for what newsom sorry to say not i holden sundra holden asks a question of gavin newsom at an event sponsored by equality palm patrick fallon for yahoo more newsom recited a litany of stats about the unsheltered population and shuttered acute psych he talked about he said that solve while and supportive services solve but he say that homelessness crushing economic inequality was his the interest of getting to all the i want you to know the sincerity which i bring to this the newsom laid out a detailed plan on the issues of behavioral on the issue of substance and we laid out a strategy on ssi security care these blended interventions around all of that was newsom has plenty of plans to address homelessness and affordability but with the primary only a few days and other voters to he no longer sounded like the guy come to el gallo he like a politician with too much to and too little which is what he will every if elected the problem with promising more than anyone people will expect more of more more more progressives will expect moderates will expect these things always and if the lesson the democratic party learns from newsom is that sounding bold wins it will be a lesson fraught with actually governing boldly will be hard enough in with its surpluses and its delivering on a national level would be even after the event in palm sundra holden seemed content with answer on homelessness at least for she believe newsom would make a said he holden find a way to

bracingly unfiltered talker has run perhaps the most disciplined campaign of would be another way to put from the very sinema made it clear that her campaign would depart from the prevailing view among progressives that if democrats want to win back and eventually the white they should disregard dwindling centrist bloc and focus instead on harnessing their own anger toward donald trump is a sinema insisted when the arizona republic asked about her message in one of the only news profiles she participated in during this election her democratic counterpart in beto sinema has studiously avoided the national media she added that trump is a part of what i think my constituents are worried about or think she is not about a sinema never is about about putting people ahead of i think

likely lesson of his story is that it only happened after years of amounting to an open if weinstein stop after thomas and cosby and ailes and why should we expect others to stop because of if movie

where it then you probably know how you feel about someone who tries to appreciate all the complications of an rather than starting with the political objective and working backward from then betting you feel a lot like i do when it comes to the deliberations concerned and not a little the standoff over kavanaugh and a troubling allegation stemming from a teen party years ago raises a series of questions thought and written about a lot over the which get to the heart of how we assess character especially in someone if handed the will have it for walk through a few of the first of is whether the accusation is as no doubt christine blasey ford claims that two years her drunkenly attacked her at a pinning her to a trying to remove her clothes and stifling her while his buddy watched and laughed and weirdly leaped on top of all we can really do here is assess the credibility of it probably means something that she has repeated it many times in private venues over the she names mark still a close friend of as the which would be a pretty dumb thing to do if you were making up a malicious story you wanted people to i suppose if that ford confused kavanaugh with some other prep school kid she barely to account seemed more credible and more independent before she declined to testify and called for an fbi which put her squarely in league with democrats trying to delay that felt and maybe her lawyer serving her but leaving those machinations it certainly seems like ford believes every word of her own story and that at least some substantial part of it has to be a more complicated is whether the if it is in fact ought to be the easiest answer to give here is that if the was disgusting and probably criminal and that he showed no remorse and that he thought so little of this girl that he even recall the specific incident i guess is in this moment of national the best way for a guy like me to prove himself above suspicion or try anyway is to agree that the accused is morally irredeemable and send him into permanent except as written none of us ought to be defined by the ugliest moments of our lives and especially not our teenage as i was once told by bob the former senator who went through his own painful public reckoning over his actions as a navy seal in we are not the worst things ever fellow democrats must believe by the because they stood by bill clinton through all the odious disclosures of his private and they still lionize the late ted who was responsible for a death in neither was years old at the character demands the moral arc of a lifetime not everything is equally mistakes of youth can be humiliating and but they can also help you grow into a more more compassionate to my kavanaugh deserves the at to be judged through that wider leads me to what i think is now the central question surrounding imperiled is kavanaugh lying to us now when he says that none of this could possibly have and what does that categorical denial tell us about his fitness to because whatever else is or whatever has been clouded in memory by intervening a few things about kavanaugh back then seem he traveled in the same social circle as or at least for a he was immature and he probably great to the girls he he drank more than a kid something he himself alluded when he joked to graduates of his fancy prep happens at georgetown prep stays at georgetown been a good thing for all of i the buddy whom ford places in the room that later wrote a fictionalized addiction memoir in which a character named drinks himself into a vomiting like i high school the totality of a but the there are plenty of ways someone as eloquent as kavanaugh could have responded publicly to the allegation against he could have a lot of misguided i drank and i have only vague memories of that i am certain as i stand here today that i never attacked and i have no specific recollection of but if i or any of my friends were involved in immature behavior that was painful to anyone at the i regret he could have in judge me for my lifetime of not for whatever may have happened at that i was too stupid and drunk to but not what kavanaugh is he dismisses not only the allegation but the context around he says he that kind of he says he in the house ford can describe in he makes a victim of her all over by essentially calling her he makes no allowance for the possibility that his own memory is blurred by inebriated and maybe there is a pattern this is essentially what kavanaugh did when he was asked during his last confirmation hearing for the federal whether he had been involved in internal discussions over the detention of enemy combatants during the george bush he denied it when in fact the more complicated that he had been tangential to those discussions but sometimes would have just as he flatly rejected the assertion that ever lived beyond his means and racked up credit card debt to pay for even though the truth was probably more shaded than and not really so my fear about kavanaugh that a sexual barring new no evidence to suggest he my fear is that his experiences as a partying teenager actually teach him a hell of a lot about fallibility or he seems not to have emerged with much appreciation for the gray areas in which most larger truths a supreme court justice need to be a perfect or to have led an unfailingly exemplary

worried research focuses on the effectiveness of continuing medical education funded by the pharmaceutical as well as contrived or exaggerated she said pharmaceutical companies get doctors on their advisory boards and pay them to educate other influential doctors at cme these thought leaders also sign their names to articles whether written by them or not so that the views find their way into medical when drugs are approved and diseases are accepted as medical students are then taught to treat what were once considered benign trouble is that people are very reluctant to believe that things

conflicts of interest have failed james cindy pearson is the executive director of national health network which came into being years many women had been given drugs they need or were never told the truth about the drugs they were although drug mongering affects men she women are more likely to be targeted partly because they are often the decision makers for their keeping abreast of new and making sure their families meet recommendations for vaccinations and medical she said the nwhn looks at claims of new conditions very skeptically and is willing to tell believe the hype about this new believe the hype about this supposed condition and rush to get a screening test been told is new and can help feel that there are people involved in creating new diseases and promoting drugs that

about underdiagnosed conditions promoting a disease as pervasive and yet pharma marketing they downplay the importance of personal coping strategies or the fact that a condition is essentially

of a movement to roll back and excessive this movement is largely but not exclusively aimed at challenging the claims of pharmaceutical these researchers and doctors are also concerned about ritualistic practices of like vast amounts of screening and routine testing that leads to more diagnosis and treatment than is pearson advocates for regulations on drug both in medical education and to scale back a competitive environment in which every new drug needs to be a blockbuster and make a billion dollars in annual do that unless willing to price a new drug for a relatively small group of people through the which we do see in cancer and other terribly serious but if marketing a drug that no one will pay that much for because the condition that then you have to market it to a heck of a lot of for she said an actual condition in which fragile bones are more susceptible to was blown out of proportion by drug companies who overpromoted screening tests leading many women into drug use that only harmed who brought the first drug to market about years ago wanted a larger market than just the very old who were already suffering from she so pharmaceutical companies invested in the mass production of what had been a research tool called dexa and made it they placed dexa machines in primary care offices for manufactured them en masse so the price would funded an older group to run an education campaign about the importance of funded another group to run a hotline that women could call to learn of where they can get screened and funded a meeting of experts to determine which level of bone loss would be considered they also did at that which was supported by the drug was create a condition called which is less than normal but not she the company started telling doctors that they should get women on these treatment drugs to prevent the development of in other they created osteopenia as a disease and outlined recommendations to treat healthy women with the same drug used by women with actual this worked for about millions of women took the drug who need to with no proof that it would prevent hip fractures when of those women suffered as a result with a type of fracture that had been previously rare called femur pearson these are fractures in the long bone of the thigh that cause created a trap with a screening test that was useful to the but the creation of this condition of osteopenia pushed millions of women to take a drug that wound up hurting pearson called osteopenia mongering plain and tiefer said that the creation and promotion of female sexual dysfunction is a textbook example of disease she explained that fsd assumes such a thing as sexual a normal sex life regarding sex sexual kinds of desires or preferred sexual she said these qualities have far more to do with individual and cultural preferences than any sort of medical norms or health people have been influenced by a parade of experts who wanted to create a field called an and they of course were aided and abetted by the pharmaceutical i think both of those things ambition on the part of a lot of health practitioners and the bottomless greed of the pharmaceutical she the marketing strategy behind disease mongering is to link a disease with a in the face of such close brand it can be difficult for a new drug to break into the so companies have an incentive to develop diagnostic if you alter the description slightly and come up with a new you can open up an entirely new market that you can happened with they had a serotonin reuptake inhibitor that was late to so they redefined shyness to be social anxiety was the drug where it was just another so they linked depression and they really create another disease but they distinguished their antidepressant as the one you should use in your patient with depression and really sort of brilliant and their advertising line was said hypoactive sexual desire disorder was invented to prepare the market for a testosterone which never got approval in the but the disease stuck it was revived by the company that wound up selling addyi the disease was already out having been invented by one drug company and expanded by which is really kind of the experts agreed that medical harm from disease which ranges from temporary to constitutes a health crisis in which damages are borne almost entirely by patients despite going largely unnoticed by according to prescription drugs are responsible for more harm than both surgery and health though difficult to measure the full extent of successive studies show that it has been estimates of the extent of harm in the united states published by the institutes of medicine in which at that time were considered so shocking as to be disbelieved by some have since

of republican convention delegates had hatched new to block a stumbling donald trump in cleveland by adding a to the as regular unconventional readers there is a convincing case to be made and in his new unbound rules committee member curly haugland of north dakota makes it that republican convention delegates are already technically free to nominate whomever they want in despite the impression that they are bound by the results of the primary votes in each a conscience clause would make this freedom explicit by saying that every delegate is allowed to vote his or her conscience on the first ballot even if state laws or party rules say at this new faction was fairly roughly delegates from states participated in a conference call last thursday since the unlikely campaign appears to have picked up a second conference call on sunday night attracted a claimed and this both the rnc and trump have begun to fight back with delegate strategies of their own the group that started all this commotion calls itself free the its founder and in chief is kendal she is a history a a rules committee and a former ted cruz supporter from on she hopped on the phone with unconventional to discuss how free the delegates came why she is but and what exactly planning to do in if conscience clause she has a plan and a plan how did free the delegates kendal it began with me and the other colorado rules committee guy grousing about how we even want to go to the convention anymore after cruz dropped but once we went through the grief we started talking about our we discussed various types of rules we could we settled on the idea of a conscience by that i had heard curly on heard him on i read his book as soon as it came and i was this is my eighth we have been always had the power to unbind myself i just never knew i had the but been told it was mitt romney your first but you accepted same with many other republican nominees before why do you suddenly want to unbind different this a grassroots been a grassroots activist for always been against the why i was initially amused with donald trump because he was breaking down the walls of the i was but then the bloom wore off the tell you when he slapped my blinders when he mocked the reporter with that was a game changer for i am the mom of a son who died of his i believe every single life is having worked with families that have having been in those there is no variation with you do not mock people with may i ask what your disability he had dilated which is a heart he also had a form of back then this was years ago we have nearly as much information as we have he died at he was three weeks shy of his why actions triggered a mother lion instinct in and then came all his subsequent acts of extreme prejudice and there were people on your first conference call last a few days you had another call with you claim where did that surge of interest come we started driving the and we started we got a key group of people in we are we are not just laypeople who have never done this our people have organized and run they are elected active in the this is not our first for we were the ones who won all of the colorado delegates for we worked extraordinarily hard with our own time and we reached out to thousands of voters to get them to support us as and it one election and one group of it was from the local level up to the state it an easy we can do can you quantify how much support you currently have among the in one gotten commitments from delegates and in we have more than the others just ready to go public we have two different people who will go public and people who will but we have their we have a massive undercurrent of people who do not want this people who want to be the firewall the last line of defense against the destruction of the united states as we know and their ranks are only what do you mean by you i mean they are never they are a coalition of rubio and walker supporters who have put their names in our database and pledged that they will not be casting their vote for donald trump on the first ballot no matter do you need your conscience clause to pass in order for them to do or are they willing to vote against trump they will vote against trump even if the rule why are you proposing a conscience we believe the delegates are already but there is a group of delegates out there that going and i know them well because been active for they are the the rule been working for the been walking precincts and licking but they like they like to the idea of unbinding makes them the republican party tends to have a lot of these when pressure is being put on them by the delegation or the state or their or their rnc committee member fill in the blank the conscience clause will give them something tangible to point is an rnc convention rule that says i can do their permission people need but you no matter how much pressure is going to be philosophically motivated to do what the more you apply the more going to do the reflected in the delegates we have so now we need the grandmas to join what progress have you made since that big conference call on set up a people wanted to donate also set up a legal defense we had a lot of lawyers contact us and will defend any of these we are networking all of those lawyers we have some of the smartest minds in the country working with just blown they understand losing our and they understand that if nothing going to lose this rnc spokesman sean spicer has said free the delegates is nothing more than a media creation and a series of why did they have a conference call about it why did they pay to have the delegates polled to see if they support us or one of my fellow rules committee members got a phone call from a pollster asking where he stood on tell me not the trump campaign certainly seems to be news just broke that started to organize against their whip organization is going to have to fight our whip this is what politics we know up against a i know this is david and we realize but a i take it one step at a what are your next we have our structure in we have our whips in and the more pressure that is the more we have to flush our people there is strength in reaching out to grandmas and banking as many names as you what guy short and i are both reaching out to the rules committee i know i have to close my we need votes on the rules committee to pass the conscience do you have a sense of how many votes you have right i got four of guy and there many rebels on the rules committee which was released thursday what happens if you get to this over if the rule we have a plan b and a plan establishment people are putting incredible pressure on the rules committee hearing it on my being told that this is going to destroy the getting death threats on just the most vicious thing ever even gone after my daughter on say the rule plan b is to file a minority i will do i only need votes on the rules committee to get extremely confident that i will get to at that need of the convention delegates to vote with a steep say our minority report pass have to move on to plan which activating our activists on the convention we still have the right as delegates to make sure our ballots are not cast for and when things get how when they say the roll call for each our delegate and we have them in each delegation would grab the microphone and on international the tally of the delegation and the submission of the then the chair is required to poll the delegation to make sure the vote count is they can play a game like they did in when they turned off the microphone to prevent ron delegates from speaking ready for going to make sure standing real close to that this is supposed to be a jubilant is known for days of sunshine a year and great and love to have your tourism and casting ballots for our would spoil that i want it to come to i would love to have a smooth a fair as long as the process is be able to walk away without any if the delegates choose donald trump in free conscience as their the republican party will own but we need to have that say this your would you be happy if cruz mounted a comeback at the i i know reporters are your real this a cruz thing for all of us are in we will support anybody but this is a historical there has never been a time when the delegates were running a campaign against the presumptive nominee without a replacement our buttons should have question marks on or a picture of a we we freeing the delegates pointless without an alternative to nature abhors a when a someone will step in to fill critics are saying free the delegates will fizzle out by the time the convention comes i imagine that you what i bank i know that when the delegates are faced with the sanctity of their ballot all the pressure and tactics and fireworks aside they will take it very they will i actually vote for this and if honest with they will know that they you cannot tell me that a majority of delegates on that floor want in good to cast a ballot for the only thing that is keeping them from voting against him is the fear of and why to tell them they have to be the best

series of portraits of american evangelical christians in the age of donald examining the tensions and challenges in this group through individual i can remember moments of spiritual euphoria from my youthful days in church when i raised my hands toward the closed my and received a vision from the holy one of blacks and whites equal and it was a recurring image in my mind in those days of heightened religious and adulthood never stole the dream from i remained convinced that the teachings of the christian faith held the greatest promise for overcoming this is a common desire among christians of all political i grew up in a conservative evangelical and many republicans i knew believed that christianity had the potential to tear down the walls of racial and they hoped it would but like many i thought of racism and reconciliation in terms of individual relationships rather than in terms of systems and the true scope of what justice might mean had not occurred to and then in the age of things fell they had been unraveling for ever since america elected its first black setting off a slow motion backlash among some in president second term there came a staggering rush of video footage filmed on cellphones showing an established pattern of police brutality against and there was a growing popular awareness that history had been literally whitewashed in the popular glossing over the dark decades of jim for me it took the form of movies like which traces the roots of mass and from for the first about the tulsa race riots of and the destruction of the business district once known as the wall as i read more about this episode and others like i asked friends and acquaintances if they too knew about these they did but new calls for racial justice and talk of systemic white supremacy a system set up during jim crow with continuing consequences today mostly fell on deaf many white conservatives were sick of hearing about believing that democrats had cynically played the race card for black votes for it just been some whites who have been on a journey of discovery regarding the ways in which white supremacy was with effects that continue jemar a old phd student at the university of was just a few years ago a rising star in the branch of american evangelical christianity known as the reformed jemar tisby points out that the top star in the current arkansas state flag represents the jon more he wanted to bring blacks and whites together starting inside the church and had devoted much of his life to that but at the when discussing the black struggles with poverty and he emphasized individual moral failings and theological shortcomings in the black church more than systemic over the last few his focus has his study of the history of race and religion in america had turned his focus toward systemic causes of racial and the ways in which american history has ignored it comes to knowledge of our racial black we know our own he told me one night recently in his hometown of a mississippi river port writings and his the had helped me process my own evolving attitudes about in many though he was black and i was tisby and i came from similar backgrounds and had similar ways of the racial venom in our streets and our discourse grieved both of we both still shared a hope in the power and the teachings of the christian faith to overcome but reality looked the day after the election last tisby had been frank on his processing things in real feels like the work of developing racial unity among believers took a monumental step or it move at all and i just thought it was in a different place than it really he said and so in august i traveled to the delta to find out what tisby wanted to now that his dream one i shared had been so badly we sat on a porch in the drinking swatting searching for the morning after donald trump was elected learned the election result from they consoled one another with a words fail he he told his professors at the university of where a phd student studying the history of american race and that he needed to skip class that literally not feeling he told this sense that the nation what we thought it not what we hoped it at the very tisby said on his podcast that about this really felt like a gut punch that really pushed back everything been doing by several many of my bothers and sisters in the faith still understand where coming from as a racial he was tisby had been an influential voice for racial a process that he thought could and should begin with the with that in mind he had built an influential the reformed or which hosted the the podcast and published articles on race and the podcasts have been ranked in the top in the category on and website has hosted more than million but in recent years he had become a process that accelerated after and paralleled a growing sense of futility among other black evangelicals who had been working toward the same they were asking themselves a simple if blacks and whites who are brothers and sisters in christ cannot reach across the racial what hope is there for the nation as a a makeshift memorial in for michael who was fatally shot by police officer darren wilson on joshua more the shift in thinking began in with the shooting death of michael brown in at the hands of a white police a tragedy that elicited widely different reactions among whites and tisby noticed and became increasingly bothered by what he regarded as the indifference among whites to a pattern of police brutality against as he gradually become more outspoken about racial he saw white christians responding often insisting that he should talk about rather than the idea that if you start talking about social which how do you define then you automatically have stopped talking about spiritual or salvation and things like he we get a lot of i get a lot of conservative evangelicals also had an enormous blind spot concerning literally an inability to conceive that sincere christians could be my conservative theological you could be a publicly declared but if you were a publicly declared democrat you might get somebody who grabs you by the elbow and takes you off and whispers in your love to share the gospel with tisby so he has decided that he does not want to spend as much time and energy as he has in the past trying to reach and convince a white audience that they should care about systemic racial think a lot of us are realizing that without losing any love for our white brothers and it is taking our limited time and energy and resources to constantly address and educate he tisby was raised outside chicago in a home and after college at notre dame moved to helena in as an idealistic teach for america he took up the cause of charter starting as a teacher and then moving on to be the middle school principal at a kipp charter in he went to to study at one of the preeminent evangelical seminaries in the reformed theological he became assistant to and friends with the ligon one of the most prominent figures in the reformed wing of american this movement aimed to correct what it saw as a drift in american evangelicalism away from theological precision and toward a faith more oriented around man than it was around it was a return to and this movement has been a robust component of evangelical christianity for almost two decades tisby started raan at that he was becoming a key figure connecting christians and the overwhelmingly white evangelical tisby had been deeply influenced during his undergrad days at notre dame by the book by a baptist preacher from john piper was another prominent thinker in the calvinist tisby himself articulated some of this view in a blog where he lauded the approach of reformed but in the post is evidence of how much he has changed in five although he stipulated that white reformed churches had to learn from the black church overall critique of the church was he wrote that there had been an of ideas like legalism and prosperity theology into the pulpits and pews of black damage is evident as individuals in african american communities stumble and sometimes run toward sin and tisby lived and worked as an educator in the mississippi delta for seven the black community there is bruised by generational lack of poor health single parent apathetic and nearly every other social ill that yet the norm for my students and their families was to attend as i daily encountered the fruits of these dysfunctions i asked is the gospel john piper speaking in south in micah chiang via more this rhetoric from an was palatable to many white but they are much less inclined to agree with what been saying since that the black community has been and continues to be systematically disadvantaged by a culture in which whites dominate the power structure and whiteness is considered more valuable than dark skin in the collective when i asked tisby recently about his blog he completely rejected what he had represents an immature understanding of both reformed theology and the black church tradition on my the condescending tone toward the black church is reprehensible and he was searching for a way to communicate biblical truth to my students and their families in the i erred first by thinking they getting this truth in the first place and second by thinking that reformed theology as formulated by white men was the i would never write such a piece i need to take it he tisby and others at raan are in the process of changing the name of their the word will no longer be part of the he told me this was a to emphasize african american concerns and highlight the black church tradition while retaining a reformed theological election had capped his conviction that had been growing for that white christians did not really care that much about what he had to even if they were willing to politely was almost a slap in the face to tisby told man is dangerous to and i was go to the same churches with held my child in your and none of that has impacted you to the point where you would change anything what has it really cost white to have me in your what does it cost me to be in your he you certainly going to black coming to and as we come to our presence needs to actually make a difference it needs to actually change the way you do just asking for not in tisby quietly resigned his position as director of the leadership institute at reformed theological he has stopped submitting articles to websites like the gospel coalition or desiring which cater to a predominantly conservative evangelical tisby had once been in the forefront of a small but growing number of black ministers and leaders who had found common cause with the christian reformed some still remain in that but the support for trump by an overwhelming majority of white evangelical christians has deeply troubled many church leaders and trump election did it for for the first time i i think this is really going to get said eric a professor at moody bible institute in chicago who helped edit a book called glory road the journeys of into reformed in and a lot of my brothers still get it and i know if going to get redmond huge but for people of color it just means going to figure this out on our when i visited tisby in his hometown in we spent the better part of a day exploring talking about the events of the last few he said that his focus was moving toward speaking and writing for a black audience rather than for have a lot of white evangelicals coming to us through and that demonstrates a willingness to learn and a level of and ride with i mean not turning anybody but not chasing i think one way to characterize the he voters wait to cast their ballots last in alex more path shares similarities with that of other prominent black christian leaders who have spent significant time in reformed christian such as thabiti a anyabwile has been a speaker at a prominent biannual conference for reformed together for the in the past and has also faulted the black church for its lack of theological but he was one of the few religious along with the southern baptist russell to forcefully criticize anyabwile also publicly rebuked christians who supported and argued that evangelicals should support hillary clinton despite disagreements over issues like the backlash from white conservative christians to comments during the election was but in march of this anyabwile and others organized a conference attended mostly by black pushing back against pressure from within white christianity to stop talking about racial justice and the gospel coalition helped sponsor the part of tour through helena took us through magnolia a place of burial for population that had only recently begun to be reclaimed by members of the local community from decades of we walked down a gravel road past crumbling surrounded by deep forest on both sides and by the deafening chirping of summer insects in the am chastened a bit in my tisby he added that he was think i have a more realistic picture of what facing when it comes to race and the and america more this is a long and sometimes the best we can do in terms of success is to say we were we may not ever see the progress we but not despondent or i think bolder he tisby admitted he had been about some simply because i was he overestimated how easy it would be to bring about racial he said in subsequent conversations that he has not given up on the idea of reconciliation and still sees it as foundational to racial but there are many christians who are moving away from talk of racial reconciliation because they believe it white emotional catharsis with racial as erna kim with the christian organization put it lives insists on addressing systemic and white christianity is pathologically she this why people love a photo of a cop hugging a black but dismiss claims of systemic racism in it pretends that injustice is resolved when individuals but tisby given up on relationships with white he still sees it as during our conversation on the porch of the edwardian a bed and breakfast in tisby explored the paradox that while black progress requires overcoming systemic injustice and white christians are resistant to that so progress will depend on personal interactions among protesters march in boston against a planned speech a week after the violent the rally in virginia left one dead and dozens spencer more he concluded with an audible sigh that he and others will have to keep explaining themselves to often having the same exhausting conversation over and one person at a because this is a primary way that will make tisby affirmed that his identity as a christian supercedes his racial and this very belief that holds so much promise to many for racial why black and white christians have long held out hope of showing the way forward on their faith in passages like the third chapter of that all people are guilty of but are adopted into one family through salvific death and but after emphasizing this spiritual side of the coin for many tisby does not want to allow christian doctrine to be used as an excuse to gloss over the hard conversations around race that need to be tone has not to be but not to let people off the he know these this knowledge is always been tisby willful if not culpable for us particularly as christians not to know our history as a nation and a church when it comes to and not to respond read more from yahoo more

steny listens at a press conference on the house of representatives voted on a revised version of the financial rescue melissa more a decade after the the economy is unemployment is but in the debt is mounting and someday the next crisis will when it how will our current system our our ever more polarized our white our president joshua for is very concerned about our admits former chief of have to consider that with all the turbulence been through in the what is it months of the trump nothing external has actually gone there have been no the extent there have been foreign policy the same ones that all recent presidents have he have been some natural but manageable and there have been no economic financial crisis was by no means an idyllic example of bipartisan but on the really tough stuff that needed to be democrats and republicans did come together to take necessary but unpopular i have to question whether possible in bolten hope it he finally not if you talk to people like bolten people who spent and in the middle of the maelstrom most of them say the same the reason is they saw firsthand what it took to avert catastrophe back and they see a lot less of it in washington as the anniversary of the crash yahoo news reached out to a number of key players from that some are still boldfaced names some had starring roles at the time tarp czar neel top bush economic adviser keith some remained behind the scenes legislative liaison phil tarp chief investment officer jim lambright and key strategists for congressional many of these insiders disagreed on who deserves credit and both how much and for but all of them agreed on three essential elements that saved us from a second great depression then and a decade seem to be in short the first is is a word so overused in political and business bestsellers that been sapped of much of its but at the pinnacle of american public as this john dickerson recently wrote in his introduction to yahoo documentary series presidents lead it has been by men who on at least one occasion focused their and chanced their political on something larger than their of the easy or easy they took the long dickerson according to those closest to him at the bush displayed precisely this sort of leadership during his final months in on the president met with his team securities and exchange commission chairman christopher cox and top policy adviser joel among others in the white roosevelt when lehman had fallen on the administration had let it but when followed on it got a the moment had come to settle on what paulson called more systematic we bled to as he put from treasury secretary henry federal reserve board chairman ben securities and exchange commission chairman christopher cox and federal housing finance agency director james lockhart iii testify during a hearing before the senate housing and urban affairs committee on the bush administration officials were testifying about a proposed billion bailout they hoped would stabilize the faltering financial chip more it was to in most significant economic meeting of the president cut right to the this the worst crisis since the great he bernanke not seen anything like this since the and it could get by the end of the bush had approved billion rescue plan a bolten that have been for knew the political consequences would be bolten knew no democrat would like the idea of bailing out the and he knew most republicans would hate the idea of a bailout for so the remaining few percent of the electorate that was still supportive of probably beyond he knew the decision would be damaging to his which would have to take he knew but bush was convinced it was absolutely essential and there was no other as the meeting broke bush pulled each participant aside for a private he doing the right get through go get some he walked back to the oval office with bolten and dan his longtime history was on his this is roosevelt or he damn sure gonna be by all this is how bush operated throughout the as paulson later said in his goal was leave the country in as strong a financial position as possible for his may doubt but this is the in any accurate recounting of the financial you find the president playing politics with these decisions not one paulson amid the turmoil in the financial bush makes a statement outside the oval office on scott more even a fierce bush critic who then chaired the house financial services praises the president for privileging policy over do give george bush frank tells yahoo allowed bernanke and paulson to break with republican ideology gave them the license to ignore congressional who were threatening to attitude trickled according to the president made it clear that of the reasons he brought me on as treasury secretary is he wanted me to work with democrats and and from the day i showed he did everything he could to encourage to do just paulson forgot to confirm party affiliation until after he hired him at interviewed talked about what he wanted to kashkari at the very he by the are you a i i am a and the white house will but he have cared and i think he and bernanke brought that spirit to the financial they really just wanted to get the best politics came way as the administrator of kashkari made sure that we hired was with a career so that we could hand the new administration whoever it whether mccain or obama a fully functioning office with very little by kashkari was the only political appointee in the office of financial and though kashkari still identified as a he voted that november for obama because he was by the depth of understanding that was showing about the financial it was neel the treasury interim assistant secretary for financial speaks about a plan to ease mortgage payments for troubled borrowers through mortgage finance giants fannie mae and freddie mac on joshua more this largely apolitical in bridged of who wins the the issue of transition to the next administration is going to be very obama said that going to have to be executed with a spirit of bipartisanship and which to say that obama eliminated politics from their unlike a lame duck with little but his legacy left to the illinois senator still had to win an election and marshal as much political capital as possible for his such considerations came into play when obama railed against republican which he saw as the cause for the they came into play when he pushed back on executive compensation and for homeowner they came into play when he cut off communication with paulson immediately after the leaving the outgoing treasury secretary feeling little bit but also in do the unpopular things we needed to without the new the is that new administration is going to come in with a political says an incoming president afford to disregard rhetoric and optics the way an outgoing president yet what ultimately impressed insiders was how like set aside his immediate to pursue the greater when the first tarp vote failed and the second was for paulson called obama think going to be and i want to inherit an economic obama had told him in you ever think the system is ready to go and i can be let me obama personally phoned than a dozen members of according to his legislative trying to make the argument that may be it may eventually be a politically difficult thing for but the right thing for the presidential candidate barack obama arrives on capitol hill before a senate vote on the financial crisis on evan more cynical approach the political thing to do would be to make sure the full impact of the crash is felt before enacting a schiliro no one ever thought that we treated this as almost as if we were already in the white in november and as washington scrambled to avert the collapse of the big three obama was more active and assertive than any other in he pressed bush at a private meeting to support government then mediated between house speaker pelosi and senate majority leader harry reid when they were at loggerheads over in the following obama directed his advisers to open lines of communication to republicans as by a white house aide told the new york bush and obama were speaking than any of us during the obama tried to strike a careful on the one prepare for on the keep an appropriate everything you can to help the process obama instructed his get in the his mantra was only one president at a the approach confused or even worried when white house officials summoned their obama counterparts to office for an urgent meeting the sunday after their goal was to coordinate on the auto bailout but team obama we were give you a preview of what the loan terms give you the opportunity to approve or to work with us and to find someone jointly an auto to oversee the just to make sure everyone knows that the terms and conditions of the loans will be recalls director of national economic take it back to the and then they never gave us an even though we kept so we just went yet despite these the end says was tremendous amount of policy just before obama nominated for treasury secretary one of paulson and closest timothy then the president of the federal reserve bank of new congress released the second half of tarp funds to obama four days before his geithner asked kashkari to run the program for a few more and lambright stayed on as in early obama refused to nationalize banks such as citigroup against the wishes of his more liberal even though the new president adjusted auto he abandon took a little longer than we but at least there were people on the transition engaged with learning the learning the history and preparing themselves to own lambright thought those people were serious and easy to work given how politics works and how life the transition was actually pretty barack obama announces the economic recovery advisory board on obama named former federal reserve chairman paul to a panel that would advise on how to pull the economy out of university of chicago economist austan goolsbee would also serve on the more paulson inherited a bunch of programs that were very unpopular and a base that was angry at bankers and wanted to see them he i give him a lot of credit for continuing with policies that were very adapting them in ways that were unpopular and taking additional measures that were also was amazing i from both paulson both put the country two additional ensured that leadership at the top translated into results on the relationships and many of the unlikely relationships that shaped the period were forged in the best democratic collaborator was rahm says referring to the brash illinois congressman and democratic caucus chairman who would succeed him as chief of staff under more partisan figure probably did not but also a and if you can last through the first seconds of he had the most constructive nobody worked harder to pull the votes together for yet the most important bonds were the ones that predated the crash particularly the connection between paulson and democratic house speaker treasury secretary henry flanked by the house minority republican john boehner of and the house democrat nancy pelosi of discusses a bipartisan economic stimulus package on dennis more have a political system that like to come together and deal with controversial paulson in and i think people just magically came together because there was a i was very fortunate that i had a year before the crisis hit where president bush encouraged me to work with members of i worked with them on getting trade deals i worked very closely with nancy pelosi on a stimulus bill early had plenty of time to work the stimulus paulson is referring to as the washington post put it at the time the product of work of difficult that packaged billion in economic relief for and americans into tax then passed a democratic congress and was signed into law by a republican pelosi discovered during these negotiations that paulson was someone she could work with an honest a person of a person of knowledge and he had the confidence of the pelosi tells yahoo news would meet in this room called the it was where lawmakers used to go in the evening and play cards and have a little the press would never know we were there nor would our more we could just slip into that room and have our paulson was equally impressed with of that the and the president for that understood that notwithstanding her serious disagreements with the administration not only on iraq but also over economic was nevertheless willing to engage legislatively and says john chief of staff at the i think the fact that she was able to bring along her caucus and deliver votes and unlike her republican minority leader john who struggled to keep restive conservatives in line think that really did earn the lawrence is that when lehman paulson and pelosi have to face this terrible crisis right from the with no relationship because they were already working together on big problems before the they were ready to meet the challenge when it finally this sort of bipartisan respect some baseline level of not only between but also and our institutions of government is the final ingredient that made the rescue mission of and like the it also seems to be missing pelosi is still doing what she was doing years ago leading the house democratic but she believes under the norms of the presidency have we had the confidence of the we had the confidentiality of the discussion and we had a stipulation of fact as to what we wanted to achieve and what the numbers pelosi these are all things that are very lacking in this in a you have to know what the numbers are and recognize that not an opinion not house speaker nancy treasury secretary henry senate majority leader harry second from and judd announce a tentative deal on legislation regarding the financial crisis on lauren victoria more legislative is the bedrock of reacting to because if and when something goes congress needs to make sure the information acting on is he when a president believe anything except what i and attacks the justice department and other entities of the government when there are attacks on what people know to be true then that creates a trust issue when congress is relying on the white house for factual information in a needs to no matter who is in control of the house or the an institutional schiliro this institutional integrity gets hollowed out and as factual information gets hollowed out to serve political purposes it makes it very hard to react this administration may have fundamentally changed the and while it mean the next crisis will be it does mean the degree of difficulty will be even in the most terrifying moment of the cabinet room meeting that unraveled behind closed what could have come obama could have sprinted to the television cameras to spin events in his mccain could have done the and the partisan chaos that at that contained to the corridors of the white house could have spread through washington like fear was that they were going go out and you think that tarp is a good or think that going to be able to reach agreement on a recalls the director of national economic they said it would have unleashed the hounds for all the partisanship to come never be able to corral everybody and restore the cooperation that you need to get a bipartisan so had they gone after the cameras at that point in i think we lost the it was essential that they in the of they paulson ran to pelosi and legislative dan cornered boehner and senate republican leader mitch mcconnell mccain retreated to his the hounds of partisanship were kept at and for the most where they remained at least until obama became liberating republicans who had reluctantly cooperated with unpopular rescue plan to pursue their own political by opposing and obstructing the new democratic efforts to continue the nascent we were in the congressional majority and george bush was he got extraordinary says not only did you have this cooperation across partisan it was happening at the most politically fraught time in the american about two months before an so if people want to know when bipartisanship a the contrast between what the democratic members of congress did with bush and how the republicans reacted to obama is on inauguration as obama celebrated at various a group of top republican lawmakers met with former house speaker newt gingrich and messaging maven frank luntz at caucus room restaurant to plot their you act like the going to stay in the said california kevin gotta challenge them on every single as robert draper later reported in his book not ask what good we inside the house of the group agreed to united and unyielding opposition to the economic will remember this gingrich said on the way remember this as the day the seeds of were a week obama was scheduled to visit capitol hill to discuss his stimulus plan with house senate but in a meeting that minority leader boehner exhorted his troops not to support the bill and house republicans wound up announcing their opposition before the president had even left the white when the second half of tarp was released to obama earlier that only six republican senators had voted in fewer than had voted to release the first half of tarp to when stimulus package came up for a vote in the entire house republican caucus voted against republican congressional from house minority leader john jon and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell arrive to talk to reporters outside the white house on after a meeting with president barack obama to discuss the scott more single most important thing we want to achieve is for president obama to be a said mcconnell the following as a partisanship metastasized like a cancer over the course of the decade that followed the but polarization is not the root cause of our nor is the bigger problem is what made such partisanship so alluring and trump all the incentives in american culture point to and most of the structures that once encouraged collaboration have crumbled or been torn we lack rewards for and penalties for the internet and the iphone have atomized media and all of us into little the surest path to significance is to shout to be to stand to not be like the likes and followers now constitute and in the rush to accumulate these we forget to create a context in which people can solve to put it another if that calamitous cabinet room meeting happened no one would need a television camera to unleash the hounds of they could simply pick up their phone and hard to but founded in was still a niche platform in true that elites have failed the country in many but such failures in from the growing belief that elites exist at to make progress and overcome people must work over in a sustained and when disagreements as they always we need a forum in which to work

doubts surface about key witness in uranium one probe of clinton michael isikoff chief investigative correspondent yahoo news november photo yahoo ap getty images more federal officials have serious questions about the credibility of a key witness in congressional investigations of hillary role in the sale of a company to russian two sources knowledgeable about the case tell yahoo the a florida businessman and former fbi informant named william douglas was considered so unreliable that prosecutors dropped him as a witness in an unrelated case involving russian uranium according to the the investigations by two house apparently spurred by a tweet from president trump last focus on allegations about role in approving the controversial sale of uranium a company that owned american uranium to the russian atomic energy in campbell has suggested he can prove that approval of the sale was a quid pro quo for donations by parties to the clinton but there are mounting questions about credibility in light of his track record as an informant in a separate fbi investigation into a russian businessman named vadim who was in charge of operations for tenex a separate unit of rosatom that was not involved in the uranium one court records and interviews with the sources who are familiar with the case indicate that campbell provided key information to the fbi about a scheme orchestrated by mikerin to collect kickbacks from american companies doing business with the bureau enlisted campbell as an undercover informant who wore a wire in his conversations with russian but he proved a as a potential witness in the case when doubts arose about his descriptions of some events that could not be one of the sources as a prosecutors dropped extortion charges against mikerin that relied on was no question that credibility was such that had to restructure the the source got cut out of the case mikerin pleaded guilty to the remaining money laundering charges in august and was sentenced to four years in which he is still is a smear victoria told yahoo news when asked about the doubts law enforcement officials had about her was not the prosecutors removed him as a witness against she it was because obama administration want to bring a big extortion case against and risk testimony from campbell that would have undermined the uranium one sale and undercut the efforts to relations with so covered it she the questions about campbell and his purported knowledge about the uranium one sale have become a political lightning rod in recent with democrats charging they are only being raised now to distract attention from special counsel robert investigation into the trump campaign and its ties to the top republicans initiated the uranium one probes after president trump tweeted on that the sale to russia clinton help and obama administration knowledge is the biggest story that fake media want to two house panels subcommittees of the house oversight

criminal probe of the uranium one in announcing one of the congressional inquiries three days after ron chairman of the house oversight and government reform national security said he had information from a who he said be able to the obama approval of the sale of uranium one to russia to of in donations to the clinton the sale of uranium one was unanimously approved by the committee on foreign investment in the united states an interagency panel of nine cabinet members on which who was then secretary of who is expected to testify behind closed doors to repeated that claim in an interview with reuters this week for a story that named him publicly for the first he told the news agency that he had worked for the justice department for several and that he had that could show a relationship between approval of the uranium one sale by the obama administration and said her client was at the time of the interview because the reporter caught up while he was recovering from chemotherapy treatment for she said are in but declined to specify what they but sources with detailed knowledge of his earlier role are the sources confirm that campbell approached the fbi with information about role in a kickback scheme involving american companies doing business with the tenex unit of campbell was hired as a consultant to tenex and was also paid by cassidy a major washington lobbying that had been hired by tenex to promote its business in the the investigation that followed was a significant one far more so than was publicly revealed at the the fbi was able to trace million in bribes paid to mikerin and others and wired to offshore shell companies in latvia and intelligence officials suspected but were never able to conclusively prove that these payments ultimately benefited entities connected to vladimir but importance to the mikerin investigation faded after prosecutors discovered discrepancies in his account of his dealings with mikerin and other russian sources investigators also were unable to verify some of his more explosive including claims that he was threatened with violence if he did not participate in the scheme by helping to arrange kickbacks in exchange for contracts with the doubts were serious enough that the office in maryland which was prosecuting mikerin under the direction of then attorney rod now the deputy attorney general felt compelled to alert defense lawyers to there were also other questions about his including two dui convictions in and fearing campbell would not withstand scrutiny in open prosecutors dropped him as a potential witness and scrapped the charges against mikerin that would have relied on his those problems arose again last year when campbell filed a lawsuit against mikerin in federal court in accusing him of racketeering and seeking at the mikerin was already serving his sentence at a federal prison in north because legal proceedings were still pending against another defendant in the justice department prosecutors wrote to then accusing him of violating the terms of his agreement with the prosecutors threatened to reveal derogatory information to the judge about dealings with the government if he pursued the civil campbell later dropped the said that campbell would be able to tell congress that discussions about the uranium one sale were raised by russian officials during his dealings with but sources who spoke to yahoo news said that during the course of hours of interrogations by the fbi and justice department campbell never mentioned any connection between dealings

and make things work again by dislodging entrenched special interests and reducing the size of to that trump has promised to take on lobbyists and political and often boasts that he is not taking money from wealthy but close scrutiny of his proposals shows they would vastly increase the size of government and do almost nothing to reduce the national ryan also wants to restore confidence in government but by reforming it and reducing its size and in that he has spent the last decade working inside the system and with he spent the first half of the obama administration pushing a plan to reform medicaid and social with an eye to reducing government since the when ryan was the gop vice presidential he has increasingly spoken about the needs of americans stuck in cycles of poverty and

social media presence and constant video content out of his office are seen by the press as signs of pure political but more than ryan is also an who believes congress has to be trusted to media

get elected and then underdelivered on their from ending the war in iraq to repealing most immediate political concern is to maintain a republican majority in the a growing concern that with trump at the top of the the gop could lose its which had been thought the edge in the senate is slim in ryan wants to give republican candidates in competitive states or congressional districts a message to

to convict the president in the court of public opinion assuming comey is willing to play the former fbi director released a opening statement to the senate intelligence committee wednesday afternoon that gave the democrats several possible avenues for he wrote that the president asked comey to his investigation of former national security adviser mike who is alleged to have lied about his earlier contacts with russian comey also asked the longtime law enforcement official to pledge his to him in a private trump also repeatedly asked comey to lift the cloud of the russia investigation from over his according to the comey wrote that he attorney general jeff sessions prevent any future direct communication between the president and because he felt the attempts to isolate him were but comey

sessions had any other interactions along those democrats expect testimony will stick fairly closely to his written and will rebuff questions from lawmakers about the state of the investigation into

the new england we should marvel at their extended also why the cleveland annual incompetence is equally as though that sure seems to be changing not hard to figure out why things turn over so free agency picks apart the best and allows bad teams to reload in a in the first week of free all eight division winners took some have made some moves to balance it but none had a net gain early in thee hard to argue any of the division winners are better off today than they were on monday when the legal tampering period started new england patriots the patriots lost two of the free agents on the offensive tackle trent brown and defensive end trey and also defensive tackle malcom we know the patriots will outsmart everyone with moves michael bennett trade seems to be but they add pretty good at getting players later in the though they are also still waiting on a rob gronkowski retirement new england patriots head coach bill belichick has been great at figuring out when to let expensive players sign more baltimore ravens by the time hours had passed in the legal tampering the ravens had lost four defensive pass rushers terrell suggs and safety eric weddle and linebacker adding safety earl thomas and running back mark ingram clearly but they still lost a lot watched the browns get a lot houston texans two key pieces of the texans secondary left for big with kareem jackson to the broncos and tyrann mathieu to the they did add tashaun gipson and bradley roby to replace but rather have jackson and and they added any offensive line kansas city chiefs adding safety tyrann mathieu was a smart move but you still need to rush the justin houston was cut and dee ford was due to a scheme sacks leaving the adding defensive end alex okafor helps but not houston or dallas cowboys the cowboys come to an agreement with demarcus so they had to franchise that meant they really do much else in free losing slot receiver cole beasley chicago bears last year the bears were big and it worked out very tough to do that two years in a they were mostly quietly signing and losing safety adrian amos to green bay great they did get former packers safety ha ha on a bargain deal new orleans saints not much gained or though mark ingram to latavius murray seems to be a bit of a retaining teddy bridgewater is but help a lot right they could use another receiver but have much cap space to pull that off see if perhaps they land tight end jared los angeles rams the rams afford to hang on to guard rodger saffold or safety lamarcus and will likely lose defensive tackle ndamukong suh and center john the rams are still and adding safety eric weddle and retaining edge rusher dante fowler but probably not better today than they were at the start of free time for all of those teams to improve their although it seems like all the key free agents were spoken before before free agency officially started on there are talented players still and all eight of those teams started from a good of any of them could win another division title even with some personnel but we can already see the challenges elite teams it happens every just the way the league likes here are the rest of the winners and losers from the first few days of free with the caveat that plenty of teams have a chance to improve their teams beyond the first wave of player winners odell just imagine a few years saying someone moving from the giants to the browns was a sorry giants but beckham landed on a team with a much brighter he now pairs with one of the best young quarterbacks in the baker which is a big upgrade from the current version of eli beckham leaves a market that was infatuated with surely he miss being on the back page all the and he goes to a city starved for a if a big part of any success the browns have be a if the browns ever win a super bowl with reach lebron levels the browns are the winner of the not just for what they did but for the decay of the steelers and the afc north and nobody on the browns should be happier to be a part of that ride then former new york giants wide receiver odell beckham lands in a pretty good spot with the more brian and aaron rodgers as there are two obvious ways to help your one is stock up on pass catchers and but building a stellar defense is a close still strange to see the packers being aggressive in free after all the years of dormancy under ted new gm gutekunst clearly believes in using free agency as one tool in roster which he and he stocked up on the packers had to improve the pass rush and with former raven smith and former redskin preston smith is particularly intriguing because he can line up just about anywhere in the front and is coming off an then for good the packers grabbed safety adrian amos from the division rival the packers now can go into the where they have three top picks trade down with the saints last year will pay off with an extra without any glaring they could take a playmaking tight end at perhaps get help for the offensive line or continue to add to the front in a spot to take the best possible players that fall to the packers had a bad but still a lot of talent of maybe new coach matt lafleur helps as green bay have the splashiest but it could end up being one of the most nick foles did pretty considering hard to figure out who other than the jacksonville jaguars was bidding on foles got four which out of line for a starting though it does ignore his but who else was the miami dolphins even offering enough to keep tyrod taylor from taking a deal with the chargers to back up philip or to keep teddy bridgewater from going back to the saints on a million the redskins got case the giants are sticking with eli was there another team willing to go more than million a or even and if you buy the spin that they spent millions extra because they wanted players in the locker room to respect foles maybe it will work out and the jaguars will get the best of foles over the majority of that going to pay a lot to find quarterback nick foles starts a new chapter of his career with the more when the safety market was depressed last it was with the way the nfl is think athletic safeties that can do a little bit of everything would be in high this that corrected the redskins gave landon a very good player with some coverage million over six earl coming off a was given million over four years from the tyrann mathieu three lamarcus joyner four adrian amos four kareem jackson three kenny vaccaro four and tashaun gipson three also got large safeties are back in demand in the just check the losers running this is nothing running backs still getting you can easily find arguments over whether bell did the right thing by holding out last nuance to his new york jets deal that can be when it comes to guaranteed money and how it compares to other but a little more than million per season what he was also safe to assume tevin widely considered the back in the wanted more than two years and million incentives it can grow to with no signing but nfl tom pelissero reported the deal coleman settled for with the mark ingram actually got a decent deal considering his age and at three years and million from the but still not breaking the only a few truly elite backs are going to be able to get as much as bell going young backs with few miles on them like coleman will settle for much the market getting any better at the running back indianapolis colts something to be said about not blowing money on mediocre players during the first frenzy of the signing there will be a lot of remorse over the next few and after last master class in how to rebuild a team over one indianapolis colts gm chris ballard deserves the benefit of the it was shocking to see the team with the most cap space by far be so quiet in the first week of free the biggest acquisition was receiver devin and the best thing to say about the disappointing former deal is that it was only one year up to and the colts stuck with him long for a team with more than million in cap coming off a playoff it seemed there would be more than at least they give devin funchess more than one they did retain some key players like cornerback pierre defensive lineman margus hunt and guard mark glowinski to reasonable they just add despite more than million in cap space coming into free the nfl changes so reference that lead item on the division just because the colts are on great footing after a fantastic draft mean that path will remain teams often strike when the championship window is clearly because they know how long it will be before the colts were though they could have added any free agent they or or maybe look back and congratulate ballard for staying above the but it make the colts better right matt a lot has been said over the years about the track record of bill belichick assistants as head coaches the not one problem has been that old patriots coaches seem to have a blind spot for old patriots players of just acquiring good they look for the magic dust left over from knowing patriot and that brings us to the detroit the first three contracts the lions gave out were all a bit in their own receiver danny off a bad year with got one year and cornerback justin with career got million over four then defensive end trey flowers got a million his million per year is tied with odell beckham for the in the nfl among all deal is for million per and what did all of those three have in all former would amendola have gotten a look from the lions had he never played for the would a nickel gotten million a season had he not passed through new would the lions have paid flowers like watt had he come from the chargers or wherever a good bet the answer to all three questions is the patricia the first belichick assistant to be hypnotized by the strange allure of former new england he probably be the detroit lions coach matt patricia invested heavily into three former patriots players in free more cincinnati just say the foray into free agency get kudos on social the big move to start the week was offensive tackle bobby hart flamed out with the new york landed with the and started nine games at right he was pro football ranked offensive there are only starting offensive tackle positions in the the bengals paid him million over three everyone had a good their first outside acquisition was cornerback who is joining his sixth nfl team in six pro another move that impress the bengals came into free agency with roughly million in cap they exactly big spenders in free with outside players or retaining their so not a huge shock they basically watched the first week of free agency pass it might be a long year in frank schwab is a writer

flagship event in washington over the he did not mince words when it comes to his march today to affirm to all the world that science is exciting and he there have previously been protests such as those for or against nuclear power or genetically modified organisms but the march for science was in because of its relatively modest an endorsement of the scientific process and verifiable facts who earned ma and phd degrees in physics at new york represented new congressional district as a democrat from until when he took the helm of his current the largest multidisciplinary scientific he is also the executive publisher of science a academic yahoo news reached out to holt to discuss the importance of the march for why the scientific enterprise is being politicized and what supporters of science can do now that the march is in our collective this conversation has been edited for length and yahoo now that the march is what significance do you think it had for the place of science in our public rush the most significant thing about the march for science was not what any particular speaker said or what any particular sign but that for the first time in many hundreds of thousands of friends of science and scientists around the world turned science is not something that people typically have demonstrated and scientists are generally not the kind of people who like to go just the fact that it happened was truly as the organizers said from the it was meant to be positive and constructive and how did we come to the point where a discipline inherently nonpartisan and objective like science is being dismissed by a considerable portion of the population as political or one of the signs is not a liberal the fact that anybody would carry a sign like that or a sign like that would bring a smile tells us how far come what a hole we find ourselves in as a where we would spend our time trying to dismiss the idea of evidence rather than trying to assemble the best evidence on any when did it why are we hard to but it just start in i think people are realizing that at a crisis the fact that people would not just mistake evidence but actually dismiss or distort rush holt with bonnie watson coleman in she replaced him when he left mel more in your how much are science educators and public intellectuals like bill neil degrasse richard dawkins or sam harris helping to educate the public about what science is and what it the people you mentioned do a lot to help people understand what science is all i think going into the march for a lot of people bill nye is a television yes he and he uses his celebrity to talk about the importance of science in is that the wonderful thing about the march was that it was about the very idea of by seeking observational and answers to questions and then subjecting those answers to public critique and peer you can actually learn things and get a better understanding of how the world how biological systems and people that fundamental idea of science is not well and i think the march did quite a bit to emphasize this and why science is such a valuable way of march for science events around the globe how much do you think the oil and natural gas the tobacco industry before them or other vested interests are responsible for spreading the distrust of science that we see the conditions that have generated the concern that led to the march for science have been developing for a long the dismissal of evidence is partly the result of a distortion of no question that some special interests have spent a lot of money distorting evidence about climate change and a number of other public i hope what came out of the march for science was that science is not just another special interest that scientists correctly believe that engaged in a majestic enterprise to get at the to answer questions about the scientific way of thinking is one of the great inventions of the last to say that the march was about a narrow special interest group diminishes the majesty of scientists want their livelihoods but most scientists feel they are engaged in something more than just a workaday science has enriched improved qualities of life and saved now that the march is what can people do from here on out to support scientists and science in i think now the science community and friends of science are already engaged in capturing and channeling all of this energy and concern into steps to advance that will mean putting in place forceful procedures that make sure policies and legislation are based on they will work hard to see that science is communicated with the general public in a way that helps them understand that it is relevant and enormously that scientists will be working to develop a broad understanding that science is not some special activity for highly trained people science is a way of thinking available to and the beneficial output of science is available to the march came about because a lot of people felt that public understanding of science had that scientists had been too reluctant to step out of their labs and into the public that policymakers were allowed to ignore i

there is space for only some of it his supporters and much of the media like to call him the democrat version of president the truth is he is more like the democrat version of herman a reference to

and through our loyalty to our we will rediscover our loyalty to each when you open your heart to there is no room for trump laudable any time a leader seeks to make an argument for bringing people and america certainly needs to hear such but as a predictor for how effective trump will be in continuing to lay out such a his remarks on the topic were even in ronald first inaugural address in which was reportedly one of the few speeches trump consulted as he crafted his the former republican president touched on themes of overcoming hate and division that were pointedly missing from shall reflect the compassion that is so much a part of your reagan told the can we love our country and not love our and loving reach out a hand when they heal them when they are and provide opportunities to make them so they will be equal in fact and not just in there was an echo of this in argument that loyalty to country will produce loyalty to but reagan also heavily emphasized compassion and elements largely missing from president trump waves during the inaugural carlos more logic was that love of country can overcome but that is an ahistorical patriotism has often rather than suppressed racism and systemic oppression of if trump displayed more interest in the principles of the constitution that the rights of men come from god and not from respect for the rule of checks and a balance between the will of the people and the moderating influence of government institutions there might be less concern about his absolutist talk of to the country he now leads and before his trump raised his right hand and promised to and defend the constitution of the united but as he spoke moments trump told the crowd that he had taken oath of allegiance to all and the fuel of candidacy was anger against a roster of villains including the media and so his candidacy drew the support of white nationalists who encouraged by promotion of the theory that the first black president was not an authentic american saw in him a sympathetic there has been a strong undercurrent in support that white americans who make up the overwhelming majority of his supporters have lost cultural and political power over the last few decades at the expense of gains by minorities and these are not entirely baseless white americans are certainly not the overwhelming majority they used to and they will continue to decline as the dominant yet whatever trump might have done in the past to encourage this by winks and many hoped he would strike a more inclusive note and appeal to something even higher and deeper than country to the common humanity of each his speech did not do president trump takes the oath of kevin more the case for trump is that he encouraged americans of all colors and

extending parts of or the affordable care and many conservatives in a compromising mood after watching republicans fail to repeal and replace the aca on their first attempt six weeks they felt like

continued bill speaks as dean and lindsey listen during a recent news conference on health alex more each side feels burned by the behavior over the past roy said the recent stampede to the left on

asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the united states or your current immigration in other people who came to the country outside regular channels are specifically permitted by law to seek another key difference between asylum and refugee status is that law requires the president to impose a cap on the number of refugees who may be admitted to the country each while asylum grants are

were though the international agreements that form the basis of american asylum law did not emerge until after world war the concept of displaced people fleeing violence and persecution is as old as but as political global conflicts and societal norms have changed and evolved over so too have legal standards for receiving this evolution is reflected in the history of asylum which were initially tailored to accommodate specific groups in need of refuge at the the displaced persons act allowed hundreds of thousands of europeans fleeing political or religious persecution after world war ii to resettle in the during the congress acted to extend asylum protections to people beyond though subsequent cold legislation largely reserved refugee status for people fleeing communist countries like the soviet north china or or repressive middle east in congress passed the refugee which is still in it was a comprehensive revision of federal immigration law that established a legal definition of

united affirmatively and the affirmative process requires first submitting an application to the citizenship and immigration services within one year of arriving in the followed by fingerprinting and a background check an generally lasting one to two with an asylum officer who will determine whether the applicant meets the definition of a refugee and is eligible for applicants may bring an attorney to the as well as any witnesses to testify on their if an applicant is unable to speak it is up to him or her to bring an interpreter to the the defensive process involves requesting asylum as a defense against deportation in immigration a much more procedure in which an immigration judge hears arguments from both the asylum seeker may obtain a lawyer but is not provided and an attorney from immigration and customs enforcement on behalf of the individuals who are deemed ineligible for asylum through the affirmative process are referred to an immigration judge by uscis and given one more chance to make their case in a defensive hearing before they can be others either wind up in the defensive process because they were caught inside the in violation of their immigration status or were apprehended while trying to enter the country without proper documentation and placed into expedited removal that last scenario is where the concept of comes into in congress established the expedited removal process to enable immigration officers to quickly deport certain noncitizens without going through full immigration court the process has primarily been used for people arriving at the border without proper documentation including those who present themselves to border officials at a port of entry and those caught within miles of the canadian or mexican borders less than two weeks after entering the country recognizing that the population of people subject to expedited removal would likely include a certain number of potential asylum lawmakers were careful to carve out a mechanism in the law to ensure that the did not inadvertently send people back to face violence or possibly death without first giving them the opportunity to pursue an asylum under that border officials must ask undocumented immigrants encountered at or near the border whether they fear persecution if returned to their home if the answer is the immigrant is referred to a uscis asylum officer for a credible fear screening a preliminary process that typically lasts less than an hour and is now often conducted over the it is meant to determine just if a person has a of persecution

will be ordered but they are first given the chance to appeal the asylum decision before an immigration who can halt an expedited removal by overturning an negative credible fear for all the complications and roadblocks it the expedited removal process deterred people from seeking asylum in the from fiscal year to fiscal year the number of credible fear cases completed by the customs and

preventing the trump administration has taken several steps to restrict access to following january executive order on border security and immigration enforcement john head of the uscis asylum released updated lesson plans for asylum officers conducting among the revisions was the elimination of a section discussing authority to grant discretionary parole to asylum seekers who passed the credible fear interview and were not considered a security threat or at risk of becoming including attorney general have at least partially attributed the surge in credible fear claims to this policy which went into effect in january in order to be released from ice custody pending a full immigration court asylum seekers were required to submit requests for parole in in january uscis director francis cissna announced that the agency would be switching to a first system of prioritizing most recent affirmative asylum applications in an effort to deter illegitimate applicants looking to exploit the backlog and long wait times as a means of obtaining work in the simply submitting an asylum application is not an automatic license to work in the but applicants do become eligible for work authorization either once asylum has been granted or if more than days have passed without receiving an initial response to their so the most significant changes have come not from uscis but by the justice department and specifically who has wholeheartedly embraced the uniquely broad authority he wields over the immigration court in a foreshadowing speech at the justice executive office for

argument that trump has not expanded the gop jon ward senior political correspondent may republican presidential candidate donald trump walks to the stage at a fundraising event in on may mike more there is more evidence now casting doubt on donald claim that he is expanding the republican additional data from the gop primary shows that increased turnout in several primary states was driven largely by republican voters who have historically skipped primaries and voted only in general trump has boasted that he is drawing new voters to the political process and to the and the theory of how he might overcome the growing demographic advantage in key swing states where white voters are no longer dominant majorities rests on the assumption that nontraditional many from the white working have been flocking to the polls for the first time in their lives in order to cast their votes for primary election statistics collected by politico first cast doubt on that and now new data voter files combined with field polling from these states collected by a republican data analysis firm that worked for florida marco presidential campaign lends more weight to the conclusion that candidacy is not or particularly for the general there is a significant caveat to all an unknown that be even if support has come from traditional republican the question does this surge of new primary voters predict a wave of entirely new voters who will come to the polls in the general election is a far bigger event than any one so participation is easier for voters who follow politics as closely as those who vote in and of the other significant question is whether likely democratic nominee hillary clinton can turn out as many voters as president obama did when he ran in and this also is a big what is clear the data so far does indicate that trump has not yet significantly grown the republican there are small numbers of new voters who came to the polls this and in one state new hampshire that might be enough to help trump but in several other swing states ohio and michigan if the democrats can reassemble the obama new support is not enough to the data and analytics firm that worked for focused its analysis on a few key in there was a stunning turnout in the republican primary on march more than three times the number of primary voters in came to the a total of of that or were regular primary but they were swamped by voters who usually participate only in general that group made up percent of the republican primary electorate in younger voters who eligible for previous elections and those who moved into the state made up only percent of the more than million primary voters were new a total of new to put that in look at the general in in president obama defeated republican nominee mitt romney by almost obama received votes to so if you add the nearly votes to a republican but the democrat recreates turnout is not a sure thing the republican is still votes and keep in mind that the virginia primary was one of the most closely contested in the gop trump won the state in this but with only of the he got but texas ted ohio john kasich and retired neurosurgeon ben carson received a combined many of those republican voters will turn out for trump against even if they opposed him in the but some to go optimus looked at the results of almost telephone surveys it conducted around the time of the using those the firm built a model of the virginia electorate and found that of the percent of voters who were new to the primary but usually voted in the general vast were voters who were already likely to support a republican this confirmed that the primary voters were almost all regular republican voters who usually cast ballots only in a general election in the fall they are not voters or traditionally individuals who crossed the same dynamic occurred when looked at the buckeye state saw people come to the polls for the republican primary this up from in and in of some percent were regular primary and percent were regular general election voters only percent were new yielding a total of roughly romney lost ohio in by so while new voters would get trump closer to winning if clinton were to maintain the obama it get him over the the same scenario played out in where there were a lot of new voters this year about even romney lost that state in by in new there were new and romney lost there by just in that was the one state surveyed by in which primary election numbers indicated a better chance of winning than romney had in but flipping new

leading figures in the compromise of which after a deadlock in the electoral college delivered the presidency to republican rutherford hayes in exchange for a promise to end was a jewish congressman from louisiana named william i i had to look it and only after some digging found the relevant passage in historian vann account of that catastrophic vote in the house of which ushered in nearly a century of disenfranchisement and oppression of southern and now that i do let me say loud and clear that while ending reconstruction in that way was a terrible it has nothing to do with because i there but the fact that this took place before any living jews were born much matter to louis the nation of islam it was farrakhan who introduced me to treachery in a speech he gave last year at the watergate hotel in washington some of what he had to at approximately the the deal was that when we were abraham lincoln sent federal troops into the south to make sure black people were treated but the deal was if you let rutherford hayes be take all the federal troops out of the south and you all can go back to doing what you that was the great betrayal of the american negro in to the jewish people in this you transcript reads were but after listening to the speech i believe a transcription but there was a jewish man named levy who was in congress and he sold the agreement and it became policy and reconstruction was so jews down to the present are tainted by that the spirit of william levy lives on in i like to think that if been i would have opposed the end of but how can i be i

misrepresents the historical largely through a process of cunningly selective quotation of often reputable but farrakhan is still going on about the jews who ran the slave trade years an obsession he shares david duke another belief he shares with duke and a common theme among going back to nazi is that jews are promoting homosexuality and farrakhan is an outspoken homophobe and managed to conflate his two hatreds in the day blaming the jews for this filth and degenerate behavior that hollywood is putting turning men into women and women into after tweets began the march organization

persuade immigration agents that they really had fallen madly in despite the fact that they met the week before and one of them needed a green pence kept referring to trump as and good as if he quite sure whether the two of them had yet reached a basis and it was safer just to be a trump interrupted pence constantly and actually granted him permission to speak for himself out more than trump ticked off accomplishments in indiana as if he had just hired a city while pence smiled governors find themselves patronized very not hard to see why trump seems unenthusiastic about his and why he apparently dithered over it even after offering the the legend of trump is that he never does anything room for small is how speechwriter put it in the part of her convention speech that room for small but pence is a classic halfway and trump seems bent on making him look plenty in trump faced a choice when it came to picking a on one there was a lot of pressure to choose a running mate who

wanted the you could make a pretty strong in that christie was owed it was after who took down marco rubio at exactly the moment trump needed him and as a recent chairman of the republican governors and a favorite of the conservative christie was the first serious party figure to swing his support to trump at a critical moment in the primaries for which he absorbed no end of scorn and and christie had the national standing to fill the could you imagine him pussyfooting around with good in a national tv letting trump tell him when it was ok to speak his trump have and if he those two guys would have ended up rolling around on the expensive biting each ears but christie a reassuring and he likely to broaden there a dozen new jerseyans who would vote for him again at this and party leaders were disgusted by his slavish embrace of candidacy while they were still trying desperately to stop nor was the party brass going to feel especially soothed by newt another strong personality who appealed more to trump than to social or michael flynn a former general and political who uttered my favorite line of this convention so about war is about at least pretty sure what he i have no idea and so it was that the blustery boss who goes all in for whatever he wants and bends all others to his found in this first big that presidential politics has a way of bending you somehow he was persuaded to split the in doing he got pretty much nothing beyond a running mate who causes him no and willing to bet still pence has a calming effect on republican leaders and religious who consistently describe him as but he does nothing more to reach women or skeptical independents than christie or gingrich would have and while trump seems to like pence he evidence a ton of real respect or personal comfort with his if the cbs interview is any rather than on the brashness that people seem to like about trump chose a subordinate who makes him seem more imperious and more for who was in for a tough reelection fight in the calculation here is either he wins the second highest office or he establishes himself as a formidable national either set up to pursue the presidency on his in four years or in except for the not insignificant i that the rest of the campaign looks like that first public and that somehow pence ends up a diminished version of the national candidate he could have having introduced himself to the public as a guy who lets himself be told when to speak and what to pence has a big moment the opportunity to make his first impression on a national maybe

keirstead would not have entered the race if i did not think i was going to win and congressman vulnerability was certainly part of been a staunch defender and advocate of things that are kind of wacky and not on the radar screen of the constituents here and that includes his longstanding advocacy for keirstead glanced out the has he been dissected he has he been challenged at first dana rohrabacher seem like one of the most vulnerable house last he defeated his democratic opponent by more than percentage and registered republicans outnumber registered democrats by more than points in his which stretches from seal beach to laguna beach and includes some of wealthiest and most traditionally republican in orange county has long been known as the birthplace of the conservative but several factors are suddenly weakening hold on the and even the congressman acknowledges that he be able to coast to victory this time trump did not win in this and that has given democrats hope that i will be rohrabacher tells yahoo not taking this for i never take anything for the first factor working against rohrabacher is simple while republicans still enjoy a local registration it has shrunk by nearly a third over the last years as area voters become disenchanted with the national direction and discouraged by the state decline flee the gop and reregister as democrats or the second factor is donald who consistently underperforms among the sort of republicans who exemplify orange county no for that hillary clinton won the in a first for a democrat or that in the neighboring retired marine doug another finished a mere votes behind his entrenched republican darrell there are four house republicans whose districts overlap with orange county and all four now rank among the top most vulnerable gop incumbents in the in election prognosticator larry sabato recently moved from to citing in the district and the quirkiness of the incumbent that brings us to the third factor jeopardizing with several probes into russian election interference now new information seems to surface daily about the trump possible coziness with the kremlin and the only washington politician who appears to be even cozier with the kremlin than trump is during his visit to robert angeles times via getty more this exactly breaking after winning his congressional seat in but before taking rohrabacher joined the afghan civil spending some time with a unit of mujahideen assigned to take out a soviet position near he soon realized as a young he had been communism all this but not the after the soviet union rohrabacher made it his mission to the way for russia to embrace as a recent los angeles times report put it and he has spent the last three decades unapologetically with russian carrying legislation and advocating for the country and against an approach that has earned him the nickname favorite got to know then the deputy mayor of while drunkenly him over who actually won the cold stance has attracted a fair share of controversy especially in recent as concerns over election meddling have rohrabacher has defended michael disgraced former national security he has dismissed claims of russian human rights abuses as he met with and then accepted a donation from former trump campaign manager paul who was lobbying on behalf of a political party in ukraine at the he tried to travel to moscow shortly after president inauguration but was stopped by his fellow california republican ed chairman of the house foreign affairs also scuttled plan last year to screen a film in in rohrabacher met in berlin with lobbyist rinat who was present at the june trump tower meeting with donald trump in the new york times reported that the fbi once warned rohrabacher of efforts by russian spies to recruit and just this a complaint was filed with the treasury department accusing rohrabacher and his former staff director paul behrends of violating sanctions when they accepted act material from the russian office and used it to try to undermine the legislation in rohrabacher disputes that russia will hurt him in even as he concedes that his views are constituents will not be bought off by what trump calls this onslaught of story after story about how heinous some aspect of russia rohrabacher tells yahoo there are a number of people who are going to totally disagree with me and the president that we should in any way cooperate with the i believe my constituents will vote for cooperation but and most there are rivals to before the congressman had only faced two serious in next open rohrabacher is set to compete against at least three if not more including who is described by a democrat with knowledge of the race as top democratic recruits nationwide this laguna beach lawyer and entrepreneur harley rouda has raised to newport beach architect laura oatman has raised and keirstead has raised despite declaring a mere two weeks before the end of the second with months to go before election the field already includes seven one republican and one no other congressional race has attracted that many democratic candidate harley more the result could be the most telling contest of according to a june democratic congressional campaign committee republicans now hold a negligible edge in congressional party preference in the and a majority of voters there disapprove of job if democrats want a preview of what could happen to a trump in particularly among mainstream republicans and independents in key suburban districts and if they want to know which issues and candidates resonate with that pivotal segment of the electorate there may be no better place to look than dana given the recent top challengers shy about mentioning putin rouda tells yahoo news when asked whether relationship with russia will be an issue in the general help but trickle down to oatman hard to keep up with the every day a new story about special counsel bob broadening i think going to hear more about keirstead would really encourage congressman rohrabacher to come clean on let it all because all three insist and democratic strategists agree that voters in the district may wind up caring less about the ins and outs of the ongoing investigations than about what russia obsession a lack of they to more pressing local clearly a big issue for says less of an issue as we sit here right now for republicans and independents except in the sense that starting to wonder why rohrabacher spends so much energy and resources on behalf of putin and russia rather than focusing those assets on helping the constituents of the architect turned democratic candidate laura oatman and her dog gracie at a café near her home in newport andrew more when asked to name a constituent concern that rohrabacher is rouda and oatman all singled out the same climate a national mason university poll showed that three in four independents up percentage points since spring and nearly as many liberal or moderate republicans up believe that climate change is private polling shows a similar dynamic at work in the hope for democrats is that climate change environmental issues in could help drive a wedge between the incumbent who once joked that flatulence may have cause global warming and moderate coastal here are oatman know climate change is not a not a chinese hoax and we could potentially be impacted by that a lot sooner than we if got a climate change denier in office not addressing that in any shape or form kind of in his own as part of a national wave of rookie democratic candidates inspired to run by the to rouda and oatman tout their lack of political experience as a keirstead is the trying to cure cancer and run a startup at the same he he help to remedy of health care assuming a lead role in the fight to improve rouda is the republican turned democrat who broke with the orange county business community to renounce his political party and who believes he can bring other republicans and oatman is the architect turned mother of five turned resistance she thinks her training as a problem solver both at work and at home would help her represent who lives here in orange whether from spyglass hill or balboa each democrat is careful not to alienate conservatives a necessary precaution in a red district where recruiting democratic voters is keirstead likes to describe himself as and socially and he openly admits that his views are little edgy for the democratic wants congress to crack down on medicaid cheats and scrap tax rouda points out that vast of americans to see their government provide the appropriate services and support for its citizens and they also want to see that everything is properly paid and even who got her start in politics by founding a postelection facebook group called orange county progressives embrace term progressive can mean the wing of the democratic but in my mind it was about progress people moving oatman need to be able to listen to not just those who are going to vote for you or donate to and i think the key to that is trying to stay away from labels as much as rohrabacher sings a song he wrote entitled bless our while giving a tour of his rayburn building office to roll tom more none of which means that rohrabacher is far from the power of incumbency is the congressman currently has more cash on hand than rouda and oatman combined a former folksinger longtime surfer aspiring screenwriter and early proponent of marijuana legalization he be easily pigeonholed as a trump and he knows from his time as a reagan speechwriter how to convey a kind of plainspoken charm on the the rest of chamber of commerce remarks which touch on his it proposals for tax and health care reform rich liberal democrats who think that because they live in a gated community and i live in a little house in costa mesa that speaking for our district i think they know what this district is rohrabacher noting that he used to go down at the wedge in high think of me as being this conservative with all the stereotypes of what they consider that to but i have a ronald reagan positive and that is what has guided even orange county democrats are as oatman puts are at least to secret groups that i know of that have started since she are mostly registered and they are looking to flip these close result last time in the was a beacon of hope for all of adds helped us to understand we can do in that resistance groups such as indivisible oc are putting an unprecedented amount of pressure on rohrabacher and it seems to be getting under his organization acts like a bunch of rohrabacher growled in june when an indivisible member him with an invitation to the town which he promptly threw to the congressman participated in any live town halls with his constituents since the members of indivisible marched to huntington beach office on to deliver valentine cards asking him to hold a town hall leonard orange county register via zuma more the question now is whether rohrabacher can regain his composure in time for next election or whether democrats can continue to keep him off is a says has a tremendous amount of marketing presence because his name has been around so but this will be the first time his viewpoints have ever really been looked the first time had

that we would reconsider cruz circumstances we will always assess changed the texan also declined to endorse is a choice every voter is going to have to cruz told is not a choice that we as voters have to make a group of top cruz supporters organized a conference call monday night urging disappointed cruz delegates who have to pay their own way to the convention not to make other plans for july to according to politico the goal was to deliver rallying cry to supporters about the importance of showing up in cleveland and not ceding control of their slots on the platform and rules to find out more about curious remarks as well as the plan for cleveland unconventional spoke to former virginia attorney general ken the archconservative who led call after serving as top delegate hunter during

actions speak louder than now going to be in a war with see if he takes and holds positions under fire for long periods of the so what did you tell the first thing i talked about on our call monday night me be very clear about what this call is we are not trying to undo the presumptive nomination of donald end of but there are other things to do on rules and on your team worked aggressively to ensure that delegates were elected at the local and state levels so they would be in place to support the senator during multiple rounds of balloting in now some of those delegates can get on the rules committee and the platform where they bound by anything but their own do you think they could have a big right the largest bloc of voters elected to the convention by loyalty are cruz by we have twice as many as what are the at this those numbers are about for cruz versus for talk about the what will delegates be fighting the platform has been an area of interest for conservatives for a long time and that has not it is an expression of on an ideal a republican is supposed to it sets the some issues like the protection of we have to have the votes to keep the abortion plank the but there are new ones if going to deal with the silliness on access bathrooms and ridiculous that we need to do but we obviously do then we will do we want to express what we believe and make sure firmly rooted in the since clinching the trump has already departed from conservative orthodoxy on taxes and the minimum is he a threat to the i want to overplay that remains to be not sure care at what about the will the cruz folks be battling it out with the trump folks on the rules you seem to be inherently casting this as cruz people versus trump but when it comes to something like the this is very much the establishment versus the and i think you would find an awful lot of overlap between cruz and trump delegates in that look at and how it infuriated a lot of myself when the additional oppression was applied by the establishment folks with rule decreed that a candidate must win a majority of delegates in eight states or territories to be eligible for the it was a great irony that the two candidates who got over the threshold this year were the two most antiestablishment candidates in a field of trump and that was certainly not the intent when that rule was put in so an example of a rule that the grassroots might fight the establishment one example would be to forbid the rnc from amending the rules in between on cruz seemed to open the door to resurrecting his campaign circumstances why did he say what circumstances would have to change for cruz to reenter the probably the death of donald ted is a he is a literalist in many the kind of constitutionalist he and sure there is some theory like if trump did something so unbelievable that even his own people threw him then in that wild ted rule it it sounds like cleveland might be exciting after i hope so since

some details about the bill drafting with which he said could appear as early as this yahoo do you think that president trump will be true to his word that the rescission of the cole memo will not impact legal marijuana i do believe he will be true to his and certainly has over the last several weeks since the agreement was entered into remained true to that his commitment was reconfirmed multiple times by the white house legislative marc as well as sarah huckabee sanders during the live press briefing carried on national this is something the president has agreed i believe he will hold to his end of the and i believe we will also be able to work together on a approach to resolve the conflict between federal and state mile high green cross is a recreational and medical marijuana dispensary serving the greater denver located south of the shop is one of many that makes up the vince denver more were there any stipulations when trump told you he would support a legislative there were no stipulations that he placed on it but that mean once we get our bill drafted which in the process talking to republicans and democratic members of the senate who are involved on this issue they may not embrace the language they may want some see how that but i envision the president changing his mind generally from the idea of letting the states make this i know still in process but could you tell me a little about the bill working on with your colleagues toward this this is a rights this is a federalism bill that says if a state like colorado decides to move forward on medical recreational cbds which is a medical cannabis compound that make one that that activity is going to be legally carried it opts the state out of the marijuana provisions of deferral of schedule while this change schedule at it simply says if the state wants to do it no longer violates the so if oklahoma wishes to maintain a prohibition on then it would be illegal under state and local law in but as far as colorado there would no longer be an illegal when can we expect this sort of bill to going to have a meeting this afternoon in my office with a number of senators on both sides of the going to talk about the concept and framework of the it could be as early as later this week or it could be a couple of weeks from we quite decided exactly the time cannabis on display at denver the pot shop purports to be the oldest marijuana dispensary in having opened its doors in the shop is open for both colorado medical marijuana patients and recreational cannabis vince denver more and then the hemp farming which to help hemp farmers and what sorts of barriers do they currently this gardner and michael senate majority leader mitch hemp farming act of a bipartisan bill that would define industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity and remove it from the list of controlled substances legalizing it if this would reconcile the current contradictions between state and federal laws over several years back when i was in the i sponsored legislation with mitch mcconnell a pilot program within the farm bill for states to move forward with this under certain what the legislation does now is remove hemp from the schedule where it never should have been in the first this is think is a great alternative to a lot of excitement in i visited a number of hemp farms and from fabrics to medicinal this has a lot of economic development potential that farmers who are looking to diversify are very interested we have historically low commodity prices right and if you can shift out of which people are losing money and into where they may be able to make that means able to stay on the that means the next generation is able to participate in the family right that legal cloud over hemp may jeopardize that continuation of the family farm or family this is a good step for economic opportunity and to make sure that we keep our agricultural roots some in government are confused about the difference between hemp and it the politicians who grouped all species of cannabis as a schedule drug back in the what could be done to educate government officials and the public about the difference between hemp and and why this is so and marijuana are both species of cannabis classified as a schedule drug the same category as but they are cultivated and used marijuana is smoked or consumed for medicinal or recreational on the other has many other such as creating skin dietary supplements and health i think a great this comes down to on every aspect of it comes down to what the industry what it what is medicinal what recreational what hemp that means we have to take the time to visit with members of congress and their staff to have people from the industry visit with their staffs back to take the time to educate members through policy position through through the work we do at conferences and this is going to be a lot of just walking beating down the halls of congress and making sure people understand what dealing a organizes and inventories marijuana at the health a medical cannabis and recreational marijuana dispensary in vince denver more do you think states should still worry about do you think backed down or do you think he still wants to send federal prosecutors into states that have legalized i think the president of the united who the attorney general works has made it very clear what his objectives this is something the president said in reiterated to me in a very public fashion what we need to do now is not sit back with the status quo but work for a resolution of this conflict so we provide certainty once and for i have a related on the issue of criminal justice a lot of people are serving harsh sentences because of the almost draconian laws that surrounded do you have any thoughts on the war on drugs and the effect it had on there has been a great deal of discussion on this over the last several senator mike lee republican from and senator chuck grassley republican from put together some sentencing reform last congress because of some of the disparities in this perhaps could be viewed as one of the ways to address some of the sentencing while also addressing a rights issue that probably is one of the most significant federalist advancements that this seen in back to your upcoming could you tell me a little bit more about the role elizabeth warren is playing in this the lead democrat on this effort is elizabeth when this first the reversal of the cole memorandum back in i had a number of conversations with senator we had a meeting in our office with a number of senators who are interested in finding a it was clear that elizabeth warren and i were thinking about the same kind of approach on a federalism

over the past couple of we added a lot of professional messaging and social media and got three different areas at the center where we have people set a space where any group can drop a lot of the have people just hanging out and it restricted to only our we had a clear leadership structure in place and we could have pulled off something ok with just the but we have six new interns who are in undergraduate communications and political science they have experience beyond what we they started this and we split them up into six different one is doing another is on press releases and a third is working on website a clear chain of and our director can now think big picture rather than putting out fires all the a weird it feels like it is a grassroots political campaign for city we have a big room where we hold larger organizing meetings and trainings and then shut off the lights when we need as part of the deal was that we use electricity that we need to the larger peace trainings are in the bigger many of the groups are bringing large numbers of people stand together against trump command courtesy bryan more we just finished a nonviolence training session in one of the smaller we expected five people to but we got more like to half were people who heard about us in the media and wanted to and been getting more and more of those people in the past few we know that a lot of our contingent is protesters who been in this situation we have to get them ready for a conflict we try to put out very simple messages because how you get people to remember them during heated the goal of the training is to give them core principles to come back calming listen if other people are yelling at affirm the other person and respond the right other protest groups may not have spent as much time focusing on nonviolence and creating a culture of protest during an entire convention but we thought this moment was both because of incidents in baton rouge and but also because of the nature of trump and his we really felt like violence would hurt the end so why we spent so much time on today there a lot of large protests in the so we decided this morning that we would chill a few hundred bottles of water and then members would gather downtown to distribute water on this hot hand it out to whether a trump opponent or actually looking for people who an group would not normally reach out and we mean that to be condescending to like to have a conversation with someone who believes in the second someone who has their firearm with and if they want a bottle of happy to give it to them no

international community is approaching this issue differently than in the given inexperience and past controversial statements about alliance a number of asian allies are nervous about a strategy that is edging him closer to a red and the possibility of a preemptive strike that could have existential consequences for south korea in think now is the time to abstain from tough talk that might send

facebook post describing feminists as and declaring he expects his fiancée to fix him dinner every and while he insists he supports his particular way of doing so seems to reflect something about the moment as gender is back with a vengeance in political not that it ever went away but as recently as the last midterm elections it had settled into somewhat of a background the benefits and challenges of running as a man or a woman were studied and the candidates were oblique about using whatever advantages and weapons they might biases were more often of the unconscious or unspoken not trump and his appeal to toxic and then the response to that in the form of been a says erin an associate professor of political science at west virginia university whose research focuses on gender in feel more

says kelly dittmar of the center for american women and politics at rutgers which has just launched a project called gender watch to monitor the ways both men and women portray themselves in the trump

strategies may not apply but the new ones are not yet the focus on more women running can distract from the larger dittmar question of whether we will see stasis or change is not entirely about how many more women might but rather how much the candidates across genders will disrupt some of the norms of this masculine beyond the number of folks that are we need to look at how are they how are voters responding to their how are men and women balancing the traits of masculinity and it is still the early but already there are examples of candidates feeling their way as they breastfeeding for

addressing the traditionally feminine areas of family and a single she speaks often about the issue of kinship care and the fact that the definition of family should be broader than just blood or so

grand and inspiring rhetoric with which donald trump launched his presidential campaign in watched the trump said dealt with them if you make a good deal with a then something wrong with certainly not very or maybe we should go back to the first republican debate in cleveland when trump flatly leaders are our politicians are while eight of those politicians stood mute onstage and grinned because everybody knew trump really be the nominee so why make a whole big scene by refusing to be bullied and got to wonder if some of those guys took just a little satisfaction last week in watching trump fail to cut a deal with his own party on health you have to imagine that jeb bush or john kasich was sitting in front of the tv thinking to to the because right about now it should be dawning on trump that politics just business for stupid a reason so little gets not saying trump bring undervalued skills to the because he a guy put together megadeals in real estate or entertainment is going to come at a political problem more strategically and maybe more pragmatically than some of the career legislators who probably win a negotiation over bedtime with my but anyone had considerable success in both business and politics and i spoke to a few leaders like that this week could have told trump that ramming legislation through congress the same thing as raising up a casino or a the principles that work in one arena necessarily translate to the in real even a deal unusually complex is a relatively straightforward everybody wants to make money either off selling land or developing everybody has something the other guy you negotiate your way to the bottom of the and then you run the always another or tract of or car the psychology behind all smart business if not willing to set your final terms and walk not coming out a a negotiation like the one trump just is more like buying a building from a small army of owners rather than one or and all of them split into factions that have entirely different got to get and any individual or small group can be a holdup or pop up with some new mark who made a fortune off mobile phones before becoming governor and then told a little like in there always or ever another congress you can turn this law or no which means you just lay down your terms and walk as trump tried to you have to keep coming back at and you have to realize that some of the factions may have zero interest in getting to which is really never true in a business as johnny a senator who built a real estate business in puts sold thousands of houses over the and i never sold a house to someone who want to buy and i never bought a house from someone who want to in your leverage is always the money you bring to the table or some essential resource you in especially in the age after the only real pressure you bring to bear as president is the public you do much cajoling or threatening of reluctant legislators if boasting a percent approval rating and you just call up the public approval bank and borrow another points at a discounted plenty of people will enter into a real estate deal with a guy they like even if he has a reputation for filing frivolous lawsuits and welching on in the political trust and constancy are the only tradable the shiftier and more erratic you the less anyone feels like betting his future on your soothing unlike in most secretive business the various offers and counteroffers in washington are played out in which means whatever you do to win votes among one faction will cost you support in another as soon as you hang up the be trump the first president to find all this hard to our last three presidents had decades of political experience between and all of them stumbled through missteps in their opening squandering their governing majorities in the if half as smart as always telling us he then he has more than enough capacity to get this he still has plenty of time to go back to the table and put together a health care deal that the problem for trump is that he seem to have learned any cautionary lessons from the he still seems to think nothing wrong with his nascent administration that be fixed by a few bromides from art of the practically the first thing trump did after watching the health care bill crash and burn was to announce a new initiative aimed at making government run more like a this he entrusted to his jared who used to control a tiny newspaper and a bunch of real estate that he bought with his but who now has a white house portfolio that includes negotiating middle east peace and reinventing trade all because jared majored in government at so he knows what you blame him for the health care since he was off skiing in aspen while it was falling what trump needs now the comfort of what he needs is to take a look around and realize that his team of amateurs even think about stealing doris kearns up to running a white he needs to put a few people around like maybe his pal chris christie who have some grasp of the tradecraft of politics and know something about time for trump to put away all that contempt and admit that politics is actually just as hard as if not and not exactly killing it like lyndon it look like ready to do and if i were one of those accomplished politicians trump slammed onstage at that first debate and many times be tempted to call

but it was actually a matter of quite a bit of controversy the first time it when william henry harrison died in kalt president tyler said that he was now president and other people looking at the constitution we think just acting what is section section details the process for filling a vice presidential if there is no vice the president shall nominate someone to fill that he or she will take office following confirmation by a simple majority from the house of representatives and the this section has twice been used since the amendment when vice president spiro agnew resigned in then president richard nixon appointed gerald ford to be the new vice the following when ford became president upon he appointed nelson rockefeller to take his what is section section states that should the president inform congress that he is unable to the powers and duties of his the vice president will become acting president until the president is once again this has been used most often in situations in which the president is under sedation for a colonoscopy or a similar medical presidents ronald reagan and george bush both invoked the amendment in this what is section this is where things get a bit more section outlines what should happen in circumstances when the president is disabled but cannot or will not declare this this might be the situation if the president is in a coma or his plane he is the administration cannot communicate with him and no one knows whether alive or a situation like kalt thought it was important to have a according to section if the vice president and a majority of his cabinet say that the president is disabled and cannot the powers and duties of his then the vice president becomes could section be used to oust in his new york times douthat argues that situation is not what the designers were but that the inability to is testified to on a daily basis by his the things that these members of his inner his personally selected say daily through anonymous quotations to the i assure you they say worse off the they have no respect for indeed they seem to palpate with contempt for and to regard their mission as equivalent to being stewards for a syphilitic douthat who earned his juris doctor from yale law school and researches structural constitutional law and that using section in the case of trump be a really bad he believes that commentators like douthat and cohen might think trump is nuts and unfit for the but says that the fact that still lucid and able to communicate would make problematic the use of section as a means for removing him from if vice president mike pence and the majority of cabinet were to declare that trump is pence would temporarily assume the role of commander in but then trump could easily come back and declare that he is just in this pence and the cabinet would then have four days to reiterate their declaration that he is if they failed to do trump would have his power if they did reiterate their then congress would assemble within hours and vote on whether they think trump is able to the powers and duties of his pence would stay on as president if he could secure a vote in both the house and the senate that trump is unable to be the president loses that vote he can always keep coming back and now and again congress would have to kalt section it bears pointing has never been the importance of the period kalt discusses the amendment in great detail in chapter of his book he said that commentators often get a very important aspect of section according to his reading of the if the president were to say he is not he would not retake power immediately because of the waiting the law scholar said it would be very dangerous if the president were to regain his power right he took power back he would fire the cabinet and they be able to say that he was and not the right they would you fire the acting president would say that president and the president would say in there would be two sets of people saying they are the here is the complete text of section of the amendment the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive

that was over the full of apparent and deeply the man who in had treated electing trump as a moral imperative now characterized his support as and cast himself as persecuted by fanatical trump haters who endeavored to flay he lamented the earth policy toward anyone who expressed utter contempt for the current and accused trump critics of losing all perspective out of their fear and have we seen such behavior in the on the part of christians for whom the idea of grace had previously been ironically it has been when christians have felt that the end of all things was that we were in a brawl with the scaly soldiers of so that our opponents can be given no more charity than we would give a vampire about to rise from his metaxas such times we have been willing to throw all caution and charity to the wind because we have persuaded ourselves that we were truly dealing with the forces of and to do less than to wage all out war without regard for any niceties would be like appeasing or the devil here was metaxas accusing his critics of the very alarmism he seemed to have been guilty of during the when he said if trump lost america would slide the the when national kathryn jean lopez asked metaxas far away is any kind of real threat of our ceasing exist in any real metaxas hillary is less than two he said he even referred to hillary clinton as in a tweet in his email to he went on to compare his critics to belying his own complaint about those who reduce their opponents to the level of or the devil metaxas said that demands to denounce trump were very different from germans being expected to say sufficiently loudly and when i asked metaxas about his he shrugged it off as a goofball to read email was like entering a house of it was not trump who had aroused and played upon xenophobia as a candidate by his endless talk of a wall between the and and his slur of mexican immigrants as and his talk of banning all muslims from entering the and manhattan were engaged in a and accepted tribalism and against european and in favor of i had asked metaxas about a critique of his approach by john a law professor at washington university in louis who is one of the foremost experts on religious a topic central to metaxas denounced the idea of extending religious liberty to muslims in terms so extreme that it appeared he was determined to cross every red line he had set out at the beginning of the know that satan always comes as an angel of and need never be caught but neither must we be caught sitting our hands and allowing such to have their standing against the islamization of europe or america is an example of christians caring for least of as caring for those enslaved in the false ideologues of and most notably the women in that who are doubly metaxas the cultural elites and progressives scorn these vital efforts as is but not as painful as standing by and allowing real people to one does what one it was a device metaxas relied on heavily to paint opponents with a broad brush using the most extreme or negative and thus view the topic as dispatched and metaxas firmly planted himself on the side of the common folk against he protested the and attitudes of media who he said believe americans are too uneducated or too gullible to properly understand all that confusing news in its raw but when it came to the topic of many racially charged comments dismissing or demeaning minority metaxas hesitate to take the view of an elite who knew what was better for those communities than they did metaxas been perceived as wrong by certain by many we need to take that perception but just how seriously is the larger are we not living in a time when everyone is far too easily so much so that we are taking our eyes off what actually off actually solving the real problems of people rather than giving politically correct lip service to those by and metaxas avoided the most substantive critiques of his support for trump by labeling all his critics as or or he called them and this was after beginning his email with the complaint that of the saddest things about the period in history through which are living is that come to a place where graciousness and empathy and trying to see the other point of view has fallen by the the easy explanation for all this is that metaxas started hosting a daily talk radio show in the spring of on the salem radio a national distributor to christian radio and adapted his views to suit his but some have wondered if he had been a closet fundamentalist in an clothing all and the new spotlight on metaxas in revealed to those who engaged in a closer reexamination of him that his rigor as an author and thinker had come under question years the wild success of his bonhoeffer book had done much to obscure the fact that the book was scorched by bonhoeffer has a very shaky grasp of the and ecumenical history of the hence he has pieced together the historical and theological backdrop for the bonhoeffer story using examples from various sometimes completely out of context and often without understanding their wrote victoria director of the holocaust programs on and the who worked for years as editor of the english translation of complete the book is a written to make the case that bonhoeffer was in reality an evangelical christian whose battle was not just against the nazis but all the liberal christians who enabled barnett added in her result is a terrible oversimplification and at times misinterpretation of the theological and ecclesial world of his and the history of nazi it may that an eagerness to embrace easily digested narratives while overlooking or dismissing nuance or complexity is what has led metaxas and many evangelical christians to adopt very dark apocalyptic view of the as peter wehner a conservative christian new york times columnist and former white house adviser to president george bush described it to when metaxas described a or fascism imposed by cultural in his he was deadly it was a reference to the sexual revolution that began in the and is still shaping american it goes to the root of why metaxas supported he sees secularism as a religion whose adherents are blind to their own fanatical teaching of unbiblical views of gender and sex to innocent children in our public schools is effectively to have allowed a secular religion being defined by a certain set of views toward the ultimate such as the definitions of what constitutes a human being and what constitutes become metaxas in a recent interview on his radio metaxas spoke with german sociologist gabriele kuby about her book global sexual destruction of freedom in the name of metaxas opened the show by reading from core of the global cultural revolution is the deliberate confusion of sexual it is the culmination of a metaphysical revolution as a shifting of the fundamental ground upon which we stand and build a even a instead of desire being subjected to moral and transcendent the identity of man and woman is dissolved and free reign given to the maximum fulfillment of polymorphous with no ultimate purpose or metaxas finished reading the quote and gushed to saying a worldview dealing with ultimate but not labeled a labeled a kind of freedom from but in fact it is itself a he for as for many promises to appoint conservative judges to the supreme court was key to halting the steady imposition of liberal but who is just as conservative about sexuality and gay marriage as said he found the metaxas view of the supreme court so that it a degree of ignorance that was surprising to just predict how many appointments are gonna be said a harvard law graduate who has focused on constitutional you have a clinton presidency and it goes and then you have a ben sasse well then gonna have the if you have a trump presidency that goes and then a kamala harris well then gonna have the number we necessarily know how the court will so for the most important religious liberty case of arguably the last two decades was evangelical lutheran school versus and that was the obama administration effort to bring federal law into the pastoral hiring incredibly and it lost nine to nine to french lot of the culture issues that are decided with the exception of gay which was already decided many of the cases are on the edges of free speech whose book argues for a public square in which conservative views on sexuality can coexist with progressive said that the election of trump has been a hollow victory for conservatives who care about religious important to emphasize that most of the policy shifts are happening by executive order or executive branch unless the tone of the democratic party changes these changes will be undone the next time we have a democrat in the white inazu told me by conservatives who think they have ear and think they are winning protections for their religious liberty interests are fooling inazu when it is going to be only way for to pursue cultural and legal support for religious liberty is by partnering effectively and authentically with christians and in ordinary that would be a tremendous inazu rhetoric makes it almost especially when celebrity evangelicals like metaxas back him so enthusiastically and ignore the real harm and damage of the in the landmark book scandal of the evangelical historian mark noll began by writing that scandal is that there is not much of an evangelical noll quoted from charles a lebanese diplomat and eastern orthodox who criticized the preoccupation for winning souls without giving much care to the life of the malik not only to win souls but to save if you win the whole world and lose the mind of the you will soon discover you have not won the it may turn out that you have actually lost the beyond pragmatic and strategic there is another christian critique of the metaxas view of trump that gets to the heart of what it means to be a follower of justin giboney is a in atlanta who is from the world of democratic politics he worked in senior positions for former mayor kasim reed who holds conservative christian views on abortion and he an the to advocate for issues of criminal justice while retaining that have long been traditional in the religious but while giboney feels strongly about social christians like him are much less bothered than white conservative christians such as metaxas about becoming a cultural minority or one of the politically many white giboney have had addiction to seeing how after having that power for some people got dependent on that giboney have the luxury to have that we had christians who voted for trump suffered huge loss of giboney hard for me to believe that god wants us to get this agenda through by any means hard for me to believe is that all about just getting it done and not to worry about the details and how we got giboney better to think i reflecting what god would of course strategy involved and you want to get but i think wins are the where metaxas and them went wrong is that wins and power became the a faithless point of he this was a common thread among those evangelicals and christians who might share views on social issues but who believed voting for trump was a violation of what they stood where was the role of actual faith in voting for they many conservative white evangelicals who supported trump have defined the role of faith in the election this they bought into the narrative that trump was an answer to their prayers for deliverance from the liberal and that trump is just evidence that god works in mysterious the counterargument is that far more faith in god was required of a conservative christian to reject promise of but that this was the proper because a vote for trump amounted to polluting the public good while engaging in what giboney called politics of christian french broader evangelical community showed a lack of many people were genuinely afraid that they were going to see the church face real persecution if they did not vote for donald it in the words of a friend of a vote cast in you know the kind of thinking that writes god out of the french think that was writing the role of god in maintaining and preserving and upholding and building his own church it was writing that role down and writing up of more importance the role of and i think that just gets it exactly in a email metaxas left no doubt that he viewed the stakes in as all or who think the church in america might have survived a hillary clinton presidency are something like the devout christian germans who seriously and prayerfully thought it unchristian to be involved in opposing hitler because to do so would have dirtied their hands with he he do i mean to compare hillary to but the principle at issue is the same but a few lines he seemed to imply that a clinton presidency would have brought america closer to mass dramatically tried to wake the church up to its role many years before the nazis were murdering precisely because he saw where their ideology was and of course he shall we too stand by because things he the issues of family and personhood fundamentally shape how metaxas interprets a month before the metaxas wrote an for the wall street journal that hinted at how he saw a vote for trump as a vote on behalf of other many of this is very pulling the lever for someone many think but please consider a vote for donald trump is not necessarily a vote for donald trump it is a vote for those who will be affected by the results of this metaxas where many saw a vote for trump as supporting the demonization of minority groups and the destabilization of the metaxas believed he was looking out for vulnerable people in communities by standing up for nuclear families and traditional sexual yet while deploring that his critics make no effort to understand his point of metaxas showed little inclination to reexamine his own a sense of victimhood dominated his responses to my think of all the other men and women i admire who have expressed their support for this and who have all been insulted daily by those cultural mandarins who treat them as beneath as though their votes are dirtied with and tribalist nationalistic metaxas he spoke of his own who voted for and bristled at the notion that anyone would call his father a it is still hard to view who spoke at the national prayer breakfast and described martin luther king as a role as a poster boy for culture warrior luther king told the people on the buses that you must not fight you must be willing to turn the other cheek or get off the branch rickey told jackie if you want to win the you need to do as jesus did and be strong enough to not fight back so your enemies will know that there is someone capital s standing behind that not just metaxas all of this has left several friends of metaxas befuddled and is dear friend among his many one of the funniest people i have ever wrote john who edited a literary christian magazine called and its closure in support for even more his doubling down on that dismays me the same i am sad and troubled when i see so many people some others who are also my consigning him to outer darkness with relish there is something strange about this moment in something unprecedented that is evident in the words of friends like in normal friends of metaxas who disagreed with him politically would consider it barely more than a nuisance easily overlooked in light of their many shared and even more so because of ebullient and mirthful the human is to find a way to make but trump is so disturbing to many that they cannot bring themselves to simply shrug it off and move as much as like in told me privately that they find

them grave concerns about the independence and integrity of the justice department and the ongoing but the choice by deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to appoint mueller places the investigation outside the reach of influence from the white both because of the way a special counsel is authorized under the law to and because of reputation for integrity and rosenstein did not consult with the

lawmaker could force a reluctant congress to take a is congress running way from its the campbell told yahoo news in a telephone there anything left to the requirement that the role to declare the white house says it would welcome a vote authorizing war on the islamic but aides also say obama has all the legal authority he needs and warn that the president would not accept restrictions from congress on the kinds of operations he could republican house speaker john boehner says call lawmakers back from the campaign trail to vote if only obama would formally draft a resolution authorizing the use of military force an and submit it to leaders of key committees say they are looking to vote on authorization after the november or perhaps in when a new congress a vague calendar that hardly guarantees not altogether surprising to campbell that everyone seems to be dodging the in april determination to put the serbia air strikes to a vote was an embarrassment for who showed more appetite for grandstanding over impeachment a few months earlier than for sending a clear message about republican speaker denny hastert and democratic minority leader dick gephardt asked campbell not to force

campbell then led a bipartisan group in a lawsuit based on the war powers but an appeals court ruled that they lacked the legal standing to bring the and the supreme court declined to hear the so should someone in congress force a vote and would he or she fare any the starting place for any action is still the war powers a law born of congressional anger at the way successive presidents expanded the bloody conflict in no president has ever recognized the statute as setting constitutionally valid limits on the commander in but campbell relied on the war powers resolution to force at on two kinds of measures a declaration of war and a concurrent resolution demanding that the president withdraw american forces from the law enables a single lawmaker to avoid grinding legislative process and those but to benefit from that accelerated a declaration of war would need to be introduced within days of the president formally notifying congress of military in this the clock started ticking on and will run out after the november after a lawmaker introduces those the text goes to the relevant committees house foreign affairs or senate foreign the war powers resolution requires the committees to report the resolutions to the floor for a full vote within six days for the declaration of within days for the a potential choke point in the if the committees a majority of lawmakers would have to vote to move the measures directly to the if a majority does not agree to do the measures could languish in though chairs could face immense public pressure not to obstruct a vote on

would require a president to accept limits on the executive power or a congress willing to impose its will by cutting off funds for military action and both are extremely in the campbell acknowledges

he would have voted to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme so bredesen brought up his kidnapping and her work with female victims of sexual assault and domestic explaining that protecting women was an issue that was very personal to contrary to what his opponent had impediments that women and being taken seriously in their allegations and the stuff they go through in trying to report crime this has been front and center for for a bredesen said during a campaign swing through east tennessee last where he interrupted his usual stump speech to make a specific appeal to women who are by his stance on kavanaugh and his handling of harassment not a subject that i am obtuse to at built into the dna of our he i want anyone to ever doubt that i have zero tolerance for that kind of bredesen was largely pushing back against blackburn against the backdrop of the has attacked his handling of sexual harassment cases as suggesting he tried to cover up allegations against his in at least two interview notes taken by an investigator looking into harassment claims were shredded a policy bredesen has defended as a way to protect the identity of because the notes were subject to the open records but it was a policy he quickly ordering his administration to preserve all records after he reached an informal agreement with local media to keep the names of accusers going to come forward if on the front page of the he but blackburn has pointed to news reports at the time which found investigations into harassment allegations against senior members of the bredesen administration appeared to be handled more privately and with less paperwork than in government positions a discrepancy that bredesen said was based on different legal protections for civil service positions and his own executive was a path for friends of phil where sexual harassment claims where and there was also the path for everyone and what blackburn said at last debate in voices of those women were they

the vote would ultimately go before announcing his phil bredesen campaigns in johnson holly more public poll numbers have dropped significantly in the last two a cbs poll conducted during final days

advantage among likely female voters in the the times poll found blackburn with a lead among women over a result within the margin of error but worrying to who has described himself as an of both parties throughout his political acknowledged that his decision to speak out in support of kavanaugh had likely cost him and he acknowledged that his decision to speak out about his kidnapping and her subsequent work for rights was motivated by his desire to correct the perception that protecting women had not been an important issue to he said would have preferred to leave conte out of the conversation because he still regarded the incident as a personal only reason i am talking about it now is just the context of the he asked how his experience and her work had influenced his thinking

some republicans have including president he said did not believe ford was a believed her more than i believe he but he criticized the in which democrats had sat on information for and republicans had allowed only a cursory fbi absolutely thought it was unconscionable not to do a serious investigation of the he was no excuse for and i even imagine why anybody of either party would want to sweep it under the rug the way it was kind of bredesen defended his decision to wait to announce his thinking on arguing it was what a responsible senator would but also acknowledging it was a personal he talked to talked about it quite a he was a difference for me between what you emotionally and how you exercise your asked if conte agreed with his decision to back bredesen said there was domestic he

chemical attack that reportedly left dozens dead in that country and blaming former president barack obama for not doing more to get rid of white house press secretary sean spicer read the statement in his daily press briefing on where he also faced questions about the trump position on the reported chemical attack came on the heels of a series of comments by spicer and other officials last week indicating that president trump is open to having assad remain in a policy spicer said reflected the in the syria has been torn apart by a civil war since and the chemical attack occurred in an area held by rebels fighting according to local there were dozens of including who displayed signs of chemical the recent remarks from the trump administration are a marked departure from the posture of his who repeatedly said assad must go and provided training and equipment to the obama administration also called for the syrian leader to be prosecuted for war the previous administration did not commit american military power to ousting spicer started the briefing by reading the white statement on the which was sharply critical of handling of the situation in chemical attack in syria against innocent including women and is reprehensible and cannot be ignored by the civilized these heinous actions by the bashar regime are a consequence of the past weakness and said obama said in that he would establish a against the use of chemical weapons and then did the united states stands with our allies across the globe to condemn this intolerable speaking to reporters last secretary of state rex tillerson suggested the trump administration would not focus on ousting tillerson said should be by the syrian nikki the ambassador to the united was even clearer when she told reporters last week that the is no longer to sit there and focus on getting assad spicer echoed those comments in a briefing last week where he described assad as part of a reality we have to in a statement released tuesday afternoon tillerson further called on russia and both of whom provide support to to help prevent further such call upon russia and yet to exercise their influence over the syrian regime and to guarantee that this sort of horrific attack never happens tillerson the guarantors to the ceasefire negotiated in russia and iran also bear great moral responsibility for these in the first question came from fox news jon who asked spicer for on the position on syria following these recent spicer pointed to his opening then suggested the statements by tillerson and haley to the political reality of the situation in he said there had been in the past to look at regime but there is now a different spicer also said trump is conferring with his team and but does not want telegraph what going to is not a fundamental option of regime change as there has been in the i think we would look to some rather silly not acknowledging the political reality in existence here and that what we need to do is fundamentally do what we can to empower the people of syria to find a different said white house press secretary sean spicer chip more continue reading yahoo news then asked spicer if he was concerned that between the alleged chemical attacks and the views enunciated by tillerson and spicer insisted that the change in tone reflected an assessment of the power balance in not a warmer attitude toward not a comfort level with i think the political said being i think the idea that someone would use chemical weapons on their own people including women and children is not something that any civilized nation should sit back and accept or and i think that that is what we are making very clear yahoo news pressed spicer by noting that comment in particular was a change in and asking again whether the white house believes there is a correlation between this shift and from said he added that the president is by the reported chemical continues to meet with his national security and i think there will be further discussions around the globe with our allies as far as the appropriate spicer regime has been supported by in the trump urged obama not to attack syria during last presidential trump called for focusing on toppling the jihadist group the islamic which has taken territory in rather than that mirrors public though analysts have alleged that airstrikes have focused

to expose an assassination yahoo news reached out to stopfake ruslan deynychenko to hear more about propaganda media literacy and how disinformation chips away at faith in stopfake ruslan deynychenko courtesy more yahoo how successful has russian disinformation been in fomenting distrust of democratic institutions in ruslan they were pretty successful in the beginning because there were no reactions from we take them seriously and we allowed them to have at least three tv networks that were still broadcasting in we pay attention to that until when our team and some other people from ngos and government realized not a a huge part of what happened to ukraine happened because we pay attention to russian they brainwashed a lot of they fueled these which helped them to take a part of which is the crimean a lot of people who were brainwashed wanted to be part of the russian or russian you said russian propaganda is not a when the russian propaganda first started coming did people think of it as a joke or did they think it was in the beginning we found it funny when the daily news was full of strange in when we started our we discovered they had hundreds of stories that never happened that were in the it was funny at the but when people started to kill each when we saw all these casualties in crimea and that was not i think our team and the government convinced ukrainians and others that russian propaganda unfortunately it and we need to do the measures that were conducted helped us make them look not a lot of ukrainians right now i believe to percent still consider russian media a reliable source of the other ukrainians are sure that russian media are propaganda the stopfake project has grown into an information center for examining many aspects of kremlin can you comment on its impact on countries in the european union and former soviet now we travel a lot and try to share our experience with people from the baltic moldova and eastern european our message to them is that russian propaganda might work differently in your they can deliver different messages to your and it might not just be russian in balkan it might be serbian or other types of but our main message is to not ignore it and find a way to protect your people from being have the same messages used in ukraine been applied to propaganda in the united states and i think there are different sets of messages for each whether eastern baltic the united states or great the main approach is to find your discover existing conflicts and fuel restrict people and achieve goals that you with conventional to influence the politicians and destroy the faith of people in democracy and to persuade them that everyone this is their task in different but the specific messages might be they try to find appropriate messages for each in it might be in european it might be but the approach is the when did stopfake realize that russia had launched a multifaceted propaganda campaign aimed at disrupting the presidential election in what was your we prefer not to say something that we cannot prove and have evidence we monitor russian messages concerning we suspect that they tried to influence the and of now seen the preliminary results of the we just see why they would not like to use the same weapons against their enemies in different parts of the why we try to persuade members of the government and members of the intelligence communities from different countries not to ignore this of only the local american people who understand the local can discover the ways russian propaganda tried to influence what advice do you have for increasing media how can one better deduce whether a story in fake or we have a section on our website where we explain to people how they can distinguish or at least be more aware of fakes and how they can check information online or from people can be more media literate and responsible in consuming in we banned all russian television and social in our case it was essential and helped a when russian soap operas and talk shows are more efficient to ban them than to teach every single person how to protect themselves from these do you think the russian hackers exploit western values to further their i have no doubt that russia uses every way to reach influence undermine democracy and undermine our they did you prohibit russian this is another this is another source of but in our and i think we prove it with our thousands of stories where we caught them deliberately disseminating disinformation and we proved that this is not traditional this is not about another about the only way we can protect people from being influenced is first of all to avoid like a like comparing a restaurant that serves the best food and one that poisons the next day the regulator will come and close that i think regulators must do the same in this context for people who deliberately disseminate fakes and given what you just i think readers are going to wonder about your opinions on free speech in ukraine and whether it applies to russian what are your thoughts i support free speech and a but i consider propaganda to be we mix the right to express oneself and the right to deliberately disseminate these restaurants should have the right to serve different kinds of food but not poisoned we should protect ourselves from being the idea i in our russian propaganda is poison for our why i think their right to express themselves should be at least in we should not fall into this trap and treat russian propaganda as free they want to persuade us that they are another opinion and part of but they do not do they just manipulate people and nations and interfere to create conflicts in different parts of the the huge difference i they

columnist yahoo news january yahoo news photo getty images more if one thing we learned from donald that americans are so disgusted by the predictable artifice of politics that you can say almost anything and still win a lot of as long as you sound like reading from the same old meaningless talking so naturally a bunch of the democratic contenders for who just marched out to declare themselves to the electorate seem determined to sound as much like every other candidate of the last years as humanly brilliant julián have always been at our best when united by something kamala american public wants a kirsten believe that what people want in our state and around the country is someone who will fight for them and someone who not only understands what their problems actually but then will do what it takes to solve that also accused trump of ripping apart the fabric of this you literally unless now entered wrinkle in i tell you which of the many democrats running will emerge to challenge but it be the one who sounds generated by a word less predictable right and maybe more is happening in own party as comes into a lot of republicans have considered trump an unstoppable force in the conservative grassroots and at least a viable candidate for but recent mainly centered on the have added some uncertainty to turmoil in the markets at the end of last followed by the longest government shutdown in have some global experts predicting a painful slowdown in polls show rising disenchantment with even among pockets of his and among the republican establishment now in exile or trying to ride out the there remains a lot of resistance to key tenets of the trump most notably his tilt and his ongoing trade of his obsession with the this week the republican national meeting near is apparently set to pass a nonbinding resolution supporting the president in the not something you do when feel like going just said before that i think trump is vulnerable to a challenge from someone in his own and while there may be multiple republicans considering that right now heard speculation about jeff flake and nikki haley most maryland larry the most likely challenger remains john kasich the ohio governor who lasted deep into the despite winning only his home when i caught up with kasich in columbus a few weeks ago at his last public event as he was in no mood for a long discussion about a future he was busy reflecting on his frenetic and creative eight years in and showing me how his shiny white tesla would drive itself when driving the future but kasich sound like a guy who was backing down from another during his last speech in at a ceremony to name an arena at the state fairgrounds in his he went out of his way to have fun at the was huge kasich referring to the crowd at the than any crowd in he ticked off for me a sharp critique of the trumpian comparing it to where democrats are on the worried about the environment we deny kasich worried about income inequality we they want medicare for which would bankrupt the system our view is to take health care away from million are the exciting ideas about a new they exist in the republican the basic question facing kasich right if he does decide to make another run against is but not at all do you try to take out the incumbent president in the primaries and win back the or do you make an independent bid i could certainly make the case for a primary as said the reason trump prevailed in his celebrity or his appeal all of that but because the more field was divided a dozen different the math works very differently when mano a mano from the especially if trump is carrying the weight of an uncertain as we often say in campaigns are not republican voters may give trump high approval ratings compared to democrats or the but we have no idea how respond to a sustained debate between trump and a more traditional and you only have to beat trump in new hampshire or in another early where losing his invincibility as an incumbent would recast the entire think back to when gene strong showing in new hampshire emboldened robert kennedy and persuaded lyndon johnson to step but be the primary route is a tough the last time any major elected figure tried something like this was when ted kennedy tried to wrest the democratic party from jimmy colleague jon ward just wrote a terrific book about called which reminds you what complex and flawed figures both men were at the the lesson both parties took from that fiasco was that launching an internal bid to unseat a president usually ends up destroying the which is why few republican donors or activists are lining up to help kasich launch what could be a kamikaze mission this and while a republican renegade might get a not clear that kasich is the right kind of kasich carries on passionately about leaving no one in the society behind and about the value of compassionate he believes in the looming crisis of climate change and in global all of which might make him not really a republican which leads us to door an independent running as a third maybe on a bipartisan is one of those crazy things that only losers think i say and you think ross ralph that guy who once ran who led a community of yogic happened not making this except that while you were the world completely the major obstacles that always stood in the way of independent campaigns money and ballot access are now eminently thanks to the internet and and the advantage to an independent campaign is that you have to spend all this time catering to the craziness of dwindling primary you can enter when a lot of voters may already be soured by all the partisan nastiness between the other two and speak to the broad center of the electorate that often feels caught between impossible for argued that america will get an independent presidency sooner rather than decades from both barack obama and donald trump will be seen as transitional figures from the long age of parties to the era of should republicans renominate trump and democrats choose a more strident candidate of their could be the perfect moment for that and yet there are drawbacks what if an sometimes garbled midwestern governor who speaks of consensus the right personality to incite that kind of what if democrats end up nominating a joe who might be perfectly acceptable to a lot of people still believe that a third candidate from one party can do little than throw the election to the which is why michael bloomberg stood down from an independent run in so with all that in if kasich or some other serious republican had which way do you go at which adventure here gives you the best chance of really not but i think it may depend on how defining if inherently a party and you still believe that republican party exists and been permanently overrun by the forces of then probably worth a primary another four years of and whatever happens to the i can promise the republican party we grew up with will be a curiosity of but if your goal is to actually win the white party be then say an independent campaign is the wave of the and more likely to get you the conventional

first sworn into office in january he immediately began the process for passing his key policy issue reforming the expensive and haphazard health insurance the patient protection and affordable care which would eventually be known as the affordable care the or simply was then introduced in the fall of by it passed with a mere majority in the and the following it passed the senate to in both not one single republican voted in favor of the it have to be that reform was an issue both parties were in favor of and previous efforts had enjoyed bipartisan the most option was the healthy americans act a reform bill introduced by ron a democrat from and robert a republican from the bill had multiple on both sides of the aisle but never managed to make it out of when it came to the affordable care republican politicians were lockstep in their refusal to so much as consider any sort of common ground even though many aspects of the plan were quite similar to a massachusetts law developed and signed by republican mitt their opposition was and to the point where many find themselves wondering just what do they hate so much about based solely on official conservative there are actually a number of issues that the gop legitimately would have with the just like social and they view obamacare as an entitlement program they would be more than happy to believing that the government should never be involved in assuring minimum standards of living are conservatives oppose it for the same reason that liberals favor it through the medicaid expansion and the it subsidizes insurance coverage for people of modest means by raising taxes on people of explains reilhan salam at slate tend not to be enthusiastic about and particularly skeptical about redistribution that the industry regulations that are a part of the affordable care act are also another stumbling block for fiscal conservatives who believe that businesses should always be allowed to govern themselves and are justified in gaining as much profit as they can for as part of reform insurance agencies were forced to spend percent of all revenues on medical care rather than administration costs or bonuses or they could also no longer cap how much they spend per patient in coverage due to medical conditions or other need for chronic either on an annual or lifetime these restrictions on profitability are opposed by republicans who think free market principles will keep businesses in and of course there were issues with reproductive health care such as abortion and birth groups claimed the affordable care act to be the largest expansion of abortion since roe wade due to the inclusion of some insurance plans in the exchange that allowed coverage for elective they considered plans purchased on state and federal exchanges to be a means of forcing other taxpayers to elective abortion despite the fact that the government set up additional steps to ensure that federal funding to private insurance plans that cover abortions remain and the additional executive order reaffirming the hyde federal ban on abortion they also demanded exceptions for all companies and nonprofit who had religious objections to birth the birth control mandate declared contraception an essential service for health and required all companies to offer plans that included hormonal birth emergency birth control and female sterilization religious institutions were allowed a conscientious objection to the but social conservatives wanted the loophole extended to any business or organization whose owners disapproved of any birth control use for moral reasons regardless of how many of their own employees or other insurees may have different opinions on the yet while the gop has strenuously opposed all of these individual aspects of the it was the individual mandate that appeared to irk them the most and had the least reason to do using language that originated with the conservative heritage institute were advocating for a requirement that all people be required some form of health insurance as long ago as the late and it was championed by gop congress members during much of the early it was even a key component in the massachusetts health care law approved by romney in but the individual mandate instead went from being something that republicans were willing to support in order to bring down the costs of insurance to a policy they claim strips personal liberty and is even tantamount to slavery so what flipped the election when obama won his first presidential that also put both the house and senate into democratic the house democrats outnumbered republicans to and democrats and their two independent allies outnumbered the senate republicans to according to the brookings thomas mann gop strategy experts decided that the best way to win back majorities would be to keep their entire conservative block united in rejecting any legislation that could potentially be viewed as a democratic success if it congressional republicans were urged to filibuster any bill that came before the senate and harshly criticize any law that they stop in an attempt to make what did pass as unpopular as that decision doomed any chance for bipartisan the refusal to vote in favor of passage and their aggressive opposition to every element of the bill even those they had agreed with in the past served to help them sweep into power in both congress and a number of state legislatures when the midterms came and by taking over a number of state legislatures and republicans could then block portions of the aca from going into further hampering the legislatures often refused to expand medicaid so more people could receive subsidized insurance leaving their residents with far more expensive costs than they also often opted out of opening their own state forcing the uninsured to enroll through the federal exchange which limited their coverage options and put a greater burden on the federal by first refusing to support obamacare and then purposefully trying to make it republicans believed any consumer dissatisfaction would rest completely on the shoulders of the since they were the only ones to vote in favor of the so do republicans really despise the affordable care despite the fact that they have voted in some or form to repeal some or all of the aca more than times in the six years since it was signed into the answer may surprisingly be or at not as much of it as they but they do hate the that was passed solely with democratic votes and signed by a democratic and they will do anything to tear that down and when they later replace it with a new plan that has a surprising number of policies similar to the law they just then we will know the thing they hated most about obamacare was

brilliant writer roger for roger asked me less about the beats i might be covering than about the editors be working some of whom he knew especially and then he offered a bit of wisdom that guided me for many years in many this level of the he told not that small bit of life advice keeps coming back to me this as i watch the unfolding tragedy of brett supreme court nomination reach its climactic final i say tragic no matter how the judiciary committee votes after christine blasey ford has her say a chance that either or or will have been unfairly never met and i had no particular feeling about him when he first took the stand for what seemed like a routine confirmation but the more i see of kavanaugh and this really about the tawdry allegations swirling around him now the less i think he belongs on the court when there are so many other qualified jurists waiting in because the fact is that at this elite level of the american but not let me just before you howl about my liberal bias and the deep state conspiracy and whatever that i happen to believe in the old maxim about elections having and i think presidents including this and including his whose last pick never got a hearing have a right to seat justices who reflect their if it were up to every supreme court justice would be a temperamental independent whose only ideology was a complex reading of the then if it were up to the man bun would and every wedding i went to would serve so i have thought twice about confirming first neil and have no issue with another conservative justice as on as kavanaugh clearly also admit that uncomfortable with the way some of the latest allegations against kavanaugh have been reported in this when every guy is presumed guilty pending a public and i assume all true or fairly being dishonest if we acknowledge that there are plenty of people out there who would consider it a heroic act to kill this and those political motives be divorced from hazy memories that suddenly get sharper after i do worry about the precedent it but a trying process like this one tells us something about who you and how you relate to the experience of and how you define and the longer this goes the more these confirmation hearings seem to reveal about it for on the very first day of the when fred whose daughter was killed in the school shooting in approached kavanaugh with his hand outstretched and tried to introduce looking like just swallowed spoiled buttoned his suit jacket and turned i maybe he was confused by everything going on around him and know what he was maybe he had a awkward as we all he did apologize saying he thought guttenberg was a protester why refuse to shake the hand of a peaceful protester is a question he left only watched that video again and and every time i i really imagine stiffing somebody for no reason like let alone a grieving i have trouble getting the image of it out of my then this memo kavanaugh wrote when he was working on ken team during

transparency in our college admission sander filed a lawsuit suit against the university of california system last fall to disclose its admissions which he said it freely provided in the past but had stopped in the last you have a system completely closed like it really invites said a better approach to affirmative said is focusing on class than race because class is really about what individual characteristics you have that disadvantage it makes more sense to give preference to an asian student whose parents are working in a store all day then to give a preference to the son of an based on

but why consult what can he tell us about our own situation that we heard rachel nothing given the vast difference between the leader of a century republic and the rulers that and century english julius and the kings macbeth and as greenblatt stipulates in an is not great because relevant because the immediate occasion writing the has to do with our current political but not in a direct absurd to think that someone writing years ago is addressing contemporary american even contemporary american politics is the subtext of almost every if the comparison between richard and a certain american political figure whose name does not appear in the book is here is how greenblatt introduces richard not the historical is pathologically narcissistic and supremely he has a grotesque sense of never doubting that he can do whatever he he expects absolute but he is incapable of the feelings of others mean nothing to he has no natural no sense of shared no duke of gloucester and younger brother of king edward ascends to the throne by eliminating his rivals and winning the support of the citizens of london in political complete with a fraudulent display of religious the slandering of and a grossly exaggerated threat to national he cheats the duke of who was instrumental in his turning a friend and ally into an anyone he suspects of or of posing a threat to his gets thrown in if not beheaded on the as richard says to the young prince who is the heir apparent and therefore stands in the way of if i may counsel some day or two your highness shall repose you at the then where you please and shall be thought most fit for your best health and that is how shakespeare expresses him and once in richard finds himself still prospect of endless winning proves to be a grotesque greenblatt who was it again who warned that we might get tired of winning but unlike a certain other ruler with authoritarian a blowhard or a he boasts about his schemes to his or in soliloquies to

their ancestors were shipped there from scientists from around the globe have flocked to this tiny island in the caribbean to study primate physiology and researchers at cayo santiago recorded the sounds made by female macaques and concluded they employed baby talk with infants behavior that was thought to be exclusively others observed females over long periods to detect subtle changes in skin color correlated with sexual receptivity now an international group of researchers are joining forces to save monkey and its human in the aftermath of hurricane whose winds whipped across cayo santiago and the nearby community of punta home to many of the caribbean primate research employees and though all the monkeys have been accounted the hurricane ravaged much of their home as well as

severe if not accamando told yahoo research facilities on cayo santiago are laurie a yale psychologist who has been studying primate psychology on cayo santiago since the added that while it amazingly good that all of the precious primates survived the bad news is that all of the infrastructure on the island was completely as well as much of the now that the storm has accamando biggest concern for the animals on the island is similar to that of the people of puerto rico reliable sources of food and fresh beyond addressing the immediate and pressing needs of cayo human the main focus for the primate center and similar facilities around the globe will be to rebuild the natural water collection systems and food resources to keep the monkeys fragile population somehow weathered this awful

more joe donnelly has two strikes against a first of and everybody knows that nothing good comes from washington this is and a democrat from which is a very conservative and everybody talks about how nice a guy he how everybody likes hard to find anybody who will say a bad word about him even republican operatives who call to talk about the race off the the senator is considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the country in this because the old playbook for getting reelected do the is what father always told dad was a small business owner on long island whose died when joe was and ethos hard common bipartisan disdain for grandstanding is right in line with hoosier but even before donald national politics was overtaking state and regional and the definition of success for a senator had shifted away from working with others to solve problems and toward building getting on cable tv through bombast and social media donnelly understands the still think what makes you an actual successful senator is the he notes in an with an emphasis on success he the lives of people in our state making the lives of people in our country joe donnelly at work on the senate banking committee on may andrew via getty more but as yuval one of the most incisive observers of modern said in a recent series of lectures at princeton members of congress have come to view the institution as a kind of platform for themselves a way to raise their to become celebrities in the world of cable news or talk and in essence to or as jack colwell a longtime columnist for the south bend tribune put it to who does not toot his own horn may have his horn and donnelly is not a he is a mere that used to be something voters valued and but in the modern can a senator who likes to keep his head down and go about his business stand out enough to be noticed above the cacophony of national politics and the clanging cymbal that threatens to drown everything else history suggests he lacks a burning ambition to be in the public around age while he was practicing law in south bend he ran for office in he sought the democratic nomination for attorney general in indiana but came up short at the state two years he ran for state senate and lost to republican joe and then he dropped off the disappeared for about everybody just remembered him as the guy who ran and lost to joe zakas for the state said mike murphy a republican elected as a state representative in just kind of remembered him as a guy who not a bad just a guy who there was another hoosier who ran for office in and and lost both and then was out of politics for a his name was mike who ran for congress unsuccessfully and then spent years building his statewide brand through a talk radio he finally got elected to congress in now vice president of the united of went back to practicing law and coaching his two sports in a year or two after his one of the kids on his little league baseball team was the son of joe his former donnelly said he put his arm around the looked him in the eye and get all the playing time you joe donnelly in douglas call via getty more was great with my always seemed to be very friendly toward zakas born and raised on long donnelly had attended notre dame and never left he was a as with a law degree from the same he spent most of the working in his ink and stamp practicing law and coaching his sports and he spent a few years on the school board of the local catholic after more than a decade out of donnelly think run for office he in late a local party official named butch walker called home and left a was out donnelly actually thought they were calling for a contribution to but walker said he and other democrats wanted donnelly to run for the senator walker did not return phone calls seeking to verify this and in a presidential election year with george bush on the donnelly was being recruited not so much to win as to put up a fight against republican chris a corporate lawyer and said colwell of think going to win but he will run a respectable and he i think what a danger when a member of congress seems to be so entrenched that the other party will end up with some i not going to embarrass the party or hurt the rest of the i think he would i see how he donnelly took the request to run quite thought process me think about it because a big if going to try to do i want to do it not just going to do it just to do he joe donnelly with his on the day he was elected to the joe more and despite having no financial support from the national donnelly campaigned went to every to every to every he in circumstances had the occupation of iraq had gone horribly approval rating had and democrats had a wave election national money poured in on and he won an his election to the senate in was equally district in northern indiana was redrawn by the republican legislature after the census to include more republican and so rather than face almost certain defeat donnelly decided he might as well run for senate against an aging richard a republican who had lost a step or two after years in the and after lugar was defeated in the republican primary by tea party challenger richard mourdock sabotaged his own candidacy with comments weeks before the election about how pregnancies caused by rape are that god in his first term in the donnelly has been a quiet focused on issues that matter to indiana voters of both mental health care and suicide prevention for military and combatting the opioids but he has not made many even for a freshman who soon found himself a member of the minority you run under the surface so to you avoid but then you also risk not being known for what murphy think his not bombastic by any and probably some staff advice in there just not been terribly donnelly still believes he can grind out a i work really i can outwork and people are gonna notice and see donnelly told but in the current in a conservative state like indiana that trump won by points in it also helps to be seen with so it was a coup when donnelly scored an invite to the white house in late may for a ceremony in which trump signed a bill that donnelly had worked on with republican ron and when trump personally thanked donnelly during the republican operatives working for his wealthy businessman and former state legislator mike might have thrown objects at their also want to thank really appreciate thank trump said while signing right to try which make it easier for terminally ill patients to seek access to experimental medications not yet approved by the food and drug president trump shakes hands with joe donnelly during the signing ceremony for the right to try act on may al via getty more donnelly subtly acknowledged that the event was a political gift to especially coming just weeks after trump campaigned in indiana for braun and criticized donnelly during the was glad to be i was happy to be donnelly said with a slight the alliance with which helped ensure his presence at the white is the product of a friendship they have maintained despite pressure from both their knew i could tell what i think is gonna happen over on the democrat and what i think is gonna happen on the republican a stumbling block or a stumbling block how do we get through donnelly told people be i have and that is the kind of thing that normally plays well in just want somebody that is just going to vote for the republican party all the they want somebody like a donnelly who is going to bring people get legislation and help them with jobs and the opioid not somebody who is going to robotically support one said tim a former democratic congressman from indiana who was president barack first ambassador to donnelly has in fact voted with trump about percent of the according to score but when a reporter asked braun about percent record of voting with the president was percent at the braun hit donnelly for insufficient loyalty to implication is a very high and not very braun told adam wren who writes the importantville that position worked in south carolina where incumbent congressman mark sanford voted with trump percent of the time but was ousted in a republican primary because he had been a public critic of but donnelly is not who had a lurid extramarital affair during his term as governor that has continued to haunt the republican attacks on donnelly will likely be hitting him for voting against the republican tax cut bill passed late last year and trying to use his family business history against joe with jon and joe speaking about tax reform on capitol hill in jacquelyn more donnelly was listed as vice president and general counsel in when his superior marketing equipment was saddled with an irs lien for unpaid payroll his told reporters in that joe had no involvement in the business past when joe started his own ink and stamp marking solutions but just last year the associated press reported that donnelly still owned shares of his and that the company now named stewart superior was using mexican workers to manufacture its outsourcing angers many indiana and donnelly promptly sold his shares estimated by his campaign to be worth and donated the proceeds to multiple indiana political observers told me they think the labor practices of the donnelly family business will be an issue but not a decisive since republican nominee mike braun made millions from his ownership of a company that has distributed auto parts made think it will be a murphy but the senate leadership an outside group aligned with senate majority leader mitch has already released an ad on the labeling donnelly braun has a net worth of between and million which would make him one of the three or four wealthiest senators if he were donnelly and outside democratic groups will focus on a pattern of lawsuits against meyer by employees alleging unsafe working the company was hit with department of labor violations between and for wage and overtime pay campaign insists conditions at the company are better than the industry and braun also served a few years in the indiana he will come under criticism for pushing legislation that benefitted the timber industry in the braun owns acres of timberland valued at between and he says the legislation did not have a or impact on his mike braun thanks supporters after winning the republican primary on may he faces joe donnelly in michael more strengths are that truly an murphy is a millionaire from the most germanic settlement in indiana of any murphy said that hometown gives him a credibility with indiana voters who value work nobody sits on their you a germanic work murphy as for his vote on the tax cut donnelly told me defiantly that not many voters had brought it up with but he said if they wanted to discuss it he would the discussion every day in every everywhere i but on other national such as guns and donnelly is treading a fine when i asked him about whether the school safety commission organized by the trump administration should consider gun violence so far it has not he insisted that they know how you can discuss school safety without this being a huge part of the donnelly gotta get this he hitting the table with his is what is on every and there are basic things we can not like this silver or that silver you add the background and you add maybe designing schools and you add better and all of a in a better he i think you can have a discussion on school safety without discussing how do we solve this but when i asked him whether he supported statewide statute forbidding localities from passing their own provisions to prevent gun donnelly claimed even looked at that legislation to be honest with he usually in favor of as much as you keeping it as local as you possibly so on the federal level i try to make it so that we allow the states to do as much as they possibly so have to look at and on he signed on to a bill supported by all democrats in the senate to end the trump policy that has resulted in the forcible separation of thousands of undocumented immigrant children from their joe donnelly heads

illegally should be held accountable and our immigration laws should be my faith has taught me that our policies should also reflect our and i believe that the new policy that separates including separating babies and young children from their is wrong and not consistent with out shared american he said in a statement donnelly is a and the catholic bishops have been outspoken in calling for a more tolerant approach to braun is also but he stuck to the trump line that congress needs to act but the white house does not need to change its recently enacted all of these things the tax guns and immigration illustrate the challenge for he will have to grapple with national issues in a way that neutralizes them and emphasizes his as a way of circling back to a message and brand that appeals to democratic and republican voters in the yet popularity come november will likely do more to determine fate than he would like to perfect storm would be a very popular president trump with a national

truman comes to but prior to you could pretty much put all of them on the same they all in their own to sound like a transition that happens when someone is elected says jeff a former speechwriter in the clinton white house who founded west wing writers in it starts to happen right on election partly how we hear a gravity to their words that there hours but also that they hear themselves they pivot out of campaign mode into a new trump is the unlike his he seem interested in developing a signature presidential neither trump nor his team has tried to transpose his own personal voice into a more presidential for the most still speaking like candidate who still spoke like reality tv who still spoke like developer and so the examples are a person that very strongly believes in trump told cia employees shortly after his inauguration every time i say i had an uncle who was a great professor at mit for who did a fantastic job in so many different academically was an academic genius and then they is donald trump an trust like a smart president trump speaks at the central intelligence agency headquarters in on january andrew more from inauguration to president rocky ride in pictures can tell everybody in this massive this is a massive trump said during his rally in fla the big and by the do you think that one media group back one network will show this not not they show the of the best chemistries i had was with trump said last week when the associated press asked about his contentious march meeting with angela the german chancellor had unbelievable and people have given me credit for having great chemistry with all of the last i taxonomized particular patois i called it and argued that it was serving him well on the campaign trail just i noting incessant use of non the second person and the imperative perfectly calibrated and calibrated may not be too strong a word to serve political but a needs his securing just enough votes to win the electoral college are not the same as a trump won percent of the vote on his approval rating averages according to five thirty eight this is the lowest number on and it makes trump the only elected president in the history of public opinion polling to finish his first days with less support than he had on election day language but by ignoring one of the most tools in the presidential trump is almost certainly making his job harder than it has to two things to point out before we fans like the way he for them a not a as the associated press recently put it the bursts of simple but definitive laden with bravado and claims that have working all dispatched from mind to lips in such record time it seemingly bypasses any internal all of this only proves that trump a typical of is the last thing trump supporters they would argue the era of presidents sounding presidential inauthentic is and good president trump speaks during a rally in march at the kentucky exposition center in john more saying that trump tried to develop a presidential voice the same thing as saying he tried to deliver a presidential his address to a joint session of congress and his remarks this week at the holocaust memorial museum were both speeches that other presidents could have the is that they were both speeches that other presidents could have they sound anything like in because personal voice is so familiar by now imprinted on our collective cerebrum by four decades of years on the apprentice and the first presidential campaign in american history and because he impulsively reverts back to either in the midst his prepared remarks or immediately generic presidential rhetoric rings even more hollow coming from him than it would coming from a more generic hallmark of a successful presidential voice is a kind of internal says forensic linguist allan the author of presidential speaking styles from george washington to george bush only hallmark of presidential so is its trump the first president who has struggled to find his and the reasons partly says adam one of three campaign speechwriters who followed barack obama to the west wing in one the substance is now talking about frankel also about as a basically just doing as you suddenly have all these different a speech in the east a televised address to the different settings mean different kinds of speeches yet you still have to sound like bill clinton initially leaned a little too hard on john elevated rhetorical with its clipped cadence and elegant constructions voice clinton heard in his head was shesol know what bill clinton sounded like at the presidential but eventually he found a clinton idiom that worked in the presidency that was still himself but not quite what he had been before the democratic national clinton gave his speechwriters some i want to deliver a he want to talk to shesol and his colleagues immediately understood what the president obviously mean with the piece of shesol there was an immediacy he was after an unscripted clinton interested in applying layers of rhetoric between himself and his he looking to ascend to some plane that would put him above and apart from the final lines of that speech were classic years ago this i was born in a summer storm to a young widow in a small southern the president gave me the chance to live my i have tried to give you a better chance to live with hair grayer and wrinkles but with the same optimism and hope i brought to the work i love eight years my heart is filled with early george bush had a similar obsession with another president you more like ronald reagan than my dad he told majority leader dick armey but he eventually settled on a plainspoken style that suited both his presidency and his and even the most polished campaign orator in recent endured a few rhetorical growing pains after relocating to the white his first inaugural for is more formal than later speeches as if his writers were trying to make him sound like a president trump speaks on capitol hill on april during the united states holocaust memorial national days of remembrance carolyn more the difference with trump is that he seem to he clearly thinks his own voice is good after it won him the why change and so he continues to call reporters out of the blue and invite them into the oval office without warning confident that his riffing can reshape the he continues to deliver prepared remarks from the of his inaugural address to the sudden sobriety of the holocaust museum speech that represent the rhetorical equivalent of a disorder in which none of the personalities seem to belong to donald the fact that his staff has been consumed by ideological help and he continues to undercut any semblance of consistency by contradicting and tweeting whenever the mood strikes and if trump wants to be more effective in his next days than he was in his he might consider adopting a presidential voice and at to stick to are reasons that presidents think about the words frankel not just that people just love presidential not just about writing a good speech for the sake of about the effect your words can have in the real you tailor your speeches to achieve to pass to make an argument to different members of to target different kinds of voters who can then pressure their to make a case to the a words for thinks trump could still find his presidential voice he cared to do is a trump presidential idiom to be shesol would have to be pretty close to the guy we or it fly at have to take the brashness and toughness and swagger and you would have to work with them and render them you reinvent you start writing speeches for trump that sound like they should have been written for but you could make him a better version of in have to find a voice that alienate him from his but at the same time be so needlessly alienating to rest of the that last point is is that the campaign allowed him to keep doing what been doing his entire adult selling the

tell people not pfeiffer they wanted proof both to soothe their own concerns and share with their friends and the obama campaign decided to release certificate of live birth a document commonly issued

to respond to a reality tv star less relevant than the pfeiffer reluctantly agreed to the plan on condition that would release the form and brief the media would at least keep obama from having to

declared that the delegates had to this convention to express their judgments in the earnest way that their feelings or their convictions may have in two maryland delegates protested when the chairman of their delegation attempted to impose the unit rule on the convention subsequently ruled that the dissenting delegates would be allowed to as in and similar skirmishes broke out between the chairman of the pennsylvania delegation and various pennsylvania and both times the convention upheld right of every individual member to vote his individual in sitting congressman and james garfield of ohio that rules committee chair and eventual republican presidential nominee crafted a rule specifying the procedure by which each delegate would be allowed to vote according to his judgment and case the vote of any or district of columbia shall be the chairman shall announce the number of votes cast for any or for or against any read rule if exception is taken by any delegate to the correctness of such announcement by the chairman of his the president of the convention shall direct the roll of members of such delegation to be and the result shall be recorded with the votes individually never was a there never can be a of which i am one equal in rights to every other that shall bind my vote against my will on any question garfield the garfield rule remained in effect even after primaries became part of the nominating process in that the convention ignored the oregon and illinois primary results and allowed delegates from those states to vote however they language itself went largely unchanged until when the seeking to clarify the finally added an explicit ban on the unit delegate or alternate shall be bound by any attempt of any state or congressional the district of puerto or the virgin islands to impose the unit the amendment read and it still reads the same way only in did the convention rules explicitly permit the binding of desperate to lock down as many delegates as possible and fearful that delegates who originally came to the convention pledged to him would defect to his charismatic rival ford and his loyalists on the rules committee managed to amend the garfield rule so that vote of each state for the nomination for president shall be announced and recorded in accordance with the results of any binding presidential primary or direct election of delegates bound or pledged pursuant to state but the new language last four years the rules committee decided to delete it believe the people of of of and of possibly new will find themselves in the envious position at this convention of casting their votes for a lunatic by the name of john anderson joked one referring to the illinois republican who had performed well in several primaries before bolting the party to run as an would not impose that burden upon the conscience of any amendment was put in in as a result of some political shenanigans at that added we are just going back to the old not a single member voted against the various other bodies state state legislatures and even the republican national committee have passed rules and laws intended to bind reince chairman of the republican national at an rnc meeting in damian more a reason that everybody thinks that delegates are currently bound to vote for trump on the first ballot in because state state legislatures and the republican national committee have basically said as as early as at least one state republican party that all of its delegates vote for a particular presidential since state gops have issued a dizzying array of instructions regarding how their delegates will be allocated and even bound especially after primaries and caucuses started to dominate the process in the nearly every state legislature has passed some sort of law directing convention delegates to vote in accordance with its primary or caucus and even the republican national committee has recently endorsed this rearranging and revising its rules to reflect in for the rnc added references to and to a pair of rules about the selection and election of and in april the national party rewrote rule to clarify that statewide presidential preference vote that permits a choice among candidates for the republican nomination for president of the united states in a or a state convention must be used to allocate and bind the delegation to the national convention in either a proportional or the new rule went on to state the secretary of the convention shall faithfully announce and record each vote in accordance with the obligation under these state or state party if any delegate bound by these state party rules or state law to vote for a presidential candidate at the national convention demonstrates support for any person other than the candidate to whom he or she is such support shall not be this is the rule that rnc chairman priebus was citing when he dismissed arguments on seems pretty cut and not so none of these state laws or party rules actually govern the convention this part of book is a little but try to keep it whenever republicans have raised the question of whether state or national party rules take precedence in recent years as well as the national rules have won which means that a national convention rule outlawing the binding of delegates the garfield according to haugland trumps any state party rule permitting the james circa library of more the have repeatedly in lynch torquato cousins wigoda and democratic party of the united states wisconsin ex la follette among other under the first right of freedom of the state cannot intrude on the internal matters of a political party like the election or selection of delegates to a national which means that state laws enforceable but what about the national own surely they of says they apply to the period between but they apply to the convention because the recent gop rules about binding were inserted into a totally different section of the rulebook the section that governs convening of the these haugland and parnell at the start of that convention and have no authority as to how the convention is each convention establishes its own and in the standing rules approved by the republican national convention retained the historical protections for delegates contained in garfield this sounds but haugland is the recent gop rules will expire at the start of the convention unless the rules committee and the delegates themselves add them into the standing rules of the convention in much the same way the ford campaign added binding language in the garfield rule will continue to hold sway and the recent gop rules will be does haugland ultimately think that thousands of republican delegates will rise up in cleveland and deliver the nomination to someone other than trump someone whose zombie campaign is still managing to get loyal delegates elected in places like washington state he does time it appears reince and the cable news networks have announced that we have a haugland acknowledging that current conventional wisdom makes it all but impossible to revert back to the old way of doing haugland is convinced in his way that his fellow delegates need to know their what for they have to vote their what if they have to what as haugland and parnell put it in a delegate is to candidate is dramatically out of step with the principles and values of the republican someone like former ku klux klan leader david who campaigned for the republican nomination in and might have earned some delegates had pat buchanan not run at the same former presidential candidate john edwards at a news bob more what if change and new knowledge about candidates uncovered between the primary and the time the delegates must cast their vote on the convention knowledge akin to the which was confirmed a few weeks before the democratic national that former north carolina john edwards had fathered a child with his mistress while his wife was battling and what if it obvious a particular candidate is unable to mount a credible and competent a scenario in which one candidate collects enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee of the but before the convention he or she engages in behavior or makes statements that all but guarantee a crushing defeat in the general haugland and parnell such a should the delegates be forced to effectively cede the presidency because of votes cast before under different unlikely that trump will make hypothetical a even less unlikely with trump than with any prior presumptive republican nominee and haugland wants his party to be just in only hope i have is to educate the haugland actually own the rights to control the but most of them know

really help increasingly desperate moderate fighters squeezed between those extremists and strongman bashar and what risk would it pose in terms of sucking the united states into an escalating role in the syrian those are pressing questions as president barack obama assesses his handling of arguably the worst foreign policy disaster of his administration and gives fresh thought to a limited military role according to current and former administration officials and congressional right now we think that there is a military per to the obama said last week at a joint press conference with his closest ally on the french president francois the situation is and we are continuing to explore every possible avenue to solve this obama also signaled that his thinking has changed on whether the bloody conflict threatens core american notably the stability of key friends in the region like jordan and lebanon as well as countries like not just heartbreaking to see happening to the syrian very dangerous for the region as a including friends and allies and partners like lebanon or he an important shift because old argument for setting the limits he did on american actions in syria turned in part on the idea that the humanitarian disaster unfolding there did not threaten core interests such as the stability of key when he threatened the use of force in he argued it was the use of chemical weapons on a large scale not the surging death toll that threatened by undermining an international norm the wants the same questions and concerns have dogged policy towards syria for the entirely of the nearly three years since the civil war flared up in march white house press secretary jay carney said tuesday that military option always remains available and on the but warned against a to embrace yet misguided everyone is enormously concerned about and frustrated by the situation in it should be on mind that when we look at the situation we have to examine what the alternatives some might be proposing are and whether in our national security and whether a desire to do something about it could lead the united to take action that can produce the kind of unintended consequences seen in the carney tragic and gripping photographs from syria have horrified the but the precise death toll is the united nations announced last month it would no longer update its estimate and could no longer vouch for the figure it gave in july activists have offered the unverifiable number of but no sign that the pentagon has revised its very public misgivings about options like trying to ground syrian air power or carrying out air strikes or setting up humanitarian through which aid could the white house seem to have changed its mind about not shipping heavier weapons to the like missiles that could take down helicopters or perhaps commercial airliners if they should fall into the wrong then the little matter of congress refusing to give the green light for military action against syria last with the midterm elections obama is unlikely to commit to an unpopular course of action that risks facing another bipartisan efforts to broker a diplomatic settlement between assad and moderate rebels show no promise right russia and china have blocked any effort by the security council to tighten the pressure on the regime in but senior intelligence officials late last month opened a new path for obama to increase involvement in a way that require congressional could minimize a public backlash and might give moderates some breathing by telling congress that syria increasingly serves as a not just a for extremist groups looking to someday attack the united director of national intelligence james clapper compared areas of syria held by groups the united states considers terrorists to remote areas of pakistan that are thought to harbor those groups have for on the united he told the senate intelligence seeing now the appearance of training complexes in syria to train people to go back to their countries of conduct more terrorist so this is a huge concern to all of clapper at least one major white house ally in senate intelligence committee chair dianne seems to large swaths of the country of syria are beyond the control or that of the moderate this leads to the major concern of the establishment of a safe haven and the real prospect that syria could become a launching point or way station for terrorists seeking to attack the united states or other she said at the national counterterrorism center director matthew olsen echoed warning the committee of potential for terrorist attacks emanating from syria to the and cia director john brennan added his saying that the increasing diversity of the threats and with the as you pointed of terrorist elements in places like syria and we have a number of fronts that we need to confront likening syria to yemen raises the possibility that america could widen its strategy of targeting extremists with drone congressional officials say that the idea of using unmanned aerial vehicles against targets in syria has gained currency inside the administration in recent but caution against expecting an imminent much less announcement of a new but it would fit with the strategy obama announced last year at the national defense when he proclaimed that such strikes were legal and effective and reserved the right to use them when the local government or will confront a threat to the united foreign governments cannot or will not effectively stop terrorism in their the primary alternative to targeted lethal action would be the use of conventional military including drone he worries that syria may be the next safe harbor for terrorists he laid them out in march at a joint press conference with king abdullah ii of am very concerned about syria becoming an enclave for extremism because extremists thrive in they thrive in failed they thrive in power he very good about exploiting situations that are no longer they fill that whatever obama have to keep in mind the worries of allies like which has absorbed a flood of some syrian and unlikely to announce new steps before wrapping up a middle east diplomatic push that includes a march meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and talks later next month with saudi king and for an administration that used to argue that its policy it

coming into our country from certain the order he blocked was a version of the first order that was also blocked by another judge and should have never been blocked to start trump the new version of the travel ban was issued on march it was designed to meet the objections to the first executive which blocked travelers from seven predominantly muslim nations syria and yemen from entering the united it also barred all refugees from entering the country for days and indefinitely halted the entry of all syrian trump and government attorneys have argued that the orders are necessary security

worded made in the months leading up to and contemporaneous with the signing of the executive in many made by the executive betray the executive stated secular any objective observer would conclude that the stated secular purpose of the executive order at the very to a religious of temporarily suspending the entry of watson wrote in his trump and others in his administration defended the earlier order by arguing that immigration law grants the president broad authority to decide who may or may not enter the as he has in the trump read a section of a law that states that in any instance where the president thinks the entry any aliens or of any class of aliens into the united states would be detrimental to the interests of the united he may by and for such period as he shall deem suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be trump argued that the law is so simple it would be to if a bad other

this was done by a judge for political do trump has previously criticized politicians for refraining from using the phrase islamic due to concerns about political although government attorneys have tried to make the case that the travel ban does not focus on trump in his tennessee speech said stopping was a major focus of the best way to keep foreign or as some people would in certain radical islamic terrorists from attacking our is to stop them from entering our country in the first he apart from the reaction to the ruling in speech in tennessee resembled the freewheeling rallies that defined his presidential campaign last it featured all the signature elements of his stump including promises to cut build a wall on the united southern and to and replace disastrous there was even a

foreign income from russia and turkey when he sought to renew his security the sources who spoke to yahoo news say flynn did not indicate how trump had sent the message it was a written a text a phone

things former sam and richard tom roll chip more despite calls in some quarters for a complete and irreversible north korean denuclearization before the grants any sanctions a key lesson of the cooperative threat reduction program was the need to fashion an agreement that offers concessions from both some experts believe kim jong un actually wants to make a dramatic gesture with a for perhaps the first ever declaration of his nuclear arsenal and in the the trump administration should be prepared to possibly by offering to establish normal diplomatic relations and provide humanitarian and medical aid to combat a tuberculosis outbreak in the hermit according to world health organization north korea has one of the highest tuberculosis infection rates outside of and who estimates that in north koreas died of the or a rate five times higher than its neighbor south both nunn and lugar believe a successful summit will produce a broad statement on backed by concrete commitments to begin a process of verification and where each step is carefully sequenced with incentives to build confidence for the will judge the summit a success if both sides conclude that they will benefit from the and each side gives as well as it said who said as with the driving principal should be willingness to pay for each step north korea takes toward described to president trump how offers a detailed blueprint for how denuclearization is so the two leaders can focus on and negotiate the big the next key step will be the beginning of implementation to see if we can sustain the momentum from the recognizing only the beginning of the long and tough work ahead of actually dismantling north nuclear arsenal and weapons another sign of a successful summit would be the delegation by both trump and kim jong un of key lieutenants with the authority to drive the denuclearization process going to date the most likely candidates are secretary of state who has conducted the shuttle diplomacy to prepare for the and north korean intelligence chief kim yong man who recently visited the white house to get the summit preparations back on in turns of look for indications that north korea is willing to make a serious and complete declaration of its nuclear arsenal and weapons given cheating on earlier even that first step would be declaration of north weapons inventory will be a top but even there i expect delegation to come with a yellow pad listing everything in its chemical and biological there may not even be more than two or three people in north korea who know the whole so it will take time to get a full said after that the next step will be establishing a verification regime that has united nations and weapons scientists and military officers working on the ground with their north korean the relationships that engagement nurtures will prove critical in preparing the ground for the laborious process of actually dismantling president trump and secretary of state mike pompeo with north kim yong chol on june jabin washington post via getty more of the lessons of was that the scientists and engineers who put these weapons together have to be the ones to take them because a lot of safety risks involved in removing uranium and plutonium from nuclear said employing a lot of north korean scientists is also because having a bunch of unemployed nuclear weapons experts is a proliferation given the complexity of the issues failure to honor past agreements and instincts for show and sizzle over many nonproliferation experts believe the odds are stacked heavily against a summit that actually leads to a denuclearized korean in that the summit will most likely end in a vague declaration of intent lacking specific commitments towards that could ease the campaign against north korea without achieving the primary and perhaps pave the way for a premature that undercuts the logic for troops in south think the odds are very and highly unlikely that that get something from the summit that those of us who follow these issues would count as real michael a former member of the national security council and senior vice president for asia at the center for strategic and international studies said in a recent much more likely to get very vague statements and victor cha is the former asian affairs director on the national security council and the korea chair at the center for strategic and international trump has already said that not exerting anymore and that not interested in the libya so we have already lowered our negotiating objectives before the president has even walked into the he said in the csis think that speaks to the fact that what is driving president trump is the meeting more than the actual objectives and deliverables from the and quite with recent bellicose rhetoric and nuclear and missile tests driving north korea and the united states toward the brink of a potentially catastrophic it would have been diplomatic malfeasance not to test the proposition that kim jong un really does see it in his interest to strike a in the unlikely event that he is offers the most successful template to date for actually achieving a is certainly no guarantee that there will be a diplomatic but we must be prepared to seize the nunn and lugar wrote in their recent as we should prepare for the summit to go we should also

the biggest speech of george life was his acceptance speech for the republican presidential it was his moment to actually step out of ronald shadow and become his own there was still such conservative skepticism about bush that he felt compelled to make the new pledge in as vivid a way as so he said the famous my no new and it bush won the in the cycles of american should have been a democratic bush himself understood that that pledge had been vital to his but there was this bifurcation in his he saw campaigning as one set of rules and then governing was when the grownups showed deficits had been rising under president federal spending itself had been bush believed that he could hold the line for a year or but he was an economics graduate from so he knew that the budget was not he

and the then gop candidate asked him on at least a half dozen occasions for updates on the it going in trump would according to the mere existence of the project would seem on its face to implicate trump in a major deception of the throughout the campaign and well into his trump repeatedly denied having any business interests in russia even while on was negotiating with a kremlin official to build the tallest tower in europe in the russian cohen he also briefed donald trump and ivanka both of them executives in the trump about the michael cohen is sworn in to testify before the house oversight and reform committee on scott more but cohen stopped short of saying that trump directed him to lie about the before he appeared before congress in and falsely testified that his pursuit of the tower project ended in january cohen reviewed that testimony with trump himself at the white house as well as with one of his jay in may and let them edit his yet the president never ordered him to perjure cohen he simply inferred what trump wanted him to give you an cohen told the house oversight and government reform speaks in i understand that cohen offered up a plausible explanation for pursuit of the he never expected to win the presidency so why he continue to try to make viewed his campaign as an event that would amount to the greatest infomercial in political the trump tower meeting in new york in the russia case against no event looms larger than the meeting on june at trump tower in new york when donald trump jared kushner and paul manafort sat down with a delegation of

clinton that would be of russia and its government support for trump has consistently denied that he ever knew about the and trump has testified that he never even told his father about cohen said he knew nothing about the meeting as well but offered up this around that cohen he was in a room with trump when trump came in and walked behind his leaned over and meeting is all at which point trump replied let me cohen said that all this prompted him to conclude well after the fact that the conversation was about the notorious trump tower but he know for leaving open the possibility that trump could have been referring to lots of other meetings that had nothing to do with as for collusion cohen made clear he has no direct knowledge that trump conspired with russian operatives during the election and he flatly denied one of the more sensational allegations in the written by former british spy christopher that he flew to prague in the summer of to meet with russian agents about paying off hackers in never been to cohen testified for the first time in repeating an assertion he has made many times although never under never been to the czech advance knowledge of the wikileaks disclosures this was one of the more vivid accounts in he was in office around july when longtime rhona stone on line trump took the call and put his longtime political on stone told him that within a couple of days there would be a dump of emails that would damage hillary that be this is the first time anybody has ever implicated trump in knowing about the wikileaks disclosures before they were public and would seem even more significant since exactly what wikileaks did just a few days releasing thousands of stolen democratic national committee emails that had been hacked by russian military in an email to yahoo julian lawyer barry pollack denied that his client had such a conversation with stone did not have the telephone call michael cohen described stone claiming to have had with julian he but even if account is entirely it could arguably prove much less than it seems to on the cohen makes clear that stone never told trump what was in these emails or where they were and in a recent special counsel robert mueller never accuses stone of communicating directly with he stone lied about his efforts to learn through conspiracy theorist jerome corsi and talk show host randy credico what assange had and was prepared to was stone lying to trump as republicans pointed to a june guardian story quoting assange as saying he was about to release more damaging emails about

hook elementary school shooting in joshua more related images from newtown today is the fifth anniversary of that the fifth anniversary of that and the question thrumming beneath memories and tributes is not just newtown but also how does a community heal after this increasingly frequent kind of a the roots of these questions are generations back to a time well before arguably before the american when four lenape tribe members entered the enoch brown schoolhouse in pennsylvania in shooting and killing the then murdering all but two of the children in the and they are questions that stretch into the to a time well after through the at least times that shots have been fired at students and teachers since they are questions that ripple out beyond these particularly as screens and cameras now bring the anguish to the nation as a allowing strangers to mourn though not actually those who have related columbine and a chain of tragedy and grief not only schools where communities are ripped to shreds and left to knit the pieces back the lessons of the schools are also the lessons of the military bases at fort hood and the washington navy yard the movie theater in the churches in charleston and sutherland texas and the concert in las vegas but there is something singular and searing about the schools an invasion of what is assumed to be a safe where the victims form a literal where families not only know each but also expect their lives to be entwined as their children and unlike many other kinds of school communities remain to nurse their collective after the cameras have after the politicians have gone to their ideological corners then after the public has moved wearied by the seemingly constant march of and jaded by the gridlock and dysfunction that prevent any real

more when residents are left to figure out what healing and to navigate their way toward their only real map is the wisdom of others who came critically injured jonesboro teacher lynette thetford receiving a letter from the mother of a girl who had been killed a few months earlier in a school shooting in west columbine principal frank deangelis getting a phone call from his paducah bill who told even know what you need right i was take my when you need to give me a newtown helping troutdale helping marysville helping roseburg helping rancho tehama helping aztec together all these form a of the healing each at a different point on a metaphorical the totality of which extends across the nation and the newtown is five years into this have residents if if and what lessons have they learned from others traveled the same increasingly familiar a heath high school student screams at the scene of a shooting at the which left three students dead and five steve paducah more just before on michael carneal walked into heath high school in west with several shotguns in his with a ruger mk ii he fired eight rounds at a group of classmates gathered in the lobby for the regular morning prayer three were five were one of them paralyzed by a bullet to the with one bullet still left in the carneal put his weapon on the slumped to the floor and told the approaching bill please kill i believe i did with paducah became the first name on the contemporary roll call of mass shootings at schools the first of what would turn into an the town that will always be years ahead of newtown in the healing family and community members attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new location of a memorial for the victims of the heath high school ryan paducah more there had been a handful of others in the months beforehand that february two had been killed and two wounded at bethel regional high school in that three had been killed and seven wounded at pearl high school in mississippi but it was paducah that raised the specter of a a sign that something was new and very my whole it had never crossed my that someone would shoot up a bond told the local nbc affiliate during an interview on the anniversary earlier this not a high school principal in the nation that it flick in his mind sometime every so much else that happened in paducah would eventually become familiar pieces in the response to there were the parents of the victims sued the parents of the eventually settling for million money they will never lawsuits against the manufacturers of violent and pornographic video movies and websites were less and were eventually there were broken after kayce steger her parents dealt with their grief in different leading them to there was a could not walk into the er of the hospital in which she and eventually there was the rift between those in the community who felt it was time to move on and those who felt they were being told to former students became outraged recently when they realized the memorial to their murdered classmates had been locked behind a gate rather than in a place any student could visit and access has been there were some who forgave most notably missy who was paralyzed from the waist down that and who got had two children and is now a day treatment counselor at a nearby she visited her assailant in prison was sentenced to years to she did not forgive him to make him feel i forgave him to make me feel to help me move missy jenkins who was shot during the heath high school shooting in and paralyzed from the chest talks to her carter and logan about the ryan paducah sun via more there are others who quite forgive bond still wonders which lives he might have saved it had only taken rather than for him get that he stayed at heath until the last of the survivors then crafted a career as a consultant on middle school he just retired from that and says his last interview on the subject was the one he gave to the local news on the anniversary he has visited schools in the immediate aftermath of a shooting he jumping on a plane sometimes within hours of the news because needed to go help those i know how bad i needed help and there anybody who had been through there anybody emergency personnel rush an unidentified injured student to an ambulance at westside middle school near march curt more the chain of grief that originated in paducah next appeared less than miles away in karen the founding principal of the westside middle knew about the shootings the year but she first thought that the wailing alarm she was responding to on the morning of march was either a malfunction or a some of her teachers already suspected it actually a someone had seen a sixth andrew pull that alarm and dash but the fire alarm goes you know what the rule she recalled recently in an interview with yahoo everybody students and teachers were gathering on the lawn when curtner stepped out of the building and heard the next everybody ever been have always been she i knew what it karen curtner was the principal at westside middle school at the time of the jonesboro eric more what she means is that she knew it was the sound of rifle what she yet because it was so was that golden had pulled the alarm in order to lure the entire school outside and that he and his schoolmate mitchell johnson were now standing in the woods and shooting guns stolen from four students and a teacher were killed that and others were many while there was press coverage of it was nothing like what happened in jonesboro the first time the satellite trucks descended in such numbers that there appeared to be more journalists than at least one who said he was a journalist turned out to be a stalker police found piles of newspapers in his car with photo circled in most of with the press came national some of it welcome of the oklahoma city bombing sent piles of teddy bears to comfort the much of it were threats against both staff and teachers from including one letter purportedly from the praising the there were almost too many letters to but when the one from the mother of one of the girls killed in paducah made its way to remember just holding onto it and she hearing someone that i felt actually understood what we were going through meant more than words could ever garth brooks contacted curtner about performing a benefit and tiger woods wanted to hold a golf tournament to raise money for the curtner said no to both because her focus was on getting her school to like for this community would prove to be a hazy and moving marriages families lawsuits were depression and guilt settled like a brandi varner later told a reporter that spent much of her little funeral wishing tried harder to get britthney to skip school the day of the since both stayed up so late watching the oscars on tv the night a social studies teacher nearly killed by a bullet to her spent much of her time thinking about her friend shannon the one teacher who was wright was younger than her child was younger than why did wright die but thetford then one day thetford found herself saying to her understand why shannon got to die and i had to stay when she sought lynette thetford was wounded in the shooting at westside middle eric thayer for yahoo more life changes were some of those were a response to triggers for found herself crying while searching for a video to accompany a lesson on trench warfare during ww she decided in that moment that she had to stop teaching social because so much of the curriculum was about some were a response to grief mother and stepfather her mother would say she withdrew her love from her husband for fear of ever losing someone she loved older sister in went as she described it to reporter david peisner years after the by which she meant she started smoking pot and having she was expelled from high but turned into a parent of her two when her youngest a daughter who looked a lot like started brandi insisted she attend the smallest possible magnet school to make it easier for her to keep track of how all the other parents stored their students of westside school bow their heads in prayer at the burial service for teacher shannon march wright was killed while using her body to shield students from john more and some of the changes were a response to like jonesboro is unusual in that the shooters unlike or any other place where there was a school these shooters were released on their birthdays johnson in golden in johnson was soon for carrying an unregistered but has since been released and is living in golden now lives in missouri and has been married at least he changed his name to drew and used that name to apply for a permit to carry a concealed he was denied after a standard fingerprint this leaves many in jonesboro afraid one or both will come back to finish the one teacher told buzzfeed news that gone so far as to move to a new house with a different phone number and change her including losing pounds so that she would be unrecognizable to her former with so many feeling this it was almost inevitable that they would collide over time with those who felt it was time to move for gave interviews after many other victims had she she wanted to share the renewed faith in god that she had found in her then one day she opened a letter accusing her of grandstanding and the it warned her to students exit columbine high school after two gunmen went on a shooting killing including on april in steve via getty more karen curtner first heard when a reporter asking for not she turning on the television in her westside middle school office on april to watch what was unfolding at columbine high three states and miles lynette in who had not yet stopped teaching social was in her classroom that with its view of the playground where been shot just over a year as other teachers came to warn they formed a held and began to there had been seven school shootings and fatalities since the one in now this in was being carried live on national two students went on a rampage through the killing one teacher and then investigators tag evidence at columbine high dennis more the aftermath the the failed the fights over donated the desire by some to just get over it already was but columbine caught hold of the attention like none that had come both because of the number of victims the time it was the largest school shooting in the united and the new news columbine graduation a month later was also carried by columbine was also the tipping following jonesboro and the idea of a teenager shooting his classmates looked like a grim an evil infecting monsters next read the cover of time newsweek did they do gradually the spotlight leaving the community to piece itself back together in the new much of that fell to frank the principal of who was still suffering the personal aftershocks of facing down the student as he walked out of his office moments after the shooting eric harris and dylan klebold were marching toward long guns one bullet hit a glass wall directly behind he said in an interview with yahoo seeing the volleyball team heading up the hallway toward the deangelis diverted them into a nearby probably saving their the lives he save haunted and through the while planning for the reopening of the school finished the academic year in space shared with another district high he was also trying not to fall he kept seeing the shooters coming toward the killers they were juxtaposed with the boys he thought he knew middle schoolers in their soccer missing seemingly happy him at the prom two weeks he spent nights alone in his basement a stiff drink and my golden unable to unsee the where most of the victims with fbi markers and blood still on the when he managed to it was and he often woke by and went to sit in the local church until counseling and a feeling of responsibility got him through that a template

would inevitably be focused on them and because they are more with advice from all columbine high school reopened in august a phalanx of parents formed a line by the welcoming the students back with a show of emotional and physically shielding them from the the library was though not yet torn down and the walls were repainted in shades that psychologists had advised were a new aquarium was there for the same copious attention had been paid to the fire those alarms had wailed for the entire five hours it took police officers to rescue students from their hiding places in and one thing learned in jonesboro was that the sound of any but particularly that same would trigger emotional tsunamis in those who had been there that deangelis had spent hours in meetings with alarm companies up with sounds that were different to what we had used all around the schools had started responding to the wave of shootings by initiating lockdown but those were a fraught subject at the new hope memorial columbine library at columbine high school in the original where a majority of students were was torn ed more just say we have to do deangelis we did them in baby first there was a version where teachers quietly told students to stand where they would if they were evacuating for a the next step was to add the sound of the alarm only after everyone had taken their places outside the eventually deangelis would give advance warning that there would be a fire drill the next day some parents chose to keep their children home and would count down on the pa system to the moment the alarm went off so it take anyone by for then deangelis found himself trying to balance the needs of those who wanted to move on with those who could were those who felt the sooner i stop talking about the sooner they could he lot of people felt that if we could just get back to doing what we were doing we will be i respectfully to think you are going to forget about what happened that day just because you go back to resuming your daily not going to he pledged to stay in the job until when the last class been present that day had he expanded that pledge to any student who had been in a preschool feeder and retire until as happened at jonesboro and his staff began to former columbine principal deangelis chats with students at the school in april rj denver post via getty more bonds warned me early on that four years percent of your staff members will be he not going to what i anticipate is the impact of walking into the building each people who during summer break seemed to be doing well walked back in and their blood pressure went attrition increased and by the time deangelis only percent of the original staff was also as he the students did prove to be the columbine classes of through the students

thinking of he but during most ordinary he believes was one this was something that happened something that we want to acknowledge and but not going to be the thing that defines me as a columbine shooting victim patrick ireland in december carl bower for yahoo more deangelis says the class he still worries about most is the columbine class of students who graduated on may a month and two days after the then dispersed to college and support for he kids and staff who it was but we had each the ones who they would be sitting in class and the fire alarm went off and they found themselves having a meltdown and they sure or be doing well and five years down the line they would lose it and the help is not in the same he he worries about mass attack victims who do not have a community those who randomly happened to be watching in or a concert in las or even working in various offices in the world trade visiting virginia tech for the first anniversary of the shooting he told faculty and difference for you compared with columbine or paducah or jonesboro is you had kids coming from everywhere different different countries then going back for the people lived in our we had a sense of at first that creates a bigger but i also think it helps with the the columbine memorial in carl bower for yahoo more watching the students heal helped deangelis over he got to the point where when i was coming out of my i seeing the gunmen instead i saw lauren townsend playing i saw isaiah shoals i saw rachel scott on the stage i envisioned danny mauser and kelly fleming down at i saw these kids not dying in our but living in our as he started to he also started making phone not going to remember anything we talk about he would say when he got a shaken community leader on the please take

warn that at only five years newtown still has a long way to dave whose seminal columbine came out years after that and who still keeps in close contact with many noted that who were going to be ok were ok by years or but lots are still not they will continue to be first year was just a constant trying to make it wondering how much more could you curtner the second year brought the realization that time did not heal and by with the anniversary looming in she not so much today like it was the first five years or but never goes it gets but it never goes they will continue to be triggered by

from countries would be judged before a worldwide television audience estimated at trump had purchased the pageant years partnering with it was one of his bringing in millions of dollars a year in revenue perhaps as burnishing his image as an international playboy while in the russian trump was also scouting for new and grand business having spent decades trying but failing to develop projects in miss universe staffers considered it an open secret that true agenda in moscow was not the show but his desire to do business yet to those around him that trump seemed gripped by one where was vladimir from the moment five months earlier when trump announced miss universe would be staged that year in he had seemed obsessed with the idea of meeting the russian you think putin will be going to the miss universe pageant in november in moscow if will he become my new best trump had tweeted in once in trump received a private message from the delivered by aras an oligarch close to putin and partner in hosting the miss universe event putin would like to meet that excited the american developer thought there was a strong chance the russian leader would attend the but as his time in russia

the moscow skyline with his name and enhancing his own status as a sort of global during his time in trump would demonstrate his affinity for the authoritarian leader with flattering and fawning tweets and remarks that were part of a long stretch of comments suggesting an admiration for curious statements about putin during and after this moscow jaunt would later confound intelligence members of and americans of various political even republican party what could possibly explain unwavering sympathy for the russian his refusal to acknowledge repressive his whitewashing of abuses in ukraine and his dismissal of the murders of his blind eye to cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns aimed at subverting western brief trip to moscow held clues to this his two days there would later become much discussed because of allegations that he engaged in weird sexual antics while in russia claims that were not but this visit was significant because it revealed what motivated trump the the opportunity to build more monuments to himself and to make more trump realized that he could attain none of his dreams in moscow without forging a bond with the former kgb lieutenant colonel who was now the president of this trek to russia was the birth of a bromance or something darker that would soon upend american politics and then scandalize and it began in the most improbable way as the

post photos on facebook poking fun at himself for being unkempt and he once wrote a piece for the new york times headlined tricks and trials of traveling while he had been an australian tabloid

looking to get emin more media especially in the united a friend offered a perhaps emin could perform at a miss universe the event had a reputation for showcasing emerging the contest had featured lady would later brag with his usual hyperbole that this appearance was lady big about the same goldstone and emin needed an attractive woman for a music video for song and they wanted the most beautiful woman they could it seemed obvious to them that they should reach out to miss this led to meetings with paula president of the miss universe who reported directly to she agreed to make the reigning miss olivia available for the music the miss universe who had previously been miss was widely considered a trump and over the course of several conversations with goldstone and emin discussed where the next miss universe contest would be at one emin proposed to shugart that miss universe consider mounting its pageant in that fly with at a subsequent emin revised the we have it in he shugart was interested but the pageant had looked at moscow it had not identified a suitable venue and it was fearful of running into too much red if you had a partner who owns the biggest venue in

let the officers but he was so frightened that he could not bring himself to leave his apartment and meet seth in the courtyard when he arrived and reported that the vans had rumors spread that ice was planning another and residents began asking harry whether his pastor would let them stay at the reformed church not exactly the kind of housing that the thought would be their seth assumed that if he asked permission from the governing or he would be turned so he decided on his own to let families sleep in classrooms in the school for two once he did inform the after the danger seemed to have

six weeks in the middlesex county jail before being were not taken mostly because they had not been required to register under and therefore were not yet in any official ice nearly all of them were fathers of young most of those just watched it she backed off the subject the because it was making people here seth the next couple of periodically hear about people getting picked up but we do in that all got seth harry was picked when we flew into in the years after the the pangemanans were deeply involved in everything that happened at the reformed church of highland younger daughter was baptized and attended the religious wife was a leader of a group of indonesian women who hosted fellowship and fundraising like the the pangemanans also arranged their work lives so that they could

and harry pangemanan strategize ahead of the order for a temporary stay of alan chin for yahoo more somehow seth talked his way through the tsa security checkpoint without a telling officers that he had a congregant who was being deported and he need to pray with him before he the departure doors had closed by the time he got to the but he talked his way onto the plane with the help of an irish catholic gate agent who saw him on his knees at the praying and assumed he was a she and the plane door was opened from the as he came down the aisle to the last row where harry was sitting between

those calls was he says the one to dora a newly appointed special adviser to janet the new secretary of homeland security who had tasked schriro with a review of immigration detention she listened to soon without harry was driven to the right up to a waiting plane on the immigration officers handed him an envelope and harry know where he was headed until he opened the packet and found a ticket to

officer in scott led to an seth would encourage the nearly men in central new jersey with final deportation orders pending to come forward and webber would grant them stays of removal like the one given to they would be under the supervision of the like they would be able to get documentation like licenses and work there would be limit on the by which webber he hoped immigration reform would pass and make the stays as a show of good webber released not only the two men who had been arrested outside the but also five other indonesians in ice custody at the believing in their nearly indonesian men came forward in under the then immigration reform never and ice deportations nationwide increased to a the two years the local orders of supervision and in the fall of all those who had registered under the program received a cash and baggage letter with an order to report to the ice offices in newark on december they were to bring a ticket back to and no more than pounds of they were being without hesitation this seth publicly urged the indonesians to defy the the men did attend their ice accompanied by church but brought neither luggage or airline most left with short term extensions of their stays but including were unlike in by the consistory had already voted to become a sanctuary for as long as the immigrants needed a place to they understood that it is technically legal for ice to enter a house of worship a federal judge authorizes a but they counted on the reluctance to take such a lose the evangelical vote when you enter a seth harry temporary bedroom at the reformed church of highland alan chin for yahoo more the nine sanctuary seekers spent nights in the they slept on mattresses in religious school which were propped up out of the way against the walls during the the local fire inspector waived the rules to permit provided one congregant stayed awake all night on fire for the first two those in residence created a makeshift bathtub using a garden hose and a kiddie pool in a downstairs public but when it became clear this would be a long harry worked with plumbers and carpenters to build a during the summer a volleyball net was set up in the social everyone but the pangemanans would sneak home at pretending to still be in sanctuary mostly when reporters came this was not without one the wife of one of the nine men lost her usual ride to her housecleaning so her husband drove her at a few blocks away from their they were stopped by an ice officer and the husband was taken into he was soon however an hour after a local reporter called ice to ask about the in late october of superstorm sandy made landfall in new about miles south of the the nine who had been living there turned it into a different kind of setting up filling the social hall with collecting donated cooking indonesian meals for neighbors without eventually harry began to leave the building too driving vanloads of donated supplies down to the devastated towns of the jersey risking being detained again and eventually this would become his using skills gained during all those months of keeping himself occupied at the church by doing repair work on the plumbing and electrical he turned to rebuilding homes demolished by over the next few he would work on more than of paid by grants and donations to the church for hurricane harry pangemanan took on the job as repairman for the alan chin for yahoo more but first he had to get his freedom on estes and others were called to washington to meet with the federal director of the dhs enforcement and removal gary who offered a all nine of the men in would be given this was not not a path to but rather an lifting of the threat of the new stays were consistent with a memo written a year in by john the director of known as the memo on prosecutorial it allowed ice attorneys to take a list of mitigating factors into account when deciding whether to deport an undocumented one of which was that the deportation of the noncitizen parent would harm american citizen for the next five no indonesians in the area were detained by the reformed church of highland park turned its attention to other immigrant helping to relocate refugees from congo and the congregation opened the global grace café in a large room outside the staffed entirely by refugee chefs who create hearty meals from their homelands on a rotating and the list of apartment buildings owned by the affordable housing a subsidiary of the grew to after his work on the jersey shore was harry was hired as the property manager of both the church building and of the nadja a syrian refugee and immigrant who cooks once a week at the cafe at the reformed church of highland alan chin for yahoo more pastor seth says he knew the election of would change things for his undocumented but he was surprised that things changed so is a whole new he an executive order issued a week after the inauguration effectively nullified all deportation stays except those protected under daca which the clock would not run down for another it also meant that any undocumented immigrant caught by ice could be deported whether they were on a registry or whether they were the intended target of a raid or just happened to be and even if hey had previously been granted stays for extenuating mostly using information provided by the immigrants ice began detaining and deporting at a record while the total number of deportations was higher in the last year of the obama administration than in the first year of the current that is mostly because the obama deportations were predominantly of new arrivals caught crossing the border from and the number of such people dropped sharply this in a human rights watch report released in december found that the number of people detained within the united states people like harry who had been here for a while and had an established paper trail increased by percent in at the same deportations of people with no criminal history other than their initial overstay of their visa the man overseeing the enforcement of the new ice acting director thomas rejected the idea that this enforcement was either excessive or constant story about us separating he told cnn last someone enters this country or someone overstays their they know in this country if they take it upon themselves to have a child in

to return for he went to the called ice and said he was seeking since they knew where he he he would be removing the and on of this harry was about to drive his daughter to school when he noticed a

republican national committee chairman reince priebus to stay on am now listening to people that are telling me to be be he you and doing i know if what the country but clearly not backing off his

political columnist yahoo politics july the last time hung out with john on a plane ride across ohio three years he had offered me life advice from gandalf the a very fine but this is a wide and you think all these things happen by so it really surprise me within two minutes of sliding into our booth at the big boy diner in columbus last he started pressing me to revisit you go to governor asked while his press aide was off on an break to get water for the you read the maybe you do you realize how much wisdom there is there for feeling oddly i mumbled something about being just find that it kind of tells us the best way to live our and we get to learn from the mistakes of others and the strengths of kasich went he was wearing a light blue golf shirt and had just come from a i know why we be reading more important than that so you read so maybe think about who will announce his entry into the presidential race offered that he himself had been unable to find the time to read he converted to an evangelical brand of protestantism after a drunk driver killed his parents years then he and all at once he seemed to as if catching himself in an old and irritating he gently throwing up his just the way it have things figured not that great a so who am i to acting listen to i can tell you an easy thing to say but harder to i wondered aloud if calling yourself even in the nonsecular was an odd way to embark on a presidential saying is a flawed kasich told i say because i look and i say first of not running and when i say i mean that i always know the in terms of the depths of my my heart and my i try to work on these things and study these he shook his i was and i guess now but not an easy kasich seemed to be enjoying this conversation about his spiritual and i was but having talked to some of his friends and i could almost hear their collective why does the guy have to do this kind of if you were going to sit down and on the ideal republican candidate for you might come up with a résumé a lot like the son of a he was elected to congress when he was and went on to become the forceful and chairman of the powerful house budget where he helped negotiate balanced budgets in the then house budget committee celebrates a budget agreement in with senate majority leader bob dole and house speaker newt doug after a decade working for lehman brothers and hosting his own show on fox kasich got himself elected to the governorship in and reelected with percent of the vote last having presided over an impressive economic as governors like scott walker and chris christie struggle to explain their unpopularity at who closed a billion budget gap even while slashing taxes and trying to eliminate the income tax boasts an approval rating of over and when the crowd of presidential politics shows up on cable the kasich is never in what they call the top and because the popular narrative holds that he may just be too impetuous and too to be president in other that the kind of guy who shows up to an interview and starts just because on his continue reading when at last i changed the subject and raised this unflattering narrative with he brushed it aside as the stuff of beltway lot of people used to say that i was he told come how do you balance the budget or fix ohio or do what i did for the years i was out and be but not real good at being i like to be i like to be able to be it real who said kasich asked said i like written before that in as in your greatest strengths always turn out to be your greatest just look at the republican jeb bush is a known quantity with a famous but his biggest vulnerability is that all that history links him too firmly to the scott walker has a way of framing but that also means he may struggle to demonstrate much marco rubio has the advantage of being young and culturally the problem there is that young and culturally so it is with no ever said the guy extraordinarily bright and with a authenticity and probing intellect that have always made him politically as one of newt chief lieutenants in the kasich went after corporate welfare and the bomber as a conservative governor eyeing the he accepted the expansion of medicaid and has been a vocal champion of for minority kasich has an instinctive aversion to anything that sounds like talking points or curt a longtime adviser to ohio described this quality to me as by which he means that like a jazz will riff in a way that seems discordant but somehow resonates on a deeper but presidential politics it is thought to require a fair amount of rote repetitiveness and diplomacy is why donald for all his will likely flame out before the snow falls in it also requires a good deal of which is something with all that authenticity and the latent resentment that sometimes comes with often has a hard time holding on one of his worst moments as governor came when a video surfaced showing a belligerent in a lecture to government referring to a state cop who once pulled him over as an a few weeks the website of the cleveland plain dealer ran this headline over an by brent its former editorial page john kasich runs the risk of being perceived as a have to think they were going for as we sat in a diner kasich finds so uplifting that he once felt moved to call the owner and leave him a complimentary kasich insisted that the rest of the country was about to meet a politician who had grown more measured with i was a ball of fire in this he recalling his early years in the just no question different than i i would hope when going to be better than i am kasich with his daughter then in al kasich said he had learned to be more like the father of his it was a telling gingrich had suggested to me that having raised twin daughters now had mellowed kasich considerably over the as fatherhood often wife told me that one kasich the father of would you act like so would kasich need to rein himself in during the long slog the people of this state rewarded me unlike rewarded he can all get but you you also want to take the starch out of john kasich do my closest my they will tell me where they think i can and i will listen to not going to read a column in a newspaper written by somebody that i or nobody ever spent any real time with what do they they know neither did or not a few minutes kasich abruptly cut me off in the middle of a know what it is about he staring across the i braced expecting some kind of think you get kasich get all of but you get i started to say i then he leaned forward and cut me off in if a congressman down do you know how much energy it takes to move that kasich his voice you know how amazing it is to limit the production of a major defense do you know how hard it is to move the system and balance the do you know what that when people has too much or too or whatever you get anything done i was in president is a little governor is a little you call the the strange thing here is that whatever impressions linger of temperament are almost certainly lost on actual most of them remember him from congress years and in any event going to get an look at the man in the weeks they can decide for but kasich is getting into the race late if bothering to keep track and the battle for activists and money is whether the popular governor of ohio can position himself as a serious contender among party insiders will in on whether they believe truly team clearly understands the importance of dispelling the old earlier this his pac released what amounts to his first campaign ad produced by fred the renegade adman best known for creating the infamous spot for carly doomed senate run in the ad opens with a cacophonous of all the other clichéd followed by a female voice what about us then in a sober dark suit and white shirt and graying telling his story in a fatherly easily the best ad of the early presidential season so far not just because it feels fresher and more authentic than anything else but because it goes right to the heart of talking to the he seems in he seems undeniably with texas george bush after kasich endorsed bush for president after ending his own campaign in as you may ran for president once in the to the although he was at the he describes himself then as a and probably an accurate summation of what republican voters the party establishment closed ranks around a governor named george bush and blocked off the avenues for just about everyone and kasich ran out of cash just kept running into the wall and crack kasich told was it was unusual for me in that no matter how hard i worked at i feel like i was making i pointed out that he had never waged a losing campaign before then he shook his head talking about he i keep struggling and keep working at i can usually get i have to and i guess i never really thought about it this but i think it was just the frustration of feeling like i make any you would think the memory of this might give kasich pause as he surveys the terrain for here his establishment is enamored of a guy named with all the fundraising and organizing muscle the name brings with to this kasich barely registers in national polls and is very much in danger of being cut out of the first debate next while donald trump and ben carson command the worse the debate happens to be in when i raised the specter of this humiliation with he tried to sound not a fortune are he asked control i worry about things that i can have some impact and things i what am i going to in really much like this the bush in the field is leading polls with only a small and according to an exhaustive analysis by nicholas confessore and sarah cohen in the new york times last the of republican fundraisers and contributors have thus far been sitting this one waiting for the field to take kasich with members of the ohio team at the national junior high finals rodeo in des in michael des moines register via kasich may be the last major entrant into the race the former virginia is apparently still planning to get for some but that also means he feel as played out as some of the contenders who have been hanging around for months you could see how voters in iowa might already be tired of been up and down so much by now that the media actually billed his announcement speech as a comeback and kasich has not only a strong case to in terms of his success in but also a style that suits the the most successful candidates of the modern era bill george barack obama have managed not only to capture the bases of their parties but also to the reform ethos that seems to resurface with every even as pushed into ideological and especially younger feel less connected to the artifice and predictability of party politics and yearn for something real kasich is probably better situated to exploit that impulse than any other the trick for him is to somehow walk the line of candor without crossing the boundary into provocation to come across as the grownup alternative who defies convention and rather than another challenger starved for near the end of our conversation at i asked kasich about hillary republicans like just about everyone else right now assume be the democratic and one of the central questions for candidates this fall will be how they intend to beat her after losing two consecutive known her a long kasich told think all about a big what all got the bigger who can connect best and give people the sense that going to be treated that going to be i i have my views of which at some point i will he started in on a preview of what the kasich vision will sound a concern in this country that the american dream is being that maybe my kids have it as good as i got it from my kasich for a i assumed he was going to sound like every other republican candidate who prattles on about the american but then came one of those kasich the system is the system is the system is anybody looking out for am i all i never read the but i i think a person that has the credibility to stop we can do this can this is a great going to be and some things going to and not going to get and if we have to do some things where we have to no going to be left if you know not going to get special if the we love i sat there for a trying to imagine the power this message could if he

at least feet from the and a vast majority of the people who passed by the tent appeared to be law enforcement and convention workers rather than the delegates the protesters hoped to even if the shouts had been it was nearly impossible to imagine delegates deciding to switch their votes after clinton decisively won the nomination and earned bernie supporters make a last stand yet some of stalwarts who came to the convention were clearly unable to let go of his campaign even though the vermont senator had conceded the the protesters along the barricades said they viewed clinton as insufficiently progressive and claimed that the primary was rigged in her main point is we will not unite behind hillary said christina a restaurant worker who came to the convention from is exactly

trump it is the exact my government is running like a in his freewheeling trump addressed topics including but not limited the margin of his electoral college the price of street the his conversations with world female his daughter military his planned border lying politicians and the dishonest trump speaks during a news conference at the white house in on more below is a transcription of opening remarks and the that thank you very i just wanted to begin by mentioning that the nominee for secretary of the department of labor will be alex he has a law degree from harvard law was a great former clerk for justice samuel and he has had a tremendous a member and has been a member of the national labor relations and has been through senate confirmation three did very and so wished him the we just and going to be i think be a tremendous secretary of and also as you probably heard just a little while mick former has just been approved weeks i have to say weeks office of management and and he will be i think a fantastic paul singer just as you paul was very much involved with the or as they and paul just left and given us his total and all about unifying the party and hopefully going to be able to unify the very important to been talking about that for a long very important to so i want to thank paul singer for being here and for coming up to the he was a very strong and now a very strong and i appreciate i think say a few and then take some and i had this been negotiating a lot of different transactions to save money on contracts that were including airplane contracts that were out of control and late and just absolutely catastrophic in terms of what was and done some really good very proud of and then right after you prepare do some unless you have enough always a here today to update the american people on the incredible progress that has been made in the last four weeks since my we have made incredible i think ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what a new rasmussen in fact because the people get it much of the media get they actually get but they write put it that but a new rasmussen poll just came out just a very short while and it has our approval rating at percent and going the stock market has hit record as you and there has been a tremendous surge of optimism in the business which is to me means something much different than it used it used to now it good for very plants and factories are already starting to move back into the united and big league general so many of making this presentation directly to the american with the media which is an honor to have this because many of our reporters and folks will not tell you the and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they and i hope going forward we can be a little bit a little bit and maybe get along a little bit if maybe and much of the media in along with new los angeles in speaks not for the but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very obviously broken the press has become so dishonest that if we talk we are doing a tremendous disservice to the american tremendous we have to talk to find out going because the press honestly is out of the level of dishonesty is out of i ran for president to present the citizens of our i am here to change the broken system so it serves their families and their communities i am talking and really talking on this very entrenched power and what doing is talking about the power talking about its as a the media is going through what they have to go through too often times distort not all the time and some of the media is i have to honest and but much of it is not a the distortion and talk about be able to ask me questions about but not going to let it because here to take my message straight to the as you our administration inherited many problems across government and across the to be i inherited a a at home and a jobs are pouring out of the you see going on with all of the companies leaving our going to mexico and other low low mass instability no matter where you the middle east is a north korea take care of it going to take care of it i just want to let you i inherited a beginning on day our administration went to work to tackle these on foreign already begun enormously productive talks with many foreign much of it to move forward towards security and peace in the most troubled regions of the which there are we have had great conversations with the united and china and really productive i would say far more productive than you would even developed a new council with canada to promote business leaders and very important to very important to my daughter i have directed our defense community headed by our great now secretary over there now working very hard to submit a plan for the defeat of a group that celebrates the murder and torture of innocent people in large sections of the it used to be a small now in large sections of the spread like isis has spread like cancer another mess i and we have imposed new sanctions on the nation of whose totally taken advantage of our previous and the top sponsor of and not going to stop until that problem is properly and not properly solved one of the worst agreements ever seen drawn by ordered plan to begin building for the massive rebuilding of the united states had great support from the had great from pursued this rebuilding in the hopes that we will never have to use this and i will tell you that is my i would be so happy if we never had to use but our country will never have had a military like the military about to build and we have the greatest people on earth in our but they have the right equipment and their equipment is i used i talked about it at every depleted it be depleted for and i think one of the reason standing here instead of other people is that i talked about we have to have a strong we have to have a strong law enforcement so we do not go abroad in the search of we really are searching for but its peace through at we have begun the monumental task of returning the government back to the people on a scale not seen in many in each of these keeping my promises to the american these are campaign some people are so surprised that having strong what been talking about for a year and a strong so he having strong well what been talking about to the press and to everybody one promise after another after years of politicians lying to you to get they lied to the american people in order to get some of the things doing probably popular but necessary for security and for other and then coming to washington and pursuing their own interests which is more important to many here following through on what i pledged to all i put it out before the american got electoral college i supposed to get they said no way to get which you that was we got because people came out and voted like never seen before so the way it i guess it was the biggest electoral college win since ronald in other the trying to attack our administration because they know we are following through on pledges that we made and not happy about it

rex out there negotiating right general mattis i mentioned general we have great mick is with us we have great among their responsibilities will be ending the bleeding of jobs from our country and negotiating fair trade deals for our now fair not if a country is taking advantage of not going to let that happen every country takes advantage of us i may be able to find a couple that but for the most that would be a very tough job for me to jobs have already started to since my ford announced it will abandon its plans to build a new factory in and will instead invest million in creating many fiat chrysler announced it will invest billion in ohio and creating new american they were with me a week you know you were general motors likewise committed to invest billions of dollars in its american manufacturing keeping many jobs here that were going to and if i get believe they would have and these jobs and these things that announcing would never have come intel just announced that it

year because of our various plans and there will be many many these are a few that other countries have been taking advantage of us for decades and and and not going to let that happen not going to

action on behalf of the great citizens of our i say there has never been a presidency done so much in such a short period of and we have not even started the big work that starts early next some very big things are going to be announced next so we are just getting we will be giving a as i in at i hope to see you and with i just god bless and take some go you were cut off pretty violently at our last news mike flynn is a fine and i asked for his he respectfully gave he is a man who there was a certain amount of information given to vice president who is with us and i was not happy with the way that information was he have to do because what he did wrong what he did in terms of the information he what was wrong was the way that other including yourselves in this were given that because that was classified information that was given the real you you can talk all you want about which was all you fake fabricated to try and make up for the loss of the democrats and the press plays right into in i saw a couple of the people that were supposedly involved with all of this that they know nothing about they in they never made a phone call to they never received a phone all fake all fake the nice thing i see it starting to where people are now looking at the illegal i think very important the giving out classified it was and let me just tell it was given out like so give you an i as you it was a very classified but i called and in calling i well i spoke to the president of i had a good all of a out there for the world to supposed to be supposed to be either confidential or in that same thing with all of a people are finding out exactly what took the same thing happened with respect to general everybody saw and saying the first thing i thought of when i heard about it how does the press get this information how do they do you know because an illegal process and the press should be ashamed of but more the people that gave out the information to the press should be ashamed of really go because when i looked at the i think he did anything if he did something he was coming into he looked at the he what supposed to supposed to he just call he called and spoke to both i think there were doing the you he was doing his the thing he tell our vice president and then he said he so either it very satisfactory to and i have somebody that i think will be outstanding for the and that also i in the making of my but he tell the vice president of the united states the and then he and that just acceptable to clarification during your did anyone from your team russian government or russian and if what was the nature of those conversations the failing new york times wrote a long story and it was very much as you it was a and the people mentioned in the i notice they were on television today saying they never even spoke to they even a really i they were such a minor they i spoken to i think the one person i think ever spoken to i think ever met and he actually said he was a very member of i think a committee for a short period of i think i ever met possible that i walked into a room and he was sitting but i think i ever met i talk to him and he thought it was a the other person said he never spoke to never received a look at his phone et et and the other people knew that he represented various but i think he represented but knew that he represented various what he i people know by the by the way a respected a respected but i think he represented the ukraine or ukraine government or but everybody people knew everybody knew these people and he said that he has absolutely nothing to do and never has with and he said that very i saw his he said it very most of the papers print it because not good for their so the three people that they talked about all totally deny and i can tell speaking for i own nothing in i have no loans in i have any deals in president putin called me up very nicely to congratulate me on the win of the he called me up extremely nicely to congratulate me on the which was but so did many other almost all other leaders from almost all of the so the russia is fake russia this is fake news put out by the the real news is the fact that probably from the obama administration because because we have our new people going in right as you mike pompeo has has now taken control of the james comey at dan coats is waiting to be i mean he is a senator and a highly respected one and still waiting to be but our new people are going and just while at because you mentioned wall street journal did a story today that was almost as disgraceful as the failing new york and it talked about these are front so director of national intelligence just put acting a any suggestion that the united states intelligence this was just given to is withholding information and not providing the best possible intelligence to the president and his national security team is not so they took this front page story out of the wall street journal top and they just wrote the story that its not and tell you be because i sort of enjoy this back and forth that i guess i have all my life but never seen more dishonest media than the political i thought the financial media was much much more but i will say i never get phone calls from the how did they write a story like that in the wall street journal without asking me or how did they write a story in the new york put it on front that was like the story they wrote about the women and front big massive and it was nasty and then they they said we never said we like they called up my we like we never said and it was totally they totally misrepresented those very wonderful i have to tell totally i said give us the they never gave us a retraction and i then went on to other go said today that you have big intellectual margins or more or electoral president obama about skipping that i i was just given we had a very big i i was given that i was given i seen that information but it was a very substantial do you agree with ok thank go ahead can you tell us in determining that lieutenant general flynn did whether there was no wrongdoing in your what evidence was did you ask for transcripts of these telephone intercepts with russian particularly the ambassador sergey who he was communicating what what evidence did you weigh to determine that there was no further to you said on a couple of locations this you are going to aggressively pursue the source of these we can we ask what going to do and heard about a a review of the intelligence community headed up by steven what can you tell us about first of all about we now have dan hopefully mike pompeo and james comey and in position so i hope that be able to straighten that out without using anybody the gentleman you mentioned is a very talented very successful man and offered his services and you something we may take advantage but i think need that at all because of the fact that you i think that we are gonna be able to straighten it out very easily on its as far as the when i first heard about i said that sound my counsel don white house and he told me and i asked he can speak very well for he said he think anything is you really it was what happened after that but he think anything was done i either because i waited a period of time and i started to think about i said i to he was doing the the information was provided by who i sally and i was a little surprised because i said sound like he did anything wrong but he did something wrong with respect to the vice president and i thought that was not as far as as far as the actual making the fact watched various programs and read various articles where he was just doing his that was very you first everybody got excited because they thought he did something after they thought about it turned out he was just doing his so and i and by the with all of that being i do think a fine if i on the leaks on the go finish off then get what will you do on the said twice today looking at them very very gone to all of the folks in charge of the various agencies and actually called the justice department to look into the those are criminal put out by people either in agencies i think see it stopping because now we have our people you we have our people in because we get them approved by the we just had jeff sessions in as an we are looking into that very a criminal you know what i when i when i was called out on i was shocked because all this all this incredible phone equipment when i was called out on i was i was really but i said it make that but that that important a it was i could show it to the world and he could show it to the the president a very fine by the same thing with i said terrible that it was but it that but then i said to myself happens when dealing with the problem of north what happens when dealing with the problems in the middle are you folks going to be reporting all of that very confidential very very you i mean at the highest are you going to be reporting about that i want classified information getting out to the public and in a way that was almost a so dealing with dealing with we were dealing on this case with mike all this information gets put into the and gets put into the york and saying going to happen when dealing on the middle going to happen when dealing with really important subjects like north we got to stop why a criminal i just want to get you to clarify this very important can you say definitively that nobody on your campaign had any contacts with the russians during the and on the is it fake news or are these real well the leaks are the one that wrote about them and reported i mean the leaks are you know what they you saw it and the leaks are absolutely the news is fake because so much of the news is so one thing that i felt it was very important to do and i hope we can correct because nobody i have more respect for maybe a little bit but the good very important to me and especially in this very i mind bad i can handle a bad story better than anybody as long as true you over a course of make mistakes and write badly and ok with but not ok when it is i i watch so much anger and hatred and just the i watch it any more because very good saying have your but i watch others not the only one so feel but i think it should be i think it should be i think it would be frankly more i know how good ratings are right now but i think that actually i think actually be people i you have a lower approval rate than i think i is that one because you know i think they have lower i heard lower than but the public would appreciate appreciate it i mind bad stories when true but we have an administration where the democrats are making it very i think setting a record or close to a record in the time of approval of a i the numbers are when some of them had them approved going forever and i still have a lot of people that waiting and all is and you look at schumer and the mess that got over there and they have nothing the only thing they can do is you i think that be better served you approving and making sure that happy and and sometimes i i know president obama lost three or and you lose them on the and but i think it would i think they would be much better if they just went through the process this is pure delay and they say and everybody understands go i had nothing to do with i have nothing to do with i told i have no deals i have no when which i had nothing to do comes out and happens to not giving classified giving stuff what was said at an office about hillary cheating on the by the nobody nobody mentions that hillary received the questions to the can you imagine seriously can you imagine if i received the it would be the electric he should be put in the electric you would even call for the reinstitution of the death maybe not you do you next i do you sure did you direct mike flynn to discuss sanctions with the russian ambassador i prior to your i i and then fired him excuse i fired him because of what he said to mike very mike was doing his he was calling countries and his it certainly would have been ok with me if he did i would have directed him to do it if i thought he doing i direct but i would have directed him because his and it came out that way and in all i watched charles krauthammer the other night say he was doing his job and i agreed with and since watched many other people say i direct but i would have directed him if he do thank you very and just for the we hate i hate pass that along ask ask jeff zucker how he got his if i may follow up on some of the questions that have taken place so far sir you we do have other you do have other people and your ratings as good as some of the other people that are pretty good right go if i may you said earlier that wikileaks was revealing information about the hillary clinton campaign during the election you welcomed at one time i was ok with you said you said that you loved at another campaign press conference you called on the russians to find the missing if you she was actually missing and then that got extended with a pile after then your numbers were off no but i did say but it was actually higher than if if i may ask it it sounds as though you do not have much credibility here when it comes to leaking if that is something that you encouraged during the campaign fair if i may ask you that no but let me do one at a if i may as a follow do you all in one talking about highly classified in the other talking about john podesta saying bad things about the i will say if john podesta said that about me and he was working for i would have fired him so fast your head would have he said terrible things about but it classified but in one talking about classified if you look at the we had a very strong at my suggestion and i give reince great credit for this at my because i know something about this i said i want a very strong defensive i want to be and we did and you have seen that they tried to hack us and they the dnc did not do and if they did they could not have been but they were hacked and terrible things came you the only thing that i do think is unfair is some of the things were so they were when i heard some of those things i picked up the papers the next morning and this is going to be front it even in the if i had that happen to it would be the biggest story in the history of publishing or the head of i would have been headline in every i think of they gave her the questions to a debate and she and she should have reported why did hillary clinton announce but i have been given the questions to a debate or a town and i feel that and i want to turn in cnn for not doing a good and if i may follow up on just something that jonathan karl was asking you you said that the leaks are but the news is i guess i it seems that a disconnect if the information coming from those leaks is then how can the stories be the reporting is look you know what it the the public you they read they see they they know if true or false because not been involved with this stuff all my but so i know when telling the truth or when i just see many untruthful and tell you what else i i see you know the word the tone is such really not a bad by the but the tone is such i do get good you have to admit that the tone is such i watched this morning a couple of the and i have to fox friends in the very honorable very not because because they hit me also when i do something but they have the most honest morning all i can the most but the if you look the i sometimes sometimes somebody you look at your show that goes on at in the you just take a look at that that is a constant the panel is almost always exclusive the good news is he have good but the panel is almost exclusive and the hatred and venom coming from his the hatred coming from other people on your i will say i watch i see amazed by and i just think be a lot better i honestly the public gets you when i go to they turn they start screaming at they want to throw their placards at you i i think you would do much better by being but you just take a take a look at some of your shows in the morning and the if a guest comes out and says something positive about take this news conference actually having a very good but take this news conference the way i i used to give you a news conference every time i made a which was like every how i i won with news conferences and probably i certainly win by people listening to you for but having a good they will trump rants and raves at the not ranting and just telling you dishonest but but not ranting and i love having a good time doing but the headlines are going to trump rants and not ranting and go if i just one more followup should i let him have a little bit what do you should i have let him have a little bit sit sit just because of the attack of fake news and attacking our i just want to ask sir changing it from fake that under very fake i but go real real and not related to our new i am not i do like the sound of secretary i must i looked you i looked at that i wait a is there any relation alex sure you checked that now i checked it i said they i me a go back and check the family but you you that you are undermining the faith in the first freedom of the the press in this when you call stories you like why not just say a story i i do when you call it undermining confidence in our news media i do the i understand what and right about except i know when i should get good and when i should get and sometimes going to be a great and get i know good and be a pretty good not as good as but i know i know and when they change it and make it really something that should be positive sometimes something that should be very make even make it so i understand because i know what was i know saying so very important to i want to see an honest when i started off today by saying that so important to the public to get an honest the press the public believe you people maybe i had something to do with i but they believe if you were straight and really told it like it as howard cosell used to of he had some questions but if you were i would be your biggest i would be your biggest fan in the including bad stories about but if you go as an i mean story after story after story is i i and the other chaos because zero we are running this is a machine and reince happens to be doing a good job but half of his job is putting out lies by the press you i said to him yesterday this whole russia scam that you guys are building so that you talk about the real subject which is illegal but i watched him yesterday working so hard to try and get that story and saying my chief of a really good did a phenomenal job at i he won the we won the we got some we got some all over the you take a done a great and i said to you know and i said to somebody that was in the i said take a look at working so hard just putting out fires that are fake i not and that a shame because rather be working on rather be working on tax i mean i would be your biggest fan in the world if you treated me i sort of understand a certain bias maybe by jeff or you know you whatever but and i understand but got to be at least a little bit fair and why the public sees they see they see not you take a look at some of your shows and you see the bias and the and the public is they understand go for those who believe that there is something to is there anything that you have learned over the last few weeks that you might be able to reveal that might ease their concerns that this fake and second i think they believe i think the public why the rasmussen poll just has me through the i think they believe i guess one of the reasons here today is to tell you the whole russian a a and by the it would be great if we could get along with just so you understand now say trump wants to get along with this is not we had hillary clinton try and do a we had hillary clinton give russia percent of the uranium in our you know what uranium this thing called nuclear weapons like lots of things are done with uranium including some bad nobody talks about i do anything for done nothing for hillary clinton gave them percent of our hillary clinton did a with the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of take a he looked at her what the hell is she doing with that cheap plastic hillary clinton that was the remember it said now if i do a bad if we could get along with a positive we have a very talented rex going to be meeting with them shortly and i told i said know politically probably not good for the greatest thing i could do is shoot that ship miles off shore right out of the everyone in this going to so not not i would love to be able to get along with had a lot of presidents that taken that look where we are look where we are if i can i love to negotiate i do it really and all that but but possible i be able to get along with maybe it but i want to just tell the false reporting by the by you the fake reporting makes it much harder to make a deal with and probably putin said sitting behind his desk and saying i see going on in the united i follow it going to be impossible for president trump to ever get along with russia because of all the pressure got with this fake and a shame because if we could get along with russia and by the china and japan and if we could get it would be a positive not a negative is tax reform on the since tax reform is going to happen fairly doing in final we should be submitting the initial plan in early i would and we have as you statutorily and for reasons of we have to go not the tax would be in my but for statutory reasons and for budgetary we have to submit the healthcare so be submitting healthcare sometime in early and after going to come and doing very well on tax you mentioned talk about some serious issues that have come up in the last week that you have had to deal with as president of the united you mentioned the vessel the spy vessel off the coast of the united not there was a ballistic missile test that many interpret as a violation of an agreement between the two and a russian plane buzzed a not i listened to you during the campaign excuse excuse when did it it happened if you were putin right you would back to the old games with the united no way trump can ever do a deal with because the you have to if i was just brutal on russia right just people would you would that but i know you well then you would he was too he have done all of the just trying to find out your orientation to those wait a excuse me just one all of those things that you mentioned are very because probably putin assumes that not going to be able to make a deal with me because politically not popular for me to make a so hillary clinton tries a it they all but different than those go how are you interpreting those and what do you intend to do about have you given rex tillerson any advice or counsel on how to i i and so beautifully so honored that the senate approved going to be i think that already is putin testing do you i think i think putin probably assumes that he make a deal with me anymore because politically it would be unpopular for a politician to make a i believe saying a but i guess what i am it would be much easier for me to be tough on but then not going to make a i know that going to make a i we we might but it would be much easier for me to be so tough the tougher i am on the but you know i want to do the right thing for the american and to be i want to do the right thing for the if russia and the united states actually got together and got along and a very powerful nuclear country and so are no a very powerful nuclear country and so are i have been and i can tell you one thing about a briefing that allowed to say because anybody that ever read the most basic book can say nuclear holocaust would be like no a very powerful nuclear country and so are if we have a good relationship with believe a good not a bad so when you say not do you mean that they are who did i say is not i read off the three things that have recently each one of them you said not not but they but do they damage the do they undermine they all happened no this ability to work with they all happened and i understand what doing because doing the same maybe not going to be able to do a deal with but at least i will have and if i does anybody really think that hillary clinton would be tougher on russia than donald does anybody in this room really believe but i tell you one she tried to make a she had the she gave all that valuable uranium she did other you they say close to hillary clinton gave away percent of the uranium in the united close to can we i gave you know what i gave to you know what i can we conclude there will be no response to these particular not going to tell you anything about what response i i talk about military i say going into mosul in four are going to attack mosul in four then three months are going to attack mosul in one next we are going to attack in the mosul is very do you know because i talk about and i talk about certain other going to be surprised to hear and by the my whole say so i have to tell i want to be one of these guys that what going to i have to do i have to tell you what going to do in north wait a i have to tell you what going to do in north and i have to tell you what going to do with you know because they and you guys are going to get tired of asking that so when you ask me what am i going to do with a the russian ship as an not going to tell but i have to do but not going to tell could i just ask you thank you very the trouble where are you another a good free and president just like on the travel ban we could banter back and on the travel ban would you accept that that was a good example of the smooth running of government i i let me tell you about this government were there any mistakes i know who you just let me tell you about the travel we had a very smooth rollout of the travel but we had a bad got a bad we had a court been may be but i think percent of the a we had a bad going to keep going with that going to put in a new executive order next week some but we had a bad the other thing that was wrong with the travel you had delta with a massive problem with their computer system at the you had some people that were put out brought by very nice and they were put out at various despite that the only problem that we had is we had a bad we had a court that gave us what i consider to with great a very bad very bad for the safety and security of our the rollout was what i wanted to do was do the exact same executive but said one i said this to my give them a period of but now said if you do all these people will come in and the bad you do agree there are bad people out that not everybody like you have some bad people out kelly said you do and he was as soon as he said it i said never thought of i said how about one he said no you got to do it immediately because if you do it immediately they have time to come now nobody ever reports but why we did it if i done it a everything been the problem is we wasted a lot of and maybe a lot of lives because a lot of bad people come into our now in the vetting very very but we need and we need help by getting that executive order just a brief but if so why not introduce go thank i was just hoping that we could get a yes or no answer on one of these questions involving can you say whether you are aware that anyone who advised your campaign had contacts with russia during the course of the well i told flynn obviously was so one but he was as he should have during the nobody that i know so not aware of any contact during the look of the how many times do i have to answer this can you just say yes or russia is a i know you have to get up and ask a so russia is a i have nothing to do with made a phone call to russia in speak to people from not that i i just have nobody to speak i spoke to putin he called me on the i told you and he called me on the a few days we had a very good especially the second lasted for a pretty long period of sure you probably get it because it was so sure everybody in this room perhaps has but we had a very good i have nothing to do with to the best of my knowledge no person that i deal with manafort has totally denied he denied now people knew that he was a consultant over in that part of the world for a but not for i think he represented ukraine or people having to do with or people that but people knew everybody knew but in his capacity as your campaign was he in touch with russian officials during the you know he said i could only tell you what he now he was replaced long before the you know he was replaced long before the when all of this stuff started coming it came out during the but paul a good man also by the paul manfort was replaced long before the election took he was only there for a short period of president how much longer should we stay president five more is that on national i want to find a friendly are you a friendly watch how friendly he watch how friendly he go go he said he was gonna ask a very easy and not not a simple not a fair ok sit i understand the rest of your so the number i am the least person that ever seen in your entire number the least racist in we did very well relative to other people running as a republican he lied about he was gonna get up and ask a very simple so you welcome to the world of the but let me just tell you that i hate the i find it i hate even the question because people that know me and you heard the prime you heard ben netanyahu did you hear he known donald trump for a long time and then he forget so you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like go go thank lisa from the it just shows you about the but the way the press thank lisa desjardin from the pbs news on national security and can you give us more details on the executive order you plan for next even its broad will it be focused on specific a very fair and in on the daca program for what is your do you plan to continue that program or to end gonna show great daca is a very difficult subject for i will tell to one of the most difficult subjects i have because you have these incredible in many not in all and some of the having daca and gang members and drug but you have some incredible i would say they were brought here in such a way a very a very tough gonna deal with daca with i have to deal with a lot of forget and i have to convince them that what saying is is and i appreciate your understanding on but the daca situation is a very a very difficult thing for me because you i love these i love i have kids and and i find it very hard doing what the law says exactly to do and you the law is not talking about new talking the existing is very very as far as the new the new order is going to be very much tailored to the what i consider to be a very bad but we can tailor the order to that decision and get just about in some but tailoring it now to the we have some of the best lawyers in the country working on and the new executive is being tailored to the decision we got down from the president reopening of the white house visitors and she does a lot of great work for the country as well can you talk a little bit about first for melania trump does for the country and so opening white house visitors what does that mean what i call a nice that is very who are you gonna start all thank you very she was here last we had dinner with senator rubio and his wife who is by the and we had a really good discussion about cuba because we have very similar views on and cuba was very good to me in the florida as you know the cuban and i think that gonna be she just opened up the visitors in other touring of the white like others that working feel very strongly about very a very strong i think a great representative for this and a funny thing because she gets she gets so unfairly the things they known her for a long she was a very successful she was a very successful she did really she would go home at night and even want to go out with she was a very private she was always the highest quality that ever and the things they say known her for a long time the things they say are so and been apologized as you by various media because they said things that were just tell you i think going to be a fantastic first going to be a tremendous representative of women and of the and helping her and working her will be who is a fabulous person and a fabulous and not doing this for not doing this for doing this because they feel both of and melania goes back and forth and after barron finishes school because hard to take a child out of school with a few months left she and barron will be moving over to the white thank a very nice go this is going to be a bad but it have to be a bad because i enjoy watching you on go thank you so i need to find out from you said something as it relates to inner that was one of your platforms during your now fix the inner fixing the inner what will be that fix and your urban agenda as well as your hbcu executive order coming out this it was that was very professional and very very be announcing the order in a little while and rather let the order speak for but it could be something that i think that will be very good for everybody but talk to you about that after we do the as far as the inner as you i was very strong on the inner cities during the i think probably what got me a much higher percentage of the african american vote than a lot of people thought i was going to we you much higher than people thought i was going to and i was honored by including the hispanic which was also much and by the if i might including the which was much higher than people thought i was going to we are going to be working very hard on the inner having to do with having to do with going to try and fix as quickly as possible you it takes a long taken more a hundred years and more for some of these places to evolve and they many of very but going to be working very hard on health and very hard on and also going to be working in a stringent in a very good on you go to some of these inner city places and so sad when you look at the you have people and seen and sort of witnessed it in in two cases i have actually witnessed they lock themselves into petrified to even in the middle of the living in we let that going to be very a great question and and a a very difficult situation because been many been festering for many but we have places in this country that we have to we have to help african american people for the most are stuck hispanic american we have hispanic american people that are in the inner cities and their living in i you look at the numbers in there are two as you one chicago luxurious and all and another chicago worse than almost any of the places in the middle east that we and that you talk every night on the going to do a lot of work on the inner i have great people lined up to help with the inner when you say the inner are you going are you going to include the in your conversations with your your urban your inner city as well as am i going to include are you going to include the congressional black caucus and the congressional i i tell you do you want to set up the hispanic caucus do you want to set up the no no not are they friends of just a then set up the i know some of but sure watching right go set up a i would love to meet with the black i think the congressional black i think i actually thought i had a meeting with congressman cummings and he was all and then he i it might be bad for me i have that i was all set to have the you we called him and called and he was all i spoke to him on the very nice i hear he wanted that meeting with you as he wanted but we called and make a meeting with every day i walk and say i would like to meet with him because i do want to solve the but he probably was told by schumer or somebody like some other he was probably told he was probably told meet with bad and part of the problem in this one one two we this room handle go give me the better of your not about your personality or your talking about some of it by supporters in your what do you and some of it can i be honest with and this has to do with racism and horrible things that are put some of it written by our you do know do you understand you think anybody would do a thing like some of the signs see are not put up by the people that love or like donald put up by the other side and you think like playing it but you have some of those signs and some of that anger is caused by the other do signs and do drawings that are it be my it will be the people on the other side to anger people like go go the president what are you going to do about who is where is keeping up with politics is easy what are you going to do about what are you going to do about working on working on it very just so you we had a totally divided country for eight years and long before in all fairness to president long before president obama we have had a very divided i come along and divide this this country was seriously divided before i got going to work on it very one of the questions i was i thought it was a very good question was about the inner i part of but going to work on going to work on you going to stop going to try and stop the we have great law enforcement going to try and stop not going to try and going to stop but very important to me but this donald trump that divided a we went eight years with president obama and we went many years before president we lived in a divided and i am going to try i will do everything within my power to fix i want to thank everybody very a great honor to be with thank thank you very more from yahoo leaks are absolutely the news is wikileaks promoter donald trump now makes his enemy trump

clue about one of the biggest mysteries of the russiagate scandal the origin of the still uncorroborated claim that donald trump watched prostitutes urinate on his bed in a moscow hotel goldstone said in a new interview that it sense to the story might have its origins in an episode recounted in the book roulette by this reporter and david corn a party at a raunchy las vegas nightclub called the act in june goldstone and his the russian pop singer emin the son of a prominent russian businessman close to president were among those at the club on the evening of june in an interview on the yahoo news podcast skullduggery goldstone described the act as burlesque meets cirque de soleil with all sorts of weird and wonderful among those weird as first reported in were regular skits involving simulated colloquially called called for featured scantily clad dancers posing as college students simulating urinating on their the author of a new titled pop pageants said he could not remember whether the for act or any similar skit was performed the night he and agalarov were there with trump at the but he said both he and agalarov had in fact seen the urination act at a club to the act in london called the and possibly on another occasion at another box club in new act and the box were both owned by nightclub impresario simon hammerstein the was closed in late after a nevada judge found that its performances were and and violated state five months after the las vegas trump visited moscow for the finals of the miss universe which he owned at the it was from this trip that arose the uncorroborated report by a former british spy that while staying at the employed number of prostitutes to perform a show in front of the christopher hired by a political research firm retained by a law firm working for the clinton wrote a series of known as the that alleged that russian intelligence had on trump that included a tape of the the idea that trump might have been in the audience for the urination act in las vegas has been suggested as a possible inspiration for the event steele sources might have just heard about the las vegas or the one seen by agalarov and goldstone in the claims in dossier are and there has been no corroboration of the goldstone and agalarov accompanied trump for much for the time he was in goldstone thinks the second explanation that the stories got mixed up in the telling is the likely that makes more sense to me than alleged in the steele that it happened at the he said in his skullduggery goldstone gave a number of reasons for discounting he had personally booked room at the switching it just two days before his arrival from the intercontinental goldstone had stayed at the himself and friends with at the hotel and never heard anything at the time about trump cavorting with prostitutes who was with trump for much of his brief said the mogul had a tight schedule the entire time he was on his one night in trump returned to the after a party at and was up the next morning at for the taping of a music video in which he appeared with emin i do understand that it may not take an enormous amount of time for people to pee on each other in your goldstone a known if a you need somebody to come in and change the do where are those this something that emin would have been goldstone was peeing on each he i mean not usually in bedroom during the but i i know is the hate to say no and then have him hear this and say to somebody i have a phd in i mean i but the point i just believe i go back to human nature that somebody people sell comments are ultimately the fact that he and agalarov saw a urination performance similar to the one described in the steele dossier does not prove there is a but his comments add one more layer of

reliable as a forecast that says it will snow in only the exact date is in but it is not far it has been not far off many times this is all if somewhat discussed in the book of or in more palatable form in the left behind series of apocalyptic there are some minor theological quibbles about the exact sequence in which all this will play but the prevailing according to holds that rebuilding the temple that was destroyed by the romans in the year is a precondition for it to and because to christian stands in a special relationship to israel and therefore to god establishing an american embassy in jerusalem is an important first temple of solomon historical picture via getty more there are a few details to be worked of one is exactly where to locate the which must be on the site of the original temple of dating from around the century the predominant view is that this is exactly where the dome of the one of the holiest of muslim now the known as the temple is so sensitive that israel prohibits jews and other from praying just by setting foot there in the israeli politician ariel sharon touched off an escalating series of the second that went on for and although the old testament goes into detail about the specifications of the temple and its it gives the dimensions in the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle a somewhat ambiguous unit of measure for a project that must be built precisely to own and there are some jews who believe that the whole enterprise has to be put off until the arrival of the which would make moving the american embassy theologically there is a if still movement in israel that believes time to move ahead on the temple project and announcement was a shot in the arm to them words of prophecy are coming forth from the bible and becoming facts right before our said the rabbi yehuda a member of parliament from the ruling likud party who is active in the movement to restore the an organization called the temple institute is meticulously reconstructing ritual artifacts for use there and has a project underway to breed a perfect red calf to be killed and burned and its ashes mixed with pure spring water to perform a ritual purification that is a necessary precondition to occupying the and then here there is a polite divergence between the jewish third temple movement and its allies among evangelical to rebuilding the temple is a sacred commandment and an end in allowing the resumption of biblical forms of worship that have been on hold for nearly jews will resume animal sacrifice under the direction of the cohanim a priestly caste among to which i just so happen to cohanim are directly descended along the male line females need from the original high the brother of as i think of a training has

cohan spills the blood of a lamb slaughtered on the altar during the reenactment of the passover sacrifice ceremony in jerusalem in abir more but if evangelical christians are history will take a very different as bass the antichrist will arise to desecrate the rebuilt which will cause the jews to finally realize that jesus was the real triggering a mass there will be seven years of the ten plagues times the worst thing that the jews have ever gone i explained this to my he than the and i worse than bass and at the end of those seven there will be and in the middle of that jesus will return with

took a survey one time at my high school and there was different languages spoken at home out of so for every kids there was a new language spoken at we had puerto el was it a pretty integrated i any time you get you always get certain cliques that form around where people are going to feel more there was very sponsored days where you could get benefits and stuff for social we had the change for get everyone in a and you can get excused from all your classwork for the free cookies and and homosexuality and all these everyone is the everything is there was an agenda did you have mostly white friends or did you have friends of various say most of my friends were white but there were definitely a few asians and a few puerto ricans and there were some that i was friends either in new jersey or in have you ever had any experiences where you felt like it was harder for you to get a job or accepted to college because of preference given to immigrants or people of other if you are a high achiever still gonna generally get in where you want to get i experienced as much academic discrimination just because i have always been academically but if you a white person like in the gpa or statistically you will not get chosen over a minority with similar even if slightly my personal case might not be the best example just because i have always been pretty academically your average white all going to feel that a heck of a i am kind of not white privileged but i am quite blessed in a lot of he comes back to you know there was one job i it was like a cashier and a cart guy at a grocery it was when i was in high school and so just minimum wage the blacks at my work utterly got to slack off all day and it you know what i every single white person there would look at each other like or even the asian people or the hispanics all look at each other and be and then get bitched out over just slacking the tiniest just you cleaning your and then like one of the black guys will do something totally totally out of that no one else would get away with just just how did you get involved in the white nationalist i was a social justice i was never quite and i just realized that it is intrinsically whenever you get into any sort of kind of one of my first red a reference drawn from the movie the matrix is a metaphor for awakening from a state of give ya an a few hundred black people killed by cops every have you ever looked up interracial if you look at the proportions of massively lopsided against white the recently released report on hate crime statistics for found that percent of hate crime victims were targeted because of bias against black or compared to percent of victims who were targeted because of bring this up a liberal and still got white she got and burned to death you she still had the white and just so this really about this is just then i looked into that more about five years i came across i was never a part of the i was never a i think liberty is kind of so i just came to stormfront and i ok my school did teach me you know ever since i was a they do have an historical they leave out a lot of my mind was blown just by the hypocrisy i had how old were you at this about i was always very political and a very big history buff from a young how did you get involved with the traditionalist worker recently i was kind of introduced to the concept of activism and i really aware too much that rallies were a thing so a bunch of white nationalists that go out in public and speak and do all this cool stuff and cool hell so i went to auburn when richard spencer spoke i went to i went to the first charlottesville and then i went to the second one as jimmy jimmy mayberry in in october caitlin more for who describes his indiana upbringing as the ideals espoused by the white nationalism movement echoed the same be proud of my that been raised it until earlier this year that mayberry began to channel those values into by getting involved with his local branch of the traditionalist worker party how did you get involved in this really what it was for me i kind of let my life slip into just going off base urges and everything like a lot of people in the movement came from past lives where like drug just people who never did anything with and then we realized messed up our coming the traditionalist worker the league of the any of the other the nationalist front or managed to get our lives on i feel like i actually have something in my life i can say proud how did you get connected with the traditionalist worker internet i reached out to a couple of other people in the party and then one day i asked about looking into over in my back in i seen a video of founder heimbach debating with two leftists at inauguration day and i was know anything about this but i know i gotta find out more of i know if even gonna join or not but these people seem what do you do for i work eight hours a day at a always been working factory jobs and everything like because i started working in factories as soon as i graduated high one of the reasons i was able to learn up so much on the i had actually lost my job back in january and i was out of a job from january into up where you get hired on at the factories and they either get the people they need and need anybody or you just get called so i was lucky that when july came around they put me through because they needed the always been working class at the same time it was gotta have a otherwise i do anything to help the help so now you feel a sense of nobody wants to just set at home and do not a fun you just waste if not working to what are you really what is your role in the i help coordinate things in my down in southern still growing our numbers there as well i more or less whatever role i need to fill at the how much of your time is spent on twp either away on party business every weekend or every other weekend it and i have no problem with it do you agree with the idea by gunther that a white person has less chance to be hired or accepted to college if competing against a nonwhite person with the same or lesser oh i i go to so there were a couple times where i know that if i apply for a job and if i get a black dude and a mexican applying with gonna be got a diversity quota and your credentials standing out have you had that happen to but i i work factory jobs so they go by if you can do the what does your family think about your involvement in this my family actually raised me to be proud of my to be proud of who i am so these ideals new to but even my mother tells me every love and support my only but i agree with everything i want them to be involved in if anything i do comes back to yes going to feel awful but at the same time i stand by my my family still loves and supports an old irish style you mess with one you mess with all of john john may in october caitlin more though lived in east tennessee for the past john white nationalist views are rooted in negative experiences he says he had growing up in demographically diverse covered in including a celtic knot on his neck and a small swastika on his may is upset about what he believes is unfair media coverage of events like the deadly clashes between members of the and counterprotesters in charlottesville this and the september shooting by a sudanese immigrant that killed one and injured several others at a church in may spoke to yahoo news at a white lives matter rally in earlier this where he said he hoped to draw more attention to the antioch shooting as well as the recent influx of immigrants to middle tennessee in he was accompanied by another rallygoer he met in person for the first time in before the two had only met each other do you mostly meet other people within this movement a lot of our networking is done but met a lot of people through real the internet is pretty much the best route these days to find how long have you been involved in the white nationalist been involved in identity politics for about i started out as a i was an anarchist and went into politics and socialism and stuff and growing up in that the thing it devolved into identity you just be a leftist and be for your people at the same leftist politics are literally just multiculturalism and they think fighting the system but really just playing into the system how did you make the i just read a lot like i just being a white man growing up in an area where you were pretty much attacked for being have to come to the understanding that you have to stick with your own to a certain everybody blacks do latinos do american indians do and celebrated and that should be blacks and latinos and everybody should be doing stuff for their not disagreeing with that at just white people should be allowed that same anybody like blacks and latinos and they can do that and not be labeled but any time a white man stands up for his own people they automatically label him a nazi or racist or what is the goal of your involvement in identity what would you like to see i would like to see the creation of an although in reality that is kind of in my lifetime it probably my family has been here since my family is native to and we just want white people to be able to stand up for white people and not be labeled haters or we want a fair shake as everybody else gets a fair is your family still in in tennessee i have family that still lives in but my immediate family is in lost a lot of family members over my my cousins adopted guatemalan and i loved them as they were my i never had any issues with but so much people get so anybody identitarian automatically gets labeled a racist or a nazi so then my cousins got in their head he hates my and hate your kids at lost a lot of family members over my your social network or internet forum of it was facebook and then kicked off of for being we even have paypals blocking us out of simply because of our kicked us off of all forms of just wanting to preserve what america was and should always and a place for i care if blacks live in america or latinos live in i want mexicans necessarily moving into tennessee because not native to this area at if they want to stay in the i have a problem with they are just taking us and putting us into this narrative onto what we believe and the narrative is really not the predominant ideas that identitarians hold on you hating other i hate a you don white nationalist don black at his home in west palm on july ryan more as a former ku klux klan grand wizard and the founder of the first major online forum for white don black represents the older generation of a movement that has become increasingly young and over the past five controversial views have gotten him into legal created professional and alienated members of his family most notably his who renounced white nationalism in every time considered giving it all black finds himself coming back to the conclusion that the right thing to black offers unique insight on how the movement has and changed since he first got involved in the and where he sees it going you grew up in i was born in north near in after going to the university of i moved to and i moved in west palm beach where he currently back in late what were your interactions with nonwhite people growing in the town i grew up there much racial there was in i remember my daddy telling me we go to the state fair this year the negroes were causing trouble down my high school initially was all all the schools i went up until maybe junior was completely then alabama george wallace introduced freedom of so blacks that wanted to come to our high school could do so and the ones that wanted to stay in the high school could do so i never really saw integration of high the blacks that came to our high school were the ones that wanted to go to the white school and they cause we have trouble until the which happened when i was a senior in high the summer of before his senior black was working on the gubernatorial campaign of segregationist and white supremacist stoner when he was shot in the chest by a fellow stoner campaign jerry the brother of james earl who assassinated martin luther king was ultimately acquitted of shooting the teenaged who caught trying to steal membership records of national states rights i nearly my birthday was three days into the hospital and my birthday present was getting taken off the critical i want to get into a big conflagration at my newly integrated high so i went to to madison and that was it was all white at the not of but it was before you left your old high when it was partially did you have classes with any of the black we had black but they were all nicely behaved because they were the type that wanted a better education by going to the white that was my high school of the university of alabama had a contingent of blacks who were very always tried to cause trouble with just stuff like slamming the door in my stuff like they never actually challenged me to a fight or i had experiences with diversity in ensuing but interest in white was purely i started out as an anticommunist and was concerned about what i was seeing even though i experience a lot of it in my little town everybody pretty much got i think we had maybe or percent black you they as my mother would call them and as all southern mothers would call old negro that lived down the that you felt sorry they worked hard and they have much and they cause any that was the southern was that your pretty as far as where i the neighborhoods were when i was a little kid i could bicycle around town without having to could walk to there was never much we literally were those people that have to lock their doors when they left so your experiences with the black people in your neighborhood were never negative you were just troubled by what you saw on the news happening other stuff like of not being able to go to the state fair in stuff like how old were you when you go to the state or and after there was a lot of trouble in i would later live in but we go down there except for that annual state which i really appreciated when i was a spring of when black was years saw the launch of the birmingham during which civil rights activists faced fire hoses and police attack dogs in response to peaceful protests against the segregation laws with lunch counter and the imperial wizard of the national knights of the ku klux don in wearing a suit and with klan members in the bettmann archive via getty more how did you first get your start in the white nationalist many years before the of back in the in when i was years you actually had to find a mailing address and you the and a couple of weeks later send you back a packet of who did you write there was the national youth that was actually the but drew who those of us my age would he was a he wrote a series of articles about this sinister movement which was thriving in the and they had influence in congress and white supremacist and holocaust willis carto was the head of that piqued my example of reporting is here i wrote the national youth alliance political organization also founded by i found their they were in in dupont later visit i wrote to pretty i wrote to the national socialist white party known as the american nazi in i wrote to all kinds of what about these groups sparked your were your parents proponents of these sorts of political not my parents were southern conservative and i had by i knew about groups like liberty lobby and the john birch society and the george wallace for president campaign in i participated in that kind of handing out bumper stickers in my stuff like but i completely convinced until i started writing to some of these i got the full i grew of in alabama and i thought the civil rights or civil rights movement was tearing down the country and my so that motivated me to look by the time i was i was looking and so i was interested in these other groups and what they had to william pierce physicist turned prominent white supremacist activist and impressed me for the previous few i had wanted to be a nuclear physicist and pierce of course had been one of some he probably influenced me more than continued to pursue this path as he went to attempting to start a white student union at the university of but failing to get a faculty adviser to sponsor his controversial activities earned him coverage in the campus he impeded his progress in the i was in the basic rotc and when i started making the campus on the front of the campus rotc wanted to kick me even though they thought i was a good the professor of military science would even say that later i was a poster boy for but unfortunately i had all of these later on i did enlist in the army when did you get involved in the ku klux in i joined david of the ku been reading about but i already knew him for actually a new york times article about a rally that he held outside of baton rouge i think they said which was huge by our to actually get that many people to an indoor so that piqued my accomplishing the times

had heard but i considered joining because they just seem to have the intellectual i consider joining the klan until i heard about what was it about david duke that appealed to i knew i knew that he understood and the fact that he was getting so many people at his rallies was so the reason i went down and joined up with a couple of other three other friends from one of whom would become my wife and then current was previously married to what did your parents think about you joining the they they had met david and they hostile but they thought it was a really bad idea for me to be getting all this they thought it was they were never completely happy about my father was a little more they came over to our or my intellectually after a but they thought that it particularly my mother thought that it was dangerous in various so she was never happy about what about your i have a big years older than not exactly on our side but a trump the next black gained prominence as a leader of the

frozen they had locked i get it get the domain back kind of back to where we but not actually nowhere near back to where we were right after we had a big spike our traffic doubled after stormfront really popularized the term what does white nationalism mean to it means white racial as opposed to civil nationalism such as what is promoted by donald trump and other they disavow any kind of racial aspects to but nationalism has traditionally been a racial nationalism is not about it has racial underpinnings and we understand that and we think we have the right to maintain at least some portion of this as a white nation with a government that reflects the values of our of other races feel they have that and they come under all of the criticism that we very happy that after we used that term for so many whereas the mainstream media would always call us now suddenly is almost as popular as i guess we can thank hillary clinton for back during the for whatever at least made a step white nationalism is much more descriptive than white most people i know consider themselves and what do you think about the term do you think it applies to a term popularized by richard whom i also he invent but he popularized never used that although accept take it was considered a little too a couple years they had gay richard spencer had this guy donovan openly brags about which is just a little too inclusive for most of our kind of what we associated it it was not as hardcore but now that become take but we use it very it does take the edge off the racial whether or just the term has become a term of derision you even use the term without offending so i does have an advantage but kind of what do you think of the new generation of white and the state of the movement in general right i think definitely making and the whatever it is part of does this stand out as a significant moment for white i think there are more people now involved than ever i know about the back when i was just getting there were some fairly big meetings back then with other like the national states rights party and the all of that went into rapid decline and by i thought really hit the i think it could get

polarized country than we do i we have antifa militant smashing things and beating up trump and trump supporters stockpiling so not sure going to does that concern i want to be in the middle of for and i want our family to be in the middle of what would be the ideal outcome of all i think separation will solve the i know exactly how going to turn but as i said i think we have the right to have at least some part of the country that represents our our a government representing our i think that will happen for lack of a better i think our people are voting with their they are moving to other

vocabulary to describe a strategy that more closely resembled the approach of the previous decade than the agenda obama had laid out at fort ben the deputy national security adviser and close adviser to described a hybrid strategy comprising many which together do not add up to a traditional have a variety of different tools that we use that range from a drone strike to an airstrike to a training exercise to law enforcement cooperation to try to deal with that terrorist rhodes said in an likening the strategy to the initiative to combat colombian drug cartels and leftist rhodes said that the has assumed counterterrorism posture that resembles less a war than a mix of counterterrorism efforts and military support to countries that are dealing with fractured states and civil but the reality is that a president whose ambition had been to wind down and ultimately end the wars of has found it hard to resist the inexorable momentum toward more military obama has been accused in the past of failing to follow up his lofty rhetoric with resolute of attempting to bend the arc of history with mere eloquence the truth is more circumstances have making some promises harder to in some areas progress has been but it is often slow and we are not reverting back to a occupying countries with large standing armies and twisting our foreign policy to fit that in the twilight of his reasonable

follows is an assessment of accomplishments and where fallen measured by the yardstick of his own even before he became obama had identified drones as his during the he and john soon to be his

thwarting while shrinking footprint in the likening terrorism to a brennan said need to target the metastasizing disease without destroying the surrounding the weapon of armed pilotless or but very first experience with a drone strike rattled four days into his the cia was targeting and taliban commanders in south waziristan along the but the strike went badly killing an innocent tribal elder and several members of his it was the start of a pattern that has run through his entire obama was able to make an ironclad case for the utility of from both a moral and tactical as commander in chief he could not stand by idly when the intelligence indicated terrorists were plotting to kill the precision of he was would minimize civilian casualties compared to conventional airstrikes or ground without risking american and yet deadly mistakes innocents were and obama always seemed to have a nagging feeling that he fully control this controversial program that was so closely identified with him the deadly efficiency of the program made it hard to during the first couple of years of the the obama white house sometimes seemed almost giddy about the rahm the first chief of was the biggest regularly calling director leon panetta to congratulate him for major he even urged the agency to tout its successes in the media by leaking colorful details of the covert hits to friendly but one of

was put through a according to a knowledgeable using a military term for a rigorous performance other factors heightened concerns over the targeted killing the pakistani a critical ally in the war against was threatening to withdraw cooperation because the strikes were so unpopular the american ambassador in backed by secretary of state hillary called for scaling back the program and requested more input in authorizing the in the white house began developing standards for drone strikes outside conventional obama wanted to institutionalize rules for using these deadly both for his administration and for future the new standards could also serve as a blueprint for international norms for drone warfare as the technology became available to other the informally called the and run by resulted in a presidential planning which obama announced at the fort mcnair it was an effort to make sure had a rigorous process for figuring out who was worth taking a shot said a one senior obama the a classified limits drone strikes to human targets who cannot be captured and who pose a imminent to under the policy such drone strikes can only be authorized when there is that no civilians will be imminence standard has been criticized by human rights lawyers because of the elastic definition of obama officials have argued that that it would be too late to take action once terrorists were executing an obama also proposed in the ppg new mechanisms for increasing oversight of drone operations outside of war he pledged to work with congress to develop a special court that would evaluate although he warned that bringing the judiciary into the process might pose constitutional he also raised the possibility of establishing an oversight within the executive branch to oversee drone one key reform he did not announce at the national defense university but rather set in motion was shifting drone operations away from the cia to the which is subject to more accountability and three years how well has obama lived up to these a mixed although some progress has clearly been since the number of drone strikes outside of conventional war zones has fallen at the peak in there were more than fired in according to the new america in there were in there were and so far this year there have only been less but still decreases have also occurred in yemen and in this is partly due to changing in after a decade of pounding and the there are very few targets left to are either have left the or are so burrowed in they be said one former intelligence official with deep knowledge of the drone but just on the leader of the afghan mullah akhtar mohammad was targeted by a drone strike along the according to the afghan killed along with an what impact the more rigorous standards imposed on the drone program by the ppg have had on the pace and efficacy of targeted killings is less for one thing those standards do not apply in pakistan at this pledge to consider a secret court or an independent board to oversee the drone program has gone both of those according to a senior administration have been moving the program from the cia to the defense department has proven to be slow and the resisted giving up a program that was a boon to its but a bigger obstacle was the intense turf war waged out of public view between the congressional oversight committees for intelligence and intel committees fought viciously to keep the said one top administration real questions emerged about whether the pentagon had the technical to take over exclusive control over the drone in a defense department drone strike in southern yemen accidentally killed a number of civilians attending a wedding provoking a debate within the government about the wisdom of turning the program over to the the cia seized on the accident to argue for keeping a major role in choosing there is some evidence that the military has assumed command of the program in at least one theater of the defense department has been willing to publicly take credit for drone strikes in when both the cia and yemen were operating parallel programs the military could not reveal its because on those occasions when it did not take the keeping silent would have implicitly exposed the a senior administration official predicted to yahoo news in a recent interview that by the time obama leaves the program will have fully shifted over to the with the exception of operations in because the pakistani government will only allow the to operate there which only the cia can the with its unique will continue to gather and analyze the intelligence needed to target the military will track the bad guys and then pull the administration officials cite the drone killing of junaid a top isis propagandist and computer as a model for the kind of structure that could be used going barack obama shed no tears over that the world was different enough in may that obama could plausibly promise that he would try and ultimately the legislation that set the stage for the invasion of afghanistan and the global war against he could tell americans with some work at both ends of pennsylvania can continue to fight terrorism without keeping america on a perpetual wartime his administration later called for repealing the october authorization for use of military force that gave george bush the green light to invade iraq a step loaded with significance for who built his campaign on a vow to disentangle a weary america from the middle top obama aides and their allies in congress now acknowledge that the job of rewriting the legislation that underpins the war on terrorism will almost certainly fall to the next do think any future president is going to need to figure this rhodes told yahoo obama has now spent more time at war than any other his unwillingness to use force is frequently exaggerated both by aides eager to portray him as the solution to problems and by critics eager to cast him as a weak defender of national in he promised to kill bin laden if he got the chance even if the terrorist mastermind were on sovereign pakistani in may he kept that in his nobel peace prize acceptance obama talked of constraining war but bluntly like any head of state reserve the right to act unilaterally if necessary to defend my he became the first american president known to have targeted an individual american for his decision not to strike syria in has drawn sharp but many of his fiercest critics the also opposed using force at the he hurled forces into combat in libya without congressional authorization without a plan for filling the vacuum left by moammar and in his campaign to sell his nuclear agreement with obama freely boasted of ordering the use of deadly force in at least seven countries deploying ordering drone acting with or without congressional with allies or and sometimes in ways that test the bounds of international but the speech came at a time when the president hoped to escape being pulled into civil war two months before the islamic state terrorist army launched its campaign to seize vast swathes of iraqi he was speaking nearly one year before officials warned that terrorist groups inside syria were plotting attacks on the fundamentally altering view of that conflict as the islamic state is also essentially rewrote the at the time of the national defense university white house aides thought they saw a window for curtailing executive authority under the in this would take a more assertive role in defining the proper means and the ends before young americans charge into team also contended that the designed to target was increasingly out of date an argument they still could foresee a scenario in several years where the organization that launched the attacks and which we created an aumf really exist fully out of rhodes are you still using an authority crafted for an organization based in afghanistan in to fight an organization based in somalia and mali and yemen in to us at a certain becomes rhodes in february obama sent congress a new explicitly authorizing his undeclared but escalating military campaign against isis to the and pressed congress to start the work of and the but the new measure has perhaps for while the administration could still send congress proposed changes to the the white house insists a new aimed at has to be in place before it can risk losing the authority it claims to have under the older do believe that we still need to have the authority to degrade and ultimately destroy where continue to apply pressure to affiliates around the white house press secretary josh earnest said in but really conceive of rolling back unless we have a whatever it looks on the a former career national security official who used to advise obama told yahoo news on condition of for this president or a successor will have to embrace a new legal think it will become increasingly unsustainable to be relying on an authority crafted for a place and an organization that really exist he either the united states seems set to remain on the wartime that obama declared he wanted to when obama ordered the closure of the guantanamo detention center on his third day in there were detainees at the down from a total of about when george bush opened the prison after by early the start of his second that number had dropped by only about a to as of this it was down to and today there are detainees remaining at the that number will decrease even more over the next few but when obama leaves office on as it is will almost certainly still be open for leaving one of the signature campaign promises there is plenty of blame to go around for early in first efforts to shutter guantanamo were overwhelmed by the politics of in may democratic house appropriations committee chairman dave obey stripped million that obama had requested to close the prison from an emergency funding i mind defending a concrete not much interested in wasting my energy defending a theoretical program obey said at the when they have a welcome to come back and talk to us about republican hardliners not a few democrats going seized on the issue to try to make obama look weak on national the obama administration provided all the ammo republicans needed with its clumsy and plan to transfer a handful of forlorn chinese uighur prisoners to a northern virginia touching off a nimby in my rebellion in the obama team members seriously underestimated how difficult a task they had assigned to was kind of this naiveté that if the president said going to close and we have a plan to close that ultimately that would recalled former cia director matthew the justice department official tasked with determining which prisoners could be transferred from gitmo and which were too dangerous to release or send to learned this at his first white house meeting on the when he remarked in a situation room meeting that this would be an arduous a senior white house official impatiently so just do one and then multiply by panetta also lays some of the blame directly at the feet for not personally engaging congress on the gitmo important to remember that early in his obama had to hoard his political capital for dealing with the economic crisis while moving ahead with health care according to obama was unwilling to do the often work of engaging congress to bring it he is offended when the political process keep up with what trying to panetta observed in a recent adding that he often urged obama to invite key members of congress to the white house for briefings or but the president resisted the end you have to be able to engage in that process to be able to build their support for the things trying to do in protecting the toward the end of first the congress had passed legislation barring the use of congressionally appropriated funds to transfer detainees to the that meant the detainees that the obama administration had determined could not be prosecuted for legal reasons and were too dangerous to transfer to other countries or release were stuck at and so was he seemed to have given he even have a single official at the white house or any of the relevant agencies assigned to lead the flagging in the spring of around the time of fort mcnair the majority of more than went on a hunger and as many as had to be gitmo seemed to tug once again at he reinvigorated the effort to get it appointing special representatives at both the state and defense departments and personally dug into the bureaucracy to prod the and the administration accelerated the pace of transfers in a meaningful including the use of periodic review boards which allowed the prisoners being held indefinitely to challenge their this february the administration announced a new plan to close the the problem it depends on the congress lifting its ban on transfers to the something few expect will administration officials talk about a should their public plan some have hinted at the possibility of obama taking executive action to overcome the congressional ban on transfers to the while administration allies have argued that choosing where to house detainees captured in a war setting is a military decision within the constitutional powers of the commander in many in congress would view such a move as a naked power it would likely invite comparisons to the controversial legal opinions developed during the bush administration to justify the use of torture and illegal arguments for disregarding the gitmo restrictions is the same argument the bush administration used to avoid the torture that congress cannot restrict the decisions as commander in says jack a harvard law professor and the justice department official who withdrew the bush opinions on torture and there are creative solutions to solving the gitmo including one being circulated by ken a senior fellow at the liberal center for american who is close to the obama under the the administration would continue moving out those who could be designate a handful of detainees who have violated the laws of other nations for prosecutions and accelerate the periodic review board that would still leave about detainees in the including members of and the but gude has a plan for he argues that they are no different from the and taliban foot soldiers whom the military imprisoned on its base in once we relinquished bagram to the we turned over those detainees to the sovereign afghan there is no substantive difference between the bagram prisoners and those being held at gude so we should turn over those being held at gitmo to the gude says this would leave only the handful of detainees who are awaiting prosecution in the military justice effectively turning guantanamo into a trial venue rather than a prison but even gude sees the scenario as a long perhaps the best bet for seeing the camp shuttered is the election of hillary clinton as as secretary of clinton pushed repeatedly for aggressive action to close the military as she was leaving she even sent a sharply worded memo the white house chiding advisers for failing to do for his donald trump has said he would keep guantanamo open and it up with some bad and he also says he would get cuba to pay for nearly nine our war in

successor an undeclared but and escalating war against the islamic with some americans in way in iraq and about special operators in the slaughterhouse that is it will be up to the next to fulfill promise to and someone will inherit a whole new war in as well as the catastrophic syrian civil policy toward syria and iraq and isis has changed along with his evolving sense of threats to he initially resisted getting involved started to recalibrate in early when senior intelligence officials warned that extremists were taking advantage of the chaos to plot attacks on the united states and its sent a first contingent of ground troops to iraq in june unleashed airstrikes on isis in iraq in august and expanded them to syria in the following through it he has been dogged by criticisms that he was caught by the rise of the terrorist struck me that i did not see anything that indicated that there was concern about isis who served obama as defense secretary until february told yahoo least from my it sounds like that somehow the ball was obama aides dispute that they ever lost track of the threat posed by which grew out of in formally renamed itself the islamic state in iraq and syria in april and proclaimed its caliphate in june did not believe that there was an intelligence failure as it relates to the fact that in iraq was moving over the border to syria and they were morphing into something quite rhodes told yahoo on the other he did not and really i think anybody the extent to which the iraqi security forces would collapse in the face of there was no warning of some of sharpest critics have directly tied the deadly chaos that fed the rise of isis to the decision to withdraw all forces from iraq in late obama cannot avoid his share of responsibility for the rise of the islamic state of iraq and republican senators john mccain and lindsey graham wrote in obama launched his war against isis one month before mccain and as of april this the total cost of military operations was about with a daily bill of according to the defense department as of april the united states and its coalition partners had conducted a total strikes in iraq and in the united states accounted for of those in iraq and in there have been three combat casualties the white house insists that american forces have a combat mission and has ruled out offensive ground combat a description that chief obama spokesman josh earnest once described as asked recently at what point in time american special operators sent to syria late last year would meet the earnest suggested that they never would because their numbers are far short of the tens of thousands who invaded iraq in march the war on isis has largely proceeded on three retaking territory the group captured in iraq and preventing terrorist attacks either inspired or directed by the islamic state against the united states and allies and taking aim at the adherents and allies in other like as for the part of and top

against the united homeland security lisa told yahoo news in a recent asked how he would define victory against rhodes told yahoo would define it as isil no longer being able to control territory from which it can project terrorist attacks against the united our allies and victory be every isil sympathizer and member off the face of the rhodes the night of the with the rubble of the world trade center and a shattered side of the pentagon still george bush declared a against two weeks he promised that cause is just and our ultimate victory is rhetoric is mostly remembered now for decisive statements like he came to regret some of them like saying he wanted osama bin laden or declaring victory in iraq in front of a giant or using the religiously loaded word to describe the global conflict against but arguably more important was a moment when his trademark certainty asked in an august interview with today show whether the united states could ever win the global war on terrorism that he had declared after the bush i think you can win he think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the republicans democrats and within a day bush was back to promising he the only presidential candidate that year to take heat for adding a shade of gray to a typically national democratic nominee future obama secretary of john kerry told the new york times two months later that have to get back to the place we where terrorists are not the focus of our but a nuisance citing his experience as a former kerry told the know never going to end never going to end illegal but going to reduce organized to a level where it on the it threatening lives every and something that you continue to but not threatening the fabric of your democrats republicans and soon kerry was sounding more like ten years after bush and obama had one of his own brushes with politically risky at a press conference with obama laid out his vision for how to defeat the islamic we are joined by the international we can continue to shrink sphere of its its its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem he republicans accused him of sending a mixed message can the united states set a goal to and isis but be content with making it manageable when it comes to can americans do actually think americans rhodes but easier politically sometimes to use more maximalist rhetoric because more satisfying to people that going to wipe them off the face of the eradicate them for all he was so ambitious that it was almost like just knocking over the taliban that led the types of policies that we would have not engaged be it the war in iraq or the opening of gitmo or the employment of enhanced interrogation rhodes was almost a logical end of the type of rhetoric that was being in that if you are using a certain type of maximalist rhetoric with the you in some ways are raising the bar on yourself to do more republican like ted have criticized the refusal to describe enemy as radical islamic terrorism charging that he is out of cruz has also demanded that obama take action for victory over and that isis to be utterly destroyed obama aides express frustration at the notion that the united states can wipe out every last isis they are also mindful that boast can come back to haunt the way confident reelection campaign message that is on the did after extremists assaulted facilities in benghazi in september killing four with reelection safely in the the white house now is echoing the more nuanced language that once got bush in trouble on the today and kerry in his interview with the think ever going to eliminate the use of rhodes will be people who murder other people who are innocent for political purposes for the rest of human to the extent that there can be an end to what bush dubbed global war on rhodes it will require things in hands and also some well outside of control and it may take has to number a sufficient defensive and deterrent effect so that it is understood that if you as a terrorist organization at war with the united states that likely to be he but the second thing that must happen is for middle eastern governments to find ways to address and so that anger does not turn into a war against the rhodes pointed to northern ireland and said led the irish republican army to abandon

robust email file that we could continue to build to raise money for the party and engage with after campaign tried to build and run an email fundraising its spam levels were so high that it had to hand the job off to the the rnc has also overseen digital advertising efforts out of san where the trump digital brad lives and the rnc paid for new office space for the and the director of gary and head of email parks moved out to texas to oversee the operation a few days after cruz and ohio john kasich dropped out of the race in early the rnc and operation worked with cambridge who arrived in san antonio in to help build a sql query database that collected the data being gathered by the digital advertising and email as well as to custom models of the electorate built by parscale named this project the trump campaign also relied for their effort on the analytical models of each battleground built on top of the voter models were used for digital persuasion though not for mail or parscale told yahoo this was while the rnc had spent years trying to identify as many generic republican voters across the country as trump was attracting a different kind of sporadic or unreliable voters disillusioned with politics in general and with both political that was the kind of voter that cambridge had focused on identifying in the electorate and was the focus of the voter universe models it the data analytics along with the data from gave the trump campaign a more sophisticated sense of which voters it should be trump on his own was not able to do much to make use of this he invested very little in hiring staff to build out a ground the did have a more robust ground organizing effort than it did in four years it had put staff in a dozen battleground by the end of the there were rnc paid field staff working to organize and almost another organizers in training under the republican leadership trump did transfer million to the rnc through their joint fundraising which helped to pay for field that was almost million less than the million romney transferred to the rnc in trump supporters in times square cheer news that he had won north seth more and so when parscale and others on the campaign bragged to a bloomberg journalist that they had created a voter database of trump supporters that the rnc did not have access the rnc top command pushed to that they could build this whole thing without i conceptualize how that would be walsh also know that they have been running as a campaign from such a rapid i know when they done parscale called it a that he or the trump campaign have something separated from in a way that is somehow going to hurt rnc has been a great they are the reason we are where we parscale said in an election day phone walsh spoke highly of but did not mince words about his given the fact that never worked on a political campaign of any would go on the record effusively praising brad and saying that he has been great to work i would also go on record saying brad had never worked in politics before and he would even admit that he knew almost nothing about politics before walsh were a lot of times when brad would i but a really smart what i love about to be totally is that brad admits what he by all it was walsh and parscale that did a lot to mend relations between the trump campaign and the rnc over the when the relationship between the two entities was walsh believed trump would use the data built up build a brand for trump going to whether it be trump or whatever trump decides he wants to sell to that the rnc wants out of those people is to keep learning about them and engaging with so that in four years we know what to tell our nominee to talk to them she want them to buy anything from us right we need them to do anything with us other than to open an email every once in a we want we need to convert them in any real way we want them to keep all of of is now but the gop was no match for and now he owns not only the but

are plenty of clients of his that the public will find he made money off helping big corporations game the said northam spokesman david gillespie began his political career as a congressional aide and quickly rose through the ranks of republican operatives during the presidential and then formed a powerful lobbying company with democrat jack president george bush with ed gillespie on the south lawn

in plant science and he returned to the farm to manage the melon crops just as his father did until he had saved enough to start his own that was years it was the american dream his parents had always wanted for him a dream now imperiled by the to del the tragedy strikes his father had always taught him that farming was more than just planting it was about treating the land with love and respect caring for the crops almost as an extension of in his father the land would respond in and for it del farm had been thriving until the water began to run walking through his empty del bosque often

poured into ochs studied both he had the arguments he had the counterarguments when he did he was really amazing to watch in the classroom that stands out in my kavanaugh seems to have taken that work

moral framework we deceive ourselves if we think we have what we expect of public that they know what their moral framework and how this interacts with our civil gaunt reflective men and women will make discerning but all framed by those different moral and religious the no religious test clause of the constitution affirms that no one needs to accept a particular religion in order to hold

peel back the layers of but a slow week in so give it a just pretend that bill say he is the leading authority on economic assume he walk down the street to buy a smoothie without creating jobs by even if all that were economic policy something for which you name a like ebola or asian not making this up there is actually a czar for kind of a central plank of the the reason we elect more or maybe clinton plans to turn over foreign policy to president obama while at and then she can just spend her days as president hunting down all the republicans and reporters done her like that guy in something troubling here on the feminism love clinton or disdain you have to acknowledge that she spent the last years since she first ran for senate in new york doggedly building her own political separate from her no one serious about politics now describes her as unqualified for the readying to run a campaign aimed squarely at on the theory that donald trump reminds most female voters of the high school gym teacher who creeped them with is a slogan meant to underscore which is so difficult to understand why clinton would toss aside that image as an independent and powerful intellect in her own all for the votes of a few white men in one thing for obama to deputize bill clinton as his economic salesman and let him go out there and steal the as he did at the but the unfortunate truth is that different for a and different for a if hillary wants to keep inspiring the little girls of this she probably go around saying turn over the big stuff to her the problem of ideological clinton has spent the past year trying to ride out the populist tsunami in her own in part by distancing herself from more discredited so is she now saying that all of that was just a and her convictions around the economy are actually indistinguishable from and if she owe it to primary voters to make that clear from the but leave all that because the larger problem with statement is that it exposes really missing from her campaign the vulnerability left even against a candidate as flawed as when bill clinton first ran for president in on a platform forged by the upstart democratic leadership he took some stands that were toxic in some quarters of his party for welfare for free for smaller he did in because he wanted to define himself as a different kind of but also because he intended to

unearned at the same from describes these policies as pillars of a larger which is that work in america rewarded in the new economy as it was in the had clinton latched on to this or some other bolder she could have seized the bernie sanders would have attacked her for endangering entitlements or whatever but at least have spent these many months arguing about her audacity and not she and probably not just because she thinks in more technocratic terms than her husband she also because she think win the the most salient difference between her and bill seems to be that he believes he can persuade you that right about something complex and and she a decade of governing in arkansas taught bill that he was a better explainer than his and he could usually experience has taught her that critics will distort whatever she and safer to avoid giving them he always said campaigns were about she thinks campaigns are about eschewing the kind of big ideas that can be used to destroy thus does she

brutal gang their journeys to the through mexico often involve exploitation or abuse at the hands of the uacs might qualify for asylum in the but their status is complicated by the fact that they crossed the border federal statutes and court rulings have established legal guidelines for how to treat this population of young people entered the country illegally but express fears of returning a

to the trump approach to in president trump and attorney general jeff sessions have singled out minors from central america as threats who take advantage of in immigration laws to infiltrate the and

the source point to a specific policy change with regard to how ice handles such a february memo issued by security secretary john kelly eliminated prior list of enforcement priorities established by jeh encouraging ice agents to focus enforcement resources on certain categories of undocumented including convicted violent criminals and recent border by eliminating these kelly implemented a new era of indiscriminate immigration pursuing anyone and everyone who is in the country regardless of think kelly and trump were just in such a hurry to arrest everyone that they maybe think of the implications on these said the dhs a class action lawsuit filed last week by the national immigrant justice center accuses ice of automatically transferring from orr to ice custody without considering potential alternatives to the suit argues that by failing to consider the least restrictive option available in the best interest of the ice was violating a amendment to the tvpra that extended such

minors in orr custody been reunified with a sponsor has decreased significantly across almost every state since october one possible explanation is that family who may be undocumented are reluctant to come to the attention of dhs by volunteering as the biggest effects on the reunification process stem from a series of policy and procedural changes implemented at orr under the banner of what director scott lloyd dubbed the new community safety according to an august memo to the white house domestic policy the initiative was created in response to and congressional concerns about the mara or central american street gang in american and the involvement in that gang of some individuals who were previously in the orr uac among the changes imposed under the community safety initiative was a new requirement that either lloyd or his deputy jonathan personally review and approve all requests for release of any uac at any point during their time in orr had been housed in secure or at any one that is a small fraction of the total number of uacs in orr the great majority are in but the new york civil liberties union filed a class action lawsuit last month against lloyd and others

democrats looking for a way campaign posters at a sherrod brown event in andrew more but since that perception appears to have some of the story is the wall street big to the sluggish the deep income

bargaining in newsrooms could the election be for is betting on if the senator decides to and his staff seems to assume he his larger campaign will probably look and sound a lot like his early visit to of brown would hardly be the only populist on the bernie sanders is and he will continue to excoriate millionaires and elizabeth who passed on a presidential bid in is running as and still explaining how she would the the rest of the democratic field is sounding similar sherrod brown speaks at lovelady brewing in on ethan more but in las brown demonstrated several ways he would distinguish the first is a matter of warren and their ilk tend to view the world through an street brown sees everything from a to the casual sanders and warren can sound like bashing billionaires or bankers because billionaires or bankers a message that might resonate in liberal enclaves like vermont or massachusetts but play as well in middle in brown is always careful to remind voters that the real problem per se that workers no longer sharing in the wealth they help this positive rather than negative emphasis this idea that boosting not belittling capitalism colors nearly everything brown there in the way he talks about his as he did during a and event with local democrats at lovelady brewing in a vegas as a veteran brown has no shortage of legislative most of which are designed to strengthen key labor standards to reflect an economy that increasingly relies on alternative work arrangements freelancers and expand collective bargaining ensure that alternative workers get benefits crack down on employers that force people to work off the refuse to pay the minimum deny overtime steal tips or knowingly misclassify workers to avoid paying fair sherrod brown speaks at a brewery in on john more but perhaps the most pointed example of approach is tax for years brown has pushed for what he calls the patriot employer tax credit and the corporate freeloader a and approach to companies that slash labor costs to pad their first bill basically says that if you pay a decent provide decent benefits and you do your production in the united you get a lower tax brown explained in the other bill says when a big company that has executives making millions of dollars a year pays workers an and as a result those workers are eligible for section the earned income tax food stamps and medicaid that those companies pay a freeloader fee to reimburse taxpayers for subsidizing their the debate we should be bias is also apparent in the way he is beginning to think about the presidency near the end of the culinary workers town artie blanco a labor activist and democratic lobbed a question from the back of the democrats always pay lip service to labor she why should we think your administration would be any done this dignity of work heard from people like you who have pushed back on what we brown democratic presidents never do they put really folks in the department of but got to think about the whole got to think of people at the department of homeland the department of the the department of agriculture blanco have to be union brown could but they need to be people who think about whenever homeland security makes a whenever the department of agriculture makes a they does this mean to sherrod brown talks with scott adams at lovelady brewing on ethan more

workers in mexico afford to buy the cars they want to see us engage in trade bilaterally or to lift all brown saying that his story how we need to look at the world around even though it have anything to do with the question he was yet in the this kind of message discipline could prove to be a plus particularly in a crowded field competing for attention from a distractible media and a distracted brown knows his and he knows how to market identity and ideology would likely be bigger as a straight white male who will turn the week of the brown is not the sort of trailblazing candidate that many democrats want to lead their diverse and though he would be of two people the who voted against the iraq one of two people who voted against the only person who has a from the and one of the few pushing for marriage equality for as he likes to say on the brown has refused to join colleagues often those with less liberal records in endorsing this boldest ideas for the green new a federal jobs guarantee and on so easy to say we should have medicare for but i just know how you get it through brown told a young woman at his final las vegas a with voters of color hosted by make it work nevada do you tell people who have insurance happy going to cancel your insurance and put you in this medicare know the popular thing to say guarantee a job for brown responded when asked in henderson whether he would support a federal jobs i know how you do a guaranteed the scene at a event in during sherrod of elizabeth more brown explains his reticence in perfectly rational increasingly see that trump lied when he made he told not judging other but i want to make promises that i think are so hard to the things i talk we can yet the mood of the democratic base is probably more aspirational than rational right now and the ultimate benefit of were he to is that it could help him bridge such when it comes to the assumption is that brown would fall squarely on the side of the internal democratic debate that says the party should focus on winning back rust belt voters rather than turning out younger minority nonvoters in sun belt states like georgia and but while brown does like to pledge that he beat donald trump in my where they know me he actually buy the notion that democrats have to choose one path or the other as long as they emphasize labor which transcends such never hear me say white because talking to voters of both all all ages and all he told me after the culinary workers of the great things about a trade union is its more often than to look beyond race and about better wages and better benefits for everyone why called the union brown looked around the this union is about as good an example as you can i looked around there were some white faces in the but there were as if not latino black faces and local which represents workers in bars and has an especially diverse percent percent percent percent black only percent but not while the popular image of a union worker is a white guy on a midwestern manufacturing the reality is quite as of about of workers age to were women people of according to the economic policy institute and nonwhite workers in that category outnumbered white workers nearly to sherrod brown at the culinary union hall in las john more possible to imagine an electoral scenario in the future that proves point about the crossover appeal of his labor democrat over the last the culinary union has helped transform nevada into a reliable democratic so as rusty executive secretary treasurer of the nevada state put it before brown all coming and not one candidate who can win here unless we help they have to come through if taylor choose to endorse and mobilize on behalf of most candidate in this brown could wind up winning the nevada caucuses even with women and minority women in the as for being a labor democrat could help with that in previous counteroffers to liberals medicare at adding a public option to doubling the earned income tax credit would have been tarred as by conservatives and considered unpalatable among in a field flirting with actual democratic very plans seem more at the same his commitment to labor the cornerstone of modern leftism in america could serve to persuade wary progressives that not some sort of how brown will fare in a national remains to be on he can come across as somewhat dour and a recent quinnipiac poll showed that percent of democrats know enough about him to form an positive or yet in person brown is a surprisingly spry and sunny retail peppering both voters and reporters with personal questions he always asks and usually both first and last names and staying long after events to sign posters and pose for sherrod brown signs campaign posters after

returning an overwhelming majority of the rnc rules committee decided at thursday to stick around and finish their job in a single marathon the extension was widely seen as a way for the republican establishment to wear down and ultimately destroy a pair of overlapping grassroots insurgencies angling to reform the party and possibly dump presumptive nominee donald the strategy rules committee meetings are usually this gathering broke with that because where the two defining battles of the republican convention were can the delegates unbind themselves from their primary results and instead vote their conscience on the first ballot a maneuver that would allow them to rebel against trump and select someone else and should the gop become a less centralized and ultimately more conservative nearly every major proposal was designed to address one of these two existential with the rnc brass and team trump lining up on the side and the dump trump delegates and grassroots conservatives pushing for and on every major the alliance got exactly what it the marquee battle over binding began at when jordan ross of nevada stepped to the microphone to propose an amendment to rule that as he put this once and for amendment clearly stated that binding would be have no intention of returning to voters and telling them i had a part in shredding their ross trump is the presumptive added bruce

member gwen bowen of should be the grassroots people making the and not the paid but that amendment also this time by a clear voice the same thing happened with every amendment related to rule which governs the primary calendar and which insurgents have said is unfair to grassroots they were all voted and even though lee again stepped to the microphone and said that the gop cease to be a party if we allow others to vote in our elections and determine our an amendment that would reward states for holding closed primaries fell short as the vote was to the battle over binding quite finished the question now is whether unruh and her allies will be able to cobble together the votes they need to pass a minority report and force all delegates to vote yes or no on the convention support appeared

statement for the record senate select committee on intelligence james comey june chairman ranking member members of the thank you for inviting me to appear before you i was asked to testify today to describe for you my interactions with and president trump on subjects that i understand are of interest to i have not included every detail from my conversations with the to the best of my i have tried to include information that may be relevant to the january briefing i first met trump on january in a conference room at trump tower in new i was there with other intelligence community leaders to brief him and his new national security team on the findings of an ic assessment concerning russian efforts to interfere in the at the conclusion of that i remained alone with the president elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the the ic leadership thought it for a variety of to alert the incoming president to the existence of this even though it was salacious and among those reasons we knew the media was about to publicly report the material and we believed the ic should not keep knowledge of the material and its imminent release from the and to the extent there was some effort to compromise an incoming we could blunt any such effort with a defensive the director of national intelligence asked that i personally do this portion of the briefing because i was staying in my position and because the material implicated the we also agreed i would do it alone to minimize potential embarrassment to the although we agreed it made sense for me to do the the leadership and i were concerned that the briefing might create a situation where a new president came into office uncertain about whether the fbi was conducting a investigation of his personal it is important to understand that fbi investigations are different than the known criminal investigative the goal in a investigation is to understand the technical and human methods that hostile foreign powers are using to influence the united states or to steal our the fbi uses that understanding to disrupt those sometimes disruption takes the form of alerting a person who is targeted for recruitment or influence by the foreign sometimes it involves hardening a computer system that is being sometimes it involves the recruited person into a or publicly calling out the behavior with sanctions or expulsions of intelligence on criminal prosecution is used to disrupt intelligence because the nature of the hostile foreign nation is well counterintelligence investigations tend to be centered on individuals the fbi suspects to be witting or unwitting agents of that foreign when the fbi develops reason to believe an american has been targeted for recruitment by a foreign power or is covertly acting as an agent of the foreign the fbi will an on that american and use legal authorities to try to learn more about the nature of any relationship with the foreign power so it can be in that prior to the january i discussed with the leadership team whether i should be prepared to assure trump that we were not investigating him that was we did not have an open case on we agreed i should do so if circumstances during our meeting at trump based on president elect reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the i offered that i felt compelled to document my first conversation with the in a to ensure i began to type it on a laptop in an fbi vehicle outside trump tower the moment i walked out of the creating written records immediately after conversations with trump was my practice from that point this had not been my practice in the i spoke alone with president obama twice in person never on the once in to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second for him to say goodbye in late in neither of those circumstances did i memorialize the i can recall nine conversations with president trump in four months three in person and six on the january dinner the president and i had dinner on january at pm in the green room at the white he had called me at lunchtime that day and invited me to dinner that saying he was going to invite my whole but decided to have just me this with the whole family coming the next it was unclear from the conversation who else would be at the although i assumed there would be it turned out to be just the two of seated at a small oval table in the center of the green two navy stewards waited on only entering the room to serve food and the president began by asking me whether i wanted to stay on as fbi which i found strange because he had already told me twice in earlier conversations that he hoped i would and i had assured him that i intended he said that lots of people wanted my job given the abuse i had taken during the previous he would understand if i wanted to walk my instincts told me that the and the pretense that this was our first discussion about my meant the dinner at least in an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage that concerned me given the traditionally independent status in the executive i replied that i loved my work and intended to stay and serve out my ten year term as and because the made me i added that i was not in the way politicians use that but he could always count on me to tell him the i added that i was not on side politically and could not be counted on in the traditional political a stance i said was in his best interest as the a few moments the president need i expect i or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that we simply looked at each other in the conversation then moved but he returned to the subject near the end of our at one i explained why it was so important that the fbi and the department of justice be independent of the white i said it was a throughout some presidents have decided that because come from they should try to hold the department but blurring those boundaries ultimately makes the problems worse by undermining public trust in the institutions and their near the end of our the president returned to the subject of my saying he was very glad i wanted to adding that he had heard great things about me from jim jeff and many he then need i will always get honesty from he paused and then what i honest i and then will get that from as i wrote in the memo i created immediately after the it is possible we understood the phrase but i decided it be productive to push it the term honest loyalty had helped end a very awkward conversation and my explanations had made clear what he should during the the president returned to the salacious material i had briefed him about on january as he had done expressed his disgust for the allegations and strongly denied he said he was considering ordering me to investigate the alleged incident to prove it i replied that he should give that careful thought because it might create a narrative that we were investigating him which we and because it was very difficult to prove a he said he would think about it and asked me to think about as was my practice for conversations with president i wrote a detailed memo about the dinner immediately afterwards and shared it with the senior leadership team of the february oval office meeting on february i went to the oval office for a scheduled counterterrorism briefing of the he sat behind the desk and a group of us sat in a of about six chairs facing him on the other side of the the vice deputy director of the director of the national counter terrorism secretary of homeland the attorney and i were in the of i was directly facing the sitting between the deputy cia director and the director of there were quite a few others in the sitting behind us on couches and the president signaled the end of the briefing by thanking the group and telling them all that he wanted to speak to me i stayed in my as the participants started to leave the oval the attorney general lingered by my but the president thanked him and said he wanted to speak only with the last person to leave was jared who also stood by my chair and exchanged pleasantries with the president then excused saying he wanted to speak with when the door by the grandfather clock and we were the president began by want to talk about mike flynn had resigned the previous the president began by saying flynn done anything wrong in speaking with the but he had to let him go because he had misled the vice he added that he had other concerns about which he did not then the president then made a long series of comments about the problem with leaks of classified information a concern i shared and still after he had spoken for a few minutes about reince priebus leaned in through the door by the grandfather clock and i could see a group of people waiting behind the president waved at him to close the saying he would be done the door the president then returned to the topic of mike is a good guy and has been through a he repeated that flynn done anything wrong on his calls with the but had misled the vice he then hope you can see your way clear to letting this to letting flynn he is a good i hope you can let this i replied only that is a good i had a positive experience dealing with mike flynn when he was a colleague as director of the defense intelligence agency at the beginning of my term at i did not say i would this the president returned briefly to the problem of i then got up and left out the door by the grandfather making my way through the large group of people waiting including priebus and the vice i immediately prepared an unclassified memo of the conversation about flynn and discussed the matter with fbi senior i had understood the president to be requesting that we drop any investigation of flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the russian ambassador in i did not understand the president to be talking about the broader investigation into russia or possible links to his i could be but i took him to be focusing on what had just happened with departure and the controversy around his account of his phone it was very given the role as an independent investigative the fbi leadership team agreed with me that it was important not to infect the investigative team with the which we did not intend to we also concluded given that it was a there was nothing available to corroborate my we concluded it made little sense to report it to attorney general who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in did so two weeks the deputy attorney role was then filled in an acting capacity by a united states who would also not be long in the after discussing the we decided to keep it very closely resolving to figure out what to do with it down the road as our investigation the investigation moved ahead at full with none of the investigative team members or the department of justice lawyers supporting them aware of the shortly i spoke with attorney general sessions in person to pass along the concerns about i took the opportunity to implore the attorney general to prevent any future direct communication between the president and i told the ag that what had just happened him being asked to leave while the fbi who reports to the remained behind was inappropriate and should never he did not for the reasons discussed i did not mention that the president broached the potential investigation of general march phone call on the morning of march the president called me at the he described the russia investigation as that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the he said he had nothing to do with had not been involved with hookers in and had always assumed he was being recorded when in he asked what we could do to the i responded that we were investigating the matter as quickly as we and that there would be great if we find to our having done the work he but then the problems this was causing then the president asked why there had been a congressional hearing about russia the previous week at which i as the department of justice confirmed the investigation into possible coordination between russia and the trump i explained the demands from the leadership of both parties in congress for more and that senator grassley had even held up the confirmation of the deputy attorney general until we briefed him in detail on the i explained that we had briefed the leadership of congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told those congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating president i reminded him i had previously told him he repeatedly told need to get that fact did not tell the president that the fbi and the department of justice had been reluctant to make public statements that we did not have an open case on president trump for a number of most importantly because it would create a duty to should that the president went on to say that if there were some associates of his who did something it would be good to find that but that he done anything wrong and hoped i would find a way to get it out that we investigating in an abrupt he turned the conversation to fbi deputy director andrew saying he brought up mccabe because i had said mccabe was although mcauliffe was close to the clintons and had given him think he meant deputy director campaign although i understand why the president was bringing this i repeated that mccabe was an honorable he finished by stressing that was interfering with his ability to make deals for the country and said he hoped i could find a way to get out that he being i told him i would see what we could and that we would do our investigative work well and as quickly as we immediately after that i called acting deputy attorney general dana boente sessions had by then recused himself on all russia related to report the substance of the call from the and said i would await his i did not hear back from him before the president called me again two weeks april phone call on the morning of april the president called me and asked what i had done about his request that i that he is not personally under i replied that i had passed his request to the acting deputy attorney but i had not heard he replied that was getting in the way of his ability to do his he said that perhaps he would have his people reach out to the acting deputy attorney i said that was the way his request should be i said the white house counsel should contact the leadership of doj to make the which was the traditional he said he would do that and i have been very loyal to very we had that thing you i did not reply or ask him what he meant by i said only that the way to handle it was to have the white house counsel call the acting deputy attorney he said that was what he would do and the call that was the last time i spoke

confounding he want to curtail his sweeping travel ban on muslim but aides talked him into an acid critic of military but staying in afghanistan and all set to show the north koreans except so far all done in the face of escalating provocation is to lean on the chinese much like the last three to this a strange duality to brand of a gulf between perception and when it comes to standards of like attacking critics in the media and running the government like a hardware store trump represents as radical a departure from convention as any of us have but in it seems to me that trumpism is turning out to be something less remarkable than a mostly cautious brand of conservatism to the pulls up well short of upending the established i most vociferous critics will scream that his radical agenda has only begun to reveal point out that already withdrawn from the paris climate accord and launched an unprecedented siege on federal and is on the verge of making health care unattainable for millions of americans who have that all sounds pretty grant except that unclear how much of a practical difference it will really make if formally in or out of the paris since it basically codifies a bunch of goals that industrialized countries were headed for you ask withdrawal from the pacific trade partnership is probably a bigger but you hear anyone on the left complaining about since there they actually agree with and while true that trump and his congressional leaders have used an arcane legislative rule to roll back more federal by a than any other also true that every one of those regulatory rules so far was issued by edict in the last several months of the obama so really not as if trump and his party are overturning decades of if going to conduct government by fiat on your way out the you really call it some kind of crazy radicalism when the next guy decides to reverse as for letting obamacare fail as trump put it this only threatening to follow through on what the republican house has now voted more than times to callous and politically not to this in policy to the extent you can discern seems considerably less extreme than those of other recent i recently watched a documentary called reagan which was mostly just a montage of compelling footage left over from the but which reminded me of just how existential our politics were back ronald reagan had come to power with the idea of rapidly rather than winding the nuclear arms race that transfixed and terrified the entire world at that time mainly by expanding american weaponry into outer next to rolling back a federal rule on ergonomics seem so a year into george bush was bent on remaking the entire globe by forcibly exporting democracy to arab countries on the brink of at this time in barack obama was preparing to add the largest single expansion of government social programs since the great most transformational proposal to this point involves building an imaginary made a lot of noise about reshaping nato or other global but so far all really done is irritate a few european leaders and rudely shove one raised the specter of getting us into some calamitous trade war with new protectionist but he rejected the idea championed by speaker ryan for a transfer tax on products made the only move he seems likely to take soon involves penalizing chinese competitors to american which is an industry his last two predecessors tried to protect in much the same his standout achievement in these first six months was to nominate and quickly seat neil gorsuch on the supreme which went smoothly mainly because gorsuch represented a thoroughly conventional choice for a republican why trumpism proving to be as radically disruptive as the man for one it seem to before your governing philosophy can remake the you have to have and trump seems mainly guided by theatrical instinct this is a man when asked for his views on the nuclear triad during a presidential debate for nuclear is just the the devastation is very important to talk about campaigning in also true that administration still lacks the bureaucratic capacity to do much more than keep the train on the tracks and that might not

violence than either of his mary president obama pushed guns to the top of the national agenda this announcing a series of modest executive actions to be followed by a televised town hall and probably not the best news in the world for bernie making a serious push in iowa just four weeks before the and who would rather be talking about almost anything the problem here for sanders just that the renewed conversation on guns takes away from his monastic focus on economic which he renewed with a combative speech in manhattan nor is it simply that gun violence is the one issue where who needs to consolidate the populist left of his has been decidedly less liberal than either of his the real issue is if you pay close the logic sanders deploys to defend his record on guns just happens to undermine the very core of his case for the presidency and his case against hillary start by taking a longer look at the history of gun legislation and voting record on the which has repeatedly been characterized as by reporters generally know as much about gun laws and firearms as i do about the migration of barn think they go there have been only a handful of truly pivotal congressional votes to broadly redefine gun rights in modern the first was in in the aftermath of the assassinations of martin luther king and robert when congress voted to prohibit certain kinds of citizens convicted from walking into a store and buying a that stood as the defining law of the land until when bill clinton led a successful and divisive push to expand those restrictions through what came to be known as the brady that law instituted a mandatory waiting period a maximum of three for all guns bought through licensed gun so that federal background checks could be the following congress added a ban on certain which the industry quickly none of stopped the flow of illegal guns into american so in the late a coalition of inspired by the successful litigation against the tobacco started suing the gun industry and some of the less scrupulous charging that they were negligent in their business practices and asking to be recouped for the costs of gun in after years of the gun lobby finally succeeded in getting congress to grant special legal immunity to gun makers and effectively shielding them from any liability having to do with basic this was an extraordinary intervention on behalf of an entire unparalleled in the modern annals of so where was sanders in all as a he steadfastly opposed the brady law he did bring himself to vote for the largely symbolic in when he was running for he voted with republicans on the odious immunity i guess you could call this a mixed in the same way that i could throw a shot of rum into a barrel of coke and call it a mixed but not all votes carry the same and if you know what talking hard to see record as anything but grossly on the two most meaningful pieces of gun legislation in american history one that is the foundation for federal gun and the other a clear effort by lobbyists to use their muscle to subvert the legal process sanders came out on the side of whatever other votes taken since becoming a senator one to extend brady to private sellers at gun have to be considered less to be my point to castigate sanders for the votes he cast on a single issue over a my guess is that sanders would do it differently now if he but on the list of things that make me think he might not be the next president who ends up on mount the gun record sits pretty far but the when sanders and his supporters defend his they like to make the point that sanders has represented where an awful lot of pickup trucks sport nra and where an awful lot of gun dealers make a decent living and want to get sued out of come from a rural and the views on gun control in rural states are different than in urban sanders explained during the democratic debate in las vegas in in an interview on of the last he people of my state i pretty that guns in vermont are not the same thing as guns in chicago or guns in los in our guns are used for in other sanders was representing the interests of his and you know what that makes bernie a and this is the problem the gun issue creates for because a politician is precisely what he purports not to his entire rationale as a candidate is that he alone chooses principle over that he votes his convictions and be corrupted by powerful interests or his own his main indictment of clinton which he laid out again this as obama wept publicly over the human wreckage of gun violence holds that she is a puppet of wall unwilling to break up the banks or reinstitute century regulations because a creature of political calculation rather than it turns that sanders understands political he voted against the brady law because it popular or especially relevant in and you can bet he was already eyeing higher office back he voted for immunity at the very moment when he was also running for an open senate and not a all of which is nothing wrong with we elect senators to represent our interests at not to go off chasing their own utopian ideals at our but you very well say that all right for sanders to look out for

frenzy that has descended upon it in recent like a blizzard that blots out everything then probably write it off as a frightening place an intolerant an unwelcoming a place where the worst of the united states has taken but what if the opposite were what at a moment of mounting political anxiety and creeping internet of fear and loathing and all the rest of whitefish in been demonstrating how at its can defeat such ugliness in the months and years because what i found when i actually bothered to spend some time in the first weeks of i made two extended trips to i got to know dozens of locals activists and skiers and loggers and what i found was a story that was a lot more interesting and inspiring than the one i had been reading about on the the headlines have certainly been jewish leaders in richard home town targeted in posting on website white supremacists threaten jewish community in montana can march through town carrying plans march against montana jews since every whitefish news alert has been about the same its most notorious white nationalist richard and the vicious unleashed on other whitefish most of them after spencer and his accused a local realtor tanya who is jewish of trying to run them out of the more than people who live in only or so are not even a synagogue members of the glacier jewish community a without meet jews can get a twisted but the basic contours are easy to richard who claims to have invented the term has spent the last years or so promoting an ideology despite his hipster preppy vests and elite is really just in whites are a superior america belongs to people of and ethnic is necessary to establish an where citizens who look like richard spencer can congregate under a of difference and the southern poverty law center

came to a head after the dream donald won the presidential and after spencer raised his glass and shouted hail our hail victory at an npi gathering in in inspiring his lusty followers to respond with nazi salutes what happened next is a bit of a since neither party sherry spencer or tanya the real estate agent is speaking to the what we know is that members of love lives a local activist became alarmed by the idea that richard mother was somehow his talk spread of a sizable protest outside gersh appears to have been part of that when word reached sherry she phoned according to the of the montana human rights rachel carroll who spoke to gersh an of her call with and myself saw a window where we thought that potentially sherry spencer was not happy with how everything was playing and maybe she wanted to do something about her words feel bad for my i feel bad for what the presence of my son has done in the whitefish gersh believed as a gesture of sherry spencer was open to selling seems to have seen things and soon she accused gersh of trying to as my and pressure her into selling spencer as a way of gaining benefit from threats of protest and reputation you think about my spencer what moral universe is it right for the of the son to be visited upon the a local published the same day sherry and her made it clear that they do not agree with love our they but are not we have never been we do not endorse the idea of white says conversation went the commercial and building at lupfer in that set off a troll storm after its sherry mother of leader richard accused a local real estate agent of trying to drive her out of andrew more when the troll storm targeting richard mother for harassment and wrote andrew anglin on his daily stormer anglin encouraged his army to

and spencer dismissed efforts as and choosing instead to blame the controversy on the actions of love lives which he described as a hate criminal gangs engage in such spencer go after a it is and the person who did this is named tanya the lesson of all spencer should not be lost on fight he other people in my broader fight gonna stick up for one of their when i arrived in anglin had just escalated

against marginalized read one from your bravery in standing up to ensure all residents are treated equally under the the event had been organized by two rookie jessica laferriere and dominica who as laferriere told as we fortunate to have love lives here to lean were really frustrated that whitefish was in the news for all of these negative while all of the good stuff was getting she knew we our initial vision was maybe people in the park with a single pa system and a guy with a we never could have imagined with the temperature hovering around minus hundreds had gathered they stayed for more than two there was a guy with a guitar musician jack and a too dancers from the halau ka waikahe lani malie hula school performed not organizers and whitefish residents dominca and jessica loti laferriere welcoming the crowd and introducing the speakers at lauren more but the heart of not was a pair of speeches by two members of badly shaken jewish both had the town in hilary executive director of the abbie a local spoke her she is a holocaust survivor who has always felt undercurrent of anxiety that he was never safe and that he would never really am awed by the contrast of my experience as a member of this shaw feel so privileged that i can speak publicly against hateful ideology without fear of persecution or grandfather taught her to never a book by its she told the not all germans were he told and he passed on stories of those who had helped him survive i find myself and my town under siege by cruel and while trying to stay rooted in my values of kindness and it is getting she is easy to assert that love live here when business as but now my beliefs about welcoming openness are really being put to the do i hold to my compassion when faced with such shameless ignorance and if i respond in anger and i do feel angry how will i know if i have crossed the line into hatred the shaw was a kind of to see the loneliness in the people who are working hard to hurt and to understand that those who hurt others have probably been hurt rabbi francine green roston spoke shortly back in new roston became the first woman in the conservative rabbinate to serve a congregation larger than she moved to the flathead valley in to replace rabbi allen secher as the head of the glacier jewish roston recounted the story of god telling at the edge of the red to stop and to act not telling you this because i believe in roston pray every and even the voice began to for several the park was save for the sound of roston let us know that we are not she finally let us know that our that our amazing magnificent town of is not only protected by divinely formed mountains of earth this town is protected by a wall of humanity that refuses to be quiet or sit still in the face of homophobia or rabbi francine roston speaking at the not lauren more roston and shaw had stepped to the microphone to publicly proclaim their resistance an act they knew full well could provoke more more that took real the fact that hundreds of their neighbors stood in the crippling cold to cheer them on was a powerful reminder to the world and to the nazis themselves of how marginal the haters really in the majority had refused to remain yet i help but notice a lingering sense of even despite all the talk of tolerance and martin luther day was still more than a week no one knew what would after the i approached rabbi but he quickly backed rabbi roston looked terrified when i told her i was a i felt they were reluctant to attract more media and rightly rachel carroll the of the montana human rights explained the the weeks we received more reports of hate incidents in the state than i receive in a on rivas told also seen an increase in fliering by white supremacists in the flathead and that is a direct result of anglin and spencer spreading these ideas and saying they are it has emboldened local activists to up their it was these gaede she who had told the daily stormer which whitefish businesses to target likely by looking for love lives here signs in their the crowd at the not gathering in subzero lauren more is not a community rivas an online he may not have the capability to pull off the march but the reality is that he control everyone who is paying attention and who is susceptible to his hateful same for richard so do i think there will be skinheads there next i but even if there that mean some random person show up with a the moment we still need to watch and on mlk i went back to i wanted to see how the whole thing would by the daily official earl ray day had anglin had failed to file a complete permit failed to pay the full failed to purchase insurance and failed to notify business along the parade route probably as rivas had put he is an online not a community anglin blamed for his misfortunes and promised that an even march with guns and special guests than we originally would take place in but mobilizing hundreds of to travel to a remote corner of montana in the dead of winter easy and as one daily stormer commenter some point its too late to be even the whitefish police force had summoned officers from other jurisdictions for the and from to the hours when the march was scheduled to happen love lives here was hosting a retreat at the middle school for families seeking refuge from whatever messiness might unfold on the there were still white supremacists in the people were still activists calling themselves against came from to protest a threatened march on main andrew more i pulled into whitefish right at as i made my way toward the previous prayer flags now fluttering above the sidewalk in the late afternoon i could hear passing pickup trucks honking their my heart there were protesters gathered at the some were holding signs with swastikas on i have it was just a bunch of puckish up from several of whom were wearing bright blue against fear i asked whether seen any people like our one troll told that make them over at the middle the usual announcements had been replaced on the marquee by a simple cardboard signs steered visitors toward down the a ball soup had like chicken soup matzo to help everyone calm read one for a not a read above a childlike drawing of a as volunteers wearing goofy hats made from empty boxes of manischewitz matzo ball mix ladled hot soup into cups and hauled crock pots outside to feed the shivering i sat down next to juliena moore and her moore told me that all four of her children have autism spectrum including sheena who was quick to point out that she let her disability stop her from skiing in the special olympics or creating a jewelry business with her frustrating to see how much hate has arisen since the juliena i or she remember just feeling so depressed and so i care less which party wins or but this i found that i actually did as the mother of disabled the most vivid image i had was of donald trump mocking that disabled it made me realize that my kids have a place in this new world of does that have anything to do with why you came out i juliena not going to let that kind of bigotry ruin my my disabled children have contributed so much to this every time someone tries to spread we should always try to speak it was almost i walked back to the center of it was so quiet i could hear my footsteps echoing off the icy the counterprotesters were the white supremacists had never shown richard spencer was miles away in according to will the chairman of love lives it was too early to declare you never know he maybe anglin and his allies will march next and he there were lessons to be this has shown me is that if we want to make a change as a our best way to do that is at the local randall told where can confront these issues of racism and and bigotry not just someone on social media making a comment thumbs thumbs neighbors meeting and coordinating plans to put their values out pretty powerful here in we might not have much say but we can make whitefish a better and if we do that all around the i think the national narrative can later that love lives here hosted its ninth annual mlk day celebration an event as by rabbi who as a freedom rider in the early marched alongside king a figure spencer has derided as fraud and as well as a symbol of dispossession and the destruction of occidental whitefish residents stood for hours on the corner of central and just in case any white supremacists showed andrew more the place you have known or the flags of your secher announced at the start of the welcome singers musicians an actor recited letter from birmingham students read their own letters to the incoming president about their for the some from the some from the all respectful and rooting for his and near the end of the rabbi francine green roston took the stage she hesitated before she spoke and when she finally her soft voice was trembling with can tell you that for the past two and a half there were moments when i questioned if made the right move for our roston i can tell for the past five i have had no doubt that is our the hall erupted in it to my like some kind of that roston still needed convincing after all that time was i of the brokenness of the but as the applause died i was reminded of something a man named rick nagle had told me over coffee earlier that now nagle is a vietnam veteran from cincinnati who moved to the flathead valley more than two decades in he participated in one of martin luther equal housing demonstrations in because our base commander told us not he it was there that nagle first discovered what patriotism meant to remember a bunch of hillbillies standing on the side of the street calling me a nagle i realized then that the only way it gets done is if i do the only way what gets i nagle the last or been i lost my sense of but i think this election has changed always easy for everybody to get riled up for two or three weeks after election and then they have to go buy christmas and in they forget about but this time they do i think that the enthusiasm and commitment seeing in whitefish is for real and not limited to i think that people are

better than no matter which generally also has probation which can alter naltrexone is a great medication when used on the right the issue is not that it is a bad med it is not it is that it may be the wrong medication for most patients as a so putting barriers up for access to the other medications based on stigma rather than science is the kolodny said the addiction specialists resistant to abandoning methadone or buprenorphine do not necessarily think vivitrol is a bad in he pointed many would like to see more research done so they can determine which patients would benefit from it the said vivitrol should not be presented as the only option or a superior option to the opioid medications that have a long and successful history of treating it a useful medication for some has it been tested against proven effective she said alkermes promoted a study conducted in russia with patients to secure fda over the course of six nearly half the participants who received vivitrol failed to

untreated patients with opioid dependence in russia without access to buprenorphine or which were widely available in the at that potential for vivitrol in new addicts brandeis kolodny believes vivitrol might be an appropriate treatment for young patients who been using for a physician might reasonably want him or her to stay off methadone and those regimens may need to be kept up for years or they could create a dependence of their but kolodny said marketing strategy has resulted in the aggressive use of vivitrol in what he considers a bad population for the moderate to severe opioid including heroin for whom we know approaches which vivitrol basically is are very risky is exactly where the drug is being promoted most he deni a clinical psychologist and the chief clinical officer at recovery centers of made a similar she found vivitrol particularly helpful for young adults who had recently become addicted to opioids and wanted to quit drugs according to addiction roughly million people in the world use and more than million people take opioids or katarzyna more are folks where hate to see them try a medication opioid replacement therapy like methadone or buprenorphine if they have a very short career of drug the camden waller agrees that vivitrol can be an effective treatment when patients are appropriately but worries that sales force is denigrating other effective just that when being pushed in courts and at the state and in a lot of different areas and in legislatures as being pushed as better than or equivalent to methadone or just waller just and we have those data to show that equivalent to or superior to yet pushing it as if equivalent in outcomes to and we just have the data to say my biggest waller found success prescribing vivitrol to patients in the past but fears some of its use in the criminal justice system amounts to medicine without a he said it takes a great deal of medical specialty training and evaluation to determine who might benefit from which reality is that you have a subset of people who are vulnerable to suggestive thought because they want to do the right thing and they know how to do he story derek of spanish credits vivitrol with saving his he became addicted to pain pills after tearing his rotator cuff while pitching for the university of baseball team when he was when his prescription ran a friend recommended he start smoking heroin because his average plummeted and he quit the baseball team forfeiting a athletic was heroin from there on i went on an i did things larson told yahoo he was prescribed but it mainly because get it cheap through insurance and sell it to other addicts at a profit to buy take suboxone as a substitute only if he ran a stint in rehab only seemed to get him more drug would steal so much surprised not larson never did shoot it thank i had so much money to keep most people have to turn to shooting it larson finally got clean for six months by taking vivitrol shortly after its fda approval for opioid but he convinced his family he was in the clear and stopped taking the shot so he could do heroin went on another i had a few drug the dea enforcement bust down my front door because they thought i was which i was a little bit to my he from a great i was just in this i was is my life i think i could have a life after larson went to jail for about six when he got he was busted for drug possession and landed back in at that three years he started using vivitrol again and he said been clean recommended vivitrol to five people from his worked for me and care to get off of he think i could do good but i know never been able so why get off of why take that not hurting risk of overdose despite its potential vivitrol all comes with in this overdose is a primary concern not from vivitrol but from opioids by patients who long been known that when a heroin addict comes out of his tolerance returns to and if he then started using the same amount of heroin as he could easily die of an with naltrexone patients just return to normal they become hypersensitive to kolodny said if opiate receptors are the brain responds by producing more of a process called this is not a problem if a patient keeps taking naltrexone because those extra receptors are also being but if a patient stops taking the he or she would become more sensitive to more sensitive to you can more easily die of an overdose when exposed to kolodny a study on chronic naltrexone use in rats published in the scientific journal brain research found that blocking opiate receptors made them more sensitive to the authors results demonstrate that chronic opiate receptor blockade increases the number of receptor sites for morphine and that this increase in receptors is accompanied by a neuronal supersensitivity to overdose deaths related to heroin have more than quadrupled since according to the centers for disease control and more kolodny said this is likely to be the for the increased risk of others agreed with significantly reverses abstinence moderately reverses and opioid replacement only mildly reverses waller if used in patients who are not

treatment program similar to hudson the researchers looked at inmates with opioid addiction who were given naltrexone started treatment before leaving and started at outpatient treatment centers after

had stuck with three patients died from overdose three to five months after treatment attrition and striking rate of overdose deaths are and support expanded availability of opioid agonist treatments prior to release and other supports and retention strategies in the the authors the fda package insert for vivitrol addresses the potential for increased risk of overdose in alkermes acknowledges this

administrator for hudson county and one of the reintegration chief said he is doubtful that former inmates would keep using heroin if they getting the effect because most live below the poverty folks steal to get i see them pumping heroin into their system when not getting the benefit out of aviles understand the overdose but once these folks put a bag of dope in themselves and not going to get i see them going back to buy another victory study alkermes conducted a study of patients called cost and treatment outcomes in and it has been registered on alkermes has not yet published its findings in but the company did present some information at an asam meeting in that it also provided to he said it appears from the presentation that alkermes tried to the to make vivitrol look but plain to see that results were if you between the in he this vivitrol study showed a troublingly high dropout one slide in the presentation lists reasons why participants stopped taking the according to only two reasons indicated successful and these accounted for percent of feels treatment goal and intended planned course of treatment all the other kolodny should be considered treatment these include to follow by terminated by of efficacy by and five patients died during the three of those five were went through this slide pretty you kind of have to read between the lines to get a sense that this was a total kolodny the slides do show that patients who received at least six consecutive months of vivitrol shots did but kolodny said more than half the patients had dropped off by that kolodny said very frustrated that alkermes has not yet published the results of the study in full because opioid addiction is most urgent public health would think in the midst of a public health if got data helpful for people to know for which patients be getting that drug and which patients should they should be sharing that kolodny thinks that alkermes does not want to publish the data because the subset of patients who should be taking vivitrol is very and the company wants to see it prescribed when asked about the victory the alkermes said a manuscript with data from it is undergoing peer review for publication he said this study was different from a clinical in many there was no control treatment length was not prescriptions were filled through commercial patients who dropped out could enroll again and treatment planning was decided by was not consistent among marketing and lobbying alkermes assumed the responsibility of marketing vivitrol from an outside in december according to annual fiscal is the first commercial product for which we have had sole responsibility for including but not limited to distribution and we are increasingly focused on maintaining rights to commercialize our leading product candidates in certain in september alkermes revealed at an event for investors that it had more than programs in states at that time aimed at incorporating vivitrol into state each program targets one of four criminal justice reentry drug public health agencies and the state laws according to the center for responsive alkermes spent million in lobbying last year and million in waller said alkermes is pressuring lawmakers in states such as pennsylvania and ohio to pass legislation that would increase access to vivitrol and limit it to other talked about pretty he opioid abuse is a major public health more directs pharmedout research and education which studies the effect that pharmaceutical marketing has on prescribing she said pharmaceutical companies will advertise to whoever can increase market share patients or someone she said not unusual for the companies to push for the passage of laws that benefit their she was astonished that lobbyists actually got legislators to write the name of the drug into a bill under consideration in one version of the law or a similar substance may be required to treat opioid or alcohol addiction as a condition of community pretrial or participation in a problem solving the bill did not pass in that it raises a lot of questions and ethical she is a company that is talking down treatments that have been proven to be effective in treating opioid stigma kolodny said the problem is that people are dying in the from a treatable we have medicines that will help keep people alive and treat this condition become an epidemic in the united inadequate access to these he you have many people reaching for and in some cases being referred for by a court to a treatment that is untested in many according to alkermes has capitalized on the stigma surrounding methadone by deftly incorporating it into sales pitches reaching high levels in the in shortly after visiting the vivitrol manufacturing facility in health and human services secretary tom price criticized methadone and buprenorphine as substituting one opioid for this outraged more than specialists who signed a letter expressing that price ignored scientific evidence and contributed to a stigma surrounding effective perception that persons receiving therapy with medications especially buprenorphine and methadone are not actually in recovery is widespread but grossly the letter access to all treatments terrence the chief operating officer of the national association of drug court said the practice his office advocates is that drug court participants have access to all three of the interventions that the fda has approved to treat addiction to the extent a program can do are required to participate in but the decision as to which particular combination of treatment interventions is something recommended by the treatment walton ben the chief clinical officer of phoenix house and phoenix life centers in incorporates vivitrol into his but said there enough scientific data to determine what the best medication is for each he informs patients of the relative advantages and disadvantages of each so they can make a decision have not been comparisons where we can is the best kind of medication for this type of whereas this is the right medication for this kind of so what left with is a mix between what the patient wants and we can but we dictate what someone can nordstrom perspective as a physician is that made an informed choice and getting what they as a he the choice of an appropriate drug for any patient comes down to an rather than a scientific does the patient prefer something like buprenorphine to prevent any residual withdrawal does the patient want to be off anything that could be my the only wrong medication choice for someone is no nordstrom the right medication for any one person is the medication that they want and that going to take and use in a way that will help them engage with the psychosocial services and the other when asked about marketing nordstrom drug manufacturers really kind of market so i know if it would be any the scourge of heroin the leading cause of accidental

of the united states in terms of meeting our alliance they are doing that using cybertools and interference in election and democratic processes and in the wake of the election and moving into the election in there is a lot of friction in the a shaky alliance despite a growing consensus in nato counsels about the seriousness of the russian at every stop on swing through europe this past week there were unmistakable signs that destabilization campaign is the picture that emerged was of an alliance besieged as never before in the war the western democracies are not only from sophisticated disinformation and but also from the ascendant hardline nationalist movements and political parties that are hostile to the friendly toward russia in some directly supported by funding from those populist and increasingly authoritarian parties have gained ground throughout holding the reins of power in poland and italy a far and they have made significant gains even in countries such as germany and at a time of great the western alliance has also been thrown badly off balance by president trump disruptive trump and some of his emissaries to europe often reflect the rhetoric and populist worldview of hardline diplomacy last summer was especially unsettling to the in a single week he publicly upbraided close nato allies and threw a summit in brussels into shattered diplomatic protocol by criticizing his london british prime minister theresa and in an obsequious performance in gave russian president vladimir denials of election interference weight equal to the conclusions

recently he has been in europe advising nationalist populist parties that are ascendant or in power in hungary and even there is also growing evidence that moscow took a direct interest in the brexit the times of london has reported on a research project at swansea university in wales and the university of california at berkeley that found more than twitter accounts with ties to russia tweeted

end of the american century is written one president performance at the and nato summits earlier this and his driving our closest allies into the arms of potential adversaries like china and russia by sanctioning are likely to be important said acts like there is no downside or negative consequences to the chaos he is creating but he is the united states is increasingly seen as a destabilizing and unpredictable force in international and that is forcing foreign leaders to make decisions that run counter to our on the day dunford flew from london to the times of london published a article about the attempted murder in salisbury last march of russian defector sergei who along with his daughter was poisoned with a nerve agent almost certainly made in the investigative journalism organization bellingcat revealed that one of the suspects described by moscow as an innocent tourist was actually a highly decorated officer in a special forces unit under the command of russian military the

russian military intelligence colonel sergei skripal at a hearing at the moscow district military court in moscow in yuri more nato fights back in recent the government of poland one of the western frontline defenders of freedom has moved alarmingly in the direction of undermining the constitutional since taking the law and justice party has adopted neighboring model of curtailing the independence of the constitutional politicizing the civil service and wielding public media as an instrument of party the scores of poland and hungary on freedom in the index have both fallen in recent yet there is something about sharing a border with russia and being what a polish taxi driver described to me as a historic between berlin and moscow that focuses the mind on the business at so when i asked scaparrotti whether russia is the western number one national security he he said on the sidelines of last nato conference in russia is conducting a form of hybrid he just below the level of outright you look at their cyber and social media their disinformation and their money and support to european organizations and political groups on both ends of the political they are doing those things in many european he my they are executing a destabilization campaign based on a strategy that assumes if they can destabilize western governments it will be to if you look at their military that is part of what they call they believe undermining western governments without ever firing a shot achieves their chairman of the joint chiefs of staff joseph and defense minister mariusz blaszczak at the nato military committee conference in on mateusz via getty more key aspects of hybrid destabilization campaign are constant cyberattacks and shape allied powers being attacked every said see attempts to breach our and communications both classified and on a daily and there is no doubt that some of those cyberattacks are conducted by russian without going into in some i personally believe those cyberattacks are connected to the russian state and the state intelligence while russia is executing that hybrid campaign in many western including the scaparrotti notes that attacks are focused on eastern allies bordering including poland and the baltic states of lithuania and according to bob new russian officials have gone so far as to privately warn the pentagon that in the event of war involving nato allies in the moscow would not hesitate to use tactical nuclear russians have always seen those countries along the eastern border of the nato alliance as a region of privileged influence for and they want to continue to be able to exert influence he that realization has prompted a dramatic change in posture and staff has spent considerable time and effort dusting off old cold war concepts such as rapid reinforcement and battle the most tangible sign of new mindset was the european deterrence which was established after annexation of crimea to reassure nervous allies that share a border with that led to the deployment of four multinational to the baltics and each led by a canada leads the battle group deployed to germany leads in great britain in estonia and the in late last nato defense ministers also agreed to create two commands to facilitate the rapid reinforcement of europe in the event of a conflict with in warsaw last senior nato military officials

hutchison before a session of nato leaders and delegations from ukraine and georgia at the nato summit on july in sean more the most important thing that has changed is the mindset that we have to get up every day now and be ready to deal with a real that is a fundamental and change is the hardest thing for any military human nature being what it taken a bit of time to get to this said i think the russians were ahead of us in terms of changing their posture with respect to it took the west a little longer to recognize that russia is not our friend or partner right now and we had better start paying close attention to what the russians are doing and how they are but i feel like we have the right focus spain on edge on the last stop of his swing through europe this dunford stopped in madrid

this job three years there was not an appreciation for the challenge that russia and violent extremism pose to the dunford a military very easy now because we are no longer having that we have a very clear mandate to adapt nato to be relevant to the challenges we confront when i asked dunford what if a military alliance like nato could play to counter the wider instability so evident in western he was been plenty of periods in the pasts where significant forces were dividing including our the confidence i have in our ability to come out of these periods is based on democratic institutions that protect at the end of the our democratic institutions that provide resilience in difficult said who stressed that relationships have a stabilizing effect on the broader relationships between

with that or to use that but sometimes he uses a sometimes he does things in a way that is not very apparent to and where faith comes because god sets up the and he takes them we just need to be willing to understand because you for in the case of donald just as an pick him out of the laughter a person it seemed like every the pundits were it never recover from all and then go up in the what that says to me is that god has something to do with what is going on right the week before i was on cnn with jake and he was even hugh hewitt is saying that donald trump is a terrible candidate and he and not a one of you and i he a and he a i should do a special program on how many times over the last two the pundits have been be a short laughter the look on his face was priceless after if we go away from this meeting with the understanding that you who have tremendous spheres of had an opportunity to hear the heart of donald trump on a lot of different issues through the he will have an opportunity to hear your and he heard several different leaders this morning talk about on their we need to just keep in mind that hillary when she was in was on a basis with saul who was her saul who wrote the book rules for radicals if you read please read you need to know who dealing and on the dedication guess who it who gave his own kingdom as a moans from the audience this is who we are dealing ladies and you the ship is about to sail off niagara full of passengers and about to be you know what we have to we have to stop the ship number number we have to turn it and number we have to sail in the other there are a lot of people who think you can do all of that at the same you stop the do that this fall in massive we can then turn it we can then sail it in the other not going to tell you who you should vote just telling you to use your a reason that god gave us these very sophisticated made in his and it should be very apparent who is interested in religious liberty and who is interested in taking those things away from but we are the ones who make the time for us to put the stake in the and not sit down and shut up like they want us to but to stand up for our thank applause to get us i want to introduce a good a wonderful individual who you all we met decades ago and have had the pleasure candy and i of actually being flown by him in an a pilot as well as a great a person of strong conviction who does not believe in political which makes him a hero in my ladies and please welcome franklin franklin graham and ceo of the billy graham evangelistic thank been my privilege these last few months to travel across the to hold prayer rallies at state on their when we first pulled out we pulled them for but we had no clue how many would thousands and thousands in the cold in some early in the year in in we had thousands come to not to hear but come to pray because they know our country is in and ladies and i need to convince you of that you know and as we look at who is to be the next president of the united many people are looking at and like to take just a moment to look at the some of the individuals are our abraham great man of but he moses led his people out of but he disobeyed david committed adultery and then he committed the apostles turned their back on the lord jesus christ in his greatest hour of they turned their backs and they peter denied him three all of this to there is none of us is all guilty of franklin graham stands here in front of you today as a but been forgiven by he forgave i invited christ to come into my heart and my he forgave no perfect person only and the lord jesus and not running for president of the united this so i would just like to open up with a word of our heavenly we thank you that you love thank you for sending your son jesus christ from heaven to this earth to save to save us from our thank you that he took our sins to that that you raised him to thank father as we look at this as we look at the trouble that in we recognize as a people that we have we have and we ask for your we pray this election that you will give a man to be the president of this country who will honor who will respect our who will respect the authority of the we pray that your will will be we ask now that you would bless this meeting and this time as trump is able to answer we pray that each one here today will leave this room with a new appreciation of this man and this we thank and in we i would like to introduce now a very good friend of jerry falwell who need an he has one of the great that his father that he has taken it to a whole new my three sons found their wives at liberty and so i owe a great debt to who is now in heaven and sure watching us but he is a great and i have a lot of respect for jerry falwell jerry falwell of liberty franklin mentioned that his three sons came to he mention that the youngest of the three spent more time out at our farm than he did i wrote many notes for excusing him for not being ready for a but he made it and we love the whole franklin graham but i want to get mike huckabee to come out and sit on the get going to be the moderator this applause huckabee was telling us at dinner last night how in ronald reagan addressed a group just like and he told the understand that the rules in many cases allow you to endorse but here to endorse you and what you that changed the tide of that and i see some folks with gray hair nodding who remember it was great to be reminded of that last night by the my distinct honor and privilege to welcome a man who introduced twice at liberty and over the last four my wife and i have remained in close contact with as our friendship has so has my admiration for as you liberty university does not support or oppose candidates for public office a lawyer makes me say that but i personally feel strongly that donald trump is man to lead our nation at this crucial crossroads in our applause many of you knew my father he loved loved his he was criticized in the early for supporting ronald reagan over jimmy carter because reagan was a hollywood actor who had been married and divorced and jimmy carter was a southern baptist sunday school he later was criticized for supporting george bush over his good friend the pat but he proudly replied to those criticisms that when jesus said render unto caesar the things that are that meant we are to be good active in the political serving in our armed if and while jesus never told us how to he gave us all the good common sense to choose the best sunday was my family made it a very special day for it reminded me of some of the things my father said that seem particularly relevant in when there was first talk of hillary clinton running for he hope hillary is the candidate because nothing will energize my constituency like hillary he lucifer himself that work as his last national interview was with christiane amanpour of cnn just a few days before his death in and in that interview he joked that he had dreamed recently that chelsea clinton had interviewed him and asked him what are the three greatest threats facing our he and your now on his way and we have the chance to make sure that mama goes out of politics with in the last presidential there were million christians who were registered but who bother to show up at the we are the single most influential voting my polarizing statements made people who know him think that he was tough and but he was anything people who knew him personally attested to the fact that he helped people in he keep any money in his pocket because he gave it away to whoever needed some and he gave away so many scholarships at liberty he nearly bankrupted the but come to see many of these same qualities in donald i want to introduce you to the donald trump that i to tell you why i trust not donald trump in the or of his seen a man who honors his fiduciary responsibilities through his he makes tough decisions to ensure his he speaks the truth publicly even if it is uncomfortable for people to yet he treats his his and people in need with the greatest loyalty and i gave many examples of personal generosity when i welcomed him to liberty university earlier this ecclesiastes says that there is a time for war and a time for now it from my the time for to me this election is very we have an election between someone who promises he will support issues important to us as including appointing justices to the supreme court who would make us all donald and someone who promises she will do just the hillary donald trump is a breath of fresh air in a nation where the political establishment of both parties has betrayed their constituencies time and time again with broken promises and a continuation of the status trump is a bold and fearless leader who will take the fight to our and to the radical islamic whether they attack in san orlando or or whether they simply just steal american jobs through unfair trade the day after ronald reagan became iran released american hostages that had been held for in my the day after trump becomes every terrorist in the world will crawl under a rock in similar he is here because no leader leads he wants to hear from from and he has been a friend to this he is and has been a he expect you to agree with him on every issue or to endorse or condone his style of if we all wait for the perfect candidate who has the demeanor of our pastors and agrees with us on every issue including our personal theological beliefs then we may all sit at home on election day for the rest of our how many of you can honestly say that you agree with your spouse on i know i donald trump shuns the censorship that is rooted in political correctness and speaks the plain truth that so many have been longing to the mainstream press expected this to end his candidacy early but it did just the he soared in the polls and now is the presumptive republican liberty university is a unique institution because unlike most nonprofit we try to operate like a emphasizing treating students like as general counsel at liberty in my younger we fought to i spent many days negotiating with creditors and spent many weekends with my begging and borrowing from lenders and donors to cover the paychecks that we had already written on the friday but by applying business principles with an entrepreneurial we finally saw in just the last five liberty has become one of only about universities in the country that are rated aa or aaa by standard and poors and the chronicle of higher education in february of the past year predicted that business model could become the future of higher it was reported in the richmond times just this week that liberty has bucked the trend of divestment in israel by many major institutions by doing just the opposite and investing many millions of dollars of our endowment in donald trump is the only candidate in this election who has achieved independent financial not a puppet on a string like the other who has wealthy donors some from countries who oppress women and gays as her puppet and a key reason why so many voters are attracted to imagine how wonderful it would be for once that the united states of america has as its president a man who has built companies from who knows what it feels like to be solely responsible for finding the money each week to cover who runs the nation with the same entrepreneurial business principles that have brought success to his own you our founding fathers envisioned a nation governed by citizen and i believe the american public is finally ready to elect a candidate who is not a career but rather who has succeeded in in the real in the real please welcome a man who i pray earnestly will be the next president of the united donald applause mike i want to begin by expressing appreciation to you for coming and being willing to sit at the assembly of some of the great spiritual leaders and faith leaders in and pretty sure right when i say that i think hillary is gonna have a meeting like where willing to sit down with the faith answer and speak from the heart to the people of our i want to on behalf of all these folks who are thank applause donald this began as just a little ben carson came up we love become really great he it be we have some religious we have some great good and just a small maybe i figured maybe half an hour to see i be my and this came out to be over and you know that shows we all love each and so ben is one of the greatest salesmen ever he you think you can keep it going longer than the and i so gonna spend as much time as we need i think fair to say that all happy to be but ben carson and i as happy to be laughter we are here today because the people of america have overwhelmingly decided that you should be the nominee of the republican i want to make sure that you know that people have not come to this room as an not come to this room to try to trap you or trick come to this room because they want to be behind somebody who will lead this nation out of the abyss that we have been in for eight gonna have a number of questions from delightful individuals who have carefully thought through the questions they want to going to get to as many of them as we humanly try to keep the questions as short as and the answers brief and to the so that we can get to before we go to the individual something that i want to say to you and ask you to respond to because something that i in a way that most people would not have because if they on the stage during the presidential debates and also they would not have seen what i what ben carson the relationship that you have with your the relationship and bond that you have with your adult is one of the most admirable ever seen from any father with applause people can fake it onstage they can walk out and do a happy family moment but you fake that over and over what i saw was and it was one of the reasons that i have had no hesitation endorsing supporting and enthusiastically encouraging people to get behind your going to talk about a lot of but i want you to begin today by what is it about the relationship you have with your children that is so what is that bond all thank you very such a nice i have great i i have really five wonderful three of them are now eric is right through they were born they went to top really a part of because in a certain you have to be lucky with to be maybe not i think more than they were all very good i better knock on wood when i say all this because get a call you know about a vicious world out so many of my friends who have children who are very got everything got and and call me up and you see my will you see my because i love the way your children i get a lot of compliments on the and i have to the thing that i always tell parents is because asked to speak about it is i would from the time they were little children i they even know what the words no and add it because if you have to an but no no and it would drive them i remember ivanka just take she even know what drugs and alcohol but drum it eric can tell drum it into them because seen so many children who are as smart as you can the highest everything over because they got hooked on such a competitive more dangerous than the most dangerous ever had why we need to take care of our we have to take care of all our not going to be we can only do so but i always tell no no and i add to some if i if they go to church and if they start at a young a tremendous you see that too much where i went to sunday school at first presbyterian church in it was you go to sunday you have to do not oh like i think so and maybe we can get back into a position where applause the government has gotten so involved in your especially your that it makes it very talk about mike and i have been discussing and i think we have some very important things to the next president going to be not only with supreme court which also talk about at but also in things like freeing up your freeing up your freeing up you talk about religious liberty and religious you really have religious if you really think about because when president johnson had his he passed something that makes people very nervous to even talk to preserve their taken a lot of power away from christianity and other seen this is something that brought i was telling been meeting with paula been so pastor paula over and darrell scott and pastor we were at a meeting of two i is it that the whole thing with not going in the right getting weaker from a societal and over the course of various i realized that there are petrified ministers and they speak before the most incredible speakers you could ever better than any politician by and yet when it comes to talking about it openly or who they support or why they support somebody because a person a man or a woman who is into their petrified to do and i get the and then one at one of our somebody petrified of losing their and i is that all and they went into it was what happened during the johnson and i will tell you folks that some of you will some of you will and some of been ingrained and the worst thing because you even think about you see the forest for the some of you are so close to but i can tell i watched this during the last and i watched fear in the hearts of incredible and we are going to get rid of because you should have the right to applause you mentioned paula the two of you have been very close been like a spiritual counselor and not something you go around talking about all the one of the things say to all the people my conversations with who i is a great reminder to me that you are willing to listen to spiritual counsel from people who you know and you very encouraging and i think anybody here expects you to be theological i want to put you at because i think here thinking interviewing you to be our next this is not a pastoral search so off the hook for deep theological and i think probably some people are very vocal about their and other people are but like the old guy some people eat their soup louder than other but it mean the soup tastes any so we understand we come at this with that get to the and i think the first one gonna have is from james dobson of focus on the i am delighted to be here with the gospel just a wonderful thing to see this and a i also want to tell you that i have some water here with and i want to tell you had some trouble with my and i went to an nose and throat doctor just a month and he ran a thing down my looked at my and he got a grim look on his i my and he talk too gonna keep this real we just came from another and i expressed some thoughts to donald and been asked to repeat i just want to thank you for being i think everybody appreciates the fact that you took the time from all that got going applause in order to facilitate this the request for questions to be given to trump was submitted to over a million people i think that not fifty thousand questions came and then they did an analysis of those questions to see what people wanted trump to talk the number one issue was religious liberty more than anything because all the other issues relate to that and losing losing our religious as you bred into our spirits and the american way of the pilgrims came to this country with one motivation that drove them more than anything the desire to live free and be able to worship the god of their that has set the tone for everything come and of our founding fathers wrote that in the where the bill of those enumerated started with religious it was put number one for a because that sets the that is the foundation for all our other and yet when barack obama became i think there was a conscious effort to undermine our religious probably seen it from that time to have you noticed that the president and democrats and hillary hillary no longer talk about of they talk about of why have they changed very a freedom of worship means that you are confined to your churches and your but freedom of as identified in the is in the public so they have tried to limit us to our church so seeing more and more of we would like you to start your comments by answering that what will your administration do to help promote all of our freedoms all of the bill of and what it has meant to be an american and protect or do we have to fight another revolutionary war to preserve thank you very i appreciate first of not surprised to hear that that is the number one we talk about religious and i think it is the number one there are numerous things that going to be for one going to appoint great supreme court applause and these will be supreme court justices that will be great that will be talented men in what they do but also be applause as you because of the fact that i been a politician for very long been a politician now for a little more than months i was on the other side of i was a major i was part of the and all of a sudden when i they an i became an outsider in but i decided because always skepticism of someone who been speaking to the public for years and you know exactly what their views are i decided to name justices that were highly vetted by the federalist society and probably name four or five more that will be on a so know who be but doing a so they know who going to be be either them or people who are very we lost a great one in justice and that was a great but this this next could have as many as hard to i believe ever been as many as but we could have five justices of the supreme probably very possibly and could even be so if hillary gets we know what going to be putting in we know exactly going to going to end up being a different a different going to end up being a venezuela if she gets for a lot of different you see going on in venezuela right where fighting each killing each other over a loaf of we are going to have a lot of problems in this so i just think so what i said in my opening having to do with the johnson whatever you want to call everybody knows exactly what it a lot of people in the church like to talk about johnson amendment prohibited political endorsements by i think it may be my greatest contribution to christianity and other religions is to allow you to go and speak if you like somebody and you want somebody to represent you should have the right to do applause in one of these meetings with the pastors and i pointed out to the street on fifth and i those people walking down the street individually have more power than you do because they can say whatever they want and you and we have to get rid of and if we i really think going to have a continuing and i want to see because been a christian and i love and the evangelicals have been so incredibly i and all of a sudden i went to states that are highly evangelical as an south and not only did i i won in a and the evangelicals were on my and then i won the and i won all and the evangelicals were so they really get they understand and an amazing i always gonna have a time very when i get when people are going to say you say it right you go into the big department they have merry christmas they have and now even that is coming under you say becoming so politically correct that we function as a country applause going to be saying and going to be saying a lot of other when coaches allowed to pray on the field with their pplause going into a and gonna and not everybody has to pray if they want and but when a coach has a team and going into battle and restricted from praying and they fire the those days will be applause i honestly think we almost stop because what you just said was so i will i know you like i know dobson likes it this is a tremendous by the tape change hillary they covered her on fox if she says the mainstream media want to pick it they pick it they protect if we say something as a group but been really hit for they take a great story and make it a somewhat negative an incredible thing to i will say the the polls came out and they came out on the cnn anchors were devastated because so they had his worst three weeks which i think i i had my worst three weeks in the but i think i had my worst three weeks by any but the post came out there was a to they i believe she had the best two weeks of her and very little difference in the i tell if we get out and gonna win so so ronnie floyd president of the southern baptist thank a great honor for me to stand and represent all these people today to ask you this as evangelical oftentimes the media frames us as a voting but the term means a lot more than that to it means that we believe the bible is the absolute authority for all of faith and that jesus christ is the only way to that the ultimate hope of the world is to get the gospel to all people in the regardless of the color of their and we also believe that every person has that god has created us all in his and with i ask this question to president obama was the first black president in american this was a great triumph for the united for civil and we all celebrate that the nation seems today to be more divided racially and there is more violence in the inner cities than when president obama was my question is pertaining to you and your if elected president of the united what will you do to address the real need of poverty and violence and a lack of opportunity in the urban areas of our and to heal the worsening racial tension in the united states of there is one word that would take care of a big chunk of and we need applause our jobs are being taken away to other nafta which is one of the worst things ever signed economically in this it was signed by bill clinton a i won all these states by such big looking at all these factories that closed years ago and are jobs have to be brought with we also have to understand and they get enough credit but our police forces do an unbelievable they are so ridiculed and so you have one bad something a national story for and they show you the good work the police one thing i have to say is that when obama got i think he was going to be a great president i know it would be like but i thought he would be a great especially when talking about the inner and what they need is they need but they also need no spirit in these inner you look at going on in like a tale of two no no no hope for these gotta get in and gotta straighten it got a spirit crisis in this and not only talking about the inner cities talking people are showing up to my rallies because the the percent is a phony number derived by politicians who were years ago before obama to make presidents and politicians look and you all heard it a thousand times you look for a you look look and then you give and then not considered unemployed because not the real gotta be over the real the job situation bad the other because of obamacare which we will repeal and percent the premiums are going through the you in blue cross because of they just announced a percent going to announce an increase on for much of the going to be so high that election believe election and now what trying to because of the trying to get that instead of trying to get or next and we cannot let that because going to be numbers that are even higher than what it is a horrible thing going on with a it was gotten there by i he said keep your keep your all this and even democrats say why they voted for i mean it only passed a but gonna repeal it and replace gonna get to the inner we need a lot of work on the inner one of the toughest jobs gonna the inner cities are a tough been going on for a long and through various incentives and lots of other including spirit and gonna get things straightened people wanna talk about the inner but one of the toughest problems we have is right not something our politicians wanna talk david jeremiah pastor of shadow mountain community happy to be here and stand with this has been already a great we just came back from where we led people on a tour of the holy while we were we had this incredible sense that the people of israel feel abandoned by this over the last seven the relationship that we have with israel has deteriorated to such a degree that i felt like apologizing to them over what has for those of us who are this is not just a policy because we that been given our orders with regard to applause god told i will bless those who bless and i will curse those who curse our status as a nation depends upon our relationship with and we need a president who will be a friend to the people of they are a little the size of new surrounded by nations who want to obliterate them off the face of the we are the only friend they if you should become and i believe you and already praying that you will when you become we want to know how you are going to stand with israel and stand against those who want them to give up some of their land in order to have percent for i have been it is an amazing it has been shunned by the united in favor of iran and nobody knows going the iran deal is one of the worst deals ever not even talking about country to just talking as a they should use that as a study at the wharton school of finance on how not to do a laughter we gave including giving them back and now going around buying anything they including probably nuclear i they have to make they can buy in it was a horrible deal for so many of my friends are in all they supported obama over the i would are you doing a disaster for they love they fight for and then they support if you look at bibi i know if said it but i imagine that he likes obama too laughter he has forsaken these people for iran and but iran in iran has become a major gonna take over i was against the war in but i was totally against the way we got out of iraq as i the keep the keep the they keep the in the old days of going to keep to the victor go the we have stupid people leading this i could say it i went to an ivy league i could say it much nicer than but no better laughter and now almost like lost to our we will bring that and we will bring it back going to be close to samuel rodriguez of the national hispanic christian leadership latino evangelicals are not a monolithic voting but it is the religious demographic right it is a community committed to life staunchly committed to biblical committed to educational one of the issues that concerns us is we are not in favor of we have every right to stop all illegal immigration as expeditiously as applause there are terrorists coming narco traffickers coming in that want to do us but you talk about building a and because of taken place previously and even the interpretation through various media platforms and such there is the idea in the latino community that you have no commitment whatsoever to building a bridge to the your in doing both things in protecting our protecting our and simultaneously building a bridge with this wonderful community called the we have a but we have the southern border is a coming in through the southern border are massive amounts of drugs and lots of if we have a we have a and there is no gotta be a a you something to i have thousands of latinos and hispanics and mexicans working for phenomenal and this has nothing to do with anything other to have a we have to have a i did the and the wall has become massively popular with tremendous you hillary clinton wanted a wall i think in she wanted to build a i watched the other there was a clip of her wanting to build a i received the other endorsements from the border patrol applause these are intelligent people who do their who i got to know by going down to the and i said to let me ask how important is the and they you have no we need the another tool and maybe our most important tool in stopping happening with drugs and people coming illegally over the and i i feel good about it when you say because if you say i know what because you people know better than and you their job is much easier because told to stand do and happened is that people are just pouring across the look around the going to stop got heroin pouring into this country destroying the fabric of our lives and lives beyond our when i won new i got very familiar with the people up i talked about it all the you see these beautiful these rivers and so beautiful as a and i your biggest they and i it heroin go with that and they pouring across the cheaper than and our children are we have to help those people get better because so badly we have to stop this junk from pouring into our if my children were hooked on they be with me they be doing and they know even because seen a horrible and there are plenty of other drugs by the coming so gonna build a and i think doing very well with you a man who has a radio station in new all he was on television the other and he i see these and i have a radio talk all these people calling you all in favor of they all want and he was just a guy on i think he owned the station or he all in favor of so i hear the but i see and sammy sort of alluded to that today when we were discussing i think we have tremendous and especially from people who are here because they want to have their jobs taken they want their houses taken i think going to do a fantastic but the wall is very important from this by the other politicians build a like hard to in they built the great wall of which is times thirteen they built the great wall of china in they probably have caterpillar by the you years they built the great wall of and saying we build the the wall is so easy from a construction they actually wanted to build and they were unable to get their environmental impact statements can you believe because probably a certain form of rattlesnake was in their a true i jokingly as china is building a massive military facility in the south china i long do you think it took them to get their environmental impact as they have the largest excavators in the world ripping the hell out of the ocean and they started working not on they started working on saturday you we are really in a very dangerous world right and going to have to readjust our thinking very applause tony perkins of the family research i want to thank you for arranging your schedule to be here to moderate and i just want you to know that we all appreciate what done for our country as applause thank you for being i want to ask you a question kind of at the intersection of faith and our as a veteran of the marine very this administration has implemented policies allowing open homosexuality in our unilaterally placed women in infantry and special operations and the administration is before they urgently pushing transgenderism within the ranks of our now in the wake of these seen sexual assaults in our military go through the and seen religious liberty constantly even this i believe the video has gone viral of a retirement ceremony in which a veteran was physically carried out because he mentioned god at a retirement this is my question for what if of the obama administration will you and what steps will you take to restore our military and the rights of our men and women in uniform to practice their religious good first of i did read the story about rape in the inconceivable going a tremendous and another problem that people talking very rarely do you hear about it or talk about tony can bring it but very few people are open about big our military is so important from any you know when you talk about the most important jobs of a you always have to go with i without the and we need a strong our military has been totally i saw the other day you probably saw on a couple of the networks where they were talking about our fighter planes where to years using these planes to these are the planes and they have no parts because so old we make the parts so going into plane and going into where the planes are shown in and yet we still have them fighting and and taking parts pirating parts off of these and our military is so badly and we fight all over the we fight in little pockets we win we fight to nobody knows but doing we used to fight to we fight to and you know because prior to we never now we never you thought we won in we win in we handed iraq to we have given iraq with among the largest oil reserves in the world we have given it to iran through sheer the better forget about the iran deal that i talk about for the by the you know about billion and we get our prisoners back until the deal is we should have never negotiated until we got those prisoners and we should have doubled up the we double up the and you let them and then start and then we should have never given them the we should have just have we have a bit garbled here over laughter and trump shifts topics to the federal which allows syrian refugees he trump have no idea who they where they and put all over the even the governors i had a meeting with seven governors even the governors of this they know where these people are they know where being this could be the greatest trojan this could be the trojan ok we have no idea who these people and the governors even know being put into their just putting them a very serious the omnibus budget pays for it pays for illegals coming into the it pays for i how doing this is just you ever see your congress people and other and senators they go down and they they and then they go down to to clean things and then they get down there and they vote for and they get down and they vote for these budgets that are so almost like i tell this story you but probably not kiddingly where man or they go down there and they end up in the beautiful halls of and they look at the look at these look at this beautiful look at these and all of a they go from this person going to fight for to an automatic something maybe the but something and going to change just to so we have a very depleted we are going to bring our military back to full we are going to the cheapest thing we can by the the cheapest thing we can and and also you know we make modern we sell modern equipment to other and yet we have old we give modern equipment to our allies in the middle and we even know who our allies they have better you know the humvees by we have many warriors that have lost their legs and arms and everything been in a truck and it have the and they drive down a road and they get wiped and we give them to our and then a bullet is shot in the and our allies and the enemy take over the captured by a friend of mine has a son who has spent a lot of time in iraq and the and i do you he so sad because the enemy has better equipment than we and all our our they take it after our people not our we know who they we give it to the the rebels turn out to be worse than the ones that trying to get out of so we have people that know what but we have to build up our and we are going to let the generals make a real because you have political generals in you have generals making decisions that they believe and i want the generals without we want the we have to have the greatest fighting force in the whatever that may and we have to have the generals make these and the leaders the military leaders make these decisions without without people this or do because there are but i just want the greatest fighting force in the and i never want to have to use i want to have it so that when people look at they not going to play the way i thank kelly shackelford and ceo of first liberty institute law i lead a group called first liberty the largest legal organization in the country that all we do is religious and the coach kennedy case i just want to start out by saying thank not only for what you said but for what you said on twitter when that first became coach kennedy and his together with his young to pray on the football liberty institute just suspended it was clear that your natural instinct was to stand with the so when i hear things like what tony with the veteran that we had to launch that lawsuit this it just means a lot when you do what you did in speaking so thank i got in trouble for the world came down on that was another and why should why should we should have the we should have the applause this is a question on religious the first is what you that the next president is going to appoint at least three supreme court probably hundreds of federal judges these are life what process or what people are you going to rely on so you can assure people here to know gonna get really good and probably the key issue right now in religious liberty is the attempt to use gay rights to trump religious so a like the couple a christian baker in because they do a gay wedding been prosecuted by the been fined and told by the judge that they need to have you thought through or do you know where going to i know you may need time on some of these but i know this is something that would be very important to the people in this on the the federalist society is the gold standard on are you happy with i also heritage jim is jim demint and the heritage is i think doing a great and done it going to probably put four or five additional on the as said and going do going to do that very and the decision that looking at is ultimately going to be a court and the people that go on the court over the next period of time are going to have a lot to do with that because right that decision does not look and i know where you stand on it and that decision is not looking very good for and by the if you are not going to be very good for right and if hillary gets if she picks two more judges not four or five is a whole different your question is a whole different because the court is going to decide that going to decide that and i will say this and said putting judges the justices that put and you can look at their names and we have them but the i have gotten rave views from the people that picked so and pick a few more and be very gotten tremendous the alternative is the there be any judges put on they will be all they will be just to i think the second amendment is gonna be these are issues that should be decided by the american people through the ballot not by a handful of rogue justices appointed for applause and i think we just want to know going to appoint people who will respect the constitutional separation of powers and not allow people to be appointed who would go and legislate from the judicial and i think you can give us some comfort that going to appoint people who respect the constitution rather than completely ignore total respect for the so glad you mentioned the second because the second like the second amendment is under and you have right now a tied and if one judge gets the end of the second amendment certainly as you know and i and i say it in all hillary clinton is going to abolish the second amendment if she becomes she will so not going to have not going to have not going to be able to protect some of the ideas they have are unbelievable and not what our founders wanted or had in so the second amendment is totally under siege and going to protect the second you know the nra endorsed it was the earliest endorsement that ever i have great respect for the and i think an important but when we get down to the supreme talking about religious talking about all of the things that you asked and your but you know the courts that are going to and if my you know how going to and if her you also know how going to this is such an important and i say to you because you have such such unfortunately the government has weeded it away from you pretty but going to get it remember if you ever add the men and women here are the most powerful more because you have men and you probably have something like percent of the country but you use your you use your and i actually is it possible for lyndon johnson to get that you call it an amendment or whatever you want to call which took away this tremendous and people were asleep at the something going to get it applause and going to be incredible for for christianity and for other you i talked about a temporary ban on muslims until we find out going and i was met with tremendous rebuke and praise and i was met with some people thought some people think so but if i said something about nobody would it would be a whole different we let that all you used to go to and you when go there much different i as an the young people going as but we have to bring that we have to bring those values we have to bring that spirit and in a been taken way from you by the federal government and by these horrendous things that have been allowed in the but just remember you are the most powerful group in this but you have to realize you have to band you have to band if you band really not you have a powerful i see i see some of these incredible pastors and ministers and people that speak so and i see but great within their audience but then outside they have you have to band together as a and if you do you will bring it back like nothing has ever been brought applause after what you said about church and going to i have a feeling going to have a thousand invitations to show up at church every i know that you have stayed far longer than originally was agreed we very much appreciate and respect the fact that you just give us the you gave us way beyond what you were able to and sure your staff is upset because we have extended your nothing more important than this group of people to i agree with applause people representing millions of people across america who understand that this election is really not a hard we have hillary and we have you want to make america great you bring disruptive leadership to this country that will challenge the institutions that have virtually ruined the america that many of us grew up appreciate and want to hand to our kids and hillary clinton will continue the spiraling downfall of this and even in her which we cannot allow to and what sensed here is there are a lot of people who not only appreciate the extraordinary amount of time and attention that given to but more importantly not to to the people they to their to their to the future of and as i said at the i think anybody came here today expecting you to be able to answer a bible that the whole but what we heard today was a reminder why the people of this country gave you more votes in the primary than they have any other republican candidate in the history of the god you will look back in your first year as president of the united states and you will say that this event at the marquis marriott in new york was one of the seminal events if not the seminal event and turning point in taking you to the and on behalf of all these people i would like to say thank you and god bless you for your time applause i do believe what i said to trump and i think you agree with me this has truly been a seminal event in the process of electing our next but more importantly in getting america back on track where we can be proud of the america that we give to the next james robison of life outreach let me just say that trump met graciously with some of the leaders that you respect this and they represented your and not only your heart but the heart of god to this and i can tell you with no donald trump is greatly impressed with the jesus he saw in those men and women there and in he likes what he and with all my i believe that his heart is open to receiving from the jesus that we love and with all my i want to thank you and just been such a to others who stepped out ahead of time and write him i believe he wants to hear voice through you and i personally believe he wants to and i think if we walk in supernatural unity with the father and one i believe our nation is going to behold the glory of god in his church and i think we will experience the next great join together in prayer for i want to thank you for these who are standing out and i pray you would remove from any mind or heart any thought that we might be the more insignificant parts of your when i know for a fact it is highly likely the more significant kingdom impact are those who are here in this but even beyond them it may be like that beautiful lady we saw in the war praying for your it may be someone who prayed the pastor here into this we believe there are people praying all over this nation and we believe around the world praying for this nation of ours experienced the freedom that christ came to that blesses not only help everyone praying with me in this room to understand their vital importance in your but to go back and tell every member of their church family where they shepherd and where they lead of their indescribable value and importance in making a kingdom impact at this very dark moment in human history and the history of our i want to what i pray is in the heart of everyone we love we love you with all our soul and and we want to love our including every distinctly diverse and sometimes even member of your we want to be an answer to your while we ask you to answer our asking you to help us together and it can only be together that we can be the shining city set on a hill that cannot be asking you to put it in the heart

church already adorned in your and this world will know in fact if they think they are rejecting christ they will at least know what he looks they will know who rejecting and who because the

vladimir putin is the intellectual author of said steve a cia former station chief in moscow who later oversaw the russian operations during president barack second remind me again who president trump

fly them back on air force one or do you want me to send a plane for them united states has no extradition treaty with trump and his can take solace in the fact that no members of the campaign are

of the democratic party convention in july causing major disruptions that led to the resignation of the debbie wasserman despite repeated the emails came directly from the gru through guccifer the

do every the idea that a news organization would reach out to sources to get information does not strike me as taken at face what wikileaks did distinguish it from any other news he added that there is nothing in the indictment that suggests wikileaks was aware of guccifer real he also said he was unaware of any attempt by mueller or his team to interview the indictment also reveals how guccifer actively worked with journalists and in one case even an unnamed congressional candidate to distribute other emails that were stolen by the gru hackers from the democratic congressional campaign in one the indictment in guccifer received a request for stolen documents a candidate for the and then responded by sending the unnamed candidate opposition research material on the opponent from dccc a

outcome devastated my she was excited by the idea of a hillary clinton presidency and had never understood why i was less on the train back to washington the next as i sat writing my i noticed that she had left off with whatever disney show been watching and was staring numbly at the passing i leaned toward her and said see a woman president in your i she looked up at me totally as if i had read her your she hard for me to relive that even there was so much wrapped up in that question not least her doubts about whether the country could ever be ready for her own limitless and how long it might take for us to really get that same question runs like a treacherous current through campaign which i read this in i detest the entire genre of political which are almost always hopelessly banal tracts published for the purpose of getting their nominal authors on i expected nothing less from who has written her share of the in is more raw and therapeutic than i agree with my colleague jennifer who reviewed the book favorably for the new york that this may be as close to the real hillary as any of us are ever going to as others have clinton blames a lot of other people for her as she is really good at declaratively stating that she takes responsibility for things that go but she get what it actually means to take responsibility for things that go at an interval of what feels like every two momentary mea culpas are followed by a and then by an explanation of why someone else the the the the voters was really at perhaps the most consistent lament that runs through all of aside from inexhaustible contempt for the president who beat has to do with sexism embedded in the electorate and in the which clinton clearly sees as the one towering obstacle she shove suspect that for many of us more than we might think it feels somehow off to picture a woman sitting in the oval office or the situation clinton writes at one and in another blunt i wonder what it is about me that mystifies when there are so many men in politics who are far less and yet asked so much less frequently to open reveal prove that clinton can and does point to plenty of evidence to suggest that attitudes toward women skewed the election against start with the fact that the winner was a pretty blatant misogynist who incessantly mocked women for their appearances and who was caught on tape boasting about his forcible advances on according to data from pew research trump bested clinton by points among which was among the largest margins in the last among white voters without a college clinton lost by an astounding but also true that a lot of recent democratic all of them performed only incrementally better among these and as clinton herself she also lost among white which at least complicates the gender to the extent that clinton or some of her supporters see sexism as the principal answer then i think maybe asking the wrong the relevant issue really whether gender matters in politics or in the society generally clearly but rather whether the thing that matters this is difficult for a guy to write about i understand never have the personal experience with sexism that clinton or other women in politics just the peril of trying to understand politics from limited which is what charged to history is when it comes to tracing the arc of systemic i wrote about this at some length in when a lot of commentators were saying that barack obama possibly win over enough white voters to make him when al smith ran for president in catholicism was a defining ultimately trait in american he was the catholic and he by the time john kennedy ran three decades being catholic was still a but only a kennedy was a candidate who happened to be and that was a different when jesse jackson ran in and again in he was widely viewed as the black candidate for and his failure was a foregone but the door jackson kicked ajar swung open wider for obama years when race was still an but no longer a defining the same is i for being a the congresswomen shirley chisholm and pat schroeder were considered almost novelties when they ran for president as clinton schroeder was treated as a joke when she displayed the temerity to cry but clinton entered the primaries as the establishment candidate and the overwhelming not just the female while always an added never defined and on the list of challenges that made clinton a less than ideal candidate her her perceived entitlement her family history of her limited skill as a persuader the fact that she was a woman probably hovered somewhere near the in you could make a reasonable case just as race actually helped obama by giving white voters a chance to feel they were turning the page on an ugly historical gender probably benefited clinton to some a lot of women who so excited by her personally were nonetheless inspired to support her candidacy because of the change she that more than anything probably enabled her to hold off bernie ideological insurgency in the i raise all of and the fury i know it will provoke among some not because clinton entitled to take away her own lessons from the but because i think critical for americans and especially girls like my daughter to get those lessons and the right near as i can is that if a woman can run as the overwhelming favorite of a major and win the and then go on to win the popular then being a woman at the highest level in american politics a deal breaker or even a notable just something else to factor for the totality of those factors was too much to but if she the right woman for the she has made it all that less remarkable for another woman to run and in my the i feel is home mail news finance sports entertainment search mobile more yahoo search

accounts from congress members who spoke to the media in the wake of the mo on cnn right now we did hear about or if you are familiar with the movie the we practice on their baseball so it is a pretty good time for all except for the fact that the democrats have beaten us so but i was on deck about to and i hear i look and behind third in the dug i see a and i see a little bit of a body and then i hear another and i realize there is an active at the same time i hear steve scalise over near second base steve was our majority the gun was a it continues to fire at different you can imagine all the people in the field i run around to the side of home we have a batting cage with plastic wrapped around it to stop foul i was lying on the ground as gunfire heard a break in the gunfire and decided to take a ran from home plate to the base dugout for better there were a number of congressmen and congressional staffers who help us lying on the one of them was wounded in the took off my and myself and another congressman applied a tourniquet to try to slow down the in the towards the side of the dugout there is gunfire about five or seven feet to my people near the scene of a shooting at the republican congressional baseball team practice in on shawn more look up and a guy with a gun blasting it was one of the good one of our security detail who was shooting of course it was pistol versus rifle along the line just outside the chain link and he was ordering us to stay another security detail person was closer to home probably i see him but probably on the home plate side of the using the dugout as cover as firing and there must have been shots hard to itemize eventually they shot both of our security detail there were some congressmen on the phone screaming for related shooting at gop baseball practice in like a long and we even hearing sirens from local police which tells me they yet know what was going eventually the shooter started circling around third of course down on the ground and helping the guy got a bullet hole in his and the shooter starts coming around home plate towards where we outside the fence and my understanding is where our security detail took him at which once we got the that the shooter was we ran out to second base for steve we started giving him some putting i put pressure on his wound in his and a congressman from ohio brad fortunately is a he started doing what you need to do to try to minimize the blood thereafter the police showed and a helicopter landed in center field and took away whomever the folks decided was the most most i know who that person at that time the police were causing all of us to gather outside the line in the chain link fence in order to help assure if there was a second shooter that we would be better jeff to reporters had a lot of and i think he must have been secured behind the dugout for a so it was hard to get to initially he was right out in the our saw him raise the gun and he in the world is someone out here bird hunting at this we were doing batting there are a number of members and staff steve scalise was on second playing second fielding and all of a sudden we heard heard a very loud everybody like a the gunman was over by the dugout with a clear view of the field and everybody on then all of a a couple more and we knew what it and i just remember seeing some gravel as shots were coming near so we climbed into the dugout and tried to get our own people some people are calling it was at least minutes because we were applying pressure to one of the staffers who was shot in the leg and we got a belt put that could see steve scalise out in the he dragged himself after he was shot from near second about or yards into the a little further away from the but he was laying motionless out so i wanted to get to but there were still shots going overhead from both and so when we heard that the shooter was i just ran out to and started putting pressure on the and for about or did that until the medics baseball equipment scattered on the field where a shooting took place at the practice of the republican congressional baseball team in shawn more ron on fox news actually left a little probably about a couple minutes before this all and as i was getting into the car with one of my jeff there was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether there was republicans or democrats out it was just a little and then he kind of walked toward the area where all this and so told the police brad on fox news felt like i was back in iraq but without my i had just gone to the batting cages coming in from the field and heard the shot and everyone got and then i noticed that steve was down playing second and everyone was trying to get off of the steve was really security detail that fortunately was here because steve scalise was here began to a few other people got rand on msnbc was in the batting cage at the and the first shot was sort of an isolated i grew up in the south and someone just discharged a which that unusual in the but then i in the not in the country then after the first shot then there was a rapid succession of five or so outside the on the line at the batting cages outside the about a fence between me and the and in the field i see scalise is shot but and trying to drag himself through the dirt out into the there are two staffers in right field only about feet from but about a fence separating me from and they were laying but then seeing the shots hitting the dirt around them and trying to make a difficult do we lay stay and hope he hit and this is the difficult or does the shooter just advance and come closer and shoot so you have to make the decision at some point of whether to stay or and so one of the staffers scrambled up over the it was probably a he did it in about two seconds i think i could have done on the outside of the and he and i are hiding behind a but the gunshots are landing in the dirt in the outfield and around and it takes a few minutes to determine not sure where coming my instinct was they were coming from the and as more shots were fired we were pretty but kind of not sure which side of the tree to stand on because not sure where the shots are coming but everybody seemed to be congregating away from the line behind a small in the the people on the field unfortunately have much of a chance because nobody could get to them and they get to us it was a wide open field and there was no way to get to people like scalise until the firing had at one point it appeared the gunman i think he continued to i probably heard we heard the response from capitol hill actually very lucky they were they do a great these are brave men and and we were really lucky they were everybody probably would have died except for the fact capitol hill police were and the only reason they were there is we had a member of leadership on our if scalise been on the team and unfortunately he was and i hope he does well by him being there he probably saved else jeff via his facebook page am i was at the congressional baseball but left before the shooting to catch an earlier i believe i saw the shooter and am in the

because we have the funding to study she the doctor not like postpartum depression is a disease that we have treatment some things people use medical marijuana there is no treatment or there is treatment but it has bad side if the choice is an ssri as and or there is much better evidence on the former than the that mark acknowledges that is no scale for you can only know what a woman is telling you she is so if a woman with postpartum depression tries the other options and nothing helps as much as she she makes it her business to at least help with harm we prescribe medical so i

the commander in chief abruptly fired comey last month in the comey describes trump repeatedly pressuring him to publicly exonerate the president in his probe of russian meddling in the as well as asking him to quash the investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn read the statement statement for the record senate select committee on intelligence james comey june chairman ranking member members of the thank you for inviting me to appear before you i was asked to testify today to describe for you my interactions with and president trump on subjects that i understand are of interest to i have not included every detail from my conversations with the to the best of my i have tried to include information that may be relevant to the january briefing i first met trump on january in a conference room at trump tower in new i was there with other intelligence community leaders to brief him and his new national security team on the findings of an ic assessment concerning russian efforts to interfere in the at the conclusion of that i remained alone with the president elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the the ic leadership thought it for a variety of to alert the incoming president to the existence of this even though it was salacious and among those reasons we knew the media was about to publicly report the material and we believed the ic should not keep knowledge of the material and its imminent release from the and to the extent there was some effort to compromise an incoming we could blunt any such effort with a defensive the director of national intelligence asked that i personally do this portion of the briefing because i was staying in my position and because the material implicated the we also agreed i would do it alone to minimize potential embarrassment to the although we agreed it made sense for me to do the the leadership and i were concerned that the briefing might create a situation where a new president came into office uncertain about whether the fbi was conducting a investigation of his personal it is important to understand that fbi investigations are different than the known criminal investigative the goal in a investigation is to understand the technical and human methods that hostile foreign powers are using to influence the united states or to steal our the fbi uses that understanding to disrupt those sometimes disruption takes the form of alerting a person who is targeted for recruitment or influence by the foreign sometimes it involves hardening a computer system that is being sometimes it involves the recruited person into a or publicly calling out the behavior with sanctions or expulsions of intelligence on criminal prosecution is used to disrupt intelligence because the nature of the hostile foreign nation is well counterintelligence investigations tend to be centered on individuals the fbi suspects to be witting or unwitting agents of that foreign when the fbi develops reason to believe an american has been targeted for recruitment by a foreign power or is covertly acting as an agent of the foreign the fbi will an on that american and use legal authorities to try to learn more about the nature of any relationship with the foreign power so it can be in that prior to the january i discussed with the leadership team whether i should be prepared to assure trump that we were not investigating him that was we did not have an open case on we agreed i should do so if circumstances during our meeting at trump based on president elect reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the i offered that i felt compelled to document my first conversation with the in a to ensure i began to type it on a laptop in an fbi vehicle outside trump tower the moment i walked out of the creating written records immediately after conversations with trump was my practice from that point this had not been my practice in the i spoke alone with president obama twice in person never on the once in to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second for him to say goodbye in late in neither of those circumstances did i memorialize the i can recall nine conversations with president trump in four months three in person and six on the january dinner the president and i had dinner on january at pm in the green room at the white he had called me at lunchtime that day and invited me to dinner that saying he was going to invite my whole but decided to have just me this with the whole family coming the next it was unclear from the conversation who else would be at the although i assumed there would be it turned out to be just the two of seated at a small oval table in the center of the green two navy stewards waited on only entering the room to serve food and the president began by asking me whether i wanted to stay on as fbi which i found strange because he had already told me twice in earlier conversations that he hoped i would and i had assured him that i intended he said that lots of people wanted my job given the abuse i had taken during the previous he would understand if i wanted to walk my instincts told me that the and the pretense that this was our first discussion about my meant the dinner at least in an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage that concerned me given the traditionally independent status in the executive i replied that i loved my work and intended to stay and serve out my ten year term as and because the made me i added that i was not in the way politicians use that but he could always count on me to tell him the i added that i was not on side politically and could not be counted on in the traditional political a stance i said was in his best interest as the a few moments the president need i expect i or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that we simply looked at each other in the conversation then moved but he returned to the subject near the end of our at one i explained why it was so important that the fbi and the department of justice be independent of the white i said it was a throughout some presidents have decided that because come from they should try to hold the department but blurring those boundaries ultimately makes the problems worse by undermining public trust in the institutions and their near the end of our the president returned to the subject of my saying he was very glad i wanted to adding that he had heard great things about me from jim jeff and many he then need i will always get honesty from he paused and then what i honest i and then will get that from as i wrote in the memo i created immediately after the it is possible we understood the phrase but i decided it be productive to push it the term honest loyalty had helped end a very awkward conversation and my explanations had made clear what he should during the the president returned to the salacious material i had briefed him about on january as he had done expressed his disgust for the allegations and strongly denied he said he was considering ordering me to investigate the alleged incident to prove it i replied that he should give that careful thought because it might create a narrative that we were investigating him which we and because it was very difficult to prove a he said he would think about it and asked me to think about as was my practice for conversations with president i wrote a detailed memo about the dinner immediately afterwards and shared it with the senior leadership team of the february oval office meeting on february i went to the oval office for a scheduled counterterrorism briefing of the he sat behind the desk and a group of us sat in a of about six chairs facing him on the other side of the the vice deputy director of the director of the national counter terrorism secretary of homeland the attorney and i were in the of i was directly facing the sitting between the deputy cia director and the director of there were quite a few others in the sitting behind us on couches and the president signaled the end of the briefing by thanking the group and telling them all that he wanted to speak to me i stayed in my as the participants started to leave the oval the attorney general lingered by my but the president thanked him and said he wanted to speak only with the last person to leave was jared who also stood by my chair and exchanged pleasantries with the president then excused saying he wanted to speak with when the door by the grandfather clock and we were the president began by want to talk about mike flynn had resigned the previous the president began by saying flynn done anything wrong in speaking with the but he had to let him go because he had misled the vice he added that he had other concerns about which he did not then the president then made a long series of comments about the problem with leaks of classified information a concern i shared and still after he had spoken for a few minutes about reince priebus leaned in through the door by the grandfather clock and i could see a group of people waiting behind the president waved at him to close the saying he would be done the door the president then returned to the topic of mike is a good guy and has been through a he repeated that flynn done anything wrong on his calls with the but had misled the vice he then hope you can see your way clear to letting this to letting flynn he is a good i hope you can let this i replied only that is a good i had a positive experience dealing with mike flynn when he was a colleague as director of the defense intelligence agency at the beginning of my term at i did not say i would this the president returned briefly to the problem of i then got up and left out the door by the grandfather making my way through the large group of people waiting including priebus and the vice i immediately prepared an unclassified memo of the conversation about flynn and discussed the matter with fbi senior i had understood the president to be requesting that we drop any investigation of flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the russian ambassador in i did not understand the president to be talking about the broader investigation into russia or possible links to his i could be but i took him to be focusing on what had just happened with departure and the controversy around his account of his phone it was very given the role as an independent investigative the fbi leadership team agreed with me that it was important not to infect the investigative team with the which we did not intend to we also concluded given that it was a there was nothing available to corroborate my we concluded it made little sense to report it to attorney general who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in did so two weeks the deputy attorney role was then filled in an acting capacity by a united states who would also not be long in the after discussing the we decided to keep it very closely resolving to figure out what to do with it down the road as our investigation the investigation moved ahead at full with none of the investigative team members or the department of justice lawyers supporting them aware of the shortly i spoke with attorney general sessions in person to pass along the concerns about i took the opportunity to implore the attorney general to prevent any future direct communication between the president and i told the ag that what had just happened him being asked to leave while the fbi who reports to the remained behind was inappropriate and should never he did not for the reasons discussed i did not mention that the president broached the potential investigation of general march phone call on the morning of march the president called me at the he described the russia investigation as that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the he said he had nothing to do with had not been involved with hookers in and had always assumed he was being recorded when in he asked what we could do to the i responded that we were investigating the matter as quickly as we and that there would be great if we find to our having done the work he but then the problems this was causing then the president asked why there had been a congressional hearing about russia the previous week at which i as the department of justice confirmed the investigation into possible coordination between russia and the trump i explained the demands from the leadership of both parties in congress for more and that senator grassley had even held up the confirmation of the deputy attorney general until we briefed him in detail on the i explained that we had briefed the leadership of congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told those congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating president i reminded him i had previously told him he repeatedly told need to get that fact did not tell the president that the fbi and the department of justice had been reluctant to make public statements that we did not have an open case on president trump for a number of most importantly because it would create a duty to should that the president went on to say that if there were some associates of his who did something it would be good to find that but that he done anything wrong and hoped i would find a way to get it out that we investigating in an abrupt he turned the conversation to fbi deputy director andrew saying he brought up mccabe because i had said mccabe was although mcauliffe was close to the clintons and had given him think he meant deputy director campaign although i understand why the president was bringing this i repeated that mccabe was an honorable he finished by stressing that was interfering with his ability to make deals for the country and said he hoped i could find a way to get out that he being i told him i would see what we could and that we would do our investigative work well and as quickly as we immediately after that i called acting deputy attorney general dana boente sessions had by then recused himself on all russia related to report the substance of the call from the and said i would await his i did not hear back from him before the president called me again two weeks april phone call on the morning of april the president called me and asked what i had done about his request that i that he is not personally under i replied that i had passed his request to the acting deputy attorney but i had not heard he replied that was getting in the way of his ability to do his he said that perhaps he would have his people reach out to the acting deputy attorney i said that was the way his request should be i said the white house counsel should contact the leadership of doj to make the which was the traditional he said he would do that and i have been very loyal to very we had that thing you i did not reply or ask him what he meant by i said only that the way to handle it was to have the white house counsel call the acting deputy attorney he

michael killed in action in sitting at gravesite next to his watching her accept the folded flag with the thanks of a grateful hearing the report of the rifle salute and the sound of the bugler playing john kelly was confronted with the same question that haunted the families of the more than americans killed in action in iraq and was such unbearable sacrifice worth at some point kelly realized it was not for him to his son had already answered the his mind and in his heart he had decided somewhere between the day he was born at september and november that it was worth it to him to risk everything even his own life in the service of his kelly would later tell other gold star in spite of the terrible emptiness that is in a corner of my heart and i now know will be there until i see him and the corners of the hearts of everyone who ever knew we are so very ever since that john kelly has striven to keep from politicizing his death or making too much of it based on his own just days he insisted that the loss of his son not be mentioned when he gave a moving speech commemorating two other marines killed in he has discouraged questions about his loss even as he rose from commander of southern command to the head of the department of homeland security for the trump administration and to white house chief of when approached by the washington post for a profile in he revealed a source of his reticence in an are only one of the american families who have suffered the loss of a child in this the death of my boy simply cannot be made to seem any more tragic than the just as he has so often trampled the traditional boundaries of relations designed to cordon the military from hyperpartisan president trump this week thrust kelly and his loss into the bright glare of controversy trump was asked by a reporter why he had been uncharacteristically silent for days about the death of four special forces soldiers in during that trump had tweeted incessantly about nfl players failing to stand during the national he had engaged in public feuds with the mayor of hurricane ravaged san puerto and with senate foreign relations committee chairman bob in that trump threatened the media for spreading and taunted the leader of north but no mention of the loss of four troops killed in a firefight with terrorists in replying to the reporter in typical counterpuncher trump attempted to elevate his own stature by denigrating falsely accusing his presidential predecessors of never or only rarely calling gold star families who lost loved you look at president obama and other most of them make calls a lot of them make trump like to call when when i think able to do when the predictable backlash erupted against those false trump characteristically doubled in an interview with fox news radio on the trump offered up his chief of staff as evidence that obama call families of fallen service think called every family of someone who trump said in a comment that was later disputed by a number of gold star for other i you could ask did he get a call from in an extraordinary press conference on kelly confirmed that president obama did not call after the death of his that was not a kelly and indeed he initially advised trump against calling the families of the four soldiers killed in niger because there was little he could say to ease their when trump called the widow of army la david one of the troops killed in he reportedly told the grieving myeshia johnson that her husband what he signed up for but when it it hurts that was the account given by frederica a family friend who was with johnson during the call and called words trump called wilson a kelly said he was and when he heard that a member of congress had listened in on the call and made it the bitter between team trump and its critics is already in danger of trampling one of the last plots of sacred ground in increasingly charred political in the need to console the families of fallen warriors is one of a commander in most difficult and emotionally draining no two presidents approach the task in exactly the same and each brings to it their own unique interpersonal because the president is ultimately responsible for sending troops into there is inevitably an underlying tension in the and the politics and policies of war always hover presidents sign off on the order putting troops in they feel personally responsible for every death or injury that which makes calling on gold star families one of the most difficult things a commander in chief is asked to said retired david who commanded and allied forces in the willingness of partisans to exploit casualties for political he only adds to the pain of families who have lost love ones in would seem americans cannot even come together over our fallen troops peter feaver is a professor in security studies at duke university who served on george national security council think trump helped himself with this controversy because you can never really win an argument with a grieving gold star but this is a fraught issue that every war president has struggled how do you acknowledge the toll of war and do so in a way that overwhelm or even debilitate a commander in he even when they go well these are emotionally overwhelming white house chief of staff john kelly speaks to the media during the daily pablo martinez more bush met with a gold star family in on the same day as a presidential feaver and fell flat in the debate because he was so emotionally former secretary of defense robert gates wrote about the toll of writing the family of each service member killed in and how it affected his willingness to stay in the feaver believes that barack obama spent so much time with wounded veterans that it reinforced a tendency toward about military deployments that persisted through his second nor do all the exchanges between commanders in chief and grieving families go bill clinton was criticized

more have a newt gingrich told me this when i asked him if there was a job he might accept in the new have a job reconceptualizing the way republican government will coming from someone this would sound like one of those platitudes washington insiders often mouth when been passed over for as much to console themselves as to persuade i can do more good from outside the tent than inside i wanted a broader portfolio and so but anyone known gingrich for very long and he and i have talked often over the last decade knows that he be happier with how things are shaping he would have accepted the vice presidency had donald trump asked he has visions of himself as a very good defense if only he could hop into a time machine and serve during the last great land but hard to imagine newt he is universally known by his first name in washington dragging himself to the doorstep of some drab cabinet outpost every managing some sprawling taking orders over the phone from some deputy chief of staff perhaps one of the trump even harder to imagine him doing all that at the cost of the small empire he runs from across the potomac a lucrative generator of films and what gingrich as he first told me during a conversation at the republican convention in is to be harry the confidant to whom franklin roosevelt entrusted the implementation of the new i pointed out to during my hourlong visit to his arlington office monday that hopkins had worked alongside the is the modern gingrich said got an ipad and a be inside the white house as much as i want takeover of republican politics over the last unfathomable and yet somehow inevitable at the same posed a treacherous test for establishment few of whom came through mitt for tried to plant himself directly between trump and the and now finds himself demonstrating his fitness for the state department by translating french entrées off a would not say not gingrich told me of dalliance with i would say massively enjoyed on the other end of the spectrum you have chris who boldly leaped to side when it made him a pariah in his own party only to be cruelly it when trump no longer needed the governing perhaps no played it wilier than who has managed to hover near the center of republican power for most of the last remaining uncommitted throughout the early the former house speaker and presidential candidate spoke kindly enough of trump to be considered an but demonstrated enough independence to avoid becoming a gingrich may well be the longtime politician closest to what who disdains the entire would consider a when he greeted me he mentioned that he had just gotten off the phone with the who called because he had seen gingrich defending call with the taiwanese president in multiple tv they talk watches never kid gingrich told spend a lot of time studying what does he why does he do what trying to to that i told gingrich i was interested less in all the speculation around the transition than in how trump would i wanted to know what the first six months of the trump administration would actually look if gingrich had any influence over gingrich flashed that intrigued look he sometimes gives which i can only imagine is the same look he used to give his history students at west georgia college when they asked him something that got him ask me a good and i thought about how to put it down in an organized gingrich rising to his behind him was a whiteboard where newt had scribbled some phrases and like alan turing trying to decode some new political trump begins in answer form thus begins the personal evolution core cultural now he hurriedly erased it grabbing a red he started writing out a series of along with a triangular below this and in the middle of the gingrich scrawled out some these few he make up the centerpiece of what he calls they represent the story of the wollman skating rink in central which new york city tried and failed to rebuild at a cost of million over six and which an exasperated trump office looked out over this finally renovated in a matter of for only trump known a thing about skating gingrich reminded the first thing done was to call a canadian because he figured canadians must know a lot about building skating and within a week he had a have to take that story as a logic gingrich told adding that he had advised trump to make it a central plank of his in several key areas of challenge in his opening months would be to break with convention and smash the bureaucracy in a handful of key delivering fast results at a lower the park which trump did in fact highlight in his primetime convention has always seemed a little unpersuasive to rather than highlight genius as a it reminds you of how little he can actually point to as proof of public service a million sheet of ice stands as his lone testament to given that it made sense to me that gingrich should seize on this story as a guidepost for trump as he girds for some important early battles with an entrenched governing when all you have is a i guess everything looks like a first challenge in governing is to not blow gingrich told if you blow you just have a he was talking about the unavoidable problem trump will face right which is what to do about president signature health care with a republican congress at his disposal and eager to scrap the trump has no practical choice other than to make good on his vow to repeal but moving all at once would revoke coverage for some million americans and play havoc with the insurance got to get through how you unravel because they want to replace it in a way that you never own the gingrich want to leave million people so start with and it is really in other trump and the republican congress may make a big show of repealing some but the heart of the law namely the state exchanges and the subsidies may stay intact for a while while lawmakers debate other have to pass something in january or he told have you pick the dumbest parts of and you replace at the same he trump will have to do something immediate to back up his promises on keeping jobs in the while republican leaders have already balked at proposal to levy a percent tariff on gingrich thinks the principle of a transfer tax might be more what that in is that businesses might get a percent tax rebate on goods built domestically while paying a corresponding percent tax on anything they import from overseas essentially a tariff with a corresponding tax the third pillar of america great of was stemming illegal immediately after the gingrich made news when he called wall campaign in our he suggested there in have to be a but it might be literal in some with others filled in by sensors or gingrich expects trump to take a hard stand against sanctuary which would afford him a highly symbolic way to castigate both illegal immigration and liberal government a kind of but even as trump advances some tangible ideas to make good on his promises on these gingrich told have to get down to the often nasty business of breaking up longstanding this is the wollman rink parable applied to either trump gets control of the governing apparatus so he can do things the way he or the apparatus will simply stall until is the biggest fight that going to newt want you to go down and paint the building and the federal workforce not really sure where to find blue and not really sure we know how to but we can fill out a report telling you that seriously thinking about someday thinking about whether or not eventually have training to someday do what gingrich then outlined for on his were several grenades he wants trump to unpin and hurl in his first year on the job not only to remove the obstacles that stand in his path but to send a significant message to the voters about the meaning of trumpian the first he mentioned to me was a bill to reform the civil so that trump could hire and fire as he sees plan would be to make the veterans administration the focal point of this because that lends itself to a classic the idea is to make democrats choose between the interests of civil servants and those of you may is very good at conceiving of this kind of devious you want is to pit yourself against incompetent and sometimes criminal bureaucrats who are hurting he told then you all you democrats who are up in you want to vote to keep hurting the second assault gingrich wants to launch on the governing establishment is a bid to eliminate the congressional budget this is the nonpartisan group of government economists that legislative meaning it tells you how much your tax cuts or your wall is likely to cost the government over a period of if small band of stunningly arrogant bureaucrats who should all be the triangle gingrich had drawn on the whiteboard was what he called a really a but no one knows what this he as if people doodled watersheds every gingrich put the cbo on one on the other he scribbled down private alongside other elements of his trumpian the idea is to hire firms to forecast public still using not crossed the gingrich told is the centerpiece of and this is a very big test for this is not a city today capable of being a trumpian another point on watershed indicated an assault on the foreign policy he should quickly order the american embassy moved from tel aviv to jerusalem something the last three presidents have refused to which to gingrich demonstrates the outsize power of the diplomatic guarantee you the state department will fall on its people will be committing he somebody says to the foreign is whatever one thinks of these which taken together would essentially set official washington gingrich in under an spun out a more specific agenda for first year than anything the has managed he had created a checklist for systemic a series of skating rinks waiting to be taken over and what i listening to him hold was how much of this agenda reflected own conception of his nascent and how much was gingrich just being when i asked him whether he had discussed all this at length with gingrich told is the inevitable consequence of where we like saying to do i really have to advise him to refuel the and the answer is these are smart all of which gets at the essential mystery of trump right is as newt would have you a more more methodical thinker than he seemed at rallies or on the debate really radically smarter than most of his critics and much more gingrich assured or is trump more like one of those toy cars you might have had as a kid the kind that would keep going until it hit the wall of the then back up and head off in some other random did as his advisers say take a call from president last week because he had made a calculated decision to send china a or did he pick up the phone because impetuous and and only trying to look deliberate after the i really tell and as i tilted my head to study his it occurred to me that gingrich might not really know the washington orients itself by historical and no shortage of them have been thrown around where trump is a lot of hopeful republicans will tell you much like ronald whose adversaries too quickly dismissed as intellectually the thinking here is that trump may not be an especially learned guy when it comes to politics and but he knows what he and he can surround himself with people like who know all about what trump can as both a billionaire and a skilled is to hold the line and galvanize public in this controversial chat with the taiwanese president might be reminiscent of rattling of the perhaps he wants to be seen abroad as more impulsive and explosive than he really it seems to me a specious not least because reagan had governed the largest state in the nation and led a long ideological struggle within his own party before he was elected in he was nothing like the political novice that trump the tendency to underestimate him probably came from his western persona and distant career as a movie which seem irrelevant by modern for his gingrich likes to say that trump is an amalgam of three american andrew franklin roosevelt and when i offered that campaign seemed more like percent barnum to gingrich because it was a he said not accidental that gingrich compares himself to harry clearly he hopes the most relevant of the three influences now is roosevelt another wealthy new yorker who made common cause with the working class at a time of economic roosevelt not only redefined government in his time but realigned such that republicans were effectively decimated as a governing gingrich came to power in the on trying to flip that and he has never given planning horizon is january of he told we govern so effectively at every level that the next president is naturally a because being rewarded

all pelosi now have a real shot at returning to power next there was always a risk of republicans losing the senate in the entire map is tilted against democrats are defending seats this republicans are defending if as few as four of those seats flip a likely outcome the majority is democrats have the same sort of structural advantage in the for one house republicans enjoy a much bigger cushion seats to the than their senate this means that pelosi would need a net gain of at least seats to recapture control the kind of swing that gerrymandering largely rules in a normal election they stand a

news august danny and troy john jay more top tuesday was primary day in kansas and washington key takeaways included surprisingly strong showings from democratic house challengers in disappointing news for alexandra progressives across the and notable strides for labor and but more on those contests this marquee event was the special election to replace former gop pat tiberi in house encompassing the columbus suburbs and surrounding area and both democrats and republicans have reason to be encouraged and discouraged by the at press republican troy balderson appears to have edged out democrat danny by or percentage for some news the race remains too close to after they there are still thousands of provisional and absentee ballots left to count perhaps more than but most analysts agree that is unlikely to catch troy republican candidate for congressional jay more so republicans should be rejoicing and democrats should be crying into their iced almond sort with a house majority and a full seats at risk in republicans really afford to lose any more special elections especially in districts like the traditionally conservative which voted for donald trump by percentage points in ohio operatives considered a state an underwhelming he and were tied in the polls heading into and so a win is a win is a if ever a victory could be tempered with would be for one national republicans had to ride to congressional leadership the top house gop spent million on the the national republican congressional committee spent another republicans outspent democrats both trump and vice president mike pence came to ohio and campaigned on all of worth was only possible because there other congressional elections happening on the same in the baldersons of the world be receiving that kind of attention from the white and balderson himself may be among if he does end up assuming seat in he will only have a lock on it for three months the remainder of the term tiberi resigned from earlier this at that balderson will face off against for a second on to decide who will represent in the next some experts say balderson will have the advantage of incumbency this but unclear at a county proved on tuesday that he could come within a single percentage point of winning a district that leans republican by that should make him a magnet for democratic resources in the coming and it should give hope to democratic challengers elsewhere several dozen of whom will be competing in districts far less red than best of the while most political junkies were obsessing over truly results may have been rolling in thousands of miles like washington state has a nonpartisan primary which means democrats and republicans compete against each other and the top two finishers advance

kim schrier or attorney jason rittereiser will enter the fall contest in very good democratic candidate for congress kim courtesy of kim schrier for more what democrats necessarily was to put two other seats on the in the southwestern where democrats combined for percent of the vote and local college professor carolyn long currently lags a mere four points behind incumbent jaime herrera who has only barely managed to clear and on the easternmost where democratic challenger lisa brown is within votes of republican incumbent cathy mcmorris the only woman in house gop both seats will now be seen as prime democratic pickup most kansas coverage focused on the gop gubernatorial which pitted incumbent jeff colyer against kansas secretary of state kris the race was billed as yet another round in the ongoing battle between establishment republicans and trumpian with colyer in the establishment role assumed the governorship in january when his unpopular predecessor sam brownback accepted a religious ambassador appointment from and kobach in corner is best known for vice chairing president controversial voting commission and helping to author legislation so which side we know kobach

in davids will face off against incumbent republican kevin who captured only percent of the gop vote in primary a weak showing that convinced the cook political report to move his reelection race from

night and wednesday trump went on a twitter pointing out that his endorsed gop candidates josh hawley for missouri bill schuette for michigan john james for michigan troy balderson for ohio and lena epstein for michigan congresswoman had gone for proving that long as i campaign support senate and house candidates they will trump added in a separate does the president have a in one he is clearly a force to be reckoned with in republican primary contests it remains to be seen whether the candidate who needed his help the kris can eke out a but there were also signs tuesday that when it comes to the more consequential context of a general trump may wind up doing his party more harm than ohio is key the congressional centered on the columbus is and white and it has long voted for in trump performed worse among suburbanites than any republican in recent and since his divisive approach has only reinforced their troy balderson with president john more on that antipathy registered at the ballot balderson finished percentage points behind his republican predecessor in suburban franklin county and percentage points back in suburban delaware rose to percent in franklin and but languished between and percent in the more rural parts of the this suggests that the elements of the electorate the elements most uncomfortable with trump showed the most interest in voting and voted much more democratic than they have in the in a year when republicans are defending dozens of seats that look a lot like demographically but that tend to be a lot less in their partisan leanings seats from

up as a country in world war ii with all this swirling around president trump managed to lunch with his old friend chris christie i know what they talked but pretty sure it the opioid which was the stated reason for the if half as smart as he always says he then he offered to send a moving van to because trump needs a guy like christie to come in and grab the wheel of this careening and he needs it to happen believe i just the mention of christie is enough to send his legion of critics into feral fits of rage and he came within inches of an indictment for having presided over the basest kind of political which ultimately undid both his presidential campaign and his second term as new even his supporters were stung by how brazenly he swung behind trump and how small it made him we even be here were it not for vengeful if he decided to publicly disembowel marco rubio in that last debate in new as payback for a raft of negative trump would probably be back on the set right ogling the but whatever else you want to say about christie always found him to be a more complicated and gifted politician than his detractors can stand to the man knows how to bring focus to a political and how to advance a governing and how to balance public bluster with backroom and if anyone on senior staff who actually knows how to do any of by all get to the part of the ship still above water and wave your hands frantically so we can see not saying reince priebus a decent guy in a difficult but priebus is a wisconsin political operative who did a creditable job fundraising for the republican when it comes to running the vast federal government or navigating global he knows about as much as either priebus deserves credit for assembling the rest of this misfit team or too much of a supplicant to get control over staffing the whichever it he must know by now that he exactly fielding the kellyanne conway proved herself to be an elite campaign for but her descent into has been painful to and her

long ago was a press aide for michele and who is somehow now in charge of domestic policy occasionally presides over national security just in a typical moment from his startlingly bad debut on the sunday shows last miller told john think to say in control would be a substantial what does that are they declaring martial have they mastered all through the fall governing republicans told me that trump could be a fine because he would surround himself with all the smartest and most capable they were telling themselves they hoped it was and so did but that turns out to be the biggest trumpian illusion of them and not hard to see since trump had never run for even a seat on a condo board he have the kind of trusted political team that virtually every other president has counted for better or and since the party elite considered candidacy a fringy exercise almost until the moment he won the his campaign mostly attracted fringy and since trump never really planned to win the fall he had no real plan in place to upgrade his entourage with some of the more experienced so what we have now is basically a renegade campaign team trying to administer and reform the most complex government in human and they actually believe their rhetoric about how lame politicians about how useless experience about how business is so much harder than they thought the whole thing would basically run they literally threw transition plan into a trash hey has that garbage truck come anybody up for some dumpster the whole at last when trump and shinzo abe conferred on north korea in full view of dinner would never have happened if anyone sitting in that room had experience in crisis days of damaging all of which amounted to very could have been avoided by a modicum of trump finds for the first time in his political in a position where he just change the subject with one controversial and where he just ignore the calls for michael the days of being impervious to criticism are if trump wants his approval ratings to keep he should definitely stay the like the fonz in those classic episodes of he can admit he was wr wr wrong and then he can make it someone problem to fix the why force yourself to fire another senior aide every few weeks or like a slow better to replace poor priebus now and let christie deal with the unpleasantness of fixing one thing christie a chief of staff can elegantly reboot the system in a way a president a chief of staff can simply hire any of these and letting them not my job to offer trump advice on his and not like maybe true that all better off if

against trump is set to spearhead the largest march and with as many as people expected to unconventional spoke to hambley about how stat came together and what he and his fellow protesters are planning for the republican national what is stand together against an political action committee that we founded in with the goal of organizing and taking part in protests specifically against donald trump during the republican national not protesting republicans in or conservative protesting how are you planning to be taking part in events all week but mainly be organizing a rally and a march on thursday afternoon and when trump will accept the nomination and deliver his next week and the week be announcing several different partnerships with national and statewide found both because of our location and because we started organizing so in the middle of a lot of different discussions about protests at the hoping that to people will show up on this is the most divisive candidate i think there will be a huge and who is we started as a group of nurses and professionals in the cleveland none of us have ever protested a convention rarely have any of us been involved in a my wife and i both volunteer for campaigns every now and but every this is completely new territory for stand together against trump would not have existed if the republicans had nominated someone we would not have protested any other republican why protest trump in a lot of nurses and physicians in this country are of muslim of minority of immigrant anyone ever lived in a major city knows that there are muslim doctors saving lives every but we think a point lost on trump when he speaks of immigrants and muslims as a monolithic bloc of whatever he wants them to be on that given and so we decided to get together to voice our opposition to someone who has used sexism and overt discrimination not just in an accidental way but as a core message of his we want to make sure there is a voice in cleveland that is better than we are as independents and democrats above the level of we are above the wedge politics that trump how did stat get three of us were chief residents at case western university last

and were doing incredible work right here in not just providing which they obviously but some of the best researchers in our program have muslim backgrounds as during those initial we decided that at times when trump was in cleveland when he was near us we felt compelled to do something more than passively we felt like it was our moral responsibility to organize an active response to you first protested when trump came to cleveland in before the ohio the group of physicians and nurses that a part we had maybe or we made up shirts that said doctors save lives in a couple of us felt compelled to go inside and interrupt the the rest were protesting who went me and one of the other physicians in our we started the but once you shout kind of drowned it was us versus trump the chanting started and we were escorted but then a funny thing one of the security guards who told us that his father had recently had a heart attack and his heart surgeon was a we we protest for that one day and be done with but in the weeks after the ohio we were shocked to see that trump was actually going to become the republican nominee that he was going to begin his general election campaign in our so we

million americans are out of the labor over million people are now living in and over million americans are on food more than in people in their prime working years are not we have the worst financial recovery in in the last the past administration has put on more new debt than nearly all other presidents lost more than of our manufacturing jobs since nafta was and lost factories since china joined the world trade organization in our trade deficit in goods with the world last year was nearly billion and we have inherited a series of tragic foreign policy solving and so many other pressing will require us to work past the differences of it will require us to tap into the american spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied but to accomplish our goals at home and we must restart the engine of the american economy making it easier for companies to do business in the united and much harder for companies to right american companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the my economic team is developing historic tax reform that will reduce the tax rate on our companies so they can compete and thrive anywhere and with at the same we will provide massive tax relief for the middle we must create a level playing field for american companies and president donald trump pauses during an address to a joint session of the congress on february in the house chamber of the capitol in first address to congress focused on national tax and regulatory the and jim lo scalzo more when we ship products out of many other countries make us pay very high tariffs and taxes but when foreign companies ship their products into we charge them almost i just met with officials and workers from a great american in they proudly displayed five of their magnificent made in the on the front lawn of the white at our i asked how are you how is they said that i asked them further how they are doing with other mainly international they told me without even complaining because they have been mistreated for so long that they have become used to it that it is very hard to do business with other countries because they tax our goods at such a high they said that in one case another country taxed their motorcycles at they even asking for but i i believe strongly in free trade but it also has to be fair the first republican abraham warned that the of the protective policy by the american government produce want and ruin among our lincoln was right and it is time we heeded his i am not going to let america and its great companies and be taken advantage of i am going to bring back millions of protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal the outdated system depresses wages for our poorest and puts great pressure on nations around the like australia and many others have a immigration it is a basic principle that those seeking to enter a country ought to be able to support themselves in we do not enforce this straining the very public resources that our poorest citizens rely according to the national academy of our current immigration system costs taxpayers many billions of dollars a switching away from this current system of and instead adopting a will have many it will save countless raise and help struggling families including immigrant families enter the middle i believe that real and positive immigration reform is as long as we focus on the following to improve jobs and wages for to strengthen our and to restore respect for our if we are guided by the of american citizens then i believe republicans and democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for another republican dwight initiated the last truly great national infrastructure program the building of the interstate highway the time has come for a new program of national america has spent approximately six trillion dollars in the middle all this while our infrastructure at home is with this six trillion dollars we could have rebuilt our country and maybe even three times if we had people who had the ability to to launch our national i will be asking the congress to approve legislation that produces a trillion investment in the infrastructure of the united states financed through both public and private capital creating millions of new this effort will be guided by two core buy and hire i am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare with reforms that expand increase lower and at the same provide better mandating every american to buy health insurance was never the right solution for the way to make health insurance available to everyone is to lower the cost of health and that is what we will obamacare premiums nationwide have increased by double and triple as an arizona went up percent last year governor matt bevin of kentucky just said obamacare is failing in his state it is unsustainable and one third of counties have only one insurer on the exchanges leaving many americans with no choice at remember when you were told that you could keep your and keep your we now know that all of those promises have been obamacare is collapsing and we must act decisively to protect all action is not a choice it is a president donald trump addresses a joint session of the congress on february in the house chamber of the capitol in jim lo scalzo more so i am calling on all democrats and republicans in the congress to work with us to save americans from this imploding obamacare here are the principles that should guide the congress as we move to create a better healthcare system for all we should ensure that americans with conditions have access to and that we have a stable transition for americans currently enrolled in the healthcare we should help americans purchase their own through the use of tax credits and expanded health savings accounts but it must be the plan they not the plan forced on them by the we should give our great state governors the resources and flexibility they need with medicaid to make sure no one is left we should implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs and bring them down the time has come to give americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across state lines creating a truly competitive national marketplace that will bring cost way down and provide far better everything that is broken in our country can be every problem can be and every hurting family can find and our citizens deserve and so much more so why not join forces to finally get it on this and so many other democrats and republicans should get together and unite for the good of our and for the good of the american my administration wants to work with members in both parties to make childcare accessible and to help ensure new parents have paid family to invest in and to promote clean air

platform for managing voter contacts which is viewed by many as a interface than on offer from the rnc is becoming increasingly popular among republican the rnc is now openly that the political operation is trying to control the republican master voter and to gain influence over some even say control of the think very dangerous and wrong to allow a group of very individuals who have no accountability to anyone to have control over who gets access to the data why and said katie the chief of the fight between the chairman and the political operatives affiliated with charles and david

political freedom which oversees views the issue as one of koch aides several of whom used to work at the rnc want to win and in their view the rnc has inherent challenges to helping the party party committee fundraising is severely limited by federal election while maintaining and enriching a database is michael president of emphasized in an email that his firm is a company that provides technology and analytical services to dozens of campaigns and other organizations that promote free market clients own their own data and are free to share it as they see we believe that a robust marketplace of political technology and data is a healthy way to advance past the single monopoly model that has failed the republican party in recent presidential palmer some in the republican party agree with point of believing the issue of allegiance to be others in the even some in highly consequential think priebus and the rnc are crying senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and house speaker john boehner have been reluctant to conclude that represents a threat to the and the problem for the rnc is that while it has political data going back roughly two you need more than just data in order to be the data hub for a political and that is where the rnc has fallen its data is and it has continued to enrich it and even to help campaigns and key battleground states build sophisticated voter universes through the work last year of a company called but campaigns need to use not just have it on the can have all the data in the but if you use it to go engage not worth that said mike vice president at a nonpartisan company that specializes in building to talk to volunteers and voters through social media and targeted this is where companies like as well as companies like have gained an in the rnc promised to build a system called but so far beacon is being used by only a small handful of state walsh about state parties are still using the rnc dashboard that beacon was built to gop data which was designed a few years ago by a company called fls the most common complaint from those who do not like data center is that it is not easy for the average volunteer or field staffer to the rnc now acknowledges that it was slow to respond to the rise of was a time when the party itself had not made the investments it needed to make and had rested on its said one source who had firsthand knowledge of the data rnc chief strategist sean spicer and walsh also said the rnc was not competitive enough with over the past few years in giving campaigns and state parties tools to use the for as long as anyone could the rnc had dispensed voter information to campaigns and state parties like a upon in modern operatives want to manipulate the data were calling to get access to data and were being told just call us and send you a spicer the source with firsthand knowledge of the operations said that koch world groups saw an opportunity where they were filling a after the and others gained market share in republican politics because the rnc spent much of deliberating over what it planned to and state parties and campaigns who wanted to start recruiting volunteers and building a universe of target voters needed a system to work with in was developed with user experience in it built up an enriched voter file as time went on and its client list providing more like some of the most successful tech from facebook to it built an audience first and then expanded its during the a number of senate campaigns used said it was campaigns in this cycle the group says eight senate campaigns are using its including those of two of the most vulnerable republican senators up for reelection in rob portman and kelly ayotte not how many of those campaigns used for most or all of their voter among the gop presidential primary rand paul and lindsey graham are using data services while former florida jeb bush and marco rubio are building their own voter former rnc chief technology officer andy barkett is a key player in the bush and his performance will be closely since he was charged with building beacon at the barkett has told contemporaries that he was undermined at the rnc by fls connect and other private companies who want to lose business from the the rnc has signed agreements with most of the candidates or likely and the rnc as it did in is trying to discourage campaigns and state parties from signing up with according to numerous conversations with people who have knowledge of such this was a tactic that irritated many people in but the new chief of appears to be setting a different tone that admits past shortcomings and focuses on the philosophical argument that the data should be housed at a party not at a private business the rnc is now confronting the kochs more openly than by having walsh speak on the record for this article and by making other key players available for their decision to take their dispute with public shows the level of alarm inside the rnc at the growing clout of the koch political they have concluded that the koch political machine wants to replace them and to essentially become a shadow pretty clear that they want to work with the party but want to supplant the source close to the rnc adding to the in january poached the chief digital chuck who had played a senior role within the party digital operation in and departure was a surprise to the and his decision to work for a direct rival was not in the suite of offices that house the top there was talk of having him escorted by security from the though that did not the head of said that his organization simply wants to be helpful to the republican party at have repeatedly expressed a willingness in working with the and we will continue to work with any organizations interested in advancing free markets and a free he but spicer said that is trying to marginalize datatrust the private sector arm by offering to share information only with the rnc and not in other wants to change the terms of the agreement from last rather than resign the cutting datatrust out of the picture would possibly cement as the main platform provider to operatives in the field doing voter as long as and the rnc worked both entities would receive the same data from operatives and volunteers in the field knocking on doors and making but if achieved dominance as the user platform of choice for republican and if its relationship with the rnc ever went south and the kochs would continue to get the bulk of ongoing fresh data while the rnc would have to scramble and might find itself well behind the fear at the rnc is that this would give a private business empire the master voter file in republican and the main committee would be reduced to that of playing a bit the rnc is currently telling state parties and campaigns that it is updating gop data center to make it more walsh said this would be ready in three to four critics of the data say that it is in serious financial and multiple sources from koch world to a major party committee to a source intimate with republican congressional leadership said that priebus asked mcconnell and boehner to have their campaign committees give million each to datatrust to help with paying off both leaders were these sources believing a committee should be able to raise that kind of money from a few donors rather than having money from the committees which is raised in much smaller amounts and harder to come by a source close to the republican congressional leadership said that datatrust barely existed for the last two because of its inability to raise in the rnc transferred million to rnc and datatrust officials characterized this transfer as routine business and denied that datatrust has had any fundraising or debt mcconnell and according to the congressional do not share concern that the koch brothers could own the master voter file in any way that held the party it would not be difficult as it for the gop to reassemble its own file and its own voter contact apps if the partnership with dissolved for some the source needs to take a deep breath on this the rnc chief of had a different version of she said there was a meeting held last year where datatrust president john destefano updated a room full of republicans on the latest business plan for his organization and that one idea discussed was to have the national republican senatorial committee and the national republican congressional committee contract directly with datatrust as a show of support for the of top bullet points is gaining market share and how do we publicly show that the federal party committees are behind the datatrust walsh was out of prior to the nrsc and nrcc had contributed million each to the rnc for data infrastructure and walsh said that prior model was interpreted by some to be what destefano and others were she was no dollar no means did that imply a million walsh the result of all this infighting is that for the republican campaigns and even state parties are balkanized between different approaches on which database to use and how to use the is the superior user platform with a rapidly growing adoption rate among while the data is available to all who want it and is the de facto database for rnc field personnel who are placed in key datatrust has an exclusive agreement to swap data with the rnc and has a client relationship with outside groups such as american crossroads and the american action even some state parties have chosen to use instead or in addition the system in their used a we really get into the datatrust said joe executive director of the maryland republican which helped get larry hogan elected in a deep blue state last one of the states rnc prioritizing for getting that data up to time i sent a voter it took them three weeks to cluster updating our data as quick as other in another key battleground the state party is using nationbuilder for some of its needs and is also getting some predictive models from but florida is one of the clearest examples that there is a belief among some in republican politics that the data they glean in the field should go back to the republican national they are going out of their way to make sure that any information they collect using nationbuilder goes back to and while they are using some of the they are intentionally not using the koch tools for voter because they want to use the data choices are driven in large part by a belief that the rnc is the more appropriate repository for political data than the according to a source with knowledge of the state other state parties are using the voter file but have built their own dashboards to use instead of fls data the clearest indication that for those who have the time and the user interface of choice has not been as good as some would like it to the michigan republican party last cycle spent between and million to build its own gop hired a close friend of john venture capitalist mark to build a system for both systems bypassed the fls connect product and accessed the file at datatrust one republican data operative who worked in florida during the election said that because fls data center is a good user rnc get enough have really good and making it really easy for people who know what to do with it to get at he the challenge for most state parties and campaigns is that they have the money or the expertise to build their own dashboard systems with which to access the the relevance of these questions to who wins and loses elections is often in a wave midterm election like it may be but in a presidential when the presidency can be decided in one or two swing or in a closely contested senate or congressional a superior data and technology operation can be an important many republicans believe that having a presidential nominee will solve most of the problems with infighting over data and bring coherence and in president obama insisted that democrats get onboard with a company called ngp van and use their votebuilder system which is built on top of the master voter file housed at the democratic national committee to interact with building a more concerted system of inputs into one voter but it could be that the gop may not get on the same page until there is an incumbent republican president who has the time and money before a reelection campaign to insist that the party row in the same an earlier version of this story reported that

when he decided to get behind donald trump in exchange for dibs on an especially comfortable chaise longue at next to the kinds of craven endorsements seeing christie might be in line for a profile in courage just jeb bush followed his pal lindsey graham by coming out in support of ted although apparently he think he could get through an actual announcement without falling to his knees and rending his clothes in so he released a tepid statement bush described cruz as a principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to by which he meant that cruz is not trump and all there is to this followed the bizarre contortions of mitt whose endorsement strategy has been so convoluted that suggest getting a blank ncaa bracket if you really want to keep all of which gets to why this movement among governing republicans might more aptly be called not to say i understand the strategy because i the singular goal is to keep trump from amassing the delegates he needs to clinch the thus hurtling the party into an open convention for the first time in bush has apparently decided that this can happen only if a even though he almost certainly believes that john kasich is the only candidate left who has any business being in the oval so he and other leading republicans are going to close ranks around cruz and hope they can get control of the process once the voters are finished making a holy mess of interesting that jeb has not been joined in this cause by his brother george who seems to have decided that he would sooner paint presidential portrait himself than endorse the fellow texan who once worked for that ought to tell you strategy is more like many of you who probably also assumed you were watching an old rerun on daytime tv until you realized that darrin had just way too many i watched speech attacking trump a few weeks and i have to say i was where trump was vulgar and romney was cutting and reminding us that titans of business hawk bad steaks in it seemed possible that in his advancing had at last found within himself some hidden reserve of political but no turns out some distant race of extraterrestrials had actually snatched body for a day so they could deliver a message about the grave danger of a trump and when they were done they dropped the old romney right back into our romney endorsed kasich in noting that he was the guy with a real track but then he turned around and announced he was voting for cruz in utah anyway although he actually endorsing just so nobody gets if you step back for a you can see why romney might have some interest in getting to a convention with the delegates divided as many ways as mitt made his fortune as the consummate turnaround guy the bloodless analyst who swoops into a company in crisis and fires all the incompetent what is the republican party now if not an organization in if you were why you look at the disaster looming and recognize a ripe takeover but the problem for bush and romney and the whole thing you win campaigns solely by running against somebody you have to give voters something or someone that they can be for of was essential flaw as a nominee four years he effectively ran as the avoiding anything that could have been misconstrued for a declarative worldview or he thought it was enough to not be barack obama and not be and he was pretty much how ran his campaign this first he was the and then he was the the ubiquitous exclamation point hinted at the hole in his which is that in the end he offered nothing for anyone to be genuinely enthusiastic almost never enough in which is why governing republicans will almost certainly end up ruing their missed as written before there was a in the week before the new hampshire when marco having surged out of the iowa seemed poised to emerge as the hopeful candidate of the governing but then christie dismantled rubio on the debate and the field winnow as it otherwise would and the leaders continued to watch and chance there was probably even a brief right after new when republican governors and lawmakers could have swung behind easily finished second in the and who had the strongest governing record and approval ratings of anybody in the but there the party elite cowered and they were afraid to get on the wrong side of the trump worried about being embarrassed if they made the wrong instead of shoring up a candidate they could enthusiastically be they continued to define themselves by the campaigns they were offering support only when it was already clear which way the voters were sheer spinelessness no one beats rick who declined to endorse anyone until the day after his when he boldly threw his weight behind the guy who had won by almost even at this late you have scott erstwhile candidate and governor of refusing to endorse a candidate in the april primary although he hinted he would probably back cruz at a moment of maybe that means discovered a time because almost certainly too late now to derail so if going down at least go down with some at least stand up for a candidate you think can actually win and actually as opposed to a guy we all know you the bottom line is that you beat trump by underscoring the central theme of his ignoble campaign which is exactly what all this strategic endorsing is bound to trump has gotten to where he is by savaging the republican establishment as

wallowing in never before seen a streak like that in american not a in every some large segment of voters hoped they were getting systemic rather than more old ideology and rigid and in every presidents and their parties misinterpreted their or invented one that really bill clinton won on the promise of a less dogmatic then immediately veered taking up fights on social issues and staking his capital on a massive and bureaucratic health care george bush vowed to the in washington which he by making it even more jarring and barack obama ran on the implicit promise of a generational but

the and usually with the aid of some extenuating clinton with an assist from a third bush after a obama in response to an economic but once you get the tendency is to tell yourself that there was more to it than that that people were responding not just to your outsider appeal but to the brilliance of your governing ideas even if you necessarily share many of them during the emboldened congressional leaders line up to tell you that you have a political blue that the people have that they cry out for ideological in mostly just crying and the last thing they want is more extremist more partisan paralysis and endless which brings us back like most things these days to the subject of you could make a reasonable i that trump is fundamentally a different he did tell people exactly what he intended to in very concrete terms build a ban a bunch of muslim withdraw from trade deals and resort to trump promised an reactionary brand of and nothing done in this first month has failed

thought he lacked the temperament for the exit polls are but they that what this means is that some significant segment of trump voters were essentially we want crazy and but we just bear the same old cast and so give you a these are the voters who most wanted to the of political who decry the constant pettiness and the influence of big money over two parties stuck in perpetual what has trump given them to this a cabinet plucked from goldman sachs and the an endless stream of childish a sharply partisan agenda that you get used to i get what trump is you do what works for you until it this is the approach that got him through the primaries none of us thought win and into the white house after all the experts had written him we keep saying you get by on such a divisive and he does he must think just like the ratings for you have to win over everybody with a or even half of you just need to have more diehard viewers than but the math changes when you can win a nomination with percent of the vote firmly behind if the field is crowded you can even win a general election that if another chunk of voters is desperate enough to give you a in the white a percent approval rating is opponents

supreme court justice clarence thomas and his former subordinate anita who accused him of sexual harassment in testimony at his confirmation hearing in the similarities are many both women reluctantly came forward late in the confirmation accusing a powerful man of sexual misconduct in lurid both men denied the both women were met with vehement pushback from republican supporters of the but there is another cited less whose nomination brought accusation and and whose story is just as but in different ways douglas nominated to the supreme court by ronald reagan in like he was accused of breaking the law decades as a college student during the and he had smoked past is always a taken the outcomes of both the ginsburg and thomas nominations tell us a lot about where we stand the questions asked and not completely answered back then reflect how we have changed as a and how we have the first question in all three cases is he do learning that national public nina totenberg was about to break the ginsburg quickly admitted that he had smoked then withdrew his name nine days after he was thomas vehemently insisted on his calling the hearings lynching for uppity and has denied the issuing an is a completely false i have never done anything like what the accuser describes to her or to is that the predictive the guy who confesses get to be a supreme court whereas the ones who assert innocence are things have changed since the thomas starting with the very fact of those the way the senate judiciary committee treated hill grilling her as though she were on refusing to allow the testimony of a second woman with a similar story to tell resulted in a voter backlash in the election that tripled the number of women in the senate and sent a record number of women to the critics said that the entirely male committee was not trying to find the but rather trying to protect the a charge that lawyer is echoing debra katz told abc news that although ford is to she is not willing be part of this bloodletting that happens in debra the attorney for brett christine blasey says her client is willing to speak out reuters more republicans in congress have been that going to fight this tooth and that going to grill katz hardly an effort to get into a fair and thorough investigation of what has if really trying to get at the the hearings should not be used to weaponize

would be that altered landscape would suggest that these latest charges would have far more traction than did in yes and dozens of men have lost their campaigns and reputations after being accused of varying levels of sexual misconduct in the past one stark and telling is the president of the united who has been accused of similar behavior by at least the common denominator for those who pay a price is the existence of a parade of contemporaneous accounts and payments in exchange for in most of the cases where entertainers and politicians have faced there has been at least one of the in the case of the for whom all those elements of proof is there such proof in the kavanaugh clearly not the kind we have begun to demand in this technological age where we assume that all encounters must have left some electronic but in her confidential letter to the ford names a potential witness another teenager she says was in the room when kavanaugh allegedly pinned her down and attempted to remove her that man has identified himself as mark a classmate of at georgetown preparatory school who told the weekly just absolutely i never saw brett act that mother in has pointed to two separate memoirs written by both of which describe his high school days as filled with blackout writer stephanie mencimer his memory of those days may not be entirely will this count as one way or particularly with as a to answer that question requires first tackling even if should it what weight should be given to a even a from years where ginsburg comes at the his defenders called his marijuana use youthful stressing that it happened decades but against the message of the times a president who gave speeches condemning the culture for its and irresponsible attitude toward drug and a first lady whose slogan was say it was enough to derail even the idea that everybody does it help two presidential candidates at the al and former arizona bruce made similar as did newt then a georgia and none of them paid a political anita a university of oklahoma law who testified that she was sexually harassed by clarence more so the message of the ginsburg derailment is that as a we have decided that the child is the measure of the and some supreme court for require such unimpeachable proof of character that even missteps still and as inability to advance to the court is the best answer to the argument that no one should be punished for however appalling or that happened so long of course that would imply philosophical underpinnings that lead to and the ginsburg along with the thomas hearings and the current kavanaugh illustrate exactly the opposite of as a we have not yet resolved the question of how responsible any one of us is for our it is a question raised not only by supreme court hearings but also by the role and purpose of the rights of former felons the right to and whether minors can be sentenced to life without rather than a broad social consensus on where the line

his drug use made him unfit for the but because it made his nomination untenable for the sitting thomas was approved in part because some senators feared being accused of racism by rejecting a black man more than the consequences of being accused of sexism by disbelieving a allegations of and whether he is confirmed to the court will probably have little to do with what he did or do in high it will not depend on whether senators believe him or his or whether they agree that an youthful behavior should or should not be held against him or it will be about each calculations most particularly those of lisa and susan of the political cost of believing either of those which is more getting this conservative seat on the court or risking voter reprisal in which lights up the switchboard the

be the craziest presidential conventions in what you need to know today inside the brewing democratic convention battle over israel could the man aspiring to become first jewish president spark a war at the democratic convention over last democratic national committee chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz announced that she had allowed bernie sanders to pick five members of the platform drafting committee only one fewer than likely nominee hillary the dnc chair chooses the committee herself consultation with the white house or the winning for the upcoming wasserman schultz struck a deal with both campaigns to this the most representative and inclusive process in by awarding sanders more power over the platform than any previous at the we noted how this unprecedented arrangement could cause some friction in philadelphia with sanders openly planning to push for planks and positions that clinton disagree a federal minimum a tax on carbon emissions to curb climate a hard asset cap on the big banks would force them to shrink a health care system and public colleges and on each of these sanders should have enough delegates behind him to start a public spat on the convention if he so but since one issue in particular has emerged as the most likely to disrupt the proceedings and divide the party in the city of brotherly the democratic staunch and support for the government of the first sign of coming conflict was platform cornel the public and james the president of the arab american both told the new york times last week that they oppose of the west bank and believe democrats feel the same a third sanders keith ellison of is a muslim who has long spoken out in favor of palestinian for palestinians cannot be attained without the lifting of the west declared accusing israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu of and vowing to battle for a platform that would elevate plight of an occupied views represent a sharp break with previous which called in and for negotiations designed to produce a and peace that would to regional stability and help sustain identity as a jewish and democratic it seemed as if platform drafters might play in an interview last week with the chicago luis gutierrez of illinois who was then on his way to the west bank and where he would meet with palestinian authority palestinian members of the israeli knesset and palestinian students and businessmen revealed he was open to a platform that more clearly the the the aspirations of the palestinian people and their hope for justice and for peace and continue reading added the clinton think we can do but other clintonites were quick to push am sure the democratic party platform will reflect strong support for said clinton appointee wendy sherman a former top state department views in support of security and an unbreakable bond between the united states and israel are senior foreign policy jake seconded arguing that views on israel and the relationship are and that delegates will work to ensure that the party platform reflects in major address in san diego the candidate herself insisted that security is and rebuked donald trump for saying that he would on the in some the whole democratic debate over israel boils down to platforms are aspirational they bind a both clinton and sanders support right to exist in peace and and both favor the eventual establishment of a palestinian unlike neither candidate backs the divestment and sanctions movement and sanders is reportedly to lobby for the inclusion of contentious terms such as or settlement yet clear that who has repeatedly called for a approach to the picked zogby and ellison for a his goal is likely to send a message and to get some concessions from clinton in at the democratic convention in party leaders afraid of offending jewish donors and swing voters and rewarding republicans with a attack ad called for a floor vote to reinstate previously removed by the platform that described jerusalem as the capital of after three voice the and seemed evenly matched but convention chairman antonio villaraigosa called it for the he was roundly booed as a the new york times called it minor that provided unruly start to an evening meant to showcase attacks on mitt romney by former president bill clinton and the incident demonstrated two that establishment democrats like clinton are terrified of tinkering with the israel lest lose votes in and that liberals more of whom sympathize with palestine than according to an april pew research center poll are now increasingly willing to push any amendment that fails on a majority vote during the full platform committee meeting can still be brought to the convention floor as a if percent of the committee supports it which should be an easy bar for the vermont senator to if team were to force an israel vote on national what may follow be minor and the papers would probably use stronger words than to describe people are jittery about sanders going the as one close to the platform told the jerusalem post the platform to be a practical document that hurt the chances of the nominee come it has to do no and the most words and best intentions mean nothing if they get donald trump in the this may be what sanders is counting clinton getting so skittish about bernie her on israel that she agrees to make other platform concessions to prevent on the minimum on on anything never gonna happen what the search for a trump alternative is really about an occasional unconventional series exploring the latest news about the ongoing shadow to nominate a conservative candidate and why the effort is doomed to what are weekly standard editor bill kristol really trying to accomplish by drafting conservative lawyer david french to run to the right of donald trump as an independent presidential candidate in the not win the white says yahoo news national political columnist matt in his latest column bai points out a few problems with potential the logistical hurdles to an independent no matter who lends his name to are probably insurmountable at this a alternative with access to ballot lines virtually everywhere already and gary the libertarian party and then the book french wrote with his in which they describe the rules they devised together while he was stationed in that she allowed to have phone conversations with other or to have email exchanges with men about politics or any other or to use the kind of social media where a man might contact you can really see how french is well positioned to peel off that large segment of women voters who like hillary clinton but who stomach blatant bai but the most interesting part of piece is when he delves into what he believes to be real motives and explains what they say about the larger culture of conservatism in what a campaign by french or some other socially republican might actually it might siphon just enough votes in just enough states to ensure clinton a truth be probably what kristol and a lot of other republican insiders are hoping for at this not because they think clinton will be a good or because they think trump would raze the monuments and suspend habeas because if trump the republican establishment in washington will lose its entire reason for for more or less years governing republicans like kristol was once chief of staff for vice president dan have positioned themselves essentially as professional for all that increasingly furious conservative whipped up by antigovernment have been sending ever more extreme leaders to where inevitably they meet up against the immovable reality of budgets and and the main job of the advisers and lobbyists we loosely refer to as the republican establishment has been to navigate the divide between these two worlds to somehow tutor and moderate the elected leaders who arrive in washington raging against the machine while figuring out how to exploit the grassroots intensity they need for the next the main role has been to make governance look like and vice except that trump really seem interested in being tutored or moderated or not in any way that lasts for longer than the next news he may not even govern as a if trump somehow wins as written i find this so the whole professional apparatus of the republican party will as likely as not become replaced by the geniuses who ran trump university and the taj game i doubt for a second that kristol sees trump as a genuine threat to the but i also think rather endure four or even eight years of another clinton than a nominally

nevada convention last month started offering sanders advice about how to run the final leg of his asked if the vermont senator should bow out after california primary on june boxer not saying when he steps she not the the issue is how he steps what is his whether he decides after california to look at the numbers or he waits for awhile whatever he does is fine with but the way he conducts what he

needed a superstar to take on that and she stepped up and did so to the role model for bringing us and i hope bernie will reflect upon what do you is advice or is she just delivering clinton campaign

enter the general election season with some serious structural having analyzed trends from the past six elections and factored in demographic third way the leading centrist democratic concluded that clinton starts the campaign virtually assured of electoral votes more than trump and just short of a and as probably no candidate has ever overcome or even tried to overcome the kind of ugly impressions trump has made on women and minority voters to this next to clinton polls like santa but if history is any clinton comes to the campaign with a structural dis and one that be it may explain why she seem to put bernie sanders away and why the outcome in november is hardly gone through this history once or twice but it bears in congress passed the which said no one could be elected to the presidency more than in the years since the last state ratified that amendment comprising and six elections following an presidency only one nominee has managed to win a third consecutive term for his that was george who overcame a deficit late in the thanks in part to one of the most ineffectual democratic campaigns in before you start with i al gore actually and in an alternate universe somewhere they are building his monument on the tidal basin in a climate that on four degrees cooler than the one we but for purposes of this just live in the here and the important question is why proved so difficult for either side to win third the most common explanation has to do with voter told that voters get sick of having one party in office for eight and so the pendulum swings i find this theory especially met an awful lot of voters over the and rarely have i heard anyone make the case that it was time for the other party to get a it seems to me voters focus a lot more on the candidates themselves than on the parties they and this may get to the truer cause of the if you look back at elections over the past half what you find is that the parties of incumbents almost always nominate the candidate who is nominally next in of the six candidates who have sought third terms since five had previously served as either president or vice president was gerald who ran for election in after having held the job for the outlier was john like had been the in the last open and who ran in a year when the incumbent vice president was sitting it not hard to see how this a president has both the time and the muscle to set up someone who will carry on his legacy while effectively boxing out and because presidents almost always lose congressional seats and governorships in an presidency tends to decimate the ranks of younger successors from outside the in other by the time a president gets done slogging his way through the peaks and troughs of eight years on the there a lot of exciting alternatives to whichever former rival or loyal has been patiently waiting on the edge of the the problem is that the hubert richard nixon in is almost never as politically gifted as the president he has if he he have ended up to begin and that inferiority is only magnified by a dilemma that even the best politicians would find damn near impossible to the has to be loyal without being embody the future while representing the he has to somehow embrace continuity while at the same time putting distance between himself and the inevitable disappointment a president leaves the always has more trouble than he should unifying the because the fissures that were suppressed through eight years of a presidency in the cause of staving off the opposition rise to the the end of every presidency is something like the fall of with disparate factions and emotions finally clinton in loyal soldier thereafter is the prototypical thanks to a couple of dreadful midterm election had to contend only with a protest candidate who just recently joined the and even then she been able to excite enough of her own base to lock down the nomination by had to lash herself tightly to the

especially among next gig might be called biggest loser of all but the thing about run the most least substantive and crassest campaign in and national polls show him trailing clinton by with six months yet to think about in presidential points can fall away faster than carly fiorina on a riser and while impressions at this point in a campaign are normally hard to what we know about trump the big to my mind is whether the larger electorate will ultimately judge him by the standards of a politician like primary as a celebrity politicians allowed to simply shrug off their records and respawn the finely attuned to any sign of have but entertainers reinvent and redeem themselves all the what gossipy magazines exist and trump is closer to inhabiting this realm than any candidate ever expect

president managed to enrage britons by blaming the muslim mayor of london for severely damage his own supreme court case for a travel ban and plunge america into a confusing diplomatic crisis with a critical ally in the persian and that only got us to and now pressure is not least among his own for trump to get off social the consensus argument is that a president just sit around venting characters at a without having his statements vetted by lawyers and the way always trump rebuffed this argument in an angry directed at his favorite fake msm is working so hard trying to get me not to use social he blurted this hate that i can get the honest and unfiltered message i certainly get the fear about where twitter feed might ultimately the world right now and especially the arab world feels like a leaky gas one reckless static charge can send the whole thing into but i help thinking that the president is actually if one thing for which trump deserves the way thoroughly updated the office in the space of a few restoring its power to command the conversation in the age after twitter is exactly the right medium for the modern just that trump continues to prove himself the wrong man for the you may recall that after barack obama won the white house in there was all this talk of technological obama was supposed to be the first century personally connected to the and yet obama and his communications aides failed to adapt the presidency to the digital mostly they complained a lot about how fractured the news environment and how hard it was to break through the they made obama marginally more accessible by putting him on late night tv shows or in online comedy but not accessible in a way that spoke to the emerging demand for a more less olympian kind of in fairness to he arrived in office at a kind of before social media had reached its critical when i first wrote about twitter and its looming effect on in this essay only a handful of politicians and journalists regarded it as anything more than a twitter turn out to be just the latest political i it may just be the worst thing to happen to politics and its attending media since a couple of geniuses at cnn dreamed up back in the i was both right and i twitter did end up reinforcing some of the worst trends in american politics destructive and hateful ever more brevity and but it also did something promising and long it opened a portal through which more adventurous leaders could speak directly and spontaneously to it shattered the hardened artifice of the television which had made politicians ever more and voters ever more it always takes time for new kinds of communication to permeate the calvin coolidge was the first president to speak on but it until franklin roosevelt and his fireside a decade that broadcast became an indispensable tool of the harry truman was the first president to deliver a televised in but what we really remember is that debate between richard nixon and john after even nixon understood that the demands of the presidency now included pancake and so history will remember that while obama broke new ground by tweeting a bunch of anodyne statements that influenced trump was the guy who first tapped the massive potential of the new thirsty for attention and inclined toward the he was perfectly cast for the managed in these opening months to restore the bully to the bully dictating his own coverage and dominating the news in a way aides would have sworn was no longer not just that making policy in a or stirring up that makes his presence on social media so that his eruptions are so demonstrably you can actually picture trump sitting at in the thumbs poised on the anger seething through his mind whirring with precisely because he lawyered or vetted that his feed can send the entire media world scrambling for a he publicly vents emotions in an age when personal testimonial is a form of mass nothing inherently wrong in much right with a president reaching voters in this kind of authentic if trump had an actual governing agenda he his mastery of social media would exponentially amplify the the real problem for trump and for his coterie of and maybe for the rest of too is that social media also tends to open a pretty clear window into who you really if sardonic or that comes across in the way you share online and respond to if insecure or just plain angry at the if lost or if possessed of any empathy all of in the becomes pretty over and what twitter tells us about what his lawyers and allies would really like to obscure

enormous latitude by creating the notion of the justices wrote that while woman has a right to choose to terminate or continue her pregnancy before it does not at all follow that the state is

of when you look at the first thing that dictators do is shut down the mccain stopped short of calling trump not saying that president trump is trying to be a the senator just saying we need to learn

citizen aware of going time was when the eighth was known as a progressive harry blackmun of minnesota sat on its bench before being appointed to the supreme court richard in where he went on to author the roe wade decision that legalized abortion supreme court justice harry blackmun more in more recent the court has moved to the by the time barack obama took there were but two clinton appointees left alongside seven appointed by george and the rest by george bush and ronald the party of the president who appoints a judge is far from a perfect predictor of how that judge will but it is seen as crude says carl a professor of constitutional law at the university of richmond and an expert on the federal court and this particular group of mostly republican appointees had a reputation for being both conservative only perhaps to the fifth circuit in and somewhat in july for the eighth circuit ruled on a north dakota which banned abortions after a heartbeat is which for many women is

criticizing the supreme court should its they asserting that the of how far into a pregnancy to prohibit abortion better left to the states which might find their interest in protecting unborn children better served by a more consistent and certain marker than fetal heartbeat would be one logical they a direct refutation of it was arguably a political and it came at a time when the whole of the judicial appointment process was becoming more overtly during the last two years of the obama for the republican majority in the senate dramatically slowed the confirmation of that what got the most attention was the refusal to consider nomination of merrick garland to fill the supreme court seat left empty when antonin scalia but there were similar skirmishes over lower level in eight obama nominees were seated on the federal courts of in just the first year of the trump administration the senate approved nominations to the circuit one of successful appointments was to the eighth circuit

leaving three seats for the new administration to the arkansas law effectively banning medical abortions predates the most recent republican tilt on the eighth but the arkansas legislature was already a decidedly conservative one by when it voted to prohibit any clinic in that state from providing the two pills used to induce early unless the clinic had a contract with a doctor with hospital admitting a planned parenthood rally at the state capitol in in ilana more planned parenthood sought an injunction against the law in district saying that it had contacted every doctor in the state and none would agree to serve in such a the result would be to close two of the three existing arkansas clinics the two that offered only medication abortions effectively leaving surgical abortion at the remaining clinic in little rock as the only option for arkansas a situation the plaintiffs described as an undue the case planned parenthood the supreme court established the standard to evaluate the restrictions states might place on the district court judge granted the agreeing that the new restrictions were not medically the district attorneys of two arkansas counties appealed that decision to the eighth where a panel unanimously vacated the their opinion held that the district court judge had failed to enumerate how many women would be harmed by the in other the eighth circuit ruled that the restrictions were the next stop was the supreme by this that court had already ruled on a seemingly similar in june in whole health the justices struck down a texas law that would have among other that abortion clinic doctors have hospital admitting legal observers say that on its the decision in that case should have applied to the arkansas law as by siding with the plaintiffs in the eighth in coordination with the arkansas appeared to be engaged in some legal strategy is to serve up a diet of wrote former journalist linda greenhouse who now teaches at yale law school and writes books about the supreme in a new york times days before the supreme court was expected to decide whether to hear the arkansas she called the eighth decision a act of judicial in that it refused apply the supreme most recent abortion precedent to a situation that is all but law is she of the arkansas the supreme next as the arkansas law was making its way to the supreme the eighth circuit was

of and clerking for supreme court justice clarence the first to be stras was the last to be confirmed by the senate mostly because that body spent months deciding whether to abandon protocol in order to get him for generations it was a senate practice that a nomination to a federal court would not proceed without the blessing of both senators from the home a process known as because the senators literally send a blue form to the judiciary committee indicating their early then al franken refused to return his blue his reasons were he and fellow minnesota democrat amy klobuchar had not been before the nomination was he in he was concerned that the federalist a conservative group created to push for a more conservative was submitting lists of acceptable jurists to the new all of whom were said to have passed a and indicating they would work to ban david president first appointment to the eighth is sworn in last bill roll call via getty more indeed leonard vice president of the federalist had written in a newsweek commentary that stras was leading conservative and that he and other judges appointed with the input of his group would the law for two already the society had what franken saw as too big an influence on the eighth leo had been instrumental in drawing up the list of candidates trump would use in selecting a supreme court and two eighth circuit judges steven colloton of des moines and raymond gruender of st louis were on that so was soon franken accused of sexual and his tina also declined to blue slip in another era that would have ended but this is not another charles chair of the judiciary waived the blue slip rule and stras became the first federal judge appointed to the bench over the objection of a home state senator in more than in his state of the union address the night of confirmation trump highlighted the fact that his administration had placed a record federal appeals judges in its first noting that those judges were chosen specifically because of their strict constructionist they interpret the constitution as he next up was ralph a george bush appointee to the district court of north he had a reputation as a middle of the road according to the analysis prepared by the vetting kind of nominee trump should nominate more and judicially erickson was approved with little not so the next steven a graduate of the university of

right of a woman to adopt the biological child of her lesbian calling that end around ban on and against allowing employees seeking accommodation for depression under the americans with disabilities saying not a reasonable for the state to pay them for not getting any work he also refused to approve standards proposed by the nebraska board of because evolution as a fact rather than a theory could violate free exercise but mostly he became known for his while in the attorney office he defended abortion which was eventually struck down by both the eighth circuit and the supreme after leaving that office he joined the board of the nebraska family alliance a nonprofit whose mission statement says it to advance freedom and life by influencing mobilizing prayer and empowering he also authored a paper urging courts to reject the supreme viability the core of roe and hold that the are protected as persons by the steven at a senate judiciary committee nomination hearing in tom roll call via getty more neither of both opposed so there was no blue slip but another tradition in the judicial nomination process is input by the american bar association on whether a nominee is qualified for the

committee on the federal testified to the senate judiciary committee last she are frequent unanimous votes on ratings are even less and grasz received the first unanimous rating since and only the second since after interviewing more than bresnahan the aba concluded that grasz would not be committed to what is known as a ruling based on legal precedent rather than desired professional peers

education outlawing racial segregation in public what is court watchers is that now legislators are in effect initiating the passing laws so broad and draconian that they invite scrutiny by the supreme in hopes the justices will overturn a theory is if they throw enough pasta at the wall something will says know what is going to make the supreme court so they are trying everything they can think ever since the ruling in roe wade in abortion opponents have sought to scale back access to abortion by imposing such restrictions as waiting parental permission for minors and mandated since trump took there has been a spike in the passage of such antiabortion restrictions according to the guttmacher which studies abortion states passed laws restricting abortion in the first year of this which the institute describes as a and the scope of the laws has increased as rather than just nibble at the as most previous legislation has the recent spate of laws aims to ban abortion in mississippi declared the procedure illegal after with no exceptions for incest or the health of the law was stayed by a district louisiana did the same last will only take effect if the mississippi law is eventually in fetal heartbeat bill was pending in nearly two dozen legislators have sponsored a ban on abortion at any time for any it would hold women criminally even if their lives are in a protestor at the jackson health organization clinic in on march rogelio more those who support all these bills see them as seizing a right now there is a president who campaigned on a pledge to appoint judges who would overturn roe that president might have the chance to appoint at least one supreme court justice in the near as justice anthony kennedy is said to be considering justice ruth bader ginsburg is and justice stephen breyer is all three have ruled in favor of abortion there is also the possibility that the midterm elections might change the makeup of some state making them less this increases the urgency of getting as many laws on the books as possible so there will be appeals already in the pipeline when and if the supreme court gets an the laws are aimed at the circuits most likely to uphold are circuits that are seen as more willing to throw precedent out the mcgorman clear that the sponsors of these bills have identified which circuits are best positioned to create a split which makes it to the supreme strategists are forthright that this is in fact the believe this bill will be a vehicle that will ultimately provide the opportunity to overturn roe said iowa state rick bertrand when introducing the fetal heartbeat cutoff in nothing hidden about the two weeks ago the supreme court refused to hear the arkansas medical abortion as is when that court turns down a the justices gave no reason for their leaving legal scholars to many theorized that the justices are making the same calculations as the forces and assuming that the supreme court might well look different in the relatively near in that if the court agrees to hear the the votes might not be there to uphold roe by the time a decision is one can know what they are says it is quite possible that turning down the case is a protective measure because those who voted in the majority in the similar texas case are concerned they might not have five to uphold roe in the arkansas appeal to send the case back to the courts where there might be a different ending on a second appeals go after the supreme court refused to take the planned parenthood applied for a temporary restraining order with the federal district the same one that had issued the original because the circuit objection to that injunction was that the district judge did not quantify the burden that would result from the medication the next step would be for planned parenthood to submit additional evidence of harm and proceed back up the appeals their injunction request was heard on and a decision is expected in the the supreme refusal left medication abortion effectively illegal in the iowa fetal heartbeat in might never come before the circuit in an unexpected the which is partnering with planned parenthood in fighting that sought relief in iowa state court because that constitution includes specific abortion protections while most others in the eighth district do protesters rally at the office of iowa kim reynolds in urging her to veto a bill that would give the state the strictest abortion restrictions in the she signed charlie more those who have spent their careers working to preserve abortion rights agree those rights are in but they disagree as to how far the rollback will believe we will ever see a complete reversal of goldberg that they will never come right out and

repeatedly made that there is little hard evidence to back up this but lgbt advocates and other opponents of the bills have had to develop a number of to refute a breakdown of their several states and major cities have supported transgender bathroom access for there are more than a dozen states and several cities that have laws that protect gender identity in public which is a legalistic way of saying transgender people can use whatever bathrooms they want in this is the kind of affirmation that started the whole controversy in north charlotte passed such protections earlier this state lawmakers said there would be terrible effects and passed a that eliminated protections and banned other cities from passing anything f ears about male predators have not been borne out in those places new york city has banned discrimination based on gender identity for more than a california has affirmed the rights of students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their

groups like the national center on domestic and sexual violence would be first out of the gate to oppose any law that did seem to endanger those to crash and says the equality this is everybody working on male sexual assault remains a crime no matter why someone claims they entered a space the predator argument is based on an assumption that men who prey on women will be inspired to dress as women and enter spaces because they could falsely claim to be transgender and therefore allowed to advocates if a female alleges she was sexually the gender identity of the perpetrator has no bearing on the criminality of the you are a man who dresses as a woman and goes into a bathroom and commits a says the human rights campaign attorney cathryn you have a protection on the basis of gender identity or that behavior is illegal and criminal and you could be arrested and go to if male predators were waiting for alleged loopholes like this to pop they could be using the bathrooms already the north carolina law mandates that people must use bathrooms based on their defined as the sex on their birth transgender who are likely to have a birth certificate with an on are often indistinguishable from cisgender notes the center for american sarah so a male predator could skip the trouble of dressing up and go into the room in north carolina pretending to be a transgender know

mexican immigrants were rapists a really horrifying history of demagogues and fundraisers those people over we have to hate them because we have to keep our women and children advocates have circulated old propaganda like videos saying lurks in the bathroom waiting to prey on young arguments about bathrooms were used to justify segregation and helped doom the equal rights these arguments have been advocates because people tend to feel vulnerable in the and women and children do have legitimate reason to fear assault in and particularly effective against transgender they because for

cleared the uniting the disparate factions that never went into open rebellion under her husband and tapping into his fundraising she never run for office or shown much enthusiasm for suggestions that she do the failure of hillary two campaigns stand as a reminder that presidential coalitions just be race and gender in a better identity politics would not be a major factor in choosing a and a reductive analysis of voters along racial lines would not explain much of our we do not live in that and the internal politics of the modern democratic party in particular are impossible to understand without starting with race and race and gender identities of the candidates have been front and center in many state and national democratic primaries since the election cycle saw female democrats win primaries in disproportionate a fact much touted by democrats and their many of the contenders and their supporters are not subtle about trumpeting the benefits of running a woman in pete the first openly gay we can best illustrate the role of race in particular by looking at the primary calendar and the and primary first what the democratic electorate will look exit polls are not available for every contest nor are they without their own but we have a primary exit poll from or both in of the democratic and they show an electorate that ranges from slightly to heavily and that varies widely from state to state in its racial in of those primary the democratic electorate was at least percent in some cases as high as percent with more nonwhite voters tend to be more heavily for a variety of depressing a rough estimate based on the demographics for the remaining states and delegates percent of the or percent of the majority needed to will be selected by primary contests where white voters are likely to be a i include california and new mexico in that despite exit polls showing those polls were taken over a decade and the demographics have continued to shifts are evident in states where exit polls are available for both and while you might have expected a larger turnout of voters in the primary due to the presence of barack obama on the the democratic electorate regularly featured more black voters and fewer white voters than in south for the electorate was percent white and percent black in percent white and percent black in by black women alone percent of the primary outnumbered all white voters in the south carolina in white voters declined from percent to that reflects overall trends within the especially in the south and white ancestral democrats died off or left the party in the obama while younger generations of democrats included more nonwhite campaigns also increased the registration and participation rates among voters in women remain the most reliably democratic of all voter and turnout among black women is now at least competitive with that of any other voter quite unlike turnout that has major implications for democratic in the next set of primary in which white voters are likely to be less than percent of all pushes the total to percent of the a large enough nonwhite vote to be decisive if nonwhite voters are unified while white voters are voters are hardly a of mexican immigrants living in california african americans living in rural and native hawaiians are quite different groups of the point here is simply that an awful lot of delegate selection will be done in states where nonwhite voters are a very large of the states that choose at least it is likely that five will have primary electorates and six will have electorates that are below percent while only two and will be above percent combination of voter demographics and voter mood is one reason that the white male candidates have been disproportionately hesitant to jump into this in the states where we have more specific white men were a quarter or less of democratic voters in south new and georgia in and california and new jersey in with and north carolina not far much does that matter to how the voters the dividing lines can be graphically illustrated by grouping the democratic contests by their winners in and contests won by both barack obama and bernie sanders against hillary clinton tended to be overwhelmingly white mainly smaller states with caucuses dominated by progressive activists or primaries with less overwhelmingly female is the democrats abroad notice wisconsin is on that there were nine states that hillary clinton lost in all three of her presidential races and eight of those were red states west of the the other was whose unique combination of green activists and voters never warmed to to the states that flipped from obama in to hillary in the states that decided both races a stark contrast appears to the every one of them except iowa had a significant black the clintons were always popular with and given the choice between hillary and they chose clinton in large given the choice between hillary and those voters went overwhelmingly for south carolina set the hillary beat bernie among voters after losing them to this was a recurring as andrew prokop at vox put obama won every primary in the eight states where more than percent of the population is and sometimes racked up huge margins in this dominance was because he won the votes of between and percent of black voters in each of these according to exit net over delegates from these eight states close to the margin of his pledged delegate lead when the primary season despite the ideological element of failed to the racial and by cost him the contests that hillary clinton won twice present a different these states on average had nearly as many hispanic voters as black voters have large immigrant and a lot more female voters compared with the bernie they also tended to be states with closed primaries rather than caucuses thus more democratic partisans than ideological pew estimated that hillary beat obama among hispanic and she continued that trend against the list includes many of the largest states as well as the last remnants of bill the picture is the handful of states that backed the loser both going from hillary to these were all with none of them closed to and all with a substantial number of the prototypically trumpy white voters virginia being the state where percent of the voters in preferred an incarcerated felon to renominating president does this all mean for the current the controversies of the trump and metoo era and the increasingly vocal nature of activism have made it common to hear prominent voices say openly that democrats need to run a candidate against trump who is not not or that could be particularly bad news for the two sanders and both very old white men who cut their political teeth in the very different world of the bernie has often struggled to connect to nonwhite voters and activists and has openly argued for a shift in emphasis from cultural to economic in line with the daily worker ethos of his for his has a trail of statements and positions on crime and as he was long the most ardent drug warrior in though he also has the residual glow of association with challenge for sanders in particular comes into view when you look at the primary calendar according to when each state first two iowa and new are both potentially strong territory for iowa is a new hampshire is an open primary in a state next door to his home and both are overwhelmingly white fact that has led to a lot of grumbling from progressive activists about their primacy on the bernie won new hampshire in and with a crowded he could win both without needing to get past to percent of the possible to win the nomination without winning either of those two states clinton did it in but nobody in either party since edmund muskie in has won both without winning the look ahead to march five weeks after new by that percent of the delegates will have been some percent of those delegates will be selected by not percent of the delegates through march will be chosen by states likely to have and another percent by states where white voters are likely to be below this is not bernie if he shown overwhelming strength in the first two going to find himself swimming against the matter in any crowded and the most obvious if democratic voters line up along race and gender is kamala the current field includes three white women kirsten and elizabeth one man one hispanic man who seems unlikely to be a and one woman of heritage who is something of a boutique abrams is the only potential entrant who a white and she probably leaves harris as the only woman in the if she can marginalize gabbard and drive booker off the field before south she could end up as both the only black candidate and the only woman of she and swalwell are also the only the largest state votes on super march a big change from its june position in the last two while some observers question where harris fits in ideological her ability to claim a distinctive lane while also claiming the most valuable geographic base seems likely to be much more that also drives her strategic nothing can be more important to harris than getting booker out of the race as early as history shows that race and gender identity matters to the lanes in a democratic primary in ways it would not in a republican for all the wedge issues his campaign in it would have been ridiculous for donald trump to argue that voters should support him just because he was white and there were eleven other candidates in the despite the overwhelmingly white republican chief competition came from the two hispanic candidates cruz and marco rubio got more votes between them in contested primaries and caucuses than trump and the lone african american in the ben was the only candidate to ever lead trump in the national poll if a issue that plays out more openly among not race or gender but as the divisive spats between mike huckabee and mitt romney age and familiarity a second way in which democratic voters behave differently from republican they are much more enamored with youth and fresh since republicans have nominated a candidate age or older election eight times in eleven including four of the six republican presidents elected in that by democrats have not elected a president aged or older since james buchanan in and have nominated only two candidates over since hillary clinton and john the average age of newly elected democratic presidents is and it drops to if you count only the seven elected since the civil also deviate from pronounced tendency to pick the in every republican nominee since had run for the job before except for george whose father had been president just eight years trump had not been a serious candidate but he had been nationally famous for over three ran in the primary in and had been publicly musing about running for are before the only nominees since william jennings bryan who had run before were al gore had run in george mcgovern ran briefly in adlai stevenson was nominated in both and and al smith had run at the convention in all of them as bryan the last successful democratic presidential aspirant who a was james stack up the current field by age and prior campaigns against past winning is the second strike against biden and they may have name and a background and but voters traditionally do not want those in nominating men even older than trump would throw away the ability to enthuse young who instinctively prefer youthfulness and a fresh since the democrats have lost elections in they ran a candidate who had run for president they ran a and they ran a candidate who was and had run age is also a strike against and even the candidates closer to the historical sweet spot are and the ones right in the heartland are abrams and beto best fits the at turns soulful and a guy who was in a band and has been known to skateboard on the one who inspires all the swoony press also suggests that democrats will look past their early some primary campaigns have a dominating and some do dominating win almost all the time in both although the two most prominent counterexamples come from youth rebellions on the democratic victory over hillary and lyndon withdrawal after a challenge by eugene at the five modern democratic primaries without a dominating only one in was won easily by a figure who started at the front of the mcgovern in while not a a fresher face than candidates hubert humphrey and george and he successfully cast himself as the alternative to the early muskie was eight years older than mcgovern and had been in public office for primary so far looks more like the other three races with democrats out of in and all were won by nate silver looked at the poll averages from to for this point in the race to july of the year before the and found that the winners were often far off the polling in single digits in the middle or rear of the pack and unknown to half or more of the national polls and polls in iowa and new hampshire show half or more of the voters preferring biden or but that is unsurprising given their high name even candidates like who is barely registering in can take hope from the trajectory of bill clinton in that polls showing that harris has pulled ahead of warren in new hampshire where warren is already a senator from a neighboring state have to be worrying to complicating factor for a candidate is the compressed time frame of the primary it may be harder now to build from a slow start than it was when mcgovern got his first win in the fourth or bill clinton in the but because democrats unlike republicans distribute delegates proportionally and have no it is not as easy for competitive candidates to be mathematically all but eliminated by the first week of anger the next lane that we should expect to matter a lot in the primaries is less easily the voters of the party out of power are always driven to some extent by and doubly so when running against an can play out in unpredictable republicans in passed on the candidates who were the most caustically critical of barack obama as ted marco and bobby in part because donald belligerent demeanor and willingness to with personal attacks as birth certificate bill sexual made him feel like the candidate most viscerally embodying by jimmy carter in and george bush in both channeled anger at predecessors not by direct criticisms both of them unlike some of their but by aspirational appeals to honesty and dignity in the which doubled as veiled john kerry as visibly worked up as howard but he gave democrats the chance to attack george lack of war service by building his campaign around own vietnam today are as angry as any party in one the latest national poll finds percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump has ever committed anything that might be considered a serious percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump himself did anything illegal in his dealings with russian officials before the percent of democrats believe that tampered with vote tallies in order to get donald trump elected percent of democrats believe that hacked the email of democrats in order to increase the chance that donald trump would win the presidential percent of democrats believe that of illegal votes were cast in the percent of democrats believe that trump will get us into a only is this an electorate that thinks the president is a criminal who stole the an electorate that is willing to believe conspiracy theories with no evidence tampering with vote in order to justify that july quinnipiac poll found that percent of democrats think trump is and democratic low opinion extends to members of the other party in a november monkey online poll found that percent of democrats described republicans as percent said percent said and percent said david french wrote more about polls of this nature appeals to bipartisan bonhomie and upbeat rhetoric will play very badly in this joe biden recently referred to mike pence as decent our vice which in normal conditions would not be considered after the inevitable storm of criticism on biden telling actress cynthia i was making a point in a foreign policy that under normal circumstances a vice president be given a silent reaction on the world but there is nothing decent about being and that includes the vice joe biden february pounced on the saying to a reporter who think the vice president is a decent when asked she saw anyone in the trump admin as offer any it was a rattled off the indictments from mueller rpt cabinet added is the most corrupt administration in living need to trump in performative displays of uncompromising anger and soundbites plays best to the strengths of harris and while booker and gillibrand have worked assiduously to play on that both give off a powerful vibe of trying too hard when they do booker in particular is plainly more at home being sunny and for democratic partisans looking for a gillibrand is still struggling to live down ill will from her role in pushing al franken out of the there may even be uncomfortable questions about the fact that and mcauliffe all raised money from the trump some of them in the the other if democratic voters are looking to trump with an in the way that carter and george bush cast themselves as the and that could play to the strengths of biden can invoke the obama booker he drops the spartacus or the publicly ideology political observers tend to see the in a primary mainly in terms of issues and bernie ran hard against hillary as too and obama ran against her on the iraq just as mcgovern had run an uncompromising as we have other factors better explain the dynamics of many past democratic polls paint a divergent picture of the democratic on the one many democrats tell pollsters that they are moderates who want the party to run a moderate just because they are angry at donald trump mean they are suddenly eager to as a recent nbc street journal poll of the electorate as a whole found that percent of voters are enthusiastic about or comfortable with an percent with a white and percent with a but only percent with a candidate over age and percent with a this is not good news for bernie candidates such as and who frame themselves as the mainstream main street can benefit from the other when individual issues are democratic voters are increasingly willing to embrace suggesting that their enthusiasm for centrism is more about their than about the message they want to hear from the an increasing number of younger voters genuinely believe the apocalyptic rhetoric of climate change ending life on earth in the near and at least one candidate has promised to make this his central bold positions on the issues can grab the attention of party who are more engaged early in the as well as young voters who value a transformative as a the competition to show or socialist bona fides will be already seen multiple major contenders floating stances that would have been viewed as marginal in years banning private health legalizing marijuana and banning all free reparations for packing the supreme court by expanding it to as many as guaranteed income for people unwilling to abolishing border barriers and border and the green new with its utopian aspirations to eliminate air and of the candidates yet seem immune to this headlong but as the field some of them will likely take up the challenge of criticizing each proposals as unworkable and impossible to the candidates with longer records in office could find themselves facing a backlash for past stances that are now seen by younger democrats not only as wrong but as positively immoral or biden has the biggest problem with but booker is still viewed with suspicion for his advocacy of school gillibrand for a whole host of issues on which she has from her blue dog days as an upstate new york sanders on guns and and even harris and klobuchar for their track records as record as an abusive boss is also out of step with the way many democrats see their values in general and their contrast with trump in the advantage may end up lying with the candidates with the vaguest who will be most able to adjust to where they think the voters will the midwest question the final question is as much one of strategy as of popular but it could make a difference in how voters and opinion leaders see their final are democratic voters worried about white voters in the the biggest surprise of was not trump winning obama states that had been won twice by george bush and or states that had returned to the republican fold for mitt romney carolina and but his victories in and second congressional those in states without significant hispanic populations and with only modest were driven by strength among white who offset the white suburban voters that trump drove or were in for trump got fewer votes than mitt romney and paul ryan and won the state entirely on the strength of depressed democratic turnout for hillary especially after relatively strong republican midterm showings in florida and the remaining midwestern states look like the weakest link of should democrats try to win those white voters should they be worried about holding onto the more moderate suburbanites who flocked to their banner in and are three schools of of is that republican routs across the midwest in the combined with low approval rating in many of those means they are already in the if that is trump is as good as and democrats can look past the election in choosing their this is probably a poor way to think but there is something to be said for the idea that primary voters are terrible judges of and should just vote their second school of thought is that white voters are a lost especially in the midwest and and the future lies in turning out more nonwhite voters and targeting five and north there is some basis in recent and not just in two for thinking that nonwhite voter turnout for democrats is likely to be helped significantly when nonwhite candidates are on the in percent of all democratic candidates for senator or governor were and the results for the party were not as there are for all the scorn heaped by liberal commentators on the white working class since the rise of and all the hype around demographic white voters in were still the largest demographic component of the democratic progressive democrats did show in that they could turn out a lot more voters in the states but other than kyrsten narrow victory in the arizona senate democrats still lost most of the statewide contests in the states even in proponents of this school of thought are likely to lean most heavily toward or third school of thought is that generation and nonwhite voters may be the future of the democratic but the electoral map in still requires democrats to win back more white voters without compromising their gains among moderate suburbanites clearly the thinking behind the announcement that the democratic convention will be in but with the economic populism of or with the methodical of with the backslapping of with a governor such as sherrod brown was seen as a major player in this as a democrat who won easily in ohio in but a approach would seem to favor biden or than caucuses in iowa and home state of the midwest does not start voting until march when ohio and michigan hold wisconsin and pennsylvania are in indiana in voters in the rest of the country are likely to have decided a lot about the shape of the field by highway if you have read this you can probably guess that i think the dynamics of point toward kamala harris as the most likely democratic with cory booker as her major obstacle but beto and amy klobuchar as the rivals she should most harris has the demographic advantage of her race and not old or she speaks to democratic desire for someone who can take on donald trump on his own emotional and willing to stake out dramatic harris is the candidate most likely to fill multiple lanes at and only biden rivals her odds of putting the nomination away relatively combines youth and freshness with the unquantifiable of charismatic men who have taken the democratic nomination in the because his path forward relies so much on glamour and beto needs to worry less about any individual competitor than possibly booker or than about doing well enough early to project an image that this makes his campaign strategically similar to that of marco who specialized in winning voters in the early primaries but fizzled out badly once he fell far enough behind that he no longer looked like a had to absorb heavy negative ad targeting from a candidate with the biggest war chest in the field competition from a candidate with a strikingly similar ideological and demographic profile and a kamikaze attack on the debate stage the first two of at will not be problems for but running on being the new thing means there is always a threat that one of the unknowns could become the even newer and there is already a boomlet among some commentators for pete relies on some of the same calculus as with the added possibility of competing directly with harris for but also perhaps the hardest candidate in the field to other than the obvious early biden and booker is the candidate who is an obstacle to the most other in contrast to harris and can position herself as the midwestern alternative to a democratic party that has become overly reliant on the coasts and needs to reassure suburbanites and win back heartland her path forward improves substantially if biden chooses not to and if she can squeeze gillibrand out the last three candidates remaining in the race will most likely include either or one of sanders or and either biden or two candidates who seem least likely to catch fire are warren and both of whom would have ranked a lot higher two or three years warren now looks very much like a candidate who missed her shot and should have run in when she fit the populist whether the problem is her her her stumbles in the controversy over her claim to native american or continuing hold on the voters she needs and the message she she will have to make a strong showing in new hampshire to avoid being run off gillibrand may look strong on paper like she could benefit from the same gender politics that help harris and but her ideological is emblematic of her general air of and a very long wait in the primary calendar for her new york base to come into all democrats might still pick a white male in his late biden is too and to write him off just and sanders still has an army in the field from own for of the

contacted belkin to do a kayana szymczak for yahoo more i wrote that i have sharp memories of the woman she was clearly recognizable in the woman now in her i recall the days i spent with and with the parents she chose to adopt her baby with her own with the head of the agency who facilitated his even her son who helped select a new family for his baby liked the fact that the new parents had two everyone had something to say back then about this and i quoted them all of but the newborn at the center of the which is why we are all here together name is michael james he had written in an email to me out of the blue a few months years ago you wrote an article about me and my i would love to talk to you sometime about that article and how things have played out in the long news stories are they capture what is or what seems most as the shutter they aim to stay out but almost the moment they enter the world they are literally sometimes the very existence of an article changes the often time and circumstance overtake whatever the the end of a news piece is really just the beginning of the the yellowed magazine gina holds in her hand is itself an example of journalism as a time the issue is focused on each article a profile of a different of together forming an album of what felt most and most about the the single mother by the breadwinner the the mother of all in a package was robust back titled on page was birth an example of the shifting balance of power in the days when a baby just appeared in an agency arms to be handed to a waiting couple were long but the era of the newly empowered biological mother and the varying degrees of open adoption she could demand were not quite yet the the story my editors assigned this general subject because it was is typical of the birth i staking claim to the importance as a i chose this particular family because they were a unique tale of a woman with bright orange hair and a precocious trying to do better for her second boy than she was able to do for her you wanted to find out what would happen to these but i learn what would readers was the day michael went home to i spent about an hour nursing apologizing and saying and gina more was i right about the norms of was it at a turning point for the has open adoption turned out as expected better for the for the biological for the adoptive or were there unintended was in right about her choice for her was his adoption in fact or did his first and second parents have different ideas about what that term should were the criteria she used in sorting through the applications the ones that he would have what does he think of her adoptions like are the subject of much more research now than years harold the rudd family foundation chair of psychology at the university of massachusetts at with his collaborator ruth runs the longitudinal study on openness in summarizes his three decades of research like we people were afraid of open they thought it would be confusing to would harm the bond with adoptive parents and would be bad for birth parents because it would not allow we can now say definitively that none of those fears hold but we can also say that open adoption requires that families be flexible and good at it is a lesson with implications for all the kinds of new families being forged in america relatively few parents now adopt an infant at as the matts now around a compared with older children who are adopted out of foster beyond those are the children of gamete and and parents who ask friends to be more multicultural families and every other sort of navigating the changes in culture and technology that have added new layers to discovering who you are and where you came story of the transition in american adoption is also the story of the transition of the american says adam founder of the national center on adoption and the generation growing up right now has a different definition of family than any generation ever so gathered again in the matt family his his birth mother and to explore how this one representing one data has found its it is first trip to this side of the michael has visited where she lives in several times over the and his are now two have come to providence to stay with him and his judy and andy but this is the first time east for his birth who wants to see his life she is here because michael reached out to and invited both of us he has things he wants to want you to talk to us about gina and then go talk to gina about says like her she is fair where michael and gina are steady where they are and deeply private where they are comfortable in the they are descendants of european heritage is mexican but they share a love for talk about each we talk to each we all did this created this she scoops her hand in a circle that includes michael and you do talk about michael then my turn to michael matt kisses his while waiting to be interviewed on camera by reporter lisa belkin of for yahoo on june in from andrew judy michael gina kayana szymczak for yahoo more begin at the have your son i quoted gina telling judy and andy in the final paragraph of my housed him for nine i took care of him as best i i had the easy now you guys have the hard you need to check in with me why did she do i ask if she wanted an open why did she begin by closing the want to be that crazy she one constantly calling to he doing you pack him a good he eating enough i know what the term i just knew i wanted to be some part of his and judy and andy was this their idea of how things would was a little by judy she was less interested in creating some sort of extended family with gina than making it possible for michael to access his medical information as he are able to open that door as wide as you or just and how we felt at least let there be an open and open it as while there is only one way to do a closed there are countless ways to do an open thing we know for sure is that one size does not fit says deborah a providence psychologist who has been studying several dozen adopted children at intervals for more than an adoption open because the original and the adopting parents exchange information with each other at the start but then drop is it exchanging cards with pictures at the knowing that the child might look for you at age and like biological like all one adoption changes tremendously over she can go wide open and then shut people can back off or lose and maybe they find each other all adoptions are de facto open because kids who even own a computer can find their birth parents from their at least can give that search a how both sets of parents work things in that new norm is an all three of parents see this but at the all gina knew was that this new way gave her more of a say than the old while judy and andy believed that more information was always and because birth mothers liked this new if they were to get a they would have to like it at first the matts took gina at her and call for a instead they built a life with their family of which judy kept an endless show a happy little boy with a bowl haircut standing in his crib with pictures of peter riding on shoulders in the local curling up in the visiting and disneyland and costa and loving realized that while she had changed she changed her too many sick days early in her pregnancy meant lost her job repairing arcade machines at the local dave and and now she bounced from one hourly job to the next in cucamonga exotic applying cosmetics to the deceased at a funeral while trying to make her way in the she dropped the name the name she used in the magazine taken during a brief early marriage and returned to using the surname she was born with and the one that put on original birth certificate until the adoption was the decade that followed was a jumble of fraught imperfect work experiences and dark episodes of by she was divorced and out of a raising not only her son andrew but also a daughter from a second failed judy and gina aparicio look at family albums together in living kayana szymczak for yahoo more as she went through all gina began contacting judy ostensibly she would call for updates about but she was also coming to see judy as stable a reminder that while her own life was roller coaster in the as she describes she had spared him time i got into another i had hope and start a she then that one and start another and then that one but i picked the perfect family for because they provided him that is something that i could never do for my in those early it was almost as if judy was also parenting contact was much more between me and judy than between me and michael at gina time she started out on a and then there would be the call that it had fallen judy got to know a lot about each as michael he became part of those not to talk about love of but to get on the phone with the woman he knew as birth from before he could the woman who had carried and given birth to him he was tummy was so you grew in i was talking to gina and michael came into the i would let him know that gina was on the phone and tell him say judy i would say call and wish her a happy is simply who he they for as long as any of them a family mantra was always has her side of the dad has his side of the michael has his side of the and a one memorable gina called excitedly and told judy michael on the judy and gina told going to be a big her way of announcing that just learned she was pregnant with her michael hung that baby coming here he judy was none too big important news like it might be best to pass it by andy and i she told gina later that after explaining to michael why some babies from tummy stay with gina while others live at their lesson gina just been winging it for as michael neared puberty and became more pensive and less the balance began to and it was judy who would turn more often to gina for insight and no book on open gina no directions on how to handle life situations with a mutual we would turn to each other a from their first when gina was four months she had told the matts about her lifelong history of mental illness the diagnosis of manic depression in her the impulsive the anger the despairing the decades of the lamictal she assured them that she had not been on any medication during any part of her they answered that they were prepared to parent a child who might inherit any or all of a copy of an old family photo showing andrew michael gina aparicio and judy kayana szymczak for yahoo more worry about it until it andy said at the we were impressed that she told our pediatrician said incredibly because a lot of birth mothers will just say that everything is knowing what was possible would help them look for signs and allow them to get help in the event that michael developed similar but it that as michael entered his teens and turned from charming moppet to sullen his parents used gina as their mom would tell me that he had anger she he was he was and a typical i wanted that to be nearly every adoptive parent goes through this trying to sort adoption from it is a rare child who gets through those years and a rare parent who wonder whether this is normal or a sign of something most kids will find something to blame their parents adopted children have to look very far to find a target for their and now add a biological history of psychological adoption is a case study of nature michael says that for years he directed all his anger at the when he was blamed where and how i was he when he was his parents moved from massachusetts to rhode island so he could attend the wheeler a private academy they thought would be perfect for his parents were his a marketing left her job to volunteer at his spent so much time at the school that one of friends assumed she worked was it taught tolerance and worked at but i was still one of the only hispanic people in my he nobody picked on him or called him pretty much treated me as just another white and i hated that more than michael matt and his biological gina visit the wheeler school in where he attended high michael took gina to visit places in the area that are important to so she could see what his life was like when he was growing kayana szymczak for yahoo more during his freshman he overheard one student say to not really a he i wanted to kick his growing up a mexican jew is something i always felt was lost in the adoption was the mexican another source of distress more guilt than though sometimes they felt like the same thing was his keen awareness of his life of privilege compared with the children gina did not michael would visit gina and her children every few or the matts would host his older brother and younger sister at their home for weeks at a at this damn he says would be barely making it with not a lot of and i felt so guilty that i could have all these things that they he when he raised the uncomfortable reality with his promised me he michael but on he also said things you have to worry about or have to ration your his parents knew michael was struggling emotionally and did what they could to though always with an eye toward the delicate and shifting lines drawn in an they were generous with gifts toward gina and her but they never offered direct financial even during the worst of her has been stressed to us by everyone from the very beginning that that could look like exchanging money for a and you ever want to blur those judy and while they encouraged michael to refer to children as his brother and with no need to use the they did not see it as their place to make that in when in the process of ending yet another tumultuous found herself pregnant she asked the matts if they would adopt this baby you did a great job the first how about another she got back to me and much as we would love we too gina was but not a lot of ways we are all one but that only goes so she my not she kept the baby split with the father and kept up her phone calls with giving and getting michael was learning spanish would become joining latino affinity listening to hispanic gina sent a family tree going back several generations and the family crest that hangs in his mother sent some mexican including one for enchiladas that judy followed as best she could when michael wanted to bring it to the involved in cultural potluck at gina is aware of the i even speak she was raised on fish sticks and canned refried but i gave wanted to give him culture so i sent what i he wanted for a while he took his frustration out on what he saw as a disconnect with his was always unsatisfied with it michael michael james he he knew the story of how it came to gina had decided to name him michael joseph before he was chosen to honor a manager and a security guard at dave who had been particularly kind to her as she struggled to keep working during her that led andrew to start calling him before he was andy and judy had planned to call their son but they want to confuse so they went with michael in high i was young and a he says he took to threatening to change his last name to he even tried it out on where gina discovered it and told his he remembers them not they say they they told him more about his psychiatric he was the age gina had been when she was and his initial thought that makes a lot of there were times he was all but paralyzed by and a moment when he grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened to stab his parents saw all but also a boy who was so much student body captain of the varsity president of latino and adoption affinity a counselor at school and an eagle scout who loved hiking in the he says he worked hard at keeping most of his struggles to not on them that they he says did a very good job of not letting but he would open up in his talks with and find solace because he have to explain his brain she already michael matt looks at a photo of himself as a child that his has brought out to show on june in kayana szymczak for yahoo more as he neared his he began talking with her he would call just to with despite the occasional moments when she worried that her son might come to love gina for she was glad she could help her but came to the disquieting realization that she was the control in this michael had inherited his volatility from he had a genetic makeup similar to his three but he was raised in a stable by parents who knew in advance what problems he might face and could provide him with resources and how would he turn how might her own life had been different with his when she would tell him about her older son dropping out of or about the ongoing custody fight over her youngest with an ex who wanted to change the name to his or her worries about her preteen daughter who was foundering at she would often is why i gave you so this be your saw the theme as his world diverged and intersected with and he hatched a he had become increasingly close with his sister now that the girl was a young serving the role for her that gina served for two summers she came to visit for the longest time they had spent and for the first time at his home rather than really got to know each he all she knew was the guy gina put on a michael student body a varsity but not all of she got to know my she got to know the real the flawed human her he also learned more about school she was in the teachers he my education was so important in how i grew something i valued i wanted my kid sister to have that so he pitched an idea to his you be ok with housing my sister while she went to high school at she could apply for a scholarship slot at the wheeler then live in his old bedroom while he was away at pointing out that he was asking them to provide not matt and judy michael helped her with the if she would get a chance to live something like his with all its blessings and it was near the end of his freshman year at hamilton college in that michael first learned about the article in the new york it was gina who slipped up and inadvertently told they had been in more regular touch now that left home for would talk with my parents on the phone once a he then i started calling maybe not once a but pretty no offense to my but i get more personal with gina welcomed the calls even as she worried about on she was full of questions about his college after that was why she gave him up in the first she so that he would get the education that she had and knew she be able to he tended to call late at night east coast while he walked long loops around the campus in the he would talk of his plans to major in to become a of his love of writing and performing rap of how nearly everyone at hamilton called him the name he started using as a dj at the radio short for but less threatening to his parents than changing his they all three of his parents still call him during one of these gina mentioned something about the magazine neither remembers exactly what she but they agree that gina immediately was not my place to tell she was up to his not legally my done a phenomenal job at molding and not my place to provide that andy and judy had decided it their place to tell him they would have preferred he never see the piece at they had participated reluctantly back only at and they asked me to keep their family name out of the had no control over the and we know how he would react to this article years when he read andy once the piece came they were all the more concerned that gina had revealed far too much to were items in that article that judy specifically how gina worked as a at a strip club into her fourth going by the name of we put it and we put it and then we forgot about and then gina let the cat out of the were the matts take a deep breath and you is for a judy if she and andy had ever given michael the she fears he would have seen it as an implicit attack on but as it shared this with him about we have to do gina had remembered the so back in his dorm he googled accepting applications for my and read it through more than the parts he found most surprising and most distressing were not the ones his parents had the greatest revelation was that he was almost given to another sitting in her bedroom years looking for an application that met her gina first settled on a couple from southern california a hispanic man and a caucasian the same racial makeup as that couple backed largely because they felt gina lived too which is why she ended up pulling judy and andy from the learning all this for the first michael felt as you racial issues were a huge stress on me growing i what would it have been like to be in a situation where i would have been the same race as my gina aparicio and michael matt explore the grounds of osamequin farm in on june kayana szymczak for yahoo more his own response surprised got placed in the right he now sure about a rhode islander right at my i am a true to although i do much with it who i am supposed to and there was another until he read her words from the he had not realized how empowered gina had been by her what a fresh start for both of them his adoption was meant to she has learned anything over the past nine i wrote in is that she is in was when surrendering a child for adoption was a desperate choice made by young girls who were victims of but there is nothing desperate or directionless about she could have chosen an she could have opted to keep her her decision was not desperate but it was not about it was about months after the it all blurs the the the but while they were a they were also discrete and separate and it was the play that came as an assignment for a scriptwriting michael received a small grant from hamilton to produce a play he wrote titled narratives of facing adoption in he was still writing and rewriting as he began his sophomore trying to capture a lifetime of feelings and turn them into on the afternoon of one of his closest friends at school killed isaiah took his own when everything hit the he says he took two weeks but stayed on his grief was so raw and deep that his hamilton friends made sure he was never andy and judy went to be with michael within a few they found a changed person but also eager to open up about everything kept from seeing the pain caused by he made him realize could never do growing he had a lot of moments where i thought i might end and there were times that i got but there was always someone that i who reminded him much i after i was can never do i do that to my i do that to i do that to my and i really do that to my if you live for you have to live for other so he told andy and judy more even than he had admitted to basically just opened it all up and was is really what been going through my entire life and kept this from you until he showed them the burn marks from lighted cigarettes and the scars on his hands that blamed on sports but now admitted were the result of things since i was a young concrete on one a tiled bathroom which resulted in a trip to the emergency his parents were relieved that he felt free to open up about these but shaken by the that turned to shock a month later when they returned for the staging of his he had told them it was a mixture of memoir and but they prepared to hear a character named michael not sure ever truly bonded with my i love but i really like you the boy in the play fights constantly with his who says things may have given birth to but not your i raised the fictional adoptive mother is a woman who is killed at the end of the meaning that michael erases both parents from his that how he really judy was thinking as the lights came i catch why i know this about michael matt in his bedroom in on june kayana szymczak for yahoo more michael explained that the death was how the character came to the realization he had reached after the death of his the fictional character loses his chance to tell his mother he appreciates all she has done for the play is attempt to say the same to his actual adoptive point of the show is that no one is he not putting the blame solely on me and not putting the blame solely on saying that this is a situation that none of us could have done life is about figuring it out as you as gina has said my entire there is no book on what we and the show is a reflection of when he returned to school after christmas break of michael lasted just two weeks before returning home in a state of desperation and waking with nightmares of ghosts pinning him to his bed by his he was diagnosed with depression and other though not the manic depression that had afflicted he spent the rest of the spring and summer as an on medical leave from he got a job at a local nursery and spent his working on his metal to his his sister was not admitted to the school hoped she go but mostly he focused on and surprised himself by the true peace and comfort he felt living at gina sits at the kitchen mug of tea in exhausted from her flight from california but still energetic and she cuddles the two she wants one of i tell can barely feed you think going to feed a giant and she fills judy in on the latest in her gina aparicio plays with the during her visit to their on june in kayana szymczak for yahoo more she is in love with a man she and her daughter rescued

her who is having serious mental health including thoughts of gina fought for the kind of treatment she realize was available until she watched michael receive got her into a program like the one michael was she part not the usual thing for our crappy but i got her michael matt and his biological gina share a moment exploring osamequin kayana szymczak for yahoo more and in another iteration of their evolving family who spent this fall semester back at doing well emotionally and academically has become a source of advice for both mother and gina calls to ask how he what interventions whether the girl should be tested for his diagnoses of adhd and whether she should take in calls his sister and can been definitely a milestone in our relationship as he can speak to her like no one else

private christian school that i could never she lives with his dad full time and goes to a remarkable school that i absolutely i did it i gave up another kid so he could have an as she she eyes

high school and within a few gina will be back in on medical leave from work while she cares for her who is home and apparently but before they will all sit down with me for the interview that michael has asked for so he can say what wanted to say since the day he first read about whole life happened after that he he wants to use his tiny bit of the spotlight to answer what he sees as the underlying question of my can an adoption be too he absolutely can a birth mother be too i tell him i think that was the question behind the but he says that was his describing how what gina did was new and you were basically asking whether it was he the he posits that adoption was in the midst of changing when he was and now what was the exception is now the gina was newsworthy back then because she was in the first stages of an experiment for which there are now he and he is one of from andrew judy michael gina aparicio and lisa belkin in the home on june in szymczak for yahoo more wrote how

sometimes ask me if we were the for mccain that year blatantly favoring him over george bush in the republican primaries and the answer is we were professional and asked him plenty of tough but the fact that we could even do so hours a day for weeks on end time than he spent with his reflected a level of access he granted us that would dull the blade of the most vicious hatchet and he answered almost all of them even if doing so made him look republican presidential hopeful john and his speak with reporters as they travel from columbia to aboard the talk on paul more like the kennedy brothers with an older generation of mccain appeared to enjoy our company in although the press policy was also a stratagem to differentiate himself from bush by running a nontraditional he largely abandoned it in especially when his disturbing selection of sarah palin as his running mate vaporized his media but mccain built to hide from the press or be a donald trump never apologizes for mccain often did in part to seek media absolution for pandering or other unwise of course there were limits to the he never said sorry for up mccain was a throwback to that lovably irascible the guy who told

in south carolina to speak out against the confederate flag flying over the which he considered one of the biggest regrets of his as the campaign wound i was a dinner guest at his ranch near where he cooked for his after he was tortured in mccain could no longer lift his arms above his so his sport of choice became i watched him jump between four turbo grills preparing his spicy if he ever got to

to burlington to talk to take stock of the then as that same campaign may or may not be coming to a bernie is still barnstorming in where polls show him in a tight race with hillary and where he is hoping that somehow a landslide will help him make his increasingly unlikely case for the jane has taken a break from the trail for a few days to come nurse a see her and give me a tour of the place that launched this unpredictable run in the first the printer cartridge exchanged course the new one is more we drive through the city that both native new yorkers call the one that gave bernie

this she had a the wild things jane is here so often that perron knows exactly what kind of minimal makeup meets with and jane has basically watched son grow up in near weekly at first reluctant to speak for the campaign the who the heck jane has grown into one of her most vocal and popular surrogates admit susan sarandon draws bigger one thing changed from when we first she says as perron applies a little lip looked around and saw that other campaigns had more people out there spreading the and i realized that if i wanted that for bernie i would have to be one of cnn is playing on the screen a mix of donald trump berating the press for asking about his donations to and outrage over the shooting of harambe the gorilla at the cincinnati when bizarro worlds and trump is asked about the jane is unexpectedly so he has to she they can make it seem like all he wants to talk as she waits for a microphone to be clipped to the colorful shirt that she bought on a campaign trip to puerto rico ahead of the june primary she worries briefly that wolf blitzer might actually ask her about gorillas but instead most of their conversation is about another topic that frustrates her the math of the can her husband possibly win a large enough percentage of the june vote to overcome hillary delegate continue reading in she takes cnn to task for including superdelegates in their think cnn and msnbc should listen to the communications director of the dnc when she says count those superdelegates before they she pledged delegates behind secretary and it is a steep but the fact is won a number of a number of by large and if he somehow does that well in he could lead in the pledged delegate if the she superdelegates might change their but she quit before the final vote is the segment but she waits to have an unaired word with include those superdelegates and pronounce her the nominee immediately after new jersey she warns meaning three hours before voting ends in california on count those superdelegates until they actually vote on july we stop for lunch at a restaurant across from the pedestrian mall that mayor sanders helped create in the middle of a spot not far from the church where jane first heard him speak during his first campaign and almost instantly fell in jane and bernie often came here for late dinners after city council meetings during the early years of their and there is a small cartoon version of his face tucked amid the elaborate mural at the which otherwise consists mostly of naked young we are still on the subject of knew nothing about the democratic primary at the start of this she since both she and her husband are both has been a real and we need to reform that electoral not from a point of but for the if it were a we would have been complaining all just taking not i all this count the superdelegates actually she just clarifying the larger existential reason for those delegates in the first purpose of the superdelegates is supposedly to make sure the right person gets the she her husband disagrees that such a mechanism should and if he were designing the rules they would but since they she they should be permitted to actually do that are the insurance she our question are they the insurance policy for the establishment candidate or are they the insurance policy for the democratic she cites the many polls that show bernie sanders having more of a lead over donald trump than hillary clinton then says she is tired of having to argue this viability question at every interview from a year ago until today has as the question or the you really and more of a scorecard that interested in rather than why running and what he wants to she when she concedes that voters do in fact know where bernie stands on his key issues for a health care a higher minimum less gun control than clinton and more regulation of wall but she credits social media for getting that message because the mainstream press was too busy covering donald think the press deserves responsibility for giving trump the especially the tv she after rally of his was covered beginning to while everyone else got a snippet of then marco rubio said one outlandish thing and his next four rallies were also covered anyone trying to talk about issues never got any i think this is a real comment on our i reviewed the notes from our first interview this past i tell and was surprised to see we mention donald trump at the campaign anyone she adding she thought the republican nominee would be jeb bush or marco a smart i would have thought have done i thought the brash one would have been chris and i never would have thought it would have gotten this but you never get the campaign you i suggest that the ugliness of the and online is not limited to donald both sanders and trump tapping into similar wellsprings of turning over the same rock and exposing some very angry people some she looks like he just tells it like it bernie also tells it like it i think people are sick and tired of the canned politicians and both trump and bernie offer something completely but you need to get past that and get to the issues and then you see a real distinction between our she goes on to reject the worst of the bernie bro with its implicit misogyny directed at campaign has always been and will always be about a vision for the she has been about not about tearing apart we fight back against people who say hateful things supposedly on our our social media people were this not the i tell her that i put a message up on my facebook page asking what questions i should ask the sanders and that the overwhelming majority of responses were from readers who fear that bernie is effectively handing the race to trump by hanging by continuing to criticize and by feeding the their logic sanders makes it ever more difficult for the party to unite before the general jane think that been very clear that do anything to oppose donald to beat donald she is a very necessary should he not get the might another goal be some role in a potential hillary clinton now he is just focused on winning the she maybe secretary of or secretary of she smiles for just a then you can join in on the conversations after but finish the back at the jane is talking about what happens after her husband does not take his talk of a she and win or lose he and his circle intend to use the clout from this campaign to keep pushing their that means marshaling the lists and infrastructure built during the past year into some sort of organized not just about winning the about changing our country to have it be what we all want it to be and know it can she want an really organized group of people helping support moving it in the direction of the issues that talked and if not the it will be him leading that leading that been spending some time noodling on the details of such a group something like moveon or organizing for but with a something thought about and will be able to bring to him at a future not in the middle of a this is something we will move on regardless of the outcome of this and i will definitely be involved in as she the landscape becomes more and soon we pull into the driveway of a colonial on a quiet residential there is a fulltime secret service detail guarding the and they are confused because jane forgot to tell them she was expecting a reporter and a camera once we are she ushers us into exactly the house so many doting grandparents there are photos of the five children and seven grandchildren on all the a clutter of knickknacks on all the and piles of magazines and the stuff of daily life everywhere jane will text me to ask if i remember where she put her keys when she came home because she find i in the room adjacent to the kitchen the floor is covered with toys a things that make noise that their parents prefer stay here rather than come her taxes anywhere in this she they been released because they just been finished yet the accountant filed for an extension until in the dining she moves a miniature nativity scene out of hardly been home since she says by way of nearby is an antique sculpture of don which she asks that i not write about as a and hanging on the walls nearby are several framed prints heavy with symbolism all scenes from the white they are prints commissioned and sent as christmas cards every year of the clinton presidency and they bear the signatures of both hillary and bill which means jane and bernie sanders sit in their dining room and gaze at greetings from the guess maybe we should do something else with she then she explains proudly that they were among the first thing that her now a professional by and you get the sense they going a secret service agent tells her that her husband has been trying to reach she turned off her phone during her tv interview earlier and during all the time been talking glanced at it a scroll through her messages shows that she also has two radio interviews scheduled within so we say our quick goodbyes and i grab a ride back to the airport with my camera i am halfway down the driveway when she calls out with one last one she seems to have been mulling

have very much to do with running for anything other than more and i wrote what any normal person would have considered a dismissive account of the whole included the odd fact that trump steadfastly

be a very serious but you when your entire industry is happily allowing itself to be i guess you have to acknowledge the elephant in the oh i trump is a legitimate obsession because he is the look at

actually talk to a who keep any of these other droning candidates and who find politics in general to be a trump draws crowds because he is a genuine celebrity and a politics is tedium and like

if there were any real proportion trump would merit about half the coverage he and we constantly be baiting him to hurl some we can say we do this because we have some somber responsibility to vet the leading but the truth is we are operating in a precarious and insecure moment where nothing matters more than the almighty and anything with name on it gets a ton of guess he knows this is peculiar leveraging one kind of celebrity into so that he never really goes he get to be an iconic real estate developer by building nicer buildings than everyone he did it by leveraging his money into cachet as a and then renting out his name to foreign he took his act to tv because he understood that he was perfectly situated to leverage his fame as a billionaire into even more fame as a tv and now on to

the truth is out my own book on the subject of trivial political was that our news and politics were veering ever closer to the dark vision of aldus huxley in brave new world he warned that the line between tv entertainment and real events would become so porous that the nation would soon be unable to distinguish between and as a result our public discourse would become a series of meaningless story arcs rather than an informed debate over the consequential business of do i worry that trump is the realization of worst and trump himself worry because i think for a moment that he wants the what trump wants actually is the man has a clinical phobia of he puts his name on every building he owns just to make sure people will have to speak it out he has no plan for actual governance and no ambition to actually possible that his daily barrage of insults and each more outrageous than the is really a kind of as if trying to figure out how awful he can be before the show starts to lose even if trump managed to get the nomination he the broader electorate would recoil at the things he and probably counting on what does worry me is that trump really is a proven brilliant at seeing the next the first interloping network star to jolt a presidential but no way is he the trump is pointing us the way of certain european as my former new york times colleague frank bruni brilliantly noted last

consequential how he navigates the struggles of his last months in office and what lies ahead for him after eight years filled with we will also look at how the country bids farewell to its first not a literal days obama leaves office in late january and it all be about as obama himself is fond of he also spent his two terms as father to daughters malia and sasha and husband to first lady michelle and even without much input from the white the cultural landscape shifted dramatically over his two terms on issues such as gay and then the way the president sees the presidency not just his tumultuous years at pennsylvania but also the institution and its relationships better or with other branches of government and with the news in this eleventh we look into the white process of drafting condolence statements after president condolences must be humorous and modern american presidents are often at their most eloquent in moments of national ronald elegy for the astronauts who died when the space shuttle challenger exploded moments after liftoff captured the fear and sense of loss while expressing a defiant desire to reach for the bill empathy and words of comfort to oklahoma city less than a week after the bombing there blended understanding of personal loss with promises of a george bush gave a lot of speeches after the terrorist but his most memorable remarks were an impromptu promise delivered while ground zero rubble still to find those responsible and punish on this obama has been tested perhaps more than delivering memorable and searingly emotional speeches after including an unheeded call to move past partisanship in the aftermath of the january shooting in that targeted gabby but far from the tv unremembered on unlikely to inspire many treatises on presidential presidents issue perhaps thousands of official expressions of these brief written statements honor and mourn the famous as well as the or ordinary people caught up in

thai people and a message to an entire region worried about rise that america cares enough to pay when the white house americanizes a name from a foreign the national security council coordinates with the state department to agree on a aides others are deeply like the statement the president released after the tragic death of white house official jake brewer which reached the smallest but most important and his thirst for public were such a huge part of who jake conservative journalist mary katherine told yahoo kids get to see that and learn about it and i have a ton of stuff to give them from their a statement from a president any president is an honor and an this one speaks so clearly about who their father and so glad we have ham said by as surprised as anyone to have ended up with something from president obama hanging on my sure getting a laugh out of the process for writing a presidential condolence statement is not in fact a little ad according to a senior white house who requested anonymity to discuss a for when to issue a presidential according to dana george final press tended to favor issuing statements if it was someone of cultural like james brown she the president knew the perino told yahoo many hollywood types but i remember one famous golfer died and they asked me to write a statement for i even know who the guy she the such as it starts when the white house learns of this can come from many different sources an embassy notifying the state department that a notable foreign official has a reporter emailing a request for or a segment on one of the cable news channels that are perpetually on west wing tv for it was who let the white house for leonard aka it was an email from a for the president and senior aides learned on an air force one flight from saudi arabia to london and held an impromptu dance party homage to the rock legend by playing some of his hits in the flying conference according to one not every celebrity gets a some slip through the a senior white house aide close to the writing process expressed dismayed surprise when yahoo news informed him that there had been no public expression of mourning for comedy legend gene the same aide expressed less surprise about the absence of a statement for michael a he white house reaction to the king of demise came from secretary robert who got a little snippy when asked about the lack of a written you can read it here but the speechwriters skip a statement for partisan aides a white house aide said obama approves of every condolence statement that goes in while white house staff often drives the president is going to pick important to the aide this president has been particularly attuned to celebrities and political figures important to a civil rights you can bet have a the aide one of the most personal statements of the obama era was for actress ruby dee a civil rights and i will never forget seeing her on our first date as mother sister in do the right it says in when a statement has diplomatic or national security it can get batted around from the white house to other agencies that might have an interest in the or in including or certain lot of people are given the opportunity to take a not necessarily given an opportunity to sign a senior obama aide told yahoo as perino common for aides not to know much about the person trying to eulogize on behalf of the even when they know a the research portion of writing one of these statements is a complicated unlike news which typically have obituaries of prominent people ready to the white house does not prewrite its have ever had these in the a senior official the only exception to that rule was south african president nelson mandela and that was an had told us in that so we had something basically put though it needed to be the official and even obama rewrote on the flight from washington to south the internet has made research for condolence messages but the writing of them a bit more ever want these to read like a wikipedia a senior official involved in the process this is hard to do in the age of people tweet the best and if you use one of you might get you got that from not the only the issue of misattributed quips or believe how many quotes are the official said with a have a great you ask the researchers to check it come back and say this the research for the statement about leonard nimoy began when the president told chief speechwriter cody keenan loved during an oval office that comment ended up in the final found a times article saying that potus and nimoy met at a fundraiser in and potus shot him a vulcan salute so where we got the anonymous senior official knew that potus had been a fan of the tv show when he was younger and we had a little fun the columnists who always criticized potus for being and so where the whole i loved came aides also learned that actress nichelle who played uhura in the original had once come to the oval office and taken a picture with obama in which they flashed vulcan salute she was wearing a starfleet necklace which was the official fact we learned from nimoy directed three men and a baby who when it came to jake the white house speechwriters learned of his loss from fellow obama staff who worked most closely with him were just and already working on their own statement to put out in chief technology

one of a friend of took the lead with help from we ran it by muhammad death earlier this year yielded one of the most interesting and complex condolence statements the white house learned from the boxing family that he had been taken off life and spent that friday night working on a presidential team includes a former tyler who did the research and banged out a first the two speechwriters got together to edit around at the white then sent their work to he asked us to make the point like the rest of ali perfect he made he learned from them and and contributed to his a senior official told yahoo that sentiment was reflected in the final statement from both the president and the first they said in all his magic in the he could be careless with his and full of contradictions as his faith but his even innocent spirit ultimately won him more fans than foes maybe because in we hoped to see something of aides who work on these statements try to make people the first line of the ali statement ali was the if you just asked tell tell you he was the double that thrown thunder into the last line in the tribute to film director harold ramis gave a nod to fans hope that he received

dragged to i a city or so it calls anyway not allowed to build any of those great phallic where they make a decent pizza to save their where the hermès store just opened and never anyone in chances are trump views the most powerful figures in washington much the same way the elite of silicon valley and wall street which is to nice that you all want to do this public service but how smart can you really be if reached middle age and afford to buy your own but here trump arriving today for a with republican leaders most notably the speaker of the paul and because ranking republicans along with the people on cable tv and some of own advisers have been telling him that he urgently needs to unify his party if he wants to have any shot at winning in about to find out if trump really is a gifted or merely a boor who got because if as smart as a lot of his supporters he waste a lot of charm sucking up to trump should already understand that the party elite is way more useful to him as a disgruntled foil than it could ever be as an of the opposite of what hear in where decades of elections have taught us that divided parties never triumph in the and certainly some basis for thinking that trump is better off with a united and passably enthusiastic party by lending their names and ryan and other republican leaders could make it easier for trump to raise money and assemble a turnout machine in key they could help solidify support among reliable republican who at this point getting behind trump anywhere near as solidly as they got behind john mccain or mitt but think about all this a little more first of the which means going to get fundraising help and voter files from the republican national committee even if republicans in congress show up and chain themselves to the door like human even it should be during his primary trump made endless fun of these politicians who had to ask rich people like him for so the endorsement of ryan and other party leaders is really more about symbolism the message it supposedly sends to wary donors and volunteers than it is about unlocking the resources for which is except that the republican establishment just got its butt kicked all over the map by a guy who says he loves debt and has no idea what the nuclear triad so not sure the warm embrace of party leaders is necessarily the key to generating critical enthusiasm and even if you think party leaders can swing a lot of money or machinery in you have to consider what we just saw in the which is that celebrity and free media mattered a million times more than paid advertising and targeted trump was probably right those words do not come easily to when he told the associated press this week that all the analytics of the modern campaign are vastly overrated or at least they are when you have percent name id and a side career as a tv but more important than any of trump has a problem if he somehow becomes the traditional nominee of a unified republican he win that the demographic as probably is bad and getting worse for republican candidates to begin if you take a guy whom most women and minority voters find about as likable as and make him carry the same predictably socially regressive message that mccain and romney that mathematical disadvantage probably becomes if the fall campaign is about an even more nativist republican against an uninspiring trump almost certainly on the other about a renegade reformer against the establishment of both parties in he might have a chance to change the quadrennial math and this is why trump should welcome and even encourage the resistance of ryan and the no matter what the tell already hijacked the republican and he can drive it anywhere he his best shot is to run as close to an independent campaign as he talk to frustrated pollsters for other candidates who conducted focus groups during the and they will tell you that essential was the main reason that nothing he said or did no matter how offensive or dumb substantially affected his trump was blowing up the entire and all anyone cared this is not a sentiment confined to the republican the motivating emotion among a good chunk of the who now make up more than a third of the including many who support bernie sanders or who bothered to vote in previous think of it this standing in front of a deciding between two one is a predictable and thoroughly unenjoyable film already sat through twice the other got absolutely horrid but you have no idea how it most of us would choose movie because at least the experience be depressingly and how a lot of voters running against both elite would have the added for of deflecting attention from the fact that he knows almost nothing about governance or really anything related to the presidency at instead of having to defend the republican platform or reconcile his own inconsistencies with he can simply shrug and say about the failure of the the catch of is that even if trump were to win as a kind of vulgar disrupter of the status never be able to arrive in washington with no real constituency in and both parties would turn on him like an autoimmune but enacting laws has never been as been saying for he at an entertainer whose sole ambition is to be validated and he needs to stride upon an ever larger or else he feels like all the more reason be smart to seize that stage alone and leave

buttigieg had no interest in becoming known as gay mayor in or in transforming himself into a spokesman for the he wanted to be the rising democratic star by the happened also to be we talked then about president obama about how he had eschewed the politics of racial how he had been secure enough to discuss the political novelty of being black without letting it become the only thing he it was much the same way that john nearly years had made catholic identity a part of his political but not the only thing people buttigieg even that the time was coming when being gay be any different from being catholic or being black in each of those some people might hold identity against but even more of them would admire you for pushing past it and focusing on commonalities now buttigieg is holding firm to that even if the moment has come back around to a place where it might seem more in a democratic to lead with his own sense of alienation from the power he with his experience as that may seem like a stretch for the but to this other than cory buttigieg is only one of a few candidates who have run anything as large as a midsize midwestern think we want washington to begin to look more like our cities and and not the other way he told me this less more and i think how politics should certainly not how politics is right it surprise me if buttigieg did a lot better in the coming campaign than people outperforming some of the candidates who are more widely considered now to be in the top just as race gave him automatic credibility with the so too may status as the first plausible gay candidate liberate him from the ideological litmus tests that might doom another candidate with sensible in other his identity may guarantee him a even if not the basis of his his appeal for a younger generation of coupled with a quiet authenticity and a pragmatic may strike a lot of democrats as a refreshing alternative to the somewhat candidates who already are competing to see who can grovel the most on calls for social justice especially if some of the and less ideological like joe stay out of the but whether or not he hangs around past iowa and new buttigieg seems likely to stick in the upper echelon of democratic politics for a long time to and bound to do something more historically in terms of than most of the candidates who would like to surround their campaigns now with historical like obama or hillary clinton the and buttigieg is set to clear a path for a generation of candidates to about to that you can be a serious candidate for president who happens to be rather

audience during a town hall in april in ross more as the gop continues to struggle to pass some sort of obamacare repeal there is no republican senator in a tougher bind than jeff flake and there has been no clearer illustration of how tough that bind has become than been happening back in his home state of arizona during july ever since the house gop unveiled its american health care act earlier this flake one of only two republican senators up for reelection in has remained repeatedly declining to say whether he would vote for any of the various proposals on the now arizonans on both sides of the aisle are demanding an on roughly progressive many with physical flooded into phoenix office as part of a nationwide protest organized by the group they installed a cardboard coffin in the with a headstone reading to medicaid they waved signs that said kill million they chanted about our and jeff they stayed for straight five were cited by police for trespassing just want to know a simple yes or no would suffice for me his said demeris herrera of unaffiliated protesters were arrested thursday morning outside office in downtown including one who allegedly threatened a gop primary kelli made the same point in an interview with yahoo insisting that after of campaigning and raising money on fully repealing flake is instead sanctuary to obamacare because he is unwilling to speak up and take a amina kruck protests in the lobby of sen jeff office in phoenix on july loren more too weak to lead right ward as for flake according to his the senator spent most of the week in utah mourning his who died on june only response to the ongoing health care debate was a statement to both yahoo news and the protesters in his that consisted mainly of recycled talking points i have not yet seen a revised version of the bill i can say my decision will be based on how it balances two it declined to be interviewed for this first is that the legislation needs to ensure that those who currently have coverage do not have the rug pulled out from under the second is that the senate must agree on a solution that is fiscally the fact that flake is staying silent on the senate repeal bill and catching flak from both the left and the right as a result neatly encapsulates the unique political challenge facing in the runup to the at the other vulnerable dean heller of tried to avoid the subject as but soon after senate republicans released their version of the house repeal bill late last heller came out against it announcing that he support a piece of legislation that takes insurance away from tens of millions of break with gop brass reflected basic electoral given recent trends in the greatest threat to his reelection effort is more likely to come from a democrat than a to nevada freshman jacky rosen announced thursday that she would be running against heller in and dina a has also signaled her interest in the so heller has yet to draw a gop primary on the other is being

predict the sinema told yahoo news when asked whether she might challenge currently running for reelection the my current hence hemming and his strategists have likely concluded that little benefit to weighing in on the senate repeal bill and angering one side or the other until it actually comes up for a vote may never and that calculation in raised an even bigger question about politics in the age of with the gop in ideological disarray and polarization at an can a conservative republican who prides himself on his independence from both the president and party orthodoxy still cobble together a winning coalition in a swing state like or is he just going to make everybody two years i spent a day with flake in the back of an rented ford driving across arizona from event to it seemed as it seems that his reluctance to conform to political expectations is just the way he as a young flake tried to tame his own extravagant regularly shaming earmark sponsors on the floor of the in as a he joined the bipartisan gang of eight to craft a comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship for illegal in he was the only republican who accompanied of state john kerry to cuba to preside over the reopening of the embassy after a diplomatic he advised his fellow republicans to back down on regardless of their personal and voted to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and to repeal during the he famously refused to endorse or vote for and he has continued to criticize the president for the last six months jeff is as straight a shooter as there exists in this place democratic chris murphy once said of know where jeff will end but i know it will be because made a decision on the not the refusing to follow the partisan script has never made flake especially popular at he barely edged out his democratic senate opponent richard carmona in and after revoking his support for a gun bill the following flake briefly held the lowest approval rating of any senator in the even flake ranks as one of six or seven least popular senators their from jeff patrick and minority whip richard conduct a news conference on legislation to end the travel ban on in tom roll more back in flake insisted that his flagging poll numbers would not affect his the beauty of being the he joked in years between but pretty those six years will be up and more than any other health care may determine whether flake gets to spend another six years in the irony is that in there as much partisan disagreement about obamacare as there is nationally even in most other there are two reasons for the first is that last year most insurers fled obamacare leaving virtually all enrollees with only a single choice of at the same premiums for some plans increased by the highest rate hike in the as tom a actuary for consultants milliman told the wall street journal in october arizona market is the poster child for the problems the exchanges are experiencing the second reason is that medicaid expansion has helped more than arizonans get health insurance and it has been republicans who have implemented and perpetuated that during the great former jan a staunch conservative and early trump cut the medicaid funding and froze between and adult arizonans on nearly of the childless adults in the program lost their but eventually brewer had a change of and she fought tooth and nail to push medicaid expansion through the telling her fellow republicans have to look at the you have to do the not only a mathematical issue a moral republican doug has since come out against the senate repeal bill in part by slashing federal funding for the medicaid it will prevent arizona from for the costs of providing care as a arizona politicians in less precarious positions than flake actually sound somewhat alike when it comes to obamacare regardless of which party they belong no secret that arizonans have been frustrated with obamacare over the last seven because the law has real the democratic congresswoman from maricopa tells yahoo parts of the law like the medicaid expansion are still very so the message getting in arizona love but the gop plan is lot of us both republicans and democrats in the house and senate want to find a bipartisan sinema problem is that none of us are in the audience members stand up to shout down arizona republican jeff flake during a town hall in april in ross more at a contentious mesa town hall in april his only such event of the year flake could have said something again and his constituents asked about you commit to vote against any plan that does not cover essential preexisting hospitalization and asked a woman suffering from autoimmune kidney are we going to work together across the aisle to insure these children and adults have asked the mother of a girl with cannot afford to let obamacare because without obamacare my daughter would not be able to do not understand how you can allow million americans go through life without affordable health said a military but again and flake dodged the is not sustainable in its current he said in several different needs to be it needs to be what trying to someday flake may have to get more if and when that day perhaps he can explain his concerns about the growth of entitlement perhaps he can propose a fiscally conservative way to address those concerns without the rug out from the nearly million arizonans who get their health care coverage through perhaps he can even push for the sort of bipartisan fixes he has championed on right the politics of the moment seem hostile to that kind of the question for flake is whether he can survive the current storm with his reputation as a straight shooter intact or by waiting to weigh wind up

quickly turned back to his teleprompter to continue the it was a lighthearted but telling moment for a brash candidate who has been famously undisciplined and unfiltered in his unlikely bid for the trump used to be known for his rambling stump in which he seemed incapable of not voicing every thought in his no matter who it offended or how it trump talks with his campaign kellyanne during a visit to restaurant in brook evan more but in recent under the influence of a new team of advisers including campaign manager kellyanne the candidate has shown a new devotion to staying on message relying at nearly every stop on the use of the a machine he once routinely while still known to ad trump has embraced more inclusive making direct appeals to and and he has agreed to participate in smaller events like roundtables and town which aides believe present him to voters as not only a blustery entertainer presiding over raucous rallies but also someone capable of being more and the latest iteration of the new trump has come in recent days as the gop looking to take advantage of his rival hillary time away from the political stage to recover from has sought to recast his candidacy yet again presenting himself as a more thoughtful contender who is also focused intensely on after months of offering few specifics on the policy agenda he would pursue as president and how exactly he would carry out his vague promise to america great trump has delivered two of the most detailed speeches of his campaign over the last week including childcare address and another last week

leaned republican in recent elections but with whom trump has struggled to gain ground against trump greets flood victims during a tour of homes in denham in max more but to the surprise of many republicans both close to and outside of the trump has taken steps to turn the tide as the campaign enters its final stretch and so he appears to be sticking with after a rough in which trump lost ground in the polls and was assailed by members of his own party for verbal and political including his criticism of the parents of a muslim soldier killed in the line of the candidate agreed to retool his message and his new approach is intended to redefine his image with swing voters turned off by the inflammatory rhetoric that has been criticized among other and in recent trump has taken his campaign to unlikely spots for a republican including black communities where he sought to portray himself as inclusive and a candidate of the hell have to you got to trump regularly asks minority

to visit the detroit suburb of where meet with families affected by tainted drinking with polls showing support among black voters in the single unlikely the gop candidate will win over major numbers of but his aides acknowledge the message is aimed not only at black voters but also at women and suburban swing voters who have been turned off by the divisive rhetoric portrayed by critics as inherently racist going back to his campaign when he called mexican immigrants rapists and the said one trump adviser who asked not to be has been to show that trump who critics say he and one way of proving aides is a new focus on specific policy heading into the final stretch of the campaign to prove that trump is more than just a shift in strategy trump aides say insist was pushed by the candidate himself even though trump has in the past has said he finds policy speeches boring to listen to and boring to of his policy speeches are specific roadmaps so that when people just know what they stand just attacking each not true when it comes to conway may disagree with every single policy put but at least you can read you can examine you can digest you can assess but one danger in trump suddenly pursuing a strategy is that it calls attention to how little he has actually invested in while like other presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle before has a policy shop made up of scores of experts on dozens of policy trump has a much smaller he largely relies on his chief policy stephen miller who previously worked on capitol hill for alabama jeff sessions and a

questions about the a state department spokesperson declined to comment on the involvement is only one aspect of a complex investigation that has given rise to multiple including the possibility that the health issues were caused by exotic weaponry or even just mass while work is focused primarily on understanding the type of injury causing the both he and his colleague on the call friday seemed to agree that some sort of neuroweapon was their theories for the type of device employed ranged from a such as one using to a weaponized microbe or drug designed to cause or a combination of general

james a professor of neurology and biochemistry at georgetown university during the is it possible and probable that ultrasonics can do very and is it possible and probable that electromagnetic pulse

that could be for from carey a professor of otolaryngology at the university of pittsburgh school of who worked with says there are commercial known as cots devices that could be used in such you take

be he speaking on the friday while balaban said it was unclear what type of device was the health effects seemed to indicate it in a which could result in cavitation essentially air bubbles in the inner anything the havana event is a wakeup call for we really have to take a look at these kinds of gray area neuroweapons very he yet much of the information that has come out appears to defy any singular technological one for is the noise diplomats heard was caused by pulsed which can create the perception of audible a phenomenon known as the frey or the that would be contradicted by the recordings released earlier this year by the associated press since the microwave auditory effect caused by sound writing friday in scientific american kenneth who has published on the microwave auditory called this wildly because of the energy levels that would have been actually damage the the microwaves would have to be so intense they would actually burn the which has never happened in any of these wrote a professor of bioengineering at university of foster instead speculated that a surveillance device could have inadvertently caused the injuries to a theory proposed earlier this year by university of michigan computer their theory which received widespread press is that overlapping ultrasonic devices intended to spy on diplomats inadvertently emitted sounds at a dangerous something funny going jonathan a bioethicist at the university of who is not involved in any of the medical research into the affected said in an the event itself is real or the reaction is while not enough known to make any still think the michigan theory seems the most says yet even something less exotic like a surveillance operation gone wrong has difficulty making sense of all the why would an accidental injury caused by surveillance devices leave family members in the same household how could a perpetrator target individuals as they moved around from room to as has been and an interesting twist to many of the theories is a new detail given by when diplomats opened the front the sound they heard went another critical question particularly one raised by cuban government who have vigorously denied any involvement is why would anyone want to injure one theory is that someone orchestrated the attack to fracture relations between the united states and the spying material instructions for using them and radio casting procedure which the official soviet news alleges was used by oleg a russian scientific worker accused of spying for britain and the united states in more speaking on the same call diane a senior research fellow at the national defense described these neuroweapons as something that would be highly in where an enemy would use them to have plausible using these kinds of technologies as a weapon of mass destruction is she think what we would be more likely to see as the use of this as a weapon of mass the microwave weapons claims have echoes in the in

payments to women during the federal election in a sentencing the southern district cited michael claims that donald as a presidential had directed cohen to secretly pay off two women who claimed to have had affairs with in violation of campaign finance in a lower manhattan as he pleaded with a judge for cohen cast himself as a weak man and instrument of president trump and michael cohen joshua

publishes the national which had assisted cohen by negotiating and making one of the secret paid to karen mcdougal based on a sham on the understanding that cohen would reimburse ami for the the he never actually reimbursed ami agreed to help southern district prosecutors by providing evidence in exchange for not being both cohen and ami said that the hush money which trump was involved with and knew were intended to influence the presidential election by keeping derogatory stories about trump out of the think that clearly building a said mimi a veteran of the southern district now in private practice not trying to get cohen to cooperate against ami because ami has a nonprosecution cooperation and not cooperating ami just against cohen because he has already pled so there seem to be other

immigrated to syria at the start of its civil they said this was evidence that nationality is not an effective screen for national security the judges said trump did not provide a link between

for early voting at a polling station in carlos more the big picture according to the people who are paid to forecast elections people like the maniacally detailed data journalists at fivethirtyeight democrats currently have an percent chance of flipping at least the seats they need to retake control of the house on have almost the exact same chance of maintaining their narrow majority in the the story of the last few weeks has been how the odds of these opposing outcomes have grown in forecasts incorporate recent polling as well as past voting in the historical trends and democrats are roughly nine points more likely to win the house than they were at the start of the and republicans are roughly points more likely to keep the in the wake of polarizing brett kavanaugh both sides have become more engaged and energized a development that seems to be boosting republicans in the red states that dominate this sharply skewed senate map at the same time as aiding democrats in the swing districts that define the much broader house so not if bespectacled nerds with macbooks decided the results of our elections in we have to democracy is and probabilities are not unlikely things can happen on election day the fivethirtyeight model gave donald trump a percent chance of winning the presidency two in seven which most pundits simply to keep these predictions and prognostications in useful to recall the following exchange from the american cinematic masterpiece dumb and dumber in which jim idiotic of a lloyd asks heiress mary swanson what the are a guy like you and a girl like me ending up swanson christmas not good like one out of a he say more like one out of a christmas pauses as he struggles to process this suddenly a smile spreads across his telling me a he in as in always a chance and right according to that means a percent chance of republicans retaining the house and a percent chance of democrats retaking the so what would have to happen for each of those improbable but entirely possible scenarios to play out on election start with democrats flipping the first things much ado was made early this cycle about dems having to defend senate seats in states that trump and how difficult that was going to make it for them to gain any ground but most of those seats especially in states that trump as opposed to states that always vote republican in presidential elections are looking pretty safe days sherrod answers questions during a recent jay more in sherrod brown currently leads republican challenger jim renacci by an average of percentage points in tammy baldwin leads leah vukmir by an average of in bob casey leads lou barletta by an average of and in debbie stabenow leads john james by an average of fivethirtyeight gives all of these democratic incumbents very strong odds of winning from in to in either democrats would have to win all four in any scenario that awards them control of the next just as they would have to win all three of the contests that are closer but still leaning about percent bob reelection in new jersey joe reelection in west virginia and tina special election in minnesota to replace al in each of these the democrat already leads by an average of seven to percentage points in the so not a stretch to imagine them on the flip special which pits retiring thad interim republican replacement cindy against fellow republican chris mcdaniel and democrat mike is unlikely to go blue even if fails to secure a majority in the first round and is forced into a day runoff with that leaves three other kinds of races to and seats that are leaning to win the democrats would have to sweep the first which includes some of the marquee races of joe donnelly mike braun in bill nelson rick scott in claire mccaskill josh hawley in missouri and jon tester matt rosendale in fortunately for the montana looking like the heaviest of tester leads by percentage points on and currently has a in chance of donnelly percent in chance and nelson percent in chance have a minor edge over their republican claire visits a campaign michael more mccaskill is where the path really starts to narrow for along with north where democratic heidi heitkamp is trailing republican kevin cramer by an average of points in the missouri is one of two seats that currently favor the gop or barely favor the notice that north dakota and missouri are rural plains states that trump won by wide more than points in missouri and nearly in north if democratic turnout surges and both mccaskill and heitkamp somehow manage to chances are democrats would go on to flip the senate by winning their two best pickup opportunities as arizona gop jeff flake is and nevada hillary clinton won in but if both mccaskill and heitkamp dems would have to flip all four gop tossup seats to regain control of the senate a outcome to the likelier path is a split heitkamp loses current percent and mccaskill wins current percent in that dems would be down a meaning need to flip arizona and one of the two remaining either texas or not but not moderate democratic kyrsten sinema is slightly favored over republican martha mcsally in arizona in chance in republican incumbent dean heller is ahead of his democratic jacky rosen in chance but state democrats have been known to outperform the polls in recent elections thanks to their vaunted turnout democrats beto and phil bredesen that far behind their republican rivals cruz and marsha an average of points in case and only points in the reason forecasters now give and bredesen each only a percent chance of winning is because in past tends to be prologue and democrats who are trailing in texas and tennessee tend to beat expectations on election beto the democratic challenger for the senate in at one of his campaign amanda via more so for dems to win the something unexpected is going to have to happen in at least one of those two both and bredesen claim to be atypical democratic because aiming to expand the electorate with the largest fundraising haul in senate history and bredesen because a moderate won statewide if some surprising trend starts to take shape on election day notoriously latinos show up in record both in texas and across the democratic mobilization in blue cities and purple suburbs exceeds all models then or bredesen could conceivably propel their party back into power in the but a chance the same goes for republicans holding onto the gaming out the various house scenarios is more complicated for several a lot fewer reliable polls of each a lot more contests to keep track but broadly how a republican upset could house seats are either to go democratic or that according to the nonpartisan analysts at the cook political report at the same two democratic house seats are either likely republican or leaning that if those numbers hold if in other can bank on netting seats right off the bat still need to flip an additional eight seats to win the at this most forecasters would point out that democrats have many ways to win those eight seats and that republicans have comparatively few ways to prevent or offset such this is according to there is exactly one tossup in play open first congressional along the southern where democrat dan feehan is competing with republican jim and there are only two other districts both in southern that are not rated either likely or solidly in there are currently tossups and another districts that merely a lot of pickup opportunities for dan the democratic candidate in first works a parade in in jim more so how could the gop theoretically keep the given the sheer number of competitive there would have to be some sort of systematic factor working in their favor not a quirk here or a lucky break but a pervasive trend that forecasters failed to pick up as it turns this has happened in the final national polling averages showed clinton ahead of trump by roughly four percentage she wound up winning the popular vote percent to which enough to propel her to an electoral college the polls were off by about two and almost all of them were off in the same analyst nate silver has explained why state polls tend to amplify clinton ran up the score in blue states and underperformed in the undecideds and late deciders broke for as a the data said a trump victory was improbable yet it still came to two years a gop house upset would look as amy walter recently noted about the president today basically mirror the vote for the president in the coalition that brought trump to the white

generate from the comments at earnest obama aides also defend his transparency record by pointing to the official white house petitions page where citizens can lobby their and the unprecedented publication of government data sets via the waves example is perhaps the most a genuinely worthwhile initiative that is also deeply flawed and showcases the struggle to reconcile its stated commitment to openness with typical propensity for also useful to look at because obama aides point to the waves disclosure as something his successor be able to roll back without courting a white house document defending record on transparency cites his proactive disclosure of visitor and calls this a to the bush decision to fight the disclosure in a rather rosy portrayal of the while true that his

her on track to hit the magic number as soon as the polls close in new jersey on june in light of this democratic superdelegates the party regulars who currently prefer clinton to sanders by a margin of to will not see any reason to switch sides and coronate sanders at the no matter how many times sanders insists that they and while the senator from vermont be facing off against presumptive republican nominee donald trump this he and his supporters did receive some good news about the convention earlier this on democratic national committee chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz announced that she had allowed sanders to pick five members of the platform drafting committee only one fewer than the dnc chair chooses the committee herself consultation with the white house or the winning this year she struck a deal with both campaigns to this the most representative and inclusive process in by awarding percent of the seats in proportion with the current supporters applauded the unusual claiming that the over of the platform drafting committee could potentially help to transform progressive politics for years to sanders also sounded five good members on the platform drafting the candidate told reporters monday after a rally in will be in a very strong position to fight for an economy that works for all of our not just the to fight to break up the large banks on wall who in my view now have much too much economic and political we will be in a position to fight for a carbon so that this nation can begin to lead the world in aggressively addressing climate we will be in a position to fight to have the united states join the rest of the industrialized world in guaranteed health care as a sanders even predicted that the convention could be as a telling the associated press that you want everything to be quiet and orderly and allow things to proceed without vigorous that is not what democracy is continue reading is sanders will philly really be messy because of the platform a nonbinding document that previous presidential nominees have routinely can sanders actually make a difference the answer in be yes just not in the way you to see you have to understand how the platform process first things the committee on which sanders just won a bunch of seats the platform the platform drafting the platform committee is made up of from the four from the territories and from the same pool as the it meets shortly before the convention to amend and vote on each plank of a draft platform which only becomes the actual platform if a majority of the committee and a majority of the delegates at the convention vote for the platform drafting committee assembles earlier to prepare the draft in this meeting was peaceful a gathering of likeminded barack obama loyalists in an anonymous minneapolis conference the edition will not be nearly as because sanders has already announced which planks and positions he plans to push and clinton disagree with all of them a federal minimum a tax on carbon emissions to curb climate a hard asset cap on the big banks would force them to shrink a healthcare public colleges and and a friendlier posture toward the palestinians this is where appointees come unlike establishment selections radical black intellectual cornel hardcore climate activist bill congressional progressive caucus keith muslim rights spokesperson james and native american tribal rights leader deborah parker are progressive firebrands like for rejecting and seeking to exert pressure from outside the mainstream for has described barack obama as and clinton as a at least three of five emissaries have been arrested in the past few years for acts of civil these are not they are agitators and activists unafraid of whacking the nest adept at attracting media attention whenever they they be able to singlehandedly steamroll the rest of the committee and progressive politics for years to but equally hard to imagine them coming to some sort of consensus with the clintonites or downplaying that lack of consensus in the if compromise is what sanders he named some very different sanders probably wants the platform drafting committee to become a he probably wants it to seem unsatisfactory yet another rigged establishment boondoggle that cornel west can use to rally the troops and keep them the system all the way to and sanders probably wants to stand before a microphone in the to the convention and deliver the following the platform the planks been nailed the party come if my people get their way when the platform committee meets if the final platform presented to the delegates in philadelphia reflect my policies then we will bring each and every one of them to the convention floor for a this would not be an idle according to the dnc rulebook any amendment that fails on a majority vote during the platform committee meeting can still be brought to convention floor as a if percent of the committee supports and because sanders will have approximately percent of this total pledged he will control more than percent of the platform in other sanders will have the power to force floor votes on the minimum medicare for and israel among other uncomfortable thereby transforming what could have been an infomercial about brotherly love into a in fustercluck or at least that would be the at this clinton would have to make a she will have the numbers clear majorities on the platform committee and among the delegates at large to kill but she have the numbers to silence the will preserving her vision of the platform be worth the risk of losing control of her own convention and departing philadelphia with democrats still what should be clear by now to anyone been paying attention is that sanders trying to win the trying to win as much leverage as he can before he basically said as much after tanking in the acela primary last people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as president and what the agenda of the democratic party should be sanders is why this campaign is going to the democratic national convention in philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform at least in this sanders the impractical dreamer his opponents make him out to actually a steely so his plan seems to be instead of dropping out when his path to the nomination became mathematically sanders kept driving a wedge between his supporters and depressing her general election numbers and weakening her bargaining the more clinton needs his thinking likely the more be willing to offer for this is probably why sanders is speculating about a convention and refusing to apologize for his rowdy behavior in nevada because it encourages clinton and the dnc to give him what he wants five seats on the platform drafting in the last closely contested democratic nomination clinton actually won more popular votes than her but she bailed a few days after the final primaries because there was nothing to keep fighting she and obama agreed on pretty much sanders is he always agree with he thinks his ideas are the future of the progressive and he wants and believes he deserves to leave a lasting mark on the if sanders and his supporters can define what it means to be a democrat in however nonbinding that definition may be it would validate their views and shift the center of democratic gravity even further in their the question now is whether sanders can scare clinton into letting him do trump hits the magic what does it

castro during a stop in castro flashed a toothy he shaking his who as i wrote a few years ago the buzz around castro began in in case you castro is the guy slight slick black big bashful grin barack obama handpicked to deliver the keynote address at that democratic national in the same venue that had propelled obama into the political stratosphere eight years castro was all over the news that stanford harvard elected to the san antonio city council at mayor at latino he he spoke a generation born as the cold war shaped by the tragedy of connected by the digital and he for a few news at the

more public less more green less more growth and a stronger public education above all else and later in as hud castro has always been guilelessly ambitious as mayor he talked about running for governor of texas president someday so when clinton announced her he had a decision to would he continue to toil in relative obscurity as a cabinet or would he enter the fray and compete for the vp castro chose the as politico reported in julián been spending more time reading and watching television in trying to get his speaking skills up to on the job as housing and urban development been

consider all of the balancing factors baby traditional long heritage in of a new cisneros lot of things suggest a very nice for a long cisneros was seemed like a perfect but the odds of castro joining ticket have plummeted in recent for one the clinton camp and bill clinton in particular long assumed that hillary would be facing off against florida marco rubio in choosing castro would be a crafty way to keep latino voters from defecting to the other charismatic young latino candidate on the but with rubio on the sidelines and a man who calls mexican immigrants as the gop clinton should have no

trump alternative earlier this yahoo news senior political correspondent jon ward interviewed yuval levin founding editor of national affairs about his new fractured renewing social contract in the age of watch the whole thing a fascinating conversation about the future of conservative politics and why america is paralyzed by but for convention watchers like the key part of the interview was when who is widely considered one of the most influential thinkers and discussed house speaker paul the most prominent republican leader to decline at least so far to endorse presumptive gop presidential nominee donald worth is an informal ryan seem like is inclined to embrace completely and endorse levin he is going to be under intense he is speaker of the he is going to be the chairman of the republican convention most he is in a tough spot if he want to support the try imagining a convention chaired by someone who even endorsed his says a lot about how wild this summer could wind up being as does claim that a challenge to trump and clinton is still the full you are an informal advisor to paul you know do you think that at some point as you have watched him sort of do this dance with donald trump do you think at some point he is going to have to embrace donald trump completely and endorse how do you see that playing it seem like he is inclined to embrace him completely and endorse i think he may have to vote for looking at the options he has and the alternatives he has and the obligations he has as the leader of the party in maybe the leader of the party in ryan is resisting that because he is a conservative and donald trump in a lot of ways is really making a mockery of what conservatives throughout paul lifetime and mine have been trying to work not hard to see why hard for but he also faces intense pressures that someone like me who just writes his opinion for a living just cannot possibly you said he will have to vote for him does that mean an i know how it ends up being but when you say you are going to vote for that is probably an hard to ryan has certainly resisted and i think that is to his great and so far he has managed to do he is going to be under intense he is speaker of the he is going to be the chairman of the republican convention most he is in a tough spot if he want to support the and at this in second week or so in you have a lot more states that require signatures to get on the ballot which is a big barrier for anybody that would want to run as an independent to give an alternative to trump or do you see that happening at this i think there are certainly some people working for but the obstacles to that are very high and i bet a lot on it happening right even though it does seem to me that there is a lot of and i think there is some demand but there needs to actually be a there needs to be someone who is willing to ruin their life in that particular and so far that person has not turned it would be a quixotic quest

announcement of author of the last great senate said he was skeptical about any senate minority leader chuck might think that mcconnell would change every rule of the senate if necessary to ensure that the nomination is voted shapiro referring to senate majority leader mitch the only way to defeat this nomination is by making the most comprehensive case about the constitutional rights that are at stake and the future of the court for the next senate democrats no longer have the option to torpedo kavanaugh thanks to the controversial decision to lower the longstanding threshold for supreme court nominees to a simple because democrats currently control only senate they just band together and block even they do have options and they intend to use in the days and weeks there will be

the supreme like the other she was sometimes drowned out by the raucous which included at least one activist with a loudspeaker or he for the most drowned out the particulars of that fight remain but one way or democrats will need votes in the they will only muster those votes if they can keep their own caucus which will involve making sure that senators from states trump won in heidi heitkamp of north joe manchin of west virginia and joe donnelly of indiana decide that kavanaugh is a palatable to ensure democrats and the liberal base will do everything they can to paint kavanaugh as an extremist activist who would curb the rights of women and organized while potentially protecting trump from a possible indictment by special counsel robert who is investigating ties between the trump campaign and they will then have to hope to persuade murkowski and collins to join them in opposing they can also try to wait until the november though chances of regaining the senate are not seen as

unacceptable to democrats because he or she would threaten two existing rights that poll well with a majority of the right to health care coverage for people with preexisting conditions established in

their worst fears and only strengthened their resolve to extract real answers from own writings make clear that he would rule against reproductive rights and and that he would welcome challenges to the constitutionality of the affordable care schumer said in a statement will oppose judge nomination with everything i to that senate democrats hope to pin down kavanaugh on abortion and obamacare during his confirmation then use whatever he reveals to pressure one of the republicans to vote against assuming that ailing arizona john mccain retains his seat yet remains in arizona on extended

nomination was a but he cautioned against making it the centerpiece of the resistance to matters now is the constitutional rights of he seeming to suggest that kavanaugh would be willing to abrogate those supreme court confirmations typically take about two months from nomination to and the republicans are eager to seat kavanaugh on the court by the time its next session begins in kavanaugh will head to the senate judiciary committee for the first step in the confirmation democrats on the committee can gum up the works in several according to sarah a senior fellow in governance studies at the brookings institution and professor of political science at george washington where she specializes in congress and legislative president trump talks with kavanaugh and his family in the east room of

rules of procedure if eight of the democrats on the committee refuse to show its could conceivably grind to a halt at least until republicans figure out how to suspend the another judiciary committee

the democrats on the committee in register an objection to voting on recommendation and that each successive objection could delay the vote for to a in recent mcconnell urged trump not to select kavanaugh for this very according to the new york times concerned about of of documents that kavanaugh has created in his years on the circuit bench as well as in his roles as white house staff

opportunity to delay until october or beyond as they demand more time to scour his paper at some binder believes that republicans would put in motion a discharge which would bypass the judiciary

a specialist in filibustering and legislative in any delay from last final said would be to by that she means they could pledge to on the nomination itself if forced to on future republican the senate usually operates under consent between the majority and minority parties that speed business but any one senator can object to these agreements and slow things to a the immediate is that withholding consent halt senate business it typically works for just a few days a week at so the idea that mcconnell would be deterred by such maneuvering is highly improbable as is the idea that democrats could sustain any of these blockades until after the midterms and perhaps even until a new senate is seated in at the same a bigger problem to the more extreme the procedural the more political risk it heitkamp and donnelly and the other seven democratic incumbents up for reelection in states trump won might agree to stick with their fellow dems and vote against reasoning that rather lose a few

required the state to maintain the the state has done a poor job running and sustaining the while we are looking into various it is my sincere hope that going the state will exercise greater

manhattan for a reported two million with plans to build a private golf but trump get approval from the towns of putnam valley or yorktown and wound up donating the land to new york state in he

little starting in nothing unusual about the crawford told yahoo problem of course here is that the donation of land was made but there was no additional cash gift made in order to maintain or create

michael more scholarship focuses on wealth transfer taxation and property she said people who are serious about establishing open space parks that the public can use in meaningful ways often make substantial cash contributions as well to fund the as for how much money trump it would depend on what valuation the irs accepted for the the figure of million was unofficial for public another variable is whether he personally owned the property or purchased it via a entity like an crawford explained that if it were owned through an llc that was ignored for income tax which is not a million donation would have saved trump about million in it seems unlikely that the irs would accept a million appraisal of land that was sold for a few million dollars at fair market value in the david a professor of law at brooklyn law school who focuses on real estate finance and community said he doubt that trump got an appraisal that the to price it as high as a move that is not he said possible that trump got an appraisal that determined he would make more money by donating the land than he would by selling and it have to be as high as he claimed it was worth million and he bought it for two

compiled one of the most liberal voting records in the senate a record on which he proudly according to the data journalists at brown votes with trump only percent of the time roughly percent less often than you would expect based on how strongly ohio supported trump in the score in the entire for defying the odds is nothing as a buzzfeed profile put it the senator has a fierce populism and unapologetic progressive ideals to repeatedly win local and state elections even as ohio has trended increasingly won in cities and rural old manufacturing hubs and college diverse districts and mostly white and now won times in first elected to the house in brown secured reelection two years later by picking off workers previously backed ross presidential in running for a second senate he

serve as a road map for some other hope the message that i win with the dignity of work and whose side are you on gets into the national he recently told plenty of my colleagues want to be president a lot more than i to that brown has released a suite of populist policy proposals that would strengthen key labor standards to reflect an economy that increasingly relies on alternative work arrangements and he just raise the minimum wage and require paid sick days and paid family he would also expand collective bargaining he would ensure that alternative workers get benefits and he would crack down on employers that force people to work off the refuse to pay the minimum deny overtime take or knowingly misclassify workers to avoid paying fair finally and perhaps most potently brown would implement what he calls a and approach to big companies that slash labor costs to pad their are going to cut taxes on the largest corporations and the wealthiest people in the the senator has explained think those companies that pay a living wage and provide health benefits and retirement benefits and outsource their they should get a lower tax but the companies that pay or so that their

their other around a set of reforms that might help them withstand a economy that has rapidly and ruthlessly turned against black or gay or or but if divided results demonstrated going such an approach may be the surest way for democrats to succeed again in states like ohio that have been trending to stymie trump in purple states like wisconsin and and perhaps to win back the white our country our our democratic my fellow elected officials all over the country let them all cast their eyes toward the to the industrial to our great lakes brown said in his victory speech tuesday showed

history of going all the way back to the what have we really learned to this point about the ties between president campaign and the and what does it tell my former colleague david no fan of wrote thoughtfully on this subject a few days in a column titled not get carried away brooks argued that at least as of which is an important caveat all the leaks and revelations about the trump campaign actually turned up any evidence of collusion with russian hackers looking to influence last if paraphrasing brooks trump has played right into the hands of his many critics in foolishly trying to discredit or even impede an investigation that probably leads and in doing all managed to do is crank up the modern machinery of scandal which can whir away for years in a search for something anything that rises to the level of a i tend to agree with this unless the special robert mueller has unearthed something we know not much here to suggest that trump himself had any idea of what the russians were up or that any of his advisers were actively coordinating with foreign the closest thing we have to a crime right now is sleazy attempt to influence and then destroy the fbi director and even that feels less like obstruction of justice than like the clueless machinations of a land developer who thought he could push around the justice department as he would an unaccommodating city in the if republicans are going to argue that the whole russia fiasco has nothing to do with and is really just a story of incompetence and greed among a few cowboy operatives working for the then they have to acknowledge something which is that this version of events further obliterates the entire premise of not to mention his principal rationale for having supported him in the first republicans in washington never labored for a minute under the illusion that trump knew anything about governance or even shared their bedrock what they settled when they finally embraced his was that the country could use a ceo who knew how to run a this is what trump himself kept the best people what he if i had a dime for every conservative insider and voter who told me last year that trump would surround himself with all the sharpest minds and most experienced hands build a exorbitantly expensive hotel and stick my name in fake gold at the become abundantly is that trump run his campaign like a shrewd corporate titan with a keen eye for he ran it like a easily played by anyone who knew how to stroke his so maybe the best and brightest exactly knocking down the door at trump tower last maybe the jim bakers and condoleezza rices of the world wanted nothing to do with trump at that but that supposed to be superpower getting people to you think he would have sought out those folks and determined the price of their the way a great negotiator he turned to misfits and marginal he hired paul a consultant lately been doing shady work in ukraine for a dubious he turned to michael a former general with conspiratorial tendencies and murky relationships with foreign he collected people like carter page the gadfly foreign policy aide who in if a russian these guys used trump for the purposes of their overseas friends and just four years after the last republican nominee had called russia the greatest threat to american the new nominee was praising vladimir while russian spies hacked his the only thing republicans can really argue is that trump he was new to the political how could he have guessed that manafort was so how could he have known that flynn being according to the testimony of james comey the now deposed fbi trump later said he wanted to know if any of these advisers had betrayed him their only he because even after trump had given flynn one of the most vital and sensitive posts in american foreign and even after trump had been personally warned by his predecessor and his justice department that flynn was a blackmail risk he did he personally lobbied comey to leave flynn and even after flynn has been publicly disgraced and faces legal jeopardy for the conflicts he failed to trump is said to be ruminating on a way to bring him the president may not have been complicit in this dirty foreign and are the words that come to none of this should surprise because the whole theory was always just a wishful with zero basis in trump in a interview with cnbc in offered a truer sample of his management hear so many i want my people to be smarter than i a lot of you want to be smarter than your if he certainly is making it look possible give him white like his has nothing to do with recruiting and everything to do with making the president feel loved and just this whose collective expertise is limited to buying a bunch of buildings in manhattan with family gave a little speech about reorganizing the federal just before jetting off to the middle east in a bid to broker world peace the since trump so admires the house of worth pointing out that the saudi king just ousted his crown prince in favor of his if i were mike i might take this opportunity to spend some quality time with the trump continues to moan privately about the dysfunction and incompetence among

discussion by clinton if hillary loses the golden state primary an outcome that would encourage sanders to keep battering her from the left all the way to the convention in philadelphia brown could shoot to the top of her the most important thing for clinton at that point would be persuading progressives to trust her and to turn out in tapping brown would be the quickest way to do the fact that he also has some serious assets ohio chops would only heighten his if clinton wins then all bets are in that sanders would probably bow out shortly after the final democratic in washington on june and clinton may start to pivot toward the picking someone like mark warner or tim both of would hit some of the same notes as picking brown swing and so on without yanking the ticket to the left just in time for the it would also help clinton avoid the main drawback of plucking brown from the the fact that gop john would almost certainly imperil the potential majority by appointing a republican to

hanging out with bernie wife jane they talked about a lot of printer don donald but for our purposes here at the most interesting moments were when jane talked about endgame why the press should wait

the colorful shirt that she bought on a campaign trip to puerto rico ahead of the june primary she worries briefly that wolf blitzer might actually ask her about gorillas but instead most of their conversation is about another topic that frustrates her the math of the can her husband possibly win a large enough percentage of the june vote to overcome hillary delegate in she takes cnn to task for including superdelegates in their think cnn and msnbc should listen to the communications director of the dnc when she says count those superdelegates before they she pledged delegates behind secretary and it is a steep but the fact is won a number of a number of by large and if he somehow does that well in he could lead in the pledged delegate if the she superdelegates might change their but she quit before the final vote is the segment but she waits to have an unaired word with include those superdelegates and pronounce her the nominee immediately after new jersey she warns meaning three hours before voting ends in california on count those superdelegates until they actually vote on july jane on why superdelegates knew nothing about the democratic primary at the start of this she since both she and her husband are both has been a real and we need to reform that electoral not from a point of but for the if it were a we would have been complaining all just taking not i all this count the superdelegates actually she just clarifying the larger existential reason for those delegates in the first purpose of the superdelegates is supposedly to make sure the right person gets the she her husband disagrees that such a mechanism should and if he were designing the rules they would but since they she they should be permitted to actually do that are the insurance she our question are they the insurance policy for the establishment candidate or are they the insurance policy for the democratic and jane on the new group that bernie will launch after the back at the jane is talking about what happens after her husband does not take his talk of a she and win or lose he and his circle intend to use the clout from this campaign to keep pushing their that means marshaling the lists and infrastructure built during the past year into some sort of organized not just about winning the about changing our country to have it be what we all want it to be and know it can she want an really organized group of people helping support moving it in the direction of the issues that talked and if not the it will be him leading that leading that been spending some time noodling

going to vote for trump came away from the oregon convention with all of the delegates earned in the may primary but not all them were selected because of their undying love for the state republican party treasurer chris a former cruz ran to protect the gop platform in state bill another cruz was mainly hoping to attract money for local legislative more concerned about post always been my nine of delegates were elected from a unity slate endorsed by both the trump and cruz campaigns the story was much the same in new hampshire and according to the associated one at the meeting publicly criticized trump or suggested republicans back republicans in the gem state also the according to idaho statesman reporter bill dentzer the national party message of unity against a common foe the is focused on november and making sure we beat hillary said state brent only in georgia did any republicans back in cruz allies outmaneuvered trump by winning a majority of the delegates up for grabs at

reform agenda from trump criticism as the speaker unveils each piece over the next three goal is to spend this summer and this fall talking with our fellow citizens about these about these about these ryan if ryan is attempting to insulate his policy agenda and tie trump to then his endorsement of trump was also a concession to political ryan does not want to be blamed in any way for a trump because it would give oxygen to the forces that have created many political insiders of both parties see trump as a fool or or and republicans who hope or expect him to fail are mostly trying to get out of his way so that they can pick up the pieces after he loses the election this fall to and despite endorsement of he will also likely do as little as possible to support his a ryan aide told

period of mccarty we changed the there would be these long sessions of congress between the november elections and the march the ratified in moved the start of congressional terms from march to house speaker paul ryan announces he will not seek reelection in april aaron more the unusual nature of sessions is why mccarty suspects there may be some pressure on ryan to resign and allow for a quicker on the other he it took three weeks to replace boehner because of infighting among the republican many the person the party settled on was suspect that might still be so they might have a difficult

for modern american others speakers have stepped down abruptly amid scandals newt bob or when their party has lost control john she history provide us with a great roadmap for what to expect going one possible path for binder is continuing to fight for republican control of the which would include fundraising and trying to persuade his fellow republicans from but she said there are questions about how effective he can be at that since just waved the white flag and jumped even though postponed the jumping of the another she is for ryan to significantly distance himself from house speaker john

depends in part on what he sees as his binder david director of the center for congressional and presidential studies and government professor at american also thinks ryan will be less lame ducks always because people will rightly recognize that he will not have direct power or the ability to punish or reward will not have this is especially true if he does start really speaking his mind in a way that does not reflect pure loyalty to the partisan tribe or to the more he gets off his the less power he will have within the barker ryan may simply think that the gop is going to lose the house and has no interest in being minority and he is surely tired of the same thing that other retiring republicans such as trey are having to defend the barker but it could also be the byproduct of either satisfaction or that he was able to push through the biggest tax cut in history which is the sort of thing that has really animated him or frustration over what is happening on the spending side on his he might be ready to give or at least not want to shoulder any more blame for what will happen to the house speaker paul aaron more barker ryan may decide to start speaking depending on his next straying from the party line may salvage his reputation more possibly barker said this could set himself up for a better book a better media deal or a place within the party after the trump matt a historian at george washington graduate school of political said the major downside to announcement is that from the republican perspective he has essentially despite claims that he will continue to raise money and defend republican announcement could result in a decline in gop morale and bolster the popular narrative that they are barely holding on and will likely lose their majority in you have a leader who is able to maintain the fire under his or her troops and a bad environment but we have all these you can maintain but if very hard for him to be the voice that inspires dallek significant in all these sorts of and makes it harder for republicans to not just on what they have but what they are going to what would they do in the next given they have this leadership unclear what their agenda would mark senior fellow at the government affairs institute of georgetown said not a surprise that ryan announced he be speaker next congress the only surprise is that it was he said this great news for the republicans but that ryan can rightfully say the early announcement is for the good of the jacquelyn more there are already reports that majority whip steve scalise and majority leader kevin mccarthy have been quietly courting republicans in the event that ryan harkins said speculation about their interest in his job may have forced ryan to act an attempt to bring this out from the shadows and let everybody be above his announcing that not going to stand for speaker next time allows scalise and mccarthy the ability to solicit their colleagues without feeling that going behind speaker that actually helps the party a lot in making this all above harkins harkins said ryan may also be thinking about the fate of his own congressional the filing date in wisconsin is june he already has a democratic challenger so if he cares about keeping the seat in republican hands he needed to announce now so other republicans could line up to run for his stepping down mean out of politics he may be preparing for a gubernatorial race in his purple home state or angling for a presidential if the latter is by either trump will be or a democratic president will be running for

getting his the question is whether he can make it matt bai national political columnist december back in when he was contemplating a career in public chris christie got some advice from a political science professor that he never told gonna run for public better become a good christie told me this only way people follow you is if you listen to and a leader without followers is just a guy out for a by that you could say that presidential for most of this year has been a long stroll in the damaged by the infamous bridge scandal in new his approval ratings at home christie come near double digits in the polling from new where spent more time this year than any other for a guy who was once the biggest draw and whose potential candidacy loomed over the rest of the republican field in the biggest humiliation came just last when he found himself excluded from the main debate stage in outpolled by the likes of rand paul and mike i asked as he sat across from me tuesday in a conference room at saint anselm if been surprised by his lack of success throughout the summer and early more than anything he you let that frustration dominate then you become someone unhappy in this and i never wanted to be someone who would do this as an unhappy you i enjoy doing and enjoying it makes me better at when enjoying christie you know what i kept saying to myself is know good at so just got to be patient with and part of having the early success that i did is that it runs counter to so you have to grow christie could afford to reflect a this being his best week as a hands he was a changed man from the reeling governor i wrote about for my first political world column almost two years when he gave me his first interview after the fort lee bridge scandal and more than the guy sat with me in his kitchen on the eve of his first trip to new hampshire last campaign got a perverse at least in terms of media from the terrorist attacks in which breathed new urgency into the intelligence and national security issues he likes to talk about as a former mass shooting in san bernardino seems likely to intensify the focus on domestic even absent a definitive link to any terrorist then came the surprising and endorsement of the new hampshire union leader last marathon town hall a hallmark of his best days as new are starting to take on the feel of john legendary performances in when the arizona senator surged from nowhere to win the state by clips of emotive riffs about his or about his fear that his wife might have been killed in the twin have been going viral for of none of this has yet translated into any sustained rise in ppp poll out today shows christie leaping into double digits in new the first indication that the union leader endorsement may have some and even christie seemed to be wondering if he was finally about to break or if he was just taking his turn under the lights like everyone voters in new hampshire have been rifling through candidates this year like promising finds on the clearance rack at jeb scott carly ben carson john kasich and more recently marco rubio and ted have all had their moments in the and all have been returned to the pile who became the first continue reading the most influential republicans remain and despite all the jitters about been no perceptible shift toward one rival candidate or definitely happening for christie in new hampshire right the in this strange election is that something and whether still be talking about it in a couple of the best way to think about the republican primary contest right if you entirely given up trying to make sense of it is as the of what we saw in at about this time four years you will the clear establishment candidate was mitt but the republican electorate had never really warmed to and after the tea party takeover of congress in all the energy was with the grassroots ideologues who were determined to derail him with a candidate of their the problem for the republicans is that they were and as they spent an awful lot of time and energy fighting viciously over who that candidate should by as the iowa caucuses romney was topping out at the in most which made him eminently but the rest of the republican electorate was almost evenly divided among newt rick santorum and ron in the santorum played romney to a draw in iowa and got a huge but it was paul who came closest in new and then it was gingrich who won outright in south the insurgent candidates split their and romney rolled to the turn that scenario inside and you could be looking at now the celebrity heir to the tea party consistently polling in the to high nationally impressive for a populist far less so for a party carson and vying for support of the same disaffected lag none of which would pose an insurmountable challenge for the governing wing of the at the end of the if it had an obvious the problem is that in a field that has now narrowed to a mere there are at least four christie and kasich who can be considered serious establishment in new where the governing wing will almost certainly have to make its those four candidates have been bunched together rubio slightly out in dividing among themselves all the local support and media attention a candidate needs to really separate some analysts look at this situation and conclude that trump is almost certain to be the in the same way that romney easily vanquished his divided but what i think generally establishments behave the way tea parties the party loyalists who make up an establishment tend to come together and coalesce around a likely why we call them so the race in new hampshire right now is all about who can persuade the mainstream electorate that the guy who can unify the party and stop why rubio is trotting out the endorsements of his fellow why kasich is attacking trump and casting himself as the one candidate who has the brass to take on the and why the union leader endorsement would seem to matter this even if newspaper endorsements generally are about as useful as the the most influential conservative institution in the state giving its stamp of approval to at a moment when a lot of republican voters are anxious for someone to emerge from the chris christie at a meeting this week in jim moment is a long time and it says something about his political skill and sheer when he entered the race formally back in a lot of my colleagues in the media and a lot of his colleagues in the party had already written him all anyone remembered about at that was the bridge in the parlance of his were meaning that more people had a bad impression of christie personally than a good being well liked is kind of important in unless your last name is trump or christie set out to do what he does which is to reach voters on an emotional hosted town halls in new hampshire since and while that done much to lift the poll numbers most people look those numbers tell only part of the by the middle of last according to a poll conducted by npr favorable rating in new hampshire was up to percent percent in while the number of people who retained an unfavorable impression of him had dropped from percent to by during that same bush and kasich had seen their favorable numbers drop to the point where they were both more the latest ppp poll from new hampshire now shows christie with the highest favorability rating of any more than percent of the voters have a favorable impression of compared with percent who what this means to christie is in new hampshire at the bridge scandal no longer defines it will always be a part of my he told me this will always be a part of my not happy about but the it happened on my got to be accountable for on the other certainly nothing front of mind and for a long time it was front of for me and for front of mind for christie in the wake of the paris attacks and perhaps san bernardino is at a town hall at a firehouse outside concord monday where by my rough estimate he drew more than christie spoke for minutes before saying a single word about domestic what i watching that is in a strange the paris attacks have unleashed christie to do what comes most naturally to which is to tell a compelling not that he has any great plan for how to combat isis or safeguard american what christie does have is a personal story about his own experience with terrorism and victims in his new jersey about his years as a attorney and about a country that in his become complacent and the greatest strength i bring to the the history and the ability to make decisions in this realm without getting the hard one thrown by christie told i think a lot of presidents run the risk of and i just think that i would on because been through so much of it before and heard and dealt with the lingo and the egos and all the but he also agreed that the issue of terrorism is a prism through which voters can get to know think that foreign policy is all at first the personality of the people executing that foreign he said to me one policy is all about courage and everything else can be part of the challenge for christie here and for other governing candidates in the race is that voters this year just seem to care very much about records or or at least not i mentioned to him a trend this year that has confounded me and many who generally made for the best candidates over the past half century or seem to be flailing this time nine current or former governors have been in the race on the republican of three rick perry and bobby jindal were the first to leave the republican not a single governor is polling in double christie shook his head at governors who have dropped out earned he a little earned dropping your performance this stuff happen by coincidence or by the people still standing are the people who are the best at in christie has been making an overt case for executive while throwing a few punches at his opponents notably rubio he tells audiences that is new is but in serious times you need a serious he tells them that the last thing they need is a new president who sits down in the oval office on his first day and i wondered if that was entirely fair to who after in federal and whom consider part of the governing he has no experience christie shot had five years in the united states and for a good amount of that time been running for so i was he saying that rubio reminded him of a certain democratic christie christie was more circumspect when it came to with whom he is trying to avoid the kind of entanglement that worked especially well for his a few days after christie had categorically rejected story about new jersey muslims celebrating on trump fired off some nasty tweets about in i reminded trump had is chris christie running the state of new which is deeply when he is spending all of his time in christie seemed to twitch just a but his voice remained never been a christie think have no christie is the kind of more like a bill clinton than a barack who loves the brinkmanship of politics and thinks deeply about the near the end of our i asked him to talk a bit about how he saw the race playing out from a little to my he the way christie sees there will be room for only four to six candidates to emerge intact from the voting in iowa and new that means maybe two of the governors in the race will be able to move on from at that will be a lot of christie borrowing a word i had he reminded me that only three of the republican governors had endorsed anyone to this point for one for and suggested that they might play a pivotal after the early in swinging the party behind an eventual wing of the party has not yet asserted itself in any significant he told they how will that affect the in new where his campaign is clearly on the christie has a simple hang he says the data from past campaigns shows that as many as seven in voters make up their minds until the last two for he just wants to be in the for most which is a phrase new hampshirites born to their privilege as presidential winnowers use a the low poll numbers discourage fret too much about christie the beginning i i would why we getting any what am i and then i finally concluded that i missing not ready to next week some poll comes he i gotten some big bump from the union leader endorsement or the other activist not like going to go stick my head in the going to go back to new hampshire next week and keep grinding it main it seems to is that he in some more like trump than his christie has yes with mixed results that we could argue about all day and into the night but he is also a born what trump has discovered this year or maybe what he helped the rest of us discover is the disturbing nexus that now exists between campaigns and between political theater and governing christie lives firmly on the reality side of that but he is more comfortable than any other serious politician in the field with the in his town he has always been part part facilitator and part tv in a way that can seem spontaneous even when been deliberately honed and and this is probably at a moment when the other candidates who scream seem somehow out of their time and christie may yet be finding a way to make the message said this to and say it to you on the christie told is a game of you just want to get voted off the what you want is to continue to be in there and continue to be relevant and continue to christie is for as long as it know soon enough if the moment is leading him or if just a guy out for a home mail

may use the nuclear deterrence may have been a viable option but no longer the in my relying on the nuclear weapons of the other nations means we could be the target of a nuclear weapons he believe japan should take advantage of its position as the only nation experienced the atomic we follow the position of the and other nuclear in young japanese terribly interested in politics and fully understand why trump is he heard that americans living in japan expected large protests when trump arrived but he that masaaki of stands near the atomic bomb memorial mound in peace memorial michael more are seeing a superficial image of trump and his momentum and think seriously about the details of the he murakami is also frustrated with attempts to change the he thinks abe is trying to capitalize on the positive image that the japanese have of the sdf thanks to their disaster relief and rescue just down the motoyasu at the other end of the was the office of kenji director of the hiroshima peace memorial shiga said the exhibitions were intended to be not evoking a range of when asked if nuclear abolition was too shiga affirmed his belief that humankind can one day eliminate nuclear weapons from this reason i think we can eliminate nuclear weapons from the world is i believe in the intelligence of human we have a similar experience in the humans have eliminated and gotten rid of weapons like poisonous gas and land shiga with perhaps a touch more optimism than recent history humans have been making a certain effort for a long period of now the united nations is also making an effort with the nuclear weapons ban sure such efforts will continuously be memories of nagasaki the next i boarded the bullet train for a trip to where the second and final atomic bomb used in war exploded on takashi met me at the nagasaki atomic bomb museum wearing a windbreaker with peace emblazoned across the he is active in his takashi a survivor of the atomic bombing of talks to yahoo news journalist michael walsh about nuclear weapons while looking at a replica of fat the bomb detonated over nagasaki in august michael more he lived about kilometers from the hypocenter and was years old when the dropped the bomb nicknamed fat he had been playing on the road near his house in the hot summer sun when he noticed a strong flash that made him look up to the two seconds he heard a calamitous sound and thought that a star had fallen from the his teacher had just taught him about stars before summer he also remembered his teacher told him if a bombing occurred that he should take cover under his but he was so he knelt on the streets and covered his about seven seconds the blast swept through the street and threw him against the wall of his was scared and i know what to i was my mother called my and i told her i was not able to kado mother ran to she grabbed my arm and pulled me into the kado heard a voice bellow over the neighborhood enemy is the enemy is grabbing a backpack with emergency such as a that he always kept near the front he and his mother took off toward the community an walk from his they passed many elderly people in the street whom they were unable to mother wiped their faces with her apron and told them she was sorry but that she needed to escape as that is a very tragic history for one young he as we walked through the kado shared a string of memories from life during the sound of american planes during the frequent air the hunger from the food shortage and the image of his mother praying that the bombs would not strike their commuters travel to work using the nagasaki electric michael more before parting i asked kado what he thinks about the current north korea he said that japan should become friends with north korea and work together to foster he said more people need broader minds something severely lacking in north korean leader kim jong is kim jong un is a crazy so that is the honest opinion about north it is he research center for nuclear weapons abolition the research center for nuclear weapons abolition at nagasaki university only a cab ride from the nagasaki atomic bomb museum was founded in inspired by speech in prague about commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear recna has three main to analyze and circulate information on the significance of the atomic bombing propose actions that could lead to the abolition of nuclear and cultivate a new generation of storytellers to share the experiences of the hibakusha when tatsujiro the director of said japan faces what dubbed a along with its desire for deterrence and japan needs to address its stockpile of which is the largest of any nonnuclear state and amounts to nuclear japan has been developing civilian nuclear energy since by recycling spent nuclear fuel to recover the nation wanted an nuclear fuel because it barely has any natural tatsujiro the director of the research center for nuclear weapons abolition at nagasaki in his michael more people are suspicious of accumulation of only kilograms are necessary to make a now japan has so a suzuki though japan has committed to not making any nuclear weapons and this plutonium only has civilian this huge supply makes japan vulnerable to international suzuki thinks japan should have supported the treaty prohibiting the possession and threat of nuclear he said a good time for japan to shift to a security policy that does not rely on nuclear recna is devoted to a specific policy goal of establishing a zone among three countries in northeast south north korea and then russia and the united states would provide negative security which means they would agree not to attack or threaten to use nuclear weapons against those three north korea has not accepted invitations to join these is no evidence that deterrence this is about the current if nuclear deterrence perfectly why would we have to worry about north we have them dependence on deterrence does not have i would ask you believe in nuclear why are you worrying suzuki argued that abe is pushing japan toward militarism and that the security laws passed last year are he said enabling the sdf to collaborate with the all over the world violates article and that the clause limiting their deployment to situations threatening survival is too nagasaki university students hanako misuoka and jo both have been involved with recna while studying at nagasaki they stopped by the center to share their thoughts as young japanese concerned with nuclear from saga studies education but want to become a she wants to establish an education reform organization because she thinks japanese education curricula are too biased and that students rarely get the whole from is preparing for a recruitment exam for the ministry of foreign he wants to work on nuclear weapon issues and cultivate understanding between different cultures through they said the japanese public is almost evenly split between people favoring nuclear abolition and people who want to maintain mostly against north but for their they favor signing the controversial japan becomes a signatory of the treaty it will boast some influence on other misuoka she said she had an opportunity to teach at an elementary school a few days earlier and was surprised that none of her students had heard of the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons which was awarded the nobel peace prize this nagasaki university students hanako misuoka and jo both share a few laughs on michael more both students said they harbor no ill will toward americans for the atomic bombings and that more important to work toward peace and nuclear abolition today than dig up old we did something bad to each we did pearl you did the atomic but the war is takeda history is important but the current issue is more we need to cooperate with each other to prevent another we have to remember but i blame american people both students appreciated trip to hiroshima and said it had long been a wish among survivors for a sitting president to they said visiting hiroshima or nagasaki goes a long way in raising a awareness of nuclear my i be interested in nuclear weapon issues if i come to i think important for people from nuclear weapons states and under a nuclear umbrella to come to hiroshima and takeda misuoka wishes that abe would stand up to trump and encourage him to pursue more diplomatic methods of resolving we look at obama and trump it seems that obama is committed to peace and that trump is trying to increase the military capability and insists on prime minister say to anything that trump is part iii pride nagasaki defense today i took the nagasaki tramcar to meet hiroharu the director of the crisis management division for the nagasaki prefectural he greeted me at his office wearing a lapel with the japan and flags side by that had been given to him by a captain in the seventh which is headquartered in roughly miles south of aoki was an officer with the sdf until two years division is preparing with the national government for a missile attack drill scheduled for the first of its the national government already sends warnings of terror attacks or natural disasters to local media and citizens via email and hiroharu the director of the crisis management division in nagasaki looks at a map in his office that shows the range of north korean michael more a very outstanding mission to be able to protect the peace and independence of the and the lives of the aoki have worked in the sdf for years after graduating from the national defense academy of and my son is also an very proud of for the new abe laws are simply the legal basis for japan to contribute to peace and security on a level comparable to its he said that although the national government and sdf have set up ballistic missile defense for potential individual preparedness among such as access to is the resident it is not easy to set up a so we can have a drill and call for an evacuation and encourage citizens to be ready for an he aoki keeps a map of east asia on his wall with concentric circles rippling out from each circle represents north potential reach with various given its location in southwestern japan on the island of nagasaki is close to the korean talking to aoki reveals his sense of duty and desire to defend his prefecture and after leaving his i took a cab to nagasaki airport to catch a japan airlines flight back to tokyo with a newfound appreciation for the pride that men and women of the sdf feel for contributing to security alongside the united former minister of defense gen who served as the minister of defense under abe from december to august is now a member in the house of the lower house of the national his across the street from the national diet building in is decorated with graceful japanese as well as photographs from his extensive career in politics and the nakatani used to train the force rangers and said he still knows going on in the every he he participates in parachute training with current which helps build a sense of unity in their mission to the country gen a former minister of defense for talks to yahoo news journalist michael walsh about the threat of north korea in his tokyo michael more according to time to place sanctions and other forms of pressure on north korea because it has already broken its promises to stop pursuing nuclear weapons after the japan and the united states are in agreement on that conducted six nuclear weapons the latest nuclear size was about times larger than the hiroshima atomic nakatani we will not allow such provocative threats to the international on an unprecedented scale and threatens the entire this is a great and immediate concern for in order to protect the japanese he the sdf will keep working with the to make sure it can intercept north korean attacks with and and will in other respects have the right defense system in this was one of the topics discussed by trump and he he added that the alliance is the most important international agreement to secure peace and stability throughout a view of the national diet which contains both houses of bicameral in michael more nakatani said japan will continue to advocate strongly for nonproliferation of nuclear weapons but that threats from north china and russia make it necessary for japan to rely on the united nuclear he said the treaty on the of nuclear weapons was established with the understanding that the the france and china are nuclear weapon states and that dramatically disrupting the current world order could be he was also grateful that trump met with families of japanese citizens who have been abducted by north abduction of japanese citizens by north korea the abduction issue is a major roadblock for korea during the and many japanese citizens disappeared under strange japanese authorities concluded through subsequent investigations that north korea was involved and brought the issue up at every chance since in north korea admitted that it had abducted these returned five and promised to but there are still many points of contention between the the motivations behind the abductions are not clear in all but the japanese government says north korea had at least three reasons for these north korean agents could steal the identities of the abducted japanese victims could be forced to teach north korean spies japanese language and culture and victims could be recruited for the terror which infamously hijacked japan airlines flight in the japanese government official recognizes people as abducted since but some suspect there were hundreds of the north korean on the other claims there were only victims and that eight have died and five have been returned thus resolving the japan says that north korea has not produced any credible objective evidence corroborating the claim that the remaining missing persons have cases like the abduction of megumi tokota from niigata prefecture in are well known in her pictures were prominently displayed on the walls of the shinjuku subway station in tokyo while i was on shinjuki rail station prominently displayed a large image of megumi who was abducted by north korea in when she was a junior high school michael more the japanese government maintains that it will not normalize diplomatic relations with north korea until the abduction issue is i met with masahide the director for the office for the assistance of the abductees and their family to discuss recent developments on this during our adachi and members of his staff were wearing blue a symbol of hope that one day the abductees will return he pointed out that abe has been referring to these abductions at various international meetings and conferences since taking he said the japanese government urged trump to meet with the families of abductees and that it take long for him to think awareness of this issue in the united states has been on the rise partly because of the nuclear missile issue of north and human rights issues are of course important for the he in trump became the first sitting president to refer to the abduction issue during a speech to the general although obama and bush had met with some family invitations went to every family member for each victim and people in total were able to the families met with trump and were able to get close to him they were only supposed to talk for minutes but it wound up being adachi stayed focused and listened to what each family member he shared their feelings and was very he said meeting the president is not the end goal and that it mean much if it help resolve the but it was the president of the united the most influential nation in the entire met with the family members and was very compassionate meant a he adachi said he also hopes the international pressure building around north development of nuclear technologies will make kim resolve the abduction when asked if he would support any use of force to rescue the remaining adachi said the policy is to continue pursuing dialogue and applying government will continue to do its adachi we are right now resembles what went on in when five abductees came back to center for the promotion of disarmament and hirofumi tosaki is a senior research fellow at the center for the promotion of disarmament and which is dedicated to achieving the goal of world but he supports the japanese position of not signing the united nations hirofumi a senior research fellow at the center for the promotion of disarmament and explains his issues with the united treaty on the prohibition of nuclear michael more during our conversation at the tokyo which is part of the japan institute of international a think tosaki argued that adopting the treaty without the cooperation of states would merely exacerbate the divisions between nuclear states and nonnuclear as well as between nonnuclear states under and outside of nuclear he also said the treaty is unlikely to lead to disarmament although he would like concrete steps to promote tosaki thinks erratic relationships with north china and russia make the nuclear umbrella until threats have been reduced he is sympathetic to the hibakusha and ngos calling on the government to support the but he said their arguments accepted by the ruling some opposition or the general understand that nuclear weapons are very inhumane weapons but because of their destructive power they work as a tosaki tosaki explained that proponents of the ban treaty do not expect it to make a significant dent in nuclear stockpiles they he trying to reframe the narrative around humanitarian concerns by stigmatizing on the other favors a through which states take simultaneous and parallel steps to break through the current disarmament in conjunction with hiroshima the center has been publishing an annual evaluating the current state of nuclear disarmament since in the most recent they concluded that prospects for eliminating nuclear weapons from the world still distant at leaving japan one of my last interviews before leaving japan was with go a professor of international relations at meiji he argued that north pursuit of nuclear capabilities stems from its feeling of having been abandoned by former allies russia and china after they resumed diplomatic relations with south korea in the late and early a dream the country has harbored ever understanding is that north korea was an abandoned country so they think nuclear weapons are the only method for them to go a professor of international relations at meiji walks through at michael more and japanese officials have declared that it would be absolutely unacceptable for north korea to maintain nuclear weapons for but what does unacceptable really would either country be willing to preemptively attack north korea to make them that seem right we are looking at a world in which north korea has become a nuclear state like it or north korea insisted for years that it wanted a nuclear weapon for deterrence just like the and japan as i entered narita international airport for my flight back to new i thought of something david a former deputy assistant secretary for the department of defense who now teaches politics and economics at told me before the korea now has effective and that means that nobody is going to attack them without the very high probability of starting both republican and democratic administrations have made a mistake saying that a north korean nuclear weapon is unacceptable because not clear what we would do once the north koreans demonstrated that they have a nuclear on nine days after i trump announced that his administration was restoring north korea to the united list of state sponsors of adding to diplomatic happened a long time it happened years there was some hope at the time of my visit that the resolution in september strengthening oil sanctions against north korea might be since north korea had not launched any ballistic missiles in about two but on north korea fired a ballistic missile into exclusive economic a view from tokyo michael more during my i met many japanese who are worried about the threat of north korea but have different views on how the government should despite their reservations about essentially everyone with whom i spoke valued the alliance as central to the security and understood even if some fundamentally disagreed with why japan would rely on the nuclear support for moves toward greater capabilities has understandably risen along with nuclear but revising article is still a and controversial and a sincere desire for pacifism and nuclear disarmament was strongest in people and places closest to the atomic bombs arising from indelible memories that animate much thinking about war and peace in pacifism has been a central pillar of national identity since the end of world war there are hints that the commitment of the japanese people to this ideal has been but the collective memory of the atomic bombs and decades of peace have all but guaranteed

bailey national correspondent yahoo news december it was five years ago that a young man invaded sandy hook elementary school in and shot and killed young children and six staff a tragedy that indelibly scarred that small city and lives on in the collective national but school shootings or with sandy yahoo news looks at the aftermath of four of these tragedies and the lives they in this we examine how years is still traumatized by an attack carried out by two boys and how survivors deal with the knowledge that the killers are now grown men and free from in other stories we look at the lessons from sandy hook that may have helped save lives at a california school just last month and at how the parents of a girl killed in newtown are coping with their loss sometimes the feeling of anguish comes out of maybe triggered by a certain shift in the wind or when the temperature is warm but not too sometimes seeing something on television that suddenly brings it all a memory of a horrible day that happened long ago but is as vivid as if it were for lynette it is the warmth of the early spring that has often proved to be most and for nearly two decades she has steeled herself waiting for those difficult bracing for the pain and memories that inevitably come rushing back no matter how much she prays to god for strength and no matter how far over the thetford has gotten more adept at keeping it reliant on her strong christian faith and protected by a cocoon of friends and colleagues who make sure she feels loved and but last the darkness enveloped her when she expecting it an unusually mild day in the dead of the it was the kind of day most people live especially the kids at nettleton junior where she works in the but in the early thetford felt her heart racing and her emotions she struggled to breathe and tried not to soon she was over as she put back in the emotional lynette thetford at her home in eric thayer for yahoo more related columbine and a chain of tragedy and grief ready for thetford her voice a little it gets to the conditions of the when the weather was like it was that day i know but i still have that thetford help but think of another warm march when she had walked out into the yard behind the nearby westside middle where she taught social a fire alarm had gone off just after disrupting the beginning of fifth at first it clear if it was a drill or a it would turn out to be something far as the students and teachers exited into the back gunfire rang from a makeshift nest in woods behind the two andrew and mitchell fired dozens of shots at their teachers and using guns stolen that morning from in a matter of the boys killed five people four girls and a teacher and injured including who was shot in the lower abdomen as she tried to steer those around her to the bullet ripped through her intestines and severely injured the nerves that control her causing her to fall forward to the ground unable to she was dragged to safety and kept from bleeding to death by colleagues who put pressure on her but it took her months to learn how to walk a view of the wooded area behind westside middle school in where mitchell johnson and andrew golden shot and killed five people in eric thayer for yahoo more related images from newtown before columbine and sandy before sutherland springs and las vegas and orlando and san bernardino and charleston and aurora and virginia tech and all the other mass shootings that have stunned and numbed the country over the past two it was jonesboro in the a small town that few outside of arkansas had ever heard it was jonesboro that horrified the nation and stripped away the innocence of teachers and students who had never imagined such evil descending on their school and their what makes the jonesboro case unique is that the shooters survived their rampage and have had the opportunity to explain but simply unlike other such as adam lanza in newtown and eric harris and dylan klebold in johnson and golden turn their guns on which makes them a rarity among school the boys were apprehended as they ran toward a van packed with camping supplies and food for an apparent each boy faced five counts of which likely would have merited life in prison or even the death penalty had they been but under arkansas state law at the the two could only be charged as juveniles and held in jail only until they were their records a little maneuvering allowed federal officials to add on three more years for weapons keeping them in prison until they were in johnson was released from prison after serving seven though he soon ran afoul of the law and briefly went in golden was released and changed his name to drew grant a detail uncovered only when he filed for a concealed weapons permit a year arkansas state police identified him through his fingerprints and denied the it because of his criminal record technically he have because the murder charges had been they rejected him because they said he truthful on his asked for his residential he had omitted the address of the correctional facility where been locked up for family members of victims of the school shooting embrace following the convictions of mitchell johnson and andrew jeff more because they were their case remained largely shrouded in and according to those close to the the boys declined to talk to investigators or offer any insight into what led to their deadly but they were forced to testify in a wrongful death civil case brought by the families and a local attorney named bobby mcdaniel who was determined to seek answers from in august hours of videotaped depositions of johnson and golden were released after a judge slapped the killers with a million civil judgment money the families do not expect to but they wanted the world to watch and learn from jonesboro in hopes that their tragedy could produce lessons for other according to they wanted do what they could to stop the tragedy from recurring and to offer something more enduring in the hopes that jonesboro would be more than just another real important aspect of this case is the why was it what did we learn from and how can we implement what mcdaniel in the which dates back nearly a the public can hear and see the boys speaking for the first time about their the videos still offer no direct answer for the question the by then young largely blame each other for whose idea it was to ambush their as they did when they were first johnson claims golden made him do and golden testified that johnson threatened to kill his family if he participate dueling testimony that often rings but johnson seems more forthcoming than golden about what led up to the shooting and what pushed him over the remember feeling like i was like no one understood johnson testified in felt i felt like i have anywhere to nothing to i thought my you was at an i had a lot of people who were against me andrew and mitchell johnson during videotaped more testimony included several dispassionate apologies to his but echoing the little boy who felt the world was against he also sounds like a young man with his back against the complaining of not being able to hold down a job because everybody knows who he is and what he is you especially towards a johnson just something i live with every even in a churchgoing community where many believe in forgiving others as god has forgiven some survivors found comments chilling and hard to the fact that he and golden are free today disturbs and frightens many they worry about running into one or both and fret about the mindset of someone who may someday feel once again that the world is against though public records suggest both men now live out of state golden in missouri and johnson in texas some family members of the victims and survivors declined to speak about what happened in jonesboro and their experience in the nearly two decades in part because they expressed fear of retaliation from the knows going on with one nearly years who is still sometimes especially when and some in spite of her strong faith in god and her belief that she must have been spared for a thetford help but feel tired of the guilt that never quite goes away and the shredded emotions that come with living through something back was not nearly as common as it feels find myself glued to said karen who was the principal at westside during the are you watching watch but what i find is and i know why i do but i try to figure i some type of common denominator among all of what i try to i analyze and i would cause a person to want to do karen curtner was the principal at westside middle school at the time of the eric thayer for yahoo more not many jonesboro survivors say they have obsessed over the details of shootings in other looking at those tragedies as they still try to understand their johnson and golden have never explained exactly why they did what they did a detail that has made finding a sense of closure much if closure for something like this even really when it the shooting ranked as one of the worst in the history and the worst ever attack on a middle according to the situated about miles northeast of little was inundated by media from all over the overwhelming the small city of some located on the rural outskirts of amid rolling wooded hills that open up into flat farm fields of cotton and westside suddenly found its parking lot crammed with satellite producers from syndicated talk shows tried to sneak into the hospital rooms of reporters staked out the idea that two kids whose lives had barely begun had chosen to commit such a coldblooded and adult crime was a shocking and unimaginable concept until a little over a year when harris and high school shot and killed people and injured more than others at columbine high school in after jonesboro slowly began to fade from the national the white ribbons people tied on tree trunks in memory of the dead have long ago frayed and at where the school looks largely the same as it did years there is a stone bench out front carved with the date and a small memorial in the shape of a sundial in a park area behind the near the sidewalks that were once stained with the blood of the engraved on the sundial are the natalie paige stephanie britthney and shannon a sundial installed in honor of four children and a teacher killed in the school eric thayer for yahoo more of the kids who are here now have no idea what what any of this they even a westside teacher said on a recent thursday afternoon after school had let to be we talk about it much because the community has tried to move as at columbine and sandy the anniversary of the shooting was formally marked the first year or there was a ceremony around the flagpole in front of westside to mark the since the date has largely passed without except for informal gatherings of family members and survivors a decision encouraged by people who believed that moving forward was ultimately the best kind of healing for a town that had suffered so but it is a tragedy that has quietly endured in ways that are not always so obvious through the unimaginable loss still felt by parents and families of the children who were the trauma and guilt that still plague the students and other survivors and other pain that has rippled in unusual ways through the everybody has a story the responding paramedics and hospital staffers who were later diagnosed with the counselors who tended to the victims who later needed counselors of their own to cope with what the teachers who walked away from the classroom forever because they get past a sense of fear or guilt that they had been unable to protect their students from a threat that was not even near the top of the list of bad things that people here believed could we thought of safety back it was things like making sure that the playground was equipped with safety said the former westside who is now an assistant superintendent at nettleton public also in never thought about people hurting other i guess i was corey a third grader at the westside middle is escorted by his and elvis poe of the arkansas game and fish to take part in a program to help students cope with the fatal march john more after the the parents of at least one child killed split others took their surviving children and left trying to forge a new start in a new home and at a new school though for it caused more anguish being in a community where there was no one to talk to about what they had been some turned to alcohol or drugs to ease the others touched by the shooting have suffered serious health problems or died years before they were expected developments other survivors attribute to the enormous stress of what they went the children who lived through the attack are now adults with their own and though many have been able to deal with the aftermath of that day much better than the some have told reporters about the fear they have felt in sending their own kids off to a place that no longer seems many of the families and survivors no longer talk to along with concerns about johnson and some say the subject is too painful to talk about after all these many are still angry at the media about how they were treated in the aftermath of the and others say they want to be accused of trying to seek some kind of attention for themselves when some in the community have constantly urged them to after initially refusing to speak to the media or anyone else about what she had been in part because of survivor thetford eventually saw the questions as a gift from god to lift the pain and burden she she began speaking to reporters and at after she traveled to where she met with survivors and others who were on the including police trying to ease their pain by sharing her as more acts of violence she reached out to other victims of mass trying to offer written places and offered to come because when you hear about something like the first thing you want to do is put your arms around them and hug she the first thing that comes to my mind is i just

a list of students to mark who had been absent that day did she begin to wonder who had attacked her she wondered if it was a disgruntled parent or some mentally ill but she checked off who had been out of school that a list that included johnson and got these two in custody out in the the officer told pointing to the she curtner get even when the officer told her johnson and golden had been found with the and when it hit she believe people would ask her if the boys had been if there had been signs of instability or hints that they would become johnson had been in but nothing out of the ordinary for a boy his even she remembers how unfailingly polite he was always and and never even seen golden in the one she she could not believe them capable of she knew their the who worked in the

school talking to curtner and the other teachers in what became informal therapy sessions where they talked about the emotions and there were days when some of the staff get out of bed because they were so depressed or full of a few teachers admitted to thoughts of thetford struggled with feeling guilty that she had survived while her friend shannon who had taken two bullets while trying to shield her had and at one of her lowest thetford told her understand why shannon got to and i stayed she was diagnosed with severe clinical that the school was required to hold a fire some students and teachers decided to stay home rather than risk but thetford knew she had to face her before the bell went she recalled how the new superintendent of the school district had approached her and grabbed her protect he he nobody can protect you from things like she while every day was a thetford was determined to stick it out with her instead of social she was teaching the seventh to allow her more contact with those who had been in school that she loved teaching she loved the school and she believed things would get get me out of have to blast me she told a but one she was pulling a clip

moving to another school my mind off of and it was a saving thing for frustrated by the secrecy of the juvenile court proceedings and the indication that the two boys who killed their kids would serve just a few years in the families approached a prominent lawyer named bobby mcdaniel shortly after the shooting to ask if he thought there was any other avenue of regarded as one of the best civil litigators in the mcdaniel had made national news just two years earlier as the lawyer for susan one of bill partners in the whitewater land mcdaniel had forced the sitting president to sit for a deposition in a fraud case related to the failed real estate for taking the case was jonesboro was his and like everyone else he was horrified by what had nobody was in it for the money except to prevent the boys from perhaps someday selling their stories or profiting off the while the golden family reportedly did pay an undisclosed amount of money to some of the what mcdaniel and the parents really wanted was how could they stop something like this from ever happening to anyone attorney bobby mcdaniel at his office in eric thayer for yahoo more in mcdaniel filed a wrongful death suit naming johnson and golden as along with sporting goods the manufacturer of a remington rifle that was used by johnson in the arguing the gun was a risk because it have a trigger while the gun company was later dropped from the in part because the guns were the attorney still said they had been pointing to the increased presence of trigger locks that gun makers began to add to weapons amid worries of liability after what happened in time you go into a gun every gun on a rack has a trigger lock on that was not the case when we filed this mcdaniel but it took years to realize the other part of the trying to understand what made johnson and golden attack their school that it was nearly two years before he got to question the boys for the first time back in testimony that was limited because they were still juveniles and golden had filed an appeal to overturn his claiming he had been insane at the time of the then mcdaniel had to wait again until the boys were out of because they had been held as there was no reporting on their exact release or where they had it took nearly a decade after the shooting to track them down and complete the it was another nine years before they were made public this past august more than years after the was a long but as i told the and i the consequences of this case are gonna last mcdaniel what if we have to wait seven i will not abandon ship just because gonna take a long the videos feel extraordinary not so much for the answers they but rather because they exist at all in a case that for years was marked by it is rare to see killers speaking under oath about their even if some of the testimony offered by johnson and golden is hard to including claims made by both that they had shot at the not at there are four separate videos of close to nine hours of two of one taken in when he was and another in when he was and soon to be on his way back to jail after being pulled over in a van with marijuana and an unregistered said it was a christmas gift from a friend worried about his and two of one taken in when he was and another in when he was by golden had changed his name to drew grant in an attempt to a new he mcdaniel tracked him down after his failed attempt to get a concealed weapons mitchell taking a break from trial in then faced one count of possessing of a firearm while being a user or being addicted to a controlled beth more in the golden appears nervous and he talks about going to live with his sister in missouri to change his name and start over and how he once stayed with a pastor of his parents to stay under the radar after his he had been taking classes at arkansas state in jonesboro under his new name and had been working odd jobs and relying heavily on his who had bought him a truck and were paying for most of his he had gotten a single tattoo since he had left a cross with the words when mcdaniel asked which bible verse it golden all who have sinned and fallen short of the glory of golden speaks of but never says he is he testified that he had never apologized or reached out to his victims on the advice of his lawyers and because he want to stir anything he delivers pages of testimony about his skills as an expert the awards he won as a but when asked about the shooting at he repeatedly testified he shot into the air or aimed at the away from even though ballistics show bullets from his gun hit thetford and killed among it sparked a tense exchange with off sounds increasingly ever intentionally shoot a and you know i never aimed at purely coincidental that five people lay dead with bullets through their head and their hearts by pure never intended i never shot at i you know what perjury but in a haunting johnson was asked during his deposition if he has read about the shootings that have come after including the attack at and what advice he might have to stop future killers like after a he responded at speaking somewhat dispassionately about the warning signs to look a person is normally a person is doing well in school and not having and he just all the sudden clamps want to getting in obviously a warning johnson running with the wrong crowd a bad it people who are physically violent and get counseling for it and talk about talk about their problems stuff boils you mitchell and andrew golden in undated yearbook more in the closest answer to a reason given by either one of the johnson think that was the main reason if there was any that was the main reason why i decided to help andrew do what he do we what i felt like i have anyone to talk i have anyone to open up i know who i could according to public johnson lives in golden got married last year and lives outside cape neither one has ever personally apologized to their am incapable of expressing to you the and anger that these parents have that somebody who burglarizes a for or sells crack cocaine can get years in and these guys were out walking the street in virtually no mcdaniel like we lock up the drug problem they tried that and it worked and locking these kids up for years would be great at least in the eyes of the but i know the no answer that will remove their anger and on that warm day in february earlier this when lynette thetford felt all the pain and memories coming she excused herself from her desk at the nettleton junior high library and took a drive back to down that winding road she has traveled so often over the past come here alone often or visited some of the students she lost at the cemetery up the but this she brought one of her a close friend who has seen

followed part of what jesus know it was the she was expecting big men in camo to come running around with the big guns in their i never thought it was the that was one of the biggest thetford later woke up in the it done with her the doctor told her lost two coke bottles full of she was lucky to be someone finally told her who had fired the andrew golden and mitchell she thought of her deal with

given the to gain access to russian cyber systems that they feel is needed to let the plan unfold the officials the effort constitutes one of the first major cyber battle plans organized under a new government policy enabling potential offensive operations to proceed more quickly once the parameters have been worked out in advance and agreed among key while national security officials have so far reported only intermittent efforts by russian sources to compromise political organizations and they have been worried in the aftermath of digital contact with election systems in that moscow might unleash more aggressive interference in the hours before voting while the polls are or when the votes are being the existence of such a plan means that america is more fully integrating offensive cyberattacks into its overall military planning a move likely to make cyber combat more likely and eventually more sometimes without first gaining specific presidential cyberattacks are now on a more obvious in to becoming a regular currency of the plan for retaliation against russia is one of the first to be organized since president trump signed an executive order in august that simplifies and

is designed to allow defense secretary james mattis and director of national intelligence dan coats to approve retaliatory strikes without the approval of others in the and in certain cases without white house it replaces an executive order that required more extensive review before cyber weapons could be used called presidential policy directive that order was classified but became public when former national security agency contractor edward snowden leaked it in as part of a broader effort by him to expose the scale of american edward snowden in december barton more one of the unpublicized consequences of the new directive is that military planners can prepare for cyberstrikes as called for in interagency agreements in advance by gaining access to the computer systems of potential targets well before any order has been given to or even before a foreign attack has the officials that access is meant to pave the way for deploying and detonating malware packages of compromising computer instructions swiftly inside foreign networks and when a decision is made to according to the military planners in the past were sometimes held back by the intelligence community from hacking into foreign networks for fear of compromising access that spies considered useful for collecting particularly when it was uncertain whether any offensive operation would eventually be with only a small number of skilled military hackers they were also hesitant to invest time in gaining access to systems not explicitly part of an approved order allowed for emergency defensive actions by the heads of but required a much more protracted process for the premeditated deployment of cyber major attacks had to be directly approved by the while smaller operations required the of three including

wanted to have access and be they were one of the officials used an analogy to describe the new spy the official sometimes try to place an agent in a service position at a facility run by an that assignment would be to learn access map the facility and conduct wide surveillance of its copy sets of and perhaps unlock that information and access would allow the intelligence in to sneak a bomb into the facility when it wants this is what the military is now authorized to do after an interagency agreement has been reached that a particular major threat exists that might warrant a swift and effective cyber the officials it essentially is meant to ensure that cyber warriors can quickly drop off weapons when need to something if you have the right said one of the while some officials and cyber experts have said that certain offensive cyber operations risk violating international because of the possibility they might cause collateral damage and harm civilians outside target government lawyers have approved the new approach after deciding that letting the military hack into a foreign system is not an act of so long as a cyber weapon yet been emplaced and the specific system being targeted actually national security adviser john alexander more while declining to discuss the specifics of the new directive or any potential cyber grant a senior director for cybersecurity at the

potential targets and start being able to have impacts he nspm which remains was the backbone of new national cyber strategy a mostly unclassified public document that was released in that strategy

officials declined to provide any specifics on how the new policy would make cyber response or cut down on red but claimed it would do during a press conference on to roll out the new cyber bolton said that any nation taking cyber activity against the united they should and this is part of creating structures of so that publicly known as we will respond offensively as well as during a speech on

finding weaknesses in software security as part of something called the vulnerabilities equities russian president vladimir with national security adviser john alexander more its general outlines were disclosed in late when public documents stated that government hackers tell software makers about roughly percent of the vulnerabilities they find while testing nearly every widely used piece of

over you may have missed the news while you were doing whatever it is that normal people do with their summer but trump is in even bigger electoral trouble this week than he was the week with the donald continuing to falter and flail the republican party is now strategizing about dumping its nominee at least and redirecting its resources to on more than prominent republicans signed an open letter to republican national committee chairman reince priebus urging him to divert all of the cash the rnc is currently spending on trump to vulnerable gop house and senate number climbed to this week after virginia scott rigell and wisconsin reid both of whom are added their names to the along with former bob inglis of south carolina and jim kolbe of dollar spent by the rnc on donald campaign is a dollar of donor money wasted on the losing effort of a candidate who has actively undermined the gop at every the letter read rnc should shift its strategy and its resources to convince voters not to give hillary clinton the of a congress to advance her big government on an rnc official began laying the groundwork for such a shift by telling a group of reporters in an session that trump would have only himself to blame for a defeat in the words of one person in the according to politico message was that the rnc has these staffers out there working and knocking on with a data system they believe rivals what obama built in so not their this the first time the gop has gone down this road which brings us back to paul exactly two decades manafort was a top strategist for republican presidential nominee bob at least six other trump staffers worked for dole that year all of them likely recall how campaign with the gop giving up on its presidential convinced that incumbent president bill clinton would rout the veteran kansas senator on election republican operatives explicitly told congressional candidates to cut loose from bob dole and press voters to maintain a republican in order to deny a president clinton a check as the new york times the national republican congressional committee went on to launch a million ad blitz designed to deliver the same message to congressional districts liberal special interests aligned with clinton desperately want to buy back control of the nrcc ad we give the special interests a blank check in going to represent it was a devastating blow for who lost to clinton by electoral and for the party as a the strategy was a republicans retained control of the house and actually picked up two seats in the senate that clearly the rnc is hoping that a approach will work a second time around whatever happens to but will not there are a few big differences between and that will make it tougher for the gop to save congress by shunning its the first is that remarkably early for this sort of in the initial story appear in the press until a mere days before the that was by as veteran republican consultant eddie mahe told the new york times the party was worried that the trigger too would base mahe suggested that the which might three or four could be effective even if used only in the last three or four days of the when those base would not be offended by an open discussion of base republicans abandoning on the contrary they still seem to adore speculating about throwing their hero under the bus nearly three months before election day is not a good way to encourage them to show up and vote for gop house and senate candidates in this is especially true compared with trump still looks like he has a dole was trailing by as many as percentage points in late august trump is currently behind by an average of bill clinton slipped below the percent threshold only a couple of hillary clinton rarely clears the earlier the rnc bails on the more inclined base voters will be to blame the party for deserting they may stay home as a the second difference between and is absentee which has become a lot more widespread over the last decade or according to the national conference of state states now allow voters to cast their ballots before election some mail their absentee ballots to voters as early as next this puts the rnc in an even tougher shift resources away from trump sooner rather than later the base will wait until the last and many voters will have already cast their then polarization to on the poll numbers appear to be more promising than but the fact that in republicans were able to keep control of congress despite losing the presidency by nearly percentage points may ultimately say less about the brilliance of their strategy than it does about the willingness of some voters in the past to bounce back and forth between the two parties as they worked their way down the voting used to be fairly in for percent of congressional districts voted for one party in the presidential race and another in their local house by that number had declined to to save the senate from republicans would have to revive the the nominee in percent of americans had a favorable opinion of dole only percent saw him dole tarnishing the gop trump in his current ratings are almost the exact opposite of percent favorable versus percent unfavorable those are the worst numbers in the history of polling and the stats are almost as bad in it all that difficult to convince swing voters to support

alert here in rural mason county when he noticed one of the back tires of their ambulance had gone when the call turned out to be a false they pulled the vehicle over and were getting ready to change the tire when a man drove up and offered to one of his employees was a mechanic and could change the tire the man and as the mechanic was soon on the lifting up the ambulance with a forklift and removing the tire so quickly as handley was like watching a nascar pit after expressing deep handley and his colleague were soon back on their but within a call came from the other side of the county a call they likely would have missed had they been stuck fixing the flat on their when they they found a situation that has become all too familiar here in recent a young her breath so faint that her skin had turned passed out from an apparent drug mason county is the epicenter of an opioid epidemic that has overtaken much of west so handley did what he and his team at the mason county ems now do two or three times a on he administered oxygen and gave her a shot of an opioid within the girl was awake and apologizing profusely for what she had she insisted she had been clean for but had slipped up an line emts hear a lot in mason as she gave handley her license so he could fill out she thanked the paramedics profusely for saving her but like many overdose patients she declined to be taken to the she felt fine and want anybody else to know what had she insisted she would be ok with no further when he looked at the last name on the handley suddenly is your he asked the when she told he believe her father was the mechanic who had just fixed their flat know she would have died had he not helped us fix that handley told her that she have to thank us but that better get on her knees and thank god and then go home and thank her because if it been for we would have still been stuck there on the side of the and we have gotten to her in roadside crosses in mason a region that has been hard hit by the opioid epidemic holly more when people ask handley what like being a paramedic in a county awash in where drug overdoses have become more prevalent than car crashes and even heart he tells that story a tale so he admits he probably believe it had he not been there to see it for but for who heads up the mason county ems and has worked as a medic in the region for the story encapsulates everything about the drug epidemic that has overwhelmed his how it has touched everything and everybody in this small county of roughly people and how he and his as first are on the frontlines every racing to keep people alive against a scourge that seems to have no have this idea of what they think someone who abuses drugs that some but every day we are treating people we people you see in church or that you went to high school with or are honor students from good he look at them and never but nobody has been and the worst part is that you see them again and they get caught up in the grips of this and it consumes they get in the past handley and his team have responded to more than calls related to drug overdoses roughly double the number of calls reported between june to june the reporting according to the west virginia health statistics which monitors the vital people died in mason county from drug overdoses in the calendar year that was more than double the six fatalities reported in and one of the highest per capita drug death rates in the state of west which reported overdose deaths overall one of the highest totals in the if there is an upside to what has happened to mason and handley is always desperately looking for that more people but many here wonder how much longer than can as the crisis the opioid war has taken a major financial toll on rural health care including the local hospital and the mason county which receives little public funding and has been barely making ends it pays the bills largely through patient insurance which in this mostly rural area is a program that could see massive cuts under the health care bill championed by senate republicans anxious to deliver on their campaign promise of repealing the affordable care dylan head of the mason county holly more already on the financial brink because of reimbursement the mason county ems is also bracing for potential disaster on another in a state grant that has been

high handley called and with some addicts now switching from opioids to heroin laced with synthetic which is cheaper than prescription drugs and dangerously some overdose victims in mason county are now requiring as many as five shots of narcan to be while mason county run out of the drug other parts of the state led to complaints that addicts are abusing the drug as a out of jail free as one local official here put continuing to use and assuming someone will always be there to out of between the senate health care bill and the end of the narcan handley frets about a looming disaster for the mason county one of the few rural ambulance services left in the in west more than ambulance services across the counties have shut down in recent years because of financial and handley believes mason county could be there are more medicaid and no other this would be catastrophic for he said last know if we could we are talking about a potential situation where people would call and there would be no one to whether an overdose or a heart attack or a car accident or a broken there would be no can you hard to ignore the politics at mason county was unquestionably donald trump a remote area where residents strongly identified with his populist message and appeal to americans who had been left behind by economic but the republican effort to gut medicaid may be stirring the first real signs of disaffection with trump among the supporters most responsible for his unlikely path to the white mason county is located on the far western side of west about an hour north of it is nestled deep in a hilly landscape that runs along the ohio river in purest it used to be a place teeming with like steel and coal mines and even a flourishing lumber industry among other was the primary supplier of timber for wooden ships long before the arrival of steel vessels and it is an area that remains deeply committed to evangelical with countless roadside crosses and tributes to jesus including signs admonishing people to thy dylan head of the mason county holds a vial of better known as which is administered to prevent drug holly more during world war the area was home to military facilities that manufactured and stored tnt ordnance that was kept in concrete igloos that still dot the landscape outside point when the facility was closed in the as it is became the subject of local residents reported seeing what they described as a winged figure haunting the the bird man was soon christened a celebrated figure in local folklore that became the subject of a book as well as a film starring richard gere that attracted tourists who were curious about the according to local the figure is only seen when things are about to get really and after a decades long sightings of the mothman have suddenly started up beginning last some local believers openly wonder if it was a foreshadowing for the rocky few months to the area has been in steady decline for a few hard hit by factory and plant closures that have plagued other rust belt the unemployment rate in mason county has been steady at around percent for years though it could be much since many residents long ago gave up looking for a depression economic and that many blame for the rise in drug one of the biggest blows came in when the philip sporn power located in the northern part of the county in new the plant had struggled for years amid the rise of natural reducing its workforce from a high of in the to just two years the appalachian announced it would close the plant because it did not comply with new rules passed by the obama a decision that did not win the president many so when trump came campaigning on a message of dialing back regulations on the coal creating jobs and helping what he called forgotten in america who had not enjoyed the economic resurgence experienced by other parts of the people here strongly latched on to his add to that his promises of doing more to stave off the opioid and mason county was firmly trump though most voters in the county are registered republican presidential candidates have tended to triumph winning with a little over half the but last trump won percent of the vote one of the highest percentages in a state that strongly supported his unlikely candidacy and people here have been anxious to see him deliver on the promises he made to the a church advertises a of in point holly more these support for trump here is somewhat muted compared to even a few months driving around the county on a recent nobody wanted to own up to backing trump last in the parking lot of the local dairy queen in point a woman who had a america great bumper sticker on her car demurred when asked about the why she want to the day before senate republicans had unveiled their version of health care which like the house bill passed in the detailed massive cuts to like but i guess i am the who declined to give her think obamacare is but i think throwing the whole thing out is smart that hurts us what are people going to a question that has vexed elected including the junior shelley moore the centrist republican backed trump last year and has been critical of obamacare but has also been cagey about republican efforts to repeal the aca because of how it would impact her constituents in a state that has strongly benefited from the according to census bureau numbers cited by politifact the number of uninsured individuals between the ages of and went from an average percent between and to percent in in west virginia after the aca one of the biggest declines in the west virginia was among the states took advantage of a provision in the aca that allowed states to expand medicaid to grant coverage to millions of adults who could not otherwise afford health but the senate bill would gut medicaid cuts that could be potentially devastating to west virginia and especially its efforts to combat the opioid not only are rural health care providers heavily dependent on many of those covered by medicaid are the ones being treated for drug according to the west virginia department of health and human roughly of those who are covered through the medicaid expansion were treated for substance abuse last year a number many state officials expect to increase amid a drug crisis that appears to be getting worse by the after senate leaders delayed a vote on the capito announced she was against the current legislation as it is but she continues to be seen as a pivotal figure in the a swing vote who has been lobbied intensely by people on both sides of the point holly more among those who have lobbied her or tried to has been who says he has repeatedly called capito and others in the west virginia congressional delegation to warn that ems could be forced to close if the proposed cuts to medicaid are feels like it falls on a deaf he all like to get on msnbc and fox and talk about how there to help their but i think when you get down to the brass tacks of if they would look at their not doing a very good the mason county ems offices are located just outside point on a patch of land next to a mobile home park not far from the banks of the ohio in one building is the emergency operations center a building built after that is constructed to withstand bombs and severe but the silent creep of drugs that has proven to be the more terrorizing element the one that threatens to break the back of health as head of the handley has an alert on his phone for every call that comes in to the dispatch though consumed with budgets and trying to find ways to pay the including the a month payroll he has for his small team of handley still often goes out on determined to see for himself what his staff is coming up positioned right along the ohio mason county is believed by some to be the major transportation point into west virginia for drug dealers bringing their product into the and handley can often tell when they as overdose calls begin to dot the map along the key highways around the county north towards new haven and south towards huntington and the service has four ambulances available at any given each staffed by two which would seem to be enough for a small area like mason but with the uptick in handley worries constantly about the nightmare scenario where they respond in in recent they have come close to being in a bad batch of heroin prompted overdose calls in less than five prompting handley to call on help from neighboring nobody thanks in large part to narcan and quick thinking from the emergency operations center which posted a message on facebook warning people about the bad drugs a social message that appeared to work since the overdose calls suddenly a dispatcher in mason on many most calls are for drug holly more just last handley and his team responded to six overdoses in a few hours in a single day prompting concern that another bad outbreak was but the calls soon slowed and no one biggest fear is not getting to he you imagine having six people die or people die in a single in a small community like can you imagine how catastrophic that would have what we would define as a mass casualty i imagine what kind of toll that would take while health statistics suggest that more people than ever in west virginia are seeking help for substance one of the problems in a place like mason county is that treatment facilities and counseling have not kept up with the number of and many have wait lists that are months and in many of those helped save from an overdose are too embarrassed to seek help and are falsely convinced they can kick the habit on their unlike where overdosing on drugs is against the law and can result in arrest or forced there is no such law in west and many when the mason county ems treats the patient declines to be transported to the we see again and handley a few weeks he responded to a call about a young girl passed out in a he recognized her as an honor the daughter of parents he often saw at and now here she being and respirated back to on some are you doing this to he asked she told him at the encouragement of had tried heroin at a party a few weeks earlier and now get she refused to go to the just so he shaking his who had such a promising and now her life is probably driving around mason you would never know it was the center of an opioid unlike other like montana and where antidrug billboards dot the there is almost no sign anywhere of the drug save for a sign advertising a of in front of a local church on the main stretch through point roadside signage in mason a region that has been hard hit by the opioid epidemic holly more but look a little harder and you can see how the issue preoccupies this the debate over drugs rages on social including where people often post messages on the mason county ems page and sometimes even on personal page arguing about the ambulance financial crisis and pinning it entirely on drug abusers which is but not of the often are we wasting money buying narcan for these why are we spending money trying to save handley think people realize that what is happening is happening to people they he often thinks about the girl and her father who fixed his flat tire and replays in his mind what would have happened had he not reached many months he has no

washington and hollywood talk about how they need to better represent trump this i a natural reaction to having missed something critical about where the society is the problem is that anytime you reduce a large chunk of the electorate to a label oversimplifying a more complicated in this what we generally think of as trump voters encompasses two distinct subsets of discontented but not as much as you might the first are economically dislocated or independent voters who harbored still no great love for the but whose communities are unrecognizable to them mainly because of automation and global competition and all the social ills they like broken families and these voters bitterly detest the political status quo and were willing to take a chance on just about anyone whose last name clinton or this group has been ascendant and growing in intensity for some sizable minority of them cast ballots for both presidents obama and trump in successive they do not constitute the bulk of by any but they are the main reason he became and to understand where coming from is to understand the most powerful current in american the second roughly is the culturally affronted crowd you see reflected on social media all the these voters think much about an economic they want a time machine that will take them back to an orderly america ruled by white where you could say whatever you wanted without being labeled a bigot or a where you have to worry about gay rights and and where black guys getting dragged out of a coffee shop for no reason was called a skeptic of reflexive political as i think a lot of mainstream voters the bullying on college campuses today is enough to make any thinking person but the cultural right really opposed to the silly lexicon of liberalism as much as to liberalism what they call pc is really just the modern concept of these voters represent a shrinking slice of the if you take any kind of long and hardly they have the loudest voice in in fact a president who stars in his own reality show a miner of nostalgia who lives only for their the problem for coastal liberals who run news and entertainment media is that in trying to speak to the economically disenchanted first they inevitably get dragged down into the netherworld of the culturally outraged which is exactly what happened to abc with roseanne i watch the but judging from its jokes about black americans and it was aimed squarely at the white americans who feel robbed of their had a massive audience for a network sitcom but to put this in electoral nielsen ratings earlier this month had it seen by fewer than percent of american households watching and so it was a pretty good bet that roseanne would stumble her way into the hatred and bigotry that lurk all over social entertainers like trump and barr go wherever the crowd takes they play to their for better or if you want to draw in the disaffected americans who voted for trump but remain trapped between failure on one hand and liberal condescension on the then bring back a show like of the which lampooned cultural elitism in a way these voters viscerally that show is as relevant to the making of a president

delivered what sounded a lot like a concession speech two days after losing the june california primary by nearly percentage the senator from vermont still officially dropped out of the democratic primary he attacking hillary clinton he fantasizing about flipping abandoned all pretense of nabbing the nomination in and yet sanders is still charging taxpayers more than a day to continue his because bernie has a wish in a series of statements over the past few sanders has made it abundantly clear what he wants from clinton and the democratic establishment before he will and the with days to go until unconventional decided to rank each item on wish list from most realistic to least based on the current political climate and the progress lack of by him and his team so regularly revisit these rankings as the convention replace dnc chair debbie wasserman schultz in words need a person at the leadership of the dnc who is vigorously supporting and out working to bring people into the political i political parties need but it is more important that we have that we have young that we have people who are going to participate in the political process and fight for their kids and for their odds sanders may already be well on his way to getting his last the clinton campaign effectively took control of the sidelining wasserman schultz and installing brandon davis national political director for the service employees international to oversee the operations in her there is nothing unusual about the same thing happened in when barack obama clinched the democratic nomination and quickly replaced chair howard dean with his trusted aide paul assuming clinton wins in the question is what happens after election when stint is scheduled to will clinton announce a new dnc chair in a bid for perhaps at the or will she hope the intraparty opposition dies down and offer wasserman schultz long seen as a hillary especially among disgruntled sanders supporters the opportunity to keep her guessing that debbie will go perhaps sooner rather than in cnn reported that democrats with ties to the power centers president barack clinton and sanders made clear that few are rooting for wasserman survival at the continue reading this is the one thing that provides they would take that said one senior democratic strategist who had spoken to the white is rushing to keep or as another democratic adviser close to clinton said of wasserman is an exhaustion that comes with dealing with reduce the role of superdelegates in words also need obviously to get rid of the idea that we had superdelegates pledged to a candidate some eight months or more before the first ballot was cast to my and we need to also make sure that superdelegates do not live in a world of their own but reflect the views of the people of their own odds no matter what sanders the democratic party is unlikely to of superdelegates achieving that goal would require the superdelegates to vote themselves out of and not something interested in superdelegates for the most sitting and house they want to attend the convention and participate in the debates over the the and other they want to have a say in the direction of their and they want to have to run against their own which is the only way they could become regular old pledged was precisely the rationale cited earlier this week by the congressional black caucus in a letter to both the sanders and clinton campaigns explaining why they voted unanimously to oppose any suggestion or idea to eliminate the category of unpledged delegate to the democratic national signs are than many superdelegates might be willing to reduce or even relinquish their biggest superpower the power to overturn a primary result they find over the last politico interviewed of senate colleagues and found that than half support at least lowering the number of and all but two said the party should take up the matter at next convention in despite the potential for a intraparty feud at a critical moment in the even prospective running mates are open to a and i believe in said elizabeth party leaders participate is but i think having some connection to the outcome of your process is said virginia tim fine with whatever they added ohio sherrod just care about i care about the whole given that both california and nebraska democrats voted against the existing superdelegate system at their state conventions this looking increasingly likely that some sort of reform may emerge from perhaps it will be a reduction in or perhaps it will be a new rule that binds the superdelegates to the views of the people of their own as sanders himself has we shall make the democratic party platform more liberal in words at the democratic national to approve a progressive the most progressive platform ever passed by the democratic a platform which makes it crystal clear that the democratic party in on the side of working odds the democratic platform may end up being more liberal than its or but because the party in general and clinton specifically has already shifted to the left over the course of the in large part because of any progressive changes to the existing platform will probably be ones that clinton has already signaled her comfort with an emphasis on fair trade rather than free opposition to the keystone xl pipeline and an increase in the national minimum wage rather than concessions extracted by sanders in exchange for his sanders simply have much leverage left he have a last sanders was awarded more seats on the platform drafting committee than any in democratic several of his appointees philosophy professor cornel arab american institute president james minnesota keith ellison are notably less than the current party or clinton for that if sanders were to threaten an ugly floor flight over the conflict and at the initial platform west and zogby have already clashed with clinton supporters over terms like possible that team clinton might try to convince them to back down by ceding ground this would be a risky move on clinton has already rejected many of his including free tuition and health and much of the rest of the party would not look kindly on a floor but who knows how far the senator is willing to go to satisfy his supporters and to secure his progressive reform the democratic voting process in words need real electoral reform within the democratic and that means among many other things open the idea that in the state of new the great state of new million people could not participate in helping to select who the democratic or republican candidate for president would be because they had registered as an independent not as a democrat or a republican is odds not going to most democratic party regulars aka delegates want to strengthen the democratic they want to attract but while allowing to vote in a democratic primary might get voters invested in the candidate they it get them invested in the it help the party identify regular it build loyalty to the right some states have open others are up to each state party the organization paying for the incidentally to decide which system it almost impossible to imagine these delegations voting in philadelphia to abandon their autonomy in favor of a as for other major electoral reform proposal voter registration most democrats support in clinton has gone one step further and said that all americans should be automatically registered to vote when they turn they opt but state governments set voter registration laws not the democratic sanders is barking up the wrong tree could happen in the rules nerd behind the new push to dump trump at the rnc when unconventional first met curly we described him as a man a mission wants every one of the delegates heading to this republican convention to know that the the party leaders and even the chairman of the gop are we wrote at the according to the longtime rnc rules committee member and magnate from republican delegates are not obligated by the outcome of their primary or caucuses to vote for a certain candidate on the first ballot in cleveland despite what almost everyone else seems to they have to vote for donald they have to vote for ted haugland insists that the delegates can vote for anyone they transforming the convention into a chaotic in the back haugland was about to release an ebook called unbound a legalistic briefing that scours the record and scrutinizes the rules to determine where exactly the gop had stood in the past on the idea of delegates and where it stands yet there were never any actual you plotting to express their unboundedness by bailing on trump at the haugland was speaking in until on the washington post reported that dozens of republican convention delegates had hatched new to block a stumbling trump in cleveland by adding a to the rules that there is no confusion about what delegates can such a clause would say that every delegate is free to vote his or her conscience on the first ballot even if state laws or party rules say at the the dump trump cabal was fairly roughly delegates from states participated in a conference call thursday with republicans from louisiana and washington signing on as regional a christian schoolteacher and rules committee member from colorado named kendal unruh a former ted cruz supporter was leading the since unlikely campaign appears to have picked up a second conference call on sunday night attracted a claimed participants unruh said that hundred delegates and had now rallied to the the group announced plans to raise money for staff and a possible legal defense and they even gave themselves a free the delegates earlier this the group received the tacit endorsement of wisconsin scott who has privately told activists that he would be willing to serve as an alternative at the convention if trump continues to according to a yahoo news source think not just this delegates are and should be able to vote the way they see walker said at an event in wisconsin see how things go between now and the convention as to what the next steps we reconnected with haugland tuesday to discuss the fledging his work has spawned to get his take on whether it has any chance of succeeding in are you a happy man right curly happy to see that the delegates have started to react to the book and are taking steps to exercise their newly found laughs have the leaders of free the delegates reached out to kendal talked to me two or three weeks when she first got a copy of the she apparently got the book and became what doing has organically arisen out of the in unbound you make the case that no rules have to change that the delegates are already free to vote for whomever they not advocating for any our goal is consider this the delegates are a pen full of just announcing that the gate is never been penned but even free the delegates is advocating for the addition of an explicit conscience what doing is reacting to the kendal asked me about that a long time the pushback from the rnc is that people have amending the conscience will clear the conscience of delegates who feel i but who feel that way all the same that they are obligated by party rules or state laws to vote a certain way in a conscience clause would give them permission to break that for those people who feel a moral obligation who kendal is appealing sure getting pushback from people a i gave them my my view is that binding is so no matter how we attack in any shape or is a good what was your reaction to remarks on the how illegal and all that and how jeb bush is conspiring behind his i focused on the contenders at the most offensive thing i saw was from sean spicer rnc who compared this effort to as if it were some sort of conspiracy or even a disturbing to because he knows is free the delegates picking up momentum or is it just a media bubble seeing right spicer also said extent of this effort is a bunch of random people tweeting about full a delegate this morning told me he tried to get on but he because the call was limited to seen that but i been able to verify i know there were people on the they may not have all been but there were people interested in this some of them were probably laughs so the delegates are starting to get interested in freeing trump is what happens next to make this a as more and more delegates read the book and realize what they can a few things are going to occur to one of those things is that whomever the party going to be as a result of their votes at the pure and nothing in other the delegates lay it off on the primary voters and primary voters did it every delegate owns his or her once they realize going to start i had one delegate email me this morning and ask how to get so i directed him to and then i your is there much other curious and the response there are at least eight or delegates and this was a delegation only going to number in the now that somebody is out there spearheading this i think going to go or so at laughs the only thing is some candidates getting infected with the does that need to happen they have to come forward until the if i were one of those i would keep my powder but i would be prepared in case the wheels come off the other if they something could happen in a member of the rules can you really imagine a majority of your fellow members voting for a conscience i think more than i rather suspect this has a good chance way better than a few weeks why direct primaries are bad for america in the donald trump has bashed bernie sanders has denounced populist sentiment is running strong in both political but what if our political system is already too open and what if the reforms of the last years have actually just made it harder for politicians to solve this is the argument that jonathan rauch a senior fellow at the brookings delivers in his new cover story for the atlantic magazine that we have our political system political reformers have attacked intermediaries as or all of the rauch have been busy demonizing and disempowering political professionals and which is like spending decades abusing and attacking your own immune you will get rauch recently sat down with yahoo news senior political correspondent jon ward to elaborate on his essay here at we were especially fascinated by what rauch had to say about the way we now pick our presidential nominees and why bad for the jon what are the key changes that have been made over the last few and why did they have a negative in your jonathan government and politics are hugely and they take thousands of politicians and activists to organize and millions of voters to and that happen you need systems like political machines and bargains and deals and incentives to make all that stuff work every otherwise just complete we had a lot of those they took many decades to build but a lot of us including me at earlier points like they seemed like they were unfair and undemocratic and but they were things like private negotiations where people could go and try to work stuff we opened those it became much more difficult to work things the biggest one of all was switching to direct they have their pros and their but one of the things politicians used to be able to do to incentivize people to follow if help me on this tough and i really need you to pass this you know going to help you win this and in a position to do because the party has some say over when i lost the ability to protect you in a tough you were off for the you become an in many renegade and when you add all this stuff very hard for leaders to i like to say we have a not a leadership crisis in a followership when you talk about direct talking about the reforms that happened starting around after the convention in they really go back more than a but it really starts taking effect in the because you had teddy and they started primaries in the early and then after the they started going to the more open primaries and and primary became so a lot of the insiders essentially lost their percent of americans say the use of superdelegates is a bad percent say a good among percent say superdelegates are a bad and only percent of democrats say a good and some quotes from people who were interviewed by the common man needs to be included said one another guy supposed to be one one the way it should underneath these quotes and these what is it that you think is driving these perceptions of how politics should and why do you feel that a few one is which has a long tradition in it goes back to andrew another is distrust of the a sense that these people have not done a very good and all of that is i would argue that a lot of gone wrong in the last or when people have been much less happy about politics over is actually the disempowering of these who are able look at the not just the small minority of voters who vote in who are not even representative of their own party but who control the process for the rest of they also look at the general the people who are going to come out on election and they try to what about those what do they what about people who may not go to the polls most years at so thinking about thinking about the interests of the party and the thinking about they know they have to pass bills on the next so very important that these institutional people also have a no one is saying they should have the only but the system works best when a mixed system when got some input from and

day before being given dry said being forced to sit in a facility in wet clothes is good for any of but these kids are especially tired and the biggest problem in view is that cbp processing centers

donald trump decided this week to roll out an ambitious and expensive plan to help working parents raise their which was remarkable for several the first is that trump seemed to have come up with the entire thing on as having spent many months repulsing american parents with his mockery of women and the he thought maybe he could wipe the slate clean with a tax the second is once the candidate who praised planned parenthood from the stage of a republican debate demonstrated that he has only the most tenuous ideological connection to the party leave aside all the stirring up of racial and trump turns out to be about as much of a conservative as but to the most remarkable thing about foray into social policy is the central role played by his daughter whom trump credited with having inspired and helped design the and who spoke alongside him at the rollout in according to my former colleagues at the new york ivanka said implementing the policy would be one of her top priorities after her father took which ought to make mike pence wonder what part of the portfolio she intends to share with by now it should be clear to all of us that ivanka and the other trump kids are looking at the american presidency as another potential family much like the pageant and that tremor feeling in the a minor thomas jefferson spinning violently in his before we get to the look at more recent the adult children of presidential candidates from george bush to the romney boys and now chelsea clinton have often played supporting roles as strategists and nothing novel about and in a family members

known as this republican convention should have come away understanding that the trump kids family in any traditional they are the platform of that convention made clear that trump has effectively cast aside the entity known as the republican party whose leaders largely stayed in any event and replaced it with his family the primetime speeches that would normally have been delivered by rising stars in the party were instead given by ivanka and donald and eric and if campaign is the closest thing seen in presidential politics to a reality then not so much as it is or up with the be crazy to think that the trump kids dominate his inner circle in the white just as they have in trump never met ivanka i be surprised to find that a person of real substance and a terrific mother to the children of other powerful and wealthy new yorkers clinton seem to think so but what you can learn from reading her very thorough wikipedia page a model and designer of jewelry and shoes who worked

congressional and state legislative race is being analyzed for insight into the direction of the democratic party after barack obama and hillary every result is another data every morning another opportunity to cram that data point into some the establishment is the outsiders are taking democrats are veering moderates are making a and so the press really to blame for these story even though perpetuating our relentless media machine runs on the quicker and clearer the but the reality about happening in these democratic primaries is more as reality often turns out neatly reflected in results and the dueling headlines that allegedly captured because the most interesting thing about the latest democratic developments is that outsider and establishment forces are both notching in it always clear and this says a lot about the future of the take marquee the battle of the abrams and for democratic gubernatorial supporters of stacey abrams at a primary election night event in jessica more national reporters had largely framed the race as competition between a black candidate and a white candidate with differing views of how to win statewide in the thinking would boost turnout among minority voters who comprise a growing share of the georgia electorate but who tend not to show up in evans would pursue the more traditional path for southern appealing to white workers and suburbanites souring on the controversial republican when abrams trounced evans tuesday the press tended to portray her as an outsider who had overcome the true that achievement could portend a historic result this if she defeats republican casey she will become the first female governor in winning as a black woman is harder than winning as a white woman but look a little closer and the whole outsider establishment narrative begins to as does the near synonymous for evans and abrams were virtually indistinguishable on the and while evans boasted endorsements from former democratic barnes and former democratic max abrams had establishment supporters as three of four democratic members of a bevy of state cory kamala kirsten gillibrand and chris coons and hillary current senators

fond of brash while fletcher favors reaching out to disaffected republicans and independents and certainly how the coverage is casting but reality quite so like and like many of the rest of this resistance fletcher is a female politician who was inspired to run in response to after meddling in the dccc backed and it never added fletcher to its red to blue endorsement it never attacked moser

and rookie political candidate amy mcgrath defied conventional wisdom by upsetting lexington mayor jim who was recruited by national while state clarke tucker another dccc red to blue congressional pick clobbered several candidates to his left in only contested democratic so what conclusions should political junkies draw from if not the reductive ones preferred by the perhaps something a little less polarized and a little more accepting of outcomes that fit into one box or the there are more outsiders and this the rise of rookie resistance candidates is one of the biggest stories of the cycle and democrats as a whole are moving to the that much was clear as soon as hillary clinton started bernie positions in the thing is that the establishment recognizes these and it is responding in why it go to the mat against or for why the white gubernatorial candidate in georgia got less support from national dems than her black and why the dccc immediately released a memo showing that mcgrath would be a strong politics is always going to be to some and good candidates who understand their constituents are always going to outperform their less less what those constituents want might

furious conservative whipped up by antigovernment have been sending ever more extreme leaders to where inevitably they meet up against the immovable reality of budgets and and the main job of the

are suddenly ahead in all the big going if you want to understand the larger dynamics at play in the election and how they are reshaping the clash between republicans and democrats in real from the top of the ticket to the bottom no better place to look than north and a problem for the once upon a the tar heel state was reliably at least on the presidential jimmy carter a southern governor with strong evangelical ties won there in but otherwise voted for every gop nominee from richard nixon in to george bush in and much of the time it even george bush trounced michael dukakis percentage points in and his son defeated another massachusetts john by more than a dozen points years why it was such a big deal when barack obama inched past john mccain in north carolina in his win seemed to signal some sort of minuscule margin of victory a mere votes suggested rather than voting democratic from here on voters would be toggling back and forth between the the fact that mitt romney recaptured the state in while losing nationally only confirmed the conventional north carolina might not be a solid red state any but it certainly transformed into a solid blue what to of the latest according to an street journal survey conducted between and by marist college one of only two firms awarded a statewide accuracy grade of by fivethirtyeight hillary clinton now leads donald trump by a staggering percentage points in north down incumbent republican richard burr is trailing democratic challenger deborah ross by points among registered percent to and in north gubernatorial incumbent republican pat mccrory is losing by points to democratic challenger roy who leads percent to of one poll does not a blue state but the recent trend lines are not encouraging for the fivethirtyeight specializes in forecasting election to do the model combines a adjusted polling average for each with then the election times to get each chance of from july to the fivethirtyeight model gave trump a better chance of winning north carolina than his odds peaked at but this as the polling has shifted in favor the two candidates have traded places and the gap between them has continued to clinton is a north marquee races appear to moving in the same mccrory led in pretty much every early but his democratic has come out ahead in six of the surveys released since the start of the other two showed a and the remaining two the only polls since march to give mccrory the edge were conducted by a conservative position seems to be improving as in marist showed him up by percentage points one month his lead has nearly doubled the picture quite as clear in the senate but early evidence of a shift may be burr finished first in every survey released before the presidential nominating conventions subsequent slide in the national polls but only two soundings have come out since and one of them from marist shows ross taking the a month the democrat trailed in the same poll by a dispiriting percentage now up by that swing could be a or it could be a sign of things to either the proof is piling north carolina for to be breaking toward the democratic ticket much and more than anyone in the obama campaign was ecstatic to win the state by percentage but if current trends clinton could clobber trump by points and propel a new democratic senator and governor into office with so going on in the tar heel and what does it say about the election as a there seem to be two factors at work the first is a combination of broader demographic changes that would have affected the race regardless of who was as analyst jennifer duffy of the cook political report recently put it north carolina is less of a southern state and more of a arit john of bloomberg politics elaborates the shift has been fueled by an influx of new residents from to city centers like raleigh and between and the number of north carolinians who lived in a city with people or more rose from percent to according to rebecca the director of carolina demography at carolina population during the same period the population grew from million to as it continues to become less rural and more democrats stand to because the kinds of voters who are driving this trend whites drawn to north burgeoning research triangle region and latino immigrants lured by the economy tend to be democrats in cook expects whites to comprise percent of the north carolina up from percent in at the same the share of the white voters who attend college is projected shrink from percent to only latinos were registered to vote in north carolina in today the number is over the long these are the groups that are turning then the second factor to donald unlike north changing population trump a a much more immediate he should frighten north carolina because his nationwide decline has coincided with mccrory and slipping numbers in the state and that suggests some sort of need to see more polling before we draw any definite but it hard to hypothesize about what that connection might the voters who have gradually been making north carolina more urban and purple whites and latinos just so happen to be the exact voters among whom trump is performing his the data tells the according to fox trump is currently pulling down a paltry percent among latinos well shy of the percent that george bush won in or even lackluster at the same clinton is trouncing trump by percentage points among whites a demographic that romney actually won by percentage points four years a republican presidential nominee who appealed to latinos and whites someone marco rubio might have slowed north leftward and the demographic trends are by the same a nominee like who repulses these groups in could have the power to speed it up and perhaps drag the rest of the ticket down with part of the reason clinton and her allies are bombarding the state with tv ads so trump has let their attacks go largely if the gop can convince voters in north carolina and elsewhere not to punish candidates for they may salvage control of the senate and rescue some endangered but right the tar heel state seems to be gravitating the other not a good sign for the poll position a weekly look at the latest data good news and bad news for republicans in this latest start with the good despite giving hillary clinton a advantage over donald trump in florida and despite the fact that of the republicans running in senate races have been polling worse since the conventions a new monmouth university survey suggests that marco rubio is bucking both trends and leading the two democrats vying to challenge him this senate primary is according to rubio currently holds a percent to percent lead over patrick his likeliest lead over alan grayson is at percent to why is rubio a late entrant who initially promised to retire from the senate at the end of the year performing so much better than gop senators the monmouth poll contains a few first of very and relatively more florida voters approve than disapprove of the job rubio has done in the and percent see him only percent have an unfavorable view of the percent of floridians have no opinion of when one of your choices is a former presidential candidate and the other is someone never heard the presidential candidate tends to do fairly trump hurting rubio the way hurting other such as new kelly percent of florida voters even aware that rubio eventually endorsed the republican probably more familiar with the remarks rubio made about trump during the presidential primaries this guy is a con artist than the remarks made about trump since then the time for fighting each other is over and rubio should try to keep it that of the floridians who knew about his trump percent told monmouth that it would actually make them less likely to vote for only percent said the now for the bad monmouth also released an indiana poll this week and in many the reverse image of boosted by his selection of hoosier state mike pence for trump is currently leading clinton by percentage points among likely but unfortunately for the that boost seem to be extending in the senate former democratic evan bayh like only launched his comeback bid earlier this summer leads his gop todd percent to like bayh who served two terms in the senate after serving two terms as governor is and in nearly half of indiana voters have a favorable view of while just percent view him hoosiers as familiar with a majority have no opinion of him at so popularity seems to be serving him while professional republicans have been attacking his work as a lobbyist and questioning his claims that he stayed in indiana after leaving the senate in early actual republican voters seem relatively in according to percent of trump voters are planning to split the ticket and vote for bayh as the same cannot be said of clinton only percent plan to vote for the effect of latest campaign shakeup the big news in presidential politics this week was donald decision to his campaign and bring in breitbart news executive chairman steven bannon as already been plenty of press about bannon and how he will influence trump short bannon will encourage the donald to be the donald or as trump told a wisconsin interviewer earlier this want to everyone talks going to i want to but so far been less talk about what sort of effect presence will have on relationship with the republican party especially in the timing of what many regard as an inevitable shift of rnc resources from campaign to races what we new campaign boss hates really hates the republican establishment as the daily beast bannon has used his perch at breitbart to the case that house speaker paul ryan is a liberal globalist trying to sell out the american worker to foreign islamist breitbart turned its guns on establishment republicans like senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and john with bannon himself taking aim at former republican house speaker john alleging was involved in a for political what we think we that this sort of attitude encourage party unity and may even convince the gop to throw trump overboard earlier than the cw starting to take top gop

in his latest yahoo news national political columnist matt bai takes issue with republican leaders paul ryan in particular for failing to disavow donald trump and devote themselves to saving candidates probably not going to win in november and party leaders want to be able to move on with an intact party and maybe even an energized bai let me offer an alternative way to look at the crux of argument is that current strategy everything we know about political more from his what republicans should have learned from the tea party uprising is that you really appease or absorb these kinds of their guiding principle is to upend party which is why john boehner is home in ohio despite having twisted himself like a yogi to avoid alienating the angriest new ron voters become party neither did ted and by not more explicitly renouncing increasingly appalling ryan and the others may well be fumbling the more genuine opportunity to expand their more and more and particularly younger are wary of party mainly because they suspect rightly that leaders too readily subvert overarching interests to their own partisan this at the a much larger problem for republicans than it is for according to the latest data from pew only about a third of the public sees the republican party democratic number is more than points if as the ranking were to finally say enough is enough whatever the consequences to himself or his he could no longer endorse candidacy and hope to teach his children anything about decency and public service at the same time then he would send a powerful signal

leapfrogging the usual roster of rookie offices in favor of a challenge to gop incumbent virgil goode in solidly conservative fifth congressional district a race perriello won by that skimpiest a mere less than two weeks after leaving office he withstand the tea party wave of perriello rushed to egypt to his way tahrir then spent lot of that year there and around the syrian border trying to understand the arab he went on to accept an even more challenging assignment from brokering the first peaceful transfer of power in the history of the democratic republic of at the ripe old age of tom perriello thinks he can save the democratic are trying a approach to democratic perriello told me as his suv rolled past the bare oak trees that line interstate between charlottesville and hope is that we win the race and run the table in the in doing we create a blueprint for democratic success in then that would be this could be the model that others if one thing democrats seem to agree that they keep doing what they did in and donald trump defeated hillary republicans hung on to the the remains in gop as do mansions and statehouses a record in recent could a candidate like tom perriello be the change that democrats have been waiting for aside from a few special there are only two big contests to obsess over in the races in new jersey and early they both seemed kind of but in perriello launched a surprise challenge to democratic ralph and the entire political press corps en on the old a couple of narrative threads have one is that the primary will pit a supposedly milquetoast virginia centrist against a bold progressive insurgent in a battle for the ideological soul of the democratic the other is that northam represents the political establishment every prominent democrat in the commonwealth has endorsed him while perriello represents authentic outsider both storylines liken northam perriello to last tussle between hillary clinton and bernie with northam in the clinton role and perriello as both have some truth to and both seem with who predicts that establishment backing will be political curse with the and made sure to remind me that his rival voted for george bush not but the i pay much attention to northam has what i know i was wrong and would have voted his campaign also vehemently denies that he is a pointing to his strong liberal track record on gun safety and reproductive health as yet as i discovered during my two days on the trail with the reality of is more nuanced and more interesting than the prevailing hot takes might perriello greets supporters as he arrives for a news conference at a park along the james river in on steve more from an electoral democrats have two and somewhat the first is finding a way to win back the almost in white working class voters who defected from the party last november the second is motivating their base black urban liberals to show up and vote in nonpresidential promise is that he can fix both problems at the same and despite what he might say on the stump at the start of a democratic the solution as simple as running as a when perriello was in he a member of the blue dog coalition gang of mostly mostly moderate democrats who were mostly wiped out in but he resembled them in some he cited moderates such as jim jon mark warner and tim kaine as models and wound up ranking as the most conservative democrat in the house he spoke of how his faith sustain me through difficult shapes my commitment to and defines my belief that we will ultimately have to answer for how we have treated the least among he received an a rating from the national rifle opposed an assault weapons ban and warned obama that even consider reinstating is an affront to our founding who so clearly understood the importance of the ordinary right to keep and bear and in he voted for the stupak which would have prohibited insurance companies that participate in the affordable care exchanges from covering the democratic party of is different from the democratic party of and running for governor is different than running for the virginia has changed too becoming much more diverse and accepting as perriello likes to but the big difference is that everything in politics revolves around donald and so perriello is making a bet in the age of what democrats basically need is a new breed of blue dog less conspicuous more colorbind working class just on the one you rally the left by loudly opposing the on the you actually try to win back trump not by emphasizing or or as your predecessors might but by focusing relentlessly on the economic anxieties that drove them to vote for the president the same economic that drove many democrats to vote for in a trump actually represents an opportunity for to rile up the base by resisting to create a new coalition by stealing his populist need to have a perriello told was speaking passionately about issues of job loss and corruption of the system years when those necessarily the mainstream talking this gives me credibility both with the base and with trump part of why in the he many democrats believe a status message is going to be when in fact if not starting to talk about the crisis emerging from automation and remonopolization of the we should not be surprised if people are not that inclined to show when i go

back in the summer of as affordable care act was winding its way through congress and the vast majority of democrats were busy ducking outraged activists and concerned perriello held town often fielding hostile questions for four or five hours at a also a clever bit of the vote on the republican bill to repeal the affordable care act is scheduled for this day the seventh as it of the day obama signed obamacare into the campaign has seized on the timing to remind virginians that perriello not only voted for the legislation but refused to run from his vote during election even though his district largely years we gathered around the tv and watched with pride wearing my tom went and cast his older tells the also points out that a just like their tom cast that he was not worried about he was thinking about the like the ones i see every whose parents are struggling to find affordable health care while also putting food on tom lost his seat in congress after voting for the but hundreds of thousand s of virginians are better in a is the perriello in he called it politics and praised candidates tester who from a deep sense of right and not a desire to position themselves on an artificial spectrum of and he even quoted country singer toby keith to explain what sort of congressman he aspired to may not like where but you sure know where i stand hate me if you want love me if you for the aca vote as well as similarly challenging votes for legislation and the dream act is proof that he perriello speaks at the the rally near the capitol on march just moments after republicans abruptly pulled their health care bill from the house tasos images for more as paige finishes the crowd leaps to its in the pew in front of a liberal woman named kate glances at her a lifelong almost as if looking for jeff nods but stayed kate joins the standing a big jeff tells just here to soon the candidate takes the he changed much since he last ran for a little less baby maybe and a little less hair but the square the collegiate voice and impatient energy are the still a bachelor as which is part of the reason he can do things like hold a campaign event every hour for hours straight one young woman and raised in the site of the virginia tech shooting asks perriello to position on gun then breaks down he explains that who have lost people have continued to push and push to change the politics and that includes with politicians like elsewhere perriello has promised to restrict access to guns with defensible role in sport or and said that the which he once called the of has become a extremist another woman asks about had read that while you were in congress you were labeled as a and of recently come out as being she i expect perriello responds that while always been he promised his constituents that he would vote against abortions a promise he has since come to after learning that it would prevent of color and poor from having to that despite these perriello never loses his he brings everything back to trump and the working anxiety about happening on capitol hill pervades the predominantly democratic but perriello frame the fight over obamacare in terms of interparty and he limit the fallout to millions of people losing their more than any democrat he talks about how your pocketbook will take a is a billion tax cut for people making million or more a year this a massive unpaid tax cut for millionaires and perriello the real of is who picks up the the middle because what happens when million people lose health they go back to the emergency room and catastrophic and how is that cost passed to middle class people in their spent a lot of time in the more conservative parts of and i found a county yet that considers that a winning formula for electoral as the crowd thins i reconnect with jeff and the says he likes what he think gotten away from listening to he tells elected to represent your not your it sounds to me like what perriello tries to the next the candidate picks me up at the crack of dawn for the ride to where he will be touring a community health care center called the daily on the we perriello has a lot to about about ed gillespie former lobbyist and republican national committee chair whose likely to win the gop about why he will beat both of about as he can serve as a firewall against both republican legislature and the in perriello tours the daily planet community health center in on march andrew more but most interested in policy in whether perriello can actually use his innate wonkiness to bring the base and at least some trump voters of says are enormous opportunities for a new bipartisan he conversation has and the existing political establishment in both parties is starting to catch up to that with baby but the people are four steps ahead of where they with the right kind of we can catch up to the what are some i talking to law enforcement people and the people who run our prison they feel like being asked to be mental health providers of first and they know not their area of he we have passed a tipping point in terms of interest across very diverse constituencies to address the mental health same goes for opioids and ptsd among legislature has been taking some positive perriello the people are ready for a bolder another obsession of is the ongoing remonopolization both geographically and of the was curious whether people would be he found that they they understand that the jobs have been leaving and moving into fewer and fewer zip codes and fewer and fewer and in talking to people about there has been a lot of interest in ideas we would describe as radical people like the idea of getting back to decentralized food production and energy this goes beyond the normal political the list goes if perriello were bernie sanders he would be proposing free public college for he thinks place we should prioritize are these alternate including apprenticeship career and technical education and community we give a massive tax cut to the richest corporations in republicans call it an investment that will to the rest of he when we talk about investing in human beings by making community college they call it a welfare or entitlement the second we start to realize that the purchasing power of the working and middle class that drives growth is the moment we can start to build new decision to turn down donations from the statewide energy monopoly dominion a first for a just about good also about how virginia is solar jobs to north carolina and wind jobs to as a result of the influence with both parties in and how in virginia particularly in communities of color and rural white that been excluded from growth because of our broken and insular political even perhaps the least visceral of political is a pocketbook concern for noting that the next governor will have the opportunity to undo a worth of gop he argues that radical district maps are why virginia has a lower minimum wage than west and why we have not been able to get universal virginia had been ranked in all these ways as the best place to do the best place to raise a moved down in those measures largely based on underinvesting in infrastructure and education and the barrier to that is a legislature that reflect the have found that connecting those dots has been extremely resonant on the he if you are looking at things that the rest of the country can learn from i believe we will make redistricting a significant electoral issue this with we arrive at the daily and the candidate embarks on his before perriello can implement any of his big he needs to win two the primary and the neither outcome is perriello and northam are tied at percent in the latest poll and neither democrat leads gillespie in a hypothetical all of the democratic delegates and state senators in virginia have endorsed as have warner and both of whom are former and as the washington post recently pointed out has spent years building an army of loyalists across the state who can amplify his voice and do the single most important thing an get voters to show up at the the rest of will only reinforce his belief that the right man for the be running if trump he told me is a moment of deeply turbulent that change is either going to take the form of an unraveling of a lot of the core elements of our society or going to create a backlash that allows a more inclusive and progressive coalition to come forward and after the daily perriello heads straight to health care vote never been

similar the most recent were released by the fbi just this the annual measure of the number of hate crimes reported in the united states the previous the fbi defines a hate crime as traditional

cities and other in their numbers for are looking in six largest more than hate crimes have been committed so far this up percent from the same period in reason not surprised is this is just another indication of a coarsening of relations in america in the past year or particularly aimed at people of color and certain religious hearing a former leader of the free world concede that hate is having a a turning point an admission impossible to why is this and why we put hate the bigotry that bush denounced as a against the american behind the is hatred of outsiders has been a cyclical thing in and we seem to be in such a cycle economic and social insecurity fuels and new forms of communication the especially helps it but psychologists and sociologists over the last few decades have begun to understand the qualities that make a person susceptible to what was once called meaning fear of outsiders a useful term that perhaps deserves to be resurrected in and understanding how people are recruited into hate is a first step in combating hate in america began even before there was an among benjamin many written rants against what he called the swarthy was should founded by the english

complexion of my for such kind of partiality is natural to this wariness of is one of the entwined threads that form the foundational myths of the country of a melting pot contains within it an assumption that blending in rather than standing out is what is the ideal of pulling oneself up by bootstraps assumes an upper and lower rung of social order with membership rules determined by those already at the and so any graph of emotional temperature over time would show periods of exclusion punctuated by spikes of outright hate in a look under the hood as a consensus begins to emerge among experts that the friction now from to may represent yet another one of those hateful worth considering what the present moment has in common with the and how it the lesson learned from such a look is that while history and psychology act on our prejudices in predictable hate manifests itself differently in every haters the radicals of the are not nearly as powerful as adolf or as pervasive as the bigots of the jim crow but that mean like all waves of this newest one comes with distinct origins and unique the rise of the has been enabled by changing norms and technology that make it easier to become radicalized in the first in the rise of hate within america shares roots with the rise of hate toward the same tools and trends are helping to facilitate both terrorism and in is becoming more accessible than ever before and that poses a and particularly human beings have always harbored the pathways to experts tell are hardwired into our but how does the psychology of prejudice actually one of the earliest attempts to grapple with hate in psychological terms was instincts of the herd in peace and war a case study of german sentiment by british neurosurgeon wilfred trotter sensed primal forces psychological mechanisms of the at work in orchestrating groupthink it until the rise of the that psychological inquiries into the nature of hate really took theorists of the time came to regard prejudice as and they tried to link racism and to specific personality a crowd of german children and soldiers give the nazi salute on june more the most influential of these efforts and the most widely criticized was the authoritarian personality a nearly tome authored by philosopher theodor a refugee from nazi and a team of psychologists from the university of employing what they called the a novel way of measuring fascistic tendencies adorno and company claimed to have identified a new authoritarian personality type thinkers who obeyed saw the world as black and and enforced strict adherence to social rules and authoritarians became authoritarians for reasons that freud would according to the and they were more susceptible to bigotry especially bigotry as a the assumption that prejudice was a personality soon fell out of in harvard psychologist gordon allport published a landmark the nature of prejudice that synthesized existing knowledge on the subject and came to a disturbing prejudice deviant at but rather all too human the natural extension of normal psychological human mind must think with the aid of allport categories are the basis for normal we cannot

see their own group as superior and seek to maximize their advantage over other psychologist henri tajfel explained this on the basis of what he called social identity according to groups offer people two key identity tell us who we and make us feel good about only according to that people believe their own group is better than other in bias is so potent that it can alter our perceptions of the differences between decades of research into known as the homogeneity have shown that we tend to see members of another nationality even academic as an undifferentiated group defined by common while members of our own according to scott plous of wesleyan university appear to constitute a diverse assortment of this illusion in deform our sense of why others do what they in social psychologist thomas pettigrew described what he called the attribution a double standard that explains negative outgroup behavior as dispositional just what those people are while dismissing positive outgroup behavior as a a stroke of the product of lots of as blatant displays of bigotry declined in recent psychologists turned their attention to the prejudice that lurks below the surface the implicit bias that most people even realize they think implicit bias is a problem for hillary clinton declared during last first presidential debate the most famous yardstick of implicit bias is the implicit association or that was developed nearly years ago by mahzarin banaji current chair of harvard psychology and anthony greenwald a highly regarded social psychologist at the university of to the racial version of the test has been taken online more than million it asks subjects to associate positive words with white faces and negative words with black then do the the difference in reaction times is taken as evidence that making a positive association with members of a different race creates cognitive but while the tendency to treat familiar faces with care and foreigners with caution may be instinctive certainly part of human culture the mere fact that our circuitry and civilization are conducive to prejudice explain why some people act on their biases and others even realize biased to begin so how does bias become and why is white nationalism on the rise claim to promote white identity and push for the creation of a white critics say white nationalism is merely a sanitized public version of white which holds that whites are a superior yahoo news uses the two terms interchangeably throughout this capacity to hate is relatively says brian a history professor at the university of virginia and a host of a popular history there are certain circumstances that tend to bring it front and hate has been simmering under the surface of american life since the there have been ebbs and flows of directed at specific such as the the targets of the chinese exclusion act of but historians generally agree that america has endured four especially hateful eras and that each of them can help us figure out happening the first began during when the ku klux klan emerged in the defeated its malice aimed at freed slaves who were exercising newly granted confederate cavalrymen led by nathan bedford later the first grand wizard of the ku klux killing unarmed black union soldiers after the surrender of fort pillow in more the early when klan activity increased now directed at recent immigrants particularly catholics and jews from southern and eastern those years marked the first era that immigration quotas were established in the the also known as the of the depression in this episode during the more than half a million mexican immigrants including of the entire mexican population of los angeles were repatriated by the hoover among these were hundreds of thousands of children who were born in the and therefore american these were followed in the next decade by the japanese internment camps during world war then came the civil rights movement of the and when the two steps forward in voting rights and housing and school desegregation sparked the one bloody and chilling step backward of racial lynchings in the south and race riots in the and the final major spike on the many sociologists who study hate believe we are at the beginning of it right now a period that is in its own way as dark while also substantially different some of the worst of times that came carol chair of studies at emory university and the author of the book offered some examples in a recent essay salutes at a gathering of white nationalists shortly before the an uptick in reported hate crimes across the the killing of richard collins by a white supremacist in the double homicide and severe wounding of good samaritans defending teen girls in portland from another white the nooses found at and near the national museum of african american history and any analysis of american requires parsing what these eras do and do not have in albert an emeritus professor of history at stanford specializes in the study of american believes all hateful chapters start with the same stewing a a feeling of problems are caused by someone else and something needs to be done about fundamental whether talking about the or the or the times between and economic uncertainty also plays a major role john in his seminal analysis of american in the found a correlation between downturns in economic opportunity and the emergence of during more prosperous southern whites lost wealth with the emancipation of the slaves and whites lost jobs to a newly freed during the white workers blamed their struggles on mexican although the newcomers statistically even worse relatives and friends wave goodbye to a train carrying illegal mexicans being deported from los angeles to mexico in ny daily news archive via getty more a second and related factor these eras share was the feeling that a group that was accustomed to being was looking over their shoulder at a group threatening to overtake a strand of people acting as if they are independent when others think they should says nell irvin emeritus professor of history at princeton where she taught history and a former president of both the organization of american historians and the southern historical during that notion manifested itself in attempts by the kkk to keep newly liberated blacks from during the it was a reaction to sheer numbers more than a million immigrants arrived each year in the united states before the literally changing the complexion of american creating the highest ratio ever of to the response by congress was sharp curbs on mostly notably the act of whose washington state albert was described by his biographer as a and the passage of his johnson would end acceptance of all in the last factor that all these eras had in common was political and cultural leadership that condoned the expression hateful after world war that was provided by president woodrow who had worked to resegregate employees of the federal government and who held a screening of the blatantly racist film birth of a in the white during the civil rights era it was personified by such politicians as lester strom thurmond and george a scene from film birth of a depicting ku klux klan members riding horses against in the library of congress added work to the national film calling it a explicitly but landmark american film more and what role do these factors play in the current outbreak of white there is ample evidence that all three are at historians there is a feeling of deep economic the great recession of upended the for millions of and recovery has been americans lost an estimated trillion in household wealth in that and while the highest earners have regained more than they those at the bottom have recouped as little as of their coupled with that is the realization by some that they are regressing in other partly owing to the opioid life expectancy is decreasing in the for the first time since the aids the millennial generation is predicted to be the first to be less well off than their entire industries face disruption and in some cases but economics now appear to play a secondary role in speaking of the white supremacist marches at the university of where he is a professor of balogh lot of those protestors were fairly well to invest in the weaponry and equipment they came i think you pay the cost of all and the cost of without having no question that if you pull the camera back you could argue that this is a moment of incredible flux for the a of certain jobs but that the linear reason why many of those individuals were marching and clashes at the the rally in evelyn hockstein for the washington post via getty more more he economics served as backdrop for the second factor the feeling that a historically dominant in this case white feel that dominance the percentage of whites in the is currently at just over a record low recently as the country was percent and is projected to dip below percent by already nearly half of american children under age are of races other than and by there are expected to be more nonwhites in america younger than than there will be whites in the same age a lot of these they perceive their world slipping through their fingers and other people benefiting from their says not to say there elements of truth in their world but when that fear is projected on another group of then it expresses itself as now as then there is the ascendance of leadership that is seen to condone the worst forms of it is not painter and others that this reactionary uptick follows the two terms of the first think the spark this time around was the obama which i think shook a segment of america to the she was the embodiment of a political societal which has been taking place for the past couple of generations but this made it the election of the next balogh left those who racial superiority to feel emboldened to speak he does not believe that all of donald supporters are but rather that those who are sense permission and even support from the current barack obama with his takes the oath of office to become the president of the united states on ron more very important role of donald trump personally and elements of the republican party was to help make this seem like legitimate public he is hard to in the war ii any president who legitimized the views of white nationalism and white supremacism as effectively as donald trump studies have substantiated this a working paper by the national bureau of economic research found that more participants were willing to openly donate money to an organization after the election than before the election and last university of kansas psychologist chris crandall asked both before the election and in the days to rate how normal it was to denigrate members of various minority both clinton and trump supporters were more likely to report that such discrimination was acceptable after election of people criticized dwight eisenhower on race and felt he could have done felt he could have been more balogh he was not in fact a thought leader on he like brown the supreme court decision that ended legal school balogh when school doors were barred to black school children in little sent while richard nixon campaigned on his opposition to school busing and george bush ran the intended to create white fear of black these things were miles away from embracing white nationalist thought or putting people who embraced it close to themselves in the oval balogh points would be to find any example in all this history of a leader who said anything like were some nice people standing among the what president trump actually said in the wake of tragic events in after a the rally descended into violence and death was even more emphatic than balogh had some bad people in that trump declared you also had some people who were very fine these were not bad not and white he they were protesting very even taking down of a statue of robert watched those very trump addressing the national more closely than you people watched however closely he may have his conclusion was demonstrably as conservative journalist stephen hayes has pointed out there was really only one kind of at that rally the white supremacist its jason is an avowed white nationalist the purpose of the according to promotional was to protect right of white people to organize for our its speaker list was a who of white nationalist its participants shouted and and and will not replace and according to a nonprofit dedicated to preserving some from our group attended the protests or we all stayed as everybody should have confusion the fact that he says he saw fine where there were only white supremacists is because what psychology and history would indicate he saw when he those very on was white supremacists who conform to his he saw white supremacists in white polo shirts and khakis not white white supremacists with college like a uva grad not a motley crew of white supremacists with sharp haircuts not swastika white supremacists who were fluent in pop culture not confined to a backwoods compound in idaho or this is what hate is starting to look like in america better more prosperous and more than of the are qualitatively different from the kkk of a generation political scientist george the author of making sense of the has very very and they have a lot of time on their the fact that even the president of the united states tell these protesters were white supremacists is a troubling sign of how the audience for bigotry is broadening and how some of the old psychological barriers to hate are breaking white nationalists march through the university of

nationalist movements in the sprawling cast of ranging from brooks richard spencer to internet troll andrew anglin journalists have explored the movement from several different economic and but what no one has really explained is the psychology of it experts have plenty to say about the roots of yet when it comes to actual bigotry bias that crosses the line into deliberate word or deed the

double her comments came on an episode of your a podcast popular with millennial released of the things we talk about on the show a lot is how authenticity can really be a concept when it comes to you and the double said aminatou who the podcast with journalist ann replied who is in the midst of a book tour for a nearly look at her run for the presidency as the female in the clinton told try to be as candid as i and some reviewers have her guard is you pulled the curtains back and we get a all of which is if it helps people understand two have been a pretty consistent person my entire and i have been an advocate and an activist and then later came to but through it all talked about the same things our democracy and i have tried to be as clear as i as i i was always taken aback because interviewers would always are you really running for i see them asking marco rubio or bernie sanders or ted are you really running for always was struck by clinton do you if only be her authentic well my authentic self is what you see is what you and i was not going to be enticed or berated into being something that the routine questioning about motivations a constant stress for me clinton the larger point is it comes in part from the double standard and the remaining confusion about women in the public if too strong and people like if too people like if you change your hairstyle people are going to are definitely going to talk about sow chimed said the list goes still a lot of remaining discomfort with the idea of a woman clinton said she hoped her book would reach younger women who might not have had her back during her bid for the white lot of young women were reported during the campaign as i just think this women stuff is important not a you i think and actually the older you get and the more you run into obstacles and the challenges of you family and work and all the rest of the more you understand at she i hope more young women will read this and and maybe talk about it with their they also talked about the topic of with sow expressing the view that some wonder why she she clinton explained that she is angry but that ultimately she finds anger inadequate to what democrats are remain frustrated and i remain dismayed and sometimes even angry about the continuing injustices and she what happened in this election that really was shocking is that a misogynistic candidate who insults women how they how much they how they behave got elected because people were willing to overlook his admission of sexual they were willing to overlook his in pursuit of the political partisan and i worry has given permission for others to be overtly sexist and as well as racist and prejudiced against religious and sexual orientation have to be willing to acknowledge your and your determination to do something about but anger is not good for you bad for your it upsets your it may cause other so i want people to just be i want people to be clinton know in the reviews of this a number of reviewers have i i am but i also know that if only i sound the alarms trying to sound in the about sexism and about voter suppression of and young people in about the russians who not only impacted our election but are still working against so i have a list of things that make me really angry that trying to be strategic in why she started the group onward together to provide

cleveland told the new york times in are all these trump everyone we know is supporting somebody but now more than halfway through three territories and the district of columbia have entrance and exit polls have been conducted in of those more than actual voters have been if you want to know which americans trump is performing best with not in but at the ballot box you simply have to sift through the results at the same researchers have been busy probing the intentions and two of the most interesting polling projects the rand presidential election panel and the institute for the study of citizens and politics panel at the university of pennsylvania have returned again and again to the same measuring how their perspectives and preferences have changed over there in other no shortage of data on trump yet even the best polling has its it can tell you a lot about big groups of but it tell you all that much about the people and the way the polls are publicized is even more with headlines that treat a strongest demographic as if it were his or her only so yahoo politics is trying something decided to take advice and the cameras to focus on supporters in much the same way the media has focused on trump to look at them as people rather than plenty of trump fans have been quoted in the chiming in here or there after a but our goal is to dig after talking to scores of trump voters in more than a dozen we identified six who seemed to embody the spectrum of support and whose stories supplied the sort of nuance that numbers alone ron an insurance agent from eileen a mother of two from justin a vehicle maintenance foreman from rick a semiretired contractor from royal nell a real estate agent from and a lawyer from then we circled spending hours with each of asking about their their their fears of their fondness for all six are profiled polls and studies have taught us a lot about the trump since the institute for the study of citizens and politics has been surveying the same panel of many of whom have sided with trump in the current gop the most recent survey wrapped up in early the as iscp political science professor daniel hopkins recently put provide unparalleled look at trump attitudes long before they even knew trump would whether in or so what did hopkins prior to the people who would go on to back him in rated themselves much less conservative than the people who would go on to back ted the distinction was most pronounced on social future trump supporters were almost as as future hillary clinton they were also a little less opposed to marriage than future cruz yet they were more populist on economic issues as slightly more supportive of government spending in a bit less likely to favor repealing and far more hostile toward in they were markedly less likely to have favored a pathway to citizenship for illegal on foreign future supporters tended to call themselves but in compared to those who would later support they were far more likely to oppose keeping troops in iraq a position that neatly aligns with they also scored higher on measures of and prejudice than voters who would go on to back either cruz or marco rubio a theme that has continued to resurface in coverage of the the rand poll fleshed out these contrary to popular rand found that a substantial proportion of the gop primary electorate is relatively liberal on pocketbook percent or favored increasing taxes on individuals who make more than a for while percent had a favorable or very favorable opinion of labor trump performed especially well with these outpacing cruz by percent among republicans who raising taxes on the rich and percent among republicans who feel toward labor rand also found that trump benefited from biases against and women clobbering cruz among republicans who that threaten american customs and and trouncing the texan among republicans who that who complain about harassment cause yet the strongest indicator of support for trump stronger than employment educational household attitudes toward attitudes toward illegal immigrants or attitudes toward hispanics was a feeling of according to republicans were percent more likely to prefer the manhattan mogul if they or agreed that like me have any say about what the government supporters form a powerful populist coalition uniting concerns about immigrants and other groups with support for economically progressive the rand study most of the rand and iscp observations were borne out once republicans started voting in in state after state whether trump finished first or not entrance and exit polls have showed that he consistently garners a higher percentage of the vote among certain segments of the electorate than he does trump tends to overperform among for example usually by five or more percentage the same goes for voters who cite immigration as their top in he fared percentage points better among these voters than he did among ohioans the list of indicators for supporting trump runs voters over voters who earn less than a voters white who graduate from voters from rural voters who are at the voters who are about the voters who think trade voters who fear that they are voters who think that illegal immigrants ought to be voters who believe that muslims should be temporarily banned from entering the voters who are convinced that the gop nominee should come from the voters above all want a president who it like it or can about needed voters who settled on their candidate of choice more than a month ago dig through the entrance and exit polls and find that these are the primary voters with whom trump always and so a narrative has taken shape in the trump supporters are and angry even but the truth is more to be some trump fans especially the ones black protesters at rallies may resemble this yet relatively few trump voters belong to every single one of the categories listed most of them answered yes to some even just of these questions and no to the rest strongest supporters his only he is winning among other demographic groups as trump beat his rivals among women in new south florida and in he won as usual but he also won voters who cited the government spending and terrorism as their top in trump won college graduates and voters under in north he won voters making more than a these groups may not fit the trump but they are part of his none of the trump supporters profiled here completely fit the actual human beings rarely ron vance says he just he supported hillary clinton in the democratic primary

when i first met eileen schmidt was standing near the back of a packed gymnasium at the university of iowa in iowa city listening to donald trump but it was her son that i had noticed a kid with hands that seemed to be a little too big for his had climbed on a barricade separating reporters from the trying to get a better look at the republican presidential hopeful at what turned out to be a raucous a few days before the iowa i had never seen a child more excited at a political he laughed at and cheered wildly as protesters were including one who had thrown a tomato in the out of he chanted along with but it was what dylan was wearing that caught my he was in an trump campaign emblazoned with the logo america great on the left side of his chest was pinned a political button that has been a bestseller at trump rallies across the the out of it memorializing a trump quote from last november on how he would protect the country from i had seen that button on plenty of but never a kid much less one in where parents tended to frown on dylan had picked out the button himself as he waited in line for the trump rally that night with his mom and little was kind of eileen later told i was ok with i agree with what the button security is a big issue for a registered nurse who is completing a graduate degree in health she worries about the threat of isis and attacks like massacre in san bernardino and the bombings tuesday in have no idea why barack obama has not taken care of she feel that the isis situation has caused a lot of and it just i feel donald trump needs to go in and bomb the hell out of it and just be done with she also supports proposal to build a wall along the border as a way of curbing illegal which she says is taking away jobs and causing an uptick in crime in her the as it makes her feel unsafe because there are no controls on who is coming she nation is like a she my i have locks on my i have blinds on my i let people into my home who i want to be let in my the illegal immigrants need to we need to stop letting these people in who are not who are who are violating who violating our in many other schmidt is the epitome of an iowa a but has often crossed party lines to support other candidates when she feels they would be good she voted for bill clinton twice and still thinks he did a good job as for that last referring to his scandalous dalliance with a white house she later supported george bush and mitt romney she said of the former massachusetts governor and gop who is now leading the effort to deny the nomination to who grew up in wisconsin before moving to iowa years was at first skeptical about she had been vaguely aware of him as a businessman and as a tabloid as host of when trump announced he was running for president last summer and began to gain momentum in the she believe a man famous for saying as know about this schmidt recalled telling her just really like the but who had at first leaned toward supporting texas ted began researching trump as she and her husband tried to figure out who would be the best candidate in the more i read about the more fascinated i she she admired his work ethic and his ability to pick himself up and move on after has built an incredible life and she worked hard for everything he hearing schmidt talk about trump brings to mind how people talked about barack obama eight years in she sees a candidate who can bring hope and change in an era of economic she and her husband live in just west of iowa where the university of iowa is the biggest the where schmidt works and also goes to has kept the region relatively secure but she said people are still her who runs his own excavating has seen competitors go out of business as construction jobs have dried who sits on the local school says that more students than ever are signed up for the program because their parents have lost their jobs or are barely able to pay their afford to she what truly makes her angry is washington the gridlock and the growing waste is she said of the federal and as a scared for the financial future of the you are sitting on a debt load of there is a going to fall on my kids and and what are they going to it makes me had to work for everything i have but what are they doing in the leadership is not the fulfillment is not where is our country scary to schmidt acknowledges political inexperience including on foreign affairs is willing to take a gamble in order to change the status quo because is a she thinks his business abilities will make him more willing to compromise and find solutions to problems in ways that no other candidate in the race she also likes how he tells it how it is and seems to understand the everyday struggles of people like sometimes he says things schmidt but not going to hurt our country by being me how it she tell me what i want to schmidt made the decision to back trump late last though she told many at the hospital that where she works the to she told her colleagues she was planning to attend the trump rally on iowa city is a democratic stronghold in the but schmidt was surprised to find that many of her no matter their party were curious about and even supportive of think there a lot of secret trump schmidt holly bailey the independent a lot of voters like to say independents true free neither democrat nor almost none of them actually and then ron vance one recent sunday vance drove to a parking lot in to see ted cruz an insurance agent by with an even a husky and an was wearing a rugby shirt emblazoned with the seal of alma when i met him even though vance himself attended edinboro we bonded over presidential then we got to talking about his own political carter was my first vance told me in his pittsburgh i voted for carter again because i thought reagan was going to get us into world war when that never i this guy a crackpot like everyone said he so the next time i voted for vance went on to explain that he has bounced back and forth between the parties ever from george bush to clinton as bad as i thought he would to al gore and john kerry bush bright to mccain and romney obama was young and he even voted for hillary clinton in the democratic i was in more than a decade of interviewing i had never encountered anyone quite like and he was about to surprise me who are you voting for in i he when the rest of the country thinks of trump it tends to think of certain maybe even what the the pollsters and the political scientists have taught people to ron vance really any of those he has a college he studied history in grad a and and he particularly pissed but the more i talked to the more i started to regard him as emblematic of the larger trump there was something about his support of the manhattan mogul that went deeper than vance grew up in deer a community near after raising the his mother went to work cleaning houses and waiting his like most other men in the slaved away in a steel he happy about dad was really but there any other vance he drummed into my brother and will not work in a steel you will go to he even let me go in i had to sit in the he wanted a better life for his after vance entered the insurance throughout the his career was on the a series of promotions took him from tucson to denver to houston to los angeles to san he was really nice money penn mutual shuttered its bay area and vance was out of he landed another position in but that too ended with vance losing his after i just vance told he moved to las vegas his parents had retired to nearby pahrump and took a job fielding customer complaints at the rio on a flight to vance met a woman from new jersey named they stayed in touch for seven years by email and and in he proposed and moved to the east a few months the economy and both vances got laid kathy was just shy of years at was vance told did i do i do anything happened to me twice how do you think i with nothing left for them in new the vances decided to purchase an allstate franchise in where they could live in the house ron had inherited from his so business has been and vance has recently taken to driving a taxi on the his day starts at vance told and i asked vance about america great did it resonate with has america gotten he fallen apart the last i here i a calculus class away from a bs in i have ba in minor in speech i have a cebs and driving a taxi for minimum for a certain kind of politics has never really been about character has always mattered maybe or the hardship of job loss after job either he seems to care less about finding a candidate who agrees with him on every issue than he does about finding a candidate who has the to upend the status for trump is that does he say some stupid vance not as nutty as everybody thinks he just playing the the guy has good common horse those buildings go up in new york city by i even imagine what trump had to deal with how many whatever their demographic many trump fans seem to have at in common with people who feel that america treating them as well as it used and they have a hunch that it will take the right person than the right blend of policy proposals to fix is mexico gonna pay for the vance told at least trump will and with a guy like who as someone once definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again

community that makes her appreciate hardline vow to build a wall on southern border and his disparaging remarks about mexican immigrants have drawn the ire of other but delgado said she was

position except for the muslim which i thought was a bit but delgado went on to dismiss call for a temporary ban on muslim immigration as more of off the cuff than a policy and eager to elect a leader who speaks think we need to rethink what we consider and presidential to me nowadays is not a typical politician that runs everything that he says by members of his delgado somebody who speaks off the who speaks from the and speaks directly to and almost sounds like how our neighbors delgado once again expressed admiration trump is able to connect with average americans in spite of his sounds like a mechanic i absolutely love that he has that ability to communicate with americans on their said delgado sees trump as a in supporting she has found herself she has found opposition from both liberals and republican in the delgado penned columns for the national but the conservative magazine rejected one supporting before it published an entire issue disparaging him in not conservatism and just not good journalism or good delgado said of the no never going to contribute there i have no interest unless they apologize to trump and his hunter walker the working man everywhere he justin neal sees other americans refusing to play by the same rules he friends he knows in his community stay unmarried tokeep receiving health care benefits for their one friend of has so abused his body with drugs and alcohol that he now is unable to work and is on collecting benefits that he spends on his at marine corps base where the neal is a foreman in the vehicle maintenance the parts supplier that shop buys from has a guaranteed contract that allows him to mark up his and pays no overhead because the government provides a not even buying toilet neal neal and his have been married since they were both and live with their two teenage daughters in about minutes outside feel that i am a productive member of society that works i have good and in my heart i try to do right by by my and by the people i deal with every neal neal is a trump voter because he thinks trump will make the government more and stop money from being given to people who he believes need taking resources away from those who biggest quality is his biggest i know that he has a neal the business it seems like the people with those qualities the neals first started to question the way government assistance is distributed years when shelley lost her job as a financial adviser in the aftermath of the we went as long as we could without her and we had no choice but to have her go down and file for neal was a blow to her were not proud that we had to do he but week after as shelley went to file paperwork at the unemployment she encountered many people who did not have any problem with taking unemployment and told shelley they would make less money if they went back to work than they were getting from the were a lot of people filling out job applications that i have no chance in hell in shelley eventually found a job with the local public school scaled and she took a major pay cut and worked her way neal now he drives through a subsidized housing neighborhood near his and sees bmws parked on the see somebody living in housing but yet can buy rims and drive nicer cars than me by all not jealous of what other people have define me but just another one of those things you kidding neal is not wrong that government assistance from food stamps to disability insurance has increased over the past for there were million americans receiving food stamps in a significant increase from million in estimates of how many americans receive some form of federal program from million on the low end to million on the high neal said nothing donald trump has said in particular about cracking down on those who abuse the government benefits system that has attracted his his impression that toughness and business acumen would lead the gop frontrunner to make think that kind of work ethic would fly in a private neal think he would implement a lot of those standards into the government workforce if he were to become neal is also drawn to trump because he believes the businessman can translate his skills into a rejuvenation of the guy is a genius when it comes to building like a mad neal really do think he knows how to change things to make our economy a lot stronger than what it i think once our economy gets a lot of things will get he all know how it is when money gets everybody gets neal was raised in in the northern virginia suburbs just outside the son of two federal his father was a vietnam veteran who went to work for the post office and his mother was a cia he knew by the time he was in high school that he wanted to work with his about all the men on my side of the family were he he graduated high took a few community college courses and then decided to go to trade probably seen me reading a car magazine more than a he he was sometimes bitter to see childhood friends it a little but now sees his austere upbringing as a accomplished and received is so much more fulfilling because it given to and we worked really hard for said really just gives us a massive amount of doing great again and it made it that much better for that we rose up and he think that the past eight been told that things are so bad that the only way going to get fixed is if we rely on government to fix them for and i think people have just sat back and promised to fix it for and if going to fix why do i need to fix neal and neal also believes there is a for those in the ruling bothered in congress who get free health care anytime they need it and then turn around and make decisions about our health care and neal wrote in an is contempt towards congress or elected officials who are by their title to balance a budget and make but when they they take a vacation and think about it before coming back to the if the average american were to take that stance at they would be fired for

heard over the deafening soundtrack of elton john and the rolling stones songs selected by the candidate at this look at the people around us was a mix of young and there were parents with college types and people in there were even a few hispanics a rare sight at mostly a speech would be interrupted by clashes between supporters and but for frisbie saw a calm speaking to all kinds of she motioning around giving people hope that the country can be turned around even an old white head like no other candidate is doing frisbie has never backed a candidate like trump but she thinks the country and even members of her party are on the wrong for the election is about future her grandkids and their she worries about the growing national debt and paralyzing gridlock in and though she acknowledges lack of political she sees him as a necessary agent of change who can shake things country is in she an old and it matters less for but going to go down to trump is a but worth the setbacks in her own life make promise to america great resonate strongly with she and her a retired lost their home in hurricane katrina in they have flood so they relied on federal grants and drained their but that was only the beginning of the real estate business took a hit because there were no homes to for more than two they lived on credit cards and watched as their retirement nest egg

returned to her concerns about the culture of the citing drugs and an uptick of especially in the inner she sees trump as a vehicle for restoring order in a society that is to have too many internal she have the enemy within that we need to frisbie also likes that trump is largely his campaign and appear beholden to not obligated to so not taking orders or having to vote or push a policy that he believe she she shrugs off the concerns that many raise about trump that too around the that say he like she obviously likes had three asked about the sentiment expressed by many in the upper echelons of the gop that trump is for the frisbie says she agree but acknowledges he could tone down some of his rhetoric and work to appear more think that would be good for him and be good for the she might

enjoying if not he thinks the controversy over trump university is his own exposure to he me what i needed to not have to worry about a lot of the things that a lot of people have to worry and he thinks trump can do the same for the cruz is not an angry trump as trump himself has before changing his there are two donalds then cruz is voting for the sober not the ranting the optimist who will make america great not the xenophobe who thinks the country has to be rescued from the brink of cruz thinks the inflammatory remarks about mexican immigrants been said a little but while hateful people in the world are going to think of as hate the silent or the majority out realize that what saying that all in this and we want to be and we want a united rhetoric cruz agrees with trump about

own business and make a success of he admires the republican frontrunner for speaking his for at the big and is confident that as president he will choose who will help him better where some see multiple marriages to successively younger models as a personal cruz views him as a role model for dealing with his own two cruz really believes in donald but even cruz recognizes in this it is

stifle their corker happening in the republican primary is the result of two the fecklessness and ineptness of the washington establishment in failing to address the big issues facing our country and years of anger with the overreach of the obama and to be i think the american people should be angrier than they continue reading as trump solidified his standing at the front of the gop pack over the next couple of corker continued to warm to in late corker surprised many washington observers by praising big foreign policy speech as a good transition in the and commending trump for the foreign policy establishment that has been here for so in the same corker called efforts to force a contested convention claiming he was by those who try to direct the electoral process in a certain direction and no matter what people going to cause this to happen at the trump called corker that week a few days corker offered to help trump develop his likening the presumptive nominee to an earlier generation of conservative the foreign policy establishment in the last or years gotten things exactly corker told usa today i hear in what saying is more of a george bush view of the i hear him embracing more of a james baker view of the and a larger degree of realism is making its way into his and i very much appreciate according to trump appreciated the effusive support from especially at a time when others in the party were sharply corker went on to have a series of phone calls with chief trump strategist paul while office supplied to the corker even instructed his many trump haters just to chill and accept the inevitable coming together taking he when asked directly whether trump is grooming him for the gig and whether he would say yes if asked corker tends to play have no reason to believe being considered for any position right and you have absolutely no control over corker told news channel i would say running for it is actually a negative thing to which is what someone would say if they were as good as they can corker clearly likes trump or the opportunity for political advancement that trump represents and the feeling seems to be so corker is the only senator trump has summoned to his headquarters in new when asked which qualities looking for in a running trump always says the same that giving special weight to political that he wants a vice president who can help him and things that mostly considering established politicians who have vetted over the last sounds a lot like during his career in politics first as mayor of then as junior senator corker has established a reputation as a committed conservative who nonetheless likes to get things often defying the caucus to negotiate with the other since arriving on capitol hill in corker has doggedly worked to broker compromises on several major including financial the federal immigration and the christian science monitor once called him senate tireless politico agreed explaining that the sharp tongue and air of disdain toward washington is a man who believes in making a remind you of like the author of the art of the deal corker one of the wealthiest members honed his dealmaking instincts as a construction and real estate entrepreneur before entering the political he even shares penchant for bluntness has chided the senate for acting immature and described senators during a policy debate as bunch of midgets he questioned the bailout of he described a proposal from john mccain to suspend the federal gas tax as pandering extraordinaire during the government he berated ted cruz on the senate corker says he thought about quitting congress midway through his first term because he was fed up with not being able to get much so often has he insulted fellow it almost sounds trump and corker have a lot in and what they have in common washington experience and foreign policy expertise only makes the senator a more compelling pick for on the pairing makes perfect the question now is whether any chemistry between a question they may be answering up on the floor of trump tower as we trump says expanded the the numbers republican presidential candidate donald at a fundraising event in on may mike more if anything about this republican convention in cleveland is that you can expect donald trump to boast about luring new voters to the pundits are likely to predict that trump could overcome the growing demographic advantage in key swing states states where white voters are no longer dominant majorities by continuing to attract nontraditional many from the white working to the polls for the first time in their but none of it is supported by the data at least not according to yahoo news senior political correspondent jon new numbers from the gop primary show that increased turnout in several primary states was driven largely by already active republican voters who have historically skipped primaries and voted only in general ward reports the data so far indicate that trump has not yet significantly grown the republican there are small numbers of new voters who came to the polls this and in one state new hampshire that might be enough to help trump but in several other swing states ohio and michigan if the democrats can reassemble the obama new support is not enough to the data and analytics firm that worked for florida marco focused its analysis on a few key in there was a stunning turnout in the republican primary on march more than three times the number of primary voters in came to the polls a total of of that or were regular primary but they were swamped by voters who usually participate only in general that group made up percent of the republican primary electorate in younger voters who eligible for previous elections and those who moved into the state made up only percent of the more than million primary voters were new a total of new to put that in look at the general in in president obama defeated republican nominee mitt romney by almost obama received votes to so if you add the nearly votes to a republican but the democrat turnout is not a sure thing then the republican is still votes and keep in mind that the virginia primary was one of the most closely contested in the gop trump won the but with only of the he got votes but texas ted ohio john kasich and retired neurosurgeon ben carson received a combined many of those republican voters will turn out for trump against even if they opposed him in the but some to go optimus looked at the results of almost telephone surveys it did around the time of the using those it built a model of the virginia electorate and found that of the percent of voters who were new to the primary but usually voted in the general vast were voters who were likely to support a republican candidate this confirmed that the primary voters were almost all regular republican voters who usually cast ballots only in a general election in the they are not voters or traditionally individuals who crossed the same dynamic surfaced in ohio and only in new hampshire did the data suggest that trump might win where romney but as ward new hampshire into the republican column would not be nearly enough to win the electoral college votes required to secure the make sure to read the rest here and protesters plan to take to

jared kushner and donald trump got pulled into this whole mess with russia and the you hear as much from the trump bunch jared is busy negotiating peace in the middle which really even when the president seemed to sympathize with his jewish and daughter were oddly now moved on to a government administered by military council a powerful trio with oversight of all cabinet agencies and armed forces that the civilian president refers to as so you on our way from being zimbabwe or saudi arabia how badly can that this latest turn has done a lot to buoy the spirits of president liberal a generation of whom grew up thinking of military leaders through the twisted prism of learned to love the generals and you can understand been a sense these last few months that nobody can put a brake on careening crazy train not the not establishment republicans on the not the wall street guys or the cabinet of while north korea tests its trump whines about the media in tweets and at least the current thinking the administration seems to be in the hands of strong and patriots who can fill in a map without as newsweek put it in a subtle headline last generals can save the world from war and stop the a low and maybe the generals mattis can clear but even if these guys can keep presidency from immediately that mean likely to steer it in the right modern america has a real mythology around its ask them to fix almost any generations removed from a time when the burdens of war were shared by we tend to idealize the men and women who still rise up to shoulder our weathered institutions sag under the weight of bureaucratic we imagine that a battlefield commander will attack intractable problems as he might a battery of machine immune to petty grievances and lawyerly except that in and with few military leaders had much success running other things political school cabinet the courage and brilliance they display in rising up through the armed forces seem to translate very maybe because the careers they spend in service to the public are also spent inside a kind of socialist with very little exposure to the more mundane trials of civilian no that a general should know the first thing about finance or domestic policy or we only like to pretend they since pretty much lost faith in everyone whose job it really if i told you i had a novel plan to partition wonder with good reason what i could possibly know about but when john kelly the chief of assumes responsibility for legislative strategy or tax like the guy in the ad who stayed at a holiday inn express last somehow we assume figure it even in foreign where generals are assumed to hold vast that may not translate into modern generals in nothing like the cold war cowboys we remember from iconic on killing commies and reducing villainous countries to more cerebral military leaders were schooled in the lessons of which taught them the value of cautious of staying within political of carrying out the policy set by others with maximum efficiency and minimal look at colin who was the most successful of recent military leaders in the political his stature was such that in he quite possibly could have become our first black president if not our first politically independent he will likely be remembered for having persuaded the world that iraq possessed weapons of mass the bush administration told powell to go out and make the because no one had more credibility in the country or the and whatever his personal agreed to complete the because what modern generals are supposed to i remember sitting in a pentagon briefing not long after speech to the united nations security listening to jay soon to become the commanding general and overseer in occupied talk about how simple it would be to make iraq great again after the been to iraq under saddam and that sound especially simple to garner later said we never should have gone to war there in the first but at the given a completely unreasonable he never considered the possibility that it be which brings us to the speech on afghanistan this in which he offered virtually no departure from the last two other than a new and entirely contradictory not or maybe what doing in at is following the same basic policy drift that now stretches across three because the generals were given a political objective years and going to see it through to the bitter they trained to acknowledge much less what follows from all this are two essential neither of which is very one is that while may well stand ably between us and some kind of lunacy in the world

to cohen had a perfectly trumpian all of goal is cohen said before modifying to flip what has historically been the continue reading according to trump needs to win black voters because other minority groups support trying to coordinate it because i am mindful of the fact you there are coalitions and talking about now like hispanic coalitions that will not support cohen ok because the ones that like trump even here legally and they so it really and i understand their point of they do not want to be asked to leave and go back go back to their you know they want so i after ruling out cohen said the campaign turned to the community because trump needs to go beyond his win a general election if your mindset is on the southern white christian you need but you need the minority communities as cohen an advantage with minority voters has been a key element of the democratic victories in the past two presidential but cohen said the trump campaign has been developing a strategy to combat

sabato trailed off with an audible trump has no special appeal beyond other in trump actually faces unique obstacles as he courts black the mogul has a long history of using racially charged rhetoric

shot a security guard who approached his room on an unrelated call just before he began shooting out the jesus the wounded security told talk show host ellen degeneres in his only public interview

interrupted the bringing the deadly rampage to a but now they say paddock stopped firing on his one of the many enduring mysteries of the case and one that lombardo has said may never be but in recent there have been more this lombardo confirmed to the las vegas review journal that police are investigating how an officer fired his gun inside suite after it was breached though he said it was not in the room where the body was at the same unnamed law enforcement officials told the new york times and the associated press that a hard drive was missing from at least one of the laptops recovered from

father of having somehow played a role in john i had genuine respect for cruz in that he had earned his right to speak in racking up and he was going to use that time the way he saw without

father under the campaign bus along with his own and hugging it out with president as they say in better to be covered in dung than trampled by the no one says that in but if trump can promise a tax cut in the next days while congress is in then i guess i can make stuff it the cringey hug in houston that really got my or the silliness about a nonexistent tax it was remarkable riff about national know what i trump asked the a use that use that he then accused his opponents of being he went know what a globalist a globalist is a person who wants the globe to do not caring about our country so leave aside the accuracy of that for a and take the agenda i often get mail from readers who ask me when going to find something nice to say about here you a lot of us have talked about trump as principally being an and i think that was certainly true when he ran and but unlike so many tepid and equivocating politicians in both who have generally seemed content to run on trite slogans and meaningless distinctions for jobs and trump has based his presidency now on a substantive and forcing the country to make a significant because trump is right about all over the nationalism and globalism are exerting a dueling pull on the politics of industrialized and when the histories of this reactionary moment are no matter which way it comes trump will have been an important player in determining the the choice here quite the way trump frames nor is it as obvious and extreme as a lot of his critics actually and reasonable people might assuming you knew where to find start with the premise that the last or so years of deteriorating borders the emergence of a world where capital and information bounce all over the globe where economies are and where religious extremists threaten the security of states from within been reassuring times for nationalists like trump and been a nationalist far longer than been a republican believe gotten far too concerned with being good global at the expense of our own identity and to just an idea or a set of legislative a place with its own common culture and native and it ought to worry first and foremost about the people rightfully born into practically that means erecting walls both literal and economic and pulling back from military commitments around the world that mostly protect other it means retrenching around american businesses and and blunting the rapid social much of it led by government or judges or left a lot of less educated white voters feeling taken to its extreme and there is far too much of that this kind of nationalist impulse verges into ethnic superiority and the idea being that the country is more prosperous and secure when men are in trump often blithely harmonizes to this in part because he seems to sympathize with and in part because so much of his rhetoric comes from the desk of this stephen miller character in the white whose intellectual development seems to have stopped with the ridicule he endured from liberals in his santa monica high but you be a racist to believe that national identity and borders and that all this emphasis on global alliances and global trade has hollowed out american and where most of supporters on the other side of the equation are which is a word some people because ethnic purists have deployed it as an but you just because some idiots distort a word negate its actual globalists want to turn back the clock on technology or social and in any event they think you they think america expands as it always by leading international coalitions and competing in markets rather than fleeing to the americanism distinguished by an ethnic but in fact by the absence of an experiment governed by a common which holds that anyone who aspires to american values can find purpose and prosperity as most of our ancestors did and where american voters net will have as it always in the rest of the in recent nationalist movements have gained traction and power throughout as illustrated by this recent breakdown from the this voters in the fifth most populous may well elect their own nationalist president we will either corral the stampede of nationalism or accelerate we will restore faith in globalism or mortally discredit regular readers be surprised to learn that i count myself in the globalist though certainly not in a partisan are plenty of globalists hiding out in the abandoned fortresses of the once great republican just as some leading democrats are very much economic but i think you have to be crazy to take the other and i think you can simply dismiss the president as a xenophobe or racist however much he sounds like both from time to time without at least taking his argument now that clearly defined the terms of the

insurance to as many americans as in sanders introduced single payer into the presidential even as clinton continued to campaign on improving private insurance since the leading lights have moved rapidly in direction particularly as trump and his republican allies have made it clear that focusing solely on which the gop has undermined at every would be an unproductive way to that to say democrats now agree completely with the vermont sanders still wants to phase out private insurance entirely and replace it with a single plan that provides coverage to all americans for as he calls and he may still run in but forcing everyone to give up their current coverage would create very real both practical and why much of the rest of the potential democratic field seems to be coalescing

look at how the country bids farewell to its first not a literal days obama leaves office in late january and it all be about as obama himself is fond of he also spent his two terms as father to

was to further erode the boundary between private lives and political i actually had a lot of sympathy for sanford back in the summer of as south he pretty much blew up whatever national ambitions he might have had over his love for a as you probably because it was really all too bizarre to the sanford disappeared from the state for several leaving desperate aides to claim he was hiking the appalachian when in fact he was miles wooing the argentinian love of his when at last he returned to find himself embroiled in a national soap sanford gave an expansive news in which he appeared about as candid and vulnerable as any politician in the socially conservative governor seemed suddenly transformed into a character from a richard ford it was like he had stumbled on some truer version of himself in middle and all he could do now was to watch the unraveling of his once orderly i help rooting for sanford go and be i the nation will endure without of true love can never be enough for a

congressional seat and last feeling pressured by his impatient paramour and facing allegations from his ex that he was unstable and sanford decided to publicly unburden himself in which he essentially broke off his was in turns sad and farcical the former because never easy to see a family torn the latter because at times he sounded absurdly right for he noted the dichotomy between historical figures who mistakenly sought at all on one and jesus christ on the this he went have struggled in how to respond since being contacted a little more than a week ago regarding yet another lawsuit by a yet and lawyer retained by my former wife so the romans the nazis and a divorce lawyer in you can see the continuity sanford told us that his questioned his stability as a parent and wanted him to undergo he said she had accused him of having his fiancee stay overnight while his younger sons were which he denied that his needed to look in the mirror before leveling that responding to her contention that he was drinking around the sanford did not drink in high school or college and though i do drink my consumption is so limited that my friends give me a hard time about maybe get some in the none of this really mattered much to anyone but sanford and his immediate what did matter what in the single most consequential and misguided contention in entire treatise went completely talking about the line near the top where he explained his decision to go as much as you sign my paycheck and you have elected me to represent you in he think i owe you my thinking on this but now public he because whether sanford deserves custody of his boys or needs counseling for his or whether he intends to remarry anytime really has nothing to do with where he stands on bombing in or russian incursions into or what to do about immigration or of course personal issues bleed into politics and into the and sometimes politicians have to answer questions about things that ought to be because just not practical to stand on principle and watch your career get swallowed for better or we treat our politicians like celebrity entertainers we delve into their family dynamics and speculate on gay or having an networks hire the unqualified children of presidents and candidates as for no other reason than the glamour it supposedly but by volunteering at length the most salacious details of his romantic life on social who has no opponent this year and thus no reason to fear the political fallout from took all of this a step he legitimized any such inquiry for anyone else and set a new standard for disclosing private affairs i guarantee others will feel compelled to instead of trying to hold the line against triviality and sanford basically of it is fair and all of it and you should expect your politicians to hold nothing so no one should have been surprised when the next break in the story came not from us weekly or but rather from the new york whose reporter jim rutenberg an excellent political reporter and a friend of mine reached chapur in paris and learned that she was tired of waiting around for a wedding and had heard about post only from the media what choice does the media how are we supposed to declare anything when the politician himself insists that it some people will say that this is just the way politics has been going for and it was bound to get even more with the advent of facebook and twitter and whatever maybe but if politicians want the media to exercise even a modicum of restraint and then they need to do the you decry the shallowness of our political culture if your own guy is out there acting like congress is a wb i know if sanford owes his or his kids an i know if he should grovel to his and i but pretty sure he

big dog was unusually young and still popular when he finished his he established his base in new about blocks from where roosevelt was for a while there was even talk of clinton running for as roosevelt once what a spectacle that would have looking back the comparison seems wildly you may ended up running for president again and then crusading against woodrow to the day he died in tr jealously protected his twin legacy of reform and on the other has run from every big ideological fight like a man on from the moment he stepped out of the white the husband of a newly elected his own political interests have been subservient to his he started a foundation and got crazy but for the last years a period in which much of what he achieved has been steadily distorted and discredited clinton has been chained by the role of dutiful political and so this is what come as the most talented campaigner of the modern age apologizes for defending his own record and stumps cautiously for hillary ahead of next new york what was supposed to be the final validation of bill legacy inside the democratic party the election of his wife as a successor has now become the only thing left that can save to be governing unlike featured little by way of transformative though he presided over a surging presidency played out mostly like a tragedy in three first the stumble over health then the survival of republican rule through and finally the sex scandal that crippled his second whatever lasting achievements clinton might have claimed as world leader were probably washed away eight months after he left when the sudden strike of terrorists exposed a glaring failure of his but more lasting political legacy the thing for which he should have been remembered was the transformation of the democratic party from a marginalized coalition of interest groups to a governing entity that embraced modern as i was recently reminded watching the an upcoming documentary about the founding of the democratic leadership council in the democrats by had lost five of the previous six presidential elections and were losing ground everywhere they were as reflexively and central which it took no small amount of courage to make in those early was that in order to both win and govern democrats had to stop agitating for an ever more expansive government and start trying to build a better that was the philosophy that underlay string of pragmatic free a balanced welfare the crime for a it seemed like he had left an indelible stamp on the widening its focus from the poor and excluded to encompass the broader middle except then came the iraq war and the collapse of wall a crushing recession followed by an even more crushing recession and soaring angry liberal populism reemerged as a powerful first in howard insurgency and then through the reborn john edwards and now bernie at both clintons tried gamely to defend the underpinnings of what became known as think that if is defined by whether in health the or the advancement of then we had a very progressive clinton told me during an interview in for my first on democratic politics when i had lunch with him in south carolina the next while working on a cover piece for the new york times magazine about his clinton readily agreed to talk more about by hillary aides had decided that the more bill went on about his own centrist the less helpful he they promptly quashed the some eight years the dlc is long dead by a group called third and legacy inside his own party is savaged as never derided on the left as a shill for wall a racist for supporting mass a conservative for overhauling clinton refuses to defend his own record at any and when he help himself and plunges in anyway as he did in rightly defending the crime bill to a couple of activists last week he almost immediately hard now to escape the conclusion that clinton did not ultimately transform his the virus of clintonism having been expelled from its ordinary democrats still love the former but the democratic leaders and activists reject pretty much everything he stood in you timing is bill clinton arrived on the scene at a time when democrats were desperate and and they were willing to entertain any argument that might reverse their string of even if it clashed with their own hillary never had that trying to fend off her own jerry brown circa at a time when democrats have been winning presidential and winning parties tend to care a lot about ideological she have bill out there excoriating populism and maybe this is bill penance the price he pays for having humiliated his wife so publicly in maybe in order to salvage what remained of his presidency and his he ultimately had to be willing to sacrifice his own case for historical maybe this is why clinton seems so much older all of a the white hair more the eyes more the cranelike movements of the arms slower and more you can imagine how all that forced silence takes its how physically ruinous it must be to keep the fury when all you want to do is defend what we know is that if hillary clinton goes on from new york to win the it will have more to do with the obama record than with her and if elected in it validate legacy so much as offer him some path to bill clinton once argued to me that teddy roosevelt see his own progressive legacy affirmed for years after he left

trump delivered to congress in case you missed the which i present as my service to america is reeling and its streets are afire because of foreign countries that take advantage of us and foreigners who sneak into the so what we need to do is to slam the doors and close the shutters and worry about doing a bunch of stuff for our own just as soon as we figure out what that stuff our children will grow up in a nation of if only we find the courage to share the dreams that fill our these are actual i was not watching speechifying we did learn something significant this week about the governing because he also previewed the budget he will send to and interesting here is that as much as he talks about breaking with the past and the failure of our political trump seems poised to continue charging down a path that a reckless generation of politicians has already a as you may is really more like a statement of priorities and general which congress rarely enacts these days in any a glimpse into the choices a president intends to make or and there are choices to be something like percent of federal spending goes to entitlement programs social almost another quarter goes out the door for military spending and to pay down the interest on the federal that means that the remaining chunk of the budget roughly a fifth has to fund all the other programs the federal government from affairs to safeguarding the nuclear stockpile to maintaining and staffing embassies around the this is what talking about when they use the term the perennial problem here is that social programs keep gobbling up an ever larger share of the budget as the boomers get older and call it a and been fighting a bunch of which are reacting to the general discord in the have been slashing tax rates for most of the last all of which means we have to borrow money to maintain the status most economic experts will tell you that not a huge problem to run deficits as long as not growing faster than your gross national right but if the deficit grows faster than an expanding you start to risk higher interest rates and inflation and general which is why politicians in both parties are always talking about federal borrowing as a crisis that has to be the of is democrats have generally called for raising more mainly by taxing the wealthy at a higher republican leaders have clamored for spending starting with a restructuring of revered entitlement in president obama and the republican speaker at the john came within inches of a grand bargain to bring the budget more in line with boehner was willing to accede to more than billion in new revenue over a obama agreed to changes in medicare and social security that would have slowed that deal fell apart because obama decided he wanted even more in new taxes than boehner had initially and republican leaders around boehner were pretty sure they win support for any additional congress reduced both military and discretionary spending and established rigid caps for how fast they could which leads us back to based on what his administration put out this trump is rejecting any of the compromises made by either obama or asking to cut taxes even more have but be beautiful tax cuts that affect both corporations and and refusing to contemplate changes to existing trump wants to raise military spending by more than billion and he vows more money for a commitment to law enforcement and a massive program to build roads and the only cuts trump wants to make to pay for all this are in discretionary we know what he has in but maybe rex tillerson will show up to work one day and find out that the state department building in foggy bottom has been sold and he now works in a flat above the whole even with the caveat that budget is really just an opening there are a bunch of reasons that this plan is profoundly the first is that it would almost certainly explode the deficits that trump is always going on about when he indicts the obama entitlement and defense spending will only continue to and even painful cuts in other spending possibly cover the by the can taxes on the or at least not by this may be the underlying since steve personal has already said he wants to dismantle the apparatus of the governing what better way than to bankrupt the federal ultimately forcing it to abandon its promises and shutter its the second disconcerting fact is that if would land most heavily on the people who can least afford not saying there pointless programs in the federal bureaucracy but you can cut only so much from housing and food stamps and foreign aid before you verge on cruelty just as you can cut only so much from homeland security and energy before you endanger the but the biggest problem with budgeting philosophy is that it comes down squarely on the wrong side of a generational and in this not very different from all the governing democrats or republicans he rails mostly declined to make any choices at when spending most of your national wealth on programs aimed specifically at your oldest it means not investing in their grandchildren or the technologies when accelerating debt instead of slowing only delaying the trump has a rare as a nondoctrinaire conservative with a congress of his own to pick up where obama and boehner left he might actually be able to win some concessions toward a more balanced tax code he hinted at in the in exchange for modest changes to entitlement programs that would make them more sustainable and more in his he proposes more of the same abdication that has defined his entire generation of he risk a fight with the old and the the only people he seems willing to offend are the poor who rely most on federal programs and the government workers whom nobody

reuters review did not capture direct mail or private conversations with donors or voters or stump most of the republican incumbents in the most competitive reelection and their declined to answer

emissaries from your campaign begin planning for a smooth handover of unheard historically to wake up as the without having a pretty good idea of who your main appointees and advisers will be a list usually gleaned from years in political then got a few months of transition time to fill out the ranks of senior management in the various agencies and cement your agenda for the legislative by the time you take it ought to feel as if the curtain is rising after a long season of journey was nothing like and not really his or at least not because he ran as an upstart with no political trump rely on the usual cadre of steady and loyal and because no one expected him to win the general his campaign never attracted the kind of operatives like a james baker or a john who can steer you through the serpentine waterways of washington with a blindfold televised transition was really more of a slow acclimation to his having won the job for him and for the rest of far from having methodically chosen his most senior aides for their intellectual depth and management apparently in seems to have looked around the room he was sitting in on election night and appointed whoever was standing seem to like priebus my chief of bannon and give yourself some fancy titles and figure all this going to this is how steve bannon ended up on the national security and how trump ended up hiring and then firing a national security adviser who was secretly lobbying for there was no plan to speak this is an administration apparently struggling with the annual easter egg you can imagine what that means for trade and so you have to look at these first few months as really more of a delayed been figuring out what governing looks and whose judgment he can actually and how enormous the bureaucracy turns out to had mere weeks to think through what most new presidents have spent a lifetime in politics which is what he really wants to now trump seems to be losing patience with his and fractious senior team and if he then clearly not paying sole qualification for the his warm relationships with washington proved pretty much useless when republicans in congress even roll back the health care law had them foaming at the mouth for years paranoid ramblings about war with the media and deconstructing the central state have endeared him to no least of all jared like but you have to remember that he was not involved in my campaign until very trump told the new york post this you have to have watched to know what that sean meltdown at the podium reached a truly bizarre level this week when he raised adolf hitler as an example of humanitarian which was kind of in that spicer is like the political equivalent of he keeps trying to get the act closed and yet every day the show somehow goes have to think that none of these people are likely to be in their jobs by to be generous about so pointless to spend a lot of energy divining the differences among starter team and cataloging their early more

former goldman sachs seems to have his hands on the economic the general who took control of a flailing national security is consolidating his grasp on foreign trump seems to have figured after his first painful foray into that the faction of his own party be counted as an made noises about reaching out to which seems unlikely to work but might burnish his standing with the independent and

expect democrats and republicans to offer different where treatment collides with fiscal including over the affordable care act and but for both of solving the issue was more important than scoring partisan think this is one area where got to see bipartisan this be a matter of it being a democratic or republican pappas have to look at partners around the country from districts that are similarly impacted to make sure we have allies in this fight going new hampshire sends two representatives from each district to the together with its two new delegation in congress has just four people all democrats right when asked why the republicans would be better on the opioid sanborn would love to give you some sort of pithy answer that pits republicans versus democrats in this but the truth of the matter is that this is more about individual people and their proven ability of what we should a member of the new hampshire senate and chairman of the health and human services described the opioid crisis as a very personal issue for two he has had to bury employees and close and he spent five years of his life taking quantities of while undergoing a series of a conversation we need to and i think having it at the level we should he sanborn endorses the treatment and to prevent opioid addiction he wants to find a way to make doctors prescribe fewer as state he tried to establish a rule requiring medical providers to consult with a prescription drug monitoring program a large database that shows where patients are getting prescriptions and which prescriptions they are before writing a there would be no requirement to not dispense or notify anyone just a six years into his it is still not a requirement in new which he thinks is a fought like and a liberty i want the government so small i can barely see i have varied concerns about the size and scope of my so if a guy like me is going to put in any government you know a serious he for the treatment he thinks there are many different potential approaches to detoxing and getting the drugs out of system but that in general the state have enough for the final part of this sanborn personally subscribes to and believes in gatherings at a community centers where addicts can support each receiving and providing guidance as have million people in the we know that milligrams of oxycontin for seven consecutive many people if not most people will develop a chemical dependency to the we know in new hampshire two years ago we dispensed enough or class drugs in our state that every single breathing person from infant to deathbed would get a that is sanborn sanborn said he believe in turning recovery into a billable medical he said a city can set up a recovery center for to a but medically provided he requires recovering addicts to book appointments sometimes weeks in advance for up to for a slot billable to turn off the get people keep them clean in a way to do it that we know that how we cure he pappas said that when he stops at recovery centers and treatment facilities throughout the a common refrain is that they need a more stable stream of he noted that new delegation secured additional funds but that it still gets shortchanged because a they both want new hampshire law enforcement better equipped to get illegal drugs off the street and disrupt gang the new hampshire troopers association endorsed campaign on june despite some consensus around there are clearly disagreements on how to reach pappas said important to protect the aca called and keep the medicaid expansion that was authorized in new hampshire on the he individuals receive coverage for substance use disorder through medicaid expansion in our and been the best tool been able to come up with to make sure we build out the network of support we need to create to make sure people can access something including in this have advocated for not pappas said that right now there enough residential treatment treatments or medical professionals capable of prescribing despite a decrease in the number of opioid prescriptions being he new hampshire needs to make sure its prescription drug monitoring program is able to flag those concerns going do it without health care coverage for we do it without more resources from those are the two areas i will look at to make sure getting what we need to fight this he in most sanborn thinks there needs to be more block granting because state representatives are much closer to their people and have a good understanding of what their state which might be slightly different from one state to pappas said president declaration of a public health emergency really mobilize the full resources of the federal government to make sure efforts on the ground in new hampshire were he said new hampshire is experiencing this crisis more profoundly than most states because it had not invested in mental health and addiction treatment for a long he said that the state is late in making sure people can get access to the care they need and that by people who think the government have a role to play in the sanborn wants to avoid where this recovery thing comes we find that people like politically and know it know it costs less money and know more effective so we try to go in that sanborn so what the new hampshire race embodies is a common desire to eradicate opioid a shared conviction that bipartisan cooperation is needed and overall civil discourse over how to move but very different proposals and this could change after the primaries in but that seem dante a professor of political science at the university of new said opioid abuse is singular in new hampshire in the sense that it seems political elites are more amenable to bipartisanship on that issue and have so far been much more careful about trying to use that issue to score political think right that this issue has been bipartisan or even nonpartisan in a way that most scala told yahoo our reputation for we are awfully partisan on a lot of but tend to be one of he has been struck by how gingerly candidates approached the issue in as an he recalled that during a heated contest for senate between republican incumbent kelly ayotte and democratic maggie the national republican senate committee ran an attack ad against hassan arguing that the opioid epidemic ballooned on her over the top but it was scala was struck by how the governor and her campaign took the stance that to go after this issue in a partisan way was somehow beyond the pale and also that ayotte basically conceded the point in as much as she pursue it in her own campaign with any more from yahoo key trump advisers through their stephen meet your who flunked his naturalization test from the to the rio poverty and

diary entries on their experiences in they are your eyes and ears at one of the most unconventional political gatherings in offering a seat on the convention access to key political meetings and a vivid picture of what conventions are really both inside and outside the here are entries ted cruz committed political suicide wednesday night with his even the texas people were booing i think be running for higher office there it was just everyone was mad at all he had to do was support donald and the speech would have been he would have set himself up for a future presidential he but now it that was the feeling on the republicans are it was just that cruz let his ego get in the way of backing donald the media might say but that is the i was just listening to people at the i walked around to get some input and i heard the same thing from every i went to the and to they all were saying the same on the other mike pence did great he is down to earth and a good addition to the i was talking with one of his fellow indiana lawmakers and she spoke very highly of she talked about how she wants to continue all of his policies now that going to be i know if people but trump was there and watched his son eric give his trump only came out for a few but he was there giving him some which was very and he want to steal any earlier in the we had breakfast with the south carolina tim scott and nikki haley were and they we went to the rock and roll hall of fame and i talked to a lot of people from different people said it was the best convention ever been to in someone said it was so good that debbie wasserman the dnc was sitting around taking notes on how to run a thursday is the big and everyone is going to be getting ready to dress up in their everyone is you can judge a man by his and the kids did great the past couple but excited for for their dad to address as told to andrew news been all including inside the over the last three days to do the hard work of keeping republicans giving us a lot to work but one thing that has stood out to me is that surprising to see a convention that is so sparsely seeing speakers like ben carson on tuesday for addressing an arena in which even lower levels are fairly as they was something not used to seeing at a that really struck but when everything that hearing coming from the floor is vitriol and rhetoric that i think even their hardcore believers know actually true then not that it says a lot about how not really trying to broaden their been a big thing going to be a very different next week at the democratic our goal is to give people something to vote not just something to vote our candidate and our convention will be more about communicating an uplifting vision for and recognizing that all in this that stronger we think draw a very sharp contrast with the chaos and ugliness seeing here in had an agreement with our counterparts at the rnc to allow each other access to debates and held three morning press conferences here at the rnc so far been very lots of lots of and spent time in the arena and radio row making sure setting the record on we had iraq war veteran ruben now a congressman from on we had joe and tim ryan talked about how all of donald products are made abroad you name it rather than in steubenville or joe being from home borough of said not just that trump is not making things in ohio not making them back not opening up production facilities in so had a really cool set of perspectives that bring it all together between the people who know him best in new york and the people who see the impact of what he do here in and had very successful events for the last three starting thursday morning with al and cory will be joining dnc chair debbie wasserman and fanning out all across the convention sites to keep calling them what we get to do is see enough of a beautiful but i know that going to have time to see enough before so i definitely want to come as told to hunter news we had our last meeting wednesday night to deal with logistics for our big it is going to be or degrees and we want to make sure for people we have a cold bottle of water in there is no shade on the so we want to make sure people are trying to sort out distributing and getting people out to the i deeply believe that thursday can be a turning point for this campaign and for this i know whether trump will use this speech to run to the center or to fan the flames of intolerance that he has already but i do know thursday night is a critical moment in american political and we be when the nomination of trump became inevitable this a few dozen physicians and nurses based in cleveland started stand together against not professional your your we live in communities in and around republicans and most of us are people who protested but we felt that we needed to stand up for our hospital many of whom are immigrants and trump has relentlessly attacked these who contribute greatly to our cleveland we also started stand together against trump for our who we hope will grow up in inclusive communities that value and we started it for you for all of those who believe in an america that looks very different than the one donald trump is trying to signs used for protest training hang on a wall at the headquarters of stand together against trump in courtesy of bryan more over the past several days here in reporters have asked us what our group is going to do to steal the spotlight on a difficult question to we convinced stephen colbert to show up and host more we certainly have any we made our signs in my our best chance of stealing moment is to get as many of us as possible out there on thursday to show a positive counter to his to show a better america to the we will be gathering at public square in cleveland wearing standing together in peaceful this is a crucial moment for our in many i feel like america is hanging by a it remains to be seen whether we as a nation can pull together in the face of racism and or whether we will when my grandchildren ask me what i did to stop the rise of donald i want to be able to say that i did more than just that i did more than send a few i want to be able to say that i did everything i could to counter his message with positivity and if we stand together against trump on we can make a expecting a crowd in the high low it probably be or given that the protest was but all all a little but we want to be out we want to be watching that moment on as told to andrew news the mississippi delegation had breakfast together on wednesday former texas rick perry was there and he was just he spoke well of donald trump even though he ran against perry said he did not initially support trump because he supported himself but he supports trump funny really and a good i realize this about and been so supportive of marcus the navy he treats him almost like a perry said at the delegate breakfast that health care policy and education policy should be decided at the state not the national i agree with what works in one part of the country does not necessarily work somewhere this is a big and not the same in every i think that a smaller government is much easier to control than a national we all wear the same size you paul ryan was at the breakfast he shared his agenda for the house of representatives with i want to get a copy of because it sounds good if they could get all of that it would be good to see some action in the republican house and senate before the very ryan endorsed trump so i percent of the people are on board with the trump at the there are just a few that are not endorsing still it was really great for mississippi that these men took the time to speak with after i had a luncheon at the the luncheon honored the mississippi delegates and was sponsored by and mississippi among and not having to buy lunch saved us a little bit of also trying to see as much of cleveland as we been seeing a lot of roads closed by the been getting stuck in a lot of traffic because of i known at least i know for after i headed back to the hotel and dealt with some work back home before heading to the convention a real estate so i had a couple things to follow through i want to see if making any money at home to pay for this i ended up taking a i slept a long time and had to jump up in a hurry to get back to the an exciting day and lineup is really i made it in time to see laura ingraham speak and she did a great she was actually one of the first speakers of the i was excited to hear mike i had a chance to research but i got my daughter to go online and check him she a good christian man and a family i think going to attract a different kind of voter to the i think going to bring more evangelicals into the fold than we had conservative political commentator laura ingraham speaks on the third day of the republican national convention in on july mark more i must disappointed in john kasich for not attending the he is the governor of ohio and this convention bringing so much attention and money to his in any all been good so far here at the i thought that donald trump knocked it out of the park tuesday he did really it is great to directly hear the trump children say how much they love and respect their so different from how people try to portray a and since his kids could been in conference rooms with their if in a meeting and he gets a call from one of his no matter whom talking he takes the call from his he is just a good his kids might have college degrees but they have good common sense as a of friend of mine once lot members of mensa find their way out of a paper but you have many successful owners who have more common sense than anything excited to hear ivanka our other speak tomorrow i always enjoy hearing from his tomorrow will be another busy day of breakfasts and but looking forward to a great last as told to susanna news related on the ground at

the year the congressman from mesa graduated to the but recently purdon has been regretting his the republican presidential was preparing to rally supporters in jeb bush was dismissing the children of foreign citizens as and the rest of the candidates were competing to say the most things their consultants could conjure up about president obama about gay marriage about our neighbors to the north yet here was refusing to follow the in he joined the bipartisan gang of eight to craft a comprehensive reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship for illegal earlier this he was the only republican accompanying secretary of state john kerry to cuba to preside over the reopening of the embassy after a diplomatic but what has really worried most conservative constituents is the iran when the gop senators signed a letter to the leaders of iran meant to undermine the white ongoing nuclear negotiations with the islamic only seven members of their caucus declined to add their names including the arizonan vowed to consider the deal with an open and for more than a even as every other senate republican came out against it and attack ads began airing on arizona exactly what he did from front gang of eight marco chuck schumer and john bill roll on flake announced that he could in the bring himself to support iran the decision made no one happy not the lost his last chance for

out of the he delivered his lost me when he stood up there and said he believe this president is trying to weaken the united he my wrong as purdon looked i run with conservative he we all think obama is the personification of in early i saw a at a bernie sanders rally that seemed to sum up the prevailing across the political it this is the summer of our political america is so disgusted with washington that at least some voters on both sides of the aisle are looking for a outsider someone not named bush or clinton to swoop in and blow the entire process to enter donald who has become the ultimate embodiment the reductio ad absurdum of this moment in american trump is actually leading his primary trump kind of a buffoon on stage at tom purdon asked me rhetorically in green he but he has scraped back the veneer and uncovered a lot of rage about what the hell is going on in this purdon but what if the kind of republican who think that back the and a lot of is an effective approach to what if you consider it particularly conservative to overturn the amendment or send drones to the mexican border or promise enormous levels of growth with no supporting evidence whatsoever what if you recognize that running the united states is ultimately about working within the persuading the and accepting difficult donald trump signs autographs during the national federation of republican assemblies in harrison right hard to see that vision of the republican party in anywhere for where jeff flake spent his august recess crisscrossing the state and insisting at every stop that it have to be like this on a recent i went to if there is such a thing in the gop as the flake is trump is an flake is a trump was born and bred in the son of a wealthy flake grew up on a cattle ranch in a small town founded by his ancestors trump ever recall asking god for an alumnus of brigham young university and a former missionary to south is as mormon as they trump is reflexively brutish and flake can be so that at times i had to strain to make out what he was trump rarely refers to his fellow candidates as anything but or flake still believes that politics is noble a view that be any less fashionable in and i work with people who want to do flake told wish people could i wish they could sit in on some of these meetings the ones marked on the when nobody worries about cameras being for the better part of a flake and i bounced from event to event in the back of an rented ford coffee with local leaders at the green valley senior the town hall with purdon just down the a meeting with mayor duane blumberg of a keynote address at the annual league of cities and towns a tour of the local va in we i asked a lot of but they all basically boiled down to one wrong with american politics and what can be done to fix flake has some credibility on the when he first arrived in the gop was spending like crazy under president george the young congressman immediately set about trying to tame his own extravagant he regularly shamed earmark sponsors on the floor of the every he identified the most earmark of the ought to nominate some of my colleagues for the hall of fame of flake said during one house debate in i am afraid they would fund efforts led to major rule including new bans on anonymous spending and on earmarks designed to benefit in citizens against government waste named flake the least profligate spender in and the american conservative union awarded him a percent approval flake takes cellphone photos of the retired marines who presented the flag for the newly reopened embassy in pablo martinez along the flake developed a reputation as a honest broker who was willing to go against the gop grain on issues as diverse as immigration and gay has voted to ban

opponent richard carmona in some arizonans resent decision not to retire from congress after three as he pledged to do in some think the former mining lobbyist is too close to powerful copper industry and in around the time that he revoked his support for a gun bill over debunked concerns about private sales flake briefly held the lowest approval ratings in the even more arizonans disapprove of job performance than approve he refuses to change the beauty of being the i heard him joke in years between as the explorer sped past the stately saguaros that line interstate i asked the senator if he was happy with the gop presidential contest so he trailing off as he tried to formulate a politic response he let out a nervous certainly hope that the current debate a debate that very serious in my particularly on immigration is over by next he it were to i think it would be good for the party at i think good for about i you worry about people like jeb bush using that i flake notion that we should try to parse here because your parents came this way or that despite abuses on the the amendment has served us look at the european countries that have look at the bifurcation of some of those i want to be in that the vast majority of these immigrants are coming to america because they love their what if the current i if donald trump wins the flake would do tremendous damage to the republican party in terms of our relationship with he far beyond because a national people expect us to be a serious and if you come up with serious you just turn off hispanics you turn off people in almost every republicans have to be in recent such as jan brewer and joe arpaio have made the most noise in but flake belongs to a and more deeply local long line of arizona politicians who maneuvered to stick a finger in the eye of their as journalist cathleen decker recently put it there of john senior colleague in the there was also morris the professional basketball player turned environmental champion who was frequently to the left of both his constituents and his and sam a onetime horse trader with a soft spot for red suspenders whose résumé included an overturned conviction for theft by extortion and the controversial shooting of two but above all there was the principled yet unpredictable barry whose gop presidential bid catalyzed the modern conservative but who also favored planned pushed richard nixon to and supported gay rights long before it was a popular position with let alone barry goldwater addresses his supporters in flake once served as executive director of the goldwater a libertarian think and today he considers himself a goldwater republican though one with a slightly more polite approach than his feisty at least in to his rural mormon tone and tenor of my faith is and it has taught me that you ought to be understanding in flake told hinting at how mormons responded to the challenges of migration and persecution by developing ability to change to fit to be liked and to be even to be in the words of historian daniel herman is barry goldwater a hero of you always has his conservative his willingness to go against the to reach across the to be on his that fierce western during the day i spent in flake repeatedly tried to show that sort of independence even if his constituents would have preferred a little more in the an aide told how the senator sees near the end of a radio interview on up a caller named kate challenged position on bush called cuba part of the axis of kate obama is trying to undo flake gently challenged i think cuba was ever on list as far as the axis of he then he explained why he has supported ending the embargo for more than a decade long before obama publicly adopted the same a little at the green valley senior a

no inspired as much blowback as for the past flake had been mulling the implications of the lobbying the white house for congressional and consulting with iran team secretary of state john national security advisor susan ambassador samantha energy secretary ernest not to mention the president himself as he struggled to make a but at nearly every befuddled arizonans asked the same question what the heck took you so as if caution had somehow been even each the senator would patiently explain his thought process that while the in his would successfully curb nuclear it leave congress enough leeway to punish tehran for continuing to make mischief in the middle no easy solution flake would never good to be on the other side of our the alternatives if this deal goes down and for those who say they would rip it up on their first day as like scott walker and ted cruz just not a responsible for the iran brouhaha represents everything wrong with washington right when we returned to his suv after the league of cities and towns the senator slipped off his charcoal suit jacket the temperature was now approaching degrees and began to moving toward an obamacare dynamic on foreign he told a purely partisan vote where part of the country is cheering for not the way to conduct foreign always been flake insisted that obama could have convinced the senate to ratify a and he chided the president for choosing to pursue an executive agreement basically against this then making common cause with the hardliners in flake flake may actually believe that the president could have maneuvered a treaty through the cited the ratification of the new start treaty in as a recent example of how the system should or he may just be making a convenient retrospective argument a counterfactual that be either he admits that he can the with republican think on the iran deal what was difficult was the reaction of is so it be he told tough to get people beyond that part of the according to is how voters and his fellow conservatives in particular are getting their news these hear some of the calls that come into my office or the people who approach me at the you just want to tell turn the get exposed to something he had a call from somebody who would be ok with this deal as long as we shared a couple of nukes with so they had the ability to if they had be and i already kind got a flake that was gleaned from some commentator who just get he really the case on just about every issue people are only exposed to what they already agree it really has led to more polarization than we had flake arriving at the senate policy luncheon earlier this bill roll the according to is a congress that actually functions that america had for more than eight in flake and his fellow gang of eight members tried to lead by example on meeting every for seven hashing out amending their bill dozens and dozens of and only then moving it to the but just very infrequent flake told almost no legislation comes to the floor of the because of as flake put quickly coming to a point where a majority of the senate has never even experienced regular have people who think you can defund obamacare on an appropriations who think the only leverage you have is to shut down the like ted who try to legislate by cable flake deny that americans are angry right but for the answer not just because this mormon as we drove away from impressive va hospital the last stop of the he sounded optimistic about the other than the power of his own which is fairly flake offer any real cures for what ails washington at this peculiar moment in american a man out of time in his at least for yet there is something poignant about commitment to the political process to the kind of news politicking that goldwater and his ilk once flake is still convinced that comprehensive immigration reform the most and that his gang of eight colleague marco who ran away from the bill after it failed in the house would been better off had he embraced it and simply the way it had to hoping that congress can hash out a grand bargain on the budget sometime even though he doubts it will happen while obama is still

admirable wonderful to speak your mind without worrying about the next or parsing every word knowing that some opponent could twist an errant phrase against you out of we get it news that politicians have to you or at least politicians not named and these as noted many the real fear for most elected officials in washington that they may say something to offend persuadable whose existence no one

have to spend all your time and money holding onto a job that you might very well since it takes only one fringe group or millionaire and a few thousand angry voters to tip the balance in your average congressional the fact that israel is the one writing about this dilemma should tell you that this simply a republican republicans are more tightly wedged between conscience and job security right because the president is constantly putting both in but often find themselves pinned between reason and reflexive mouthing mantras of economic populism that all that different from what trump and that most of them know to be painfully serving in congress on either side of the often means hearing from a tiny slice of loud activists and everyone else where you can fit them our primary system designed for an age when social media could supplant institutional and at the moment skewing the entire political so israel offers a pretty fair explanation for why his former colleagues remain so maddeningly to which i would offer a succinct grow up and get some just as a we send representatives to washington so they can stay there as long as they no voter has ever said the so glad we elected this i just hope he can hold the seat for the next this none of the rest of us expect to have just one or one that we can hold onto according to my friends at pew research more than half of americans expect they

gatherings in offering a seat on the convention access to key political meetings and a vivid picture of what conventions are really both inside and outside the excited to bring you these first check back in the following days for been to seven republican national but none have compared to this year in a different in addition to serving as a delegate for my home state of i was also appointed to serve on the rules committee for the in the been a been an alternate and been a but this is my first time on the excited for this upcoming as the only convention missed in recent years was in in so cleveland has been very there has been great and the flight was smooth and i have no i arrived last wednesday so that i could attend the rules first our first meeting was that and then we recessed until then after another we came back at and stayed it was a long but lots of things were accomplished and i think settled as far as the rules committee was i was pleased with the the rules committee primarily discussed what to do about the many states that register voters by in some you had to be a registered republican to vote in the but mississippi and other states do not require voters to be registered with a party to vote in the primary there was also a push within the party to unbind trump delegates from their allowing them to represent another we stayed up until midnight with that but it ultimately vincent delegate of the republican national convention rules at the meeting in cleveland on rick more the rules committee will meet for the last time this year on monday before the convention to adopt our final unless some the rules are pretty it is a and hard to say what it all i do think there will be some but i hope there be too i imagine that the rules will and i hope the day will run as smoothly as my airplane did on looking forward to getting through the final rules meeting and getting things my goal for the convention is to meet donald i think that will but you never i think that things in cleveland will be very lively more exciting than been at past i wait to hear all the each night is going to have a theme to i monday theme will be illegal one speaker really excited to hear is jamiel shaw son was killed by an illegal alien in he was gunned down in the middle of the street for no reason at the gunman who killed this young man had been arrested three times before he killed son and was not it really says a lot about the leadership in this shaw lost his and i lost my several years my niece was struck by an illegal immigrant who was driving i want to see that wall i want to enforce our border laws and support our border i mind anybody who is here and i welcome anybody who comes legally to this but not i think the republican party is in good standing to move forward and away from current i think that mike pence is a good choice to be vice pence has been a congressman for six years and has been on important so he knows how it all after serving in he came home and was elected governor of indiana and has done an outstanding i think that serving as governor and having a real as opposed to career politicians like hillary clinton and barack who have never had a real is as a i like i hope that trump will announce even more of his cabinet this pence will especially appeal to the i it should be a i saw a poll on sunday morning that showed hillary clinton and donald trump were just got to move past all of this and win the we need to seek out independents and democrats who are changing their registration for the november i think there are a lot of independents in my home state especially who will change their and i hope to see that across the as told to susanna news i remember when stand together against trump it was a monday morning and trump announced that he was doing a primary rally at the in later that i got an email from my friend nate that have to do something when he comes to and from there we and i think we had physicians and residents outside wearing shirts doctors save and nate and i felt compelled to go inside and interrupt the speech and the we thought trump was he would fizzle republicans would nominate cruz or kasich and we would go back to our normal and that the indiana primary and he was all of a sudden the and it hit a lot of people like a this thing we think could that an overtly racist person would be a major nominee for it just stopped us in our we always start organizing and we would join a bigger a national organization that is well and well have our group of doctors and join something but no one else had anything for the thursday night when trump accepts the and over the past few gotten emails from groups that are want to join you and come be a part of and so it has expanded beyond a group of just doctors and nurses to a whole host of young a whole bunch of individuals around the country who are looking for it has been but also been bryan hambley is removed from the crowd as donald trump speaks at a campaign rally in aaron more not here to yell at trump delegates or we think they should have their space to project their no one is going to be convinced by a yelling we are having daily peace and nonviolence and those will be focused on taking many of whom are and preparing them for the chaos of a of a busy of a hectic situation and to make sure they know how to react and make sure it is a peaceful a fundamental thought of what we believe but also what we think is most we think trump wins when there is we think he wins when there is dislike and hatred and he is really very good at driving narratives when people like each we think the message can be that we dislike any one person but that we have different our values are that we respect all regardless of their regardless of where they came whether they are man or and we think if we keep the discussion this week on that on a positive projection of we think we we think if it descends into trump probably wins the also how we see the election right expecting the turnout to be high low thousands for those are mainly out of the rest is how many people in in in the midwest turn on their tvs thursday morning and is accepting the nomination and how many of those people get in the come to downtown and wear a yellow shirt to join that will determine if the rally gets people or or i hope a lot of people come but a lot will depend on the first couple of days of the we have a lot of people coming in from across the country in the next few we have people staying at our all the stand together against trump leadership is opening our it is an exciting thing to have people coming together around a positive message at this we really see it as a nothing like this in our lives has happened before in terms of presidential never seen a candidate as dependent on rebranding himself at the he has to rebrand himself or he and we think this is a moment where we can quote trump back to himself at an inconvenient time for and remind people better than we have a friend driving in from we have a friend flying in from north we have friends coming in from the east and to have them all come together is as told to andrew news been really anticipating the you watch all the stuff on tv and they hype it but it has been the people at the airport took care of the gentleman who met tom rice and

semiautomatic rifles on the grounds that we might need them to fight a reprise of the american after you take on the united states military with guns meant to shoot ducks and paper french acknowledges that ordinary citizens stand much of a chance against the he the second amendment to remain a meaningful check on state citizens must be able to possess the kinds and categories of weapons that can at least deter state that would make true authoritarianism too costly to properly defend life and access to assault weapons and magazines a a the idea that americans should arm themselves to fight is a staple of groups and politicians occupying the political terrain that runs rightward roughly from the nra to the edge of the it goes back at least to thomas who wrote that tree of liberty must be

in the knowledge that hillary evil designs on the second amendment had been but quite a few americans apparently agree with french on the danger that washington might someday decide to pick up where george iii left off and reimpose the stamp act or force americans to quarter troops in their banding together in militias like the three percenter movement they are preparing to meet that threat with members of patriot groups and militias run through combat shooting drills during a three percenter united field training which they describe as the largest patriot event in the outside july jim more of the same qualities that make rifles so precious to defenders of american freedom also make them the weapon of choice for those who want to kill as many schoolchildren as a ban on the sale of these

modifications in functionally equivalent variants of the slipped through the the chances of the same ban being reinstated now are probably in a political climate in which donald first instinct after the parkland shooting was to call for arming schoolteachers so they could shoot in a saturday trump went further and suggested raising the minimum age to buy a rifle from to trump confidently predicted that the nra would go along with the new age which the group has long the nra has informed trump that mistaken one way to achieve at least some of the benefits of banning assault weapons

likely put it again when he rallies alongside clinton tuesday morning in where he is expected to endorse her fight is just if we are going to transform america and create a government which works for

capitol hill staffer who is the surprise presidential candidate of is everlastingly polite and remarkably he has a shaved that can sometimes imply but on it simply plays up how follicularly challenged he you grow a i asked him one day recently during the second of two conversations we had at his campaign headquarters in beard is really mcmullin he a shaved head and a spotty beard make a very good mcmullin was only when he first deployed as a spy in he entered the agency through an unconventional as a high school student living in the seattle mcmullin called the information line that people used to call before smartphones and the internet and asked to be connected with the wanted to work for the agency ever since as a kid watched days of the with robert mcmullin had read enough about the cia to ask for their recruitment and his doggedness led to a phone conversation with a man would call himself arthur and certain not what his real name mcmullin the two kept in touch over several and after mcmullin graduated high school and completed two years as a mormon missionary in he did a semester internship at the cia each year he was a student at brigham young he may have entered the cia but the agency does have a penchant for hiring members of the mormon after he graduated mcmullin went undercover for an initial assignment that lasted two and a half he did shorter stints in the field for a few years and eventually left the agency in mcmullin said he could not discuss the details of what he did without asking the cia to grant him he did say that his role was it involved showing up at parties with leaders in the business community and in government and and then later that same night meeting up with terrorist heavily to collect donny deutsch asked him in a live you ever kill think answering that question directly is the thing for me to he certainly located and those terrorists were either arrested or sometimes as challenging as that time mcmullin faced plenty of fears when considering late this past summer whether to launch a quixotic campaign for he felt strongly that conservatives had to have an alternative to donald trump and hillary he as many conservatives that trump was unfit for the and he strongly opposed but the consequences of becoming a candidate himself seemed not it is it is it is it is all those mcmullin he left his job as a senior policy adviser on capitol hill to the house cathy mcmorris he said of his fledgling career in republican which was less than three years go back to the evan mcmullin at a rally in rick more but whatever he expected to come out of this run for it now appears on track to be the first independent or candidate since the staunch segregationist alabama george wallace in to win a electoral college mcmullin is leading in the polls in a state with a heavily mormon population that has voted for the republican candidate for president in the past presidential a span of nearly a but donald trump is widely loathed by the mormon church in which has given mcmullin an opening to make if mcmullin does win it may not make a very big impact on the presidential it would take six electoral college votes away from republican nominee donald but those would matter only if the race were democratic nominee hillary clinton is leading trump in so many battleground states she looks poised for a convincing name is on the ballot as a candidate in and he is eligible for votes in with four more final states expected to approve status this the campaign is hearing positive anecdotal feedback about candidacy in iowa and in addition to but the real question is what candidacy means for the future of the republican mcmullin frames his candidacy as representing a conservative that could be the seedling of a new political party if the gop cannot recover from just like that steady state company that knows its products are stale but for a bunch of legacy reasons cannot and what i think we see with the republican party and the democratic party right they are the limping gazelles on the he talk of a new political party sounds but being taken seriously by republican operatives and conservative juleanna who worked for former vice president dick told me that she wants to see entitlement hawkish conservative policy know whether that will be the republican party going she jonah a popular conservative writer at national said on this past sunday that even if trump he could wreak such havoc on the gop as an outside figure that it forces the party to split in donald trump play when and if he and he decides that he is just going to be a spoiler or create this television we could see i would predict that we are going to see a new party goldberg fairgoers visit an independence party tent at the minnesota state fair last jim more mcmullin strategist and pollster joel searby told the weekly standard that they are building state organizations around the which will create army of people who want to be a part of whatever comes searby told me that in some like their campaign has had to recruit electors and vet each in their state coordinator is a former executive director of the state republican and so even becoming a legitimate candidate requires significant amount of legal and grassroots searby in the event that mcmullin does win not going to just say we did a good job and move searby a very real possibility that a new party will be formed out of this i think the most important possibility sitting on the american politics has not seen a nationally competitive party in almost a since former president teddy roosevelt ran as a third party candidate in the newly formed or bull bill the weekly told me in an email that candidacy be harbinger of something it could be a statement on behalf of principle and kristol a good who helped recruit mcmullin after failing to pull in more imposing political figures like republican nominee mitt romney and nebraska ben sasse to run as an said he is voting for mcmullin told me that he had considered a run for elected office at the state or maybe for years or so down the the thought of running for president did not enter his mind until after the republican convention in hoped that the delegates would be able to they but they were mcmullin became the then i the time to act is mcmullin is true threat to our country that is beyond the scope and scale that most americans have ever seen or so he spoke with a few members of congress he and others had previously encouraged to run for but none of them were willing to take the mcmullin thought it was too they want to risk their current seats in they want to risk the and the and all of i urged them to do and they would not do mcmullin he did not identify which members of congress he had talked one of the members of congress told mcmullin he should mcmullin said he spent days mulling the rehearsing the ridicule he would have to what you you ran for you even get on all the he and he knew going in it would be impossible to get on all state despite the formidable ballot access operation funded by republican donor john kingston and staffed by operatives like the pollster and and former americans elect ballot access expert khalil i went through all of i kept this is so if this is so you make a decision to do it based on fear for your own or or he told are but truth is mcmullin kicking off his presidential campaign in salt lake george more the former cheney said that one of the reasons been willing to lend an unofficial hand to campaign is because she is admiration of him for standing up to do doing it at no small personal i find that type of bravery and glad to support she role in house republican leadership was downplayed by capitol hill aides i spoke they described him to me as a nonfactor whose presence in meetings of top lawmakers drew puzzlement from other mcmullin said the idea of a need for a new force in politics had been inside me for the last few and i mean the he believe the constitutional checks and balances are all out of i mean the federalism now got so much power in he i think the power should be far more heavily weighted to the state and local this message has resonated in said boyd a former chief of staff to utah mike one of the most outspoken republican opponents of trump over the past matheson said that despite natural connection with heavily mormon his candidacy transcend lds is clearly trying to send a message to washington and to the establishment of both and i think they want to send that message in the form of a hillary clinton win or a donald matheson mcmullin is big on federalism and separation of which is obviously a big thing in one of the reasons utah has rejected both trump and because we have a really good strong institutions of civil society neighborhoods and volunteer associations and because of that utah is working and of mormons have repudiated trump much more forcefully than any other religious group in the they saw in his proposed muslim ban last december echoes of their own religious persecution in the and candidacy is another symbol of the lds opposition to most of statewide elected officials with the exception of orrin a republican have opposed or refused to endorse there is speculation that who led efforts at the gop convention to open up delegate voting to find another nominee besides might endorse but mcmullin has made it more difficult to do so with some of his recent swipes at republicans who have not endorsed invited republican leaders to join us in this the reality is that the vast majority of republican leaders are putting party ahead of principle and putting power over the interests of their own mcmullin said this past sunday on mcmullin can sometimes overreach in his when he criticized trump during one of our he said that on his leadership style and affinity for this is probably the type of man who questions his abilities in he understandably wanted to rattle the gop and media environment incentivizes but it came off sounding a bit like florida marco juvenile mockery of hands during the primary last mcmullin can mount a substantive critique of trump on foreign and his concerns about meddling in the election are detailed and carry some weight because of his years in the clandestine can readily identify that vladimir putin is undermining our democracy and our national power through donald through his candidacy and through everything that comes with the white nationalist the white supremacist the all of these things turn america in on he would that be of interest to vladimir because the main thing that keeps vladimir putin in mcmullin we turn in on if fighting each if we want to if we think that we should play a role in defending basic human rights around the at least rhetorically because not defending them here then that weakens and it allows an open space for vladimir putin to expand his his knocks on the republican party are direct and mcmullin outside his campaign offices in salt lake george more the republican party stand up to vladimir effort to undermine our democracy and to a candidate who committed to the cause of equality and then what does it stand what good is it providing to the he mcmullin at one point in september decided to stop dancing around the issue of trump and race and began labeling the republican presidential rhetoric and positions national proposal is unconstitutional and he you accept the support of the white supremacist movement in the united states or let me be generous and say when you fail to repudiate that support and you signal to them with your racist then you are embracing and empowering the white supremacist movement in the united mcmullin and he faulted the republican leaders for failing to tamp down rhetoric over the past four years that turned off women and young who should have stepped up and pushed back against back against thought about issues that are important to we do he churchgoing these people are ultimately in my mind but they feel that not welcome in the republican party because of the color of their mcmullin and i spoke in an office suite a few hundred yards from the in a conference the campaign did not have enough money to spend on its own and so it was in a shared to my i saw a man i recognized in an office across the hall from

arbor news via more last new orleans hosted the annual convention known as netroots which started as a fringe gathering of the digital left in and has become a staple of mainstream democratic the celebrity senators cory booker and kamala harris were there this year to rev up the so was their colleague elizabeth warren who sent the house into a tim the ohio congressman been critical of his more coastal offered up a partisan speech and was rewarded with a rousing one hopeful who there was bernie apparently the socialist animal had a scheduling more sanders simply feel the need to compete for activist affection the movement he ignited two years ago is now a raging wildfire among the and sanders spends a lot of his time showing up for grateful candidates in local he and his supporters along with some of my colleagues in the media assume that sanders will enter the presidential field this time as a clear he end up that because next time sanders have an entire stage to with all that space to bask in the adoration of frustrated this will feel more like being packed into the greenroom of the talent with some guy practicing accordion scales on the sofa next to and right at a time when democrats are frantically searching for the bernie is starting to look strangely like a reverse image of the go back for a moment to the democratic party of the as regular readers is a period i chronicled in my last book after shocking the establishment and very nearly wresting the nomination from walter mondale in gary hart was the sanders of his everyone assumed be the nominee next time as a former campaign strategist hart understood that he would be endlessly bedeviled by what his team dismissively called new a lineup of democratic hopefuls who fashioned themselves after hart and appropriated his language and his ideological solution was to differentiate himself from the pack with a thick sheaf of substantive ideas and a less conventional campaign style a strategy that would probably have worked had his second along with his entire political not completely blown up in the first presidential sex scandal of the broadcast thirty years sanders is about to find out what like to be the man rather than the surrounded by cheap bernie what that means is that be the guy whose authenticity and viability as a candidate will be under and how exactly will warren or booker or any of the other progressive candidates come at put it this idea of a brilliant campaign and i have to think very hard to figure that start with the sensational trial playing out in this where the former campaign paul is charged with engaging in the worst kind of political corruption while working on behalf of foreign the first witness the prosecution called was tad devine chief adviser from the it turns had been working closely with manafort and charging exorbitant rates for influencing ukrainian not what has that thundering champion of reform and enemy of backroom had to say about any of this sleazy not a near as i can by the follows revelations that the same russians who tried to get trump elected had first tried to help sanders defeat hillary clinton in the they just remembered sanders warmly from the time he spent honeymooning in the soviet so is sanders really the guy to stand up and make the case against foreign influence on our not to mention the fecklessness and greed of the political not stop there because i can assure you his opponents remind democratic primary voters that sanders also refused to release his tax returns during the last and still sound like anyone remind you as clinton did in it probably has more resonance after parkland and other that sanders voted with the gun lobby against the brady bill and for legal immunity for gunmakers the two most consequential pieces of gun legislation in the past three take the opportunity to point out that like is linked to a scandal in his an investigation into his tenure as president of a vermont college that went bust and and if i were running against and we were going to talk about republican efforts to rig the electoral i might also note that who identifies as an routinely games the system in by filing for the senate as a democrat and then declining the so he have to face an actual democrat on the doing it right in bernie will turn in trump will be there goes your generational so if warren or kirsten gillibrand or deval patrick i howard the thing i say is been great for the and we appreciate but we need a candidate who can stand on that debate stage and present the cleanest contrast with donald and in too many ideology that just you the core problem for sanders is that tried to have it both wanted to hold himself out as above the tawdriness of pragmatism and party while simultaneously making the same calculations as every other ambitious and that was as long as his opponent was the personification of the system he but that happen this now the very same case he made against clinton will be made against instead that too compromised and too too much like the adversary to take full advantage of the you know what they say about as barbara bush said of another democratic it rhymes

new jersey are abysmal hard to imagine him ever winning statewide office the guy needs a with his early and his subsequent the theory is that christie has been trying to get in on the ground floor of a possible trump administration a maneuver that may have a better chance of working with trump than with a more orthodox as business josh barro observed back in most nominees have an entourage senate state house large campaign longtime political when you endorse a normal getting in line behind all those people for with at the front of the chris christie has made instantly and by a large most important no endorser can do that with the question now is whether trump feels like hiring so trump ruled it think chris christie is trump said in april certainly he would be somebody on the and christie is clearly open to an fact not been part of my discussions with trump in the to my christie said in march i can only tell you that you interview for those improving for two worth noting that trump and christie have known each other for a long they first met over dinner at years when christie was attorney for new jersey and trump was developing casinos in atlantic christie attended third trump attended first they like to say friends even confidants though others have described their relationship as either comfortable working and for trump who is said to value loyalty above all else comfort could be key which brings us to reason on picking christie has some serious he offer geographical or washington or electoral one loudmouth from the new york metro area is probably enough for any presidential but for the last four christie has shown time and time again that he has twisting himself into knots to demonstrate that his fealty to the nominee is stronger than his allegiance to the principles he professed during the take racially charged comments about gonzalo the judge overseeing the trump university fraud these a running most important role is to serve as the top to speak on his behalf whenever to brag about the good to spin the to stay on and to defend the boss no matter but of all rumored only christie bothered to defend trump during the curiel firestorm telling reporters in new am not going to get into critiquing a campaign that in the middle trump is not a christie allegations that he is are absolutely contrary to any experience had with him over the last at the rate trump is going and at the rate republicans are denouncing him entirely possible that by the time he arrives at the convention in which is where he plans to announce his running there will be no one left who he feels has been loyal enough to earn the other than of the second reason why stock could rise orlando or more calculation that renewed fears about future terrorist attacks could propel him to the presidency in as a christie touted his days as a federal prosecutor in new claiming that his experience sending terrorists to jail made him uniquely qualified to protect the he even described america safe and secure from terrorist attacks and making us a better ally and neighbor around the as signature issue of my true to christie made sure to talk tough about orlando this people hate us because of who we and going to try and kill and what this is all the new jersey governor said tuesday during an appearance on wfan unacceptable to allow this kind of stuff in our country and for us not to fight and we need to fight and all these people critics have questioned credentials on he failed to clarify where exactly the should after a mass shooting by an lone wolf but either his résumé is longer than if the presumptive nominee wants to keep using the orlando massacre to criticize record as he did monday with his speech in new hampshire then choosing christie might start to seem like an effective way to amplify his message one complication that could prevent trump and christie from teaming up in the trump is set to testify in the trump university fraud suit in two months

source of how donald trump spent his independence amid reports that the presumptive republican nominee has changed his mind about waiting until the gop convention in cleveland to unveil his running mate he now plans to select a sidekick next week according to an adviser trump summoned ernst to meet with him monday at the trump national golf club in they were not there to play as person briefed on the told the new york times the campaign has begun to consider ernst in recent days as a possible vice presidential both paul chief strategist and veepstakes and reince the republican national committee attended the as the it was to convince ernst to submit to a formal as a senior trump adviser told have play but not who had yet to express any definitive interest in the did powers of persuasion the at seemed pleased with how the meeting went even going so far as to suggest that he and ernst would be reuniting was great spending time with trump tweeted tuesday has done a fantastic job for the people of iowa and will see her response was equally positive if slightly more had a good conversation with donald trump today and we discussed what i am hearing from iowans as i travel around the state on my and the best path forward for our the senator said in a will continue to share my insights with donald about the need to strengthen our keep our nation safe and ensure america is always a stabilizing force around the for republicans have been mentioning ernst who has only been a senator for a year and a half as a potential vice and both governor and senior senator have touted her for the but until her meeting monday with no one knew whether she was really in the now we ernst has never been particularly about while the senator officially refused to endorse any of this gop candidates ahead of the iowa she was widely seen as favoring marco she appeared at one of his events she described him as good who is near and dear to the two youngish republicans even hired some of the same campaign staffers joni ernst campaigns for an iowa senate seat at the iowa state tom roll more continue reading on iowa caucus ernst questioned commitment to conservatism in a breakfast interview with bloomberg politics pointing to his past views on abortion and taxes as cause for from what he said just a few years i would not have agreed that he was a ernst no proof out there we have a record that we can judge him ernst remained neutral long after rubio had left the insisting in march that she would not be endorsing a candidate prior to the nominating convention even when trump effectively clinched the nomination with his may victory in indiana both of his remaining ted cruz and john subsequently suspended their campaigns ernst refused to back his bid our nominee is coming out of the convention is who going to she said the following ernst has been critical of in she called his plan to ban muslims from entering the country in she dismissed his remarks about women as last she pushed back on his asia policy and despite pronounced lack of enthusiasm for the presumptive republicans have continued to promote her as a real veep is a very person that i think can work with the other people in but she also has a background of having served in county having served in state said iowa terry branstad in certainly was a team player that we enjoyed working with here in the state of i think that if you want to put together an ideal profile of somebody who would be a great vice presidential she would be helpful to republicans in iowa as she brings to the ticket is that she is an outstanding messenger and has a lot of knowledge of military policy that trump iowa chuck grassley added she is also the first female combat veteran to serve in the ernst would be concluded arizona john is really as recently as two weeks trump did not appear to be pondering ernst for the vice think he must have his eyes set on somebody and she told reporters at the that was being i would have reached out to nobody has reached since trump seems to have taken not the rationale for picking ernst is of all the trump ernst provides perhaps the tidiest yin to his in many she completes at trump would be the oldest newly elected president in would be one of the youngest vps trump has a long record of misogynistic his poll numbers among women are ernst might be able to temper his chauvinistic image and prevent moderate suburban women from defecting to hillary clinton on election trump have any military experience or foreign policy ernst served in the national guard and army reserve for fought in iraq and currently sits on the senate armed services trump was born as a ernst would slip plastic bread bags over her one good pair of shoes to keep them dry on rainy days trump particularly religious or even ernst is a evangelical tea partyer who nonetheless appeals to a broad spectrum of republicans both sarah palin and mitt romney endorsed her in and could potentially help unite the gop this and while ernst has shown a trumpian knack for brash outsider politics grew up castrating hogs on an iowa when i get to know how to cut she said in her famous ad the senator has also proven to be a disciplined iowa is a swing why not add ernst to the gop ticket and be done with two the first has to do with the tycoon has repeatedly said that searching for a vp who knows capitol hill a partner who could help him pass his legislative ernst have much of a résumé in that in a ticket would have less combined elective experience than any other presidential pairing in and in could scare off swing voters even in an the second reason why ernst might not wind up as running mate has to do with a rising republican star at the beginning of her political her senate seat is safe until regardless of how it might heighten her national profile and regardless of how difficult it has to refuse a vp offer does she really want to tie her fate to everything ernst has said and done for the past few months suggests that she would rather find out soon enough whether trump has convinced her why conventions still a conversation with the only guy written two books on the subject books written by stan the republican national convention in yahoo library of more someone who is even more obsessed with conventions than we by stan haynes is a lawyer who handles compensation cases for the baltimore firm bowen semmes but his real passion is presidential nominating in his spare haynes has written two books about the subject the first american political transforming presidential which was published in and in the gilded the nominating conventions of which was published in in the new harvard historian jill lepore recently described haynes as most exhaustive chronicler of the and called his work on we caught up with haynes to talk about why conventions matter even when presidential nominations tend to be decided long before they even a lawyer by stan i this is just a always been a presidential history i was a nerdy not every lawyer ends up writing books about presidential nominating how did you get i read a lot of biographies of about years i was reading a lot of biographies about and i kept reading in the books that they were nominated at conventions held in i work in so i kind of became curious about where these conventions were i wanted to find out more about i thought i might write a thing for a local history society or then i got into it and i realized there were a lot there were probably a dozen held in baltimore in the between the and the civil so i got fascinated by the my interest kind of expanded to all of the written two books so far both on the are you planning to continue into the my plan is to have another one come out in the next election it will take us up to so interesting about they select the leaders of our they have for all of two since the and very important decisions have been sometimes by very narrow at conventions decisions that alter the course of what are some examples of those give you they were all decided by less than one was the democratic convention of the issue that turned that convention was the annexation of martin van buren was a former president who had been out of office for four years and was looking for a he was against the the candidate of the whig party that henry was also against the annexation of just a couple of weeks before the democratic andrew another former had a secret meeting at his home in tennessee at which he said the democratic nominee had to favor the annexation of and for that reason he opposed van who was his own former vice he then started a conspiracy to have a dark horse named james polk win the nomination at the polk even but all these polk guys cornered the delegates in washington on their way to baltimore and planted the they wound up pulling it polk won the and the reason he did was because of the rules which refused to change the democratic traditional if a simple majority had been enough to win the van buren would have won on the first but he gradually lost and on the eighth ballot or they put name forward and he the rules do the second the democratic convention in on the eve of the civil stephen douglas came in as the frontrunner like van with a majority of the but not the issue then was the slavery in the douglas was in favor of territories being able to prohibit through their before they became the southerners opposed they wanted the platform to reflect their the convention began in charleston and adopted the northern about southerners walked led by it and although douglas was the he get to after a week or they suspended the convention for six then they came to baltimore and it got even at that all of the charleston delegates who had walked out wanted their seats all of the southern states had appointed replacement it was this big battle that went before the credentials the convention blew the committee issued a compromise report but this time southern delegates walked twice the number as in they went to a nearby meeting hall and set up their own party and their own they called it the national democratic on the same in baltimore june there were two democratic conventions that nominated two separate candidates for the northern democrats nominated stephen douglas and the southern democrats nominated john who was the sitting vice president under of with the party abraham lincoln won the election easily with a minority of the and that was fairly how about the third the third one was the republican which nominated another dark horse the key to that was president grant was coming back after four years out of office and trying to get a third that was very because george washington had stepped down after two terms and so had all the presidents who followed even though there was no constitutional amendment prohibiting a third term at the americans were afraid of a dictator or king taking the convention turned to garfield the the annexation of texas was decided by about votes the votes that approved the if delegates had changed their vote on van buren would have been nominated and texas would not have been annexed at that in it was the same margin on the credentials in the if or delegates had changed their perhaps the walkout would have been prevented and the democrats could have settled on a compromise nominee potentially denying lincoln the same thing in there were disputes over the seating of the delegates and the way certain states a margin of less than delegates on the rules committee would have changed the if they had changed their you could have had a what kind of precedent would that have perhaps a constitutional amendment would have been passed earlier and perhaps have been president during the second world in other conventions are exactly but are they still in the modern the nominee is chosen through popular voting in primaries and the conventions have a lot less i still think they have all you need is more than two candidates in the mix to prevent someone from winning a majority on the first and right back to the do you see any parallels between past conventions and the way this conventions are shaping the republican race reminds me of the democratic grover cleveland was in the white the big issue was silver or gold and cleveland supported the establishment of the democratic party was really rejected that much like the republican establishment in the party votes at the convention to praise the incumbent administration of the but when they offered a resolution praising cleveland in it the party went with william jennings bryan instead the insurgent much like bryan gave his famous of speech and won the nomination out of anything unprecedented about this remember when it looked like trump was not going to get a majority of delegates before the and everyone if got more than anybody he should just get the absolutely no precedent in history for there are so many presidents who were nominated after losing on the first you just give it to the guy with a plurality of votes going but most americans today in our modern primary system would say that the voters should not the the job of the if no one wins during the the job is in its pick the person who can win the and what has happened time and again these dark horse candidates went on to win the garfield in won the lincoln won in polk in won the rutherford hayes in won the saying that conventions might be better at this whole a thing than conventions have a pretty good track record of picking the guy who can everyone today thinks a brokered convention should be avoided like the but history says clinton campaigns with obama and

although in his case it usually has more to do with pearly gates than future when i asked him about reaction to he bother he told not the way you operate as a told you the magic of you who know we are vulnerable to radical everyone knows we are vulnerable to kasich went somehow insinuate that the president of the united states accepts this or condones just as for american kasich told they know someone is going to do something to cause going to speak out about what i i wondered if trump could win by talking this think he can get elected with this kasich said once again this kasich is an

nearly minutes railing against the media that he claimed had been about his first months in the job is to be they deserve a fat failing trump declared in a scathing rant that prompted his supporters to turn around and boo reporters on the scene to cover his what seemed like every grievance trump has held against reporters spilled he called cnn and two of his favorite the new york a paper that trump has given repeated interviews to since he won the election last was struggling so badly it was to look like a comic he insisted though the paper has reported a jump in subscriptions since he took he repeatedly attacked the media as of with the concerns of everyday americans and questioned why any reporter had any right to judge after three months of speeches in which trump had continued to relive last election and rail against onetime rival hillary the president had finally settled on a new rally was latest attempt to offer counterprogramming to his perceived a card he regularly played during the in this target was the hundreds of political journalists gathered in washington for the annual white house on trump became the first president in years to skip the eschewing

reporters and vice but for the it was also the scene of a eviscerating takedown in when barack obama openly mocked the new york political who at the time was the leading voice on conspiracy theories that obama was not born in the was visibly and though trump has repeatedly denied that he was embarrassed or the episode is said to have cemented the determination to seek the presidency and avenge his including that desire to prove those who underestimate him wrong has been a driving force for trump for his entire adult life from his entry into the gilded world of manhattan real estate to his unlikely path to the and perhaps why trump continues to live in the past spending at least part of his remarks saturday as he often does in public relitigating the election in what seems to be an infinite desire for credit for stunning the world with his surprise victory last predictions were so trump said of the accusing them of pulling for clinton last president trump at his rally in carlos

days in for a candidate who rose to power on what he has described as his movement and who thrived from the adulation he felt from the massive rallies he held all over the trump has spent little time on the road trying to activate those supporters to advance his political agenda in unlike other presidents who have spent a large part of their early days in office on the road giving speeches and making the case for their political trump has spent much of his first months in office at the white house or at his lavish florida trump has made just a handful of public appearances outside washington including visits to south virginia and where he held small policy events largely to tout job on he addressed the national rifle association convention in where he mostly relived his campaign though aides said he would hit the road to sell his agenda after a speech to congress in late that swing never by obama had visited roughly largely to sell policy initiatives like his economic stimulus and traveled overseas three times by this point his in his first george bush was on the road even hitting roughly states to sell his push for tax cuts and education reforms like child left he had also traveled to mexico on his first overseas for bush and their domestic trips just to friendly both presidents traveled to states during their first days to target members of the opposing party in hopes of winning bipartisan support for their policy for that included trips to michigan and obama traveled to home to his political john perhaps most surprising to those who closely followed campaign is until appearance in he had held just three rallies in tennessee and all states that he won less than many given obsession with rallies which were such a source of energy and life for him during his run for the white house that many within his campaign wondered if he would be able to give them up and focus on the scene from the new holland arena as president trump leads a rally in carlos more white house press secretary sean spicer has told reporters that lack of travel in support of his agenda is because he is focused on matters in but others within the party point to other including a policy agenda that has lacked clarity and focus and a commander in chief who often struggles to stay on you are you travel to make a one republican party official who declined to be named critiquing if the campaign is any maybe the determination has been that he would step on that and just not worth while trump has mastered the ability to whip up his supporters through other means like his ability to truly activate his supporters in support of his political agenda remains and much of that agenda remains in limbo after a rocky first days in during the he set his own with but he has

one year later for part click here the senator in the weeks after the violence in tim kaine traveled around trying to wrap his mind around how something so horrific could have happened in his adopted home it was the democratic senator knew both of the virginia state troopers who had been killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the deadly one of jay had flown him all over the state when kaine was the other berke was friendly with anne who had worked as terry education but it was more than his human connection to the tragedy that shook a mayor of richmond before his rise in state and national politics his stint as hillary running kaine could not grasp how this could have taken place in a state in his had worked hard to overcome its ugly history of racial the first state to enshrine legalized home of the old capital of the virginia had seen blood spilled by generations of people over the question of racial but he had been convinced that the state had genuinely turned the so proud of the arc that virginia has been because i mean our state knows hate pretty we know division pretty kaine really feel like turned a corner from facing and still clinging to bad old to facing forward and really trying to be about trying be that state for trying to be a a what happened in kaine was painful personally for that very this was simply not the virginia he knew and first thought last august was that we have some people trying to drag us he are people who want to drag us sadly even including the who stokes division and who tell who was on the right side and wrong side in a rally in which demonstrates a level of moral confusion that almost certainly is intentional rather than touring the state for a series of previously scheduled town halls in the weeks following that deadly kaine found himself standing before other virginians who were as shocked as he is not who virginia he told constituents again and but a year tensions between the old virginia and the new take

republicans have shunned stewart including a state republican party official who resigned his post when stewart won the gop but other republicans have not including president who endorsed sitting in his senate where he could not talk about his opponent without running afoul of ethics kaine declined to speak about stewart but a year after he acknowledged that the same kind of racial tensions and political polarization that led to last rally are still prevalent not only in his state but in the rest of the in a battle between love and hate right kaine a battle about whether we still believe in the two words at the end of the pledge of allegiance are we or and sad that we have to be in that battle in some but in other ways incredibly and i see evidence of it he pointed to the marches including the march and the march for our lives and voter turnout in state elections last when democrats captured several key including the surprising political pundits who believed republicans would be boosted by rural who strongly supported trump in was a huge uptick in turnout for an traditionally somewhat and i think some of it was because of kaine of it was people wanting to stand up loudly in their own is not who we the president can pretend this is who we are as a but going to stand up and is not who we and i see that kind of energy out there all the time was of the worst days in our history in kaine the i think people are standing up even with a stronger backbone to may have been who we were in the but we put all that away and moving to a better future and if what happened last year has made people even redouble their efforts to make holly bailey the photographer on july ryan a photographer for the charlottesville daily gave his announcing that he would be leaving the

were just marching kelly sort of looked like any other march that i would see for any other demonstration or event over the last couple of years in they being there any other white nationalists or anything like so it actually felt the calmest that charlottesville had felt all i just wanted to get some pictures of them just standard people just showing the size of the a few seconds kelly he a

and lawyers just over the span of a couple of phone but it was decided pretty quickly that we were going to publish so that was up on our website and on the wire pretty and the response to just spreading was unlike anything ever it was incredible the way people responded to that violent clashes erupt at the rally in kelly spent sunday helping the daily progress responding to a social media messages and driving himself reading news coverage of the car on hours after he took that he was at his new job at the decided that going to work and starting something and having something else to focus on instead of focusing on all of would be the best thing for kelly his connection to was far from in his photo won the pulitzer prize for outstanding news kelly and his wife were on a plane returning from europe when the winners were and found out when they looked up to the pulitzer even before i was involved in journalism he always been very aware and sort of in awe of a lot of those i

then was really and being able to see a happy kind of joyous occasion after all of that hate and violence was a really nice opportunity that really grateful to have an opportunity kelly would gladly give back along with the pulitzer if he could go back in time and save still very aware of the fact that it came at the loss of and dozens of other people were injured two police officers lost their kelly officers were monitoring the events from the air and died in a helicopter it was a tragic and i was spared most of you i i was just a but very aware that a lot of people had their lives altered forever on that so hard to just take joy in something like a pulitzer when you know that it came because of such a tragic if in some alternative was given a every time i would prefer that day not

charlottesville early saturday white nationalists march with torches in a white nationalist and podcast was recruited to be a speaker at the rally by jason the who embedded with cantwell that says she did not feel physically threatened even when she hopped in a van with cantwell and other as they raced away from a you just make these really quick calculations about the not gonna get out unless they drag me she there was one moment that unnerved reeve and her when they visited cantwell in his hotel in the but he started screaming at reeve was very angry and did start reloading the by the end of the everybody was just this is great talking to you and going to go reeve has kept in touch with cantwell since the documentary a scene from the torch rally in charlottesville on from news tonight on more called me after it and said that i had represented him she as the consequences from charlottesville sort of snowballed over he started to feel a lot more after cantwell a posted a video online that shows him fighting back tears after learning a warrant was issued for his it went and he was dubbed the cantwell later turned himself and wound up serving more than five months in jail on assault and weapons charges stemming from his use of pepper spray during a clash with only texted with him since gotten reeve did talk to him for like an hour and a half a few weeks just to sort of i what he

most people who recognize the bespectacled vice news correspondent in public now are there was one particularly creepy encounter for reeve in the past was going through the security line at the airport for christmas and the tsa guy recognized she thank thank thank and i go through the whole scan and i get out and putting on my and he comes over and he tells me this little joke that lets me know that a not like he specifically saw my scan or but it was just really it was just like this sense we saw that in charlottesville the torch reeve were hundreds of white very well they had a security they had vans bringing the they also did not look like the people white people in the east coast think of when they think of racists or white i think a really hard reality for people to accept that a lot of these white nationalists are from new they went to prep they live in nice they look like people you i think really important to show capturing the harsh reality of charlottesville was just as reason why the documentary got so much attention that it was used to the reeve are people who wanted to give the idea that this was just like history buffs people who were civil war people

edward historian and former university of richmond had no way of knowing what would come of his talk at the virginia festival of the book in march was a talk about ayers how we remember some things and not he there on a near the end of the ayers was asked about confederate statues by kristin then a member of the city and whether they should consider removing would have thought i had asked if it was ok to torture szakos recalled in a hosted by a few months later been talking about the monuments for a long ayers remembered how they got there or what they were for and what they and so i just called attention to them because but the talk sparked szakos and others to take up the cause in as clashes over confederate symbols raged in several southern the debate over what to do with boiled to

gathering in chip more in blue ribbon commission on memorials and public spaces was formed to address the robert lee and stonewall jackson ayers was familiar with the task force but necessarily attuned to what was brewing in the small college was a lot more focused on which has some legacy of the civil he yet ayers found himself back in charlottesville just as the unite the right marchers descended upon the city to oppose the the university of virginia had scheduled a series of alternative activities that would be focused on progressive causes while the was in on ayers was scheduled to teach a class about voting as ayers and his wife got ready to head to the five miles they followed the clashes on just watched it unravel before our ayers white and members of the clash with counterprotesters as they enter lee park during the the on in chip more think we lost our he people lost their innocence that weekend and now imagine that the statues just mean that all they are were testimonials to good faith to the now they see that they are politically charged and that public spaces matter and that everybody has a claim to the public spaces in the cities where they i think it was an experience for a lot of ayers sits on monument avenue which has been responsible for what the city will do with its own confederate statues whether that is removing erecting statues commemorating those outside of the confederate past or explaining what they truly stand people say that this is like the taliban removing ayers this is a deeply democratic process for the first for

nikuyah he said early on in his campaign community members suggested taking down the which garnered death threats and hate it also drew the ire and attention of in late kessler published old tweets from bellamy that included vulgar and kessler filed a petition for a recall bellamy apologized and resigned from the state board of but he retained his seat on the city council after a judge dismissed the a year after the bellamy says he pay much attention to kessler but that the organizer serves a he want but he brought a lot of people in our community together because we had to denounce bellamy one of supporters in the movement to remove bellamy was corey who is currently the republican candidate for senate in stewart has aligned himself with white supremacist groups and has been an outspoken supporter of preserving confederate bellamy says that prominence makes it harder for people to ignore white is not about a he is about the covert and overt racism and the systemic issues had in our country for the statue of confederate stonewall jackson is shown covered in black tarp as wes the vice mayor of looks on in justin more bellamy said that in the wake of the violence in charlottesville there are still a number of issues to address but that there has been in the awakening of he added that community members who had been apathetic about taking down statues and addressing issues in the city have come forward with their have been people sorry we support you or we quite get it bellamy now going to use their privilege or voice or whether big and to actually address these issues of white a judge on the charlottesville circuit court will rule on the future of the statues later this bellamy expects that whatever the court decides there will be an so a final decision would likely come from the state supreme court in early bellamy says there has been pushback from some who would prefer things just return to the but that the city is pushing want for people to think of charlottesville as just a this place where white supremacy reigns bellamy still a lot of great things in and no different than many other communities throughout the we may have took a punch in the but we knocked down we came back christopher wilson the white supremacist last christopher cantwell traveled from his home in to speak at an rally in nearly a year finally left virginia

which he was featured his own tearful youtube posted in the aftermath of the violent earned cantwell the nickname cantwell later surrendered to police and was charged with felony assault stemming from his use of illegal tear gas during a clash with counterprotesters on the march through the university of virginia the night before the he wound up serving days in a charlottesville jail and more than seven months under house last he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and battery and to violating the terms of his bond by referring to his victims on social media and during his radio show which he hosted from in exchange for his guilty cantwell was released from jail and banned from virginia for five feels good to be says who insists he was framed and coerced into pleading feels good to be done with this whole legal woes exactly behind he is the target of an ongoing civil lawsuit by two including activist emily who was during the as part of his guilty plea cantwell admitted to violating

libertarian now says he would have a lot of things have gone to that thing if realized what a catastrophe the people who were putting it together he referring to unite the right organizer jason kessler as literal mental to be regrets about his participation in unite the right have little to do with the views espoused by its but rather are based on what he sees as poor planning and his failure to properly prepare for the potential blowback against a gathering of hundreds of white supremacists and in a city by idea that anybody would follow him into something as dangerous as what we walked into down there is absolutely cantwell christopher a white nationalist is overcome with tear gas after hundreds of white nationalists and white supremacists carrying torches marched in a parade through the university of virginia campus on evelyn the washington post via getty more despite repeatedly referring to himself as cantwell is unrepentant about his racist and in it seems to have only become further solidified in the past new favorite catch phrase on the show on calling everybody a and eventually gonna be because literally what cantwell in held without without probable facing years in prison because a jew and a tranny framed me for a and calling me a you know starting to think the nazis had a only faced months in prison for his though nominally about the preservation of a statue honoring confederate gen robert the underlying objective of the unite the right was to bring various factions of the largely movement together in real for many the sight of most of them marching through the university of virginia campus carrying tiki torches and chanting things like will not replace served as a shocking realization that such attitudes were still alive in whatever unity may have existed among the prior to charlottesville was largely fractured in its aftermath as efforts to ban some of the most vitriolic members from social media and crowdfunding platforms drove them further into the darkest corners of the fears of losing their job and being labeled a nazi discouraged many from publicly affiliating themselves with the while others who sought to channel the momentum of charlottesville into a political and social movement proved to be full of hot air figures in the world of white including have discouraged their followers from attending unite the right slated to take place in this coming cantwell disputes the notion many people who might have previously held racist views in secret are now more comfortable expressing think it had the exact opposite impact of he what i will say is that the people who were comfortable voicing fanatics caitlin dickson the activist emily gorcenski lived in charlottesville for nearly a decade before she first got involved with local in march a few months when she heard there was going to be a rally of white supremacists and in her adopted gorcenski felt obligated to would be unconscionable to not go to oppose

pleaded guilty to those though gorcenski is currently embroiled in a separate civil dispute with she said that admitted his responsibility and taken some measure of accountability for his actions and his violence at uva that she considers the torch march to be among the most disturbing moments from that the scope of the men with torches surrounding some or students and intimidating and shouting slurs at and then doing violence to and to all of is the kind of gross mob violence that we were afraid gorcenski i think that sticks out as one of those traumatic memories that will never go for the trauma of unite the right lasted well after the weekend was over the past she says experienced continuous harassment both online and in person as a result of the criminal case against had my personal details leaked on the received death gorcenski adding that strangers even showed up at her house in charlottesville with multiple times when felt threatened for my physical peter along with and white

the notable moments from the interview with the newspaper he likes to describe as trump wants to have a military parade on pennsylvania avenue like the one he saw in paris it was one of the most beautiful parades i have ever and in we should do one one day down pennsylvania i wondered if you were going to say always thought of always thought of thought of it long the bastille day parade was now that was a i that was very much more than they must have had planes over our normally you have the planes and like the super bowl and everyone goes and that happened for and you know what else that was it was you it was two and the parade it go a whole they go you want to but you have or you want to these things are going on all it was a they had so many different maybe different different different then we had the the the ones who were badly the whole it was an incredible trump explains his extended handshakes with french president emmanuel macron he was very deferential to a great loves holding my people realize he loves holding my and as far as that trump talks about invading russia napoleon finished a little bit but i asked so i asked so what about he what he did was he designed the street the way they you the he did so many things even and his one problem is he go to russia that night because he had extracurricular and they froze to how many times has russia been saved by the same thing happened to not for that hitler wanted to he was all set to walk but he wanted to and it went and dropped to degrees below and that was the end of that but the russians have great fighters in the they use the cold to their i won five wars where the armies that went against them froze to pretty having a good the economy is doing trump says the first lady of akie who gave a speech in english in even say i was seated next to the wife of prime minister abe abe of who i think is a terrific and a terrific but speak like not that must make for an awkward because you sitting there for so the dinner was probably an hour and vladimir more trump says his unscheduled chat with russian president vladimir putin at the summit was about was sitting next to putin and somebody and the way it so the meal was and toward dessert i went down just to say hello to and while i was there i said hello to pleasantries more than anything it was not a long but it you could be just talked about it was very we talked about you we talked about russian i always found that you he ended that years and i actually talked about russian adoption with which is interesting because it was a part of the conversation that don had in that as said most other you when they call up and the we have information on your i think most politicians i was just with a lot of they said have taken a meeting like trump believes comey was seeking over him by sharing the dossier about allegations that the russian government had compiled incriminating information on him when he brought it to i said this is really i think about i just thought this is such a phony i this is it was so and they know i was just there for a very short period of it was so and i was with groups of it was so wrong that i really i think about i know what to think other this is really phony in my he shared it so that i would think he had it out as i think in trump says a special counsel never have been i have done nothing a special counsel should never have been appointed in this jeff susan more trump says he regrets choosing sessions as attorney general sessions should have never recused and if he was going to recuse he should have told me before he took the and i would have picked somebody he gave you no heads up at in any so jeff sessions takes the gets into the recuses i then have i think is very unfair to the how do you take a job and then recuse if he would have recused himself before the i would have but i you not going to take extremely and a mild to the so he recuses i then end up with a second a what jeff sessions did was he recused himself right right after he became attorney and i you tell me this trump appears to think the fbi director reports to him and nothing was changed other than richard nixon came and when nixon came along was pretty and out of the started reporting to the department of but there was nothing there was nothing from there was nothing but the person really reports directly to the president of the united which is you which is and i think going to have a great new granddaughter makes a surprise appearance hi how are arabella my granddaughter who speaks say hello to them in

trump calls his meeting last year with a number of russians offering information to use against hillary clinton political i look into it very to be honest with i just heard there was an email requesting a meeting or something requesting a that they have information on hillary and i said i this was standard political did you know at the time that they had the i know anything about the but you it must have been a very important must have been a very unimportant because i never even heard about donald spencer more trump says the meeting had no effect on his campaign i think i added anything much different than i had been made some very strong speeches about the corrupt the emails being deleted and and all of the things she was i would make those speeches there much i could say about hillary clinton that was worse than what i was already i i was talking she deleted and which nobody does because of the how she got away with that i have no i talked about the back of the i talked about the uranium i talked about the speech that russia gave clinton while she was secretary of state the i talked about the back of the plane i unless somebody said that she shot somebody in

elizabeth warren and has been cast in the role of a populist he is running against an older ralph who speaks with a southern drawl that resonates with the older and despite the fact that a recent poll showed perriello ahead by two the former congressman knows he has a big hill to banking on getting new voters to the polls in an election that generated a lot of media attention at a time when the news cycle is dominated by all things the congressional testimony of former fbi director james comey thursday morning is just the latest episode to overwhelm the political base is highly likely to vote in the perriello said in an interview this noting that voters generally are democrats who have voted in past skewing older and more lot of people are skeptical that our supporters younger voters of rural voters are actually going to show up for a primary a half hour perriello warned a group of or supporters in an arlington restaurant that virginia gubernatorial primaries are usually pretty sleepy we see the same electorate show going to be a challenge for he told brad a former white house aide under president obama who this perriello lamented that trump on the ballot no one is paying perriello picked up that point and expanded on in a gentle critique of the many people energized by sentiment or the droves of young progressives who are quick to protest but have yet to show up at the polls in nonpresidential have to get them excited about state and local perriello it should be so because the things that we care about so states actually have more of a criminal justice community quality he went on to note that when he tried to mobilize support for terry proposal in march to expand was difficult to get with a lot of the resistance go all in on this for put every bit of pressure we because the fight could immediately affect and it was disappointing to see how hard it still is to get people to make that transition from anything trump and to the state perriello after

now in where spending their vacation than in running for the northam campaign has also worked hard to try to undermine support among young and progressive sending operatives to his rallies to ask him questions about his past positions on abortion and northam wants perriello on defense about his more conservative past which were the product of his deep catholic faith and the fact that in he won election to congress in largely conservative fifth congressional which starts on the southern border and snakes up the eastern edge of the shenandoah mountains all the way to perriello lost his seat

known as the during his reelection he boasted of having previously with democrats on abortion and but he now says he has always been personally and apologized in january for his support of perriello is still critical of the democratic party for its approach to cultural i hear from a lot of voters who went either or trump this last was the sense and obviously this was partly promoted by fox news that democrats only care about where people go to the perriello view is we absolutely should care about protecting trans teens and vetoing bathroom we just have to be clear we care about all of but perriello wants to talk economics much more than culture war and makes a passionate and interesting case for breaking up big business monopolies to help return jobs and wealth to both poor inner cities and rural he has opposed two proposed natural gas pipelines that would run through and refused any financial contributions from the largest energy dominion the energy he is important to our base and the environmental base but is also extremely popular with trump voters and who hate hate corruption in the system and hate the fact that this is standing in the way of farmers and rural communities being able to get some of the jobs of the new energy when perriello discusses racial justice and on how to force compromise in the his intelligence and depth shines through the most he draws on his years of experience mediating foreign conflicts in places like sierra leone and the congo where obama named him a special envoy to explain his vision for a special commission on racial healing and of the things you learn as a peace negotiator is the same thing you learn in any human which is when two people are not actually listening to each just waiting for the other person to validate whatever point of view they have or pain that they and until then just he figuring out how in these conversations we can acknowledge legitimate grievances from various perspectives is an issue of perriello has spoken out regularly and forcefully on systemic issues of inequality and but also said that it is vastly oversimplified and unwise to say someone in appalachia that you are benefiting from white privilege when you have relatives dying of the opioid you have uncles dying of black lung and the when he was asked while campaigning this week whether relationships with the legislature might make the lieutenant governor more adept at getting things done in perriello responded with a thoughtful and forceful argument that politics has just a misunderstanding of how politics works and how leverage he way you do this is you go out and you win the republican not the doing this in backroom deals in richmond gotten us a minimum wage it gotten us criminal justice it

child at some and the way we respond as a culture will determine the outcome for that what we know is people who rush their who have good social support and people who bear witness to their pain and suffering without trying to fix or change them have better outcomes and the healing comes from and if we talk about it and we learn about then too because what we we i tell you the number of parents i work with who say they feel like they have even in a small in the grocery and their child died a few months and be going down an aisle and see someone they know well and that person will actually make eye contact and turn around and walk the other but we have to be a society that can deal with the onus of responsibility falls on because parents barely making it day to so the way their neighbors treat or their churches or temples treat the way that the school system treats them and their other the way the mailman treats them all of these things how losing a sibling in childhood haunts the parent i am today you suffered a personal loss that drove you to make this your your fourth child was can you talk about the my other kids were and we were all anxiously anticipating arrival to me nothing sweeter than a newborn their skin and their and you just fall in love with them every single over and and she during they find a cause of she was the room was silent when she was they did not try to resuscitate i remember everything it was traumatic but i remember my legs were shaking and they handed her to my i had my eyes i was so i i had given birth before but it was very and the ultrasound had said it was a boy and i really wanted a so he my a and i think my maternal instinct took i just sat up and reached my arms out for her and he put her in my arms and she was she had rolls of i mean she was this very well big and i was gleaming with and then i oh my it was such a bizarre you i my body gave death instead of and i really had an acrimonious relationship with my body after i was very angry with myself for not doing what i felt like i was supposed to i think i was in shock for a very long and then i fare very this was july she been last expert joanne joanne how did you parent your other i i cried a i just cried and and people stood in for the which was really i i remember distinctly when there were days i felt like i had a little more energy and take them to the but inevitably encounter a family and have a newborn and i would find myself staring and then in and then asking the kids if we could go hard but it was really hard back then because there was no place to i had tried some counselors and no one really understood grief at in to the be getting advice that need to forget about what move on with your have someone pack up the have you considered i i think about this as one of the top researchers in who trained these so i spiraled downward to a very dark how did you climb out of an important turning point for me was the christmas after she i took the money spent on her and bought some toys for some underprivileged kids and brought them to a head start on christmas and in that moment she was very much because my love for her and i was able to enact that love in the that became the kindness project such an intentional act of love for a so it requires us to call our person to heart to remember actively and with and to i love this even though not going to do something for someone and in a be their hands and feet in the that was a huge part of my getting my equilibrium but i was still hurting i the miss i just thought i would start a little support group in my and then it just grew and and then it was like a mini i also went to look at the and there was a dearth of literature on the death of a child so i somebody has to do and i went to i had one more i was really but i think made me appreciate every single moment more the first few months i want to take my eyes off of how do other people get through the death of a i think so much depends on the social there was a really interesting research study published by one of my and it found that social constraints more than negative outcomes in now what does that basically people telling you to over not to talk about move on with your you done that those kinds of intimations are not pretty and yet we still do i tell you the number of people who call me concerned about their or son who been three they be or i three months is this is love talking about you lose a house or a job and those things are hard but this is like the abyss of human suffering in every it also depends also on how people see the for i work with one patient whose son died a he saved life and lost his life in the so everywhere she people are was such a so and just treated with such love around her i have another woman whose son overdosed on we call that a can you imagine how each of them may feel in reaction to the way people treat the death of a at one time in this was treated as not as important as the death of an older slowly very slowly suicide is another disenfranchised as are homicides that are gang and drug judgment by others about the worthiness of this so we want to blame the griever all the time for not moving on or but the reality is that the way other people treat us matters a lot to the way our grief experience how do you counsel it depends on the person and the but if the near me we sit maybe once or twice a if far away i do something called so they come and work with me for an extended period of my goal is to just help them to feel a little more upheld than they usually have often the last resort for had people come from as far away as which is people should have someone in their area who is sufficiently trained to shepherd them through and why i say important for us as a culture because anyone can people just need to be allowed to go through what going what would you suggest for people who want to be supportive but just know what to it can just be something as simple as thinking of you and most of the time parents really appreciate when people just do something so or in the something like bringing over meals and dropping them off at the if a family go and clean their house with their of put any of their stuff touch their room even clean i have families who have not cleaned their room because they find little a lot of chatter around that being leaving room as not saying never take it saying take it down if and when you want who does it hurt to leave we have a lot of people who are so concerned about people being we live in a culture where we have a very low tolerance for painful emotions we want everyone to be happy all the time and we have this sort of happiness but the reality is that i cry every and probably one of the most fulfilled people i i live really i love i have a huge passion for but i cry all the so just because you just because mean you also have erik mace for yahoo please follow on facebook twitter instagram

for office or shown much enthusiasm for suggestions that she do the failure of hillary two campaigns stand as a reminder that presidential coalitions just be race and gender in a better identity politics would not be a major factor in choosing a and a reductive analysis of voters along racial lines would not explain much of our we do not live in that and the internal politics of the modern democratic party in particular are impossible to understand without starting with race and race and gender identities of the candidates have been front and center in many state and national democratic primaries since the election cycle saw female democrats win primaries in disproportionate a fact much touted by democrats and their many of the contenders and their supporters are not subtle about trumpeting the benefits of running a woman in pete the first openly gay we can best illustrate the role of race in particular by looking at the primary calendar and the and primary first what the democratic electorate will look exit polls are not available for every contest nor are they without their own but we have a primary exit poll from or both in of the democratic and they show an electorate that ranges from slightly to heavily and that varies widely from state to state in its racial in of those primary the democratic electorate was at least percent in some cases as high as percent with more nonwhite voters tend to be more heavily for a variety of depressing a rough estimate based on the demographics for the remaining states and delegates percent of the or percent of the majority needed to will be selected by primary contests where white voters are likely to be a i include california and new mexico in that despite exit polls showing those polls were taken over a decade and the demographics have continued to shifts are evident in states where exit polls are available for both and while you might have expected a larger turnout of voters in the primary due to the presence of barack obama on the the democratic electorate regularly featured more black voters and fewer white voters than in south for the electorate was percent white and percent black in percent white and percent black in by black women alone percent of the primary outnumbered all white voters in the south carolina in white voters declined from percent to that reflects overall trends within the especially in the south and white ancestral democrats died off or left the party in the obama while younger generations of democrats included more nonwhite campaigns also increased the registration and participation rates among voters in women remain the most reliably democratic of all voter and turnout among black women is now at least competitive with that of any other voter quite unlike turnout that has major implications for democratic in the next set of primary in which white voters are likely to be less than percent of all pushes the total to percent of the a large enough nonwhite vote to be decisive if nonwhite voters are unified while white voters are voters are hardly a of mexican immigrants living in california african americans living in rural and native hawaiians are quite different groups of the point here is simply that an awful lot of delegate selection will be done in states where nonwhite voters are a very large of the states that choose at least it is likely that five will have primary electorates and six will have electorates that are below percent while only two and will be above percent combination of voter demographics and voter mood is one reason that the white male candidates have been disproportionately hesitant to jump into this in the states where we have more specific white men were a quarter or less of democratic voters in south new and georgia in and california and new jersey in with and north carolina not far much does that matter to how the voters the dividing lines can be graphically illustrated by grouping the democratic contests by their winners in and contests won by both barack obama and bernie sanders against hillary clinton tended to be overwhelmingly white mainly smaller states with caucuses dominated by progressive activists or primaries with less overwhelmingly female is the democrats abroad notice wisconsin is on that there were nine states that hillary clinton lost in all three of her presidential races and eight of those were red states west of the the other was whose unique combination of green activists and voters never warmed to to the states that flipped from obama in to hillary in the states that decided both races a stark contrast appears to the every one of them except iowa had a significant black the clintons were always popular with and given the choice between hillary and they chose clinton in large given the choice between hillary and those voters went overwhelmingly for south carolina set the hillary beat bernie among voters after losing them to this was a recurring as andrew prokop at vox put obama won every primary in the eight states where more than percent of the population is and sometimes racked up huge margins in this dominance was because he won the votes of between and percent of black voters in each of these according to exit net over delegates from these eight states close to the margin of his pledged delegate lead when the primary season despite the ideological element of failed to the racial and by cost him the contests that hillary clinton won twice present a different these states on average had nearly as many hispanic voters as black voters have large immigrant and a lot more female voters compared with the bernie they also tended to be states with closed primaries rather than caucuses thus more democratic partisans than ideological pew estimated that hillary beat obama among hispanic and she continued that trend against the list includes many of the largest states as well as the last remnants of bill the picture is the handful of states that backed the loser both going from hillary to these were all with none of them closed to and all with a substantial number of the prototypically trumpy white voters virginia being the state where percent of the voters in preferred an incarcerated felon to renominating president does this all mean for the current the controversies of the trump and metoo era and the increasingly vocal nature of activism have made it common to hear prominent voices say openly that democrats need to run a candidate against trump who is not not or that could be particularly bad news for the two sanders and both very old white men who cut their political teeth in the very different world of the bernie has often struggled to connect to nonwhite voters and activists and has openly argued for a shift in emphasis from cultural to economic in line with the daily worker ethos of his for his has a trail of statements and positions on crime and as he was long the most ardent drug warrior in though he also has the residual glow of association with challenge for sanders in particular comes into view when you look at the primary calendar according to when each state first two iowa and new are both potentially strong territory for iowa is a new hampshire is an open primary in a state next door to his home and both are overwhelmingly white fact that has led to a lot of grumbling from progressive activists about their primacy on the bernie won new hampshire in and with a crowded he could win both without needing to get past to percent of the possible to win the nomination without winning either of those two states clinton did it in but nobody in either party since edmund muskie in has won both without winning the look ahead to march five weeks after new by that percent of the delegates will have been some percent of those delegates will be selected by not percent of the delegates through march will be chosen by states likely to have and another percent by states where white voters are likely to be below this is not bernie if he shown overwhelming strength in the first two going to find himself swimming against the matter in any crowded and the most obvious if democratic voters line up along race and gender is kamala the current field includes three white women kirsten and elizabeth one man one hispanic man who seems unlikely to be a and one woman of heritage who is something of a boutique abrams is the only potential entrant who a white and she probably leaves harris as the only woman in the if she can marginalize gabbard and drive booker off the field before south she could end up as both the only black candidate and the only woman of she and swalwell are also the only the largest state votes on super march a big change from its june position in the last two while some observers question where harris fits in ideological her ability to claim a distinctive lane while also claiming the most valuable geographic base seems likely to be much more that also drives her strategic nothing can be more important to harris than getting booker out of the race as early as history shows that race and gender identity matters to the lanes in a democratic primary in ways it would not in a republican for all the wedge issues his campaign in it would have been ridiculous for donald trump to argue that voters should support him just because he was white and there were eleven other candidates in the despite the overwhelmingly white republican chief competition came from the two hispanic candidates cruz and marco rubio got more votes between them in contested primaries and caucuses than trump and the lone african american in the ben was the only candidate to ever lead trump in the national poll if a issue that plays out more openly among not race or gender but as the divisive spats between mike huckabee and mitt romney age and familiarity a second way in which democratic voters behave differently from republican they are much more enamored with youth and fresh since republicans have nominated a candidate age or older election eight times in eleven including four of the six republican presidents elected in that by democrats have not elected a president aged or older since james buchanan in and have nominated only two candidates over since hillary clinton and john the average age of newly elected democratic presidents is and it drops to if you count only the seven elected since the civil also deviate from pronounced tendency to pick the in every republican nominee since had run for the job before except for george whose father had been president just eight years trump had not been a serious candidate but he had been nationally famous for over three ran in the primary in and had been publicly musing about running for are before the only nominees since william jennings bryan who had run before were al gore had run in george mcgovern ran briefly in adlai stevenson was nominated in both and and al smith had run at the convention in all of them as bryan the last successful democratic presidential aspirant who a was james stack up the current field by age and prior campaigns against past winning is the second strike against biden and they may have name and a background and but voters traditionally do not want those in nominating men even older than trump would throw away the ability to enthuse young who instinctively prefer youthfulness and a fresh since the democrats have lost elections in they ran a candidate who had run for president they ran a and they ran a candidate who was and had run age is also a strike against and even the candidates closer to the historical sweet spot are and the ones right in the heartland are abrams and beto best fits the at turns soulful and a guy who was in a band and has been known to skateboard on the one who inspires all the swoony press also suggests that democrats will look past their early some primary campaigns have a dominating and some do dominating win almost all the time in both although the two most prominent counterexamples come from youth rebellions on the democratic victory over hillary and lyndon withdrawal after a challenge by eugene at the five modern democratic primaries without a dominating only one in was won easily by a figure who started at the front of the mcgovern in while not a a fresher face than candidates hubert humphrey and george and he successfully cast himself as the alternative to the early muskie was eight years older than mcgovern and had been in public office for primary so far looks more like the other three races with democrats out of in and all were won by nate silver looked at the poll averages from to for this point in the race to july of the year before the and found that the winners were often far off the polling in single digits in the middle or rear of the pack and unknown to half or more of the national polls and polls in iowa and new hampshire show half or more of the voters preferring biden or but that is unsurprising given their high name even candidates like who is barely registering in can take hope from the trajectory of bill clinton in that polls showing that harris has pulled ahead of warren in new hampshire where warren is already a senator from a neighboring state have to be worrying to complicating factor for a candidate is the compressed time frame of the primary it may be harder now to build from a slow start than it was when mcgovern got his first win in the fourth or bill clinton in the but because democrats unlike republicans distribute delegates proportionally and have no it is not as easy for competitive candidates to be mathematically all but eliminated by the first week of anger the next lane that we should expect to matter a lot in the primaries is less easily the voters of the party out of power are always driven to some extent by and doubly so when running against an can play out in unpredictable republicans in passed on the candidates who were the most caustically critical of barack obama as ted marco and bobby in part because donald belligerent demeanor and willingness to with personal attacks as birth certificate bill sexual made him feel like the candidate most viscerally embodying by jimmy carter in and george bush in both channeled anger at predecessors not by direct criticisms both of them unlike some of their but by aspirational appeals to honesty and dignity in the which doubled as veiled john kerry as visibly worked up as howard but he gave democrats the chance to attack george lack of war service by building his campaign around own vietnam today are as angry as any party in one the latest national poll finds percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump has ever committed anything that might be considered a serious percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump himself did anything illegal in his dealings with russian officials before the percent of democrats believe that tampered with vote tallies in order to get donald trump elected percent of democrats believe that hacked the email of democrats in order to increase the chance that donald trump would win the presidential percent of democrats believe that of illegal votes were cast in the percent of democrats believe that trump will get us into a only is this an electorate that thinks the president is a criminal who stole the an electorate that is willing to believe conspiracy theories with no evidence tampering with vote in order to justify that july quinnipiac poll found that percent of democrats think trump is and democratic low opinion extends to members of the other party in a november monkey online poll found that percent of democrats described republicans as percent said percent said and percent said david french wrote more about polls of this nature appeals to bipartisan bonhomie and upbeat rhetoric will play very badly in this joe biden recently referred to mike pence as decent our vice which in normal conditions would not be considered after the inevitable storm of criticism on biden telling actress cynthia i was making a point in a foreign policy that under normal circumstances a vice president be given a silent reaction on the world but there is nothing decent about being and that includes the vice joe biden february pounced on the saying to a reporter who think the vice president is a decent when asked she saw anyone in the trump admin as offer any it was a rattled off the indictments from mueller rpt cabinet added is the most corrupt administration in living need to trump in performative displays of uncompromising anger and soundbites plays best to the strengths of harris and while booker and gillibrand have worked assiduously to play on that both give off a powerful vibe of trying too hard when they do booker in particular is plainly more at home being sunny and for democratic partisans looking for a gillibrand is still struggling to live down ill will from her role in pushing al franken out of the there may even be uncomfortable questions about the fact that and mcauliffe all raised money from the trump some of them in the the other if democratic voters are looking to trump with an in the way that carter and george bush cast themselves as the and that could play to the strengths of biden can invoke the obama booker he drops the spartacus or the publicly ideology political observers tend to see the in a primary mainly in terms of issues and bernie ran hard against hillary as too and obama ran against her on the iraq just as mcgovern had run an uncompromising as we have other factors better explain the dynamics of many past democratic polls paint a divergent picture of the democratic on the one many democrats tell pollsters that they are moderates who want the party to run a moderate just because they are angry at donald trump mean they are suddenly eager to as a recent nbc street journal poll of the electorate as a whole found that percent of voters are enthusiastic about or comfortable with an percent with a white and percent with a but only percent with a candidate over age and percent with a this is not good news for bernie candidates such as and who frame themselves as the mainstream main street can benefit from the other when individual issues are democratic voters are increasingly willing to embrace suggesting that their enthusiasm for centrism is more about their than about the message they want to hear from the an increasing number of younger voters genuinely believe the apocalyptic rhetoric of climate change ending life on earth in the near and at least one candidate has promised to make this his central bold positions on the issues can grab the attention of party who are more engaged early in the as well as young voters who value a transformative as a the competition to show or socialist bona fides will be already seen multiple major contenders floating stances that would have been viewed as marginal in years banning private health legalizing marijuana and banning all free reparations for packing the supreme court by expanding it to as many as guaranteed income for people unwilling to abolishing border barriers and border and the green new with its utopian aspirations to eliminate air and of the candidates yet seem immune to this headlong but as the field some of them will likely take up the challenge of criticizing each proposals as unworkable and impossible to the candidates with longer records in office could find themselves facing a backlash for past stances that are now seen by younger democrats not only as wrong but as positively immoral or biden has the biggest problem with but booker is still viewed with suspicion for his advocacy of school gillibrand for a whole host of issues on which she has from her blue dog days as an upstate new york sanders on guns and and even harris and klobuchar for their track records as record as an abusive boss is also out of step with the way many democrats see their values in general and their contrast with trump in the advantage may end up lying with the candidates with the vaguest who will be most able to adjust to where they think the voters will the midwest question the final question is as much one of strategy as of popular but it could make a difference in how voters and opinion leaders see their final are democratic voters worried about white voters in the the biggest surprise of was not trump winning obama states that had been won twice by george bush and or states that had returned to the republican fold for mitt romney carolina and but his victories in and second congressional those in states without significant hispanic populations and with only modest were driven by strength among white who offset the white suburban voters that trump drove or were in for trump got fewer votes than mitt romney and paul ryan and won the state entirely on the strength of depressed democratic turnout for hillary especially after relatively strong republican midterm showings in florida and the remaining midwestern states look like the weakest link of should democrats try to win those white voters should they be worried about holding onto the more moderate suburbanites who flocked to their banner in and are three schools of of is that republican routs across the midwest in the combined with low approval rating in many of those means they are already in the if that is trump is as good as and democrats can look past the election in choosing their this is probably a poor way to think but there is something to be said for the idea that primary voters are terrible judges of and should just vote their second school of thought is that white voters are a lost especially in the midwest and and the future lies in turning out more nonwhite voters and targeting five and north there is some basis in recent and not just in two for thinking that nonwhite voter turnout for democrats is likely to be helped significantly when nonwhite candidates are on the in percent of all democratic candidates for senator or governor were and the results for the party were not as there are for all the scorn heaped by liberal commentators on the white working class since the rise of and all the hype around demographic white voters in were still the largest demographic component of the democratic progressive democrats did show in that they could turn out a lot more voters in the states but other than kyrsten narrow victory in the arizona senate democrats still lost most of the statewide contests in the states even in proponents of this school of thought are likely to lean most heavily toward or third school of thought is that generation and nonwhite voters may be the future of the democratic but the electoral map in still requires democrats to win back more white voters without compromising their gains among moderate suburbanites clearly the thinking behind the announcement that the democratic convention will be in but with the economic populism of or with the methodical of with the backslapping of with a governor such as sherrod brown was seen as a major player in this as a democrat who won easily in ohio in but a approach would seem to favor biden or than caucuses in iowa and home state of the midwest does not start voting until march when ohio and michigan hold wisconsin and pennsylvania are in indiana in voters in the rest of the country are likely to have decided a lot about the shape of the field by highway if you have read this you can probably guess that i think the dynamics of point toward kamala harris as the most likely democratic with cory booker as her major obstacle but beto and amy klobuchar as the rivals she should most harris has the demographic advantage of her race and not old or she speaks to democratic desire for someone who can take on donald trump on his own emotional and willing to stake out dramatic harris is the candidate most likely to fill multiple lanes at and only biden rivals her odds of putting the nomination away relatively combines youth and freshness with the unquantifiable of charismatic men who have taken the democratic nomination in the because his path forward relies so much on glamour and beto needs to worry less about any individual competitor than possibly booker or than about doing well enough early to project an image that this makes his campaign strategically similar to that of marco who specialized in winning voters in the early primaries but fizzled out badly once he fell far enough behind that he no longer looked like a had to absorb heavy negative ad targeting from a candidate with the biggest war chest in the field competition from a candidate with a strikingly similar ideological and demographic profile and a kamikaze attack on the debate stage the first two of at will not be problems for but running on being the new thing means there is always a threat that one of the unknowns could become the even newer and there is already a boomlet among some commentators for pete relies on some of the same calculus as with the added possibility of competing directly with harris for but also perhaps the hardest candidate in the field to other than the obvious early biden and booker is the candidate who is an obstacle to the most other in contrast to harris and can position herself as the midwestern alternative to a democratic party that has become overly reliant on the coasts and needs to reassure suburbanites and win back heartland her path forward improves substantially if biden chooses not to and if she can squeeze gillibrand out the last three candidates remaining in the race will most likely include either or one of sanders or and either biden or two candidates who seem least likely to catch fire are warren and both of whom would have ranked a lot higher two or three years warren now looks very much like a candidate who missed her shot and should have run in when she fit the populist whether the problem is her her her stumbles in the controversy over her claim to native american or continuing hold on the voters she needs and the message she she will have to make a strong showing in new hampshire to avoid being run off gillibrand may look strong on paper like she could benefit from the same gender politics that help harris and but her ideological is emblematic of her general air of and a very long wait in the primary calendar for her new york base to come into all democrats might still pick a white male in his late biden is too and to write him off just and sanders still has an army in the field from own for of the likeliest kamala harris beto joe biden amy klobuchar cory booker bernie sanders elizabeth warren kirsten gillibrand

needed to and of using cutting edge methods to get them to the they helped boost turnout in the key swing state of ohio from percent of the electorate in to percent in yet just four years when donald trump won a surprise victory in the presidential the storyline somewhat predictably emerged that his technology team had created a manhattan project for targeting voters on in the ensuing two progressives have lamented that democrats now lag behind republicans in using data and digital tools to win the truth usually lies somewhere in the according to political consultants and analysts who have worked in social media for yet there does appear to be some indication that democrats failed to capitalize on some of early successes president barack obama waves after his victory speech in

advocacy who has previously said that progressives are behind in this crucial to point out that facebook engagement is one part of a much larger universe of digital tools and tactics that campaigns can and even in this there is nuance and complexity that makes it hard to conclude that one campaign did than the what is clear is that clinton and trump had different goals on the and where critics can question strategic a facebook white paper said that trump outspent clinton on facebook million to though former clinton campaign aides dispute they were and the trump campaign and rnc created more ad variations than through which they tested voter responses to their one white paper by a facebook executive reported the ad variation disparity to be million for trump to for but a bloomberg article weeks before the election reported the gap to be much smaller but nonetheless at for those numbers do show a heavier investment in a certain type of the clinton says that the majority of money spent on facebook was to raise and that it invested more money in other types of fundraising that it says were more efficient and had a higher rate of and clinton did end up distributing more sponsored posts than trump on a facebook page promoting hillary clinton for president in mike more as for the ad people say they devoted much more energy than trump to figuring out how to persuade undecided voters on facebook to support the clinton argument is that they just speaking to people they knew were but that they were trying to find new voters on the that strategy may have been a strategic not a lot of evidence that when trying to change mind about who to vote for or whether to digital is a great platform on which to do said john a partner at clarity campaign a democratic analytics keegan digital advertising director for bernie sanders in told yahoo news that social media can be an effective part of a larger persuasion strategy if it is employed early in a campaign to help move the

of the because they were focused on avoiding mistakes rather than firing up politics on social goudiss requires candidates to be sharper edged and to be willing to talk about ideological meat is important if you want to get people interested and he politician with a jacket over their shoulder is not going to people going to buy facebook is good at confirming bias and reinforcing tribal this can also be described as by digital and rory a republican said that seem like were focused on community of hillary clinton was perhaps not the most inspirational figure for an online and the trump campaign also used facebook to aim ads at potential clinton supporters in order to discourage them from even going so far as to tell reporters they were mounting major voter suppression some of it

the previous having helped build reach through the bannon was before he joined the trump vice president of cambridge the digital firm that was discovered after the election to have improperly acquired personal data on facebook of million and helped the trump campaign target those for much of the past few on the other democrats were underestimating said kelly vingelis of revolution the digital firm that worked with belief is they have not given facebook enough credit in the past because just a place where people go to share pictures of their baby or their but where people go for hours a day to get online news or engage with online vingelis said in an no matter their are heavily invested in so democrats have underestimated that and need to catch think facebook has always been considered a relevant platform but not the hot platform for advertising because a belief you can reach people on other platforms in the same which is not she the election was a call that democrats overlook vingelis is the platform for reaching people and having a she are starting to use facebook more and use it for engaging in encouraged by but we still have a long way to donald trump speaks in the spin room after a republican candidate debate in las vegas in patrick via getty more but hagner cautioned against overhasty conclusions from one presidential lot of progressives are seizing on the fact that trump spent a lot on digital and and thinking they won because of and they assume the solution for dems is to copy the old trope that winning campaigns did everything right and losing campaigns did everything he on data and hagner democrats are still as good if not better than especially since republicans continue to see campaign voter contact results being split between the database and the list built by the koch in the team famously used facebook to target friends of it was part of an overall strategy of empowering supporters to build local communities to mobilize for but after vingelis changed from being a social media network to being an advertising in facebook lost some of its appeal as a cool or platform as the user base skewed older and more conservative over a few things contributed to a in democratic performance after while republicans were on catching up for four years after democrats had a certain amount of apathy about remaining some think the departure of much of top talent into the private sector played a and focus on building up organizing for america rather than the democratic national committee led to what some including clinton herself thought was a decline in the this is likely part of why democratic candidates at the local level have not benefitted from the innovations that went on in leaving a void that groups like tech for campaigns are now

conference the day after the matt washington post via getty more another big critique of democratic campaigns is that they are not spending enough money on digital because too many democratic operatives and consultants are either stuck in the past and think tv is the dominant or because they have a vested financial interest in continuing to garner the big fees that come with television debate has existed on the republican side for years as tv can still be influential in a race where voters know much about the candidates or the unlike in a presidential when the candidates are well known by most voters and are defined more by the daily news cycle than by paid in older demographics vote more and many of these voters still watch a lot of in federal and statewide tv can still play

attorney randol who had famously won the case forcing the austrian government to return a valuable painting by gustav klimt to the jewish family from whom it had been stolen by the nazis the story that was the basis of the film in schoenberg has developed an expertise in tracing family together he and eshman followed side max was on his back to wolf lieb glotzer and his that couple arrived from

the maternal of stephen article laid out the concluding that demonstrates that in truly anything is the of a desperate refugee can grow up to shill for the demagogue bent on keeping desperate refugees like his eshman went on to and then what has become the most familiar objection to these different you forebears came here it is an argument that megan a former chief family historian and spokesperson for and a regular contributor to the tv series do you think you hears a easy she it ignores with the glaring exception of the chinese exclusion which banned all immigration from that country once its workers were no longer needed to build all immigration was legal in america for its first so almost everyone who came during those centuries came here legally until the early all people needed to do to move here was walk off a ship and prove they were basically sane and free of obvious communicable had existing and proposed rules been in effect back smolenyak a high percentage of the ancestors of

seems not to have known that his grandfather had lied during his naturalization process but was permitted citizenship until smolenyak found his naturalization most interesting to smolenyak is that this research so you have to go very far she many of the people who are virulently are children or grandchildren or of we should have to work a lot harder for these but there they on the easiest she originally expected that such views would be held by people whose stories go further back on the american but former presidential candidate mike huckabee and his white house press secretary sarah whose roots begin in the are the of the rest of the time you think going to have to really dig in and go very far you she are the children and grandchildren of immigrants so eager to keep immigrants the desire to make that point point out to people who are being needlessly mean and spreading misinformation that they are conveniently forgetting their own which in turn means forgetting our national that keeps smolenyak and others in this when miller said earlier this year that favor immigrants who speak mendelsohn responded with evidence that four years after arrived in the in she was still

worst dregs of our aba whose teen daughter catherine blount was killed in execution is a premeditated murder do that in my and definitely do that in other critics say his move undermines the will of california the governor defended his decision a very emotional place that i this is about who i am as a human this is about what i can or cannot to this is the right thing to no death row inmates will be and newsom said he has met with dozens of the all i can say is we owe and we need to do more and do but we cannot advance the death penalty in an effort to try to soften the blow of what along with the newsom said he is considering commuting death sentences the governor needs state supreme court approval to pardon or commute the sentence of anyone twice convicted of a a restriction that applies to more than half of condemned fellow democratic lawmakers introduced an amendment to repeal the death a move that could put the issue on the while the governor has constitutional power to grant opponents could mount a legal challenge to his and a future governor could reverse the newsom faces backlash from some groups and the issue is politically with california voters supporting capital

board cheering progressives should remember death row is filled with not the they received only passing mention from the governor after he announced his reprieve quite this is a weakness in the progressive movement the inability to acknowledge that some convicted death row inmates really are some really did commit heinous some really worthy of sanctification for the purposes of making penalty marcos sacramento bee newsom is acting against california law of the article within the california constitution holds that governor shall see that the law is faithfully by issuing his newsom is flatly refusing to do and in so doing he is engaging in precisely the sort of legal political and rank contempt for democracy about which we are all supposed to be so irrespective of their views on the death those who cherish separation of powers and the rule of law should refuse to applaud this charles national review and undermining the will of the voters the people have reserved a portion of the legislative power to themselves by direct what we refer to as the initiative the people have voted on the capital punishment question times since every time they voted to expand or expedite the death people of california already have considered the death penalty arguments and rejected the governor should respect their decision and respect kent san francisco chronicle moratorium follows as declaration jumps around congressional newsom has jumped around legislative in some ways action is even more immoral than newsom has just overruled the judicial will of separate an intrinsic principle of american governance is the insulation of the judiciary from executive newsom has just shredded that indiscriminately commuting hundreds of tom washington examiner newsom is doing the right thing and the rest of the nation should every this is the right choice for california strategically and newsom has a history of stepping bravely ahead of public opinion when the right thing to the national

doing the just thing by pulling that moment san francisco chronicle editorial board a governor announcing he will not enforce specific aspects of certain laws leads us into uncomfortable territory but

affected by the trump latest action were brought to the united states as children sometimes infants and are often not familiar with their home culture or they often even know they are undocumented

willing to attend college or enlist in the he said congressional inaction forced his administration to take action to protect them from related immigrants and advocates rally in support of daca target

public statement since leaving obama said that values are at as trump moved forward with his travel here is the complete obama statement as posted on his facebook page can be a controversial we all want secure borders and a dynamic and people of goodwill can have legitimate disagreements about how to fix our immigration system so that everybody plays by the but not what the action that the white house took today is this is about young people who grew up in america kids who study in our young adults who are starting patriots who pledge allegiance to our these dreamers are americans in their in

brought you here as a if been here a certain number of and if willing to go to college or serve in our then get a chance to stay and earn your and for years while i was i asked congress to send me such a that bill never and because it made no sense to expel patriotic young people from the only country they know solely because of the actions of their my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young so that they could continue to contribute to our communities and our we did so based on the legal principle of prosecutorial deployed by democratic and republican presidents because our immigration enforcement agencies have limited and it makes sense to focus those resources on those who come illegally to this country to do us deportations of criminals went some young people stepped met rigorous and went through background and america grew stronger as a but that shadow has been cast over some of our best and brightest young people once to target these young people is wrong because they have done nothing it is because they want to start new staff our serve in our and otherwise contribute to the country we and it is what if our science or our friendly neighbor turns out to be a where are we supposed to send to a country she know or with a language she may not even be the action taken today required a political and a moral whatever concerns or complaints americans may have about immigration in we threaten the future of this group of young people who are here through no fault of their who pose no who are not taking away anything from the

by those suggested that they and i join my voice with the majority of americans who hope they step up and do it with a sense of moral urgency that matches the urgency these young people this is about basic this is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of or whether we treat them the way want our own kids to be about who we are as a people and who we want to what makes us american is not a question of what we look or where our names come or the way we what makes us american is our fidelity to a set of ideals that all of us are created that all of us deserve the

came that memory has surfaced periodically over the past few months as the trump nomination has gone from unimaginable to i kept it mostly to myself for nearly all of that even as i wrote about relationships with the women who worked with and for him over the and even as my article concluded to my own frankly that trump had a record of promoting women to jobs within his organization and of treating them better or just like he treated the in i think perhaps i should have disclosed that encounter when the story was but at the i thought of it as just one data this when the new york times ran its story about similar memories of dozens of other i posted a brief recap of my own experience on my facebook my point my single encounter was part of a by the next that times story had come under fire because the woman in its lead anecdote said been and i came to see my own encounter as one bit of pushback against twitter claims that everything in the times article was ancient or a what then does behavior in and out of the workplace mean for this start with the indisputable fact that trump objectifies not sure why we are even debating that it is clear that looks matter to him and that his own virility is important to his sense of who he this was evident well before the times story from years of trump commenting on which women were a and which ones were hot enough for him to sleep from years of insults about everyone from rosie to carly from his own reassurances on the campaign trail that his genitalia were of acceptable and it is also undeniably true that trump has proudly employed women in positions of power over the back in i wrote about the triumvirate of women who ran major pieces of the trump organization in the and of his boasts back then that he gave women authority in an industry that did his pride extends forward to the where he claims there are more women in executive positions in his company today than continue reading so how to reconcile the the trump who objectifies and the trump that the man himself might lean toward scott quip that the test of a intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to but scholars would point out that fitzgerald was likely being glib and meant exactly the more the disconnect probably reveals that like most of the rest of is a contradiction and a he and he also there are tinges of sexism in the stories of how he championed women at work such as the time he refused to be seen dining alone with an female business associate and asked a one to join the and hints of feminism in his leering his clear pride in the business savvy of his even while noting if she my perhaps i would be dating so is this mashup of mindsets relevant to suitability as of it the argument to the contrary which comes down to everyone from jack kennedy to bill clinton is other leaders have had problems with and that perhaps the best evidence of how deeply it mattered how serial predatory behavior particularly stained the clinton legacy and his ability to govern is the fact that trump keeps bringing it the way he does so an approach to bad behavior around women has a few weak two clear wrongs make anything bill clinton is not running for times have what bill clinton did was clearly unacceptable at the but it is even less acceptable an ironic legacy of his trump clearly recognizes the power of the changed lens and the effectiveness of labeling hillary which looked like that of a hurt wife back then as and things look different decades what makes past actions fair fodder for current is that he has not changed his lens on in real i found his smirking pass to be a little smarmy and not something i ever mentioned to anyone but my husband because it felt a bit like my i was still proving myself in the still macho world of the new york and i was pretty sure this sort of thing happen to my male but i would not have labeled it predatory or harassing because those words were not in my contemporaneous i believe admit i know for that i would have responded differently called him out for his certainly spread the story back at the i suspect what happened with rowanne brewer lane her experience was included in the lede anecdote in the sunday new york times story about how she visited in how trump suggested she don a swimsuit and join him by the then offered a selection of bikinis and paraded her around in one that is a stunning trump she has since said she feel or by and trump has used that to call the entire story a but brewer lane has not disputed the that a man she barely knew told her to put on a bikini and then showed her that she says she mind at the time mean he had the right to act that all it means is that in the context of the she realize which raises the eternal question of whether we can hold actions of the past to standards of the politicians regularly do so when it is the old sins of their opponents are while their own are merely a reflection of the the only real should be and a leader has who has recognized wrong and who has stayed pretty much the when past actions reveal continuity and predict future they are fair and when those ongoing attitudes give permission to others to voice their own misogynistic views the comments sections of articles about rowanne brewer lane from the past few days the comments on this article for then it becomes our obligation to speak trump did not answer my query to his office asking whether he remembered our interaction years but late he sent out a tweet that journalist claims that i a at her years never like the story which has become a assured us on this that her father is a that with his wife assurance to dujour magazine a day earlier that her husband is not hitler highlights rather than mitigates the we have a presumptive presidential nominee whose loved ones are now defending him by assuring us not guilty of actual way with women is they because

comic books used to feature a character named who looked exactly like the man of except for his features and the fact that everything about him was reversed whereas superman could burn things with his the lumbering bizarro could freeze while vision handle could penetrate only you get the the image that kept popping into my head this week as i watched republicans hurtle their way toward an overhaul of the health care in a what republican leaders are frantically trying to push through congress is the bizarro health care plan a mirror image of the law it would patched together from spare parts and castoff they now seem bent on making exactly the same mistakes democrats did in but in exactly the inverse at about this time eight years i was hanging around capitol hill and the white putting together a preview of the looming health care fight for the new york times piece holds up pretty i but judge for the pivotal democrat on the hill then was max the montana senator and later president ambassador to china who chaired the senate finance like baucus thought health care providers and politicians who had once opposed reform could now be persuaded to support as long as the plan promised to get soaring costs and federal spending under and baucus told me that any new law had to have at least some measure of bipartisan even if that required painful because no piece of massive social legislation had ever been perfect from the and in order to preserve and fix you needed at least a few members of the minority to be invested in its a transformational law of this baucus would be if one party decided to enact it the problem for baucus was that most especially in the care at all about corporate competitiveness and public they cared about bringing down the number of poorer americans who afford and they open to painful fiscal choices in order to get that so while obama and his congressional allies sold their plan to industry and the public as an economically necessary reform that would the cost the law they ultimately passed was really more a wealth transfer program that birthed new regulations and taxes in exchange for expanded coverage for the poor and some protections a program very much in the tradition of the great the most difficult decisions involving public spending were pushed off years into the for some other group of politicians to worry and of as it turned democrats ended up passing the law along strictly partisan using a budgetary gimmick known as to help it this their to be they really given a whole lot of but what all of this practically is that baucus was right the law was probably politically unsustainable from the what came to be known as was wildly successful in reducing the number of uninsured americans by more than but the public saw little of the economic benefit it was in health care costs have risen more slowly than they might have democrats make necessary fixes in the sprawling because no one on the republican side had any interest in seeing the law jump ahead now to where congressional republicans are this week with their american health care act which is precisely the version of where democrats were eight years whereas democrats took a bill that was principally about expanding health care and dressed it up as an economic republicans are taking a plan almost entirely about economics and pretending it has something to do with health they may advertise their bill as a solution to health care but in what republicans really care about right now is shedding the new revenue and spending in health care law specifically by repealing taxes and eliminating subsidies for the poor and the medicaid expansion in the president trump has promised that see rates go down and see plans go in distinctly trumpian that the new system will be thing of but the congressional budget which is led by a republican appointee and has a slightly better record than trump when it comes to estimates that the plan will cost million americans their health insurance while saving the government more than billion over the next this time not even a question of republicans have been plotting a legislative including a reconciliation measure of their to pass their plan without a single democratic vote although becoming increasingly unlikely that they will settle anytime soon on a plan that wins over both house conservatives and senate the problem especially if one of those moderates who actually care about governing and have to get elected statewide is that the bizarro health care bill be any more lasting than its before the public would figure out that the law going to do anything to make coverage more affordable or the choices more as but rather the the popular protections that republicans say keep are likely to become unworkable without mandates and mostly the bill would spare some small businesses and wealthier americans from paying additional taxes and cut back the medicaid the issue of what to do about the uninsured would roar back into the public and good luck trying to amend the bill in ways that would mitigate its harshest because democrats may well gain seats in the ensuing and not going to feel the slightest motivation to help clean up the in some republicans are in a more precarious position with the bizarro bill than democrats were in at managed to cobble together support from insurers and which muted some of the criticism when premiums started to trump and paul the house even tried to assemble a you have to that republicans are playing with something here that neither party has ever attempted on such a scale a rollback of benefits the public already one thing to ram through a program with lots of subsidies and new rights an untested proposition to unilaterally take that stuff what we do with a policy area as complicated as this and as reliant on theories about how the markets and consumers will respond to various never going to pass one law and be done with responsible governing in washington if we can still conceive of such a thing means being able and willing to reassess and adjust to reality as time goes democrats were never going to be able to do

as i had just reminded warren launched her heaviest torpedo yet against the trade alleging that some future president might use it as an excuse to undo the reregulation of wall street that obama signed into law in in as the white house quickly pointed language in the pact would expressly prevent that unless congress voted to allow three days after that when we sat down at headquarters outside obama still seemed unusually about the logic of he went notion that i had this massive fight with wall street to make sure that we repeat what happened in and then i sign a provision that would unravel have to be pretty obama is pure she and i both taught law and you one of the things you do as a law professor is you spin out and this is all obama he wanted me to in pointed that for all the talk about her populist warren had a personal brand she was trying to truth of the matter is that elizabeth you a politician like everybody he you got a voice that she wants to get out and i understand and on most she and i deeply on this her arguments stand the test of fact and this is remarkable stuff for all presidents are in a by the moments at which they come to public obama entered politics during bill when urban liberals were growing disgusted with the strategy of popularly interpreted as the idea that you can win broad support by picking fights with the ideologues in your own obama has always been reflexively averse to anything that might be construed as him pushing back against his friends to score political points with everyone throughout his obama has mostly avoided public feuds with what his first press robert liked to call the even when meant sidestepping important disagreements on democratic politicians and interest in have been cautious in their offering only muted resistance when obama stepped up the war in or when he nearly negotiated a deal that would have restructured but like a marriage in which the spouses pretend to be happier than they really polite alliance with the populist left appears to be suddenly crumbling under the weight of free the more warren and senate colleagues like bernie sanders and sherrod brown attack the proposed joined

manufacturing if the trade pact were this rather than choosing his words carefully to preserve party obama was pressing his had a conversation with all the labor leaders before this he told had a conversation with some of the more progressive members of congress and listened to their as i said generally their arguments are based on or fighting the trade deal that was passed years or years understand the emotions behind he told when you break down the logic of their got to say that not much there watch the full video with president for decades after the second world free like so much else at that was mostly a proxy for cold war if you were a country that wanted access to american all you had to do was take our side over the practically america had little to lose in this since no one else could make the kind of inexpensive cars or clothing that might threaten domestic when american business did so too did its workers that was the and it was by the europe and now years past the war that leveled were starting to export saabs and datsuns and anything else you could make on a modern assembly and american manufacturers were starting to look beyond oceans for cheaper rob a

nafta in have become a powerful symbol of political callousness to those americans on both ends of the political spectrum who have lived through and that symbolism is most central in the fight obama has taken elizabeth warren of massachusetts has been one of the fiercest critics of the proposed trade pact with asian susan warren and other critics of the asian trade pact have seized on a series of complaints in their efforts to stop congress from giving obama which would enable him to put the final deal before congress on an without endless by the would be the first president in decades to be denied that authority and by lawmakers in his own no some of these complaints are more persuasive than opponents have charged that the deal is being negotiated secretly and without their points out that anyone with access to the internet will have days to scrutinize the deal before he even signs it and sends it on to which would then begin its own period of so not like anyone is going to wake up and find that congress just sold the lincoln memorial to behind the matt bai interviews barack obama they see the deal as too protective of multinational like the way it extends patents for pharmaceutical or the way it allows corporations with complaints to bring their disputes to special rather than to the makes the point that america is party to such agreements already and has never been successfully furious that the deal would do nothing to end currency which contributes to hurtful trade argues that including the currency issue in this trade rather than pursuing it might expose our own federal reserve to lawsuits from other to claims that more free trade more job obama has vowed about twice every it seems that the partnership will have the most stringent labor and environmental standards of any trade deal in he says it will generate an extra billion in american exports along with billion more in economic at expressed frustration with critics of the toni images assignment for yahoo mostly going on is that frustrated liberals see in the asian trade deal an opportunity to draw the line on no one thinks this deal is going to be the ruin of american when all is said and what they think is that there has to be a moment when industry loses and the country finally turns its attention to the things you can do for like raising the minimum wage more than reasonable and relaxing rules that make organizing more taking a stand against the trade pact is really just a way of taking a stand against years of policies that favored business over everyone and this is what so frustrates to the point where he would come to make his stand at the headquarters of a company reviled by almost as a as his detractors have often pointed is a study in analysis and professorial whatever his gift of his real passion is for the triumph of reason over so you can see how it would annoy obama no end that no matter how many mitigating facts and figures he throws at the opponents in his own their determination to sink the deal only what they really it seems to a better trade but rather a time machine that can transport us all back to the moment before globalization obama assured me that right there with his party when it comes to making the case for a higher minimum wage or limiting the compensation of corporate executives all part of the national conversation about inequality and how to address are going to have to concentrate on getting our own act together to make sure that workers are getting a bigger share of corporate he not going to shrink the overall economic pie just because mad about some things that have happened in the the trade deal represents a rare and probably final opportunity for obama to accomplish something toni images assignment for yahoo i mentioned to obama that i had just watched his speech to nike and i was struck by how much fun he seemed to be many in his party have often called him a reluctant campaigner for their and yet there was nothing reluctant in his demeanor as he mocked his arguments and trumpeted the prospects for oregon wine and beef in foreign he seemed oddly of obama that if a reluctant done pretty good at fair but then he i believe strongly in then i enjoy fighting for and i believe in obama went through some of the other things he believed in and for which campaigned more than including equal pay for women and paid sick leave for think that different and why this is getting more he that there are allies of mine who are so that makes it and i think also attracting attention is the fact that we might actually get this that last part struck me as most significant in understanding why obama is willing to risk alliances for a trade deal that probably seems tangential to most although he would never put it this his second term has mostly been an exercise in he announced months ago that he had essentially given up on trying to legislate and would try to govern around the margins using executive actions that stretch the boundaries of presidential power and probably stand up over his prospects for passing any kind of larger agenda went from slim to nearly nonexistent last when he got a republican senate to go along with an obstreperous republican and with a chaotic presidential campaign about to start in any real governing from here on out will be purely the trade represents a rare and probably final opportunity for obama to accomplish something and something in which deeply a lot of republican free traders will actually support no matter how distasteful they find the idea of standing on the same side as the some democrats too the question is how if obama get authority through he have much chance at negotiating a final but if he then he might well be able to claim one major legislative victory and the only one in his presidency with bipartisan and not only but a victory that gets back to the promise inherent in his first presidential campaign the promise to adapt american liberalism to the economic realities of the without simply bowing before capital or raging against to a president eyeing his that kind of victory is

announced his retirement days before the could dems therefore take a page from the gop playbook and block whomever trump as mcconnell did at the time that american deserve to have voice in this when

halt for lack of a quorum and democrats could conceivably delay a confirmation vote until a new perhaps with a narrow democratic is seated next asked to confirm that democrats could use the quorum rule to block supreme court nominee koger tells yahoo news the answer is assuming that the word in the constitution means not and that the vice president to make a the fact that democrats can shut down the mean they would be a confrontational koger is probably too gentle a word for obstructing a supreme court pick by completely shutting down the senate would require political winds that were blowing strongly in senate not clear they for one democratic senators are running for reelection in states that trump won in and heidi heitkamp of north joe manchin of west and joe donnelly of indiana all voted to confirm would every one of these senators be willing to imperil their reelection chances by striking over next democrats afford a single then the fact that the argument mcconnell made in is different than the argument democrats would have to make back mcconnell was employing the existing filibuster rules to block a nomination made in a presidential election his rationale was that the president is the person with the power to put forward such a nomination and a new one would be elected so the senate might as well democrats would have to circumvent the existing filibuster rules to block a nomination made in a midterm election they might argue that midterms determine control of the and that the senate is the body with the power to confirm such a but voters will likely find that argument even less compelling than especially because obama himself nominated elena kagan in a midterm year and republicans chose not filibuster her trump will nominate replacement as soon as on the president told reporters the process would begin immediately mcconnell will push for a confirmation vote before election will vote to confirm justice successor this he vowed most democrats will decry this maneuvering as absolute height of as senate minority leader chuck schumer put it shortly after kennedy announced his are just months away from determining the senators who should vote to confirm or reject the schumer said on the floor of the their voices deserve to be heard now as senator mcconnell thought that they deserved to be heard others will try to pressure imperiled gop senators such as dean heller and republicans like susan collins of maine and lisa murkowski of alaska to break with their party and torpedo the democratic party will make the midterms all about but despite these

is zero appetite for and there is an urgent need for the democratic candidate to win in said brian the professional tweeter who is also a senator from echoing the common sentiment that schultz would

the democratic nomination but her and then delivered the country into the hands of a covert russian dan a senior adviser in the obama accused schultz of creating headlines so he could sell his new because i guess what schultz needs is more first book event in a heckler help elect you egotistical billionaire liberal media got into the arguing that schultz was looking to a bygone time when americans were tired of partisan politics and still thought government could solve problems in a peaceable whereas we know now totally radicalized and happy as hell to scream at each other on twitter all day maybe we journalists are confusing american voters with i guess the lesson here is that liberals are all about breaking up big monopolies and rigged unless it happens to be the chokehold on never met howard and i have no idea if he has what it takes to run the i know he never managed to invent a cup lid that spurt searing coffee onto your hands when you tried to walk down the street with and naturally this fills me with but what else i know about he is one of very few people on the planet who actually had the vision to transform the way we believe it or before starbucks came meeting over afternoon coffee a thing in and then it schultz saw where the culture was headed that we would be more less bound to but also less connected to one another and figured out a way to get ahead of no one in politics is doing now schultz thinks americans might want the same kind of choice in their politics or a modicum of anyway that they have in their his judging from his early and somewhat shaky are sort of a medium he thinks undocumented immigrants should have a path to that health care and college should be but not free for that tax cuts are ok as long as not only for businesses and the that climate change is urgent and global alliances all of this seems well within the mainstream of american attitudes right if not within the mainstream of a democratic primary electorate already being wooed with talk of tax rates and the elimination of all private health so would candidacy really ensure i know and i promise neither does anyone michael who considered an independent run last time says he bowed out because the data showed he would only serve to split the democratic vote and elect a a risk i refused to run in and we afford to run it he said in response to possible except as you might have trump managed to win the election you bloomberg apparently thinks a street billionaire who once championed policing policies as mayor has a shot at winning the democratic so maybe not the tree you go barking at for political the fact is that viability as a candidate would depend largely on factors we yet like whom the democrats and how firmly republican voters stand by and whether trump draws an internal challenge or even ends up running at and if anyone thinks data from some other election cycle can predict this then they been paying very close attention to our there any data to suggest that trump could win a republican let alone the white the old models are as you might has been doing his own pretty extensive his advisers tell me that a candidate fitting description a highly hypothetical way to absent an actual person or actual opponents would start out within the margin of error of leading a or close to that in totaling electoral if anywhere near then no reason to automatically assume schultz becomes a rather than a viable candidate in his own but really shocking that all these democrats in washington worry about schultz costing them the that anyone would actually still listen to i these the same people who told us hillary clinton was the only democratic candidate who could win in when it turned out she was actually the only candidate who could have managed to the same people who told joe biden he had to stand and who told contributors they give money to anyone and who rigged the debate schedule in order to keep the path as clear as the very same people once clinton got the ran a telling anyone who would got we know what if looking for a read on which candidate can resonate or how an election will turn you might as well ask a magic at least it has the humility to predict maybe schultz be much of a he certainly project a ton of warmth or rhetorical maybe he goes ahead with this venture and finds out that campaigning for anything is a lot harder than it and that the answers to complex policy problems are generally some version of telling everybody something they bear to but if he does decide to have shown us something which is that got

these are the questions you hear all over washington right which is because normally you be idly speculating about the end of a presidency barely a month after the in parts of the country that voted overwhelmingly for the sense is just getting but the pervasive view in the capital is that president trump at this point is like a guy behind the wheel who slept in a surrounded by a small mountain of empty red bull cans as he weaves his way across four lanes at squinting to read the signs and ignoring the angry blasts of a straight drive home on a sparsely populated but at this what are the odds he makes it very far without hurting himself or someone some of this is just the lingering shock of the a lot of people in washington are still waking up every morning with a feeling of cannot be and from there a short jump to cannot go on for very but also the sense that trump himself has skipped right over the opening and middle stages of a normal presidency legislative midterms and reelection and leaped straight into the slog of year already he spends half his time golfing in florida and the other half watching cable while hostile nations brazenly test the boundaries of this new united states of the president labels the media enemy of the american as if planning to storm the network studios and replace their programming with endless if all of this frighten some wide swath of then bound to exhaust so reasonable to ponder the fate of the trump just weeks into the grand trump could get his act together any day dedicate himself to learning the if this were a he might have this moment of epiphany at a soup kitchen somewhere when he realizes the nation is depending on him to be a bigger and instantly to three days when pored through a raft of presidential biographies and decided to fire his entire staff and start then if this were a it might also be called siberian and it might end with trump trying to hold off ben affleck and a unit of elite rangers with an on the steps of the lincoln shouting epithets in either seems equally plausible to democrats have their own wishful scenario which involves but absent some cataclysmic revelation that trump agreed to hand over all of ukraine to the russians in exchange for turning the kremlin into the most most elegant resort ever seen in your you hard to imagine a republican congress evicting a president who remains a folk hero to its you can more easily see how trump might talk his administration into total if he decides to stay on the current erratic and if his approval ratings keep sinking in search of a a lot of governing republicans will run from him as fast as they and find himself isolated and unable to achieve much of down that path lies an almost certain primary opponent probably a marco rubio or a john kasich and the very real possibility that trump would walk away in order to at least give mike pence a fighting chance to succeed leaving all these possible outcomes aside for the the one that seems most likely to me is probably also the most the presidency going to change who trump but he may very well end up changing the way we think about the and not so very far into the two things are going to the first is that trump is going to realize that a white house really run this way the president at war with the aides at war with each fictions at war with someone needs to get control of the and hopefully before an economic or international crisis comes along to make the dysfunction even clearer than it the second is that trump is going to decide he actually like the job very much or at least not the part of the job all about policy and vote counts and other things you have to think about for more than seconds without changing the subject to and the moment when who knows nothing if not how to bail out failing business will bow to the protestations of establishment republicans and retool his bring in a chief of staff who knows something about governing maybe a chris christie or a haley or perhaps a member of his like nikki the fringe ideologues and campaign aides will be relegated to the where they the details of republican government will be directed by the conventional power centers of an empowered chief of mitch mcconnell in the senate and paul ryan in the house assists from veteran strategists like newt gingrich and some legislation will modest deals will be all of which will leave trump to do what he most enjoys and does build the hold fire off outrageous commandeer the press pop up on late night convene and he will be the central character in our national but a supporting actor at best in our and if and this is what ultimately then trump will succeed in redefining the presidency in our time perhaps more defining it we will come to regard him as a forceful the outrageous star of the highly rated presidential a born performer expertly playing a role for our which is pretty much how he started out maybe this is what we in an era when politics and entertainment have become so deeply intertwined and so hard to from here on the president is destined to become more like a asked to form a government and to preside over but not necessarily to manage

make everybody tommie michael thomas for yahoo more as the anniversary yahoo news went to ferguson to find out how death has changed the city and the people involved in and how the case has cast a long shadow over relations between the police and minority communities in cities around the some like the former police tom who was dismissed in the wake of the and former attorney general eric whose department issued a scathing report on the state of criminal justice and race relations in ferguson were eager to share their like police officer darren who did the or friend dorian who saw it happen and whose provocative account of brown kneeling on the ground with his hands in the air when he was killed triggered the weeks of protests that followed refused to talk or be dramatic images from the ferguson protests what we found was a city still traumatized by its turn in the national but hopeful that new police leadership will heal its wounds and a nation that has reluctantly been forced to come to grips with a problem it thought had been resolved a pierson is hardly the only person to interpret those first few hours after the shooting as a warning to the rest of the community a fact that still bothers a horrible thing to said what a horrible thing to jackson says that while he now regrets leaving the body outside for so the delay was because the crime scene investigation team was busy dealing with a hostage crisis an hour away from he it might have been better to some get whatever angles we can collect whatever evidence we can and just get the body out of there in a volatile situation like then he no you take your we have this you snatch and and then covering something that anyone in ferguson the town called home since age when his father moved the family from massachusetts for an engineering job at emerson electric could believe that he would do something so hateful is among the things jackson has struggled to understand for the last three former ferguson police chief tom michael thomas for yahoo more heartbreaking to think something in their history or background or experience that jackson trailed shaking his lot of people think the past few years have been hard on under intense media and public scrutiny as this quiet town of was besieged by riots and reporters from around the and after the justice department published a scathing report accusing his police department of a number of biased patterns and jackson succumbed to pressure to resign in march among the findings of the doj report were that ferguson police and courts systematically discriminated against targeting them for traffic stops and arrests and piling on exorbitant fees and fines for missed ticket payments and court been said who has grown a white beard that matches his formerly blond your reputation gets just trashed like that i i had a local reputation but then now i had a national one and it was not though still visibly shaken by the shooting and jackson seems relatively at ease on the patio of bar a local law enforcement where greeted warmly by both the staff and his former who stop by to shake his hand or give him a people protest the police shooting death of michael brown in charlie more remember one local reporter came out to interview me early and he knew that i was sort of a liberal kind of guy for a jackson lowering his voice as he glanced toward the restaurant where several officers were eating lunch the new bull the reporter told referring to former commissioner of public a staunch enforcer of segregation who infamously battled civil rights marchers with attack dogs and fire how can that jackson can people say that about in an effort to repair the damage to both his and jackson has written a book called policing in which he attempts to discredit the findings of the doj investigation and provide insight into some of his own controversial got granddaughters that are gonna be learning about this in high school some before he was just one side of the the ferguson side of the story the ferguson that existed before out this was going if this kind of oppression was going somebody told he of jackson has plenty of reasons to want to shed the albatross been forced to carry for the past three years including that considering a run for public police officers arrest a demonstrator in joe more but as steadfast as he is in his belief that both he and the city of ferguson have been portrayed unfairly by the national he also seems genuinely bewildered by much of what happened after he first got the call that one of his officers was involved in a fatal shooting on canfield he still wonders at how many people in ferguson and around the country quickly accepted that a densely populated on a hot august day at noon with people that there was a kid standing in the street with his hands in the and the officer just callously pumped lead into him until he was there were dozens of witnesses to the fatal encounter between darren wilson and michael but the one who is for better or with spreading the account that quickly garnered so much outrage was dorian who told various media outlets that brown was on the ground with his hands in the air when wilson as the investigation proceeded to version of events would be picked contradicted and eventually deemed but by had already become a rallying cry for brown supporters and protesters of police violence jackson believes the deck was stacked against wilson and the ferguson police department from the minute account began to spread across social the impression it created was reinforced by refusal for six days to identify the officer then releasing the name along with footage from earlier that day allegedly showing brown stealing a package of cigarillos from a nearby convenience new documentary raises the possibility that brown stealing from the store but trying to collect on a debt owed by one of the to that incident implied that brown

it is they expect from regardless of he printing out a recent example of daily emails moss sends every usually featuring a personal story or anecdote that illustrates his philosophy on moss said that part of his vision for ferguson is to have of my police officers carrying a a baseball or frisbee or something like and when they see a bunch of kids out get out and play with but in the fallout from the police force has shrunk to leaving little time for bonding opportunities with local though moss think about being the first police chief as much as other people he deny that his own experiences with law enforcement as a young black man have shaped his approach to the officers are very powerful people in that the only profession that on a exercises more power than the president of the united he the stroke of a you can take away change the course of their and determine what jobs they can realize what that power is because been trained on he being is very among the other finalists for former office was frank previously the police chief in neighboring who assisted in the regional police response during the riots in he get the but six days into his mccall was brought in to serve as the ferguson police community liaison still feel that i got something and that i could contribute something he told yahoo police stand guard before the mandatory midnight curfew in ferguson scott more as a mccall is less polished than but he speaks about some of the realities of policing with a candidness rarely displayed by law enforcement a firm believer that you do not your you with your mccall think years people were more concerned with policing a when he first started at the berkeley police department back in the early mccall said that in the climate of those years there was an unwritten rule that officers shake hands with the public or give out their first somebody they got in he a new i understand mccall adding that he still he may no longer go by but now mccall is playing a key role in the implementation of the consent acting as the direct link between the police department and the community where the divisions in ferguson unearthed by the michael brown shooting are perhaps most overtly as a requirement of consent decree with the the neighborhood policing steering committee was created as a forum for members of the community to have a say in new hiring procedures and various other aspects of the reform though described in the decree as a and broadly representative set of members of the ferguson among most glaring issues on display at the most recent npsc meeting last month was that a majority of the or so people in attendance a for the monthly gatherings were ferguson is more than feel like we should be reaching out to more people that live in said tiffani a longtime ferguson resident and local activist who has grown increasingly frustrated with the told yahoo me kind of disempowering the black community if their input is not being where and how the group should focus its outreach efforts is just one source of contention among npsc who spent much of last meeting arguing over things like whether to make decisions by consensus or a how and when they would determine which method to use at one what was the actual tiffani reliford expresses her opinion on the city proposed amendments to the proposed consent carolina louis public more by the time mccall and an attorney with the doj corralled the group to approve via consensus a draft of the police new hiring one man had stormed out in frustration and several others had threatened to stop mccall said he worries that the dysfunction might ultimately prevent them from playing a meaningful role in reforming criminal justice would be a shame when in a position to be a part of something that can really set the mode for the communities that have had similar he the only difference is that the problems here just became they exist throughout this but they became public but moss argues a method to the madness even if its members realize of all of this is an exercise in healing for the he may have been a problem but it the only prior to the most of those people would never have been in a room together having those for the biggest challenge since the protests ended has been trying to convince the people who marched against the police to get involved in the political in the community can do a lot for themselves if they just if they learn that they he have to learn you can make a you can change this thing through means other than but slow learning he evidenced by the reelection this april of white mayor james knowles his an city councilwoman named elle had her campaign headquarters at but he knew only way she won is you needed a heavy vote from those black wards where michael brown got demonstrators protest the killing of teenager michael brown outside greater mark family church in scott more he convinced themselves that their vote count and that if they cast nothing will change for pierson said he tries to change that perception through both his weekly sermon and his own political involvement which is why he decided last year to run for lieutenant even as he a slave no has ever won a statewide election in missouri in its young people need to get used to seeing somebody like them he more and more are looking so what has to got to pave the way for next he plans to run for mayor of bellefontaine a nearby municipality where he i preach change and then do something myself in my own he michael brown was gunned down two days before his parents had planned to drop him off at vatterott a school where he hoped to learn heating and air conditioning this lezley who dropped out of high school at to care for her newborn finally received her diploma alongside younger deja in the past three mcspadden has gone from working behind the deli counter at a gourmet grocery store in suburban to appearing on stage at the democratic national convention

steps have included writing a and starting a nonprofit in her name that creates programs promoting a range of including criminal justice reform and health education in frustrated with the way the system handled her mcspadden said considering running for office to try to change the system to prevent other families from going through the same a makeshift memorial near the spot where michael brown was shot in scott more son get justice the way he should she time something like this i look at the at the at the mother and i feel like i just gave my seat up to the next tired of seeing after a grand jury decided not to indict wilson for killing their mcspadden and michael brown filed a wrongful death lawsuit against jackson and the city of this the city agreed to pay the parents million to settle the used to believe that if every time they shot a black man in the if they had to pay a million be less black men being shot in the the benjamin told yahoo not i found that theory hold up because the money is paid by the nothing happens to the police officer who did the killing or the police crump became nationally known in as the lawyer for the parents of trayvon he has handled lawsuits for the families of other victims of police but is losing faith in the came to the because none of these police officers are going to nobody feels that any consequence for killing an unarmed person of he rattling off whole rash of new names that have become since michael such as philando castile alton sterling walter scott tamir rice laquan mcdonald the list goes on and crump said he applauds the young people continued to speak out against police even after the protests in ferguson the only thing that give me hope is the fact that we remaining he crediting technology and social media with helping to raise awareness and change the conversation around police it was the police word against the black person but with the advent of we get to see it for he you do something or at least you say you because you saw it with your own edward crawford returns a tear gas container shot by tactical police officers in robert louis via zuma more one subject that comes up over and over in ferguson is the suspicious deaths of a number of young men who were prominent in the protests after the most on may was edward who became a symbol of the tensions in ferguson when a local photographer caught him tossing a smoking canister back at police say crawford was in the back seat of a car with two women when he shot himself in the last another prominent ferguson darren was found

night a grand jury decided not to indict darren there have been no arrests in the deaths of seals or but to many in the black the circumstances suggest a sinister talk around the street is that the

failed to address many of the major challenges facing such a massive insurance overhaul see above and that this was a strategic misstep by its major union the california nurses single payer bill

the substantial powers of the federal to go after those who do not support his ryan said friday that he had spoken with trump about and found the businessman and reality tv personality responsive to his but many conservatives sympathetic to ryan believe that assurances are because trump has repeatedly shown a tendency to backtrack on his own ryan boosters expressed bafflement over the timing of

fall talking with our fellow citizens about these about these about these ryan if ryan is attempting to insulate his policy agenda and tie trump to then his endorsement of trump was also a concession to political ryan does not want to be blamed in any way for a trump because it would give oxygen to the forces that have created many political insiders of both parties see trump as a fool or or and

places in nursing homes and democratic leadership critics of the plan were quick to point out that it really a plan at all more like a collection of greatest hits like public infrastructure spending job retraining and monopoly busting but the more profound and more overlooked problem with this proclamation actually about its language or its more about the underlying which misreads in some fundamental way the core appeal of democrats are trying to do a couple of things with this new marketing one is to answer this question of what they actually want to aside from impeaching the in announcing the new chuck the senate minority lamented that many americans know what we stand before boldly after because nothing redefines a party in the public mind like a slogan unveiled by congressional leaders at a always worked the other and perhaps more urgent objective is to some of the populist fury simmering right now in the democratic before it overwhelms the party establishment in the same way that trump toppled leading schumer and his compatriots are trying to convincingly adopt the ethos of the politicians who appeal most to their activists namely bernie sanders and elizabeth worth taking a moment here to consider what being a populist party actually means in broadly populism is the practice of galvanizing the majority of the people against powerful and oppressive interests in the in the late century and well into the populism necessarily translated into an assault on this made the most powerful institutions in american life were ascendant which concentrated their collective energy on exploiting both workers and consumers for there was no central government to speak of back no balancing force on behalf of americans who part of the industrial or financial it took a series of populist leaders most notably the two roosevelts in the white house to shatter the grip of corporate trusts and establish an essential counterbalance in the public almost a century the meaning of populism is a little more a lot of americans remain deeply suspicious of banks and multinational especially those that move manufacturing a reliably strong current in our but we also depend on companies like walmart and target for affordable groceries and toys for our the and most ubiquitous companies in america now in oil or apple and amazon and you sense a lot of populist outrage over government bureaucracies have grown exponentially in both size and if you went out on the street anywhere in america and asked people what the most powerful institutions in american life are betting almost everyone would name washington in their top and not just powerful to a lot of not so much the taxes people which really all that onerous in most yelling about taxes is really just a way of voicing general the tsa guy barking at you in the or the woman at the dmv who rejected your or the county inspector who threatened to shut down your shop over some obscure the va

globalization and technological politicians have been telling people got this or that plan to reverse the they according to the latest data from the indispensable pew research about percent of americans are frustrated with the federal and only percent say they trust the government to do right most or all of the the partisan divides here shift from year to but the pervasive sentiment is remarkably at least among a lot of independent and less ideological is what trump tapped into last year with his silly red he mouthed a lot of platitudes about setting wall street straight then hired the top echelon of goldman sachs to work in his white but it was his indictment of government generally and the establishments of both parties that ultimately washed away the clintonian argument for faith in the governing what this means is that populism as a purely economic proposition the people versus their corporate overlords is too limiting a construct in modern any winning populist critique probably has to extend to the failures of the federal democrats like to hear they represent the party of and they fear that if they acknowledge its flaws or they will essentially be validating the conservative but not and you can be and still make the case for fundamental reform and as gary hart and bill clinton once just admitting what does the have to say about among the precious few new policy ideas democrats now propose is the creation of yet more government agencies to rein in corporate excess and unfair praising this proposal in the the liberal writer david dayen noted that new agencies with targeted missions was a hallmark of the new except this we have all the agencies we can handle and we trust them a whole lot to begin a party that believes more government will solve

are not normal many on the right think much of the comey coverage has been too since there as no proof of collusion between the trump campaign and the russian fallout is a media tempest in a feehery

finally got the fbi investigation into brett past for which been loudly clamoring these past few thanks to the affecting testimony from his chief accuser and the dramatic turnabout of a principled republican senator and president trump has actually managed to put aside his antipathy for federal law enforcement long enough to let the investigation play deferring to senate republicans generally and assuring the through his that it can expand the inquiry however it sees more than i would have so think that just this one we could all actually do something critical for the country mainly to get some clarity on all the charges and countercharges that were flying around the senate hearing room last with nothing less than a supreme court seat hanging in the balance without the whole thing devolving into some kind of public be because while the fbi is doing what supposed to which is to determine whether kavanaugh blatantly misled the judiciary committee on some key democrats and a news media have decided that the truest test of character is whether anyone anywhere ever saw him or whether he ever acted like a idiot in in case coming late to this let me just pause here to say that this is the third time in as many weeks that written about i already made the point that his lack of reflection and nuance when it came to all of this made him a dubious candidate for the and that republicans could find someone better nothing i saw at his combative appearance before the judiciary committee led me to think i found evident nostalgia for his prep school days to be a little cloying and creepy in a but an entirely separate matter from whether confirmable or and so is most of the other stuff that suddenly qualifies as news about why do we care if some guy who knew kavanaugh in his freshman year claims he drank too much and sometimes got and how does it matter to anyone if kavanaugh got into a bar fight in and threw ice at a or if he and his high school buddies once trashed a beach i stole a street sign once in high it make me a car i kavanaugh told the judiciary committee he a crazy party animal and never blacked so i guess the argument is that if he would shade the truth about his teenage then he would lie about anything up to and including sexual but just because he might mean he and we also have to at least acknowledge the fact that an awful lot of yale classmates are liberals who would love to deal a mortal blow to his and really not fair that any one of them can now get themselves on cnn to spout sinister recollections of his freshman happening this week is that the controversy around confirmation ordeal is starting to feel less like an extension of the moment and more like the john tower hearings of a former was president george pick for defense but his nomination got swept up in allegations of drinking and womanizing a vortex of innuendo propelled largely by the confluence of democrats looking for a scalp and conservatives who had never forgiven him for backing gerald ford over ronald reagan in tower became the first cabinet nominee from a new president ever voted down by the senate and an enduring symbol of how ugly and personally ruinous our politics had suddenly kavanaugh deserve that kind of he stands accused by a credible witness on the public record of having attacked and humiliated her as a young and if even partly then chillingly remorseless about if he knows or even if he know for a fact that it then allowing this christine blasey to be mocked and degraded all over and that would be but that and not his weekly beer or his having gotten tossed from a or even his obnoxious behavior toward senators on the committee at last hearing is the thing that would truly keep him from the thing that will cost him critical republican likely never going to know with certainty whether kavanaugh did what his accusers say he but a few things are both knowable and and hopefully the fbi is more focused on them than grandstanding democrats and cable hosts this question of what mark high school buddy and later a conservative told agents when they spoke to him ford puts judge in the room when the assault took which would be an absolutely crazy thing to do if she were lying about what she judge has said nothing publicly beyond denying that the attack took if he was any more equivocal than that with the fbi even just to allow that a party like the one she describes might have taken then much harder to dismiss her the case of chris whom kavanaugh calls for reasons we probably want to garrett was all over handwritten calendars from that and ford told the committee something very significant that she had dated garrett for a have to assume the fbi knocked on and if garrett admitted to having dated ford that then kavanaugh is almost certainly dissembling when he says he remember socializing with it would cast fatal doubt on everything else he these questions go right to the heart of integrity and his fitness to but by flying off in all directions to air stories about whether kavanaugh partied too much or threw an occasional hyperventilating critics in the press and the opposition party do something worse than trivialize the they risk making trump look right about their and kavanaugh look like a man deserving of they make it appear for all the world that the resistance to nomination is more about destroying his reputation than it is about making sure we put a liar worse a sexual aggressor on the most important court in the country for the rest of his for that kind of overreach is a pretty good

country and validated the messaging that he imposed on the campaign during its final trump brought prophecies of the apocalypse to red passing up the opportunity to run on positive economic news or appeals to a positive vision of the the president did talk about gdp growth and low unemployment at campaign but he has always said he never gets credit for and so he campaigned as if that were he was reportedly angered by an ad produced by his reelection campaign that touted the economy and showed a mother watching her daughter grow preferring a commercial that demonized immigrants by portraying them as violent that ad was deemed so racist that every tv network even fox news rejected he held rallies over the final five weeks and over the final two in large arenas and on airport where he talked about a migrant caravan passing from central american countries into mexico as if it were massed on the border despite a military assessment that only percent of the or so people in the caravan are expected to reach the and not for a few weeks from trump called the refugees an he floated conspiracy theories about democrats and billionaire george soros having something to do with the but offered no he described those in the caravan as dangerous and speculated that some might be terrorists from middle eastern which also contradicted the intelligence findings of the the unsubstantiated claims and accusations were so and so that trump overloaded the circuits of anyone trying to keep track of whether any of it was actually but appeal to his core supporters has always been centered on an and his message built on that president trump waves to supporters after being introduced at a campaign rally in cape on jeff more the theory here was that many of those who voted for trump in were nontraditional voters who might have if voted in a midterm they resembled the and voters that so often bolstered democratic candidates in presidential elections but failed to show up for a top republican source with knowledge of voter data held by the republican national committee told yahoo news that the number of trump voters who were nontraditional midterm voters had become an for key gop and that this voting bloc had become key in many contests republicans hoped to so message was a tool meant to activate voters who cared little for the intricacies of policy or governance and sometimes even but who would be eager to continue the movement that trump started in the bottom line for many of supporters was that the president stymied in their view by congress as he sought to build a wall across the entire southern border was doing anything rather than trump ordered military troops to portions of the border in and said that number could he also floated the idea of revoking birthright citizenship through executive something he has no power to the question was whether inflammatory approach would alienate road voters who lean conservative but like the answer was that in

kushner and donald trump got pulled into this whole mess with russia and the you hear as much from the trump bunch jared is busy negotiating peace in the middle which really even when the president seemed to sympathize with his jewish and daughter were oddly now moved on to a government administered by military council a powerful trio with oversight of all cabinet agencies and armed forces that the civilian president refers to as so you on our way from being zimbabwe or saudi arabia how badly can that this latest turn has done a lot to buoy the spirits of president liberal a generation of

military leaders had much success running other things political school cabinet the courage and brilliance they display in rising up through the armed forces seem to translate very maybe because the careers they spend in service to the public are also spent inside a kind of socialist with very little exposure to the more mundane trials of civilian no that a general should know the first thing about finance or domestic policy or we only like to pretend they since pretty much lost faith in everyone whose job it really if i told you i had a novel plan to partition wonder with good reason what i could possibly know about but when john kelly the chief of assumes responsibility for legislative strategy or tax like the guy in the ad who stayed at a holiday inn express last somehow we assume figure it even in foreign where generals are assumed to hold vast that may not translate into modern generals in nothing like the cold war cowboys we remember from iconic on killing commies and reducing villainous countries to more cerebral military leaders were schooled in the lessons of which taught them the value of cautious of staying within political of carrying out the policy set by others with maximum efficiency and minimal look at colin who was the most successful of recent military leaders in the political his stature was such that in he quite possibly could have become our first black president if not our first politically independent he will likely be remembered for having persuaded the world that iraq possessed weapons of mass the bush administration told powell to go out and make the because no one had more credibility in the country or the and whatever his personal agreed to complete the because what modern generals are supposed to i remember sitting in a pentagon briefing not long after speech to the united nations security listening to jay soon to become the commanding general and overseer in occupied talk about how simple it would be to make iraq great again after the been to iraq under saddam and that sound especially simple to garner later said we never should have gone to war there in the first but at the given a completely unreasonable he never considered the possibility that it be which brings us to the speech on afghanistan this in which he offered virtually no departure from the last two other than a new and entirely contradictory not or maybe what doing in at is following the same basic policy drift that now stretches across three because the generals were given a political objective years and going to see it through to the bitter they trained to acknowledge much less what follows from all this are two essential neither of which is very one is that while may well stand ably between us and some kind of lunacy in the world

answers questions during a debate with incumbent republican sam brownback at the kansas state fair in more take a minute to consider the most reckless or embarrassing thing ever think about that shameful moment or period in your life you choose not to revisit because it makes you and then ask should that moment be the measure of your the only thing anyone remembers about these are the questions some kansans might fairly ask themselves this after the coffeyville journal not making that revealed to the world that the democratic candidate for governor paul davis had once been caught in a strip club while police were raiding that happened back in the late when davis was unmarried and not running for now a dad and a state davis charged with a he was just doing things that were legal if not especially for those of us who write about politics for a all of this should provoke a different set of complicated such when does boneheaded private behavior become relevant to public and who gets to decide the media or the as it been wrestling with those questions for several years while working on a book about the moment in when politics and celebrity suddenly collided that was the year that reporters from the miami herald staked out gary hart the presumptive democratic nominee for president in and published an exposé about his supposed tryst with donna rice an aspiring for the first time ever in presidential campaign in a stark reversal from the eras of franklin roosevelt and john the fidelity to his wife became an story of the new satellite after only five days hart was forced to withdraw from the for those of you old enough to think you remember those events years let me just say the scandal did not actually begin with hart challenging reporters to a on that turns out to be something of an urban like kids whose heads explode from eating pop even the casual observer of american politics can reel off the names of promising politicians whose character that is inevitably the word that gets invoked has since been tarnished by scandals involving their private behavior or their marriages or some stupid comment muttered in earshot of a sometimes they sometimes they and though not often we get into a discussion about whether really illuminating anything about a or whether just trying to create the latest story with a stuck on the end of the answers here and those who would defend stories like this one make some compelling they will tell you that what matters the strip club or the drugs cops were looking for when they raided but rather a poor judgment and that politicians hold themselves out as honest people who will make good decisions on our and if acted immorally and made reckless choices that jeopardize their marriages or whether it was last week or last we ought to a lot of journalists will also make the egalitarian argument that not for them to decide which transgressions are relevant to a character and which ones up to the in other our job is to compile as exhaustive a dossier as we can on the men and women who would serve and your job is to decide whether fit for by whatever criteria you want to if you care that the guy was in a strip club years then go ahead and vote for him no harm i can see the logic in this but i have some real qualms about there are certainly cases where the hypocrisy is profound and impossible to i think of john the former presidential who went around calling for poor fathers to take responsibility for their children born out of even as he lied and refused to acknowledge his own that seemed pretty relevant to but more judgment and hypocrisy are the catchall concepts by which we rationalize any kind of meaningful or every one of us exercises poor we all most of try to be good people and yet fall short of our own standards on to say that a candidate has been caught doing something he might otherwise condemn is like saying that a candidate has been caught with a heartbeat or a it necessarily add up to and the idea that journalists exercise their own good judgment in weighing the value of information is kind of that what we all do every does every possible story make it into the coffeyville the most basic job of editors is to define and prioritize the only when it comes to the it seems to do some of us conveniently decide that our civic duty to if going to have a debate about the value of revelations like the ones involving hart and then we ought to at least be honest with ourselves and you about why we really do more often than we go after the private transgressions of politicians because experience tells us that you care about no matter how much you might protest the and no one wants to forfeit that kind of story to a in modern political going back to there really is no higher calling than to expose a flawed what gets lost in all of as the davis case is context maybe disconcerting that the governor was once found staring up at a stripper in a seedy strip club where cops were looking for fair but for most of american this notion of character reflected a much broader and more complex has davis ever taken a has he lied to his i know the but the totality of a integrity be defined by a single private if going to care about the strip then we have to care equally about the rest of and so do because the cost of predatory as frank bruni pointed out in last new york necessarily what happens to the paul davises of the the candidates we never what kind of successful innovator or courageous thinker wants to enter the arena if she knows that the few things

grilling will ever take place and could pave the way for an epic legal confrontation over the russian investigation that could eventually wind up before the supreme that is big takeaway of some criminal defense lawyers and others close to the white house after proposed questions which were presented last month to legal team were published monday night by the new york times trump called the leak of the questions the nature of the questions and the broad list of topics signal the perils trump would face in any interview with news reports in recent months have speculated that the special counsel was focusing his investigation on possible obstruction of justice in the firing of former fbi director james but the questions make it clear that mueller is interested in much what the president knew about the notorious june trump tower meeting his son and top campaign officials had with russian how much he was aware of efforts to broker a summit with russian president vladimir his business dealings in and whether he ever floated the idea of pardons to make sure some of his campaign underlings under these are very few lawyers who would not consider it legal malpractice to agree

just show former john dowd was completely justified by advising the president not to sit down for an the peril is too that being the the most likely outcome at this point is that trump refuses to submit to an according to wisenberg and the former white house mueller would then have the option of issuing a subpoena to require the if trump continues to resist on the grounds that as an officer of the executive have authority to require the president to do anything the battle over testimony would fall to the federal courts and almost to the supreme many legal scholars believe that the president would ultimately lose that based on the precedent set during watergate when the supreme court ruled that president nixon have the right to withhold white house tape recordings that were subpoenaed by then special prosecutor leon but not a slam and in either the president could some and take his chances that this supreme court might be more sympathetic to his claims of executive powers and said the former roll the the former adviser in the the questions prepared by mueller combined with some nuggets buried in last house intelligence committee report offer some intriguing clues into the progress and direction of the special here are a few of collusion is very much still on the much has already been made of proposed question to knowledge did you have of any outreach by your including by paul to russia about potential assistance to the the wording of the question suggests mueller may well be aware of such presumably informed by the cooperation he has received from former rick but other questions also point to additional evidence mueller has gathered on the collusion one of them appears to involve the effort by papadopoulos to broker a meeting during the campaign between trump and papadopoulos first floated the idea of such a summit directly to trump at a march meeting of the then newly appointed foreign policy advisory jeff sessions has testified he quickly shot the idea but as david corn and i first disclosed in our book the inside story of war on america and the election of donald papadopoulos secretly told prosecutors that trump gave him the green light to pursue the summit idea telling him he found the idea and then looked to sessions to follow george third from at a strategy session presided over by then candidate trump in march donald twitter account via more potential witness tampering is also under one of the more intriguing of proposed questions involve efforts by the president to communicate with his former national security adviser michael flynn after he was fired for lying to vice president mike pence about his contacts with russian ambassador sergey mueller wants to ask the efforts were made to reach out to flynn about seeking immunity or possible this question was likely prompted by a new york times report that trump lawyer dowd floated the idea of a pardon to but there may well be more to contacts with flynn after he left the white house than last yahoo news reported that flynn told friends that he had recently been in touch with the who urged him to as the russia investigation was closing in on who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi and is now cooperating with would presumably know exactly what the president communicated to and what he communicated to the including during the one largely overlooked nugget buried in the house intelligence committee report released last week was that the former defense intelligence committee chief and his son met with kislyak at the russian residence in december that was shortly before flynn flew off to moscow to attend the anniversary celebration of the russian government where he sat next to putin at it was the first hint that flynn had contact with kislyak prior to russian

expected to most rile the president include two relating to his attempts to build a trump tower in moscow the first hard sign that the special counsel is probing business one of the questions involves his communications with aras the billionaire russian oligarch who partnered with trump to stage the miss universe pageant in moscow in trump and agalarov signed a letter of intent to build a project

the former white house chief strategist would now travel the country recruiting insurgent gop candidates to challenge incumbent republican senators running for reelection in almost all of he promised

the personification of the gop for another term as senate majority within a few months he had given his blessing to at least seven candidates in mostly western and southern but then came special election in in which bannon went all in for accused child molester roy who became the first alabama republican to lose a statewide race to a democrat since that humiliation was followed last week by the publication of michael fire and fury in which bannon was quoted disparaging trump and his family at length republican senate candidate roy with steve bannon during a campaign event in in jonathan more trump promptly threw his former confidant under the golf bannon has nothing to do with me or my he he was he not only lost his he lost his within billionaire patrons robert mercer and his daughter rebekah said they were withdrawing their support and word began to spread that even job at breitbart was in reports soon surfaced that fledgling political citizens of the american had so far failed to build any infrastructure or secure any real suggesting that bannon was less influential than he liked to on trump insisted that he was done stumping for gop outsiders like moore see that the president adding that he did plan to campaign for by bannon had parted ways with breitbart news further diminishing the volume of his political megaphone and stripping away what influence he wielded for the candidates he had but the truth may be a little more complicated and all of the declared candidates that bannon considered part of his were already running before he endorsed them and all of them will continue campaigning without so while bannon may be an his candidates could continue to shape the republican season in strange and surprising a closer look at each of kelli ward arizona senate candidate kelli ward speaks at a campaign rally in scottsdale last ross more no candidate welcomed endorsement as enthusiastically as arizona republican kelli a osteopath and former state

bannon that whirlwind is kelli but since break with team has been distancing her from the embattled breitbart bannon is only one of many endorsements ward has campaign spokesman zachery henry said last week campaign strategy is do as donald trump would since launching her bid in late ward has unapologetically championed all of most controversial from the muslim ban to the border when the president visited phoenix in team walked the streets in bright yellow that read trump ward on the front and on the are sick and tired of the elected official who goes to and is not a representative of the ward told yahoo tired of the tired of paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and john mccain and jeff embracing the top campaign strategist was perfectly in keeping with but now look for ward to pretend bannon never existed and to hug trump even the question that could define her campaign and determine her fate is whether trump hugs her the president has been sympathetic when ward entered the she was mounting a primary challenge against junior senator and one of the most vocal trump at the trump tweeted that it was to ward against flake jeff mercer sent to and two former leaders signed on to run her the gop establishment which views ward as a loose cannon who could cost the party a precious senate seat in november began to fight in the senate leadership fund released an ad on the web that painted ward by the entire trump movement as out of touch with the worries about ward are she plagiarized a mitt romney she mocked john mccain as old and and after he was diagnosed with brain called on him to retire so she could take over his in she earned the nickname after hosting a town hall meeting to discuss a conspiracy theory a theory she says she believe that the trails of white condensation emanating from airplane engines are actually dangerous chemicals being dispersed by the she also ran against mccain in and wound up losing the gop primary by more than percentage yet the more flake antagonized the more republican support he lost back by the end of the his approval rating had plummeted to and early polls showed ward with a primary in flake announced that he would be retiring from the senate at the end of his as a a race that seemed fairly black and white incumbent insurgent suddenly became a lot less clear washington including some trump stepped up their search for an alternative to matt salmon passed up the arizona treasurer jeff dewit accepted a nasa post now the party seems to have settled on martha mcsally a former fighter pilot from tucson as its likeliest mcsally is more popular than flake and friendlier to trump she has voted with the president nearly percent of the time which exceeds even the figure of percent for flake and arizona politicos say she would stand a much better chance of defeating krysten the democratic which is where trump comes if the president refuses to weigh in on behalf or sides with mcconnell and endorses her more electable rival it will undermine whole r aison further complicating matters is the fact that former maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio announced tuesday that he will also be running in the harsh policies have made him a hero to the far and as the recipient of first presidential he will be competing for the same america voters that ward hoped to have all to ward is still popular with gop base she helped drive the hated flake from after all and she could still cause serious problems for mcsally and mcconnell in the but there are already signs that trump world is souring on in top strategist and press both abruptly quit the apologizing to first activists and the people of arizona for helping to legitimize her realized that work with was a they wrote in a cryptic deserve better will trump himself come to the same danny tarkanian danny tarkanian at the tarkanian basketball academy in las vegas in bill roll more in bannon huddled at capitol hill headquarters with danny the son of legendary university of las vegas basketball coach jerry tarkanian and a perennial nevada a month tarkanian had announced that he would be challenging incumbent republican dean who denounced trump during the campaign and torpedoed an early version of the obamacare repeal told me he supported me tarkanian claimed in a buzzfeed interview was nice to see a candidate that exceeds my so i took that as a very good with jeff flake declining to run for reelection and nevada trending blue hillary clinton defeated donald trump there in heller is by far the most vulnerable republican senator in the so he also is the only gop incumbent fending off credible challengers from both the right and the left which means the stakes of antics may be higher in nevada than anywhere and those stakes are likely to remain just as high regardless of whether bannon himself is a player in the strategy is to assault heller for being insufficiently and insufficiently especially when it comes to has seen a political advantage in attacking he has done tarkanian wrote in december the tide seems to be running against he has opposed it and pushed back against calls for pitch could resonate in the primary because has a heller has been on repeal and his standing in nevada has suffered as a result tarkanian is also correct when he notes that heller has waffled on declaring in that i vehemently oppose our nominee but sounding friendlier since the tarkanian entered the he has a closer now with the heller told the las vegas review journal last week dean with president trump during a white house meeting on health july michael more the from is that however accurate attacks may his presence in the primary will probably only make it harder for the gop to retain the latest independent polls give tarkanian the lead to heller will have to veer further to the right by touting his new chumminess with trump and his rediscovered distaste for but those are the very things that would weaken heller against democratic jacky a strong campaigner who has been heller since announcing her bid in on the other tarkanian he will face a rematch with rosen to whom he has already lost once in the battle for third congressional and that the only election tarkanian has in he has run for office five times and he has lost all five in tarkanian ran for state in he tried for secretary of in he sought the nomination to run against democratic harry but lost in a primary to sharron in he ran in fourth congressional ultimately losing to democratic steven who lost the seat himself two years and then in he lost to kind of a nevada republican strategist told buzzfeed last year oh him whatever expect a bitter the lesson tarkanian took from his loss to rosen in is that he go negative early or often this he has promised that if i go gonna go down in a bloody mess as for tarkanian bailed on him bannon chooses to support me in our effort to repeal and replace dean heller with someone who will truly have the i welcome his tarkanian said last week in a team heller and the senate leadership fund have pounced on the after tarkanian challenged heller to sign a replacement in the senate leadership fund quickly tweeted out a pledge of its own that featured a daily news headline about steve allegedly past above a blank line awaiting concern is that steve bannon has a long paper trail of controversial

steven law told usa heller spokesman keith schipper told politico that tarkanian and steve bannon are frauds whose only skill is losing elections and costing republicans even unlikely that bond with

in tom roll more stand with president trump and beat the washington patrick morrisey promised in his first campaign ad for the senate seat in west virginia now held by conservative democrat joe but

move to west virginia until and he lives in right on the border with his denise henry is a founding partner of one of the top lobbying firms in and has a residence in northern even more so than morrisey is not a typical bannon but he and rosendale are two of the most competitive candidates seeking to flip a democratic seat this and who thought moore was a to win in alabama a seemingly safe bet before he was accused of pursuing teenage girls while in his has always had a pragmatic streak that leads him to side with likely that mean morrisey lacks conservative he built a robust track record of fighting against federal regulation as west attorney general over the past five morrisey sued the obama administration over the affordable care and was part of different lawsuits against the obama environmental protection many of them having to do with regulations affecting the coal which employs about people in the morrissey also joined a group of state attorneys general last july in

million to a formed to back candidacy solutions for and uihlein has given more than million over the past three years to eight other political groups that have all endorsed nicholson as according to information compiled by the wisconsin democratic relative obscurity might work to his because his biography is not as straightforward as it before his emergence as a republican he was a national leader of college democrats from to he appeared on television during that time touting democratic talking and gave a speech at the democratic where he endorsed the position on nicholson has explained that becoming a father of three children and seeing innocent lives cut short during his two tours in iraq and afghanistan for which he received a bronze star changed his mind about and his shift from democrat to republican is part of his stump yet in a his opponents can be counted on to run ads featuring past positions and facing a formidable primary opponent in leah a state senator from wisconsin who has been an ally of scott walker through several years of political vukmir commands respect in the state republican and has her own public service having been a nurse for over two nicholson represented an interesting prospect for the and for bannon and the breitbart crew in since he could be a vehicle to subtly undermine house speaker paul ryan in his own nicholson has already criticized ryan in a private conversation that went with bannon vukmir has gone on the offensive as jenkins did in west saying nicholson should disavow a nicholson spokesman downplayed his affiliation with saying that he has broad and diverse coalition of supporters and endorsers and he is focused on talking about the issues that matter most to wisconsin in this the pressure is now on the crowd to

challenge other roger this but demise has greatly complicated those leaving mcdaniel in a state of mcdaniel has carried an message for and so he was a perfect fit for bannon and the breitbart but when bannon lost the backing of the mercers at some point this more mainstream candidates like morrisey and rosendale became something of a life raft for in private conversations with bannon began edging away from candidates like who has a history of troubling comments on race and the mercers have given mcdaniel with bannon unclear whether continue to give to even if they wicker is a far stronger candidate than the cochran was in spent much of raising money and building a political organization to run for and also made sure there was little daylight between himself and who remains popular in the the primary vote for his seat is in cochran is expected to retire amid reports of visible and mental if he had done so before the end of that would have triggered a special election within that would have been a perfect opportunity for who has a small but enthusiastic base he could mobilize in an but now that any cochran retirement will come in the special election to fill his seat through

their departures will only encourage future student i thought that the people that resigned from university of missouri were weak and ineffective i think they sent the absolutely wrong signal when they resigned so it just showed such grotesque weakness and that just sent a signal to go out and do whatever you want to and now going to see this problem all trump trump believe there was racism on campus in if he led the he said he would stand up to both the demands of the protesters and any discriminatory would have handled things first of i would have made sure there was no discrimination or any of that and i think there but i happened to look at the list of those demands were trump of those demands were absolutely not all but many of those were absolutely over the and to watch these two

age of can democrats turn orange county their first target is darrell issa andrew romano march democrats and republicans agree on much these but they do agree on one darrell is in since issa has represented the coastal suburbs of northern san diego and southern orange reliably congressional district has never really been much of an electoral issa won his first house election by percentage and for the next no challenger ever came within points of unseating until that last issa squared off against the most serious opponent of his retired marine doug to the democratic rookie nearly finishing a mere votes percentage points behind his entrenched republican california as a whole voted for hillary clinton by nearly percentage and district went for too nearly only other gop members represent districts that clinton of issa was reelected by the slimmest this makes as the new york times recently put the most vulnerable incumbent issa already positioning himself for a close contest in famous for what mother jones has called investigations into alleged democratic scandals involving the the gun sting gone awry known as operation fast and and among issa has been trying to project a more bipartisan air since his experience last he proposed one of the first concrete obamacare replacement plans he backed the idea of an independent investigation into president ties to russia days before attorney jeff sessions recused himself from the last despite a long history of he even joined the climate solutions and while issa has yet to hold a formal town hall with his he did buck the trend among his fellow republicans during last recess and spent impromptu minutes talking to protesters outside his vista office both the democratic party and the gop have taken in the democratic congressional campaign committee named issa as one of its top targets in a few weeks the national republican congressional committee added him to its patriot a special fundraising and campaign operation that helps endangered incumbents keep their even at this early clear that battle likely to be against who immediately announced that he wanted a rematch is shaping up as one of the most fascinating races of but the most fascinating thing about it may be the fact that issa there are actually four house republicans whose districts overlap with orange county and all of them rank among the top most vulnerable republicans in the for any student of american political this should come as something of a in the orange county was the heart of the conservative movement fueling the campaigns of barry goldwater ronald jerome author of the the transformation of american once called it most important place in the if looking at the rise of the only four democrats have carried orange county in a statewide race in the last defying increasingly leftward and the county voted for the gop candidate in every presidential election from to when mitt romney defeated barack obama locally by percentage but then came and with a shift toward the hope among dems is that the forces behind that sudden leftward lurch will trickle down to the congressional level in time for and that the challenges issa faces today will become the challenges his colleagues dana mimi walters and ed royce along with other suburban republicans nationwide face areas are going to be much more contested than ever says dan a former spokesman for the republicans pete wilson and john who currently runs the jesse unruh institute of politics at the university of southern county is no longer an ideologically safe space for so what are the forces pushing orange county other similar suburban to the left and do democrats actually have a chance of capitalizing on them in the first factor is in roughly latinos lived in orange county percent of the total as of that number had grown to more than million percent of the total some central orange county such as santa are almost entirely latino and latinos are expected to surpass whites as the largest group by in recent the local asian population has surged as the result is a region much more diverse and much more reliant on immigrants than it was in ronald at the same the white voters who still make up a plurality of orange electorate for the most a particular wealthier and more educated than only about percent of american households make more than a in orange that number is and while percent of americans have completed some college or in the the number is if you could isolate the who tend to cluster in its upscale coastal these percentages would almost certainly be which brings us to the second force at work donald in the registered republicans outnumbered democrats in orange county by percent to but since droves of former republicans have defected to the party shrinking the share of the electorate to about percent only percentage points more than the these largely largely largely and largely suburban voters used to be a source of strength for but in trump underperformed among white college and even lost college women to clinton by percentage combine that weakness with widespread unpopularity among latinos and other and you start to see why orange county flipped to trump was a particularly bad fit for its evolving wealthier enclaves vote in as high a margin for the republican candidate as they have in the admits orange county gop chairman fred the latino demographic been with us and the asian vote as some of that had to do with he just trump achieved tremendous success with white voters last but he get those voters for adds order to win over all those nascar he had to trade away a lot soccer this presents democrats with an issa was an early and vocal trump rohrabacher even more especially on issues relating to russia was once described as favorite and perhaps the richest member of has been called the house if the standing among latinos and white college grads continues to suffer the most recent pew research poll pegged approval rating with the latter group at a paltry with percent disapproving then issa could suffer as at least in the same goes for their colleagues in similar suburban as the new york times has noted most vulnerable republican incumbents among the or so most competitive seats tend to be in relatively metropolitan districts with hispanic for their orange county republicans are love the target says a all four of our house republicans won in a year that was a bad year for in the presidential they all won by strong except for mimi won by so did they all have permanent campaign headquarters and significant funds on and forget that is an when democratic turnout tends to and republicans tend to do love whitaker out here and waste your whitaker has a but as issa learned in the tide can quickly turn in a changing expectations can be right progressives throughout orange county seem flooding the phone protesting outside demanding town halls and even hosting their own the project indivisible has a strong presence in the area so much so that uc irvine sociologist david author of politics of social movements in recently predicted that county is really the front line where the future of is going to be but come election you beat something with and neither walters nor rohrabacher has faced a serious challenge in recent so the true test for democrats will be recruitment both in california and a military applegate proved in that a solid match for a region home to camp have changed in the he has said knew this was a marine i knew one thing the democrats never have tried is to run a and i know that in the if you say anything racist or out of times be disciplined for there are some early signs that other democrats may follow last for laguna beach businessman harley rouda became the second democrat to announce that he would be challenging rohrabacher in need new leadership that is willing to put country over and put service above said in a as the founder of the national real estate company real living and with a fundraising veteran of hillary for america on his team rouda has at least a chance of competing with the and a democratic source familiar with the congressional landscape tells yahoo news to expect more candidates to come forward in the months is definitely buzz in these the source feel going to get great whether rouda or

wave feminists and years after the supreme court ruled that sexual harassment was a form of workplace discrimination prohibited by the civil rights the legal system continues to struggle to provide justice for women who have been raped or otherwise sexually except in the most extreme special victims may have been inspired by the new york city sex crimes but the odds that a woman who has been sexually assaulted will ever see the inside of a courtroom are on half the drama is accused criminals being held to account by in real most sex crimes never make it before a judge or or even get to the point of an this fact complainants take on significant personal risks to their reputation and emotional with only a small chance that their accused attacker will be let alone convicted is among the reasons many women do not report sexual including to only one woman is known to have lodged a formal criminal complaint against weinstein before the recent just as one woman reported bill cosby to

sexual assault complaints made to police were never logged or the metropolitan police department contested the other major cities have suffered similar scandals over the poor performance of their police departments and prosecutors in addressing sex crimes in recent in new the inspector general released a report in concluding that only percent of sex crime complaints sent to five special

under her husband and tapping into his fundraising she never run for office or shown much enthusiasm for suggestions that she do the failure of hillary two campaigns stand as a reminder that presidential coalitions just be race and gender in a better identity politics would not be a major factor in choosing a and a reductive analysis of voters along racial lines would not explain much of our we do not live in that and the internal politics of the modern democratic party in particular are impossible to understand without starting with race and race and gender identities of the candidates have been front and center in many state and national democratic primaries since the election cycle saw female democrats win primaries in disproportionate a fact much touted by democrats and their many of the contenders and their supporters are not subtle about trumpeting the benefits of running a woman in pete the first openly gay we can best illustrate the role of race in particular by looking at the primary calendar and the and primary first what the democratic electorate will look exit polls are not available for every contest nor are they without their own but we have a primary exit poll from or both in of the democratic and they show an electorate that ranges from slightly to heavily and that varies widely from state to state in its racial in of those primary the democratic electorate was at least percent in some cases as high as percent with more nonwhite voters tend to be more heavily for a variety of depressing a rough estimate based on the demographics for the remaining states and delegates percent of the or percent of the majority needed to will be selected by primary contests where white voters are likely to be a i include california and new mexico in that despite exit polls showing those polls were taken over a decade and the demographics have continued to shifts are evident in states where exit polls are available for both and while you might have expected a larger turnout of voters in the primary due to the presence of barack obama on the the democratic electorate regularly featured more black voters and fewer white voters than in south for the electorate was percent white and percent black in percent white and percent black in by black women alone percent of the primary outnumbered all white voters in the south carolina in white voters declined from percent to that reflects overall trends within the especially in the south and white ancestral democrats died off or left the party in the obama while younger generations of democrats included more nonwhite campaigns also increased the registration and participation rates among voters in women remain the most reliably democratic of all voter and turnout among black women is now at least competitive with that of any other voter quite unlike turnout that has major implications for democratic in the next set of primary in which white voters are likely to be less than percent of all pushes the total to percent of the a large enough nonwhite vote to be decisive if nonwhite voters are unified while white voters are voters are hardly a of mexican immigrants living in california african americans living in rural and native hawaiians are quite different groups of the point here is simply that an awful lot of delegate selection will be done in states where nonwhite voters are a very large of the states that choose at least it is likely that five will have primary electorates and six will have electorates that are below percent while only two and will be above percent combination of voter demographics and voter mood is one reason that the white male candidates have been disproportionately hesitant to jump into this in the states where we have more specific white men were a quarter or less of democratic voters in south new and georgia in and california and new jersey in with and north carolina not far much does that matter to how the voters the dividing lines can be graphically illustrated by grouping the democratic contests by their winners in and contests won by both barack obama and bernie sanders against hillary clinton tended to be overwhelmingly white mainly smaller states with caucuses dominated by progressive activists or primaries with less overwhelmingly female is the democrats abroad notice wisconsin is on that there were nine states that hillary clinton lost in all three of her presidential races and eight of those were red states west of the the other was whose unique combination of green activists and voters never warmed to to the states that flipped from obama in to hillary in the states that decided both races a stark contrast appears to the every one of them except iowa had a significant black the clintons were always popular with and given the choice between hillary and they chose clinton in large given the choice between hillary and those voters went overwhelmingly for south carolina set the hillary beat bernie among voters after losing them to this was a recurring as andrew prokop at vox put obama won every primary in the eight states where more than percent of the population is and sometimes racked up huge margins in this dominance was because he won the votes of between and percent of black voters in each of these according to exit net over delegates from these eight states close to the margin of his pledged delegate lead when the primary season despite the ideological element of failed to the racial and by cost him the contests that hillary clinton won twice present a different these states on average had nearly as many hispanic voters as black voters have large immigrant and a lot more female voters compared with the bernie they also tended to be states with closed primaries rather than caucuses thus more democratic partisans than ideological pew estimated that hillary beat obama among hispanic and she continued that trend against the list includes many of the largest states as well as the last remnants of bill the picture is the handful of states that backed the loser both going from hillary to these were all with none of them closed to and all with a substantial number of the prototypically trumpy white voters virginia being the state where percent of the voters in preferred an incarcerated felon to renominating president does this all mean for the current the controversies of the trump and metoo era and the increasingly vocal nature of activism have made it common to hear prominent voices say openly that democrats need to run a candidate against trump who is not not or that could be particularly bad news for the two sanders and both very old white men who cut their political teeth in the very different world of the bernie has often struggled to connect to nonwhite voters and activists and has openly argued for a shift in emphasis from cultural to economic in line with the daily worker ethos of his for his has a trail of statements and positions on crime and as he was long the most ardent drug warrior in though he also has the residual glow of association with challenge for sanders in particular comes into view when you look at the primary calendar according to when each state first two iowa and new are both potentially strong territory for iowa is a new hampshire is an open primary in a state next door to his home and both are overwhelmingly white fact that has led to a lot of grumbling from progressive activists about their primacy on the bernie won new hampshire in and with a crowded he could win both without needing to get past to percent of the possible to win the nomination without winning either of those two states clinton did it in but nobody in either party since edmund muskie in has won both without winning the look ahead to march five weeks after new by that percent of the delegates will have been some percent of those delegates will be selected by not percent of the delegates through march will be chosen by states likely to have and another percent by states where white voters are likely to be below this is not bernie if he shown overwhelming strength in the first two going to find himself swimming against the matter in any crowded and the most obvious if democratic voters line up along race and gender is kamala the current field includes three white women kirsten and elizabeth one man one hispanic man who seems unlikely to be a and one woman of heritage who is something of a boutique abrams is the only potential entrant who a white and she probably leaves harris as the only woman in the if she can marginalize gabbard and drive booker off the field before south she could end up as both the only black candidate and the only woman of she and swalwell are also the only the largest state votes on super march a big change from its june position in the last two while some observers question where harris fits in ideological her ability to claim a distinctive lane while also claiming the most valuable geographic base seems likely to be much more that also drives her strategic nothing can be more important to harris than getting booker out of the race as early as history shows that race and gender identity matters to the lanes in a democratic primary in ways it would not in a republican for all the wedge issues his campaign in it would have been ridiculous for donald trump to argue that voters should support him just because he was white and there were eleven other candidates in the despite the overwhelmingly white republican chief competition came from the two hispanic candidates cruz and marco rubio got more votes between them in contested primaries and caucuses than trump and the lone african american in the ben was the only candidate to ever lead trump in the national poll if a issue that plays out more openly among not race or gender but as the divisive spats between mike huckabee and mitt romney age and familiarity a second way in which democratic voters behave differently from republican they are much more enamored with youth and fresh since republicans have nominated a candidate age or older election eight times in eleven including four of the six republican presidents elected in that by democrats have not elected a president aged or older since james buchanan in and have nominated only two candidates over since hillary clinton and john the average age of newly elected democratic presidents is and it drops to if you count only the seven elected since the civil also deviate from pronounced tendency to pick the in every republican nominee since had run for the job before except for george whose father had been president just eight years trump had not been a serious candidate but he had been nationally famous for over three ran in the primary in and had been publicly musing about running for are before the only nominees since william jennings bryan who had run before were al gore had run in george mcgovern ran briefly in adlai stevenson was nominated in both and and al smith had run at the convention in all of them as bryan the last successful democratic presidential aspirant who a was james stack up the current field by age and prior campaigns against past winning is the second strike against biden and they may have name and a background and but voters traditionally do not want those in nominating men even older than trump would throw away the ability to enthuse young who instinctively prefer youthfulness and a fresh since the democrats have lost elections in they ran a candidate who had run for president they ran a and they ran a candidate who was and had run age is also a strike against and even the candidates closer to the historical sweet spot are and the ones right in the heartland are abrams and beto best fits the at turns soulful and a guy who was in a band and has been known to skateboard on the one who inspires all the swoony press also suggests that democrats will look past their early some primary campaigns have a dominating and some do dominating win almost all the time in both although the two most prominent counterexamples come from youth rebellions on the democratic victory over hillary and lyndon withdrawal after a challenge by eugene at the five modern democratic primaries without a dominating only one in was won easily by a figure who started at the front of the mcgovern in while not a a fresher face than candidates hubert humphrey and george and he successfully cast himself as the alternative to the early muskie was eight years older than mcgovern and had been in public office for primary so far looks more like the other three races with democrats out of in and all were won by nate silver looked at the poll averages from to for this point in the race to july of the year before the and found that the winners were often far off the polling in single digits in the middle or rear of the pack and unknown to half or more of the national polls and polls in iowa and new hampshire show half or more of the voters preferring biden or but that is unsurprising given their high name even candidates like who is barely registering in can take hope from the trajectory of bill clinton in that polls showing that harris has pulled ahead of warren in new hampshire where warren is already a senator from a neighboring state have to be worrying to complicating factor for a candidate is the compressed time frame of the primary it may be harder now to build from a slow start than it was when mcgovern got his first win in the fourth or bill clinton in the but because democrats unlike republicans distribute delegates proportionally and have no it is not as easy for competitive candidates to be mathematically all but eliminated by the first week of anger the next lane that we should expect to matter a lot in the primaries is less easily the voters of the party out of power are always driven to some extent by and doubly so when running against an can play out in unpredictable republicans in passed on the candidates who were the most caustically critical of barack obama as ted marco and bobby in part because donald belligerent demeanor and willingness to with personal attacks as birth certificate bill sexual made him feel like the candidate most viscerally embodying by jimmy carter in and george bush in both channeled anger at predecessors not by direct criticisms both of them unlike some of their but by aspirational appeals to honesty and dignity in the which doubled as veiled john kerry as visibly worked up as howard but he gave democrats the chance to attack george lack of war service by building his campaign around own vietnam today are as angry as any party in one the latest national poll finds percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump has ever committed anything that might be considered a serious percent of democrats say yes when asked if trump himself did anything illegal in his dealings with russian officials before the percent of democrats believe that tampered with vote tallies in order to get donald trump elected percent of democrats believe that hacked the email of

percent of democrats described republicans as percent said percent said and percent said david french wrote more about polls of this nature appeals to bipartisan bonhomie and upbeat rhetoric will play very badly in this joe biden recently referred to mike pence as decent our vice which in normal conditions would not be considered after the inevitable storm of criticism on biden telling actress cynthia i was making a point in a foreign policy that under normal circumstances a vice president be given a silent reaction on the world but there is nothing decent about being and that includes the vice joe biden february pounced on the saying to a reporter who think the vice president is a decent when asked she saw anyone in the trump admin as offer any it was a rattled off the indictments from mueller rpt cabinet added is the most corrupt administration in living need to trump in performative displays of uncompromising anger and soundbites plays best to the strengths of harris and while booker and gillibrand have worked assiduously to play on that both give off a powerful vibe of trying too hard when they do booker in particular is plainly more at home being sunny and for democratic partisans looking for a gillibrand is still struggling to live down ill will from her role in pushing al franken out of the there may even be uncomfortable questions about the fact that and mcauliffe all raised money from the trump some of them in the the other if democratic voters are looking to trump with an in the way that carter and george bush cast themselves as the and that could play to the strengths of biden can invoke the obama booker he drops the spartacus or the publicly ideology political observers tend to see the in a primary mainly in terms of issues and bernie ran hard against hillary as too and obama ran against her on the iraq just as mcgovern had run an uncompromising as we have other factors better explain the dynamics of many past democratic polls paint a divergent picture of the democratic on the one many democrats tell pollsters that they are moderates who want the party to run a moderate just because they are angry at donald trump mean they are suddenly eager to as a recent nbc street journal poll of the electorate as a whole found that percent of voters are enthusiastic about or comfortable with an percent with a white and percent with a but only percent with a candidate over age and percent with a this is not good news for bernie candidates such as and who frame themselves as the mainstream main street can benefit from the other when individual issues are democratic voters are increasingly willing to embrace suggesting that their enthusiasm for centrism is more about their than about the message they want to hear from the an increasing number of younger voters genuinely believe the apocalyptic rhetoric of climate change ending life on earth in the near and at least one candidate has promised to make this his central bold positions on the issues can grab the attention of party who are more engaged early in the as well as young voters who value a transformative as a the competition to show or socialist bona fides will be already seen multiple major contenders floating stances that would have been viewed as marginal in years banning private health legalizing marijuana and banning all free reparations for packing the supreme court by expanding it to as many as guaranteed income for people unwilling to abolishing border barriers and border and the green new with its utopian aspirations to eliminate air and of the candidates yet seem immune to this headlong but as the field some of them will likely take up the challenge of criticizing each proposals as unworkable and impossible to the candidates with longer records in office could find themselves facing a backlash for past stances that are now seen by younger democrats not only as wrong but as positively immoral or biden has the biggest problem with but booker is still viewed with suspicion for his advocacy of school gillibrand for a whole host of issues on which she has from her blue dog days as an upstate new york sanders on guns and and even harris and klobuchar for their track records as record as an abusive boss is also out of step with the way many democrats see their values in general and their contrast with trump in the advantage may end up lying with the candidates with the vaguest who will be most able to adjust to where they think the voters will the midwest question the final question is as much one of strategy as of popular but it could make a difference in how voters and opinion leaders see their final are democratic voters worried about white voters in the the biggest surprise of was not trump winning obama states that had been won twice by george bush and or states that had returned to the republican fold for mitt romney carolina and but his victories in and second congressional those in states without significant hispanic populations and with only modest were driven by strength among white who offset the white suburban voters that trump drove or were in for trump got fewer votes than mitt romney and paul ryan and won the state entirely on the strength of depressed democratic turnout for hillary especially after relatively strong republican midterm showings in florida and the remaining midwestern states look like the weakest link of should democrats try to win those white voters should they be worried about holding onto the more moderate suburbanites who flocked to their banner in and are three schools of of is that republican routs across the midwest in the combined with low approval rating in many of those means they are already in the if that is trump is as good as and democrats can look past the election in choosing their this is probably a poor way to think but there is something to be said for the idea that primary voters are terrible judges of and should just vote their second school of thought is that white voters are a lost especially in the midwest and and the future lies in turning out more nonwhite voters and targeting five and north there is some basis in recent and not just in two for thinking that nonwhite voter turnout for democrats is likely to be helped significantly when nonwhite candidates are on the in percent of all democratic candidates for senator or governor were and the results for the party were not as there are for all the scorn heaped by liberal commentators on the white working class since the rise of and all the hype around demographic white voters in were still the largest demographic component of the democratic progressive democrats did show in that they could turn out a lot more voters in the states but other than kyrsten narrow victory in the arizona senate democrats still lost most of the statewide contests in the states even in proponents of this school of thought are likely to lean most heavily toward or third school of thought is that generation and nonwhite voters may be the future of the democratic but the electoral map in still requires democrats to win back more white voters without compromising their gains among moderate suburbanites clearly the thinking behind the announcement that the democratic convention will be in but with the economic populism of or with the methodical of with the backslapping of with a governor such as sherrod brown was seen as a major player in this as a democrat who won easily in ohio in but a approach would seem to favor biden or than caucuses in iowa and home state of the midwest does not start voting until march when ohio and michigan hold wisconsin and pennsylvania are in indiana in voters in the rest of the country are likely to have decided a lot about the shape of the field by highway if you have read this you can probably guess that i think the dynamics of point toward kamala harris as the most likely democratic with cory booker as her major obstacle but beto and amy klobuchar as the rivals she should most harris has the demographic advantage of her race and not old or she speaks to democratic desire for someone who can take on donald trump on his own emotional and willing to stake out dramatic harris is the candidate most likely to fill multiple lanes at and only biden rivals her odds of putting the nomination away relatively combines youth and freshness with the unquantifiable of charismatic men who have taken the democratic nomination in the because his path forward relies so much on glamour and beto needs to worry less about any individual competitor than possibly booker or than about doing well enough early to project an image that this makes his campaign strategically similar to that of marco who specialized in winning voters in the early primaries but fizzled out badly once he fell far enough behind that he no longer looked like a had to absorb heavy negative ad targeting from a candidate with the biggest war chest in the field competition from a candidate with a strikingly similar ideological and demographic profile and a kamikaze attack on the debate stage the first two of at will not be problems for but running on being the new thing means there is always a threat that one of the unknowns could become the even newer and there is already a boomlet among some commentators for pete relies on some of the same calculus as with the added possibility of competing directly with harris for but also perhaps the hardest candidate in the field to other than the obvious early biden and booker is the candidate who is an obstacle to the most other in contrast to harris and can position herself as the midwestern alternative to a democratic party that has become overly reliant on the coasts and needs to reassure suburbanites and win back heartland her path forward improves substantially if biden chooses not to and if she can squeeze gillibrand out the last three candidates remaining in the race will most likely include either or one of sanders or and either biden or two candidates who seem least likely to catch fire are warren and both of whom would have ranked a lot higher two or three years warren now looks very much like a candidate who missed her shot and should have run in when she fit the populist whether the problem is her her her stumbles in the controversy over her claim to native american or continuing hold on the voters she needs and the message she she will have to make a strong showing in new hampshire to avoid being run off gillibrand may look strong on paper like she could benefit from the same gender politics that help harris and but her ideological is emblematic of her general air of and a very long wait in the primary calendar for her new york base to come into all democrats might still pick a white male in his late biden is too and to write him off just and sanders still has an army in the field from own for of the likeliest kamala harris beto joe biden amy

be tested in several places on from congressional east of san where republican duncan hunter was indicted earlier this year for allegedly misspending more than in campaign to new between buffalo and where republican chris collins was indicted on charges of insider duncan hunter and chris gregory scott more but by far the best case study will be new heated senate the reason is in california and

to bolster yet in recent weeks the polling gap between menendez and hugin has grown three of the four latest nonpartisan polls show the incumbent clearing the crucial and his average lead had doubled to nearly percentage the data journalists at fivethirtyeight currently give menendez a percent chance of victory according to monmouth patrick the most respected political pollster in new there are two reasons why menendez is pulling the first is that for most of the had the field to a retired marine and the chairman and former ceo of a global biotech hugin spent a staggering through the third quarter of all while giving his own campaign an even more staggering at the same who has raised about million to husbanded his resources for much of the summer and barely even essex county legislator rolando speaks with hugin before a press conference announcing that bobadilla was dropping his democratic party affiliation and endorsing on in julio more last year showed that voters here knew what was going on with but it says hugin was able to do with all his early advertising and spending was to elevate it in he got voters ethics problems should be more of a factor in my that trend started to reverse around labor when the first ad finally appeared on new jersey tv never forgot my roots he menendez said referring to his fighting for equal pay and affordable health for corporate tax working to lower prescription hugin gouged cancer and standing up to donald he donated hundreds of thousands to him since menendez has hammered at the same message again and a a rich trump hugin was previously a trump delegate to the republican national finance chairman for new jersey campaign and a major trump but in the campaign he has distanced himself from the national gop by criticizing tax which is widely unpopular in states like new jersey with high local and emphasizing his support for a bevy of moderate proposals opposed by the universal gun background marijuana lgbtq abortion rights and and compassionate immigration seeking to escape unpopularity in blue hugin told nbc news race is bob hugin versus bob this is a new jersey as election day menendez has sought to muddy the waters on earlier this for the senator briefly returned from for a press conference in a cramped where he excoriated hugin for successful efforts to block generic alternatives to its revlimid cancer drug and its decision to to the tune of a whistleblower lawsuit that charged the company with submitting false claims to medicare and state health care and celgene deny any wrongdoing hugin gestures after casting his vote in the new jersey primary election on june in julio more need to know republican bob hugin is the poster child for a greedy pharmaceutical menendez told reporters as he waved the settlement in the air for dramatic hugin is a the senator then went on to repeat the word at least eight more in case anyone missed his all of which brings us to the second reason menendez is likely to win on election says just such an incredible force right now on so many different never seen electorate so dug there are basically no issues that can persuade people to cross over to the other side anymore including ethics and not that alleged lapses hurt him with new explains they menendez did not have this the pollster would be ahead by the latest monmouth poll numbers reflect the showing that

that trade wars are to yahoo finance columnist rick newman in an interview with yahoo took issue with philosophy on trade and the following is an edited transcript of our punctuated with the recent statements on twitter and at david knowles trump is citing the drop in the trade deficit in the second quarter as proof that his policies are does he have a rick newman most economists will tell you that while the trade deficit shrank not going to stay that way and it really had nothing to do with the it was kind of a unintended consequence of the tariffs which is that a lot of exporters were hurrying to get stuff out of the country before retaliatory tariffs went into so in that except for a totally different reason than he what most economists are saying is that plus other are actually going to strengthen the which is going to cut into exports and raise so this is almost certainly going to turn around in the next couple of the opposite effect is going to trump is just fixated on the trade as if some numbers are good and some numbers are bad and some threshold at which you pass from good into bad and just not created a which is that our goal is to get the trade deficit down and how we will measure but that have any impact at all on the tariffs are working big every country on earth wants to take wealth out of the always to our i as they if they want to be let them make or build the product in the in either it means jobs and great donald trump august dk trump likes to conflate the notion of trade deficits and stock market wrong with that line of rn not even clear what talking the stock market care about trade it really it cares about when we talk about the stock that represents all publicly traded but usually what mostly talking about are the big the which derives around percent of its revenue from foreign not the stock market care where those sales come if from big made in exporting them to other in many cases not what it multinational companies that are based in the united states with operations all over the the thing that would make the trade deficit go in the direction trump if americans bought less stuff and saved more the trade deficit would go the way to reduce the trade the reason we have a trade deficit is that we buy more than we produce in the united the way it this is why most people care about the trade deficit as a what you should care about is and you should come up with some policy to fix which no administration tariffs do just drive up costs for when the price of something goes people will spend have had a tremendous positive impact on our steel plants are opening all over the steelworkers are working and big dollars are flowing into our other countries use tariffs but when we use foolish people donald trump august dk take claim at face that steel plants are reopening across the country thanks to his but will those duties end up filling the coffers at the treasury considering the lost economic output and billion in promised financial assistance to farmers hurt by retaliatory rn money is actually flowing out of the less money is flowing into the treasury than at any time since the middle of the last on that point just completely wrong if what he means is getting more in the way of corporate tax going way down this dk because of the republican tax reform rn the on a monthly basis actually a fairly short lag releases tax receipts for the prior and way down this that is one area where we did see an almost immediate and because it was an overnight change in the amount of tax withheld and which companies and individuals were of tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the trillion in debt that has been much by the obama while at the same time reducing taxes for our at we will make much better trade deals for our donald trump august dk i suppose logic on the debt is that use the revenue from tariffs on chinese goods to pay it should americans be optimistic that this will rn basically saying we are now going to be collecting this additional i right about tariffs are at least on true that the federal government is going to be collecting more but really a nonsensical idea that you would raise taxes at that level because crimp other economic the tariffs will have a to percentage point decline in so they will cause less economic which will mean less revenue and less the argument is kind of beyond the second which is what kevin who is the chair of the council of economic advisers at the white is making is that over time and this will be a to time frame at a minimum the tax cuts and deregulatory agenda will boost economic growth to levels that are higher than they otherwise would and because going to have more economic that will mean more tax revenue because have more people working and companies will be earning a there are almost no other economists that buy hassett and peter and about dk it seems like saying an actual problem at the root of the trade deficit with china but that prescription for it is based on a faulty conception of rn all this mean that everything in regard to trade is working out just china is the real issue and there is widely accepted research showing that there have been american workers harmed by manufacturing jobs moving to and to a lesser extent the move of some manufacturing to there has been some damage from but there are better ways to handle focusing on the trade deficit tell you anything else happening in the whereas at the same all the manufacturing in the reason we had any kind of worrisome inflation inflation is just not a thing people can buy stuff and good for people the exceptions are a college education and health care two things we import from china that are breaking family no one has come up with a good solution as to what to do for the workers who have been hurt by all the manufacturing in the mainstream view is that you just stand in the way of progress and not going to allow this to you accept and

job to be a little but never been coy about his abiding frustration with the for most of his years in the the virginia once a national has haunted the halls like some tall and gangly a lonely specter from the time when senators imagined themselves to be above the partisan furies of the his entreaties to republican mostly exasperated his own who barely tolerated when i mentioned to warner that there were times when he seemed to be questioning his career he actually started think he if you hang around on the perimeter long the action comes to and so it is with who somehow finds himself the ranking democrat on the senate intelligence just in time for a investigation into the executive branch that raises eerie parallels to even as warner and i news was breaking that michael the favorite disgraced former had decided not to cooperate with the within warner and the republican north richard would jointly decide to issue more subpoenas aimed at companies no small act of there are multiple of into possible connections between the trump campaign and russian but with the special criminal probe walled off in and with the house intelligence committee burdened by blatant sometimes weird the effort looks like the best hope for a broadly public accounting of how all this came instead of haunting the warner is trailed by packs of and if you ask the instincts that once made him a walking anachronism are exactly what the moment imagine almost anything that would be worse at this point than to have totally divergent warner told you had a democratic conclusion that said there was a smoking and you had a republican conclusion that said there was no there with the tension in the country right i know what that would other than cause more which is what the russians only person who would be happy with a truly partisan split warner vladimir to really understand what warner is it helps to go all the way back to the legend of his race in which is when i first spent time with résumé to that point telecom state democratic chairman made him an unlikely choice for a state that had just voted handily for george warner went again and again to southwestern to coal towns and gun shows and a massive fiddler when he won the race that national democrats hailed him as a the lesson they took away was that democrats actually could win in rural areas if they just pretended to like guns and they missed the warner show up pretending to be anything he he just showed relentlessly and without evincing any of the fear of rejection that normal humans might somewhere along the warner had picked up the conviction that if he met you enough he could make you trust he had a confidence rarely seen in politics and seen much since in his ability to win over people who supposed to like it worked for him as a early efforts to befriend leaders of a legislature ended in what most people would have considered or even he kept at ultimately managing to enact wholesale reform of the tax among other by the time he left office in for some boneheaded get only one warner was the most popular governor in the country and an contender for wrote about him again during this period for the new york times although all anyone really remembers of that long profile is the which warner still likes to say doomed his brief in what doomed warner then was something more winds were shifting in american and communities of activists were taking charge of the bipartisanship and were party loyalty and ideological fealty were warner got himself elected to the senate in but when i saw him next he seemed vaguely sort of like bill character in in thought my place would be hammering out a bunch of deals or a tax reform warner told me this no one was doing that kind of deal warner hurled himself into debt forging a bipartisan coalition whose ideas went for the last devoted most of his energy to coming up with a badly needed agenda for the chances are you heard about warner won reelection by a shockingly thin margin has become as inflexibly partisan as everyplace else and found himself eclipsed on the national stage by his onetime tim if there were going to be a vehicle for the intel as have seemed very throughout the obama as the committee fought with intelligence agencies and wrestled internally over its mammoth investigation into american torture warner served without much crowded out by democratic colleagues like ron wyden and sheldon but through the arcane pinball game of senate warner bounced into the vice spot this and within the committee was at the center of the unfolding saga of the siberian candidate a scandal that started as a tangle of questions about whether trump aides might have colluded with russian but which has now led to the firing of the fbi director and allegations that the president has tried to his own intelligence warner and burr knew each other mostly because they were both close to saxby the georgia republican who retired in but that along with the trivial fact that burr was born in which is just the kind of local connection warner loves to seize on gave warner enough of an opening to press himself on burr in the same way he once openly courted legislators in likes to make it sound like the first person to bug him in the morning and the last person to let him go at warner told you if you want to be give me your cellphone if you listen to insiders and read between the lines of about the you get the sense that burr has tried to deflect him at as much with silence as outright both went through some is how warner puts and at least to this the two have taken every significant step in bearing down on flynn while also compelling the cooperation of other trump aides and preparing to hear testimony from the former fbi james have to recognize that under some just as under enormous warner got percent of republicans who want this to go and you have percent of democrats who think the guilty of i think over the last few as both had the relationship has gotten in warner finds himself in the familiar place of being judged insufficiently loyal in his own party pathetically democratic senators and senior aides have raised a series of concerns about the scope and capacity of the some of which seem valid from the they worry that in his passion for consensus above insisted that the investigation look at personal financial ties to and also that the paltry staff level now up to compared with scores of aides who worked on the benghazi investigation in the and not including any russia experts signals a lack of i hear warner told when i raised the time will i accept those he says the committee is getting access to information from the intel in never been granted but as part of the agreement brokered to get that warner he and burr had to limit the number of staff who had clearance to view left open the possibility that they could renegotiate that he vowed that he and burr would expand the scope of the investigation as depending on whatever comes through the the central question of so much whether warner is genuine about his but whether burr actually shares to put it another has burr managed to his partner into running a shallow investigation that will ultimately please the white burr is a politician who finds himself at a similar crossroads as a longtime salesman of lawn equipment before running for congress years among the former house members who brought with them to the senate a more if more kind of partisan nothing about burr suggests that he would relish the opportunity to be in the middle of a national arrayed against a president of his own party and its congressional when i talked to burr this he cited the flynn subpoenas as proof that not about to be rolled by his fellow only ask you to judge me based upon what done to he told were pretty quick out of the chute to serve three subpoenas now on not my but i will go to any lengths i need to encourage somebody to share their but when i asked burr about the importance of avoiding a split decision in the committee warner had called the worst imaginable outcome for the he surprised if mark looks at the facts and comes to a different conclusion than i but the american people get an opportunity to evaluate the i feel like we will have burr told less concerned with how this more concerned that we get the investigation this is a significant difference between the two and it represents the gravest danger not just to the but to political balancing if burr set on reaching a and if instead perfectly happy to let dueling factions of the committee settle on different then warner may ultimately have to choose between the united front working so hard to on one and his democratic colleagues on the it would not be an enviable i can see how you might contemplate all this and decide that just being i could probably walk a mile in the capital these days and not run into a single person who thinks bipartisan cooperation is possible or even but maybe why warner is exactly the kind of accidental investigator the country after if you go back through ugliest chapters in century american politics watergate find that it the most partisan critics who finally brought the public around to the it was the more independent voice of a joseph nye welch or a william fulbright or a sam people who easily be accused of protecting those in power or trying to ruin them for in his unflagging drive for warner may be the closest thing we have to that kind of presence in the swirl of investigations that now engulf the

of the and a complex i respectfully believe that the only candidate who has a proven track record of taking complex organizations that have a critical mission but firing on all perez but stunning upset victory showed the democrats have deeper problems than trump won with the help of traditionally democratic voters in the rust belt and rural america who switched sides and progressives who opted for third parties or skipped the race and while younger voters lean toward just about half of millennials voted last perez thinks the salvation lies in grassroots organizing and getting in front of more but what should democrats say to voters when they get as he shared his the uncertainty about the message it hopes to communicate shined of the challenges of the democratic party is that our message been reduced to a bumper we live in a lower less easy bumper the party of the middle the party of the party of often been difficult for people to distill it to a bumper perez bald and has an

recent trip he made to wisconsin and i heard feel we feel good but when you invest nothing in our community and you have no organizing presence it should not come as a surprise to you that republicans perez and these the only places where perez thinks the democrats people during last talking to people in all too many and not just talking about rural we talking to enough people in and so we underperformed in and then we got our butt kicked in rural america because we simply even present in rural perez perez talked of bringing a message of to these he said the democratic party can show there was greater job growth under its presidents than during republican but a core problem for many workers is that seen job growth skip their as manufacturing jobs have been replaced by or have been sent to other states in the or perez said the challenge is to people to be able to embrace change and to respond to i did as labor secretary is i went to those communities and not going to make promises that i but what i can promise you is going to fight to make sure that you will stay in the middle he steelworker who lost his we retooled them so that now working in advanced the woman in

barack obama inherited carnage from george but it was donald trump talking about carnage and a percent unemployment creating this parallel universe of alternative facts that is part of his effort to divide and perez other democrats who are seeking to understand how to better reach voters in states like wisconsin and michigan that made the difference in this past presidential election candidly admit they yet quite know how to win them yet perez seems certain the party will be able to craft a message after spending more time engaging with in he wants some leadership to come from the bottom think the grassroots of america are the head of the a big believer in the inverted pyramid perez but also an open question how much the democratic party is even going to try to win back white if it ends up nominating a candidate from the bernie sanders and warren wing of the that would signal a clear effort in to win simply by turning out young highly educated minorities and democrats also have work to do to excite millennials and shore up their left a situation perez readily think our actions are how we will turn this and having that organizing presence and having a capacity to train new

not have his pitch distilled into form he does seem to have a definite idea of the case he hopes to make for wary progressives and young challenge as it relates to folks who either vote or folks who voted for jill stein or is if you care about so do if you care about so do our values are in if you care about the fight for so do perez victory spawned a surge in progressive including widespread protests and a surge in support for groups like the democratic socialists of when asked whether liberal third parties could be a threat to the perez emphasizes his optimism that the party will be able

party mechanisms have less control over money and must contend with a universe of outside organizations often directed by small groups of perez said he wants to make the dnc a facilitator and partner

president trump has vowed to remake the global economy so workers benefit more and acted on that pledge right off the so he has badgered manufacturers about producing more in the united threatened a

renegotiating trade deals and pressuring trading partners to buy more products made in the if negotiations produce the desired trump says impose tariffs on imports to make those goods more in would encourage american manufacturers to make more goods here at the story threats on trade have unnerved many economists and business since most big companies rely heavily on the free flow of goods across

those goods more expensive for american perhaps on a wide range of products and inflation is often a precursor of trump is already rattling his through on companies such as general motors and which

trump be going to do it miller miller said trump has tried to highlight specific policy including for tax reform and and has attempted to reach out to on tuesday trump gave a speech on making childcare more miller noted that this policy push came as clinton spent much of late august off the campaign trail holding private fundraisers rather than public as she maintained a lead in the clinton went on where she essentially was playing a prevent defense or she was just getting some extra miller the fact of the matter she on the campaign trail aggressively pursuing the trump we had a whole series of five or six policy addresses and these policy proposals have come in speeches in which trump draws on prepared remarks and a a clear departure from his more freewheeling public while many observers have called approach more of miller said this the right characterization because trump is personally dictating the content and setting of his very smart when it comes to how to get his message said instead of miller said he would describe the new approach as think more disciplined is the right and the reason why say that is because this is trump driving miller is trump the what i think is the best way to communicate the how we make sure that cutting through and getting picked passionate about this issue for the following i want to make sure i get all these points conway also

about whether trump might make yet another pivot before the race is say not giving up our conway would just say we have a winning while aides maintain that he as conway put ultimate on his miller was vague about the he declined to discuss the specific roles of different staffers because it could set up a negative that could affect the know how much i really want to get into that because i think that everyone works so well miller you go through and start especially at the top level of a campaign start saying certain people are good at one the implication is not as good at the miller is willing to give some credit for policy push to stephen a former aide to alabama jeff sessions who is a senior policy adviser on the the spokesman said policy shop has under stephen some critics have pointed out that many of policy rollouts seem to have been cribbed from other and there has been extensive reporting from the washington josh rogin showing that policy shop in washington fell apart amid allegations of mismanagement and unpaid the campaign said the policy operation had simply been moved to new york and is doing better than policy shop has shifted from being a operation to being a new new york is where all the action is for the campaign as far as the national miller then you have all of the important battleground but the campaign activity is based out of new the policy shop has never been more never had so many so many big set and miller said recent focus on policy has resulted in a shift to where going on after a series of negative headlines in early august including extensive coverage of the attack on the parents of a slain army captain who spoke at the democratic had a nice bump coming out of the republican had an even nicer bump coming out of the democratic she dictated the tempo for a couple of miller a few issues that got sort of highly politicized at the democratic and then we really started getting things according to there will be main to upcoming policy the economy and national he also suggested that trump will continue to step up his minority outreach efforts and will counter critics who have branded him as a divisive and even racist economic freedom and security and then national those are the two things that are going to be the biggest say that a third thing really starting to pop up as a key campaign and that trying to be a president for all miller miller cited recent outreach efforts as evidence of this trump goes to an charter an asking for said when he talks about being president for all i trump has had more events in the community in the last two weeks than hillary clinton although the trump campaign is apparently aiming to improve his standing with the poll numbers have been particularly trump has seen support among in many and clinton is leading him among hispanics in key battleground kellyanne conway discusses the trump campaign on morning on mae via getty more the trump campaign clearly thinks the policy push and outreach efforts have set up a strong dynamic for trump in which he is making a positive case as clinton goes miller noted that recent shift has come at the same time that clinton has repeatedly attacked his temperament and highlighted elements of his base that hold white supremacist views comments included a remark at a fundraiser last friday when she said just be grossly you could put half of supporters into what i call the basket of including people who have statement has come under attack from the trump miller cited the comment as evidence that clinton is going negative while trump is focusing on positive aspects of his zero positive information flow for hillary clinton right and the reason being is she know who she wants to be as a miller she going to be the and nasty attack or is she going to run a positive who joined the trump campaign as a senior adviser earlier this told yahoo news that comment created a juxtaposition that is heard for from some pockets of liberal that message is dark yet it is hillary on the weekend of in a room full of rich chose to insult half of america as either bigoted trash or folks while trump continues to take his message of hope to the

spokesperson for the clinton told yahoo news the team is glad team wants to focus on mittenthal specifically noted that campaign had once boasted that the conservative news site he ran prior to working on team is for the white supremacist alt moral outrage from campaign this week is and the issue of hate is a fight eager to this is the man who spent months insulting nearly every group in who has inspired white supremacists and courted conspiracy theorists and hired the promoter of a racist movement to be his campaign this is without a doubt and what his campaign has always been mittenthal the shifts in the trump campaign been confined to leadership and trump has also made upgrades to his an area where he had lagged badly behind besides establishing a campaign has been scrambling to open up field offices in key battleground the campaign is still well behind on this trump also began airing his first television ads of the general election campaign last but he still has bought far fewer commercials and raised much less money than according to data from advertising analytics when funds from outside groups that support the candidates are clinton and her allies had spent six times more on television ads than trump and his backers as of even though polls have tightened it remains to be seen whether any improvements the trump campaign has made in recent weeks are too little too

starting to mark the bubble for one realizing a mistake and then more fully filling in the other the machine reads both bubbles as being filled and it invalidates the vote in that all ballots with overvotes and undervotes will be assessed by hand in a county workers will sort through and if the actual intent of the voter volunteers for the campaigns involved in the recount can ask that the ballot be assessed by a canvassing board consisting of the local supervisor of the chair of the county commissioners board and a county court there were an unusual number of undervotes in the senate

maintain their territory for the rest of the time that operation proposed launching a tnvr program at the base in late but the navy would not allow she so her group sent their proposal to the navy directly in late she pretty sure they know of and have read the proposal based on what not sure if get a kelly a lot of what trying to do is get and build media and social media attention on the issue

blowfish hit often lost on in that in the modern age is aimed at least as much at government as it is at big a lot of people seem to think their taxes are mostly being used to screw up their schools and them at the if no one was all that bothered when trump jeered women and people with disabilities and prisoners of probably not going to break down and cry over his harsh treatment of the but the question been pondering this week has more to do with those of us who cover why do we care so much about tax and should try to leave aside our biases about because in fact his supporters are and we do tend to show some unconscious bias against candidates who exploit racial display close to zero knowledge of the world and routinely say things that are patently not this is something we need to work no one is near as i can that trump violated the law or lied about his the only accusation here is that he took full advantage of the tax code to amortize his stupefying losses over a long enabling him to avoid paying federal income taxes for a number of and while no idea of a tax policy there are probably good reasons for the everyone keeps railing the tax code is designed to encourage risk if your average entrepreneur gets hit with a devastating loss this it probably makes sense to let him deduct that loss over a period of while he struggles to certainly not passing on any legitimate tax deductions i can and hillary clinton or as mika brzezinski put it while discussing the two candidates and their taxes on this laws were you guys cancel each other yes and the problem with tax history is that emblematic of something a missing plank at the foundation of his i suspect he knows this which is why he so doggedly refused to release his technically defensible as they simply there seem to be any record anywhere of trump having considered the public interest above his this me ripping into the guy for being rich or a genuine assessment of his record as a citizen and a if some evidence of trump having served anyone but for more than one night at some red carpet like to see this is new in presidential going back to george american presidents have more or less fulfilled the ideal of citizen they come with outsize egos and a craving for power and but they also come to the office with a demonstrated record of service in state or federal or in the you have to like and you certainly have to buy that pure of but you do have to acknowledge that she has spent her adulthood in public as a government lawyer and a first lady and finally a politician in her own has clinton taken opportunities to enrich herself along the and probably too many for but anyone who thinks she sacrificed something to the cause that she be richer than she or have led a cushier and less stressful life is letting ideology cloud all where is commitment to the civic can anyone produce so he pay a dime to support federal programs for a bunch of there are plenty of other ways to sacrifice for country and as the young heir to a modest real estate did he join the as a master did he also build magnificent housing for new yorkers who afford did he use all that like mike to build a premier research center for public has he even run a proposed a single meaningful spoken out for any group who speak for trump built a skating rink in central because he got tired of waiting around for how you like me bill trump has a charitable according to some very good reporting by the washington david he funded that foundation entirely with other and then he used some of it to settle there are always suggestions from close advisers his that he is the most generous and civically minded billionaire you can imagine so much in that he even tell you how generous and civically minded lest his generosity and be misconstrued as i guess if he showed us his tax what does trump do he runs down every form of public service every chance he politicians are government experts are silly generals are our best journalists are i often wonder what some of the accomplished public servants around mike pence or rudy giuliani or chris say to themselves when they hear his contempt for the public square spilling out in every do they think not talking about he absolutely taxes are merely a reflection of everything else we know about the man that he is driven by to the exclusion of all and the fact

which is by no means includes several people who are knowledgeable about alleged according to the testimony of other but who are not being called by prosecutors to the jeffrey yohai former given earlier reporting that he was cooperating with federal absence from the witness list in alexandria is one of the towering mysteries in the daughter jessica divorced yohai last but before the marriage broke yohai was real estate one part of the alleged bank fraud scheme involves yohai and manafort seeking loans from the banc of california to buy or build houses and apartment complexes to rent out in southern a banc of california employee called to the stand this week testified that yohai did not bring much to the yohai personally offered weak financial gary seferian and the properties he and manafort asked the bank to finance were less complete than yohai had prosecutors also had seferian read from a may email written indicating that yohai had flipping the sort of expensive los angeles homes he and manafort planned to unimpressed with the bank looked to assets and income as the primary source of repayment for their and prosecutors allege that manafort had misrepresented those a separate part of the alleged bank fraud scheme involved manafort seeking more favorable terms on loans from citizens bank by misleading the bank and its appraisers about the use of his condo in the soho neighborhood of jurors heard testimony from citizens bank employees and were shown emails indicating that manafort recruited his own daughter and yohai into putting on a charade for the he believes that you and jessica are living manafort wrote to yohai in one the purpose of the ruse was to persuade citizens bank that the extended manafort family was using the condo as a second when in truth manafort was renting out the condo on airbnb and similar former navy seal who now works at airbnb described to the jury how often the condo was listed on the several media outlets reported earlier this year that yohai had struck a plea agreement with the office in los angeles and agreed to cooperate with the including the special in exchange for reduced charges relating to a bank fraud conspiracy in his real estate that if it remains under the government has not publicly charged yohai with a the most natural venue for cooperation would have been this manafort where the alleged bank fraud is at has a second trial coming up in but it will focus on his alleged unregistered lobbying on behalf of foreign were the reports of a deal is the special office saving testimony for something perhaps involving foreign has it lost confidence in yohai as a in response to these questions and peter the spokesman for the special declined to comment what was said in a member of the defense team did not respond to a request for jeffrey steve calk and david federal savings more steve calk the chairman and ceo of the federal savings bank in on after hours of mysterious delays that scuttled the morning session and kept jurors and spectators in suspense for much of the the prosecution called dennis raico as its first raico testified under a grant of immunity about how the bank calk runs came to give paul manafort million of loans with one of the loans closing shortly after the presidential election and the other shortly before the presidential raico testified that the timing was no he told the was angling for a role in the trump and he took an unusual interest in loan repeatedly meeting privately and socially with manafort and discussing loan terms with him raico testified that he had never seen the ceo previously get involved with an individual loan during the summer of manafort had already exercised his influence to put calk on a trump campaign advisory and calk indicated to raico that he wanted to be part of a future trump a few days after trump won the and shortly before the first loan calk called raico and asked him to call manafort to inquire whether calk up for treasury secretary or raico was uncomfortable with the request and make the email evidence initially introduced earlier showed that manafort had used his influence during the transition to push calk for a post as secretary of the testimony was bracing and and witness will likely make a similar these other bank officers are generally able to testify only about their limited firsthand they were not at all the dinners and privy to all the phone conversations between the bank ceo and the campaign own immunized testimony against manafort would almost certainly be much more yet the prosecutors do not plan to call why testimony potentially implicates calk as well as it is a federal offense for a person to give or offer money or other things of value to someone in exchange for that second promise to use his or her influence to get the first person appointed to a government in testimony raises questions of whether calk defrauded the its investors and its regulators in some the government has no apparent plans to call calk as a and so reasonable to conclude they offered him any kind of immunity and he may be in grave legal as of this he has not been publicly charged with a david fallarino front office banker at citizens jurors heard testimony on thursday last week from two of who were asked to describe a number of emails fallarino had sent and framing the sort of financial information he needed to receive from earlier in the jurors had seen evidence of how manafort took these emails as instructions showing how to effectively falsify his financial documents to win approval of the loan he on jurors also heard from an underwriting supervisor at the bank who processed the manafort loans fallarino had the testimony of his underwriting colleague and the raft of emails prosecutors introduced into evidence all make clear that fallarino was the main point of contact between manafort and gates and citizens and fallarino almost certainly has the most information surrounding any so what explains absence from the one which i think best fits the is that fallarino refused to testify without and the government refused to grant that would reflect the judgment that they could prove the elements of their case against manafort that relate to citizens bank with the testimony of the lower level employees who ultimately appeared without being granted and that they preferred not to give up the ability to prosecute while fallarino has not been publicly charged with a it appears that he too may be in substantial legal not clear whether the defense will seek to call calk or fallarino to testify on but the evidence introduced in court thus far makes that possibility appear by not procuring testimony from these potential the special office appears to have accepted some added difficulties in its prosecution of manafort in order to protect the department of ability to pursue other ongoing a fair bet a lot more to come from this luppe luppen is a lawyer

speaking with agreed to continue the a few days greenagel received a call from who recommended they meet for lunch at the redwood a landmark art deco cocktail bar orwell told greenagel be wearing a blue suit and yellow at the redwood orwell explained to greenagel what the cia had in mind for the soviet consulate in san which had opened in was a hotbed of spy activity focused on and yuri a was aggressively trying to develop relationships with individuals associated with the reagan the soviets saw reagan as a dangerous hardliner who opposed the of tensions pursued by nixon and the soviets were also concerned about the charismatic former growing orwell said that reagan announcement had sent all kinds of tremors through the recalls the problem was that pavlov actually making many orwell told greenagel that at diplomatic functions and cocktail parties pavlov start talking with somebody that may have had a connection to the reagan and typically the guy would so they wanted somebody who was willing to be and greenagel if i met some russian guy who wanted to talk about that probably would have been my orwell told greenagel that he had an ideal background for work with the greenagel was with no prying boss or colleagues and he could keep his own there were a few logistical issues of the standard background greenagel had no official role in the reagan he was strictly a no said he would contact lyn then the reagan campaign press secretary later an adviser within the reagan white explain the situation and make sure that greenagel would be given in the elegance of the redwood a setting fit for a spy orwell had just one last question for you be willing to we just want a guy who will become friends with greenagel said yuri a athletic was something of a sensitive the cia had intelligence that pavlov who like greenagel was in his was disturbed by the nepotism in soviet his wife had inherited a factory position from her a communist party and pavlov felt stymied in his it was a point of pride for pavlov stationed in the united for the first time in his career he was earning more than his bill a former longtime fbi counterintelligence agent based in san says though pavlov posed as soviet he was in fact a kgb officer that focused on political those kgb officers were in the united states to collect intelligence from had but they were out there talking to as many people as they could talk says who also worked soviet counterintelligence in san francisco during this pavlov was an easygoing and handsome with strong english outgoing by he was a frequent presence at prominent local private organizations like the commonwealth club and world affairs sidling up to government officials at was very very very recalls had a lot of good and we kept a real close eye on pavlov also the campus at says the kgb officer attended keeping an eye on soviet students studying there and targeting professors who might wind up one day in pavlov also hung out at bars in berkeley popular with especially international students who might rise to prominence one day in their own he would try to elicit sympathy at berkeley for the soviet russians realized that if democrats berkeley professors would be joining incoming recalls if republicans stanford folks pavlov was active in both says and he also built relationships with silicon valley executives who were fundraisers for both the fbi knew all this at the the kgb was with agents working for the united according to who would receive intelligence detailing reports pavlov was submitting about his progress in the bay of these kgb guys were under pressure to develop sources and he and as a result they tended to exaggerate their connections and lie about their development of american a sort of version of résumé those in would end up back with the which would then call the fbi and person is a kgb and but it would cause problems for innocent kinane were getting all this stuff about sourcing and half of it was kgb officers would read something in the paper and say that they were told not it turns was an honest kgb officer who sought out real american and now the cia needed to make sure greenagel would be one of those the was to initiate contact between greenagal and pavlov in a unforced the cia had a a few days after their meeting in the redwood orwell called greenagel with good news nofzinger had readily agreed to the if anyone role in the reagan for president campaign would be the thing to do was broker an orwell told greenagel that pavlov would soon be attending a party at the home of retired elvy roberts the former commander of the presidio in san francisco in the tony suburb of this was their and orwell told greenagel to plan on attending the orwell would feign prior intimacy with even though the two men had never roberts would then facilitate an introduction to it roberts opened the door to his recalls and greeted him like an old so glad he a guy who is anxious to meet then he took me over to pavlov acutely interested in work with the reagan so they exchanged business cards and agreed to meet not long as contacted greenagel and invited him to meet up for over the pavlov peppered greenagel with questions about the former california reagan a why does he want military why he support recalls an unlikely friendship of sorts soon they were seeing each other socially on a regular usually over drinks or the two men the staunch reaganite and soviet spy would drive over the golden gate bridge together for boozy outings in who had a weakness for johnnie walker would partake in ideological debates about the merits of communism and and engage in more mundane talk about their personal and professional including about boss that soviet consul general alexander but greenagel had a leg in he already knew about workplace gripes before pavlov ever once confided in because orwell had extensively briefed him about what the cia already over the course of their pavlov confided these and other details to which greenagel then dutifully passed on to the often corroborating its prior information on orwell had only a few rules for he was to discourage pavlov from if the russian expressed interest in doing the cia wanted in that active kgb who generally had access to more and better intelligence than he was also to encourage pavlov to break the rules governing the activities of soviet such as those regarding local travel movements of soviet diplomats were heavily circumscribed under orwell encouraged greenagel to ply pavlov with expensive such as a was probably aimed at potentially compromising pavlov down the if the cia ever approached pavlov and revealed he had accepted gifts from an agency he might then be induced to work for the cia rather than face the wrath of the orwell would hand greenagel bills to cover his expenses for his outings with greenagel would sign the receipts using his maiden it was worth the time and orwell told was someone the agency was in trying to the cia believed that pavlov was someone who believed he could make a difference in the world what the cia profilers referred to as a yuri pavlov of interest just to the the fbi was following him closely he in one of the the former fbi counterintelligence was assigned during the one of the great was that neither nor the other fbi officer who worked soviet counterintelligence in san francisco at the recalled that the cia had recruited greenagel as an artistic interpretation of fbi agents surveilling yuri noah macmillan for yahoo more it may seem surprising that fbi agents like kinane and smith could know so much about a soviet spy like pavlov and yet be ignorant of work with the but while the cia and fbi can and do work well the counterintelligence world has often been wracked by tensions between the two fbi agents often bristle at the perceived flouting of rules governing their domestic executive order a lays out the roles and responsibilities of both agencies in broad the last updated in affirms the fbi as the lead agency for counterintelligence and foreign intelligence collection on the primacy is underlined by its seizure and arrest the cia can conduct clandestine foreign intelligence gathering in the united but must generally coordinate with the fbi and this is a major point of the cia is forbidden to perform or law enforcement functions it also cannot conduct electronic searches of citizens or legal permanent or physical surveillance of persons for current or former cia employees or on and it cannot target the domestic activities of persons for foreign intelligence the cia go undercover domestically when approaching and it can collect foreign intelligence from and citizens and legal permanent residents on american like who are aware they are working with the cia and are doing so it also sometimes tasks these individuals to commit espionage abroad part of volunteer force of who roamed the as henry the former nr division writes in his art of as is often the case with the intelligence the devil is in the details and the details are a raft of documents recently declassified after an court battle reveals just how little the public entire pages delineating the rules governing the activities in the united states are as are big swaths of another key document a of that lays out the specific procedure for intelligence coordination and cooperation between the two between the fbi and cia on counterintelligence has run at a it was a battle with the recalls the former fbi counterintelligence trying to do the same it causes fbi counterintelligence felt like the cia was muscling into its disrupting delicate fbi operations already in although the two agencies could coordinate recalls there were fbi agents in san francisco who simply refused to work with their cia while the relationship has evolved significantly since the cold war and especially serious tensions have endured to the say half a dozen former intelligence officials from both who requested anonymity in order to speak more candidly on the in some corners of the there is a deep strain of edging on outright regarding the cia that is rooted as much in cultural differences as bureaucratic a major sticking point between the two agencies is the requirement that the cia coordinate its clandestine domestic activities with the say multiple former counterintelligence cia officers will request making an approach on a or someone with access to that the fbi will citing current operations already the cia will go around their backs and contact the person in one recalled a former fbi counterintelligence a cia officer asked whether he could make an approach to an american citizen connected to lawrence livermore national laboratory which helps design and maintain the nuclear arsenal with connections to russians of intelligence after the fbi agent said the cia officer went ahead and approached the person representing himself as a in violation of rules requiring that cia officers disclosure their identity to citizens and legal permanent say multiple former counterintelligence undercover cia officers have been caught by fbi surveillance or even on fisa warrants making these things can get had agents going to go out and fucking arrest that a cia officer caught on fbi surveillance around interfering with our investigation and not declaring themselves the way supposed recalls a former senior counterintelligence not get this shit out in the it happens all the the cia us like a hostile intelligence said another former senior counterintelligence while there is no evidence that work on behalf of the cia ever ran crosswise of the it does raise the question of why the which was keeping close tabs on pavlov and his outreach to the reagan never came across greenagel believes that the fbi had some role in conducting his background but he never had a single interaction with the nor did his cia handler tell him if local fbi counterintelligence was aware he was working for the the scope of what the fbi knew about his if is it seems hard to given that the fbi was monitoring but it could well be that the bureau simply missed the fact that a kgb officer was meeting regularly with someone involved with the reagan fbi and cia both declined to comment about tensions or the related issues of using americans as the lack of coordination between the fbi and cia isolated to greenagel and greenagel also helped recruit a former colleague of his from the chamber of jim to work for the haynes was subsequently contacted by steve around with haynes feigned interest in obtaining a visa to visit moscow to write a story for the chamber of commerce about the soviet preparatory work for the his target was konstantin a kgb officer posing as a soviet diplomat in charge of the visa like greenagel and haynes began to meet up with but unlike koryavin seemed more interested in women than head was on a he was looking at every female that walked recalls when wife was back in the soviet diplomat contacted haynes with a he wanted to visit the local strip on a chilly san francisco the two men caroused around north drunkenly patronizing the topless after that boozy haynes met with asked the and he do you i am i supposed to do with this orwell a time not in some james bond not looking for anything what we want to do is establish a get him to trust get him to like and my role was to get him hooked on life in the united states so when he rotated back to moscow he could be that never after a year or haynes took a job out of ending his work with the cia and his relationship with who later moved to the soviet mission to the united nations in new one koryavin was stopped by the fbi while covertly delivering cash to officials in the tiny communist party in new fbi officers in a at a local restaurant and attempted to recruit the kgb officer to work for the says the which was apparently unaware of the efforts back in san was in the cat and mouse game of recruiting cold war hard to say who came out what is perhaps most striking about efforts to develop contacts in the reagan camp in how fruitless they seemed in the some of the academics pavlov targeted did indeed end up working in presidential recalls though pavlov failed to recruit any of if pavlov failed to infiltrate the reagan it would appear the cia also failed to turn the frustrated kgb officer with a to the other but there are signs that he and his wife at least contemplated what life in the united states might be one says the two men were out out of the pavlov posed a pregnant he you think i could ever pass as an taken aback and instructed by orwell to discourage defection greenagel muttered something about his accented english and dowdy suits betraying foreign pavlov never brought it up another during one of their regular social pavlov invited greenagel up to his apartment the only in he visited says pavlov lived in a spacious place near the just down the hill from the soviet greenagel met who spent most of her days in the apartment watching television and trying to learn when greenagel looked around the he was shocked at how wife had decorated the she had covered entire walls with photos from american sometime around pavlov rotated out of san before he introduced greenagel to another diplomat based at the alexander who previously on the potemkin continued to see and greenagel continued to report back to the one greenagel invited potemkin over to his apartment in pacific heights for the soviet diplomat showed up with a colleague from the embassy who greenagel suspected was a security after a few colleague got and began to grill think he said to have a goddamn thing to do with the greenagel replied which was despite the greenagel and potemkin still met up though their contacts were less frequent and petered out by when greenagel took a job down in silicon now works at the cultural cooperation according to an article in russia beyond part of a russian state news potemkin retired from the russian diplomatic service in and authorization from both the russian and governments to stay on and become an advocate for exchange and he did not respond to a request for time as a cia asset drew to a and he never knew what became of but the former fbi heard through the grapevine the kgb life back in moscow was that daughter was killed by a drunk driver in moscow and that he and his wife split apart after kinane was pavlov sank into alcoholism and the other former fbi remembered pavlov at least in the professional respected him a great smith was a good kgb by smith meant smart and as to koryavin the kgb officer the fbi tried to recruit in new koryavin reappeared in the when kinane served as the legal attaché in the soviet union had fallen and the including its spy was in koryavin contacted kinane through an not to offer his services as a but to sell a fake stradivarius string he was con man of the first says cia officer steve whose real name greenagel learned was harold died in his obituary in the washington while noting his residence in san francisco and work as a cryptographer at the army security does not mention any cia is identified as a cia officer in a book by david while relationship with pavlov may never have yielded any great catch for the by way of a turned kgb it did allow the cia to keep tabs on interest in infiltrating the reagan interest in gaining inroads into political campaigns is what at least by was the reaction from the republican presidential candidate and his which was much less suspicious of russian four decades after pavlov cozied up to hoping to make contacts in the reagan key members of donald presidential including the

nonsanctioned race armstrong chats with fellow cyclists in new late last more yahoo did you ever imagine be doing an interview pegged to your when you started you called it a step do you still feel that lance i know what to to be i try to get too far out of my lane when i not knowing actually what to been surprised at how how been podcasts what have you now being on the other side of you i the tables are completely i was interviewed for so a totally different mainly i guess my biggest surprise is how the guests have been really open about a lot of i think surprised and i know why that but to been the most rewarding part to just get people to give it up in these did you listen to podcasts before you started and if who did you listen i and i never did and i still i wish that i and every day i tell myself i need to start doing but if in my car i listen to i understand going to do a podcast during the the idea behind essentially be a spinoff of tough to call it almost but be a concise recap show of the is it something been itching to to get your voice into cycling i say been itching or dying to do the last four years i really followed much and literally to this day i follow a but last i found myself watching more of the and so the idea behind the forward was that it was a forward it a cycling it to talk about the rehashing things that have already been extensively but any time i touch on whether it was the podcast with all my old teammates or any kind of cycling the reaction is pretty and i if the the tour what if they had another option for a recap i love the nbc i think a lot that can be improved so i decided to go for it this summer and most importantly see if good at it or if i suck at and then secondly see how you mentioned the nbc do you feel like your name is being intentionally omitted from their a fair see what happens this i have to none of us need to speculate on the last i mean pretty well known that my name is not allowed to be is that anecdotal or have you heard that from someone at a that seems a little odd but the position nbc sports has an nbc sports spokesman refuted is completely the spokesman armstrong has been mentioned on our telecasts over the past four years and likely will be moving forward if the context is how about in do you feel like your history in the sport is being i think that was the i not taking the position that it was all unfair and i got but the statement that making certainly intention governing body at the time was to erase the trick for them has proven to be and will continue to prove to be is that you you have a few things you have a very iconic event the tour de that has to have a has you erase something and you turn the pencil around and write something you do that for that and then where it really gets tested is with the so the you erase their not to say that they excuse it or that they forgive it or they understand it none of just they have and long you just erase you can but over time history corrects and just my own not the right person to take a view on but my sense is that we are already starting to see history correcting the hysteria dies the screaming dies down and then people look at it and rational adults when done screaming look it happens look at look at the situation in now where everybody is at some point stop and now what do we armstrong raises his arms as he crosses the finish line to win the stage of the tour de more do you miss the sport of i miss being in the i miss being in europe and that nomadic lifestyle i miss that at and not unhappy with where i sit i look at the in carson and gonna race my bike tomorrow against thousands of people i feel like ingrained in i not in germany at the start of the tour de but i still own multiple bike shops mellow still a factor in this i feel like not you mentioned the political and right now we have a president who has been accused by many people of what are your thoughts on president i mean no upside for me to comment on i need to add to the for lack of a better and obviously in the middle of a significant legal situation with the department of justice always tried to stay somewhat i privately i have my views and people that know me know my but all say is a messy situation and you i think our counterparts around the world view us too kindly right which is i wanted to ask you about maria who recently returned to tennis after being suspended for two years for doping only to have the french open not give her the chance to have you followed her how do you think been i can see it from all i can i watched her watched some of the other reactions that have been negative towards her which you could and then got the reactions of these event and they get to decide whether the french i it could be indian it could be the backyard i they get to you fault them for that it surprise me that the french open took that just knowing the organizers of the tour de france as well as i a position they love to but i suspect get more invitations down the the biggest issue for her is going to be how well she i think injured or had gotten if you come back to the highest everything goes the invitations go the sponsors go just the nature of professional said before that during the your kids started getting teased at and how that was a poignant moment for when you spoke with them about i know talked about but what do you tell your children about drug use in you i know where trying to go with but what i say to my kids is up to and what i choose to share is up to me and nobody i was going to ask you about your who i understand plays and as a you think about the safety of that given the national debate over head it seems to be a conversation that every family with a child playing football is having as a you want your kids to be as safe as they if my son plays football or if my goes and rides a bike you have to wear a helmet and stay out of the luke has chosen to play you i had this conversation with somebody i never to date knock on wood a head and i know that play past the high school so as a sitting there playing a focused on keeping you i think sports are good for kids to keep focused on something besides getting in and happy for him and i think not one of these unrealistic he think he deserves a scholarship to the university of alabama or he knows where he fits in and where going to take armstrong arrives prior to the start of the third stage of the tour de more how about you biking a how do you as a stay in do you still run not i got hurt so back to just riding my bike been doing this podcast for a had a lot of interesting on your wish who would be the one living person love to have on your a good because obviously a lot of people like to have and then there are the conversations that i have in my for and this is not on the top of my wish but probably followed this megyn jones we covered it i can only and seen the furor over which i think nbc by the if a parent at sandy hook and someone says the shooting was as a i would go i you be able to a guy like that saying those you better bring getting a little off the subject but those are not the types of interview where been any all of them have been pretty i getting a little off the no you know who tried to get and had multiple conversations with and she just want to do it and by the i blame her at all is amanda because love to have that even want to interview george who i consider a i think probably want to do but why would he do a lot of people in this world get to a place where why do i in my interest to do and a lot of times it just falls to a place where just no but no upside for armstrong takes part in a special session on cancer research during the clinton global initiative in new more who would be the person like to interview if you these are classic interview by the would you want to go back and meet if you i listened to all your so not sure asked questions like i but getting some good going to steal your feel please if i could talk to kurt be pretty a good i stole that particular question from an interview new york magazine did with david letterman and he said the person love to interview if it trump was bob so kind of on the same an interesting answer for be a great more than i love just the images of he looks like santa claus now he looks like having a great time being as he so this is the last another from the classic interview if you could map out the next what would they look i say it all the the most important part is the taking care of you my son years from i could be a you years from now i have young kids that are getting out of high so making sure that all navigates is the most important and for the first time ever in my i have a completely blank i can really do whatever i want to i can continue to do the podcast or start a new business or look very if i look back five years ago to the world looks very and years from the world is going to look drastically different than it is i guess i have an open mind towards where in the past i had a very rigid view of where i wanted to what i wanted to and at this pretty laid back about it and understand not so much about what i want to more about what the world will allow me to and just a very different mindset from what it used to home mail news finance sports entertainment search mobile

interrupted pence constantly and actually granted him permission to speak for himself out more than trump ticked off accomplishments in indiana as if he had just hired a city while pence smiled governors find themselves patronized very not hard to see why trump seems unenthusiastic about his and why he apparently dithered over it even after offering the the legend of trump is that he never does anything room for small is how speechwriter put it in the part of her convention speech that room for small but pence is a classic halfway and trump seems bent on making him look plenty in trump

list was chris who at least had the candor to dispense with all the exhausting coyness and say flat out he wanted the you could make a pretty strong in that christie was owed it was after who took down marco rubio at exactly the moment trump needed him and as a recent chairman of the republican governors and a favorite of the conservative christie was the first serious party figure to swing his support to trump at a critical moment in the primaries for which he absorbed no end of scorn and and christie had the national standing to fill the could you imagine him pussyfooting around with good in a national tv letting trump tell him when it was ok to speak his trump have and if he those two guys would have ended up rolling around on the expensive biting each ears but christie a reassuring and he likely to broaden there a dozen new jerseyans who would vote for him again at this and party leaders were disgusted by his slavish embrace of candidacy while they were still trying desperately to stop nor was the party brass going to feel especially soothed by newt another strong personality who appealed more to trump than to social or michael flynn a former general and political who uttered my favorite line of this convention so about war is about at least pretty sure what he i have no idea and so it was that the blustery boss who goes all in for whatever he wants and bends all others to his found in this first big that presidential politics has a way of bending you somehow he was persuaded to split the in doing he got pretty much nothing beyond a running mate who causes him no and willing to bet still pence has a calming effect on republican leaders and religious who consistently describe him as but he does nothing more to reach women or skeptical independents than christie or gingrich would have and while trump seems to like pence he evidence a ton of real respect or personal comfort with his if the cbs interview is any rather than on the brashness that people seem to like about trump chose a subordinate who makes him seem more imperious and more for who was in for a tough reelection fight in the calculation here is either he wins the second highest office or he establishes himself as a formidable national either set up to pursue the presidency on his in four years or in except for the not insignificant i that the rest of the campaign looks like that first public and that somehow pence ends up a diminished version of the national candidate he could have having introduced himself to the public as a guy who lets himself be told when to speak and

power jon ward senior political correspondent july a texas delegate on the arena floor during the second day of the republican national convention in mark more cleveland one of the last real levers of power that political parties hold in their hands in america is the nominating and the republican party this week used that instrument of power which it controls almost completely to push over the finish line the nomination of a presidential candidate whose ascendancy demonstrates how weak and ineffectual the party itself has become this election throughout american political parties have used their power to exercise quality control over the nominating by acting as private they have prevented extremists and fringe characters from gaining at the party still reigns it can stick rebellious state delegations in remote hotels and far corners of the convention complicating their logistics and making it harder for them to participate in floor but this is only a shadow of the power parties once held across all parts of the presidential nominating before this meant presidential nominees were picked by party bosses at the the bosses controlled blocs of and met in back rooms to decide who had the broadest appeal to the with the best chance of winning the general election in the their choice then stood before the voters in about as close a form of direct democracy as you can the process was a mixed closed and before the nominee was but open and after the argument for this approach lay in the american determination to prevent too much power from being concentrated in the hands of any one person or group of while also preventing the of the will of the voters or as donald trump often refers to the of the from running roughshod over the ability of leaders to think and act after reforms ahead of the the primary process began to take precedence over the as voters began to expect more input in the party at the expense of party bosses and television played a big role in opening up the convention process to people who the parties have tried to push back at with some the democrats created superdelegates ahead of the to allow party insiders to moderate and temper the energy from the grass but cultural attitudes have continued to trend against party control and have shaped the and that is why the rnc staff and committee members have worked to help they know that the public is conditioned to think of primary elections as even though the delegate system is supposed to serve as a buffer or release valve for the party in the case of an inconclusive many republicans

politics has been to jon ward senior political correspondent june in the donald trump has bashed bernie sanders has denounced populist sentiment is running strong in both political but our primary nominating system is the most open and democratic ever and there is a growing sense among some that the political reforms of the last years which made the system more open might have actually made it harder for our politicians to govern and to actually solve problems once jonathan rauch makes this argument in the cover story of the current atlantic out this a senior fellow at the brookings writes of the american political reformed it to political reformers have attacked intermediaries as or all of the americans have been busy demonizing and disempowering political professionals and which is like spending decades abusing and attacking your own immune you will get rauch and as a movement to stop trump at the republican convention with hundreds of delegates reportedly saying they will vote against their own nominee next month in yahoo news asked rauch for his thoughts on why and how such a movement might he spoke with jon ward in our new york the following is a transcript of our jon what are the key changes that have been made over the last few decades and why did they have a negative in your jonathan government and politics are hugely and they take thousands of politicians and activists to organize and millions of voters to and that happen you need systems like political machines and bargains and deals and incentives to make all that stuff work every otherwise just complete we had a lot of those they took many decades to build but a lot of us including me in earlier points like they seemed like they were unfair and undemocratic and but they were things like private negotiations where people could go and try to work stuff we opened those it became much more difficult to work things earmarks were part of spending turned out to be a very inexpensive way to get compromises you if i give you this airport for your will you vote to cut the budget for this big entitlement the civil rights lyndon the civil rights that was an important incentive to get followers to follow much harder campaign people thought that was they thought it was payoff and so they made fundraising much harder to there were two bad consequences of one is the money goes outside politics to these outside totally and the other is that much harder for me as a party leader to use funding to incentivize you to take a tough vote on a debt and then the biggest one of all was switching to direct they have their pros and their but one of the things politicians used to be able to do to incentivize people to follow if help me on this tough and i really need you to pass this you know going to help you win this and in a position to do because the party has some say over when i lost the ability to protect you in a tough you were off for the you become an in many renegade and when you add all this stuff very hard for leaders to i like to say we have a not a leadership crisis in a followership when you talk about direct talking about the reforms that happened starting around after the convention in they really go back more than a but it really starts taking effect in the because you had teddy and they started primaries in the early and then after the they started going to the more open primaries and continue reading and primary became so a lot of the insiders essentially lost their and so having a lot of debate over donald trump is criticizing that they even in the democratic bernie sanders is criticizing the idea of they have a lot of a lot of popular these i want to talk about these cultural look at some poll percent of americans say the use of superdelegates is a bad percent say a good among percent say superdelegates are a bad and only percent of democrats say a good and some quotes from people who were interviewed by the common man needs to be included said one another guy supposed to be one one the way it should underneath these quotes and these what is it that you think is driving these perceptions of how politics should and why do you feel that a few one is which has a long tradition in it goes back to andrew another is distrust of the a sense that these people have not done a very good and all of that is i would argue that a lot of gone wrong in the last or when people have been much less happy about politics over is actually the disempowering of these who are able look at the not just the small minority of voters who vote in who are not even representative of their own party but who control the process for the rest of they also look at the general the people who are going to come out on election and they try to what about those what do they what about people who may not go to the polls most years at so thinking about thinking about the long term interests of the party and the thinking about they know they have to pass bills on the next so very important that these institutional people also have a no one is saying they should have the only but the system works best when a mixed when got some input from and got some input from professionals and parties and working in harmony and in more what the founders intended and probably a better one thing noticed is when you have debates over these issues say the delegate issue that trump raised these or these parts of the system get isolated so that people are talking about the use of delegates at the convention potentially to take the nomination away from trump as if the only part of our constitutional when in fact there are many different parts of our constitutional of the way that we get people of the way we elect them to represent exactly we have checks and balances in the formal constitution and we also need checks and balances in these informal political you want just one type of taking over the whole and look at this is a guy who won the nomination in the crucial first primaries with a not even a of only percent of the primary which is itself not representative of the general in other a minority of a minority picked this guy for the entire republican party and now probably going to lose for going to be a disaster for and yet he did have the most votes of any republican nominee in many years so that shows that been very little participation in this process for a very little participation in and an ongoing but the way dealt with that is add other voices who will think about the general election and unrepresented groups as i hear this phrase will of the what about that people the will of the people even though it was a plurality and not a majority trump is representing the will of the which it goes back to what i just it is a reality that few americans vote in these primary so they tend to be dominated by special interests and extremists and people who will show up to vote for specific and those are not necessarily speaking for the main bulk of one way dealt with that is having these institutions that tried to take a broader so all saying is that both these things need a not that voting is always the only thing that should be going i mean one thing i noticed when i went back and read the federalist papers this year is that the founders were concerned about two they were wary of concentrated power at the of a person having too much power top they were also sort of having too much of a say in the they wanted to mediate both exactly the famous story is when franklin left the constitutional a woman asked what have you given a republic or a he if you can keep and what he had in mind by that notice he say a he said a a mixed system of and he understood there would be threats to that from people who said we should always just have direct democracy all the so the founders understood this the other irony in and when i covered the tea you heard a lot of people have a not a but now a lot of people want direct and of course a lot of the people get rid of the have direct are the people who think they would benefit from and if the tables were turned a lot of those people would be wait a hang good you an irony that bernie sanders wants to win or did want to win by converting superdelegates in an undemocratic how many ways do you want there is a history of people going back and forth on this how would you change the primary nomination what changes would you make to i would give the parties more of a i give them the only there are all kinds of ways to do the states are in charge of the primary and have different things in different but for i like the idea of indicating party for on the a way of you been loyal to the people who care about that would know i like the idea of requiring to get on the ballot some petition signatures from party elected officials as well as the general a way to show those people that going to be a team player to some or at least thinking about sending unbound delegates is another way to do some states are doing it this and that means you send delegates and then you let them make a smart call at the convention on your not everyone does but more of a mixed it seems to me that a big part of the problem we have now is that fault this the public at large has no idea that the system works the way it and so when it turns out that the rules are people the press has not covered it this we told last what will and should happen at the republican i can make you a confident prediction that my predictions will be i have misguessed this political season from the good luck to you if you have done it looks to me like trump is a disastrous loser for the republican party in what might have been a winnable and probably be better off with someone but at this point hard to see a solution for what do you am i allowed to i think if the poll numbers over the next month continue to plummet for if you look at the three conventions since where a nominee has been challenged at the hat challenge only went forward when there was a pretty strong public perception that this nominee was in and was not going to win in the and so i think if his numbers continue to go way down below where hillary clinton there will be popular support for the idea of putting somebody else in there or having an open but i think if that happen and i think him firing his campaign manager is a recognition of the fact that they kneed to get things back on tough for them this one of the things that party people and professionals and insiders have to think about is the long they just afford to protest the way a lot of people can at the polls on one day every two and when pushed when out of the you can get in terrible like this where you get a sure or potentially a sure and a big not going

sometime this probably when as many americans as possible are tanning on a beach and not paying the white house is expected to release a version of a classified report on torture during the bush likely to become public is only the executive summary of the senate intelligence the entire five years in the clocks in at about making it the most exhaustive account yet of what really went on in secret cia prisons around the president obama has repeatedly said he favors declassifying the which the public really ought to and should he release the summary in something close to the form in which it was sent to then his decision will likely end an unusually public standoff between top senators and the each of whom accused the other of spying illegally as the report was being compiled and on the other obama delays the release much or bows to the intelligence community and decides to black out the most damaging then we may find ourselves on the brink of a serious escalation between the legislative and executive branches in washington a war over what kind of secrets the government should be allowed to keep more to the who gets to the doomsday device in this which the senate has rolled out a few times in the past but has never actually is an almost provision known as senate resolution the catchiest name but you hollywood thrillers have worked with a drastic measure now being openly discussed as a serious option inside the but before we get to all take a step back and consider really going on here given the nature of modern almost nothing specific from the report has actually leaked into public but according to insiders and some published there are two main headlines that emerge from both scathingly critical of the the first is contrary to the torture as an interrogation tactic that the infamous among other techniques actually work very the second is that intelligence officials lied outright to about those who have worked on or read the report sent to the white house say it contains explosive even given what we already know about the interrogation think the american people are going to be profoundly disturbed and genuinely shocked by the content of oregon senator ron an intel committee told me this you may came to office vowing to overturn and at the end of his first year in office he issued clear guidelines washington for declassifying one of the more interesting provisions in that in section was that the government would not be allowed to keep information classified in order to violations of or embarrassment to a organization or it seems like a pretty good considering in the that the cia has some concerns about violations of law and potential embarrassment to a organization or maybe even all but of course not what the john has told the president in arguing against according to people briefed on the brennan has argued that the report is deeply flawed and might lead to unrest around the jeopardizing agents in the field and national agency has written a detailed which is also likely to be made obama could reject this of and follow through on his repeated vows to lead the most transparent administration in but not a lot of optimism about that inside the committee or among open government given past deference to intelligence officials on issues like secret wiretaps and the expectation seems to be that the white house will approve some version of the report kind of like those maddening eminem songs you hear on fm faithful enough to get the basic point but with enough skips to be sure it shock easy enough to fault obama if what comes to but we have a structural problem when it comes to trusting the executive branch with in the age of more than at any time in the a president is always hearing that the risk of any disclosure is dire and immediate that releasing painful and embarrassing truths might trigger the next attack or ruin our chance to stop and if there is an even if it at all connected to that the president knows he will be squarely tremendous pressure to err on the side of and as you might the only intelligence the president is generally urged to declassify is that which exonerates the intelligence agencies or proves their point and often in instances when congressional overseers know more to the story and allowed to say so when you control the information that gets into the public you also control the this is where resolution potentially comes into when the senate passed that resolution in creating the select committee on it gave itself the extraordinary power to declassify information without the approval albeit with considerable in order to invoke that provision the intel chaired by california democrat dianne would first have to vote to bring the report before a rare closed session of the full if the president object in writing within five the full senate would then weigh the report in closed session and vote on whether to unilaterally declassify senators have gone through the initial process of invoking resolution in the the last time during george second but generally been considered a way of getting the attention rather than a realistic probably the main reason being trotted out no doubt some senators were willing to talk with me about it openly this week because trying to pressure the white but also a growing sense among senators if obama disclose the summary more or less as feinstein might be exasperated enough to actually ramp up the doomsday with the backing of some senior am going to use whatever tools it including senate res to declassify the torture wyden told me more than and compelling reason to do as the committee the report has already been redacted to protect cia the truth is that america has never been exceptionally adept at safeguarding basic values in the face of new and unfamiliar the government imprisoned more than americans of japanese descent in the aftermath of pearl it terrorized intellectuals at home and sanctioned assassinations abroad in those ominous years of the cold what learned is that sooner or later you have to acknowledge those transgressions in order to transcend as rhode sheldon a former

presidency is very much a work in or perhaps a work in regress from the rhetoric of his the candidate who skewered china as a currency manipulator is now the president who declared that china is not a currency the candidate critical of intervention in syria and of suspicion toward russia has now launched missiles into syria and blamed the russians for he no longer thinks that nato or the bank is he no longer cares whether president health care law is entirely or even mostly as long as he can pass something that send the whole system as i wrote a few weeks this is the actual story of these first days the story of a showman stunned by his own victory and trying to figure out whom he should listen to and how he wants to which leads me to what i think are some uncomfortable questions for particularly in my own if trump turns out to be serious about growing into the do we have the capacity to let as heard from a lot of angry readers over the past few are we already invested in watching him to be whatever presuppositions trump now faces among most of the reporters who cover him and among the solid majority of voters who disapprove of his job performance are of his own hard to suddenly start granting the benefit of the doubt to someone who so brazenly lies about things both mundane and also shown himself to be unserious about public so when he breezily declares that one how complicated this whole health care thing really hard to conclude that really coming to terms with what he or that suddenly more sober about governing than he was that being trump now finds himself in a box entrapped a lot of more experienced politicians before on one if he ignores sound advice and clings tenaciously to some of the theoretical positions he tossed out during the when he expect to win and was just sort of winging it half the his administration will become an experiment in reckless if trump were to start a trade war with and start deporting thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought here as and tear up the iran nuclear deal and the paris climate the results would make the carter years look like a time of quiet you want trump to honor every one of his promises out of some misguided sense of or because afraid steve bannon might smuggle a cobra into his briefcase if he but as soon as trump plants a toe near sensible ground on any of these he is immediately branded with that most overused epithet in american when he arrives at a more nuanced position on something like chinese currency or averting a government the deluge of stories that follow have little to say about the policy itself and a lot to say about how trump is either swerving erratically from his past positions or acknowledging political in never been a fan of the obsession in political journalism not only because it triggers my lethal allergy to if one thing that ought to be true about both politicians and that we should adjust our conclusions as the evidence ideological consistency at the expense of reason and experience a marker of proof that stopped sometimes politicians baldly sell out their convictions for political clinton on the partnership comes to but in a lot of other it seems to me we ought to grant political leaders the same right to evolve that we celebrate in pop stars or celebrity in the question of how to handle this evolution is more it gets to the heart of the issue with the media and a lot of his i which is whether actually willing to let him learn on the job of that he frequently hear detractors in both parties qualify their remarks by saying that of course love to see him transform into a successful the right thing to and there are good reasons for all of us to actually mean when the president america is safer and economically far better for your kids and if the president you disdained as a candidate turns out to be better at the job than you might have the only thing that comes from being right is but if being honest with myself about conflicted in and certain not because success would also validate a lot of values i find repugnant and starting with misogyny and a basic contempt for accumulated wisdom or expertise of any if trump were to become an popular it would send an even more resounding message to my kids as the election itself did that lying and bullying carry no that politics is entertainment by another it would mean the or at least the grave of objective it would vindicate the dangerous idea that america is strongest not as a global but as a symbol of ethnic where i come i think the chances are high that trump can somehow evolve into a wise president who unifies the country and understands the been trying to play baseball a lot of my and never hit a we are who we but i also think we can preclude the and in

dressed in user randyismartian wrote in a heavily upvoted a third shot just ted like most unsettling doppelgangers that emerge the observation went inspiring numerous blog posts and sarcastic jokes on social even got in on the posting the photo to twitter with the cruz in drag on the lie detector test was a not that the incident was just the latest entry in a conspiracy theory that mockingly questions whether the republican presidential candidate is really who he claims to be or whether he is actually the infamous serial murderer from northern california known as the zodiac the hypothesis first originated out of nowhere in early when a twitter account with the handle posted a nonsensical joke that upcoming speech at the conservative political action conference that year would be titled is the zodiac it took more than a year for the joke to resurface on the social media platform in a completely unrelated chilling deathbed am the zodiac user ending the post with the hashtag screen shot via know your meme by the fall of the joke had picked up steam on earning popularity from accounts like vrunt and lindzeta who say that the sheer absurdity of the conspiracy theory encouraged them to publicize it was hilarious to me when it first came on my told yahoo news in a direct logically definitely a part of it that seems like it could be so but cruz seems to have this evil lunatic hiding underneath his whole public it had just the right balance of possibility and in other it was perfect for the where preposterous ideas are often rewarded for the sake of being boaty mcboatface simply funny to act as if this is some open secret about told yahoo news in a direct this shared obvious lie and the only ticket to entry is to play jonathan a history undergraduate at arizona state was one such willing after seeing the joke on he was inspired to start a facebook group titled ted cruz is the zodiac killer in december thought it would be a good idea to start one in order to mobilize the masses and help expose a brutal murderer attempting to gain a stranglehold on what is left of american novak told yahoo news with what sounded like a straight the reaction has been about with the majority of responses being millennials who love the joke and share it with their and a vocal minority of older conservatives who get it and like to point out that cruz was not yet born when the murders through the novak met bo a high school student from who also felt passionately about perpetuating the the two promoted the page together as the joke simultaneously gained steam on on trended on the platform in the and by the meme had been picked up by publications like esquire and the daily that same public policy polling released a national survey that showed nearly percent of florida voters thought cruz might be the zodiac a fan submission to the cruz is the zodiac facebook via facebook with that uptick of novak and quintana began receiving a healthy stream of photoshopped images and homemade materials from fans of the some came in the form of elaborate cakes decorated with cruz is the zodiac in one college student used the premise for an art for which he made an elaborately produced whiteboard video that connects odd behavior to that of the zodiac a few high schoolers have even used the joke in signs to ask their dates to be killer if cruz to prom with read one poster board adorned with cryptographic symbols and the just this the group surpassed likes on a ted cruz as zodiac killer via facebook most intense submission was probably this incredible edit of the david fincher movie with ted eggs and filibuster speech imposed on novak he and quintana have taken to selling their own cruz is the zodiac stickers and but they say they quit until one of two things first one is that he would address it and deny that he was the zodiac because nothing more ridiculous to me than a legitimate presidential candidate that people vote for denying that he was a person he could never be in the first quintana second goal was to be bought out by buzzfeed for like two grand or but that so going with our guns and keeping with two are at least gratified to know that google appears t o have altered the autocomplete when searching the phrase ted meaning the campaign is attempting to combat the since the meme has gained it has also splintered into bit of a in

that opened the floodgates for other which include are not limited grandpa munster kevin malone from duke university basketball player grayson allen doubtfire and most recently the woman on photo via facebook but the original purveyors buying of those are and they simply distract us from the novak only other identity ted cruz plausibly has held besides being the infamous zodiac terrorizer of san

take long for them to there are three ways in which they will do over and the the story at the most basic trump and personal styles are alien to one trump usually speaks negatively about expressing and channeling anger and pointing out ryan approaches things with a more constructive and seeks to stress that rubs many trump supporters who see this as whistling past the graveyard the wrong trump campaigned as someone who would rip establishment washington up by the roots and create a new reality in the and much of his inaugural address continued this ryan prefers incremental and believes that

abedin used private email addresses might explain state puzzling response to several foia requests filed by gawker in the past two the first of those requests was sent by gawker in september trotter said the request sought correspondence between reines and a of in the wake of a exchange reines had with the late buzzfeed reporter michael hastings in request was confoundingly denied on the grounds that the state department had no record of job it was to communicate with hastings or any other journalists is currently appealing the trotter trotter also claimed a foia request from gawker to the state department asking for copies of correspondence was also in his reines suggested the idea private email addresses would prevent the state department from responding to foia requests for his communications with the media was a wild your cockamamie theory that the reason there is no record of my emailing with reporters is because i improperly used my personal email address to email with those reporters in an attempt to circumvent and that every one of the many reporters you reasonably assume i emailed with are in on this conspiracy of having only emailed with me on my reines sorts of media outlets reached out to including fox and the daily are they in on is everyone in on it aside from last business insider filed our own foia request asking the state department for records of communications with several news organizations from the start of until after clinton left her position as secretary of state in february a response sent to business insider by the state department on march indicated they would the request and that they do have records of emails with the circumstances the number and location of department components involved in responding to your the volume of requested may arise that would require additional time to process your the state department response the state which has been criticized for failing to respond to records requests related to clinton in a timely manner rejected business request for expedited processing and has not returned any records of ciaramella responded to reines and began with a greeting for the many reporters on the and hello jk and erik and brian and wonderful that we can all be he ciaramella went on to note if claim he use private is then the state department was lying through its teeth or wildly in its response to foia hillary clinton blackberry more of state hillary business insider reached out to the state department on wednesday to ask about its response to state department spokeswoman jennifer psaki did not immediately ciaramella concluded by pointing out that buzzfeed ben smith tweeted a claimed that reines used a private gmail account for his exchange with this would seem to be solid evidence reines was indeed using private email for state department reines responded with another email where he looped in me welcome ben to our little flat out reines emailed me that morning on my state i responded from my state i even added a second state state account to that and it entirely remained on our state accounts without my personal account being referenced or used in any but why let truth or facts get in the way of a good smith answered with an apology for the which he said was this is my i sorry for sewing smith have corresponded with philippe on his but this was not read the entire email exchange reines sent to business insider it was lightly edited for consistent formatting and to remove all personal contact email cj ciaramella philippe reines march comment on private email address at state dept hi this is cj a reporter for the washington free beacon and wondering if you have any response to this gawker article alleging that you and huma abedin used private email addresses to conduct official government business while at the state as sure you well not archiving official business conducted on a private email address is a violation of the federal records a foia request for your state emails is also currently being please email or number cj ciaramella email philippe reines cj erik brian nick merrill march email hi and hi since this fundamentally comes down to transparency and i thought go through an exercise together with erik wemple of the washington post and brian stelter of cnn included as in your which cj references you top staffers used those clinton email at the said the who has worked with clinton in the the source named two staffers in philippe reines and huma who are said to have used private email addresses in the course of their agency a pretty clear assertion by you through your source that they had firsthand knowledge of my having and using an email account on the you then were able to independantly verify that abedin used a address at some point in there are several email addresses associated with name in records maintained by one of them is an email sent to that address today went through without a few did you attempt to verify your assertion of my use of such an email using the same creepy methods you did with my close friend and colleague huma assuming you why your piece note the results of your creepy did you attempt to send an email to me at that and if so did it go without assuming you why you note the results of your if your lying liar pants on fire source worked with me at a federal agency as you and they did you ask them to provide even a single email exchange with my using that better in the off chance they have every single email they ever sent or have you availed yourself of the same foia laws to petition the lying agency for any email between them and me that you have with our i you either naively or knowingly swallowed quite the not sure which is not on the subject of you have to ask state about your but while i have you really hoping you can explain something to you wrote that use of private email addresses may explain the state puzzling response to several foia requests filed by gawker in the past two request was confoundingly denied on the grounds that the state department had no record of job it was to communicate with hastings or any other is your cockamamie theory that the reason there is no record of my emailing with reporters is because i improperly used my personal email address to email with those reporters in an attempt to circumvent and that every one of the many reporters you reasonably assume i emailed with are in on this conspiracy of having only emailed with me on my all sorts of media outlets reached out to including fox and the daily are they in on is everyone in on it aside from to answer your email is a two way be surprised how many reporters deliberately email government officials to their personal be equally surprised to know that when they i moved the exchange to my account between you and my personal account is about the last place i want to be emailing reporters or conducting which brings me to my last for both jk have either of you ever deliberately emailed a us government official anywhere other than their official address to discuss official us government if have you ever received an email from a us government official from anywhere other than their official address to discuss official us government if so did you ask them looking forward to your philippe email cj ciaramella philippe cj erik brian nick merrill march email hi and hello jk and erik and brian and wonderful that we can all be jk can speak to his but the reason interested in your response is because like you you use private email and copied any work messages to your then state is either lying through its teeth or wildly and flouting the freedom of information act either a distinct although note that ben smith tweeted out tonight that your exchange with michael hastings was conducted over a gmail cj ciaramella email philippe reines ben josh cj erik brian nick merrill march email good morning and let me welcome ben to our little flat out michael emailed me that morning on my state i responded from my state i even added a second state state account to that and it entirely remained on our state accounts without my personal account being referenced or used in any but why let truth or facts get in the way of a good and along those also added josh gerstein of politico since now noticing that he is simply swallowing dreck whole and stating it as and so gawker will be repeated over and over because someone flat out lied to them about my email claiming firsthand knowledge that i had an account that i never which was why i originally initiated this group still looking forward to as for your i understand your point and even your frustration but i simply address or explain any of the department has that however mean i and others be given the benefit of the as i think we can all usg officials are permitted to use accounts in the course of their there are reasons that an outsider could email you at your personal maybe because they only have that maybe their official email is on the maybe they lost their maybe they made a i but there are legitimate and there should be a measure of benefit of the doubt afforded to in four i must have sent and received nearly half a million the vast vast vast vast maybe four the overwhelming whatever term means closer to than where guessing my average if you want to skewer me over a i do much about from my if i were emailing with a i had to assume that it could end up in the public as the exchange with michael reminded me the very hard just the nature of the and what email account you use going to prevent not to mention that much of written to reporters is purposefully meant for the public domain since the and believe be far happier with you all having a field day poring through my largely boring and tedious than unfairly and erroneously reading that i intentionally undermined or circumvented the that frustrates me as much as state responses are frustrating hope this philippe email max read mar at am email keenan trotter john cook this seems feeling left email ben smith cj philippe cj erik brian nick merrill march email hey this is my i sorry for sewing i have corresponded with philippe on his but this was not ben update here are more emails in the thread that reines forwarded to business email trotter ben cj philippe cj erik brian nick huma abedin march email hi thanks for the here are the answers you did you attempt to verify your assertion of my use of such an email using the same creepy methods you did with my close friend and colleague huma assuming you why your piece note the results of your creepy i looked for but could not find a listed under your name on that is why i asked your nick about whether you actually possessed a he said you did and i included his statement in the same article to which you did you attempt to send an email to me at that and if so did it go through without assuming you why you note the results of your because i find a under your name and because your email was deliberately i decided to hold off on trying to email easily guessable usernames until we had heard back from only after merrill denied that you had a address did i discover that huma abedin had a for reasons that remain merrill only addressed questions concerning he repeatedly refused to address questions about abedin the one clinton staffer whose possession of a account has been publicly if your lying liar pants on fire source worked with me at a federal agency as you and they did you ask them to provide even a single email exchange with my using that neither i nor my source contended that they worked at a federal agency with they only claimed to be aware of the fact that closest aides used private email accounts to conduct official government based on their experience working with i worked to confirm that the source was and reported claim that you did not have a i included all of this in the very article to which you better in the off chance they have every single email they ever sent or have you availed yourself of the same foia laws to petition the lying agency for any email between them and me that you have with our i file a foia request for emails between you and the doing so would have put the name on the public and as you the state department often takes years to respond to even the most simple it is unlikely that such a request would have been fulfilled by is your cockamamie theory that the reason there is no record of my emailing with reporters is because i improperly used my personal email address to email with those reporters in an attempt to circumvent and that every one of the many reporters you reasonably assume i emailed with are in on this conspiracy of having only emailed with me on my all sorts of media outlets reached out to including fox and the daily are they in on is everyone in on it aside from my theory is if the state department has been repeatedly unable to locate records of known email exchanges for a reason other than institutional the reason might have to do with the the deliberate flouting of regulations by state department nobody has provided an alternative to answer your email is a two way be surprised how many reporters deliberately email government officials to their personal be equally surprised to know thatwhen they i moved the exchange to my account between you and my personal account is about the last place i want to be emailing reporters or conducting this is in an you were employed by the state department when gawker filed a foia request for correspondence between you and michael you were also employed by the state department when your agency denied that and yet you refuse to clarify why the state department could not locate a record of your exchange with have either of you ever deliberately emailed a us government official anywhere other than their official address to discuss official us government if have you ever received an email from a us government official from anywhere other than their official address to discuss official us government if so did you ask them now that addressed your would you mind answering were you made aware of foia request for correspondence between you and media which was submitted and later on the grounds that no record of the correspondence was you were a state department if when did you become aware of the why have several foia requests for known email exchanges been because no records of them were when clinton was secretary of why were you not given a but huma abedin how many people have and what are their you wrote that you received emails from reporters to your personal email while you were at did you take steps to ensure those records were preserved under the rules set by the national archives and records administration and the freedom of information did you conduct any other state department business on an email account other than your if did you take similar steps to preserve those emails as in your september exchange with michael he wrote in a message to i now understand what women say about any new complaints against you what was he referring i also have a few questions for your colleague huma abedin on this why were you given a email what do you use this email address did you use this email address for official state department why do two of your nick merrill and philippe refuse to answer any questions about your possession of a thanks keenan email philippe reines ben cj cj erik brian nick michael dylan byer march email i ask why you include i asked you why you include the results of your implication being you intentionally omitted anything that would refute your and they say spokespeople are completely understandable given how very difficult and costly email is to send and you only have so many you can send a not to mention the horrific consequences of a glad you take how about me and lying liar source take a trip to the polygraph the three of us strap in and we let the needle loser pays and issues a public i need to know their identity until they cockamamie is it your belief that i orchestrated this from private life months after leaving my job at if is it your belief that my long reach would rig something as implausibly stupid as the reply you just i it put me in a worse light than if they had just ignored email talk about implausibly stupid you would have to be the only reporter in america to claim if true very to your sometime after i left recall the specific probably from your reporting will surprise you to know that you i are in complete agreement on this you can ask me this over and over and i still answer with you on this i sent i received lots of email so you have to ask the foia people what the problem if you find let me know because as frustrating to me as and suffering from it more than i need a personal i had not their it but nobody else at michael tweeted what was my preferred and as erik wemple he emailed me several times at state in and i replied from state every my personal email was the last place i wanted reporters no i addressed this in my email to biggest reason people used a personal account was because their work email was which happened maddeningly not and often in those cases be emailing another state person whose email worked so it would be and then when yours came back thank really glad you for two my third biggest regret about that exchange the first being having it at second being losing my cool was not replying one last time to respond to that i know what he was referring and given his death reluctant to but i think he was referencing a rumor that stemmed from fox reporter being removed from the state beat because of a sexual harassment charge against him by a and said reporter tried to blame which never made sense why he thought that would but i guess it kinda did if asking me more than two years but the real reason i am thrilled you asked is because in one sentence revealed your lack of low standards and sheer cruel the purest window into your motivations and credibility you could possibly have better than anything highlighted so so thank but sign off by reiterating our common your foia request should be resolved in a manner far less ridiculous than it has been to if such thing as an amicus brief for foia count me or better jointly sign a new request for my philippe to your questions about i just understand what the big deal what do you care if she had that one or gmail or makes no difference to anything now things you know your iphone

labor for and that the government has not been enforcing immigration laws and making a good faith effort toward think immigration was a huge and it was not necessarily just republican and democrat but largely an power because in some of these areas immigrants are taking jobs from in many cases minority races are competing with immigrants for and they tend to be and then got the republicans who ideologically oppose some of the immigration because it waters down the it changes the things like sentiment in the united kobes stems in part from of the but there are also and when immigrants he

have a hispanic community here in sioux but we also have a growing african and there are social issues associated with some of it i think is unfair but some of it just kobes said dishonesty of the is

alleged watering down of culture is not one of he was asked to elaborate in an questionnaire compiled by the senate judiciary committee on he said it would be inappropriate for him to offer political

receives an of percent largely some largely roman catholic and not new kobes that i was suggesting that including my face a variety of changes and challenges associated with these include providing social and religious educational employment and many it seemed to me beyond dispute that immigration changes a respect to my it was my view that the community was more more and more successful in than it was in the when i was growing with respect to that good things have referencing comment that there are and losers when immigrants move harris asked the judicial nominee to explain how some people become and others become as a result of that it seemed to me at the time that the immigrants themselves are generally as is the community as a the economy as a whole in owners of certain industries that require labor that cannot be supplied by the current in south for the tourism industry and the dairy among are in need of additional is also indicating that immigrants negatively impact the wages of some american to the best of my knowledge there is no overall agreement on this but it is certainly the case that many in the political and academic worlds contend that immigration can lower wages for certain groups of workers already in the united dianne asked him what he meant by saying that there are some who ideologically oppose some of the immigration because it waters down the she asked how immigration down he answered by saying that he think it does but was simply explaining one facet of the immigration consider such arguments to be the sort of opposition to immigration that i referred to using such terms as and kobes when asked about the issues with the growing hispanic and african community in sioux kobes was referring to a variety of issues related to the arrival of

to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time was just becoming part of the public he was not ever in the vanguard of the but he saw that there was public support for it and he could do

jon ward senior political correspondent yahoo news march donald trump meets with house speaker paul ryan at the capitol on by zach more washington paul leadership has long been questioned by republicans who think politically and the current health care fight is raising new concerns about political as the republican speaker of the house faces the toughest test of his the wisconsin republican has always prioritized ideas and policy details above political and often been part of his the latest as the gop health care bill came under fire last ryan held an briefing with reporters and conducted a seminar on the details of the the effort failed to impress some so who thought it was a good idea for him to do a power point scoffed one republican consultant with years of experience in congressional presentation fell far short of the way on the hill think about getting legislation it takes votes to pass a bill in the and lawmakers charged with rounding up called take years to hone the skills and mindset needed to count votes and keep members in former house speaker john boehner did not acquire those skills before taking the post of in contrast to the house majority leader at the eric boehner rose to a leadership position by becoming a committee where he learned how to build consensus around a set of came up through the whip particularly those who worked for considered that lack of experience counting votes made him a less effective like ryan made a name for himself by staking a claim on bold policy and by chairing first the house budget committee and then the ways and means which oversees tax he was the first republican to propose a detailed plan publicly for sweeping changes to medicare and social in and he was successful in getting the gop to follow his lead on these his stature was sealed in when the gop presidential mitt chose ryan as his running but since he became speaker in the fall of a job the old ryan did not really want he has ignored suggestions from some republicans to bring a seasoned political operative or two into his according to one source familiar with the chief of jonathan is a policy his top brendan has spent most of his career on capitol and his focus is largely on rather than developing a or nationalized political which is what many of the allies think he kevin who runs political has spent most of his young career working for paul ryan aaron more but ryan often spurned making decisions based on political he has felt that that if he figures out what he believes is the right thing to states it clearly and leads the way others will ryan learned that lesson after seeing how boehner and other gop leaders initially shunned his entitlement reform plan it was too politically but then ultimately embraced that experience has shaped his leadership lack of guile was evident in his approach to trump during the republican he made no secret of his distaste for unlike senate majority leader mitch who kept a low profile and kept his comments positive or negative to a ryan adopted a moral essentially after the tape that he would not consider supporting he was ultimately pulled into orbit by the force of political in taking a position that he he did damage both to his own image and to his relationship with the incoming ryan has also never been inclined to crack the whip on recalcitrant house members who defy the priorities of their not by to be confrontational or as evidence of political his office pointed to the passage of four budget proposals under his as well as trade promotion the budget deal he shepherded through congress in bipartisan fashion with patty in and legislation last year to avoid a debt crisis in puerto ryan is and respected by most republicans in the and has some goodwill among democrats deputies house majority leader kevin and house majority whip steve are an effective but on a major effort like the repeal and replacement of president barack health care ryan will have to be just as involved in whipping votes as the rest of his when democrats passed the affordable care act in nancy and senate majority leader harry were intimately involved in rounding up knew the vote said faiz a former reid it was a they were percent they knew what the vote counts were making the tensions with trump persist and are driving concerns that the president will back away from the current effort and leave ryan holding the whether trump could get away with simply blaming ryan for a failed effort is an open but breitbart a published a piece this week clearly laying the groundwork for such a top steve ran breitbart news until joining the trump campaign last and his hostility to ryan is no he often referred to ryan as during breitbart conference and discussed his hopes of driving ryan out of the even without the prospect of a republican president turning against ryan has never faced a challenge on the scale of the current health care the bill has been attacked by conservatives for by moderates for its cuts to and is now facing increasing criticism from allies outside the white who are blaming ryan for the rocky figures things out pretty and i think figuring out this how the house republicans did him a christopher ruddy the publisher of newsmax and a personal friend of told the washington paul ryan aaron more even those who are friendly to ryan see much that could have been done some questions about approach that political professionals might maybe you should do it this said one republican who oversaw a presidential are a lot of people talking about not just in but in big state being the are they multiple republican political figures told yahoo news that the key to passing health care is getting trump to get fully and publicly behind and that the bill should have been presented at the white with trump as the chief from the real solution is to either going to own this and demand that this goes or pulling said another republican operative who ran a presidential if trump does not decide to embrace the the republican then ryan should go back and start over with something more palatable to the right even if that means the bill might pass the house but fail in the you get into that kind of contest with i think the republican on wednesday night in trump made supportive comments about the effort house has put forward a plan to repeal and replace based on the principles i outlined in my joint he but his remarks wandered across a number of different and the president has yet to devote the full focus of his rhetorical firepower on pushing the bill toward the finish in a television interview that aired late trump equivocated when asked if he stands by the details of the health care fox tucker carlson pressed him about a bloomberg news study that showed that the legislation would benefit counties that voted for the democratic presidential hillary more than it would benefit those that voted for will take care of our or not signing just so

dismissed it had no lasting impact on the offensive true politically correct speech america has for the past two years been having a national debate about what the appropriate boundaries of public discourse ought to at the heart of this conflict is not just the question of who says what about and how but a fundamental transformation in the technologies of speech over the past decade that has changed how the conversation itself is these changes have decreased perceived freedom of speech at the same time that they have magnified once marginal positions to create a novel public speech environment that can seem at once stiflingly conformist and shockingly and in the process of carving new public squares out of the once private realm of social the new social technologies have made politicians of us subject to the same strictures on speech that formerly only truly public figures had to be concerned community is evolving from its origin connecting us with family and friends to now becoming a source of news and public discourse as noted facebook founder mark zuckerberg in his lengthy february letter to the incursion into slate tech columnist will oremus has called it and similar efforts from other major social media by fundamentally reshaped how we have conversations with each moving casual speech from the auditory ether to the realm of the and it has vastly expanded

would today call fake news like the swift boat attacks on john kerry in the ability of partisan actors to manipulate the newly fragmented and increasingly digital media the last few pollsters and

public and potentially contestable than ever we are increasingly cocooned in digital media worlds that reflect and reinforce our own and we increasingly live in physically atomized and homogenized communities that reflect our own values back to as bill bishop documented so well in the big why the clustering of america is tearing us apart these dynamics work in dark synergy to amp up political also contributing to the divisions are two political worth of gerrymandering that have led to a congressional map where seats often are more vigorously contested from the intraparty extremes in

facebook stands for bringing us closer together and building a global broad theory was the opposite of the technocratic utopianism of zuckerberg and other digital proximity and visibility can increase as old ways of living feel themselves to be under assault and people dig in to defend their globalism gives birth to the vision of a world community leading to a hardening of the lines around those

the opposite actually deepen polarization by framing other perspectives as zuckerberg noted in his february suggests the best solutions for improving discourse may come from getting to know each other as whole people instead of just opinions something facebook may be uniquely suited to if we connect with people about what we have in common sports tv interests it is easier to have dialogue about what we disagree facebook would be rolling out tools and a new focus on and groups to build these alternative the big question is if ever going to be possible for this kind of reconciliation and shared understanding to happen thanks to the inherent dynamics of the medium he helped it can be harder to see other people as real in a world that is all too often where people are performing for an where there are grave questions about whether the communities we are partaking of are real and where people routinely say things to each other with a vehemence and passion as much a factor of the

want for this is about and i join those who are rejecting the calls for taking a wait and see or giving trump a trump is a demagogue who channeled virulent hate to capture the presidency and ensure the republicans retained control of a man who thinks that people like me and the people i love should not exist is not a man i am interested in trying to reason this is a man who just appointed a

illustrates a breakdown that was never properly the inability to address the communication insecurities until after sources were rolled up in china was still dealing with the said one former national security of people around the world were killed because of one of the largest intelligence failures of the past decade started in iran in when the obama administration announced the discovery of a secret iranian underground enrichment facility part of headlong drive for nuclear angered about the the iranians went on a mole looking for foreign said one former senior intelligence the mole hunt in large because the communications system the cia was using to communicate with agents was former officials said the which was first used in war zones in the middle was not built to withstand the sophisticated counterintelligence efforts of a state actor like china or was never meant to be used long term for people to talk to said one former issue was that it was working well for too with too many but it was an elementary was using it far beyond its said another former the risks posed by the system appeared to have been overlooked in part because it was easy to said the former intelligence there is no foolproof way to communicate especially with expediency and urgency with sources in hostile environments like iran and noted the former but a sense of confidence in the system kept it in operation far longer than was safe or said former the directorate of science and which is responsible for the secure communications but obviously said one former by it appears that iran had begun to identify cia and by iranian authorities dismantled a cia spy network in that said seven former intelligence in may iranian intelligence officials announced publicly that they had broken up a ring of cia officials later confirmed the breach to abc news which also reported on a potential compromise to the communications iran executed some of the cia informants and imprisoned others in an intelligence setback that one of the former officials described as the cia successfully exfiltrated some of its iranian said former the iranian compromise led to significantly fewer cia agents being killed than in according to former the events there hampered the capacity to collect intelligence in iran at a critical just as tehran was forging ahead with its nuclear authorities believe iran probably unwound the asset network analytically meaning they deduced what washington knew about own then identified iranians who held that and eventually zeroed in on possible this hunt for cia sources eventually bore fruit including the identification of the covert communications a iranian television broadcast that touted the destruction of the cia network said intelligence operatives had created websites for fake companies to recruit agents in iran by promising them visas and education iranians who initially thought they were responding to legitimate opportunities would end up meeting with cia officers in places like dubai or istanbul for according to the though the iranians say precisely how they infiltrated the two former intelligence officials said that the iranians cultivated a double agent who led them to the secret cia communications this online system allowed cia officers and their sources to communicate remotely in difficult operational environments like china and where meetings are often a lack of proper vetting of sources may have led to the cia inadvertently running a double said one former senior official a consequence of the pressing need at the time to develop highly placed agents inside the islamic after this israeli intelligence tipped off the cia that iran had likely identified some of its said the same former the losses could have stopped but officials believe iranian intelligence was then able to compromise the covert communications at the there was and about the simplicity of the technique the iranians used to successfully compromise the said one former in the iranians used google to identify the website the cia was using to communicate with because google is continuously scraping the internet for information about all the it can function as a tremendous investigative tool even for and search functions allow users to employ advanced operators like and much more sophisticated ones that weed out and isolate websites and online data with extreme according to the former intelligence once the iranian double agent showed iranian intelligence the website used to communicate with his or her cia they began to scour the internet for websites with similar digital signifiers or components eventually hitting on the right string of advanced search terms to locate other secret cia from iranian intelligence tracked who was visiting these and from and began to unravel the wider cia intelligence officials were well aware of formidable but they were flabbergasted that iran managed to extirpate an entire cia spy network using a technique that one official described as rudimentary something found in basic but the events in iran were not they coincided roughly with a similar debacle in china in and where authorities rounded up and executed around agents working for the new york times first reported the extirpation of the china sources in may some intelligence officials also believe that former cia officer jerry who was charged with spying on behalf of the chinese government in may was partially responsible for the destruction of the source but betrayal does not explain the extent of the or the rapidity with which chinese intelligence was able to identify and destroy the said former officials believe that chinese intelligence obtained physical access to the or secret communications system used by the cia to correspond with unvetted sources and broke through the firewall separating it from the main covert communications compromising the entire asset network in that foreign policy reported earlier this year not clear whether china and iran but the former officials said the communications systems used in both countries were the two governments may have broken the system but chinese and russian officials were engaged in communications on cyber issues around this recalled one former senior intelligence official that were suspicious in the cia declined to the iranian mission to the un did not respond to requests for some intel officials took the interactions as an indicator of enhanced open coordination among these and even a nascent alliance against the and its five eyes intelligence this person officials also believe chinese officials subsequently shared information about their penetration of the secret cia system with their russian adversaries dramatically upped their in their offensive hacking including those geared toward cracking the covert communications during this said another former senior intelligence this almost certainly included information sharing between these countries on covert communications said multiple former officials the makings of a of there were discrete signs of potential around the time of the purges of cia informants in iran and senior officials from ministry of state security visited their counterparts in said four former some officials believe the two countries engaged in a trade perhaps with iran providing china with the technical information needed to pinpoint signs of online activity on the communications in exchange for military speculated one former the spy service said another former with dawning officials realized that once iranian or chinese intelligence officials were able to pinpoint cia assets within their own they were almost certainly capable of zeroing in on similar digital signatures in other former officials former officials said the fallout from the compromises was likely global in scope potentially endangering all cia sources that used some version of this system establish these networks that are obviously critical to our ability to really understand what our adversaries are up to a pride in that and when something that valuable starts to fall the concern we developing a house of said one former senior lot of bells went during this said this because methods and procedures we were using were in jeopardy because of what the chinese and iranians had you find that these overlapping failures of the communication system created systemic problems for the was a cascade of effects that flowed from the initial said another former intelligence of the problem was trying to figure out the second and third order of repairing this breach had to be approached with extraordinary delicacy because attempted fixes can expose iran or china could then target and flip those cia or use information about them as bargaining chips with other intelligence former officials around this iranian intelligence officials also began aggressively pitching cia officers to become double agents that they had somehow identified agency potentially through this wider said one former intel one country where the impact appears to have been contained is cia officials who focus on russia knew about the china ordeal and quickly adjusted their communications with sources some of the former officials aspects of the russia operations have historically been walled off from the rest of the which likely helped minimize the but the issue was so acute in the middle east that the cia was forced to suspend its use of covert communications systems there several the problems were exacerbated by increasingly aggressive iranian the iranians very good one former official and were adept at into communications in the such as between iraqi forces and their american starting around iranian cyber experts seemed to be tracking cia agents outside their own including in where iran eventually compromised the covert communications system said one of the former during this emergency meetings had to be scheduled at the agency because the iranians had into systems outright that had nothing to do with said this person that those beyond iran was aggressively going out to hunt systems the former official just protecting themselves as iran was making fast inroads into the covert communications back in washington an internal complaint by a government contractor warning officials about precisely what was happening was winding its way through a kafkaesque appeals in well before the iranians had arrested any agents a defense contractor named john whose job it was to contact and manage human sources for the cia in had already sounded an alarm about a intelligence having to do with with according to publicly available but heavily redacted whistleblower by he said he was told that the he had warned about regarding the secret communications platform in reidy refused to discuss his case with yahoo but two former government officials directly familiar with his disclosure and the investigation into the compromises in china and iran tell yahoo news that reidy had identified the weaknesses and early compromise that eventually befell the entire covert communications case was after he blew the he was moved off of his subcontract with a virginia company that works on government information technology products and according to the public he contacted the cia inspector general and congressional investigators about his employment status but was met with partially because whistleblower protections are complicated for federal and he remained throughout and the compromise continued to and reidy provided details to but by november reidy was fired because of what his superiors said were conflicts of as reidy maintained his own side reidy believed the real reason was in his appeal to the intelligence community inspector first published by mcclatchy news reidy describes the first signs of compromise in stunning detail though it was unclear at the because of what was what issue he was our efforts we started to notice anomalies in our operations sources abruptly and without reason ceasing all communications with he he was deeply wrong with the human sources the communications infrastructure was under he

launched an the deaths in china sent investigators into teams from the the fbi and the house permanent select committee on intelligence scrambled to try to figure out what had happened and how to stem

about the merits of versus methods of communicating with within some corners of the intelligence was a widely held belief that technology was the solution to all communications according to one of the

scope of his presidential pardoning specifically whether he can pardon his top family members and according to the washington trump declared saturday on twitter that the president holds the complete power to pardon so the issue is on his but when lawyer jay sekulow was asked about the tweet on he said that he had not discussed pardons with the not researching the because the issue of pardons is not on the sekulow nothing to pardon recent foray into exploring the scope of a power to pardon has touched off debates among constitutional law experts over whether the commander in chief can pardon some say he can because not explicitly prohibited in the others cite a department of justice memo as the watergate investigation was closing in on president richard which held that the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own the president cannot pardon but michigan state university law professor brian an expert on constitutional law who has been writing for the past years on presidential says the question is very much in an interview with yahoo kalt explains the power to historical precedents and how a pardon could affect independent counsel robert investigation into the trump ties to what is a presidential brian the constitution section says the president has the power to target offenses against the in cases of federal the president has the power to preempt or undo some part of federal if convicted of a crime sentenced to some sentence and maybe for the rest of your life restricted in certain you or you have a something like nine times out of a presidential pardon is someone in that situation i committed a crime but it was a long time and done good things since do you think you could forgive me for this and restore my civil typically how and it goes to department of justice and the president really see processes it for him and he just signs off on but the president could also use that power to prevent someone from staying in so in the middle of being the president could commute the sentence and get him the president earlier in the stop a the president can pardon someone before been been and that would prevent the prosecution from even preempting or undoing some part of federal president trump more can the president pardon been writing about this for and it just amuses me any time i see people of course he or of course he the answer is we any court that took this it would be appealed up to the supreme and they could do whatever they i favor the argument that he but there are good arguments on both it could go either the basic argument on the side that says he can do it look at the constitution and it say he it says he can pardon federal it says in another clause he pardon an impeachment he stop or undo an those are the only there are two main arguments pushing back at a pardon has to be a so there are certain limits just inherent in the fact that something we call the you pardon someone for a future if the president pardoning you for what going to do next it be the court respect even though the constitution specifically say that not for argument it would be inherent that something you give to someone else and it has to be bilateral in that like a you donate something to the other main argument is this old legal principle that you be the judge of your own and got to hand it over to someone else to has a president tried to pardon himself why we because never been the closest we came was nixon he asked his lawyer fred are my his lawyer could you could pardon yourself and then but the department of who would have been prosecuting presumably after he left office analyzed it and said they could prosecute him after he left office even if he pardoned that be valid if he pardoned can he be prosecuted while in president richard nixon speaks at the associated press managing annual nixon told the am not a more the constitution say you so people there was something that said presidents are immune while in then but so prosecute other people say kind of weird head of executive branch and the executive branch would be prosecuting so he could fire the special counsel or prosecuting when nixon was being investigated under the watergate grand indicted a lot of but they indict they know if they could do it and they want to press their president clinton was in a similar it looked like doj waiting for him to leave office to prosecute and they cut a deal the day before he left office and settled that can the president pardon his aides family it seems like he has much more leeway to do president clinton pardoned his own brother who was arrested and imprisoned on drug that was controversial because people thought that was but no one thought he do that just because it was his there are limits on the pardon power besides whether the pardon is valid or one of them is president needs political and doing something like pardoning your family members or pardoning yourself would damage you politically in most on the other the possibility a just because you could pardon people and the pardon could stick mean if pardon corrupt that they prosecute if i gave the president million to pardon the pardon would but a and would if president doing it in a way obstructing one important point that i think gets missed a people talk about the pardon power pardons are for guilty if you accept a pardon admitting percent of the time what a pardon but pardons are used to exonerate exhausted all their new evidence comes the court look at the president can issuing a pardon because this person is actually you can imagine the president special prosecutor has gone too this is a witch this is fake this is all a bunch of inappropriate use of the i have the power to stop it going to use that you can imagine at least percent of the country would this is put yourself in the shoes of someone being say you are sure innocent but being prosecuted if the president pardoned you would probably take why take the if the president successfully pardoned his top aides or family what would that mean in terms of a political donald trump stands with his children ivanka and donald during press conference at trump tower in new york on timothy more every once in a while people talk about amending the constitution to restrict pardon the president has the pardon power because politically the fact of the matter is the constitution get amended for stuff like but you can imagine a very controversial pardon might spur the amendment congress there have been some abuses here pass an amendment to restrict some pardon in certain matters the president can pardon but the senate has to approve but even it would be but clinton did his controversial and there was a big fuss about it and now no one talks about the historical precedent for these controversial i would say probably the controversial pardon was when ford pardoned he did it in and he still had to run for reelection and he and it probably cost him the the way supposed to the president did it because he thought it was the right thing to and he was so that one blow that haunted ford for the rest of his but it was probably the right thing to i think got to be the most controversial because it cost him the once can you be prosecuted in the the state can prosecute you the pardon would have to specify what it pardon of nixon was pretty it was for anything did or might have done as but if it said something pardon you for your role in the then they might still be able to prosecute me for anything else i did of or lying to so you have to look at the terms of the pardon and see what falls under but basically if pardoned and you already been then you whatever says then it covers but that still leaves and it still leaves what is the timeline for a the usual process is that it goes through the department of it takes and they make a but if the president wants to pardon basically all you have to do is take out a piece of maybe you can even tweet if got the right all you have to say donald as president of the united hereby pardon so and so for such and such and then sign and the timeline is whatever the president wants it to a situation in which a president could get a how likely is the amendment scenario which vice president mike pence steps in and then pardons vice president mike pence watches as president trump departs the white house on his trip to the middle east and may more what in my law school said why would you go out of the way to pardon yourself when you could just do having a colonoscopy and going to hand over power to the vice and then the vice president pardons and then you come back and be president a great example of the most important check on the pardon power being it would be a tremendous political black eye to try and do something like you would think they would do that if they thought they could get away with it or if they had nothing to they might try and do it if they thought they could get away with if they had nothing to then not something worth as a legal matter i see any reason why they do the pardons would you could say they made a a conspiracy to obstruct justice but the pardons would i know why mike pence would want to stick his neck out like not one of the people who has nothing to and the one person trump you mentioned this earlier the justice department has a memo stating that the president cannot pardon what does that memo mean if trump tries to pardon is it binding in any not its value is that it is potentially persuasive to say a the department of and smart people looked into it and this is what they it would be a weight on the but it present any kind of insurmountable how would pardons affect fifth amendment one drawback to pardoning people if trying to derail an say the president tries to pardon his and you now mueller go after him and but mueller can still he prosecute now that kushner is he plead the that means more likely to have to testify and that protection giving to him comes at the cost of exposing everyone he would then be forced to testify the cynical answer is in exchange for his loyalty he would testify in a way that incriminate but the fact of the matter is they take the that provides an important exposing everyone above him in the if a possibility of state then you might still plead the been pardoned but i want to incriminate myself as far as any state so not going to talk to but you could get around that by take your testimony and not share it with the and this would only apply to things the person was pardoned what are the chances that trump actually pardons someone in his or that he pardons white house senior adviser jared kushner arrives on capitol hill july to meet behind closed doors with the senate intelligence committee on the investigation into possible collusion between russian officials and the trump more time and time when i try and predict what donald trump will i surely he would never do and then he given up estimating the extent of his ambition or what i thought were political barriers to doing he would probably not use the pardon power until or unless it really starts to get in other he do it at this once people are once it looks like going to be even then a question of who does he feel like he needs to if it came to i think he would hesitate to do this is a fault in my analysis i just assumed politically it would be be suicide to pardon your own inner circle like but public opinion is so divided and people view the news in such polarized and mutually exclusive i could see him not bailing out my corrupt protecting them from the other side being corrupt and inappropriate and of course going to do the right thing if you have enough people in congress the republican majority would have to be against it then you get away with i think he could get away with a lot more politically than i ever imagined a president would that person have to accept a sometimes the president issues a pardon if you do then in that the person can i want to do so i accept the in that you can say it has to be but there are other cases where the president for president there was a guy who was about to executed and eisenhower commuted his sentence and him a life sentence and execute want a life rather be the court not up to you to accept it or not a pardon have to be accepted even though there are a lot of contexts in which it if the president wants it to happen without the person accepting there are ways he can do how could a pardon affect the independent it would reduce the number of targets for but it would expand the amount of testimony they could the question is how many targets are left versus how much testimony does it open what about any congressional where the constitution specifically says pardons apply to you do anything to an impeachment if it could add fuel to the fire for an and the donald trump senate hearings this power to investigate and to impeach are totally outside of the reach of the pardon chief walter shaub tweeted that we should never underestimate the willingness of the office of legal counsel to revise its views when the white house finds them your response to but never underestimate willingness of which issued torture memo nepotized to revise its views when wh finds rule of law annoying walter shaub july that sounds pretty cynical to but the line between cynical and realistic is getting thinner every i put it that but i disagree with what are people missing when looking at this question of trump and presidential people paying enough attention to the possibility of state the attorney general of new york no friend of and nothing can do about stopping state he pardon it people ignore this as but i think they need to emphasize it when it comes to presidents and their accountability for their potentially criminal first and foremost and first and foremost up to congress and whether going to the independent counsel can prosecute all sorts of but he do anything to the president without congress going we saw that with ken starr investigated he took his report and he sent it to congress helped the impeachment could a court challenge a it would have to come up where the president pardoned himself and the prosecutor went after him the court would have to decide at that point if the president pardon we if he did pardon himself and they try to we but if he pardons himself and they try to prosecute him then we or if they start to and they ask the as long as not the court will weigh once they read more from yahoo trump

knocking off new moderate republican clifford in a lost the general election to a guy named bill despite drawing diagrams of the laffer curve all over the in his last kristol told bell became an ardent internationalist and a vocal defender of was one of the impressive things about the american conservative kristol mused as we sat in his surrounded by a of political tracts from the last few had a lot of interesting characters with combinations of views that from the outside you might not always think would go but it was a genuinely vibrant movement and pretty good pretty good at policing its by kristol whose helped found the neoconservative movement that stood for expansionist military policy abroad and a rejection of cultural liberalism at home mean borders in the sense that president trump talks about he meant the borders that separated conservatives from reactionary fought against buchanan in the kristol fought against ron we were kemp on race we tried to prevent that virus from being too or dominant at american history has always had elements of what we now think of as kristol went george father not as if these things always and they were the big difference is trump is of joe mccarthy being the nominee in and he that is where we kristol and i were talking a few days after the venerable activist conference known as cpac left this gathering seemed to have severed the last narrow isthmus connecting upbeat conservative movement to the new mainland of irate among the speakers at cpac addition to trump and vice president mike were marion the youngest in a

in the context of roy moore trump the message could not have been a year into republican activists in the rest of the country seem to have rallied around his politics of while in conservative thinkers who once ran the country huddle together in now kristol and his contemporaries who find themselves on the frontier side of the i asked kristol if he could still call himself a and whether he would if trump was reelected in the answer to the first he was the answer to the second was i wondered whether he held himself at all culpable in having led us to where we he looked a little agonized by the he answered to some kristol think the failures of republican governance led to a distrust of republican which is fair i myself am part of that for all the ubiquity of the there are myriad meanings to the hashtag inside the disenchanted conservative some of the longtime republican leaders who took a stand against trump during the campaign take the view that actually meant least not until he these republican insiders wake up every morning looking for reasons to support the and except for the odd day when congress passes a tax cut generally go to bed on the other side are the conservatives who see trump as a kind of vichy government leader whose occupation of washington must not be they castigate friends who work in the administration as traitors to the if not the kristol is mostly in the second fine with even grateful for figures like the national security or the defense james who have chosen to serve in mitigate the danger of a trump and in a way that is truly remarkable for a guy who was once vice president dan chief of kristol uses twitter and his platform at the standard to launch an unrelenting assault on his own you could say he is the clearest and most credible voice of republican resistance in as strange is the fact that a lot of the liberals who used to detest kristol for his outspoken support of george foreign policy are now retweeting him daily and generally holding him out as an example of trump has a way of building unlikely has the character of a con man or kristol said of the really bad for the country to have a demagogue as even if a demagogue who percent or percent or percent of his policies are defensible or even absolutist on kristol told be we should limit the damage he can do as and we should try as hard as we can to prevent him from being renominated or to that kristol has begun talking to conservatives about mounting a serious primary challenge or even an independent bid in his highest draft pick at the moment would be nikki who might be the perfect insurgent save for the troubling fact as of she is still not you can know it was an kristol an aberration from which one has to learn not trying to say there elements of conservatism that were there already that trump brought to light that we have to rethink certain the way i think about we could try to make it more of a parenthesis than an inflection more of an unfortunate interruption in an otherwise honorable when that movement got its back in the kristol and his contemporaries were the interlopers of their day worshiping of william buckley and contemptuous of the mushy old they wrested power mainly by following jeff example and threatening to primary their leaders into of supporters who are terrifying elected republicans with the specter of hostile and republican leaders who once opposed the president are flying white flags of who saw himself as a kingmaker in the once touted to me the potential for politicians like chris marco rudy giuliani and paul now he admits to being stung by all of their betrayals and especially the complicity of speaker who was once the sober voice of budget reform in before passing policies in recent weeks that will make any real reform all but has been disappointing to kristol not sure any speaker would have been much i had hoped ryan would be better than the i think just turned out to be closer to the mean of house republican kristol has lost some old in the conservative everyone is making the choices they have to make in the and longtime relationships are fast many years kristol hired a young writer named tucker carlson at the he appeared regularly on cable tv in the two got into a nasty over fox on which the once thoughtful host has lately reshaped himself into more of a trumpian in an interview with john accused carlson of and coming to at carlson called kristol a coward for not coming on the are people who were friends who are now kristol told me with people who were acquaintances who i now see much at harder for kristol than facing the judgment of some old is facing the verdict of the war in for which kristol himself famously whipped up probably did as much to corrode faith in the good intentions of as watergate did three decades if it then the financial collapse of brought on by a kind of reckless disregard in certainly finished the absent these cataclysmic trump could not have existed as a political hard to imagine a world in which cultural conservatives would have looked past all the things that made trump unpalatable the new york the crudeness caught on the disregard for conservative orthodoxy were it not for their intense and rage at the establishment he ran kristol like to acknowledge the failure of his own promises about quick to pivot to the troop that came which he says was an unqualified but he agrees that the unrest in the party was largely a result of failed why people like me were sort of friendly to the tea party because we thought it was an understandable and an important kristol i suggested that by trying to use the resentment of popular by playing to elements of the base with and xenophobic rhetoric over the he and other conservative strategists had made credible demagogic he on the other what would it have meant not to use they were and republicans were the less so you were going to get everything from responsible skepticism toward government to insane but they were still going to vote before i could untangle this line of thought that if people were going to vote for you there was really no point in telling them they were wrong kristol got down to the said all i think there was probably a little too much fuzzing of those lines and failure to educate our own so to he republican elites were a little more discredited than

deal with racial and economic inequality in and a push for transparency in government walker becoming the first independent to win a city council seat since in the mayor is selected by the five city council members from their and walker was becoming the first black female this is the crux of the city cannot move forward until the wealthy and powerful refuse to accept conditions for the black and

the police and fire chief have told her they feel better prepared for a repeat of the united the right but worried that the city has made itself a vulnerable the way forward is citizens of charlottesville living their lives pushing for she think even during the civil rights where you get to the point where won a little bit the voting rights the civil rights things like brown the board

there are still house special elections in ohio and texas to obsess over in the months so why should anyone in the rest of the country care what happens in the california on the case particularly even in few voters seem to be paying attention and the state is such an outlier in so many ways that it can be a stretch to draw political parallels between what happens here and what happens anywhere but dig a little deeper and clear that the race to succeed jerry brown has major implications for the rest of three major to be san francisco mayor gavin introduces democratic gubernatorial candidate and california attorney general jerry brown at a democratic national committee rally on the ucla campus in october kevork more begin with the in early as once and future brown was preparing a comeback campaign for the office left years gavin then the mayor of san announced that he would be challenging him in the democratic newsom never caught polls routinely showed him trailing by points or a few months in the fall of he decided to drop and the following he filed to run for the largely powerless position of lieutenant he won in november and has been serving as ever but newsom still wanted the top in he wanted it so badly that in february a mere three months after securing a second term as second in he made his intentions known by launching a gubernatorial fundraising cannot recall a candidate ever declaring this larry a political science professor emeritus at san jose state said at the time the election was still days extreme as it strategy seems to have led every single public poll released since last summer often by also reported to have million cash on hand more than twice as much as his nearest unless something now is a to place first or second in the june primary and proceed to the general the question is who will go with all primaries in california are open and meaning the top two regardless of party continue on and compete in at former state assembly speaker and los angeles mayor antonio seemed like the other favorite to the thinking was that potent base more latino and southern californian than would propel him past whichever candidate shrinking republican party eventually put unfortunately for not how things have been playing two democratic hopefuls treasurer john who boasts more money than and former state schools chief delaine have been splitting the vote as a two republicans businessman john cox and state assemblyman travis have been inching ahead of villaraigosa in the latest polls none of which is to say the race is settled far from california is so big and so expensive that statewide campaigns really ramp up until about a month before voters cast their in other right during the past week or both newsom and villaraigosa have released their

villaraigosa and who both got in trouble in the for having extramarital as just another pair of so this is the time to tune but why bother if you vote in for what happens in the golden gubernatorial contest on june could directly affect what happens to the house in in at least seven house seats are at serious risk of going nearly a third of the total that dems need to flip nationwide to regain

jarvis taxpayers looks on at kathleen more the republican side of the primary race is important for another reason as as a referendum on how republicans should run in the age of no secret that the president is particularly unpopular in he lost here in by million and a new poll shows that of golden staters disapprove of his job performance with headwinds that strong and a debilitating statewide republican registration deficit it would be a shocking upset for either cox or allen to beat newsom in assuming one of them even makes it onto the but both republicans seem to be seizing on the same two issues as they scrap for second place in the the recent which raised prices by cents per and which has seen various jurisdictions push back on aggressive immigration agenda by directing state or local police not to assist federal enforcement it hard to see the beginnings of a gop playbook on the one emphasize simple pocketbook issues that affect as many voters as whole state is paying this said the whole state wants it on the position yourself as a check on the gripped much of blue america and that may be a turnoff for some moderate is absolutely objectionable for people like gavin newsom and jerry brown to say they are not going to adhere to the federal law on cox recently told the new york times brown should not be acting like george wallace in front of the schoolhouse in on the issue of trump cox is a lot less enthusiastic than the a former financial advisor from huntington echoes the america rhetoric at every the a millionaire businessman who lives in rancho santa even vote for trump and insists he wants to get away from harsh that studied distance from the disrupter in along with his huge cash is probably why if any republican it will likely be who would then be the one to test whether this emerging gop strategy can truly compete with its democratic the task facing potential democratic rivals is defining what that competing vision should be and the third and final reason why this california gubernatorial race matters beyond republican gubernatorial candidate assemblyman travis discusses a ruling in in september rich more conservatives tend to portray the state as an unbridled liberal and true that democrats dominate its political but a fairly recent in the lieutenant and state treasurer were all even as california dems have amassed more and more power

stood by as his publicly eviscerated the loyal chief of and then kicked them both to the curb in quick wh trump declared in a proving yet again that whenever the president wakes up pretty much a percent chance that what saying is the inverse of the truth republicans are counting on john a popular and decorated to put the presidency on a calmer hoping trump will actually listen to counsel and allow him to instill some discipline into the whole and yet they might be missing the generals are great at plotting strategy and establishing protocols and getting supplies to the but even in they rely on a leader to define the political the pressing question here whether kelly can run a more efficient white house than his my camp counselor could pull that the question to what as said before it was always second white house staff not the version that was going to tell us what kind of president he ultimately intended to and if i were a republican on the hill right be starting to wonder if trump actually plans to be a republican or some other kind remember that trump is only nominally a republican to begin when i met him in the late hung out at trump tower and went to dinner with alec believe it or trump was disdainful of politicians and their predictable at that he was an avowed independent fluent in the language of libertarianism as spoken on wall street favoring strong borders along with lower taxes and less government in both the boardroom and the trump really only became a by because he despised president obama as some kind of interloper a fiction he championed for years and for reasons i will leave to a have to believe he entered the republican primaries last year because it was a whole lot easier than building an independent campaign from the ground and because the whole thing was more of a ratings stunt to begin only primetime special turned into an extended and even by the time he trump had no coterie of experienced and no plan for his choice of reince priebus as chief of staff probably signaled some combination of desperation on one hand that you know something about and pragmatism on the priebus represented the party and giving him at least titular control of the white house was a way of trying to build instant relationships with republicans who remained wary of the invading which might have been except that priebus never had and he prepared for the he was a wisconsin party operative and able fundraiser barely seen the inside of the white much less worked priebus never had a for a few hours last it actually seemed that trump was going to layer over priebus with the outlandish anthony scaramucci who appears in almost every photo i see with slicked hair and mirrored shades as if he were auditioning to be tom wingman in scaramucci turned out to be like that solar eclipse waiting breathtaking for an then gone for so trump turns instead to which at first glance seems reassuring for governing this by all a serious and honorable someone

russian tanks are streaming into someone in charge at the white house will not be working off knowledge gleaned from a tom clancy but unlike virtually every chief of staff in recent kelly a known entity inside the as doug a democrat who oversaw public affairs at the pentagon during the obama and who grew to deeply respect told me this this i know what his party affiliation kelly the guy you after a legislative disaster like the one republicans just suffered with health care if looking to lead your party into the midterm more like someone the trump would have picked unaligned and uncompromised by political what this is that six months into his after a string of defeats in congress and ugly approval ratings trump is starting to understand that his only path to success lies in becoming an independent rather than a party leader who looks to loyalists like an fevered rallies and white resentment got him through the and still where most of his base but for trump to maintain any hold on the part of the electorate that provided his margin of he needs to rediscover his inner reformer the pragmatic billionaire who defined himself in opposition to strident ideologies and blatant if this turns out to be where trump is going then be cautiously or at least the problem and a big one is that if you want to chart a new course for american you have to have a sense of where

he leaves trump will not feel bound by any protocols or any predicts former trump campaign adviser sam he will want to remain as clues mount that multiyear investigation will conclude in the coming and as the campaign finally gets now is as good a time as any to start preparing for which will be unlike any come much has been made about how trump has the office he currently holds and he the modern presidency is a political like his trump has been a political staked out his battled his opponents and used his bully pulpit to try to get his yet the is the a fundamentally apolitical you for

a result of my such in will do little to endear him to his fellow presidents another unusual as gibbs details in her the modern was essentially invented by herbert like nixon and possibly like trump left office most hated man in recognizing bureaucratic harry truman defied his staff and first tapped the former president to oversee a massive humanitarian effort in war ii then turned to him again to help restructure a federal government that had ballooned to times its really the start of the club of thinking about how they can use their their their in order to continue to make a difference and do and of current presidents thinking about how they can use their gibbs so you had eisenhower ending up a pretty helpful counselor to kennedy after the bay of pigs and through the cuban missile you had johnson calling eisenhower so much that at one point he said to the best chief of staff you had nixon writing reagan a secret letter about how to set up his white house staff and his because reagan spent his life in you had clinton calling nixon late at night to talk about russia or and you had bush sending jimmy carter to nicaragua on a delicate diplomatic and clinton sending him to north never a matter of gibbs a matter of their illustration by ellie for yahoo news more what value trump might have to the presidents who succeed him remains to be but if past is they may never even attempt to find according to updegrove george bush once called trump saying like while george bush has lamented that trump know what it means to be clinton and carter all objects of derision and ridicule undoubtedly feel the same look no further than recent funeral for a preview of things to only shook hands with bill hillary clinton stared straight refusing to acknowledge the when greeting the from the george bush discreetly but to avoiding the traditional roll call that would have required him to utter the phrase a few months at the funeral of john both obama and bush delivered trump was not invited and so the next president ever has occasion to call on or whether any of the other former presidents would ever see a reason to reach out and enlist him in any cause that they were seems less likely than in the gibbs not sure anyone expects for there to be a sudden warming of those for his trump may not care about being a member in good standing of the presidents but there are other rituals of the that will likely strike his according to trump is almost certain to write a memoir or hire a ghostwriter to pen it for as he has done in the make a lot of money from nunberg updegrove think fair to say that there is no subject that interests donald trump more than donald he that plus his background as a developer is why trump may also take a particular interest building his own presidential who previously served as director of library in predicts that trump will follow lead and opt out of the usual arrangement in which the national archives and records administration runs a former physical choosing instead to administer his own private institution while either partnering with nara on document digitization or avoiding government involvement the says updegrove is that national archives traditionally ensures some accuracy in the telling of a the government is you come forward with some sort of partisan argument or erroneous fact to support the story that telling in the he noting that the trump has made more than false or misleading statements since becoming president is that trump will opt out of that process solely so that he can control the narrative of the trump as he has to this updegrove also says given predilection for and often buildings with his own name on the appearance of the donald trump presidential library may reflect its is going to be the taj mahal of presidential he on the boardwalk of atlantic presidential libraries are usually built in their home but trump might be an exception to that rule last the donald trump once billed as the charitable arm of the financial agreed to dissolve and give away all of its remaining assets under court this was in response to an investigation and lawsuit by the interim new york state attorney barbara who described the foundation as as little more than a checkbook to serve business and political and of engaging in shocking pattern of if it which is being pursued by her letitia would bar trump for years from serving as or trustee of a organization incorporated in or authorized to conduct business in the state of new meaning that trump would either have to forgo any direct involvement in his own presidential library or move it to a different and depending on how trump leaves the library issue may not be the only legal complication he shielded from indictment by the office he trump was nonetheless directly as in the violation for which his former consigliere michael cohen faces a prison prosecutors in the southern district of new york might go after trump after he leaves office in hurt believes that trump will fighting major lawsuits for the rest of his litigation involving trump and trump entities is and not going to he it is only going to increase because of revelations while he been in office from the recent new york times story about the systematic tax fraud perpetrated by trump and his father over many years to these yet to be with the russians and the i would predict that these things are going to do nothing but mushroom and and trump simply stop so just going to exacerbate his be a big nunberg arguing that trump will past legal one way or the either survives them while in office or removed from nunberg i think going to be done by the time he unlikely that trump will depart the oval office with high levels of public a majority of americans have disapproved of his job beginning with the third week of his administration and continuing until a record of unpopularity unmatched since gallup started tracking such the question then can trump after failing in real reinvented himself first as a then as a reality television star and finally as a politician conjure up yet another act for and if what will it not more insists trump was considering he used to if i i get it out of my and done with he i think be i think he hates he hates not going to miss the and difficult to picture trump emerging as an activist in the carter mold or even advocating for particular issues the way eisenhower did with the nixon did with china and clinton does with global health or obama does with redistricting and are often extended reflections of so hard to imagine that trump is going to look to become something as a that he never was as a says more interested in whether he will be in a position to build or expand on his business in a way that leverages his given why he seemed to want to run in the first place as a illustration by ellie for yahoo news more think fair to say trump will be the adds truman left the presidency and went back to a very modest existence in he despite risking financial bankruptcy and to cash in on the presidency regardless of the considerable financial needs he had at the in truman went so far as to not use a pen at book so it imply an endorsement of that i can certainly imagine donald trump exploiting the business opportunities available to a former updegrove cashing in not only on the trump but on the in order to successfully elevate his both updegrove and gibbs wonder if trump might one day launch a media company of some sort perhaps the trump tv cable network widely rumored to be his real endgame in such an endeavor require trump to win over any new simply have to retain the loyalty of his sizeable and seemingly unshakeable give the devil his i would never underestimate capacity for making a says always seems to be about percent of the american public receptive to whatever he says or is skeptical of the tv i more see him becoming the owner of a sports

presidents are expected go out and do more ridicule and much less harry white is spartan compared with a life pinballing between and fifth the rewards of the such as they rewarding to other than the the the chance to show off the lincoln bedroom or to see in our response an awe he does not share but likes the fuel that powers the passion for the attachment to the give and take of practical him no so this is an even life for a much less one with little curiosity or sense of mission beyond the most public figure imaginable has been exposed to the and he like all of this speaks to which is different than mental capacity or competence or proficiency with it goes to wanting to to grow into the to be tested by the office held by others in more difficult to make the best of the challenge history hands as portrayed in fire and trump is little interested in such he is a president who is almost annoyed by the office he what an unhappy man he must as is so often the case with the portrait painted is shocking but not wolff is known for his his flexibility with his instinct to capture larger to see the forest without being able to name every and so this this white was his perfect trump is the same man america watched through the breaking flouting surrounded by doing nothing planned or is he the least most instinctual president this country has ever thanks to his twitter he is certainly the most transparent the tantrums nor the nor the knowledge blind tone none of this has been majorities of americans just as majorities did before he was so what mainly it is that book captures the own advisers admitting what so many people have been after a year spent denying that water is again and again this president and this white house asserted things that were flatly the the the the size of the tax no longer through the looking that has implications for books about sitting presidents are extremely hard to do they are particularly hard to do about a president who has such a broad definition of much less one who according to made stuff up forever and they always print clarity is elusive on a good longtime white house reporters will tell you that there are as many opinions about what happened at a west wing meeting as there are people in the technique to air all in fire and fury he most often presents a version of the truth that comes straight from the mouth or memory of now defenestrated adviser stephen the warrior who joined team in august and lent it so much of its raw cultural power in the closing days of the bannon then went to washington with the to advance the chief nationalist whether or not trump fully agreed with fire and fury is the story of his triumphs and failures before he flamed out seven months book confirms what others have glimpsed or reported about the baroque character of the trump white but it does so in detail so granular that it may even with its a definitive text on the some elements are beyond the trump white within days of the was split into three endlessly warring the neopopulist wing under the gop establishment wing under chief of staff reince and the manhattan wing under jared kushner and ivanka the three factions leaked and counterleaked against one another to gain the upper hand or the or bannon and kushner were famously unavailable for both as wolff background voices to virtually all media coverage of the white trump signed executive orders favoring one faction or often without the other which led to more heartburn and and yet for most of the nine months of covered by trump never settled in any one the president spent hours complaining about his family members and various detailing their humiliating them in making sure no single person accumulated too much serve at the said although he had somehow won the white house and therefore must be a man of protean evidence was hard to many aides found him incurious and even hostile to he read really even wolff devoting himself to headlines but little he was not a good listener and tended to ignore people who imposed on his he resisted opinions by anyone labeled an and dismissed as people who acted mentally superior to wolff reports that he was phobic about having formal demands on his he could hesitant and uncertain about how to react to so aides found ways to work around to into for dina powell of the national security council learned from ivanka that photographs and charts could move him on when she wanted trump to respond to use of chemical she showed him a presentation with photographs of children injured in the the president decided to retaliate by firing tomahawk missiles at a syrian military other details of leadership style are interesting if not downright he uses appearances as a gauge of whether they can is sensitive about his own image when a news report portrayed him in february as roaming the white house late at night in his he railed against the wolff reports that at least early repaired to his bed many often as early as with a cheeseburger to watch tv and make phone calls to seeking often spent time the next morning trying to talk the president out of acting on the nighttime although trump can be coarse and flamboyantly sexist in his references to he seems more comfortable taking advice from women than from as lurid as portrait of trump may the chief strategist is the central bannon emerges as a man at odds with thrilled to be leading a populist revolution from the seat of american but deeply conflicted about playing any part in the power this leads him down bad such as taking on the the book pulls back the brocaded curtain shrouding ivanka trump and jared the two family members with official white house jobs who have a hand in a wide array of policy matters and a say in virtually everything bannon identified early on as his chief not only because of the blood proximity to the president but because their politics were marginally left of center decidedly left of it was jarvanka who worked to keep kellyanne conway off the who insisted the state of the union speech sound moderate and and who pressed trump to bring in anthony scaramucci to run communications for disastrous days last the infighting between the camps is particularly in many ways the book is more withering indictment of jared and ivanka than of the bannon content to oppose he at least in to destroy when bannon convinces trump to withdraw from the paris agreement to curb climate he bitch is and when trump fires fbi director james comey in bannon fingers jared and ivanka as the in part because he believes that single decision sparked a chain of events that could ruin the bannon take down the according to bannon thinks that jared and ivanka advocated for firing comey because their own global business interests might not stand up to federal some of this wolff stemmed from the fact that father charles was concerned that his own finances would become entangled in the trump is bannon told by midsummer bannon is fully at war with jared and impatient with their resentful of their jealous of their media savvy and working nonstop to undercut their the strangest passage in the book comes in the penultimate when wolff lets bannon go on a rant about the risks posed to the family and its business interests by the russia it is late july and bannon is on the outs with the feeling outnumbered and surrounded by his enemies at least in lashing out in many bannon had spent some according to trying to get the trumps to create a special swat team of lawyers and spin doctors to handle special counsel robert much as bill clinton did in to counter the investigation of independent counsel kenneth the best bannon is a better trump would just have to gut it but that plan never got off the which explains in part why bannon was dumbfounded by a july interview trump did with the new york in which he somewhat inexplicably warned mueller to stay away from his ehhh screeched making the sound of an emergency look tell a prosecutor what not to look bannon then notes that mueller had hired one of top prosecutors to dive into the deeply complicated financial transactions that make up the trump real estate he asserts that mueller will also biopsy the deals made by just as his father had realize where this is bannon is all about money their path to trump goes right through paul don and jared kushner it goes through deutsche bank and all the kushner going to roll those two guys up and play me or trade then wolff expressive bannon seemed to have suddenly exhausted after a he added sitting on a beach trying to stop a category left unexplained is much less for money might have been it is a real weakness of fire and fury that wolff permits bannon to go on without providing any evidence for such readers have poked holes in some of facts and sources have disputed quotes attributed to not the first time in his career that the accuracy has been but then maybe it takes a thief to catch a some argue that with a president like the normal rules of journalism by this a president who has such a casual relationship with the truth requires loosening the rules about claims with all supplying evidence for sweeping observations and providing the source of every quote and whatever questions linger about the central narrative of fire and fury may take years to in the the book will confirm what both sides already democrats will see in it explicit conformation of all that is unfit and unworthy in while republicans will see instead all that is wrong with the news the book has broadened a conversation taking place in washington mostly among hopeful about whether we are approaching a moment when members of cabinet somehow get together and invoke the which has a passage about how an administration can replace a commander in chief when his faculties are this is little more than a liberal presidents get replaced by their they get impeached by their so about once a the consequences of the book may be borne by all the incendiary claims and quotes he coughed up to kneecap ivanka and jared now read like a political suicide and his attempts to walk them back did little first the media impresario lost the backing of his financial mogul robert mercer and his daughter on he was drummed out of his role as the boss of breitbart the perch from which he planned to wage war on the gop new sobriquet for will stick to him for a as for there is no sign that this book will change him at though he is clearly obsessed with its details and to rebut the charges about his mental trump took the extraordinary step on of admitting cameras into bipartisan immigration negotiations for axios reports that his official day now starts at with the bulk of the morning carved out for tweeting and talking to spent

main event a few hours what i saw there were several serious and talented politicians who might well have the skills needed to get themselves elected and actually govern all of whom punted on a clear opportunity to demonstrate you the primetime debate brought into sharp relief the actual schism that divides the republican candidates heading into the it conservative versus it simply insiders versus or the party establishment versus the tea party slideshow gop debates in cleveland about governing republicans versus ideological politicians who believe in wielding and reforming government as a vehicle for change on one and those who see a career in public service as a mark of if not an outright on the the leading candidates to this point break down roughly into equal although a few of them scott walker and rand are hard to on the governing side you have jeb marco john kasich and chris the provocateurs include mike ben carson and ted but the crassest voice in the pack clearly belongs to donald it took only a few minutes for trump to start denigrating everybody who chooses to serve in government rather than do something truly like build casinos and for leaders are trump said in regard to after refusing to rule out an independent run and laughing off his record of politicians are he are considerably smarter and which more or less elicited this response from the governing republicans on i not bush talked about the power of education and kasich had a nice riff about lifting up the poor through more efficient and christie pushed his plan to modernize social each of them sounded downright clintonian at times as in not but where clinton coupled his calls for policy reform with a spirited defense of government the best potential nominees in the republican party just stood there while trump dismissed everyone who serves in government as a when who served with distinction for years in congress before winning two terms as governor of was asked to respond specifically to he responded with was just saying to chris they say kasich really need to take lessons from donald and then who want to just tune him making a and all have i get none of the serious thinkers wants to

for christie to flash some of that famous indignation managed to summon it easily enough for or for bush to show some of the and fire that a lot of republicans are waiting think at least one governing

friends in the photojournalism community searched through finding old cords and cables that were used to fire up the old what they according to was a of photographs including many they had never seen

understand the communications and this is going back for prone to some levels of hyperbole and prone to some levels of you what my grandfather would say we sometimes remember things the way we would like to remember them as opposed to how they actually scaramucci what would be at risk there is you put him in that he believes in his heart and in his brain that done absolutely nothing he wears

watched son grow up in near weekly at first reluctant to speak for the campaign the who the heck jane has grown into one of her most vocal and popular surrogates admit susan sarandon draws bigger one thing changed from when we first she says as perron applies a little lip looked around and saw that other campaigns had more people out there spreading the and i realized that if i wanted that for bernie i would have to be one of cnn is playing on the screen a mix of donald trump berating the press for asking about his donations to and outrage over the shooting of harambe the gorilla at the cincinnati when bizarro worlds and trump is asked about the jane is unexpectedly so he has to she they can make it seem like all he wants to talk as she waits for a microphone to be clipped to the colorful shirt that she bought on a campaign trip to puerto rico ahead of the june primary she worries briefly that wolf blitzer might actually ask her about gorillas but instead most of their conversation is about another topic that frustrates her the math of the can her husband possibly win a large enough percentage of the june vote to overcome hillary delegate continue reading in she takes cnn to task for including superdelegates in their think cnn and msnbc should listen to the communications director of the dnc when she says count those superdelegates before they she pledged delegates behind secretary and it is a steep but the fact is won a number of a number of by large and if he somehow does that well in he could lead in the pledged delegate if the she superdelegates might change their but she quit before the final vote is the segment but she waits to have an unaired word with include those superdelegates and pronounce her the nominee immediately after new jersey she warns meaning three hours before voting ends in california on count those superdelegates until they actually vote on july we stop for lunch at a restaurant across from the pedestrian mall that mayor sanders helped create in the middle of a spot not far from the church where jane first heard him speak during his first campaign and almost instantly fell in jane and bernie often came here for late dinners after city council meetings during the early years of their and there is a small cartoon version of his face tucked amid the elaborate mural at the which otherwise consists mostly of naked young we are still on the subject of knew nothing about the democratic primary at the start of this she since both she and her husband are both has been a real and we need to reform that electoral not from a point of but for the if it were a we would have been complaining all just taking not i all this count the superdelegates actually she just clarifying the larger existential reason for those delegates in the first purpose of the superdelegates is supposedly to make sure the right person gets the she her husband disagrees that such a mechanism should and if he were designing the rules they would but since they she they should be permitted to actually do that are the insurance she our question are they the insurance policy for the establishment candidate or are they the insurance policy for the democratic she cites the many polls that show bernie sanders having more of a lead over donald trump than hillary clinton then says she is tired of having to argue this viability question at every interview from a year ago until today has as the question or the you really and more of a scorecard that interested in rather than why running and what he wants to she when she concedes that voters do in fact know where bernie stands on his key issues for a health care a higher minimum less gun control than clinton and more regulation of wall but she credits social media for getting that message because the mainstream press was too busy covering donald think the press deserves responsibility for giving trump the especially the tv she after rally of his was covered beginning to while everyone else got a snippet of then marco rubio said one outlandish thing and his next four rallies were also covered anyone trying to talk about issues never got any i think this is a real comment on our i reviewed the notes from our first interview this past i tell and was surprised to see we mention donald trump at the campaign anyone she adding she thought the republican nominee would be jeb bush or marco a smart i would have thought have done i thought the brash one would have been chris and i never would have thought it would have gotten this but you never get the campaign you i suggest that the ugliness of the and online is not limited to donald both sanders and trump tapping into similar wellsprings of turning over the same rock and exposing some very angry people some she looks like he just tells it like it bernie also tells it like it i think people are sick and tired of the canned politicians and both trump and bernie offer something completely but you need to get past that and get to the issues and then you see a real distinction between our she goes on to reject the worst of the bernie bro with its implicit misogyny directed at campaign has always been and will always be about a vision for the she has been about not about tearing apart we fight back against people who say hateful things supposedly on our our social media people were this not the i tell her that i put a message up on my facebook page asking what questions i should ask the sanders and that the overwhelming majority of responses were from readers who fear that bernie is effectively handing the race to trump by hanging by continuing to criticize and by feeding the their logic sanders makes it ever more difficult for the party to unite before the general jane think that been very clear that do anything to oppose donald to beat donald she is a very necessary should he not get the might another goal be some role in a potential hillary clinton now he is just focused on winning the she maybe secretary of or secretary of she smiles for just a then you can join in on the conversations after but finish the back at the jane is talking about what happens after her husband does not take his talk of a she and win or lose he and his circle intend to use the clout from this campaign to keep pushing their that means marshaling the lists and infrastructure built during the past year into some sort of organized not just about winning the about changing our country to have it be what we all want it to be and know it can she want an really organized group of people helping support moving it in the direction of the issues that talked and if not the it will be him leading that leading that been spending some time noodling on the details of such a group something like moveon or organizing for but with a something thought about and will be able to bring to him at a future not in the middle of a this is something we will move on regardless of the outcome of this and i will definitely be involved in as she the landscape becomes more and soon we pull into the driveway of a colonial on a quiet residential there is a fulltime secret service detail guarding the and they are confused because jane forgot to tell them she was expecting a reporter and a camera once we are she ushers us into exactly the house so many doting grandparents there are photos of the five children and seven grandchildren on all the a clutter of knickknacks on all the and piles of magazines and the stuff of daily life everywhere jane will text me to ask if i remember where she put her keys when she came home because she find i in the room adjacent to the kitchen the floor is covered with toys a things that make noise that their parents prefer stay here rather than come her taxes anywhere in this she they been released because they just been finished yet the accountant filed for an extension until in the dining she moves a miniature nativity scene out of hardly been home since she says by way of nearby is an antique sculpture of don which she asks that i not write about as a and hanging on the walls nearby are several framed prints heavy with symbolism all scenes from the white they are prints commissioned and sent as christmas cards every year of the clinton presidency and they bear the signatures of both hillary and bill which means jane and bernie sanders sit in their dining room and gaze at greetings from the guess maybe we should do something else with she then she explains proudly that they were among the first thing that her now a professional by and you get the sense they going a secret service agent tells her that her husband has been trying to reach she turned off her phone during her tv interview earlier and during all the time been talking glanced at it a scroll through her messages shows that she also has two radio interviews scheduled within so we say our quick goodbyes and i grab a ride back to the airport with my

trying a approach to democratic perriello told me as his suv rolled past the bare oak trees that line interstate between charlottesville and hope is that we win the race and run the table in the in doing we create a blueprint for democratic success in then that would be this could be the model that others if one thing democrats seem to agree that they keep doing what they did in and donald trump

aside from a few special there are only two big contests to obsess over in the races in new jersey and early they both seemed kind of but in perriello launched a surprise challenge to democratic ralph and the entire political press corps en on the old a couple of narrative threads have one is that the primary will pit a supposedly milquetoast virginia centrist against a bold progressive insurgent in a battle for the ideological soul of the democratic the other is that northam represents the political establishment every prominent democrat in the commonwealth has endorsed him while perriello represents authentic outsider both storylines liken northam perriello to last tussle between hillary clinton and bernie with northam in the clinton role and perriello as both have some truth to and both seem with who predicts that establishment backing will be political curse with the and made sure to remind me that his rival voted for george bush not but the i pay much attention to northam has what i know i was wrong and would have voted his campaign also vehemently denies that he is a pointing to his strong liberal track record on gun safety and reproductive health as yet as i discovered

last november the second is motivating their base black urban liberals to show up and vote in nonpresidential promise is that he can fix both problems at the same and despite what he might say on the stump at the start of a democratic the solution as simple as running as a when perriello was in he a member of the blue dog coalition gang of mostly mostly moderate democrats who were mostly wiped out in but he resembled them in some he cited moderates such as jim jon mark warner and tim kaine as models and wound up ranking as the most conservative democrat in the house he spoke of how his faith sustain me through difficult shapes my commitment to and defines my belief that we will ultimately have to answer for how we have treated the least among he received an a rating from the national

in he voted for the stupak which would have prohibited insurance companies that participate in the affordable care exchanges from covering the democratic party of is different from the democratic party of and running for governor is different than running for the virginia has changed too becoming much more diverse and accepting as perriello likes to but the big difference is that everything in politics revolves around donald and so perriello is making a bet in the age of what democrats basically need is a new breed of blue dog less conspicuous more colorbind working class just on the one you rally the left by loudly opposing the on the you actually try to win back trump not by emphasizing or or as your predecessors might but by focusing relentlessly on the economic anxieties that drove them to vote for the president the same economic that drove many democrats to vote for in a trump actually represents an opportunity for to rile up the base by resisting to create a new coalition by stealing his populist need to have a perriello told was speaking passionately about issues of job loss and corruption of the system years when those necessarily the mainstream talking this gives me credibility both with the base and with trump part of why in the he many democrats believe a status message is going to be when in fact if not starting to talk about the crisis emerging

impatient energy are the still a bachelor as which is part of the reason he can do things like hold a campaign event every hour for hours straight one young woman and raised in the site of the

politicians like elsewhere perriello has promised to restrict access to guns with defensible role in sport or and said that the which he once called the of has become a extremist another woman asks about had read that while you were in congress you were labeled as a and of recently come out as being she i expect perriello responds that while always been he promised his constituents that he would vote against abortions a promise he has since come to after learning that it would prevent of color and poor from having to that despite these perriello never loses his he brings everything back to trump and the working anxiety about happening on capitol hill pervades the predominantly democratic but perriello frame the fight over obamacare in terms of interparty and he limit the fallout to millions of people losing their more than any democrat he talks about how your pocketbook will take a is a billion tax cut for people making million or more a year this a massive unpaid tax cut for millionaires and perriello the real of is who picks up the the middle because what happens when million people lose health they go back to the emergency room and catastrophic and how is that cost

with jeff and the says he likes what he think gotten away from listening to he tells elected to represent your not your it sounds to me like what perriello tries to the next the candidate picks me up at the crack of dawn for the ride to where he will be touring a community health care center called the daily on the we perriello has a lot to about about ed gillespie former lobbyist and republican national committee chair whose likely to win the gop about why he will beat both of about as he can serve as a firewall against both republican legislature and the in perriello tours the daily planet community health center in on march andrew more but most interested in policy in whether perriello can actually use his innate wonkiness to bring the base and at least some trump voters of says are enormous opportunities for a new bipartisan he conversation has and the existing political establishment in both parties is starting to catch up to that with baby but the people are four steps ahead of where they with the right kind of we can catch up to the what are some i talking to law enforcement people and the people who run our prison they feel like being asked to be mental health providers of first and they know not their area of he we have passed a tipping point in terms of interest across very diverse constituencies to address the mental health same goes for opioids and ptsd among legislature has been taking some positive perriello the people are ready for a bolder another obsession of is the ongoing remonopolization both geographically and of the was curious whether people would be he found that they they understand that the jobs have been leaving and moving into fewer and fewer zip codes and fewer and fewer and in talking to people about there has been a lot of interest in ideas we would describe as radical people like the idea of getting back to decentralized food production and energy this goes beyond the normal political the list goes if perriello were bernie sanders he would be proposing free public college for he thinks place we should prioritize are these alternate including apprenticeship career and technical education and community we give a massive tax cut to the richest corporations in republicans call it an investment that will to the rest of he when we talk about investing in human beings by making community college they call it a welfare or entitlement the second we start to realize that the purchasing power of the working and middle class that drives growth is the moment we can start to build new decision to turn down

west and why we have not been able to get universal virginia had been ranked in all these ways as the best place to do the best place to raise a moved down in those measures largely based on underinvesting in infrastructure and education and the barrier to that is a legislature that reflect the have found that connecting those dots has been extremely resonant on the he if you are looking at things that the rest of the country can learn from i believe we will make redistricting a significant electoral issue this with we arrive at the daily and the candidate embarks on his before perriello can implement any of his big he needs to win two the primary and the neither outcome is perriello and northam are tied at percent in the latest poll and neither democrat leads gillespie in a hypothetical all of the democratic delegates and state senators in virginia have endorsed as have warner and both of whom are former and as the washington post recently pointed out has spent years building an army of loyalists across the state who can amplify his voice and do the single most important thing an get voters to show up at the the rest of will only reinforce his belief that the right man for the be running if trump he told me is a moment of deeply turbulent that change is either going to take the form of an unraveling of a lot of the core elements of our society or going to

office released a video wednesday that continued to radically contrast his approach to political leadership with though of course there was no mention of name in the but it showed ryan exhorting his party to speak to the american people a way focusing on the transcript of my conversation with levin has been lightly edited for brevity and jon your book could also be titled cannot go i you write of the and time existed it was not a dream but it was not the paradise that some now it was made possible by circumstances that are no longer with when you write are you telling trump voters in the rust belt that no matter how many threats and tariffs donald trump throws out those factories are not coming yuval i think and not just trump but a lot of people in our politics behave as though the solutions to our problems involve first and foremost finding a way to go to go back to that american dream that in different ways is at the heart of so much of our political rhetoric i think the challenge we have is finding ways to go to see how things have to see what we might learn from that american golden what we might want to bring back in terms of a balance between prosperity and but we go back to the society we no society ever that moment in american life was also especially unusual for our going which is what donald trump wants to but is also what hillary clinton wants to do and what ted cruz wants to is really not the right way to think about how to solve problems in what was so different and unique about the circumstances that created the america that came out of the second world war was very unusually united by by but also by a of social and economic and political forces that were driving everybody to be more like everyone else in american almost from the moment that the war there began a kind of loosening of that a liberalization in the culture first and economics and that over time has meant that those very same forces in american rather than driving everybody to be more like everyone now drive everybody to be more like himself or individualism is really the driving force in american life and good and but our politics is not very good at seeing either the good or the we just see what and no way to think about how to build for the continue reading one of the interesting things in the i was that you feel that individualism has been good for people but not so much for people with less money and less why is i would say it has been good for everyone in certain but the price we paid has been a much heavier price for people who have less who have less economic in a been good is that we have more more more more choices in every part of we are a healthier not just the wealthiest but bad again and a kind of a breakdown of family a breakdown of social people who are wealthy and educated in our society are just better suited to dealing with those kind of just easier for them to people are more conservative people live very differently now then in some surprising they are not just very they are more which i think a lot of people would not their families are much more divorce rates are very birth rates are almost if a not having children out of so a lot of the social problems we have are very deeply tied together with the kind of breakdown of cohesion that we have seen since the middle of the last it has been harder to deal with the cost for people who have less resources and less of a foundation for success not but a very important fact of american life that we have to keep in why do you think that that gap between cultural between people with money and people without i think in a lot of ways what we have seen in the last is what first began as a kind of a breakdown of cohesive that over and over in different parts of american life became different forms of polarization of polarization of political polarization of social i think that the parts of our society recoiled a little from the cultural revolution that started in the pulled it was easier for them to do than it could be for people lower down the income scale or with less they just found it easier to recover a certain kind of way of life that looks in some important ways like a more traditional way of it is much harder for people with less income and less education to do and polarized the way we just as life styles have become polarized in so many other going back to those manufacturing plants in the rust a writer for the national review named kevin williamson wrote in march that some of those towns that have been hard hit by the death of manufacturing in his quote was that they to what do you make of i think that they deserve to but the question is how can they thrive without going i think that when donald trump goes to pittsburgh and going to bring steel just lying in the way politicians lie to not what a recovery is going to look like in a lot of those why is he the global economy is the reason why steel left by the it happened years and pittsburgh has and places like it have recovered not by bringing steel back but by trying to find ways to thrive in the pittsburgh has done a lot of places in the rust belt have not done as i think that they can learn from successes rather than looking for ways to roll back all of the trends that have given us whether immigration or whether globalization or not that there are not downsides to these just in thinking about how to deal with we have to think about how to do it from not about how to go back in an impossible you talk in your book about an idea named which i believe is a catholic the term is i like to think a jewish but the term is a catholic basically the idea that any authority should be at the most local level a friend of mine recently feel like i want to spend most of my time and energy focused on local local local but the media i consume is mostly telling me that i should care the most about what is happening at the national how do you think that my should process in a sense i think they are both i think he should want to spend most of his energy at the local i think our political system now is structured in a way that means that most questions are addressed at the national or at least most of the big questions we why what is in is a change of how we do business in i think our political system needs to recognize that going to be easier to solve problems from the bottom up then from the top one of the things it means to be a fractured and so washington does have to give up some at this i think your friend is that a lot of the things concerned about are being debated and worked out and thought through at the national i think fewer and fewer of them should and more power should be channeled downward toward where people actually live with one another face to face and can address problems in a way to how they live going to require a kind of reform of how we understand what politics is and what it does in our you just sit in an ivory tower and write you are an informal advisor to paul you know do you think that at some point as you have watched him sort of do this dance with donald trump do you think at some point he is going to have to embrace donald trump completely and endorse how do you see that playing it seem like he is inclined to embrace him completely and endorse i think he may have to vote for looking at the options he has and the alternatives he has and the obligations he has as the leader of the party in maybe the leader of the party in ryan is resisting that because he is a conservative and donald trump in a lot of ways is really making a mockery of what conservatives throughout paul lifetime and mine have been trying to work not hard to see why hard for but he also faces intense pressures that someone like me who just writes his opinion for a living just cannot possibly you said he will have to vote for him does that mean an i know how it ends up being but when you say you are going to vote for that is probably an hard to ryan has certainly resisted and i think that is to his great and so far he has managed to do he is going to be under intense he is speaker of the he is going to be the chairman of the republican convention most he is in a tough spot if he want to support the and at this in second week or so in you have a lot more states that require signatures to get on the ballot which is a big barrier for anybody that would want to run as an independent to give an alternative to trump or do you see that happening at this i think there are certainly some people working for but the obstacles to that are very high and i bet a lot on it happening right even though it does seem to me that there is a lot of and i think there is some demand but there needs to actually be a there needs to be someone who is willing to ruin their life in that particular and so far that person has not turned it would be a quixotic quest and not a realistic you never this is not the year to make confident predictions of any in our system so heavily weighted to favor a structure to it is hard to imagine a option winning the and would you ever consider voting for donald i think i like i i am a what i believe about what i believe about about government is exactly what donald trump is making a mockery of throughout this i also just as a matter of as a matter of he is not suited to be i cannot vote for hillary clinton so in a place where i been as a but it end on i think a good question to ask you here is that a lot of a lot of trump are frustrated that the government is both impotent and incompetent in different at least in their they want somebody to come in and fix the and knock heads and get things they see donald trump as doing what do you say in response to you agree with but what is the you my view of this and this is really the argument of the book too is that american government in the way we have thought about it since the progressive era going to work in the and in order to get a government that we have to think differently about how american government ought to not in an entirely new this idea that government should work from the bottom the idea of federalism even of subsidiarity has always been part of the american way of thinking about but not part of the progressive way about thinking about and as long as our politics is a debate about how big the progressive welfare state should which is basically what it has degenerated i think we are going to find those and i think someone like donald trump who not working because everyone is an idiot and i could come in and make it is persuasive at i think voters who want a government that is more functional and speaks to their concern in the century should see the value of a government that channels

wake of donald upset and last midterm when democrats swept seven california house republicans out of office unprecedented grassroots energy has scrambled the old calculation that a presidential campaign used to make is whether it was worth scheduling a few visits before and after the says now the incentive to schedule a big rally is much because the level of enthusiasm among democratic activists is off the a candidate who may have been lucky to fill a living room in a previous presidential campaign can probably fill a high school gym or even a theater without much mario images more the upside of such engagement just a lively event that looks good on the local practical as all attendees at glendale event were to and to share their emails and phone numbers while doing the thinking

democrats want to win the white they necessarily need their neighbor in the white entirely possible that harris will stumble in the early or that expectations will be so high for her in california that the finisher will get more media or that whoever wins the most nationwide delegates on super tuesday will be declared the in each of those any competing candidate who has figured out how to maximize his or her california delegate haul will stand to gain which is as politico recently reported to at least six democratic campaigns or prospective candidates have begun speaking to democratic

chaos in the white or energized by the continued here is one of those links to the others and a summary of what we found are the first time i met eileen schmidt was a little over a year ago as she stood listening to donald trump speak at what became a rowdy rally at the university of iowa in iowa back when the new york real estate mogul was still a long shot in his bid for the gop much less the i had taken a photograph of her a who was wearing a america great shirt that was a few sizes too but it was a shiny political button on his chest that first caught my the out of it memorializing a quote that trump had first used a few months before to describe how he would protect the from dylan had picked out the pin himself at a stand outside the and though it seemed unusual for a kid to be wearing a button with a curse word especially in a state like iowa schmidt told me she was ok with blunt pledge to annihilate isis was one of the things she really liked about speaking a few weeks after the deadly san shootings an attack that killed people and injured others schmidt said she lived in fear of something like that hitting close to and she supported promise to take the fight to militants by fortuitous schmidt and i spoke again more than a year later on a recent april afternoon when officials had just announced the deployment of the most powerful nonnuclear bomb on a cave and tunnel complex in afghanistan said to be used by isis a nurse who works the early morning had just gotten off work and seen the think what just happened is what trump would describe as bombing the out of i told schmidt is a call to people that messing that he is moving forward and doing what he can to keep america as she was a year schmidt is firmly team she loves the things that make many of his critics including his use of his seeming willingness to say whatever he even if it offends and his habit of criticizing even members of his own as we neared the mark of schmidt said she was happy with everything he had done so even if he had come up short on issues such as his pledge to repeal and replace obamacare early in his was but he dwell on it and moved on to the next and i liked schmidt think it shocked him that it there are so many people against and i think you need to have those people actually feel the effects of the law in order to get something when they they will take it up again and something will continue reading she dismissed trump critics who say he done enough to nudge congress on the issue or used the skills he promised to employ to push other legislative priorities still she pointed dismissing the criticism as the usual that has contributed to paralyzing political gridlock in have time for stop criticizing everybody sit down together and make things another important issue to schmidt was cracking down on illegal and she said she was by early moves including soliciting bids for his planned wall along the border with and an executive order pushing law enforcement agents to enforce immigration she also supported efforts to temporarily ban individuals from six countries from traveling to the which has been put on hold by a federal court amid claims it violates the mind if people come as long as they are vetted and have all their paperwork in she is about keeping us and i support while she also supported move to strike syria and expressed trust in his foreign policy schmidt said her only concern is that trump work strongly with other foreign allies on any major military just be done by donald she go it we have to work with other and

governor to win a presidential primary in his own state especially if the first of states a couple of actually but normalcy even on speaking terms with politics this and so it was that john kasich after laboring as an afterthought through weeks of primaries and a dozen debates woke up yesterday to a changed on the villanova where i caught up with something like students jammed into an auditorium and an adjoining overflow room to see who often sounded more like a dad than a presidential at a lot of lonely he said at one them to go out for invite them to the basketball kasich wandered into an impenetrable swarm of tv whose aggressive and overlapping questions almost entirely about donald trump and delegate math he politely then i followed him out the back where his ohio state police detail was holding off another sizable throng of onlookers and we jumped into his black you believe kasich turning around from the front seat to face me as the car surged you even believe what you saw there holy i had to it was interviewed kasich on the eve of his announcement last and what talked about then was as a young and ambitious and even in his early years as kasich had been known as impulsive and quick to offend and quicker to he chafed endlessly against the established order of his own the knock on kasich then was that he could never be disciplined or measured enough to project a presidential now here he the last man standing against trump and ted the only candidate left with governing and more it seemed the campaign had transformed kasich or at least the public perception of the prickly boy wonder of the gingrich revolution a guy still reviled by a lot of his liberal adversaries in ohio for his evident moral certainty had been elevated to the position of his designated not only had kasich managed to contain his famous temper over the last several but he had emerged as the most relentlessly upbeat candidate in either the favorite republican of editorial boards and just about every voter who planning to vote in republican i asked him if he thought grown into this role during the has been a big change in and that i realized that people need he than i thought they they need to believe in themselves and their ability to change the i know guess an evolution as and my family and all kasich went not a kid you years everybody grows i but if true that kasich has mellowed i think it then also true that his metamorphosis has a lot to do with the contrast if this republican field were led john mccain or mitt kasich would probably seem like a slightly less less impulsive version of the guy who took the stage on the night of his first gubernatorial election and going to be the governor of but as we and most alien civilizations surely know by this field has been dominated by a crass showman who plays with extremist language as if the entire campaign were a mad and every overshadowed governing candidate has had to make a at one point or about how to remain relevant without losing all jeb bush vacillated between punchless attacks and plaintive marco rubio descended for a pivotal week into then regretted it just as chris christie befriended the bully and now seems to occupy the organizational rung just below butler alone among his kasich decided that if this was the last campaign of a long he was going to go out his with seriousness of and if espousing pragmatism while ignoring trump has made him for much of the like a man oblivious to the it has also earned him broader admiration than all the balanced budgets in the kasich said this week that he would weigh in soon on attitude toward i asked him if this signaled that a combative phase in his campaign was about to going to say things when i feel compelled to say he shaking his i like the sound of not interested in being but every once in a when you see something that makes your blood i think you should say something about rhetoric so why had he waited this long to get had a lot of stuff i kasich told might how could you not have known about what was happening at those how could you not have known about his because i running my own when seen kasich been stunned by the beyond the insulting and incendiary nature of some of what he has i be sure whether kasich was really the last american with a television to find out about verbal or whether he simply afford to ignore it as much as burnished his image by remaining at an olympian the mathematical fact is that kasich win without somehow taking trump even if kasich were to consolidate his vote with most of is it be enough to beat trump and cruz in most as long as they continue to pile up the kinds of pluralities they did this kasich would have to peel off some sizable segment of voters from both and even then all he can do is keep trump from clearing the threshold needed to clinch the have a unique because now gaining kasich told shrugging off the would you rather momentum in the first quarter or momentum in the cruz win anything last i you know people across the country are celebrating that victory in because they believe it sends a message that somebody who has a somebody who can bring us together that hope for that see that anybody is going to have enough kasich told then you have a i why are people hyperventilating about that in other is to keep trump from amassing the delegates he and then to effectively declare a reset at the his campaign added a team of serious party insiders this week among them the superlobbyist vin weber and the longtime strategist charlie black to begin preparing for a delegate but as kasich well the in some circles comes from imagining what will happen if republican operatives try to overturn the will of their own and this is why kasich needs to do more than simply keep trump under the magic he also needs to win a bunch of states that his own between now and early in the an challenge will be viable or at least something less than suicidal only if the leaders of various delegations can plausibly make the case that kasich was the strongest candidate by the time the primaries if nothing little question that now the most electable of the i asked him if it felt despite his sharply conservative record and evangelical to have become the republican democrats like have always been able to attract the independent and conservative kasich told me as the car came to a their turned hard left and they feel left always had an ability to get those we were sitting in the driveway of a country club in where kasich was about to attend a i thanked

members of congress are renewing their call to take up and vote on a bill formally authorizing undeclared war against the islamic legislation known as an authorization for the use of military force without lawmakers are shirking their constitutional they and while voters should take the aumf sentiment seriously that elected officials should be responsible for publicly debating military action on behalf of the american as the constitution intends they also should be skeptical that congress will actually take up and approve an for reasons both political and according to congressional leadership the carnage on parisian streets is unlikely to lift the obstacles to a proper debate and vote though some such as tim and jeff are sure to continue their long campaign for an aumf many other lawmakers could keep trying to have it both questioning strategy and strategists in the while continuing to fully fund the military known as operation inherent the potent reasons for inaction in the senate and house of representatives rise out of policy differences as well as political both on capitol hill and the campaign especially in election congressional leaders try to avoid scheduling controversial or difficult votes that might endanger vulnerable members or embarrass presidential one senior senate democratic aide suggested that members are very aware of their history on aumf particularly those who continue to feel stung by being on the record as supporting the iraq war before the nation as a whole came to consider that intervention a given not everyone is eager to vote on an aumf votes are difficult and and folks have a natural aversion to this one is particularly tricky because next to impossible to find the sweet spot on the sliding scale between people who want a tailored specific mission and people who want robust said the one has been able to figure out where there are votes in the nobody not the not not nobody has put forward language that has the votes to the aide noting that republicans want presidents to have near unlimited power while democrats oppose creep and indefinite nothing about that partisan difference in outlook has changed in the days since the paris the view that congress is unlikely to pass an authorization for engagement in syria is a rare bipartisan point of a senior republican aide noted that there is path right now to getting a new but while tendency on difficult issues is to always favor inertia over that has not stopped the calls from senators like kaine and flake from challenging their aversion to taking tough votes particularly when aumf advocates believe that those votes are mandated by the constitution and should not be based on the polls leaders are looking at as they schedule legislation to come to the done is sat on the sidelines and kaine said in a colloquy with flake on the senate floor easy to be a easy to sit in the stands and watch a play and why the coach call a different but not fans the owners of the over the past kaine the united states has carried nearly at a cost of or million per to push islamic state out of sections of iraq and ten military personnel have including one special operator killed in combat but the attacks in kaine show that threat has like a and it is now affecting nations all over the perhaps freer to directly challenge president obama because he is in the opposing went even further than suggesting that a new authorization is necessary and that the government should speak with even as republicans and democrats in congress are notion that a statute aimed at another enemy is any kind of substitute for congressional authorization is he mission warrants its own authorization because we want it to we want the world to know that the united states speaks with one votes to authorize war are among the most politically difficult votes a member will ever cast just ask former hillary clinton lost her bid for the democratic presidential nomination in part because she voted in to authorize the iraq she has been forced repeatedly to answer for that vote in and her struggles saturday in a debate in des to clearly answer a question about whether a new aumf is required in part catapulted the issue back into the clinton said that she sided with obama in believing that the president has all of the legal authority he needs in the aumf passed in response to the attacks but also that she like to the aumf for arguing that obama should have broader powers and wider freedom to act does not come but the gop is keenly aware that the president will almost certainly hand the war against is to his successor in party insiders say they want congress to approve an aumf that would put lawmakers at odds with the republican nominee constrain that options if he or she wins in november such a position is precarious for as their call for increased latitude militarily for obama runs counter to every argument made against the president that he has abused executive power on a variety of senate majority whip john who is in charge of scheduling votes on the said that there has been discussion of reconsidering an aumf in light of the paris but he also said there is not enough of a consensus that congress should push despite the loud protestations of president seem to think he needs additional and many of our democratic friends basically want to put limitations on the authority as part of an cornyn i would like for us to debate it and consider but that seem to be the majority opinion right on the other side of the newly minted republican house speaker paul ryan sounded less than enthused when asked at a press conference tuesday whether the house would act on an have the authority right now under the existing and revisit all of these issues he said obama sent congress a draft aumf early this year and the white house has repeatedly signaled that it is open to including language that would make the new legislation the only source of presidential authority for taking on it landed with a and the president shown much inclination to try to nudge it back to the document clearly reflects his national security desire that it not tie his it authorizes airstrikes in iraq and syria over the next three it forbids the use of american ground troops in offensive ground combat a deliberately vague it also allows strikes against and organizations fighting on behalf or alongside anywhere in the the senior gop congressional aide cited who spoke on the condition of anonymity to characterize current politics more noted that opposition has come from republicans who say the ground forces limitation is improperly restrictive and democrats who consider it overly as a even though raised voices on both sides of the aisle are demanding actual

thinking of getting into this i met with a lot of democratic rouda recently recalled during a gathering at university they all encouraged me to in frank the past chair of the orange county democratic said to you got a good chance of why is rouda you look like a last rouda advanced to the general election after finishing a mere votes ahead of his closest rival in one of this wildest primaries a

los angeles times report put it and he has spent the last three decades unapologetically with russian carrying legislation and advocating for the country and against an approach that has earned him the nickname favorite speculation has long swirled about and as the investigations into russian election meddling have his name has repeatedly cropped rohrabacher once met with and then accepted a

preview of his looming reelection battle an early glimpse at how democrats can juggle competing impulses on message and and still connect with voters in places that always vote for thinks cracked the code that figured out a way to please the restive democratic base without sacrificing his crossover on one he it helps that he looks and even at first glance like a with a background in business and a soothing message of and fiscal in gives him license to not sound like a republican on the subjects that most animate progressives such as health of to rouda must toe a risky halfway through his session at university the candidate declared that the of is the fact that of our government and culture the foundations of democracy are now under then he paused to recount a recent visit to german historical where he was reminded that rise of hitler was all based on hitler country is getting screwed stand with me and we can take our country rouda process then evolved into the denigration of minorities as a rallying point for his the implicit comparison was lost on no one especially after rouda recited first they martin famous poem about the third here was an orange county democrat openly comparing the president of the united states to adolf hitler and warning that america could go the way of nazi germany if his power is left going on right now is got a president trying to divide rouda

last years as area voters become disenchanted with the national direction and discouraged by the state decline flee the gop and reregister as democrats or another factor is who consistently underperforms among the sort of suburban republicans who exemplify prim and proper orange county no for that hillary clinton won and the as a whole in a first for a to defeat rouda will have to win over a lot of these clinton republicans turnout for this primary was up by a third from about more republican voted than this is where the whole like a thing ought to come in rouda at a town hall in santa in lara jo regan for yahoo more in rouda just look like a he actually spent most of his life identifying as born in and raised by republican parents in a republican he voted for a republican in his first presidential election and continued to vote republican for the next even rouda was always and his wife a novelist and lifelong democrat kept challenging his as a rouda reregistered as an independent in voted for john kerry in and recoiled when george bush and karl rove divided the country over cultural issues such as guns and gay it took rouda another two decades to fully complete his political between and he donated nearly to republican he was even voting for john mccain over barack obama in he told me least until mccain picked sarah palin as his running as recently as rouda gave to john a family and it until right before he announced his congressional run that he finally reregistered as a democrat and made his first contributions to any federal democratic given his republican it hard to imagine some progressives jumping to the conclusion that rouda at some sort of clintonian chief democratic pioneer hans spent much of the primary attacking him as a closet yet a reason rouda won each of the activist straw polls taken by indivisible oc the biggest progressive grassroots organization and the same reason the group endorsed him two months before june when we i asked rouda where he stood on pretty much every issue of and as far as i could the answer was always closer to bernie sanders than barack obama on health rouda believes in up medicare to individuals who want to buy into a kind of medicare for all that in his represent good safe first step toward something on rouda thinks it would be for the rest of america to adopt laws the strictest in the nation on he want to abolish but he does support the golden sanctuary which he calls good from the perspective of on rouda would like to provide tuition to public universities and trade schools for people from lower socioeconomic and on controversial question of whether he would support impeachment proceedings against rouda hints that he as long as the mueller investigation is allowed to run its harley rouda lara jo regan for yahoo more have been rouda told on past investigations of and how wide and deep this investigation is and the response to it all of that would suggest with a bullhorn that something there that is going to pique all of our interest and probably lead to significant grounds for impeachment proceedings if democrats take control of congress and should with a republican congress as i asked rouda if he considers himself a member of he he resistance is standing up and being active in what you believe and if what you believe is opposite the status then at a moment when democrats nationwide are lurching sharply such views are no longer what is unusual about rouda is the way he is presenting them to rouda spent the early part of his career as a he took over his regional real estate placed an early bet on the internet and quickly transformed the family business into one of largest real estate as rouda attempts to convince a temperamentally conservative district to support an agenda that his own website calls his résumé seems to be serving him sanders or elizabeth rouda avoids talking about medicare for all or free public college in moral he rarely resorts to righteous rouda argues that progressive policies are more fiscally responsible than the republican a medicare for all system would lower our health care costs by eliminating expensive er visits and allowing the government to compete with private and free college would improve economic competitiveness by preparing graduates for the future of and though it may have been a liability in the rouda is convinced that his political conversion story will boost his chances in he insists that not alone in his evolution more so in this district than other and that he knows how to connect with local republicans and independents because of to there was discomfort around here with the republican agenda on social but people could still stomach rouda told has changed rational republicans are saying enough is near the end of our i asked rouda about like the issue has sparked fierce infighting among national some have seized on it as a rallying cry for the others say that swing voters

are not running for office this year have the luxury of rejecting their controversial nominee what maine susan collins did monday when she wrote in the washington post that lacks the and judgment required to be also what those republican national security officials did when they announced that none of us will vote for donald trump but if a republican actually trying to get elected in november especially in a true tossup contest then your relationship with trump is probably more endorse him unequivocally and your democratic opponent will make you own every radioactive thing he break with him publicly and his plentiful supporters will call you a rino and threaten to punish you on election faced with such unpalatable nearly all of this most vulnerable republican senate candidates have tried to split the first announced that they to vote the or something similarly tepid and legalistic and then chided or avoided trump whenever it serves their in this approach makes it denies the press a damaging narrative senate candidate dumps while still keeping the donald at only one the tightrope strategy actually seem to be the more scandalous stuff trump the more his poll numbers fall and the more his numbers the thinner the trump tightrope trump fans trust democrats tie you to him no matter what you and you start to lose your no one has plummeted to his or her political death but right incumbent new hampshire kelly ayotte is looking like the wobbliest of the after trump dispatched his last two republican rivals in early communications director sent out the following said from the kelly plans to support the as a candidate she and planning to endorse anyone this get much more tightropey than at the ayotte was leading her democratic maggie by an average of percentage points in the polls some new hampshire surveys showed trump within striking distance of clinton since trump has made misstep after attacking a sparring with the parents of a fallen muslim american wondering aloud whether amendment might stop clinton from becoming his standing in new hampshire seems to be tanking as a in the poll showed him virtually tied with clinton now it gives hillary a staggering lead ayotte exactly shied away from criticizing trump and trump himself has taken notice but she is still said that going to be voting for our is how she put it earlier this unfortunately for new hampshirites appear to be turning against her like turning against four of the last six granite state surveys have given hassan the edge and the most recent the only one released after both the republican and democratic national conventions shows ayotte trailing the governor by a perilous percentage points incumbent pennsylvania pat toomey is in a similar never been a big trump he initially backed marco he voted for ted cruz in his april he called comments about judge gonzalo curiel deeply offensive and said that treating a gold star family with other than and is he attended any of four keystone state he even characterized campaign as highly problematic but toomey has also said that as a republican elected i am inclined to support the nominee of my party and he ruled out endorsing trump at some later so as trump has lost ground in pennsylvania average lead has grown from percentage points on june to percentage points today so has before toomey was outpacing his democratic katie by points on but mcginty who delights in linking toomey to trump at every turn has come out on top in six of the seven polls released since then with an average lead of percentage cash infusions from the koch brothers have helped keep the race but for the trend lines there are some signs that trump an impossible problem for these tossup gop senate candidates to it may be that the more you cozy up

illegal immigrants but the only public poll released this month shows democratic tammy ahead by percentage in the midst of all of this bad marquee senate battle between marco rubio and patrick murphy might seem like a bright spot for the after rubio seems to have built a fairly solid lead in the polls since pulling a and jumping into the race in late june and a trump tightroper too but examined more relative success is probably more discouraging than encouraging for the if you rubio spent the better part of a year trying to stop trump from becoming he has more wiggle room than pretty much any other republican because voters already know how he really feels about the none of fellow tightrope will get the same sort of space to continue to totter for the next the hope for the gop is that they fall ad even john mccain is getting the trump treatment in incumbent john mccain still needs to win his primary before officially squaring off against democratic challenger ann but that stopped the two candidates from battering each other with negative ads the latest volley is from who currently represents first congressional district in the in kirkpatrick attacks mccain for saying he will the more than even though trump has repeatedly disparaged military service and the kirkpatrick is that mccain that no longer the principled maverick who ran for president in and who knows if this message will unlike new hampshire or the arizona senate contest considered a mccain is a legend in the and every analyst insists that the race leans his way even in the disgust with trump is he looks and sounds a bit like a hostage being forced to repeat the phrase support the but perhaps the the more trump insults mccain and the more trump shoots off his mouth about stuff like amendment which the kirkpatrick camp quickly worked into its ad the more continued and repeated for the will serve to undermine his the latest polling shows trump leading clinton in arizona by the slimmest of margins and

office gilbert now owns a large share of the buildings in brittany greeson for yahoo more was warned by so many why are you doing mostly because of the kill gilbert do do but we have not experienced when duggan was elected three years gilbert immediately recognized him as different from his recent an an executor and he also recruits pretty good talent around gilbert told yahoo news from his office overlooking campus martius has a noble not like your typical about the not the quicken and its development have billion in real estate projects in the works for downtown including a billion investment to build the tallest building on the site of the historic department which was imploded in gilbert has also made sure his businesses have contributed to civic encouraging its employees to volunteer hundreds of thousands of hours to civic projects and donating millions for the construction of a which opened in gilbert acknowledges that his companies always portrayed the idealistic vision of inclusion put forth by city made a mistake once a while gilbert said of a sign in the window of a downtown bedrock the text of the display read detroit like we and the accompanying photo showed a busy street scene absent any gilbert publicly apologized for the ad and said the company had up thanks to investments in the downtown detroit has become a hot place to in the past two years rents in greater downtown have risen compared to percent while that change may be good for the tax it also has some residents wary about the have nothing to say against but he walked in the door at the right kevin a aspiring said of the mayor as he stopped to take pictures of city modern development in the brush park doing is riding the but the mayor do nothing because gilbert bought detroit native kelvin now of grosse at a residential construction site in brush just miles away from downtown brittany greeson for yahoo more like many believes the current pace of development will transform the city into something unrecognizable and showing us is that money is running lundy five this will all be a gated if not an it still not going to be able to afford gilbert is sensitive to that but understands why local residents bristle when outsiders portray downtown redevelopment as striving for a that wipes clean storied yet turbulent stuck it through the bad and the and all of a sudden some guy coming in with you know got a blank gilbert would rather look at it as taking the people stuck it and they have done some great things on the ground level put in some more capital and some more people in to enhancing and multiplying and making it better for investing in detroit when its fortunes were down was a spectacularly savvy but gilbert says he is also on board with vision of a city that segregated by race or twenty percent of the rental units at his brush park development will offered at affordable housing and another of the residences for sale will be set aside for residents as defined in relation to median going gilbert has also committed to helping the mayor meet his goal of building affordable housing units over the next five he is wholly bullish about residential construction begins in brush near downtown brittany greeson for yahoo more really even started gilbert everything is relative to people and it has been years of nothingness as far as growth and new construction and people moving in and all of the trends gets bucked for a short period of time and people in some sort of or i think close to a the new construction stuff is just getting got to years of this to just catch the lessons of detroit another notable duggan ally is jamie ceo of jpmorgan a bank with a long history in already the largest bank in and one of our founding banks was national bank of which was started by general motors in the great dimon told yahoo news in a phone been watching detroit as a train wreck for twenty and i was having that conversation with lee who runs and he started telling me how worried he was about i been worried about that but i also had read about this mayor who had been who is this white man who did a vote and was saying all the right not but get the street lights back get garbage picked try to create more create more affordable get companies to help duggan met with dimon in and convinced him of the need to start a fund to extend capital to minority entrepreneurs who get loans in the wake of stiff regulations put in place as a consequence of the great mayor is the pied he who can help open dimon none of this stuff that is and he does it with a smile and he keeps on had some and he just goes at it very detroit mayor mike duggan with a local resident working on a landscaping job in the fitzgerald neighborhood of brittany greeson for yahoo more the loans to minority business owners also turn out to be good dimon says that of the hundreds chase has made since starting the only one has gone into a lower rate than the traditional local we made million dollars in loans to small he referring to community development financial institutions that target funds for economically disadvantaged was so successful we made it and now it could be maybe and these are businesses in detroit that are going to hire people and hopefully will that program so far so good taking it to other chase has now invested million in and dimon applauds the mayor for looking for solutions that actually to reverse the policies that discriminated against agree with dimon hundred and fifty years after the civil we gotten anywhere close to a lot of it is because public policy the alliance between duggan and dimon may seem the democratic mayor shy away from calling out the role banks played in the mortgage meltdown of for jpmorgan while helping stabilize the industry by purchasing bear stearns and washington mutual at the height of the also agreed to pay a billion settlement with the government for its own role in selling risky mortgage securities that helped lead to the great recession that so impacted but working with duggan came as a revelation to who now sees the engagement of a mayor as a crucial ingredient in the decision about whether chase will invest in a the mayors are elected by you can pretty much kiss the city kind of what happened in detroit for dimon of the mayors ended up in the unions work well with the car so they had to move more and more jobs and when people work amazing what you can the rehabilitation of several mansions is seen as residential construction begins in brush brittany greeson for yahoo more on the success of the minority entrepreneur loans in the motor chase plans to start up what dimon calls in and san francisco to help fund mortgages as well as a fellowship initiative aimed at getting boys in minority areas through again after decades of claims by politicians that their city has finally turned a detroiters rightly remain skeptical that better days are here to yet you get the sense this time that maybe the city finally found rock spending all my time trying to get my colleagues to make the most of the because not often that you have this level of mission and jemison the bright

director katy says about accepting her first always even at its that detroit at its essence was a very beautiful that pride may seem incongruous for those who only know detroit from the dire media images that local residents refer to as but you hear it voiced tell is coming back come said cherryl the associate manager of a building the mayor helped secure for affordable housing for senior thing is and that bothers me because bad people wherever you go but detroit is not every city has bad a good got good associate manager for the kamper stevens senior cherryl brittany greeson for yahoo more in many popularity and success in detroit can be attributed to the fact that he has echoed the argument laid out in become a by respecting the learning about the entire city not just midtown and corktown knowing that detroit has more than not just the three you read about on and also realizing that a city that has a majority black population has suffered the brunt of a lot of the systemic damage that seen across black populations across the country dating back to foley has suffered the brunt of and no magic bullet or panacea that can solve all of the for continuing to bring down the rate of violent crime and growing population after decades of decline remain central but the biggest problem he sees impeding the recovery is its exorbitant car insurance have an absolutely scandalous system in this state that allows hospitals and trial lawyers to rip off tens of millions of duggan frustration rising in his is falling on the poorest not just in the city but the surrounding got

during president visit in paris in more went to france to study for a phd and was there as macron began to lay the groundwork for a run for the french presidency in needed someone who had experience in voter contact and volunteer and just no one really in france had done that paulson said in an when macron launched his most observers expected former prime minister françois fillon to easily win the but macron a product of elite universities and a former finance minister created a new political en and began to pioneer a kind of politics that france had not seen traditional way of doing campaigning in france is big rallies and passing out fliers at metro paulson but campaign invested most of its effort in identifying grassroots supporters and empowering them to recruit and build

have a combination of preparation and some huge lucky breaks to be he has a mixed view of whether the political environment in the is right for such a mélenchon and marine le julien via getty philippe more required the background condition of major disillusionment with the political system and desire for an openness to true everywhere in the western world right maybe outside of paulson and while paulson certainly sees the republican party as riven with he does not believe the democratic party in the is as or as far to the as left wing starting to see a way in which republicans become either split or paralyzed by a multiyear white house split between the hardcore trump supporters and those who i see those kind of fissures in the democratic paulson some other kind of massive event that splits major constituencies inside the democratic apart from one the democratic coalition seems relatively united against said he is worried that fellow democrats are not addressing basic problems of disenfranchisement that discourage many voters from participating in politics at he said he and searby agree on but we agree on kind of like everything that matters about broken in the lack of integrity and lack of and the money and the structural and the corruption and the redistricting all the systemic things that make politics feel broken and make it feel like politicians really working for the people they and searby said he think democrats have compelling vision for our future that lines up with the basic ideas that most americans have about how things should work in the federal while social tolerance and environmental responsibility are hallmarks of the coming they also are not clamoring for socialized a massive federal government with huge taxes or restrictions on freedoms of religion and the searby are working their tails off in the and want to not only remove barriers to their success but want the government to stay out of their overtax or tip the those are not values the democratic party the obstacles to an independent run in america are many and they are simply getting a candidate on the ballot in all states is a monumental and building up the volunteer infrastructure in each state to stand up an organization is a difficult and elections are far more expensive so fundraising is another massive challenge for any new but with the advent of fundraising and a candidate who captures the imagination of enough people could overcome that at the heart of what seems to drive operatives like both who comes from the and slaby and who come from the is a dissatisfaction with the obsession over national politics and federal all of which perpetuates a sense of powerlessness in people who are too far removed from the people and processes a true believer in less centralized control and more compelling ideas that people can rally around and make their for the benefit of their searby paulson voiced a yearning to promote greater by pushing power down away from the national and federal think the problem with democracy over the entire world is that living with these century representative models that have put a huge premium on voting in national elections as the ultimate expression of citizenship and popular i just think that what done is exacerbated this problem of national elites who are far away from and given openings to demagogues and populists and paulson the only solution to that is not electing better national shifting the focus or adding a focus on local horizontal distributed systems of political change and citizenship and not just who we vote for in a national paulson said that despite his involvement with he thinks way to disrupt political party systems the is not a opportunistic disruption at a slightly lower french candidate emmanuel macron is shown on a television screen backstage before a debate in eric more think being disruptive at the state level to me would have a much higher likelihood of success than a moonshot of a national independent paulson states where one party is whether the other party is and where an opening to run a slate of candidates for a statewide but example has ignited the

majority party your supporters say only because the president is an evil buffoon and everyone has figured it when the majority they say your because obviously you failed to make clear to people what an evil buffoon the president really so it goes for nancy come under withering criticism since democrats got clobbered in two more special elections for congress last facing calls for her the longtime house leader acknowledged that something of an easy target for republican ad makers who want to portray the party as a bunch of coastal and she wryly told reporters at the think worth the to be pelosi had almost nothing to do with the recent all of which came in conservative districts the party had no business but that quote said a lot about the way she and her aging contemporaries think about pelosi should leave the stage not because but because what democrats desperately more than any new branding strategy or is a turnover in which is why the rest of the oldster luminaries should follow her to the a question for all you trivia buffs to who do you think was the last nonincumbent democrat over to win the white not talking about harry truman or lyndon both of whom inherited the but someone running against a sitting president or at the end of an a you and neither were your the answer is woodrow who ran so long ago that you could still be both a progressive and a white supremacist and not have everyone find that completely why is not because there any older candidates to vote or because america was somehow from time to the country elected no fewer than five new republican presidents who were at least that in before george the last nonincumbent republican under to win the white house was herbert because democrats win when they embody liberalism triumphs only when it represents a reforming of rather than the mere preservation of franklin john jimmy bill clinton barack obama all of in one way or offered a stark departure from the orthodoxies of the americans need democrats to stand up for nostalgia and they already have republicans for of all the democratic presidents i mentioned had assists from leaders in having a house leader necessarily doom a party to except that never in its history has the democratic party been so thoroughly dominated by the loud voices of its oldest if republican candidates so gleefully featuring pelosi in their be going after bernie sanders or elizabeth warren or joe biden or hillary none of whom seems remotely interested in yielding the the only younger democrat you could fairly call a national spokesperson for the party is its tom perez whose big idea this week was to form a human chain around the or maybe just remembering an episode of i be not just that all these iconic democrats are that their vision for the party with the possible exception of and is relentlessly for health expanding social security benefits for the and free college for pay for all of it with tax increases that magically cover the they want everything the generation always without any acknowledgment of what public money has failed to or of how technology might transform the institutions of they persist in using the same tired language from the same consultants by the for that has already numbed most americans to the point of tuning out political rhetoric in any publicly held business where the leaders were this old and grounded in the the ceo would probably be in on how well he or she had planned for but no succession plan among the democratic septuagenarian determined to replay the on an endless for as long as they worth the even if pelosi were to step her most likely successor would be steny who might have made for an excellent party leader at one but who is himself behind him comes james who is one of my favorite politicians to but who is about to turn no chance for a younger talent like tim who has already challenged pelosi and and who is almost certain to run for governor instead of hanging likely not much future in leadership for a guy like adam schiff the california congressman whom millions of americans now know as the chief investigator of president trump in the house no clear path to national office for a younger senator like kirsten gillibrand or michael or even a celebrity like cory continually eclipsed by their certainly how old you are as important here as your there are democrats approaching retirement age virginia mark warner and colorado john hickenlooper come to mind who are nonetheless modernists by outlook and could infuse the party with a sense of newness and and certainly you can lay some of the blame for the current stasis on younger some of whom are good enough orators to excite the but who have thus far failed spectacularly to offer any reformist agenda to match the if you have a competitive governing you have much to complain but the bottom line is that democrats squander their historical advantage by rallying around elders who would build a better time machine than their republican liberalism need its own version of america great it needs a vision to make america new a party that revolves around pelosi and sanders and warren not to mention the

the other arab countries even recognize that israel has the right to so the stakes were immensely the only army that could actually destroy israel was the egyptian and carter took the egyptian army off the not a shot has been fired in the years carter believed that what you did in an election campaign was separate from what you did when you actually became you could say all kinds of things in the campaign to get but once carter became every day he got up and do i do that is right right for the not right for me from the time that zionists arrived in what was then called around the turn of the there had been violence between jewish settlers and they fought at the time of israeli independence in they fought again in but the egyptians were not really direct parties to that until the which only lasted six was a total rout by they conquered a huge amount of the sinai which was much larger than israel this was an enormous blow to egyptian egypt vowed and so on yom kippur in the highest holy day in the jewish they launched a sneak attack on israel to try to get back some of what they had but it was basically a henry he had something called shuttle where he would go from damascus to cairo to they did get tentative accords but without a a full peace treaty going to and carter recognized this that either he got personally involved or it was unlikely that israel and egypt would go

worry about a dramatic spike in overall usage and teenage the people who were smoking marijuana before it was legal still the people who smoking marijuana before it was legal still we were worried about we were worried about kid usage going people coming into work the branding of the we seen anything negative in regard to any of those some studies shown that teenage use is up not in colorado people fight over which data sets to but the largest database we have thousands of kids shows that teenage use is essentially in the same thing across all age groups with the exception of senior more senior citizens appear to be not a huge but a or percent not sure if pain mitigation or if just baby boomers remembering their high school laughs i know what that would you support amendment knowing what you now you hard to what said before is that if i had a magic wand when it first passed and i could have reversed the i would now if i had a magic wand probably put it back in the drawer for a couple of want to see more not sure vote for it but certainly the old system was a train so if i had a and i tell other governors this wait a couple of get more data in to see whether this thing really colorado governor john hickenlooper in the colorado state carl bower for yahoo more what data do you want to what do you need to know before you declare legalization an unqualified like a couple more years on teenage just to make also like more data on overall and finally beginning to do scientific the fact that we have good data on the effects of prolonged marijuana use what it does to your memory that to very if no state was willing to take the first never get these louis brandeis was the first to say the states are laboratories of this is a classic has being the governor in charge of recreational legalization made it harder to talk to your son about if been i bet i go two weeks without having a discussion with in ninth grade so he just went into one of the big public high schools here in within three weeks of being somebody offered to sell him some he came back and told me and i you buy did and he laughed and so of course i buy the i do politically laughs politically but really what he meant is that heard about it so much that it even something that and he said that none of his friends had even considered not something any of them are looking forward to experimenting why we spent a bunch of time and a bunch of money trying to market some of the risks of this marijuana to we took the tax money and prioritized it toward the unintended consequences of this year spend million on tv ads and radio ads and when i was a there was an old movie called reefer madness it was and by hysterical i mean hysterically they were so over the top in terms of what would happen if anyone ever dared to touch so i graduated from high school in in my senior percent of the kids had tried marijuana before they graduated they did a now it was much they say it was to the intensity of the marijuana out there but it was pretty so it was kind of reefer madness and all the hysteria that surrounded marijuana in the and earlier made us so cynical about the whole thing and that lesson tempers how we market the risks to teenagers so that hear did your mother ever talk to you about she never talked to me about it in terms of use she never said one thing or we did end up having because i tried it and she found a little bit in my then we had a serious her point if you want to break the do it in my years i control everything you but i think being and whatever you you break the law in my not did you listen to she was exactly and i never did but pot is something you experimented with when you were younger just like percent of your high school what were your feelings about it before you became a i was aware that it was out i was always surprised sometimes be at house for dinner and someone would light up a joint after the i was i never thought they smoked laughs when you speak to families wives what do they tell you about legalization and how affecting all over the there are some parents who no matter what the data they think the worst thing ever happened to the state and that their kids are at risk unreasonable and i tell to any before it was any kid who wanted it could get it and they like it is and i not what the data but people feel that a lot of people are still worried about their but just like drinking is but you come in same with marijuana you smoke it at you come in if it affects your your boss has the right to fire do families seem to be registering any of the positive there are people who are engaged in the community especially people who welcome the change because the old war on drugs was such a we were sending so many kids to giving them a felony on their that was the wrong the son of a friend of mine interviewed me for a school project about two years he was afterwards i asked you think more likely that your friends will try use now that and he looked at me and and you drug dealers care who they sell it so we could always get if you guys tax it right and figure out how to get rid of the black the drug then actually make it harder for us kids to get access to was your son we have some anecdotal evidence that there are fewer drug dealers on the which makes they estimated that marijuana was to percent of the drug if you take to percent of any retail sales product out of not going to be able to support the same number of i had never really thought about donald trump recently got a lot of problems going on right now in some big it sounds like you think trump is he every state has the big problems are the ones you know how to deal how have you dealt with the problems that have arisen from in most the things we should have worried about been able to come back and a his kid was at a went into the and some other kid offered him a gummy bear infused with marijuana for just not the kind of stuff we but since then really come down on now you cannot infuse anything that looks like candy anything that looks like meant for no little gummy no no none of like most we have caregiver rules that allow people to grow marijuana if providing it to people for medical our original law allowed these caregivers to grow up to a not a so this year we cut it back to colorado governor john hickenlooper in the colorado state capitol on april carl bower for yahoo more what challenges there are two bills working their way through the colorado legislature right one allowing home delivery and one allowing pot where do you draw the we knew there would be a large group of people with a in continuing to normalize pot i personally think too early to be delivering especially because of attorney general clear opposition to recreational been just take a deep breath what about the pot a possibility some people will interpret them the wrong as somehow making pot easier for kids to i see that great a risk that horse is out of that a pot not going to be able to smoke you smoke we have a statewide indoor health so at a pot club you can sit around and eat big they can do that right the attorney general just ordered the justice department to review its policy on pot what are you going to do if sessions tries to crack down on marijuana in your you amendment passed percent to percent polls show over percent approval i

they were to overturn the never have so many keyboards been worn out in the service of such of course we no one travels the country as widely or talks to as many voters as a campaign some of us had been writing for even about the growing alienation of less affluent white literally thousands of stories had been devoted to the but that facile explanation this idea that we just know the depth of the rage out there enabled us to sidestep the harder which is that a lot of that rage was directed squarely at for years a lot of americans have been taking in the smugness on cable tv and watching journalists chase their own brand of and decided that the political press corps is a pretty good for everything wrong in a country where a educated stratum of the society reaps all the economic

weighs their chances of ousting donald trump from office in the question is whether governmental experience still sort of blew up the but i think an example of exactly what you want in a former vermont howard dean told yahoo want to see someone who knows what an unsuccessful candidate for the democratic presidential nomination in thinks the democrats would do well to nominate a younger candidate in someone who might not have the extensive washington background of former new york senator and secretary of state hillary is not looked upon as favorably as it once even by people in my dean i think not going to want to put someone who know anything about government because seen what happens when you do for the debate over presidential preparedness was centered on whether it was better to first be a senator or the governor of a while senators were seen as having the advantage of understanding how washington running a state as governor was viewed as executive like learning to ride a bike with training when he announced his presidential candidacy in then barack obama was hammered by critics democrats and republicans alike over what they considered his lack of then barack just before announcing his candidacy for president in february charles rex more but obama deftly parried that calling into question the value of experience amuses me lately how some folks in washington have been talking not sure that got enough experience in foreign obama said at a speech in atlanta same folks who are talking about lack of experience are the same folks who joined up with george bush and said war in was a good that somehow we were going to be made that we are going to be greeted as that we are going to create a democracy in in many trump followed a similar going on the offensive against jeb bush over the iraq which was started by his george trump himself had even less experience in foreign policy than he did in domestic which was almost the war in iraq was a big fat trump said at a republican primary but even more so than trump helped rewrite national perceptions on the question of attacking others for the weaknesses in his own having been granted five draft deferments during the vietnam trump grabbed a third rail in american portraying john military service and years as a prisoner of war as something less than not a war trump of mccain at a campaign event in july of was a war hero because he was i like people who taking advantage of an unusually crowded republican trump stood out from the pack by utilizing the novel strategy of openly mocking his political that was epitomized in an exchange with rand paul at a september republican primary debate in which paul was asked whether the idea of trump controlling the nuclear weapons gave him visceral response to attack people on their appearance ugly my that happened in junior paul we not way above would we not all be worried to have someone like that be in charge of the nuclear unthinkable from a more conventional response felt more like the inevitable punchline to a joke paul had unwittingly set never attacked him on his and believe me plenty of subject matter right that i can tell trump said

president was a bad in the same given their choice between two television they favored oprah winfrey over former white house strategist steve bannon agrees that in the new political winfrey would be the democrat to pose the greatest challenge to trump in think in a different bannon said in an interview last week with think in an era that media and understanding media and understanding how to communicate on a mass basis to the american people is so much more important than being in a state but is celebrity really all required to get one started on the quest for highest office in the think enough to get you into the and then you have to win the debate going duhaime a name id point of trump started with a oprah winfrey would also start with that kind of oprah winfrey jordan more while dean writes off bannon as provocateur and a bomb he disagree that the most important quality for a democratic challenger to trump may not be the number of pages in his or her government think experience is a but the real thing is dean have to have someone who is going to punch trump in the and just tell him to shut up and sit down without being rude about you have to tell him politely to shut up and sit down and that an the public wants somebody while prospective democratic candidates like former vice president joe vermont bernie california kamala harris and new jersey corey booker

parade west of the mississippi but in known for being one of the most republican counties in missouri a considerable distinction in a state that has steadily grown redder in recent especially here in the heavily rural southwest part of the so it would seem strange to find claire mccaskill here in the final days of a reelection campaign she readily describes as the of her stumping in a county where donald trump won nearly percent of the vote two years ago and where the democrat has never come close to but on a recent exactly where mccaskill was pacing back and forth in the back room at a small restaurant just outside downtown marshfield where a review boasts that the catfish is your mama about mostly aarp age and sat listening as she made her they sipped sweet tea and flipped through pages of campaign literature including a flier talking up record of holding town hall meetings over the last year every corner of even the parts where people like me very and become a key element of closing argument in a race that many predict could end up being the closest in the country and will play a role in determining which party controls the a democrat who describes herself as one of the last true centrists in an increasingly polarized mccaskill is wagering big on trump country in the final days of the gambling on her gut feeling that people will respect and support a candidate who comes to them and makes her case in even if they and even if not enough to shift a picking up or votes could make the difference in a race she believes will come down to mccaskill campaigns in holly more trying not just to go to the usual places that candidates i know how many statewide candidates on the democratic side stop in webster but i think really important that i show that i work for everybody in this mccaskill said in an may not agree with me on but i bet we agree on and i bet more effective at getting those things done than somebody who is always just casting blame on the other that somebody she refers to is josh the republican attorney general who has built his campaign largely around his unabashed loyalty to trump and his argument that mccaskill is a out of step with the values of a majority of missouri voters who strongly support the does not represent this state she does not represent the people of hawley declared at a debate earlier this while mccaskill talks extensively about policies that she says prove a champion for average missourians including her work for veterans and prosecutorial zeal in going after the pharmaceutical industry on drug prices and its role in the opioid epidemic hawley has nationalized the he regularly tells missourians that a vote for mccaskill is a vote for the agenda of nancy pelosi and chuck an ivy former law professor and former clerk for supreme court chief justice john hawley has enjoyed a meteoric rise in gop first winning elected office just two years almost top including senate majority leader mitch recruited hawley to run against and he even though he had publicly said he would not use the attorney general job as a steppingstone to higher in hawley even ran an ad showing a roomful of people climbing ladders an attack on who used office to get implying he would not do the missouri attorney general josh hawley during a debate with carolina louis public more mccaskill often mentions the out he had a ladder in his she told voters this criticizing her opponent as a political opportunist who lacks her record of public including six years in the state five years as the jackson county prosecutor in kansas eight years as state auditor and her years in the ronald reagan gonna try not to hold his youth and inexperience against the who is told voters in i will tell i think important to remember that we had an experience in where we had people burst into the her audience experience and her record as a moderate been enough to overcome appeal among conservative the race has been in a dead heat for race is as close as it she mccaskill has always faced uphill battles in running for office as a in she lost most of rural missouri but narrowly won by running up the votes in louis and kansas in she won handily over a todd whose remarks about became a national embarrassment to that mccaskill won even deeply conservative counties in southern including greene home of which she visited this week hoping to persuade voters to give her a third but a cool and careful is not prone to and his message of pledging loyalty to who has visited missouri three times to campaign on his plays well in a region where the president remains enormously hawley has said he believes trump is doing a and disagrees with that president has done so far including the trade war with which could potentially devastate the agricultural and manufacturing a war the chinese hawley said last going to be in a for winning missouri attorney general and senate candidate josh hawley appears with president trump at a rally in on mike more to have any chance of mccaskill will have to find trump voters willing to break with their party to support her a task she admits be easy but insists is on the she has emphasized her local she was born in in rural central and grew up in tiny where her father worked at the local her parents were deeply involved in her father served as chairman of the county democratic he was later elected state insurance and the family moved to where her mother became the first woman elected to the city in ads mccaskill has emphasized that she left under the influence of her has dedicated her life to public service in behalf of her home while mccaskill is folksy and personable on the she campaigns like the prosecutor she used to meticulously presenting her case for what she has done for average missourians and defending herself against charges that gone too far to the left for the am a pure and right down the she said last know i cast every vote the way every missourian wants me kind of in a good spot because no matter how i half the people at home are no way to please everybody in she told voters in you press on yourself about trying gotta vote on what you think is right and be willing to to go into town halls all over this no matter whether popular there or unpopular and unlike democrats in some other mccaskill have the luxury of running a campaign aimed just at turning out her it big she has a colorful way of explaining the electorate in got percent of the people in missouri that watched sean hannity the other night and got percent of the people in missouri watching rachel the rest of missouri is watching with the and they like us or any of she trying to always think about those people watching with the and not paying as close attention to who said what and whether or not backed up with any campaign rv leaves an event in holly more but unclear whether mccaskill is effectively reaching the with the touring trump country in her campaign rv last the senator spoke mostly to friendly including many voters who were already supporting ahead of her arrival in a show of hands revealed just one republican in the and in she spoke at her campaign office to a crowd that mostly included local democrats and campaign asked whether she felt she was getting her message out to the voters she mccaskill bluntly but working hard at complicating the efforts in the final days of the campaign is the intense spending by outside groups that have bombarded the race with political more than million has been spent on the race so far than half it by groups looking to defeat according to the center for responsive among other republicans have targeted mccaskill for her dubbing her and suggesting out of touch with america a gop attacked her for using a private plane to fly between campaign stops earlier this year and called attention to reports that businesses linked to her developer joseph had received millions in federal subsidies although there was no evidence that mccaskill had played a role in securing the on the road this mccaskill repeatedly condemned the role of in the she urged voters to go to her website to read if they have questions about allegations made in and volunteers handed out a fact sheet titled to recognize fake on her campaign launched a new television ad featuring several veterans defending her against the dark money checked the facts on all these and just not one of the speakers have to like but know one in the she done anything to help her an billboard along a highway in holly more but as cnn reported a new radio ad took the argument with a supporter not one of those crazy that line is unlikely to sit well with some of more liberal including in urban areas where a source close to the campaign said it has struggled to appeal to black and progressive voters who are fervently and have been disappointed to see overtures to the president and his a democratic source said the campaign is concerned that she might not rack up the numbers she needs in louis and kansas mccaskill has measured her words about she criticizes the he has brought into the just think that we should be setting an example that the leader of the most amazing nation in the world thinks ok to lie all the mccaskill said in her final debate with lie after lie after but when a woman in marshfield pressed her on why she try to call out trump listing the mistruths she felt the president had gotten away including his suggestion earlier this week that a tax cut could be passed before election the senator interrupted i i but you know gotta convince everybody in missouri of because of the state i represent gotta convince them that i get up every day trying to figure out a way to fight president mccaskill get up every day trying to figure out a way to fight for and there are some things that president trump has done that i agree a whole lot of things he said and the way conducted himself that i disagree she complains that the flamboyant theatrics in the white house have overshadowed some actual including bills she that were signed into among them was a bill that banned that prohibited pharmacists from disclosing to patients that it would be cheaper to pay for certain medications out of pocket than use insurance the kind of nonflashy legislation that she argues has a big impact on mccaskill campaigns in holly more but her job in the last week before the election was to break through both to trump voters and also members of her own party who she felt taking the midterm election seriously have plenty of voters to win this election if they remember that this midterm should be treated like a she have a bad habit of not thinking the midterms are as and this is one that really mccaskill looked around the

most anyone could the party wound up winning seats roughly twice the number even the most optimistic partisans had predicted before the in has led to newfound optimism for the party going into according to politico democratic leaders are now predicting fundraising and candidate recruitment powered by grassroots fury at the trump when it comes to the conventional wisdom is the more the the failed agenda being pushed by paul ryan and washington no wonder that strong candidates are stepping up to the plate in orange county and across says drew a spokesperson for the democratic congressional campaign deep bench of outsider candidates is a testament to the incredible grassroots energy we are seeing on the or as the dccc ben ray has said elsewhere party ever lost an election due to too much energy and but is shaping up to be such an unusual election cycle that one has to could an unprecedented glut of democratic hopefuls and the crowded primaries that are sure to follow tip the scales the other could democrats be in danger of having too much of a good at is the line that republicans in the traditional conservative stronghold of orange county are the republicans are unified behind one candidate in each of these races and the democrats have divided loyalties to candidates who have no name county gop chairman fred whitaker has according to the orange county register pretty happy with and more than anywhere the will be the place to watch to find in november with roughly a year to go until election day only one democrat had launched his candidacy across all of orange now there are seven democratic candidates running in district alone and in the as a where diversifying a dwindling republican registration advantage and hillary groundbreaking countywide

rohrabacher in prior democratic candidates for congress in doug mike andy thorburn and yahoo getty more a andy a environmental activist mike raised nearly a million dollars since announcing his candidacy in and retired marine doug who came within votes of unseating issa in not to mention more like political scientists say a strong relationship between the number of candidates a party recruits and the record on election a party can convince a large number of skilled and experienced candidates to run for those candidates tend to do better and the party tends to win more seth masket of the university of denver wrote in august for the fivethirtyeight had twice the number of challengers that republicans did in and then took over the house in that while a similar advantage yielded similar payoffs for republicans in in his masket plotted the democratic share of early house challengers that candidates who raised more than by june of the year before the election against the number of seats democrats eventually gained or lost on election he found that in every election since in which democrats fielded more candidates than they also wound up gaining seats an additional house members per each additional advantage in early house on the most extreme example was when nearly percent of the early house candidates were that the party netted seats on election apply the same formula to the masket and democrats will be on track to pick up house seats the gain in which brings us to the problem with the political science on the numbers so far this cycle are way off the charts making it pretty much impossible to predict how things will ultimately shake case in according to a recent analysis by michael malbin executive director of the nonpartisan campaign finance democratic challengers have already raised or no other cycle comes the next highest tally belongs to the who in october boasted fewer than half as many candidates with or in at every fundraising level the democratic class of is more than twice as large as the republican class of also unprecedented is the fact so far this percent of the candidates cleared are by october of republicans could only lay claim to percent of the club and they still managed to pick up seats the following thanks to that tea party so so good for the but the flip side of this flood of democratic challengers is that a lot of them are clustering into a few pivotal competing against each other for the opportunity unseat the most vulnerable republican as malbin points democratic challengers have filed fec reports in the race against the jeff in seven are running against dana rohrabacher in seven against peter roskam in and seven against john faso in the most these challengers can do in the general election is defeat four in other there may be viable democratic challengers out on the trail right but only running against republican incumbents which means on dems are already competing in each primary with roughly a year to go until election rewind to this point in the last democratic wave cycle and see that the average number of primary candidates back then was significantly about dems per none of which is bad for the per the only way to lay the groundwork for a wave election is by fielding solid candidates for as many flippable seats as then waiting for the national mood to turn in your by that this democrats are miles ahead of where republicans were in the fall of when only democratic incumbents had drawn viable yet not impossible to imagine that squeezing seven or eight democrats into a competitive house primary could have some unintended level of enthusiasm that comes with such a crowded field almost always outweighs any says dan a former spokesman for republicans pete wilson and john who until recently ran the jesse unruh institute of politics at the university of southern there needs to be some type of organization or structure through which to channel all that the first thing to note is that unlike when then dccc chair rahm emanuel recruited the right found the money and funded them and provided issues for them is all about grassroots activists making the leap to electoral politics on their own this means less less less centrism and more more idiosyncrasies and likely more from a short leap to a more unpredictable primary as in the gop presidential primary contest when the popular vote was divided among a dozen candidates the eventual nominee could wind up being a plurality candidate who represents a passionate faction of the but that always the same thing as a nominee the best fit for the district in a general in some democrats worry that in such a scenario republicans could their thumbs on the says dave one of two university of irvine law professors running against walters in with five other so many we run the risk that the incumbent will play in our min tells yahoo could spend money to help pick a weaker candidate the challenger they want to face in the a cramped field can also complicate the problem so much a lack of so overall receipts have been impressive that all have to spend down to zero in the while the republican incumbent saves her according to have more than a million dollars on hand to define the contest from day one while our nominee will have to start over from things could get even wilder in where control of congress may ultimately be decided and where democrats compete against republicans and independents in a nonpartisan primary top two finishers proceed to the general election regardless of party the risk is that splitting the democratic vote seven or eight ways in a historically conservative area could allow a challenger to finish second and go with the gop incumbent next this has happened in republican gary miller was gerrymandered out of his previous district and forced to run in a district that leaned to the in the redlands democrat pete aguilar actually won the most democratic votes but because three other democrats were also republican bob dutton squeaked past him with percent of the vote and faced off against miller in the general it could happen in for one stelian is already campaigning against rohrabacher he has pledged to spend half a million dollars of his own money while former county gop chairman scott is waiting in the wings with more cash on hand than rohrabacher a libertarian and an independent candidate are running as dccc has said to prevent such absolutely reserve the right to get involved in these primaries where necessary in the democrats should be excited

steve and four others were injured before the shooter was subdued by including capitol police security below are accounts from congress members who spoke to the media in the wake of the mo on cnn right now we did hear about or if you are familiar with the movie the we practice on their baseball so it is a pretty good time for all except for the fact that the democrats have beaten us so but i was on deck about to and i hear i look and behind third in the dug i see a and i see a little bit of a body and then i hear another and i realize there is an active at the same time i hear steve scalise over near second base steve was our majority the gun was a it continues to fire at different you can imagine all the people in the field i run around to the side of home we have a batting cage with plastic wrapped around it to stop foul i was lying on the ground as gunfire heard a break in the gunfire and decided to take a ran from home plate to the base dugout for better there were a number of congressmen and congressional staffers who help us lying on the one of them was wounded in the took off my and myself and another congressman applied a tourniquet to try to slow down the in the towards the side of the dugout there is gunfire about five or seven feet to my people near the scene of a shooting at the republican congressional baseball team practice in on shawn more look up and a guy with a gun blasting it was one of the good one of our security detail who was shooting of course it was pistol versus rifle along the line just outside the chain link and he was ordering us to stay another security detail person was closer to home probably i see him but probably on the home plate side of the using the dugout as cover as firing and there must have been shots hard to itemize eventually they shot both of our security detail there were some congressmen on the phone screaming for related shooting at gop baseball practice in like a long and we even hearing sirens from local police which tells me they yet know what was going eventually the shooter started circling around third of course down on the ground and helping the guy got a bullet hole in his and the shooter starts coming around home plate towards where we outside the fence and my understanding is where our security detail took him at which once we got the that the shooter was we ran out to second base for steve we started giving him some putting i put pressure on his wound in his and a congressman from ohio brad fortunately is a he started doing what you need to do to try to minimize the blood thereafter the police showed and a helicopter landed in center field and took away whomever the folks decided was the most most i know who that person at that time the police were causing all of us to gather outside the line in the chain link fence in order to help assure if there was a second shooter that we would be better jeff to reporters had a lot of and i think he must have been secured behind the dugout for a so it was hard to get to initially he was right out in the our saw him raise the gun and he in the world is someone out here bird hunting at this we were doing batting there are a number of members and staff steve scalise was on second playing second fielding and all of a sudden we heard heard a very loud everybody like a the gunman was over by the dugout with a clear view of the field and everybody on then all of a a couple more and we knew what it and i just remember seeing some gravel as shots were coming near so we climbed into the dugout and tried to get our own people some people are calling it was at least minutes because we were applying pressure to one of the staffers who was shot in the leg and we got a belt put that could see steve scalise out in the he dragged himself after he was shot from near second about or yards into the a little further away from the but he was laying motionless out so i wanted to get to but there were still shots going overhead from both and so when we heard that the shooter was i just ran out to and started putting pressure on the and for about or did that until the medics baseball equipment scattered on the field where a shooting took place at the practice of the republican congressional baseball team in shawn more ron on fox news actually left a little probably about a couple minutes before this all and as i was getting into the car with one of my jeff there was a guy that walked up to us that was asking whether there was republicans or democrats out it was just a little and then he kind of walked toward the area where all this and so told the police brad on fox news felt like i was back in iraq but without my i had just gone to the batting cages coming in from the field and heard the shot and everyone got and then i noticed that steve was down playing second and everyone was trying to get off of the steve was really security detail that fortunately was here because steve scalise was here began to a few other people got rand on msnbc was in the batting cage at the and the first shot was sort of an isolated i grew up in the south and someone just discharged a which that unusual in the but then i in the not in the country then after the first shot then there was a rapid succession of five or so outside the on the line at the batting cages outside the about a fence between me and the and in the field i see scalise is shot but and trying to drag himself through the dirt out into the there are two staffers in right field only about feet from but about a fence separating me from and they were laying but then seeing the shots hitting the dirt around them and trying to make a difficult do we lay stay and hope he hit and this is the difficult or does the shooter just advance and come closer and shoot so you have to make the decision at some point of whether to stay or and so one of the staffers scrambled up over the it was probably a he did it in about two seconds i think i could have done on the outside of the and he and i are hiding behind a but the gunshots are landing in the dirt in the outfield and around and it takes a few minutes to determine not sure where coming my instinct was they were coming from the and as more shots were fired we were pretty but kind of not sure which side of the tree to stand on because not sure where the shots are coming but everybody seemed to be congregating away from the line behind a small in the the people on the field unfortunately have much of a chance because nobody could get to them and they get to us it was a wide open field and there was no way to get to people like scalise until the firing had at one point it appeared the gunman i think he continued to i probably heard we heard the response from capitol hill actually very lucky they were they do a great these are brave men and and we were really lucky they were everybody probably would have died except for the fact capitol hill police were and the only reason they were there is we had a member of leadership on our if scalise been on the team and unfortunately he was and i hope he does well by him being there he probably saved else jeff via his

territories and the district of columbia have entrance and exit polls have been conducted in of those more than actual voters have been if you want to know which americans trump is performing best with not in but at the ballot box you simply have to sift through the results at the same researchers have been busy probing the intentions and two of the most interesting polling projects the rand presidential election panel and the institute for the study of citizens and politics panel at the university of pennsylvania have returned again and again to the same measuring how their perspectives and preferences have changed over there in other no shortage of data on trump yet even the best polling has its it can tell you a lot about big groups of but it tell you all that much about the people and the way the polls are publicized is even more with headlines that treat a strongest demographic as if it were his or her only so yahoo politics is trying something decided to take advice and the cameras to focus on supporters in much the same way the media has focused on trump to look at them as people rather than plenty of trump fans have been quoted in the chiming in here or there after a but our goal is to dig after talking to scores of trump voters in more than a dozen we identified six who seemed to embody the spectrum of support and whose stories supplied the sort of nuance that numbers alone ron an insurance agent from eileen a mother of two from justin a vehicle maintenance foreman from rick a semiretired contractor from royal nell a real estate agent from and a lawyer from then we circled spending hours with each of asking about their their their fears of their fondness for all six are profiled polls and studies have taught us a lot about the trump since the institute for the study of citizens and politics has been surveying the same panel of many of whom have sided with trump in the current gop the most recent survey wrapped up in early the as iscp political science professor daniel hopkins recently put provide unparalleled look at trump attitudes long before they even knew trump would whether in or so what did hopkins prior to the people who would go on to back him in rated themselves much less conservative than the people who would go on to back ted the distinction was most pronounced on social future trump supporters were almost as as future hillary clinton they were also a little less opposed to marriage than future cruz yet they were more populist on economic issues as slightly more supportive of government spending in a bit less likely to favor repealing and far more hostile toward in they were markedly less likely to have favored a pathway to citizenship for illegal on foreign future supporters tended to call themselves but in compared to those who would later support they were far more likely to oppose keeping troops in iraq a position that neatly aligns with they also scored higher on measures of and prejudice than voters who would go on to back either cruz or marco rubio a theme that has continued to resurface in coverage of the the rand poll fleshed out these contrary to popular rand found that a substantial proportion of the gop primary electorate is relatively liberal on pocketbook percent or favored increasing taxes on individuals who make more than a for while percent had a favorable or very favorable opinion of labor trump performed especially well with these outpacing cruz by percent among republicans who raising taxes on the rich and percent among republicans who feel toward labor rand also found that trump benefited from biases against and women clobbering cruz among republicans who that threaten american customs and and trouncing the texan among republicans who that who complain about harassment cause yet the strongest indicator of support for trump stronger than employment educational household attitudes toward attitudes toward illegal immigrants or attitudes toward hispanics was a feeling of according to republicans were percent more likely to prefer the manhattan mogul if they or agreed that like me have any say about what the government supporters form a powerful populist coalition uniting concerns about immigrants and other groups with support for economically progressive the rand study most of the rand and iscp observations were borne out once republicans started voting in in state after state whether trump finished first or not entrance and exit polls have showed that he consistently garners a higher percentage of the vote among certain segments of the electorate than he does trump tends to overperform among for example usually by five or more percentage the same goes for voters who cite immigration as their top in he fared percentage points better among these voters than he did among ohioans the list of indicators for supporting trump runs voters over voters who earn less than a voters white who graduate from voters from rural voters who are at the voters who are about the voters who think trade voters who fear that they are voters who think that illegal immigrants ought to be voters who believe that muslims should be temporarily banned from entering the voters who are convinced that the gop nominee should come from the voters above all want a president who it like it or can about needed voters who settled on their candidate of choice

she she admired his work ethic and his ability to pick himself up and move on after has built an incredible life and she worked hard for everything he hearing schmidt talk about trump brings to mind how people talked about barack obama eight years in she sees a candidate who can bring hope and change in an era of economic she and her husband live in just west of iowa where the university of iowa is the biggest the where schmidt works and also goes to has kept the region relatively secure but she said people are still her who runs his own excavating has seen competitors go out of business as

wearing a rugby shirt emblazoned with the seal of alma when i met him even though vance himself attended edinboro we bonded over presidential then we got to talking about his own political carter was my first vance told me in his pittsburgh i voted for carter again because i thought reagan was going to get us into world war when that never i this guy a crackpot like everyone said he so the next time i voted for vance went on to explain that he has bounced back and forth between the parties ever from george bush to clinton as bad as i thought he would to al gore and john kerry bush bright to mccain and romney obama was young and he even voted for hillary clinton in the democratic i was in more than a decade of interviewing i had never encountered anyone quite like and he was about to surprise me who are you voting for in i he when the rest of the country thinks of trump it tends to think of certain maybe even what the the pollsters and the political scientists have taught people to ron vance really any of those he has a college he studied history in grad a and and he particularly pissed but the more i talked to the more i started to regard him as emblematic of the larger trump there was something about his support of the manhattan mogul that went deeper than vance grew up in deer a community near after raising the his mother went to work cleaning houses and waiting his like most other men in the slaved away in a steel he happy about dad was really but there any other vance he drummed into my brother and will not work in a steel you will go to he even let me go in i had to sit in the he wanted a better life for his after vance entered the insurance throughout the his career was on the a series of promotions took him from tucson to denver to houston to los angeles to san he was really nice money penn mutual shuttered its bay area and vance was out of he landed another position in but that too ended with vance losing his after i just vance told he moved

vance has recently taken to driving a taxi on the his day starts at vance told and i asked vance about america great did it resonate with has america gotten he fallen apart the last i here i a calculus class away from a bs in i have ba in minor in speech i have a cebs and driving a taxi for minimum for a certain kind of politics has never really been about character has always mattered maybe or the hardship of job loss after job either he seems to care less about finding a candidate who agrees with him on every issue than he does about finding a candidate who has the to upend the status for trump is that does he say some stupid vance not as nutty as everybody thinks he just playing the the guy has good common horse those buildings go up in new york city by i even imagine what trump had to deal with how many whatever their demographic many trump fans seem to have at in common with people who feel that america treating them as well as it used and they have a hunch that it will take the right person than the right blend of policy proposals to fix is mexico gonna pay for the vance told at least trump will and with a guy like who as someone once definition of insanity is

she encounters similarly incredulous reactions now when people find out she supports donald will genuinely ask you this as though not an be but how do you like delgado knows a for trump supporters as a with platinum blonde a wardrobe of glamorous and her harvard its polar and delgado clearly relishes challenging people who have negative views of trump and his in in columns for a slew of media regular appearances on fox and her twitter delgado regularly unleashes detailed defenses of the man she called the during a conversation with yahoo news last contrary to the she sees trump as the an intelligent you would be supporting trump because it would mean actually researched the difference between fair trade and free it would mean you actually understand the nuances of foreign policy and why you want somebody who has some of an interventionist bent if threatened but is also not reflexively delgado is used to defying she grew up the child of two cuban immigrants in her side of the family came to the before the revolution while her relatives fled the regime of fidel delgado describes the heart of the cuban community as a blue place where the idea of going away for college was

cubans voted for marco rubio to percent for delgado is a former rubio but she was turned off after he joined the bipartisan of that pushed for immigration reform in the senate in and delgado maintains her experience living in working class cuban community that makes her appreciate hardline vow to build a wall on southern border and his disparaging remarks about mexican immigrants have drawn the ire of other but delgado said she was immediately excited when trump announced his presidential campaign with a speech where he heavily focused on in those trump called some mexican immigrants criminals and aside the controversial aspects of his the fact bottom line in decades we have not had a republican who was actually serious about illegal about curbing controlling said main theme was i thought it was a delgado is offended by the assumption that expanding immigration is the main concern of she says the community has the same and and and worries as anglo since many latinos share her she believes they are especially concerned about losing jobs to illegal according to many people she knows in little havana feel lost work to illegal immigrants willing to take lower a myth that they do

in her neighborhood and not the romantic the apartment rates are through the roof because this city is said bus is too crowded because just too many damn people many of whom are delgado is amazed a from understands these trump started his campaign on a note that resonated with delgado and he disappointed her you in the next few months going to say something that going to disagree he has yet to do delgado said of no policy position except for the muslim which i thought was a bit but delgado went on to dismiss call for a temporary ban on muslim immigration as more of off the cuff than a policy and eager to elect a leader who speaks think we need to rethink what we consider and presidential to me nowadays is not a typical politician that runs everything that he says by members of his delgado somebody who speaks off the who speaks from the and speaks directly to and almost sounds like how our neighbors delgado once again expressed admiration trump is able to connect with average americans in spite of his sounds like a mechanic i absolutely love that he has that ability to communicate with americans on their said delgado sees trump as a in supporting she has found herself she has found opposition from both liberals and republican in the delgado penned columns for the national but the conservative magazine rejected one supporting before it published an entire issue disparaging him in not conservatism and just not good journalism or good delgado said of the no never going to contribute there i have no interest unless they apologize to trump and his hunter walker the working man everywhere he justin neal sees other americans refusing to play by the same rules he friends he knows in his community stay unmarried tokeep receiving health care benefits for their one friend of has so abused his body with drugs and alcohol that he now is unable to work and is on collecting benefits that he spends on his at marine corps base where the neal is a foreman in the vehicle maintenance the parts supplier that shop buys from has a guaranteed contract that allows him to mark up his and pays no overhead because the government provides a not even buying toilet neal neal and his have been married since they were both and live with their two teenage daughters in about minutes outside feel that i am a productive member of society that works i have good and in my heart i try to do right by by my and by the people i deal with every neal neal is a trump voter because he thinks trump will make the government more and stop money from being given to people who he believes need taking resources away from those who biggest quality is his biggest i know that he has a neal the business it seems like the people with those qualities the neals first started to question the way government assistance is distributed years when shelley lost her job as a financial adviser in the aftermath of the we went as long as we could without her and we had no choice but to have her go down and file for neal was a blow to her were not proud that we had to do he but week after as shelley went to file paperwork at the unemployment she encountered many people who did not have any problem with taking unemployment and told shelley they would make less money if they went back to work than they were getting from the were a lot of people filling out job applications that i have no chance in hell in shelley eventually found a job with the local public school scaled and she took a major pay cut and worked her way neal now he drives through a subsidized housing neighborhood near his and sees bmws parked on the see somebody living in housing but yet can buy rims and drive nicer cars than me by all not jealous of what other people have define me but just another one of those things you kidding neal is not wrong that government assistance from food stamps to disability insurance has increased over the past for there were million americans receiving food stamps in a significant increase from million in estimates of how many americans receive some form of federal program from million on the low end to million on the high neal said nothing donald trump has said in particular about cracking down on those who abuse the government benefits system that has attracted his his impression that toughness and business acumen would lead the gop frontrunner to make think that kind of work ethic would fly in a private neal think he would implement a lot of those standards into the government workforce if he were to become neal is also drawn to trump because he believes the businessman can translate his skills into a rejuvenation of the guy is a genius when it comes to building like a mad neal really do think he knows how to change things to make our economy a lot stronger than what it i think once our economy gets a lot of things will get he all know how it is when money gets everybody gets neal was raised in in the northern virginia suburbs just outside the son of two federal his father was a vietnam veteran who went to work for the post office and his mother was a cia he knew by the time he was in high school that he wanted to work with his about all the men on my side of the family were he he graduated high took a few community college courses and then decided to go to trade probably seen me reading a car magazine more than a he he was sometimes bitter to see childhood friends it a little but now sees his austere upbringing as a accomplished and received is so much more fulfilling because it given to and we worked really hard for said really just gives us a massive amount of doing great again and it made it that much better for that we rose up and he think that the past eight been told that things are so bad that the only way going to get fixed is if we rely on government to fix them for and i think people have just sat back and promised to fix it for and if going to fix why do i need to fix neal and neal also believes there is a for those in the ruling bothered in congress who get free health care anytime they need it and then turn around and make decisions about our health care and neal wrote in an is contempt towards congress or elected officials who are by their title to balance a budget and make but when they they take a vacation and think about it before coming back to the if the average american were to take that stance at they would be fired for incompetence or dereliction of jon ward the grandma when donald trump rails against the republican nell frisbie knows exactly who he is

anything like she clutching my wrist and leaning closer so that she could be heard over the deafening soundtrack of elton john and the rolling stones songs selected by the candidate at this look at the people around us was a mix of young and there were parents with college types and people in there were even a few hispanics a rare sight at mostly a speech would be interrupted by clashes between supporters and but for frisbie saw a calm speaking to all kinds of she motioning around giving people hope that the country can be turned around even an old white head like no other candidate is doing frisbie has never backed a candidate like trump but she thinks the country and even members of her party are on the wrong for the election is about future her grandkids and their she worries about the growing national debt and paralyzing gridlock in and though she acknowledges lack of political she sees him as a necessary agent of change who can shake things country is in she an old and it matters less for but going to go down to trump is a but worth the setbacks in her own life make promise to america great resonate strongly with she and her a retired lost their home in hurricane katrina in

restoring order in a society that is to have too many internal she have the enemy within that we need to frisbie also likes that trump is largely his campaign and appear beholden to not obligated to so not taking orders or having to vote or push a policy that he believe she she shrugs off the concerns that many raise about trump that too around the that say he like she obviously likes had three asked about the sentiment expressed by many in the upper echelons of the gop that trump is for the frisbie says she agree but acknowledges he could tone down some of his rhetoric and work to appear

behalf of his boss also a registered democrat with long island cohen says working to work to woo the black when asked how much of the vote the campaign wants to cohen had a perfectly trumpian all of goal is cohen said before modifying to flip what has historically been the continue reading according to trump needs to win black voters because other minority groups support trying to coordinate it because i am mindful of the fact you there are coalitions and talking about now like hispanic coalitions that will not support cohen ok because the ones that like trump even here legally and they so it really and i understand their point of they do not want to be asked to leave and go back go back to their you know they want so i after ruling out cohen said the campaign turned to the community because trump needs to go beyond his win a general election if your mindset is on the southern white christian you need but you need the minority communities as cohen an advantage with minority voters has been a key element of the democratic victories in the past two presidential but cohen said the trump campaign has been developing a strategy to combat that demographic cohen cited for how he would

stayed in touch with cohen through frequent phone as the current presidential campaign heated scott said he got the idea to bring a group of pastors to meet trump in order to fix what he described as between trump and the black he invited many of the attendees who came to the others were brought into orbit through the meeting was not an auspicious start to the trump outreach it quickly descended into a series of internecine disputes among the it offers a window into the trump unorthodox minority outreach the campaign initially announced the gathering five days beforehand with a press release that promised trump would be by a coalition of evangelical pastors and religious who would him on this prompted a torrent of including an open letter from than black religious leaders and that was published by ebony magazine three days before the meeting was scheduled to take the letter attacked overall tone and cited two particular instances of what it described as racially insensitive and incendiary it castigated trump for saying some of his supporters were justified in roughing up a black lives matter protester who interrupted a campaign the letter also took trump to task for tweeting inaccurate statistics about crime prevalence rates in black communities insinuating that black people are more violent than other amid the several pastors who had been associated with the gathering came forward and declared they were not trump campaign also cancelled a press conference that was planned for after the the which took place in a conference room at trump began with speeches from cohen and cohen read the prepared version of his remarks to yahoo day i have the distinct honor and privilege of putting on my suit to come to work for donald to those of us who truly know trump is more than our our our our our and a cohen is for this reason that many of us take the ravenous bias against trump so it is as if they are attacking recalling his opening scott said he touted trump as a potential of who is a perfect trump is politically incorrect at but because he is not a career flawed in areas just like everyone but trump has promised to defend our christian strengthen our national and restore the conservative values that make our nation scott in his retelling to yahoo went on to attack those who criticized the group for meeting with trump as of were encountering fierce i know from the from the because all of our motives are scott recalls being called uncle stepin fetchits everything except children of god scott he ended on a defiant not going to be bullied or pressured to ignore the leading of spirit by agents of scott cohen said scott also called for show of and asked the people at the meeting whether they that trump is one raised their cohen what happened next is a matter of some but it is clear that the gathering was not just a tribute to all of the attendees who spoke to yahoo news said the meeting lasted about two and a half they also all agreed that about an hour of the discussion was dominated by comments made by bishop victor an ohio scott and cohen believe couzens misrepresented the meeting in subsequent was his minutes of scott

they all said couzens demanded an apology from which led to a lengthy discussion of the couzens recounted the in an interview with yahoo according to he asked trump to apologize for he said during the including comments about the black lives matter protester who interrupted his rally and the inaccurate statistic he tweeted about crime in the said you want to be a and you said that you want to restore dignity to and you started this meeting with a christian couzens said he told need to you need to apologize to these before trump could respond to a harlem pastor named james manning cut him who said he was the only trump staff member in the room at the put yahoo news in touch with manning to get the story of the manning said he is with trump and wants to start an organization for the campaign in he also objects to the notion trump should ever apologize for his views or his manning is certainly no stranger to political over the years he has made headlines for large signs in front of his atlah world missionary one declared would stone another described obama as taliban muslim illegally elected cohen told yahoo he knows but said he was not sure whether trump was aware of the think he knows anything about pastor so i be in a position to answer that cohen birther views make him an odd ambassador for charm offensive in the black obama is extremely popular among and the conspiracy theories about the origins have been thoroughly manning said it was support for this fringe movement that his admiration for the was the biggest birther that we he had the biggest the

inspirational half populist he slammed united and wells fargo for corporate railed against the of the warned of the toward an kasich criticized an executive issued by president trump the day that lifted some restrictions on politicking in places of believe these religious people ought to be endorsing he ought to be figuring out how to clothe the homeless or feed the not all of this political

biggest fan of donald kasich eliciting chuckles from about half the a man in the back stood up and insult why not in the white kasich shrugging involuntarily while the corners of his mouth flared into a the way he often yorba linda was the last major stop on book his latest memoir has one of those anodyne political titles but is in fact a surprisingly personal argument for a new kind of spirituality in conservative kasich wants to see less of the doctrine that exists on the religious right and more of the values of tolerance and in events and interviews spiritual musings have been eclipsed by questions about what really up kasich was probably the only republican candidate to emerge from last primaries more widely admired at least among the general electorate than he went into and pointedly refused to rule out another primary run against trump in no real historical analogue for something like sitting presidents have been of most recently in when pat buchanan ran against george but in every case you can think the challenger was a movement figure bent on overturning the party no governing type like kasich has ever tried to restore order by ousting an insurgent then never had a leader like as we sat in the anteroom down the hall from the watergate the current president was fending off investigations into the covert influence of a foreign while his approval ratings hovered below and this was before trump leaked classified intelligence to the causing one republican senator to warn of a just four months into the was i catching kasich at the end of the or was this only the there seemed to be an unusual dynamic in the room at yorba which was familiar to me from the couple of large conservative audiences met since the just about everyone in the room had voted for and if you surveyed probably nine out of would tell you they were glad they but when kasich criticized the president for his temperament or his there were claps and bobbing heads in every and almost no one seemed visibly put all of which jibes with what you see in most even if pundits often misread the republicans felt then and feel now that trump was the necessary cost of keeping hillary clinton out of the white and they were willing to give him an but nothing done since election day has convinced them that the right guy for the for these kasich holds himself out as his where trump is biting and kasich is unrelentingly upbeat and where trump is all about personal kasich talks constantly about a divine where trump would scrap trade deals and social kasich advances a rooseveltian not faith in globalist a positive and trump is a negative kasich told me after the i asked him about the only meeting had so far with president where he offered his advice on health care in the oval think trump would have gone for kasich not hung up on this particular policy or what i i think a tug of war for him inside the white among those who are ideological and those who are the problem you have is that this is a guy who ran his own a real estate he have to think about all these so the question is there an underlying philosophy he has as to how this moves i who served in congress for told me that trump later called to ask him to get behind the house the bill is what i think it i support he told the it matter what i kasich asked it because some people i used to work with want me to be but not going to be i reminded of what he had told me more than once during our frequent conversations last year that he was running his last was he standing by that a week before his he so now he was he chewing a from the just that my people are you making these people want to be hopeful about so why are you saying i know what going to are dwelling on and kasich dismissing the entire people were dwelling on i pointed because he was out there drumming up crowds and taking stands against the i suggested maybe he was being trying to be coy or kasich shaking his head going to raise money for my efforts and to have a but not going around the states lining up people or finding not doing any of kasich volunteered that he was still rooting for trump to be a less divisive which is why been discouraged by the raucous rally trump held in pennsylvania on the night of the white house dinner in he shaking his we talked a bit then about faith and the meaning of and then kasich seemed to double back to the question been working hard to the thing that thought he i have a can someone like me can they attract people and be powerful in he stared at me for a as if i might provide the i stared as i look at this more and more hopeful that you he the if and out there wanting to tear down the whole economic or elizabeth or if out here on the right wanting to tear everything you get crowds and you get but not sure where the country a person out here trying to have a civil discussion and come up with complicated solutions for complicated problems has that big silent i and maybe the primary elections reveal but got to tell my personal experiences are overwhelming to but that the whole lesson of the that civility and complexity were a losing think just the kasich warming to the subject think you can win a because you just overwhelm these people who are the angry people out or the loud you get elected to public office because people get a sense that a that you get i think you get elected because you get a bunch of people yelling and last kasich had was an oddity a freak moment when the emotions of the electorate had collided with an expert manipulator of emotions and a media enthralled with ratings at any think we reached a fever and the question does the fever continue or does it he i think going to if i went back to ohio and started insulting run me out of the we were in a moment of and i think going to at one when we were talking about which he meant something considerably sunnier than nixon had when he first proffered the term nearly years kasich told me a story about going to the thanksgiving day parade in new york last i walked to my people stood and he i sat down and i was and my you a big political she just proud of and you should be proud of

we look back on first tumultuous year in it seems to me that really missing from his presidency is exactly this the basic by lack of humanity i mean that trump is cruel or without grace these as are too often i mean human in the sense of being knowable a as opposed to a character you play on despite all the insidery books about his administration that are now flying off the virtual despite dozens

same projection behind by this time in other modern we had begun to piece together a series of small but telling details about the essential nature of leaders who were actually less than trump turns

imagine them as spouses and what we know of filtered through those closest to is that given to passing tirades and is easily that he goes to bed early and watches all but what profoundly moves or humbles when does he admit and to what delights him or weighs him i have no and neither do and not sure those who see him on a daily basis could do more than when he was a tv it was reasonable to assume that trump was hiding some pivotal part of who he really now you have to wonder if the persona is all there seen how he responds to injustice and suffering to the beating of turkish protesters in a washington traffic to the slaughter of the rohingya in to the murder of a woman opposing white nationalists in his reactions ranged from indifferent to he sounded more emotional about the shooting of a caged gorilla in cincinnati than he does about foreign children who have lived here since or than he did about the american heroes his staff seated in the balcony of the house chamber

spiritual president in any of our trump forges no easy or meaningful relationships with congressional leaders or foreign heads of he is a leader without a true having been all but ostracized by the new yorkers who ought to know him maybe you can recall seeing trump lose himself laughing at or shake his head in joyful wonder at the i he is rarely photographed with a spontaneous during the i compared trump to perhaps the greatest of american like barnum amassed a fortune as a relentless then turned to a career in politics and public but as i was recently reminded watching greatest the

to the uproar over this campaign fired off an email to reporters detailing all the instances over the last several months when the candidate has made pretty much this same the message if you think this was wait until you see how many other times she said it before you i really tell if political instincts are just that or if a few of the people giving her advice should consider other like maybe which marco rubio highly recommends this one statement undermines so much about her while revealing the absence at the core of that truly hard to peel back the layers of but a slow week in so give it a just pretend that bill say he is the leading authority on economic assume he walk down the street to buy a smoothie without creating jobs by even if all that were economic policy something for which you name a like ebola or asian not making this up there is actually a czar for kind of a central plank of the the reason we elect more or maybe clinton plans to turn over foreign policy to president obama while at and then she can just spend her days as president hunting down all the republicans and reporters done her like that guy in something troubling here on the feminism love clinton or disdain you have to acknowledge that she spent the last years since she first ran for senate in new york doggedly building her own political separate from her no one serious about politics now describes her as unqualified for the readying to run a campaign aimed squarely at on the theory that donald trump reminds most female voters of the high school gym teacher who creeped them with is a slogan meant to underscore which is so difficult to understand why clinton would toss aside that image as an independent and powerful intellect in her own all for the votes of a few white men in one thing for obama to deputize bill clinton as his economic salesman and let him go out there and steal the as he did at the but the unfortunate truth is that different for a and different for a if hillary wants to keep inspiring the little girls of this she probably go around saying turn over the big stuff to her the problem of ideological clinton has spent the past year trying to ride out the populist tsunami in her own in part by distancing herself from more discredited so is she now saying that all of that was just a and her convictions around the economy are actually indistinguishable from and if she owe it to primary voters to make that clear from the but leave all that because the larger problem with statement is that it exposes really missing from her campaign the vulnerability left even against a candidate as flawed as when bill clinton first ran for president in on a platform forged by the upstart democratic leadership he took some stands that were toxic in some quarters of his party for welfare for free for smaller he did in because he wanted to define himself as a different kind of but also because he intended to govern like focused on raising american and but her

who created the dlc and worked closely in those days with bill reminded me recently of some of the interesting ideas publicly championed in recent one is the elimination of the regressive payroll tax what he calls tax on which replace with taxes on polluters or some other combination of revenue another is the taxing of all income earned or unearned at the same from describes these policies as pillars of a larger which is that work in america rewarded in the new economy as it was in the had clinton latched on to this or some other bolder she could have seized the bernie sanders would have attacked her for endangering entitlements or whatever but at least have spent these many months arguing about her audacity and not she and probably not just because she thinks in more technocratic terms than her husband she also because she think win the the most salient difference between her and bill seems to be that he believes he can persuade you that right about something complex and and she a decade of governing in arkansas taught bill that he was a better explainer than his and he could usually experience has taught her that critics will distort whatever she and safer to avoid giving them he always said campaigns were about she thinks campaigns are about eschewing the kind of big ideas that can be used to destroy thus does she find herself presenting her husband as the

congress to send you some over the next few the house and senate will be voting on an immigration reform in recent my administration has met extensively with both democrats and republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to immigration based on these we presented the congress with a detailed proposal that should be supported by both parties as a fair compromise one where nobody gets everything they but where our country gets the critical reforms it here are the four pillars of our the first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for million illegal immigrants who were brought here by their parents at a young age that covers almost three times more people than the previous under our those who meet education and work and show good moral will be able to become full citizens of the united the second pillar fully secures the that means building a wall on the southern and it means hiring more heroes like cj to keep our communities our plan closes the terrible loopholes exploited by criminals and terrorists to enter our country and it finally ends the dangerous practice of and the third pillar ends the visa lottery a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard for or the safety of our it is time to begin moving towards a immigration system one that admits people who are who want to who will contribute to our and who will love and respect our the fourth and final pillar protects the nuclear family by ending chain under the current broken a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant under our we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor this vital reform is not just for our but for our and our in recent two terrorist attacks in new york were made possible by the visa lottery and chain in the age of these programs present risks we can no longer it is time to reform these outdated immigration and finally bring our immigration system into the these four pillars represent a and one that will create a and lawful immigration for over washington has tried and failed to solve this this congress can be the one that finally makes it most these four pillars will produce legislation that fulfills my ironclad pledge to only sign a bill that puts america so let us come set politics and finally get the job these reforms will also support our response to the terrible crisis of opioid and drug in we lost americans to drug deaths per seven per we must get much tougher on drug dealers and pushers if we are going to succeed in stopping this my administration is committed to fighting the drug epidemic and helping get treatment for those in the struggle will be long and difficult as americans always we will as we have seen the most difficult challenges bring out the best in we see a vivid expression of this truth in the story of the holets family of new ryan holets is years and an officer with the albuquerque police he is here tonight with his wife

home for her in that ryan said he felt god speak to will do it because you he took out a picture of his wife and their four he went home to tell his wife in an she agreed to the holets named their new daughter ryan and you embody the goodness of our thank and as we rebuild strength and confidence at we are also restoring our strength and standing around the we face rogue terrorist and rivals like china and russia that challenge our our and our in confronting these we know that weakness is the surest path to and unmatched power is the surest means of our for this i am asking the congress to end the dangerous defense sequester and fully fund our great as part of our we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear hopefully never having to use but making it so strong and powerful that it will deter any acts of perhaps someday in the future there will be a magical moment when the countries of the world will get together to eliminate their nuclear we are not there last i also pledged that we would work with our allies to extinguish isis from the face of the one year i am proud to report that the coalition to defeat isis has liberated almost percent of the territory once held by these killers in

building and found kenton in bad he applied pressure to the wound and inserted a tube to reopen an he then performed cpr for straight minutes during the ground transport and maintained artificial respiration through hours of emergency kenton stacy would have died if not for selfless love for a fellow kenton is recovering in raqqa is and justin is wearing his new bronze with a for staff sergeant all of america salutes terrorists who do things like place bombs in civilian hospitals are when we annihilate when we must be able to detain and question but we must be terrorists are not merely they are unlawful enemy and when captured they should be treated like the terrorists they in the we have foolishly released hundreds of dangerous only to meet them again on the battlefield including the isis so i am keeping another i just signed an order directing secretary mattis to reexamine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities at guantánamo i am also asking the congress to ensure in the fight against isis and we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them our warriors in afghanistan also have new rules of along with their heroic afghan our military is no longer undermined by artificial and we no longer tell our enemies our last i also took an action endorsed unanimously by the senate just months i recognized jerusalem as the capital of shortly dozens of countries voted in the united nations general assembly against sovereign right to make this american taxpayers generously send those same countries billions of dollars in aid every that is i am asking the congress to pass legislation to help ensure american dollars always serve american and only go to as we strengthen friendships around

regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in north north reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our we are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and i will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into

believed that what he needed to do was to get the country moving again behind a big one of the things he discussed was civil and some of aides said to a lot of danger in you should stay away from that because take a lot of the momentum out of your new presidency and spoil some of the goodwill that got coming your the south was solidly democratic at this and response what the hell is the presidency johnson believed that if he was ever going to move beyond the mythic force of the kennedy presidency a force that was haunting him from the earliest hours of his own presidency he needed to do something and he saw the civil rights act as his opportunity to do he have talked enough about civil we have talked about it for one hundred the time has come to masterstroke was to take this emerging kennedy myth and put it to work for he way that we honor john kennedy is to complete the legacy that he and he really gets people behind that idea very the public reaction to the passage of the civil rights act of is strongly positive among both whites and it was only in the south and within the more extreme factions in his own party that his actions were so the immediate fears that johnson early in his presidency about how civil rights might jeopardize his future in the election and the future of the pan it becomes pretty clear early that johnson is a unifying figure who has broad support from the in johnson just destroyed republican barry goldwater all over the johnson also gets a majority in the and a huge majority in the house of he realizes better than anyone else that this is an opportunity to make significant legislation the civil rights act was not a perfect piece of it left unaddressed the issue of voting which had been the key factor in oppression in the south for the previous martin luther king was aware of the slow timetable that officials in washington were taking on the issue of voting he and other leaders in the civil rights movement staged a major campaign in alabama to draw attention to the issue by marching from selma to they at worried that they were not going to get enough but they in a white establishment that was particularly inflammatory and particularly inclined toward the attention was riveted on selma when marchers were attacked on the edmund pettus people who were peacefully protesting were mauled in these horrific scenes by and it was another one of these moments from the that struck the this was something that was not supposed to happen in johnson is presented with a he has to react to because it is this moment that is crying out for he could just do what a lot of politicians would which would be to condemn the actions of the white officials in and then move or he can take this as an opportunity to move the ball forward in a major way on voting and johnson in the hours after those horrific images from selma are broadcast all over the that this is his he is going to go before the country and and say that now is the time when we will do something about civil rights and about voting and solve this issue once and for the speech that he gave on voting rights was not like any other speech he ever and i think that is because moral clarity is freeing for a he knew that he was doing the right thing on voting and he was going to communicate that to the country in a very direct and meaningful in his johnson famously speaks the words that had defined the civil rights shall people who were there described it as an almost ghostly feeling when they heard johnson say they realized this was an historic moment they were living johnson is a shakespearean you have you have deep you have cruelty and you have the most wonderful form of and ultimately a tragic because he sets out this goal for and he achieves he does more for than any other democratic president had ever done but not ultimately what remembered his presidency gets overtaken by the war in and excruciating for pursuit of civil rights shows leadership at the highest which is understanding that something greater than he come to the cause of civil rights for totally selfless he wanted to do something he wanted to be great and he understood that civil

the notable moments from the interview with the newspaper he likes to describe as trump wants to have a military parade on pennsylvania avenue like the one he saw in paris it was one of the most beautiful parades i have ever and in we should do one one day down pennsylvania i wondered if you were going to say always thought of always thought of thought of it long the bastille day parade was now that was a i that was very much more than they must have had planes over our normally you have the planes and like the super bowl and everyone goes and that happened for and you know what else that was it was you it was two and the parade it go a whole they go you want to but you have or you want to these things are going on all it was a they had so many different maybe different different different then we had the the the ones who were badly the whole it was an incredible trump explains his extended handshakes with french president emmanuel macron he was very deferential to a great loves holding my people realize he loves holding my and as far as that trump talks about invading russia napoleon finished a little bit but i asked so i asked so what about he what he did was he designed the street the way they you the he did so many things even and his one problem is he go to russia that night because he had extracurricular and they froze to how many times has russia been saved by the same thing happened to not for that hitler wanted to he was all set to walk but he wanted to and it went and dropped to degrees below and that was the end of that but the russians have great fighters in the they use the cold to their i won five wars where the armies that went against them froze to pretty having a good the economy is doing trump says the first lady of akie who gave a speech in english in even say i was seated next to the wife of prime minister abe abe of who i think is a terrific and a terrific but speak like not that must make for an awkward because you sitting there for so the dinner was probably an hour and vladimir more trump says his unscheduled chat with russian president vladimir putin at the summit was about was sitting next to putin and somebody and the way it so the meal was and toward dessert i went down just to say hello to and while i was there i said hello to pleasantries more than anything it was not a long but it you could be just talked about it was very we talked about you we talked about russian i always found that you he ended that years and i actually talked about russian adoption with which is interesting because it was a part of the conversation that don had in that as said most other you when they call up and the we have information on your i think most politicians i was just with a lot of they said have taken a meeting like trump believes comey was seeking over him by sharing the dossier about allegations that the russian government had compiled incriminating information on him when he brought it to i said this is really i think about i just thought this is such a phony i this is it was so and they know i was just there for a very short period of it was so and i was with groups of it was so wrong that i really i think about i know what to think other this is really phony in my he shared it so that i would think he had it out as i think in trump says a special counsel never have been i have done nothing a special counsel should never have been appointed in this jeff susan more trump says he regrets choosing sessions as attorney general sessions should have never recused and if he was going to recuse he should have told me before he took the and i would have picked somebody he gave you no heads up at in any so jeff sessions takes the gets into the recuses i then have i think is very unfair to the how do you take a job and then recuse if he would have recused himself before the i would have but i you not going to take extremely and a mild to the so he recuses i then end up with a second a what jeff sessions did was he recused himself right right after he became attorney and i you tell me this trump appears to think the fbi director reports to him and nothing was changed other than richard nixon came and when nixon came along was pretty and out of the started reporting to the department of but there was nothing there was nothing from there was nothing but the person really reports directly to the president of the united which is you which is and i think going to have a great new granddaughter makes a surprise appearance hi how are arabella my granddaughter who speaks say hello to them in

the unemployment is the lowest been in the stock market is the highest ever up almost percent since i took and working hard on health the russian investigation not an not on me you looking at a lot of trump calls his meeting last year with a number of russians offering information to use against hillary clinton political i look into it very to be honest with i just heard there was an email requesting a meeting or something requesting a that they have information on hillary and i said i this was standard political did you know at the time that they had the i know anything about the but you it must have been a very important must have been a very unimportant because i never even heard about donald spencer more trump says the meeting had no effect on his campaign i think i added anything much different than i had been made some very strong speeches about the corrupt the emails being deleted and and all of the things she was i would make those speeches there much i could say about hillary clinton that was worse than what i was already i i was talking she deleted and which nobody does because of the how she got away with that i have no i talked about the back of the i talked about the uranium i talked about the speech that russia gave clinton while she was secretary of state the i talked about the back of the plane i unless somebody said that she shot somebody in the there much i could add to my trump warns mueller not to look into his finances beyond but declines to say whether he would fire him for doing so i i possible a condo or you i sell a lot of condo

vaguely because it johnson shocked a by defeating him in six years feingold is out to accomplish something that happened in over take back a senate seat in the next election after losing he is running on a reputation as an iconoclast forged when feingold in many the wing of the senate democratic the lone senator to vote against the patriot act in the wake of he was one of the most vocal supporters of the affordable care and he put his name on the landmark campaign finance reform act he with john but which was intended to reduce the influence of financial contributions in has been watered down by high court and feingold was dragged down by a conservative wave in opposition to the affordable care and his own flat is there still a place for feingold in a state that has only become more purple in the years since his with republicans driving up key statewide victories in midterm election years to balance the liberal leaning in presidential the visited every county in the state and was heartened by what he democrat russ second from alongside state chris taylor in in scott more politicians get big feingold told politico last shortly after he entered the ego so big that i think about about been done to the people of this state for the past four this time feingold has held a lead in virtually every major poll since his an august marquette university law school poll has feingold leading by four down from double digits just a few months a quinnipiac poll released from the same time has feingold leading by there is no doubt that johnson has an uphill battle merely by virtue of

the most conservative swaths of wisconsin in suburban despite the very support of scott walker and house speaker paul many wisconsin republicans simply have not embraced texas ted cruz won a decisive

walker told the state republican convention in but the question is how many of the voters who propelled johnson to victory in will turn out this johnson has complicated things by hedging his support of despite initially saying he would remain in wisconsin and campaign during the republican national johnson was a addition to the speaking in his remarks he mentioned trump a grand total of once in what was hardly a johnson took the unusual step of calling out feingold by saying his national security record is weak in an era when strong defense is needed to combat ron johnson waves to the

to focus on his record and allegations of campaign republicans have charged that feingold began laying the groundwork for his run while still serving in the state as special envoy to that would violate federal law feingold has hit playing up support of trump and a series of curious including his suggestion to economize on education by showing students documentaries in place of instruction by

action in more traditional feingold has a narrow edge over with million compared with million most pundits have pegged a feingold victory as citing unpopularity and liberal tendency in a presidential

currently have a slim advantage one over andrew more by chris wilson our look at nonpresidential races yet touched on more than elections for offices that will directly affect most state legislature at stake is not just influence over state but district maps that can decide who controls the house of because many states turn the process of redistricting over to control of that process allows the majority party to draw maps to their advantage otherwise known as consider north where democratic candidates for the house won more votes in total than their republican opponents in the the gop retained nine of the seats thanks to the maps it drew after the republican wave in at the national level democrats won percent of votes for the house of representatives in but just percent of house seats partly because democratic voters tend to be concentrated in a relatively generally and partly a result of how district lines were drawn by republican democrats know it will be impossible to take back a majority of state legislatures republicans hold of the chambers but even a small blue wave could help flip a few of the closer contests or make progress toward achieving majorities in the

likely see huge bumps in outside spending in in outside donations in reached around in and even less prominent races can attract large sums of two years a campaign to replace several members of a new jersey school board spent on the task succeeding in ousting two while direct donations to state legislator campaigns are generally under tight around can spend as much as they so easy to see how the

federal offenses included charges related to lying to congress about a tower trump sought to build in moscow tax making false statements to a bank and campaign violations stemming from payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with tapes cohen made of his conversations with trump and other associates were seized in fbi raids on his home and office in april giuliani also blasted who spent more than a decade working for trump as his personal attorney and as an executive at his real estate is a completely dishonorable never heard of a lawyer that their client without the and known some pretty scummy giuliani exist very long in the legal profession if you go around taping your cohen did not immediately respond to a request for former personal lawyer received a reduced sentence

president and his legal team have offered shifting stories about what he knew about the on trump tweeted that the money was a private that was not a campaign finance the campaign finance charges against cohen were based on the premise that the payments to the women were designed to help trump escape scandal during the as they could be viewed as campaign contributions that were well above legal giuliani pointed to lack of legal expertise when he was asked whether he thought it was plausible to argue that the payment was a private matter rather than an attempt to influence the not a the simple fact is that not a criminal violation of the campaign finance said special counsel robert mueller leaves a meeting on capitol hill in june scott more giuliani claimed the case of presidential candidate john edwards proves to accuse trump of a campaign finance edwards was indicted in for payments that were made on his behalf during the race to a woman he had an affair and fathered a child

evidence of collusion with russia or obstruction of do they all of a sudden become campaign finance you need a special prosecutor for campaign i they started with after two years and two investigations they have nothing on giuliani they started squeaking about got nothing on and article ii prevents them from doing anything about now doing campaign while trump and his allies have argued that the information released by mueller so far shows prosecutors have found there was no collusion with the spate of recent legal filings in cases involving members of the inner circle have revealed that there are multiple ongoing federal giuliani said he was certain there is no further probe of whether team aided the russian efforts to hinder his democratic hillary giuliani said his confidence in this assertion was based on having seen written questions mueller submitted to the as well as a belief that no one on the trump campaign was guilty of any wrongdoing with respect to seen their nothing to look they could look at collusion for the next years unless they get somebody to not going to find any evidence of it because it giuliani think desperately trying to come up with some smoke and mirrors so he can say some form of i think he can do giuliani saw a prosecutor that was on a fishing expedition as opposed to somebody that has a solid piece of evidence and wants to nail you with like something do at a beginning of a not the giuliani also suggested a crime would have taken place only if trump was directly involved in russian efforts to hack into emails and computer networks during the even a collusion is like the biggest bunch of the crime is conspiracy to do you believe that donald trump engaged in a conspiracy with the russians to hack hillary of course

issued an indictment of russian intelligence agents for allegedly participating in the election trump has steadfastly denied that his campaign worked with the russians and has dismissed probe as a

unethical federal prosecutors in new york urged the judge to give cohen only a break from the recommended sentence for his crimes because they said he was unwilling to fully cooperate with their giuliani suggested cohen still received an overly light he contrasted situation with that of paul the former chairman of manafort pleaded guilty to multiple charges in including making false statements about lobbying work he did for the government of former ukrainian president viktor yanukovych and filing false reports to conceal money he made from those manafort has also admitted to obstructing justice by attempting to influence witness testimony in his as part of his plea manafort agreed to cooperate with but late last month the special counsel accused him of violating the terms

and upper thousands of cubans fled to many hoping to launch a counterrevolution to liberate their but the first serious effort to accomplish that goal failed in spectacular fashion in april when a brigade of cuban exiles landing on a beach in southern bay of pigs was easily defeated by a vastly superior cuban military the fiasco humiliated president kennedy and his brother robert the attorney and left them hungry for revenge and determined to unseat but it also left a residue of mistrust between the new administration and the president john confers with his attorney general robert at the

had formed dozens of counterrevolutionary the cia had established what would soon become the largest station outside its new headquarters in codenamed jmwave and located on land owned by the university of the station was manned by hundreds of agency employees and contractors who worked under the flimsy cover of technical it was from here that the cia ran its secret war in policy prohibited the agency from parachuting agents into so it used a fleet of small boats crewed mostly by cuban exiles to slip them onto the but cuban security forces patrolled the coastline on land and

from the sierra del rosario mountains in pinar del río it was a castro militias soon captured several members of márquez in early márquez novo came down out of the mountains and slipped into where he sought political asylum at the argentine argentina granted his and after almost seven weeks in the márquez novo left cuba on a flight to supposedly en route to but his plans changed after a visit to the embassy in the venezuelan the which had been alerted to márquez departure from flew him to the united in márquez novo was met by who took him to a safe house where he was kept isolated for roughly two months while the cia officer debriefed him and assessed his potential as a cia agent to be infiltrated back into concluding that even in middle márquez novo was a suitable agent hewitt formally recruited him and began an intensive six months of training in what the cia officer later referred to as operational during this hewitt paired márquez novo with another cuban exile called yeyo likely a who was to be his radio operator and thus had to go through much of the same hewitt whom his agents knew only as took a approach to the something he believed was essential in order to evaluate and establish rapport with márquez whom he called basic instruction in radio weapons and secret writing was provided by specialists in those subjects with hewitt but hewitt personally conducted all other training in espionage márquez novo and napoleon could have had no better according to jack who served as the deputy director for operations the top spy from to not only was hewitt when it came to survival he was also very cool said the veteran cia someone said to going into this or your plane is going to be shot down over this who do you want at your my first choice would be he was the last guy that would ever panic in a but teaching his cuban agents the best tradecraft in the world would count for nothing unless hewitt could successfully get them back to their cuban soldiers stand by an gun on the havana waterfront in january in response to a warning of a bettmann archive via getty more the first step in planning the infiltration was to pick a spot on the cuban coastline where márquez novo and napoleon could sneak together with márquez hewitt picked a location not on northern which was easiest to reach from but on the southern coast of pinar del río miles up the san diego which emptied into the caribbean in the gulf of it was a place that márquez novo knew well and felt secure hewitt later but getting there would require a round trip of at least and a boat with a maximum draft of feet to allow it to negotiate the shallows between a string of islands called cayos de san felipe and the much larger isle of once close to hewitt wanted márquez novo and napoleon to paddle a fiberglass canoe loaded with pounds of supplies up the river to the infiltration when hewitt outlined his concept to other case officers in they thought he was according to rudy an agency paramilitary officer who worked closely with hewitt in and who later ran the special operations the station own any boats with such a shallow draft that had anything like the range necessary for the round only one officer in miami supported like was a merchant marine academy thought it could be done the latter wrote in an unpublished account that he shared with yahoo the plan that enders and hewitt proposed was to use a world war ii landing craft to tow a forest johnson prowler around the western tip of cuba to within miles of the cayos de san even though it could only travel at nautical miles per the landing craft was reliable and had the range the prowler had a draft of meaning that it could safely traverse the shallows between the cayos de san felipe and the isle of close to the prowler crew could put the canoe into the load it with supplies and send the agents on their senior officers in the miami station greeted proposal with hewitt and enders needed the approval of one particular rocky the before they could put their plan into unable to get a enders cornered him in the i told him the idea would and if it enders farnsworth agreed to go forward with the contingent on a successful sea test of the the test was according to who had designed a special harness to tow the the operation got the green the case officers and the agents made final among the supplies hewitt was sending his team in with were two personal maps and the infiltration was to be known as operation the spot on the banks of the san diego where the agents were to make landfall was site the cia also gave the agents cryptonyms for use in all esteban márquez novo was yeyo napoleon was am digraph preceded all cia enders assembled an crew for the the landing captain and first mate had each been

at the sand key lighthouse about miles out to from the voyage around the western end of cuba was with the captain making sure he stayed in international waters but the nerve faltered as he approached the cayos de san and he released the forest johnson prowler miles farther out to sea than he was supposed the wooden three crewmen were able to sail it to the canoe point without and márquez novo and napoleon paddled they reached the broad mouth of the san diego river and kept going for a couple of miles before they found the right place to come after unloading the supplies and caching them near the river they sank the canoe in such a fashion that it could be used then márquez novo and napoleon slipped away into the operation was enders later wrote in a letter to millie proved the skeptics

locals to employ a system of visual signals to warn its members of safety or danger by hanging different colored clothing on their supplies were either buried or carefully concealed in as the network expanded beyond friends and relatives to include sources in the police and the márquez novo communicated with his subagents via a courier answerable only to he checked the identities of all potential agents with the miami station before recruiting and even kept napoleon under close the fuo tapped the phone lines of castro militia and coast guard márquez who adopted the alias maintained a separate unit of scouts in rural districts whose job it was to lead his teams through those areas the network also had a counterintelligence force that vetted recruits and investigated security these techniques all served to make márquez efforts extraordinarily successful at the nucleus of the original the operation developed into an extensive complex extending throughout pinar del with branches covering havana and the isle of hewitt the maritime operations that allowed for the resupply of the network and the occasional exfiltration of agents for training proved the first such mission occurred on may despite a close call with a cuban patrol the cia ran the first successful maritime resupply operation for the ambanty delivering about pounds of weapons and miscellaneous supplies to site the infiltration spot on the bank of the san diego soon the network was attracting attention in the army edward who was in charge of operation the kennedy campaign to destabilize cuba and

installation of missiles to defend those the final steps involved shipping the ballistic missiles themselves and their nuclear the initial stages of this buildup were reported by ambanty network in

ambanty even darker days lay by the fall of márquez novo was becoming he had built a large resistance but the cia refused his requests to undertake guerrilla warfare against the castro on he sent a coded message via radio to will have to decide between on insurrection and departing i have decided on i hope you will help me with the weapons i hewitt replied the next you agreed when you were there can be no insurrection in cuba until it can take place simultaneously throughout such a total uprising is not possible at this he reinforced the point with another message sent the same you insist on precipitant action before the whole plan is ready you are going to draw all the enemy forces down upon you and the people of which will result in the complete destruction of everything you and your men have labored so hard to we cannot support an insurrection we will continue to support you and group as agreed the size and structure of the united western front was becoming something of a

made it it was inevitable that a network like the which some estimates put at up to a thousand would eventually be but the ambanty network made it easier than it needed to be for the regime by routinely and needlessly breaking numerous cardinal rules of in according to the cuban agents keep some agents suffered from what hewitt termed a to confide with any trusted friend or relative details

will not suffice to say that trump is a white man like all the others who rose to become he must be called by his rightful honorific first white of defeat about race after the real reason democrats lost the white house was not according to the most powerful democrat in the country his many you lose to somebody who has percent you blame other things you blame declared senate minority leader chuck schumer earlier this think if we come up with this bold economic it will change things what we were economics or in is the debate that has consumed the democratic party since the disorienting morning

rightness than the if only liberals so obsessed with identity politics argues columbia humanities professor mark lilla in the new york times then everything would be different if only democrats knew

but what if the answer so what if it but rather as democrats ponder their defeat and strategize about how to avoid similar disappointments in and it might be worth considering not just why they lost but why trump in a it all came down to because class is the space where economics and culture more than any republican presidential candidate in recent trump erased the boundaries between culture and again and the improvisational mogul a man who launched his campaign by calling mexicans capitalized on the resentments and rage of certain white toward toward the toward nonwhites and at the same

targeting his divisive cultural unravel revive american reanimate the coal halt never mind that as trump has done so to deliver on any of these promises in his culture dictated economics and economics amplified the product was greater than the sum of its the first republican presidential bid in decades to be animated by the affinities and animosities of a particular as a trump lost the popular vote by nearly million but peeled off just enough voters in the traditionally blue states of wisconsin and pennsylvania of to be exact to eke out a surprise victory in the electoral if democrats want to wound trump in and defeat him in they would be wise to learn from his ignore identity embrace then embrace the economic implications of that but which identity could democrats and which economic

social justice and civil need to take a back seat to anybody on the issues of equal protection under the law and ryan is a pillar of the democratic regardless of who you are or who you is waging an assault on civil murphy democrats have to keep raising alarm bells about the way this administration is treating the lgbt yet in an era of overwhelming economic inequality and it would be they to let social issues define the the last few years spent percent of our time making economic arguments and percent of our time making social and cultural murphy need to be spending percent of our time making economic percent of our time making the problem in the reason trump won whole swaths of obama counties in pennsylvania and ohio just that he away from an economic contrast on to a debate on social and cultural as murphy put or that when clinton did talk about the she with programs and taxing the redistributing wealth and creating various new like paid family leave rather than vision of the change trying to bring about in according to it was that the former secretary of state had come to embody a democratic party that voters in those areas dismiss as a bunch of coastal wealthy in did not do enough over the course of the last or years to keep communities like mine plugged into the global he could see that trade in the aggregate globalization in the aggregate but it is disproportionate as to the the corporations have done really the wealthiest people have done really but communities like have been wiped absolutely true that we have not been seen as standing up for everyday folks because very we perriello our policies and our rhetoric over the last too many democrats too many times have seemed to stand with the rich and powerful over genuine economic vermont bernie surprisingly durable democratic primary performed better in this ryan striking a chord on the by hammering away at couple of popular think the party needs to learn from murphy yet none of these younger democrats answered yes when asked if the party actually needs to sound more like sanders a man who tweeted shortly after the that come from the white working and i am deeply humiliated that the democratic party cannot talk to the people where i came perhaps unrealistic to expect ambitious pols to endorse the agenda of a democratic socialist who refuses even to join their but if not clinton or then what should democrats sound like going was a favorite need to have new bolder bigger ryan got to have some populist murphy be afraid of telling people screwing the party of kander absolutely we should lean into line in politics today actually right left boring periello do believe that the democratic party will benefit by being were harder to come periello was the most inventive of the if also the he predicted that party figures out how to talk about automation and monopoly will control not just the economic conversation but politics for the next decade or he mentioned insurance not tied to and a robot tax and decentralized energy and two free years of community college or vocational party has fundamentally changed its economic outlook to adjust to the realities of the he ryan mentioned automation as well addition to his steelworker grandparents and his long record of voting against yet his diagnosis of an ailing democratic party was more detailed than his prescription to cure it a prescription that boiled down to tax breaks for companies willing to create jobs in places like youngstown and a nebulous plan to replace blighted home and every empty factory in the united states in the next five with things like and housing that millennials and baby boomers want to live was more calling for democratic message that says going to go after the bloated costs in the health care system and finally take on the drug companies and insurance companies that are making billions off your health but otherwise insisting that us to fundamentally change who we as long have the discipline to make the contrast every single and kander barely engaged at preferring to speak more broadly about we talk about we should talk about the way they affect people in their yet under the surface one could sense each of these democrats dancing around the more delicate issue of it was there in their vague yearning for and for an organizing principle that could transform and into a but most of it was there in the way they referred to the diverse democratic and hinted that an identity conceived around economics a class identity could both embrace that diversity and transcend unifying theme for all of those different groups is economics and wages and pensions and job security and getting investment into these communities that have been isolated over these last ryan people straight see democrats as a party out there fighting for none of these promising young democrats framed his politics in terms of none really seemed ready to resituate workers regardless of creed or sexuality at the heart of their one of their more seasoned has been quietly doing just when robert kennedy was shot and killed at the ambassador hotel in los angeles in his underdog bid for the democratic presidential nomination was gathering he had just won primaries in south dakota and what we remember today is how kennedy galvanized antiwar what we forget is that he also relied on a or coalition for much of his electoral have a just a to organize a new coalition of negroes and white people against the union and party kennedy told journalist jack newfield before he rfk never got that but from time to time his vision of an coalition a coalition of whites and minorities united around a populist agenda resurfaces in democratic policy papers and even campaign if anyone embodies that vision probably senior sherrod as a recent buzzfeed profile put it has a fierce populism and unapologetic progressive ideals to repeatedly win local and state elections even as ohio has trended increasingly won in cities and rural old manufacturing hubs and college diverse districts and first elected to congress in brown secured reelection two years later by picking off workers previously backed ross presidential in running for a second senate he earned percent of the black vote and outperformed his gop state treasurer josh in many industrial parts of the state including mahoning and trumbull where brown took percent and percent of the vote brown accomplish this by moderating his staunchly liberal views on social and cultural he was one of only two members

mandel next november because has spent his entire career first and over the concerns of not just white the way trump all do my very best to fight for working people in this brown told me last that means all workers whether you punch a time sheet or swipe a make a salary or earn whether on a contract or a temp working behind a on factory or behind a restaurant the fact all workers across this country are feeling senate populists elizabeth warren tend to view the world through an street brown sees everything from a to the casual sanders and warren can sound like bashing billionaires or bankers because billionaires or bankers a message that might resonate in liberal enclaves like vermont or massachusetts but play as well in middle in brown is always careful to remind voters that the real problem corporate per se that as he told no longer sharing in the wealth they help at what bank of america did this week downgrading chipotle because it pays its workers too much he view that american workers are a cost to be minimized instead of a valuable asset to invest in is everything wrong with wall street and our for brown refused to enroll in a congressional health saying he would not accept federally subsidized care until the american public could also avail itself of the same as a state representative in the he spent long days as listening to tales of worry and woe at the steelworkers union hall in his hometown of he went on to lead the bipartisan opposition to crossing then president bill more than two decades he helped torpedo the defying barack in brown wrote a book

moment on the national stage will ever but in the senator showed up at ohio state university in columbus with little put forward a vision that he help lead his party out of the political can accept that the workforce is brown said from behind a dinky podium what we cannot accept is that more and more of our workers are paid less and have little economic we need to update our economic our retirement policies and our labor laws to reflect the white paper that brown released that day working too hard for too a plan for restoring the value of work in america in some ways anticipated the blueprint that senate minority leader chuck schumer would unveil four months later both aim to combat the inequality of a system that gains for shareholders instead of benefits for as schumer put but the better deal a minimum paid corporate tax credits for a crackdown on prescription drug trillion for infrastructure as bold as it claims to much of it consists of material recycled from hillary this is bold economic program for the middle class and those working hard to get schumer insisted when he introduced the but the phrase was a giveaway the same old rhetoric of a party that still fears the plan was his pitch i can already hear the complaints coming from the corporate ideas cost too have to raise brown said in you never hear those concerns raised over the cost of shareholder payouts or corporate if the suite of populist policy proposals would strengthen key labor standards to reflect an economy that increasingly relies on alternative work arrangements he just raise the minimum wage and require paid sick days and paid family he would also expand collective bargaining he would ensure that alternative workers get benefits and he would crack down on companies that force people to work off the that refuse to pay the minimum that deny overtime that steal that knowingly misclassify workers to avoid paying fair and finally and perhaps most potently brown would implement what he calls a and approach to big companies that slash labor costs to pad their are going to cut taxes on the largest corporations and the wealthiest people in the the senator recently explained on pod save think those companies that pay a living wage and provide health benefits and retirement benefits and outsource their they should get a lower tax but the companies that pay or so that their employees get food stamps and medicaid and section housing those companies should pay a corporate freeloader fee because taxpayers have to subsidize those the chances of corporate freeloader fee actually becoming nil under the current and not much higher even if the democrats take both parties are loath to offend the business but as a statement of principle for the age of income inequality as a message to anxious workers that at least one party wants to make it less profitable for big companies to pay so little bolder than anything in the better trump himself may be providing the democrats with some political at a time when a republican president and his allies are scoring points by railing against elites democrats probably as susceptible to the whole class warfare attack as they used to and highly unlikely that the core class constituency professionals will defect to which appalls and terrifies just because dems start sticking up for workers instead of the slick of silicon antagonism toward trump will preserve the class politics could expand when we brown insisted that pretend to have all the and i see it as my role to tell my colleagues how they should talk to people in their but he has also suggested that if democrats the party could the national popular vote by million instead of million and still the electoral college because of as a party have to fight for the senator has said elsewhere this is the way to do let some corporate lobbyists call us workers are going to hear this and do better under the who knows if workers outside of ohio will ever hear a message like even that democrats will continue to shy away from class warfare and resist even a progressive concept of class identity a concept that sees class not as a way to turn white workers against the rest of the as trump has but rather as a way to unite all regardless of their other around a set of reforms that might help them withstand a economy that has rapidly and ruthlessly turned against black or gay or or even that democrats will run a couple of fairly and conventionally campaigns in the years ahead that double down on the motivate the promote a few better deal talking points in some ignore them in win the midterms and take back the white house in but the question democrats should be asking themselves what millions of american workers not just white but black hispanic women gay disabled workers are being left behind if the of the represent who in washington like to put voters into brown said near the end of our the truth is people think of themselves on some sort

the fossil fuel industry were not about to turn against their patrons merely out of concern for the future of life on the question came back to mind recently when the washington post reported that the trump administration was acknowledging a mainstream scientific prediction for global a catastrophic rise in average cumulative since preindustrial by the end of the century swamping islands and disrupting agriculture and making parts of the globe uninhabitably was shocked when i saw said david a senior attorney at the natural resources defense putting this this is the not some aging hippie in santa but the administration bringing up this scenario to emphasize the need for more urgent action to fight climate it treated it as a reason to do on the grounds that the world is screwed no

evidence admitting it was happening but claiming human activity then arguing that people were causing it but the effects would be or preferable to incurring the costs of controlling and has now arrived at the position that too late to do anything about the buried in an environmental impact statement from the national highway traffic safety assumes that worldwide greenhouse gas emissions continue indefinitely at the same level after thus it concedes in advance the failure of the paris agreement on global which is meant to limit further increases in global temperature to roughly half that amount by transitioning away from burning fossil fuels for trump has already announced his intention to withdraw from the the nhtsa statement was in support of scrapping one part of the obama

brings me to and what this little episode says about matt in rolling aptly describes philosophy as the denial of meaning and purpose in human i never thought of trump possessing any kind of considered philosophy that extended beyond got but maybe i was underestimating someone with the very good brain he likes to boast about his uncle was a professor at mit in case you know undoubtedly is well versed in the philosophy of trump certainly fits the description of one kind of postmodern nihilist found here dehumanized and directing psychological energy into hedonistic narcissism or into a deep ressentiment that often explodes in if life has no you might as well take advantage of its which is what trump has been doing all who was born in can afford not to worry about sea level rise in the

committee are about to find out how janitors get treated at the trump taj but if trump does become your nominee and even now after months of being wrong that pretty likely it mean destined for another defeat in on the trump would likely face hillary who would be an underwhelming candidate even if she swimming against a powerful historical current in seeking a third term for her and if michael bloomberg jumps in as an independent next month you two new yorkers and one billionaire path only gets the real question whether republicans really have a chance to win with because they the question is what kind of president he would my guess is that president trump actually be the often venomous leader seen rallying the faithful these last few he might well turn out to be something first dispense with the idea that should he continue his long march to the nomination will bring about the end times for politics as known i doubt trump will never be an orthodox candidate would any sane person look at the results thus far and conclude he should but shrewd enough to understand that general election campaigns the same thing as raucous primaries and that only a handful of people really know how to wage by convention you can bet have added a coterie of trusted hands to his and see pictures of him with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan on the capitol projecting the grim sobriety of an amish trump can play the game as well as he has no reason to overturn the but what if he were actually does he really have a governing and what can we extract from as rivals never tire of pointing out just before they flame out and quit the the full list of issues on which radically changed course over the years is thoughtful politicians of and we should applaud them for but this is less like an evolution than a brain transplant conducted by a trump supported health now he wants government out of the business he called for a steep tax on the now he would cut so many you just he was and now he was an independent leaning toward now a republican leaning toward i be at all surprised to learn that trump used to be a huge proponent of losing but has since come to embrace winning in all its myriad but not right to say that trump has no discernible true only in the binary context of our where we tend to see all governing constructs through the prism of left versus where the candidates stand on the issues trump has an and all about the one through his careers as a celebrity developer and then a reality tv star and now as a is that he measures his own success by sheer trump above all a supremely gifted and like all he must have your or at least your he goes where the crowd and he finds it hard to respect anyone who this is why he get through a single debate without reciting his poll numbers and mocking his opponents for nielsen building names external in whatever is his urgent and why i suspect for all his nativist and trump is no more of a culture crusader than i am an he as written an emotional a reckless provocateur who wants to make you feel pride or love or revulsion whatever it as long as you feel something president trump could just as easily end up a liberal president as a conservative an interventionist or a depending on where the applause was leading he could just as easily fill justice seat on the court with judge judy as with ken if that would please the you might take solace in the idea that trump at heart a you might intuit in that a certain kind of you the after is built to repel extreme you just walk into washington and enact some or a socialist the voters follow an ideological zealot too far down that path before reversing before you start with health care plan close to socialism just ask bernie but a president who is a vehicle for the mob of the no matter which direction coming is something else a president who wakes up every morning asking if his latest speech beat big bang or if it made him more popular than his adversaries

called the of the he lived in the social media adams might have worried more about the tyranny of the where george bush sought to protect muslim americans from an outpouring of trump has already indulged where barack obama moved cautiously to ease the racial tensions simmering in trump might consciously inflame what worries me about trump that not capable of making wise but rather that his

with private insurance will experience higher premiums and higher with lower tax credits to help working families cover the even as their plans might no longer cover mental health or expensive discrimination based on conditions could become the norm millions of families will lose coverage the senate bill would alter much of the affordable care or it removes taxes that the aca imposed to fund its expansion of these include taxes on medical companies and people who opted to not buy obama has remained mostly mute on political matters since the end of his but has repeatedly spoken out against obamacare repeal efforts that he says would be harmful to americans who become grow old or choose to have a repeating a previous offer said he would support a republican health care plan that demonstrably better than the improvements we made to our health care that covers as many people at less former president barack obama with youth leaders at the university of chicago to help promote

four conservative gop senators already said they oppose the bill in its current and some more moderate lawmakers have also expressed obama also asked the public to lobby their representatives against the this debate has always been about something bigger than about the character of our country who we and who we aspire to he always worth fighting read his full statement our politics are they have been for a long and while i know that division makes it difficult to listen to americans with whom we what we need to do i recognize that repealing and replacing the affordable care act has become a core tenet of the republican i hope that our many of whom i know step back and measure really at and consider that the rationale for on health care or any other must be something more than simply undoing something that democrats we fight for the affordable care act for more than a year in the public square for any personal or political gain we fought for it because we knew it would save prevent financial and ultimately set this country we love on a healthier nor did we fight for it thousands upon thousands of including threw themselves into that collective not for political but for intensely personal ones a sick a parent lost to the memory of medical bills that threatened to derail their and you made a for the first more than ninety percent of americans know the security of health health care while still have been rising at the slowest pace in fifty women be charged more for their young adults can stay on their plan until they turn contraceptive care and preventive care are now paying or being denied insurance altogether due to a preexisting condition we made that a thing of the we did these things so many of you made that change at the same i was careful to say again and again that while the affordable care act represented a significant step forward for it was not nor could it be the end of our efforts and that if republicans could put together a plan that is demonstrably better than the improvements we made to our health care that covers as many people at less i would gladly and publicly support that remains so i still hope that there are enough republicans in congress who remember that public service is not about sport or notching a political that a reason we all chose to serve in the first and that to make lives not but right after eight the legislation rushed through the house and the senate without public hearings or debate would do the it would raise reduce roll back and ruin medicaid as we know not my but rather the conclusion of all objective from the nonpartisan congressional budget which found that million americans would lose to and hospitals on the front lines of our health care the senate unveiled is not a health care a massive transfer of wealth from and poor families to the richest people in it hands enormous tax cuts to the rich and to the drug and insurance paid for by cutting health care for everybody those with private insurance will experience higher premiums and higher with lower tax credits to help working families cover the even as their plans might no longer cover mental health or expensive discrimination based on conditions could become the norm millions of families will lose coverage simply if a chance you might get get or start a family this bill will do you and small tweaks over the course of the next couple under the guise of making these bills easier to cannot change the fundamental meanness at the core of this i hope our senators ask themselves what will happen to the americans grappling with opioid addiction who suddenly lose their what will happen to pregnant children with poor adults and seniors who need care once they can no longer count on what will happen if you have a medical emergency when insurance companies are once again allowed to exclude the benefits you send you unlimited or set unaffordable what impossible choices will working parents be forced to make if their cancer treatment costs them more than their life to put the american people through that pain while giving billionaires and corporations a massive tax cut in return tough to but at stake right so it remains my fervent hope that we step back and try to deliver on what the american people that might take some time and compromise between democrats and but i believe what people want to i believe it would demonstrate the kind of leadership that appeals to americans across party and i believe that possible if you are willing to make a difference if willing to call your members of

into the democratic national headquarters at the watergate building in they were arrested and and in the ensuing it became clear that they were working under the auspices of the white richard nixon got through the election without very much being identified with this from january until august there was a series of revelations and bombshells that started to consume the nixon it all culminated in his resignation in the summer of the question of whether to bring a president or a former president to justice was laying out there in washington for somebody to take and put up on his former vice president gerald had a tremendous need to get past and he did it in the only way that he knew he settled it on his it was courageous but it was also very as watergate was coming to a and nixon was preparing to alexander chief of went to office with a piece of paper that had been prepared by its title was for the option of there were various ways that nixon could leave office without being the last three involved the first was that nixon would pardon himself and the second was that nixon would pardon everyone who was being investigated for and and the third was that gerald ford would ascend to the presidency and then pardon richard ford did not agree to as he said later was no deal because i accept any but the fact that he had actually considered this raised awareness all around that it was a so nixon goes out in a he walks gets on the red carpet and goes to the helicopter with his and gerald ford and betty ford standing beside ford clutches betty and can do and he walks inside and becomes the president of the united states while in the air on his way back to gerald ford was a terrific president for a he was open where nixon was he appeared to be honest where nixon appeared to be he was he was he was whole approach during his first month was to try to move the country toward the he adopted what somebody else called the of the presidential and he was wildly successful at he met with the congressional black which nixon had refused to he met with the congressional which nixon had refused to and the country was wowed and refreshed and ford was very happy about he felt that the country was seeing that he was the right guy to put america back on a solid footing and to bring people together but i think any president has come to the presidency with as many challenges as ford faced during his first month in the white house was in the economy was in the worst shape that it had been in since the great and then there was a very complex array of international crises that he had to deal there was almost a war between greece and turkey over he also had to deal with what was going to happen to chief aides were about to go to nixon himself had been named as an unindicted the grand jury wanted to indict there was clearly a question of whether nixon could and should be but nobody else in washington was willing to step not the special not the grand not ford have to pardon nixon and there were a lot of people around ford who were urging him not but in the ford had more urgency about resolving this issue than anyone around it was a sunday it was the day of there had been no advance he just went on television and announced that he was going to pardon richard nixon of any crimes he may have committed in important to realize that nixon had not been indicted he been convicted of so this was a carte blanche as it turned ford was he political enough in his he thought the american people would forgive and if nixon had been more more they might but the weakness of admission left ford hanging out by gerald ford was betrayed by nixon left office with a percent approval a month ford had a percent approval but when ford announced the his approval virtually to under and it never gerald ford tried harder probably harder than anyone to be a good but without the trust of the american that was an insurmountable decision to pardon nixon exemplifies leadership by demonstrating by allowing himself to be the person identified with this dramatic he was putting himself in a position where he was shadowed by ambiguity for the rest of his political the it took almost years for people who had originally been very critical of the pardon to decide that it really was a courageous act in the best interest of the ford came into office with such promise with a deep appreciation for what the american people had been through and what it was going to take for them to in light of how divided we are not hard to wish that he had been more successful as a click

the profile white house i think he started thinking about another longtime gop campaign hand was less circumspect though he declined to be named to speak more is from the land of george bush and rick who both ran for he think looking at the white house right now and thinking he can do so much a former texas supreme court justice who spent years as the state attorney general before becoming has the strict conservative credentials that many republicans used to require for those considering higher office at least in the days before and he already has close relationships with the koch brothers and other heavyweight conservatives who were viewed as republican kingmakers before unlikely campaign for president upended the campaign and shook up the what is telling is that abbott did not seem so outwardly surprised by though he had endorsed ted a close friend and political ally who had worked for him as solicitor general in the gop abbott did not criticize trump in the way many others in his party perhaps because he had already been embracing issues that came to animate surprising political including calls for stronger border a crackdown on sanctuary cities and efforts to limit the resettlement of syrian refugees in the while efforts to deliver on those campaign promises have been caught up in a mix of politics and legal wrangling in abbott has continued to push forward with little raising the idea that vision for america may ultimately be implemented by state executives like not the white in abbott signed a law banning sanctuary which threatens local officials not only with stripped state funding but jail time and removal from public office if they do not cooperate with federal immigration known as the bill also included a controversial provision that allows law enforcement officers to question the immigration status of people they similar to executive order signed earlier this year that sought to strip federal funding from sanctuary the texas law has prompted a flurry of including lawsuits from local governments including four largest san antonio and but unlike which has been blocked by the courts and is currently under the law abbott signed is set to take effect on barring interference from the abbott has seized on other issues that have been championed by trump and energized his conservative he has argued against the resettlement of syrians and other refugees in his state though as governor of texas he can do little but complain about what is largely a federal and echoing abbott has decried what he has described as voter across though only a few cases have actually merited prosecution so earlier this a mexican national from fort worth was sentenced to eight years in prison for illegally voting in the and the who is a permanent resident and cast her ballot for republican candidates including texas attorney general ken who prosecuted her said she believed she was allowed to vote and simply made a but abbott pointed to her case as proof that fraud is real and will be punished in the state of on some abbott is further to the right than trump though unclear whether he is there out of personal conviction or the fear of being outflanked by other prominent texas that includes lieutenant dan a fiery former talk radio host and tea party conservative from houston who is the tonal opposite of the more restrained who tends to operate with what a friend describes as a their differences in style has led to even from that abbott has allowed patrick too much control of the agenda in people close to governor insist he is not but some also acknowledge the pressure abbott has faced in keeping up with a party that has moved further and further to the biggest challenge for abbott right now is the danger of getting flanked on the and he knows a close ally of abbott the atmosphere just keeps getting more and more you think we can get anymore and then we and so he just has to keep going that to stay ahead of the

the moderate republican speaker of the the governor called the state legislature back to with the bathroom bill as one of the leading agenda abbott has said the bill is necessary to clarify state law

against abbott next year something who has announced his own bid for has repeatedly the texas governor launched his reelection bid against the backdrop of the special session in what seemed to be a

hillary clinton in the smallest margin of victory for a republican presidential candidate in though they have worked hard for years to make inroads into what has unquestionably become one of the reddest states in the many texas democrats believe their party is still far from winning back significant ground in the democrats held a statewide office in texas since longest record of any state in

state within a few and the influx of new voters from states like drawn to texas by lower taxes and strong economic but abbott attributed the results to outside forces like george soros and house

break from studying for the he went for a run and was jogging past a towering oak tree as it crashed to the a nearby cadillac was and so was nearly killing he was hospitalized for months and left paralyzed from the waist doctors rebuilt his vertebrae piece by piece along with steel rods in his when abbott tells the story on the he tries to do so with a little telling voters that politicians promise all the time that they will have a spine of really do have a steel the governor disability makes him unusual especially in texas where politicians are known for their but observing one quickly

federal and i go but having trump in the white house has made it trickier for abbott to present himself as a relentless warrior against many of the regulations that he filed suit including rules from the environmental protection are in the process of being dialed back by the trump which means abbott has less to complain on the campaign trail and on the he rarely mentions in a radio interview

looking and looking but find it and then they found and you sort of a much more intimate you if nothing you change your phone number in minutes like you could change your email and she was getting text it was just jennifer clinton campaign communications so we were dealing with a little bit of aftermath from including hillary having to get a new in obama administration officials are preparing to issue a statement accusing russia of hacking the democratic national jeh former secretary of homeland over the course of the there came a point when the intelligence community had concluded that the russian government was behind the attempts to interfere in the election through the hacks to the and we were seeing this emerging picture of scanning and probing around voter registration we reached a probably late when the proof was beyond a reasonable the question then became what to do about a number of us felt very strongly that we had to tell the american public what we in the midst of the election we had to tell the public what we james former director of national we had a number of meetings and had debates about it about whether we should say something and what to and the arguments revolved around whether if we say something particularly if the president were to say something about what the russians were would dignify or amplify what the russians where and would that be seen as the administration putting its hand on the scale in favor of one of the there was a concern that by making in and of be undermining the integrity of our election this was a situation where the national security apparatus of our government was pretty much injecting itself into an ongoing which happen too and it required a lot of careful so we went around and around about jeh and i were of one one voice on where we felt very strongly knowing what we it was imperative to share that we were in the midst of a very heated campaign where one of the candidates was casting doubt on the integrity of our saying that the election outcome was going to be rigged a month and we were very concerned about not playing into exactly we were also getting reports that that may be the russian exact by hacking into the dnc and so we were wrestling with several different crosscurrents of in the we concluded we had to tell the public what we and that it would be unforgivable if we did if the election did go south for one reason or and then afterwards it was learned that we knew about what the russians were doing and sat be hell to then the question at first we thought seriously about the intelligence and i think that was a right because this was their assessment and their and at one jim clapper and i decided we should both issue a which i we could sort of lay down the and gonna issue a statement on behalf of the department of homeland security what doing about and i remember sitting next to jim in the situation and he slipped me a note we just issue a joint and i a great do the objective was to get it out and make this publicly known to people before the election of what the russians were somewhere in russian president vladimir putin is celebrating his trump aides say the candidate will spend the rest of the day doing debate the group prepping him includes campaign chief steve campaign manager kellyanne adviser stephen republican national committee chairman reince former new york city mayor rudy giuliani and new jersey chris who had been playing hillary clinton in debate david deputy trump campaign we were in the conference room on the floor in trump where we held virtually every one of our debate prep sessions with there was six or eight of us in the at about the same time at the washington fahrenthold gets a phone call from a source who claims to have video of trump making lewd comments about women we know it was we know it the video captures a hot mic conversation between trump and billy bush during a taping of on the set of of our fahrenthold watched the footage on his computer at his desk in the post you see a bus driving through a backlot in hollywood pretty and you hear kinda muffled you see mouth moving you just see the but then after a few seconds you start hearing this dialogue between trump and billy you the first two minutes you knew that you were seeing something really trump brags to bush that he can kiss and grope women because of his celebrity a they let you do trump them by the you can do we were pretty used to being shocked by donald these were things that were beyond what heard so i called my my desk over to look at it and she puts the headphones on and i can see her watching covered covered all kinds of things that you very seen a lot of things in her and she made this noise outrage and shock and a guttural that i this is this is really something the race is on to publish my editor was in line at whole i know what he was doing at whole foods on a friday but he was at whole so i called him and told i got something really you gotta come and we sort of started the ball because we knew we had this we knew it was really we know who else had and so we wanted to make sure we got it out as fast as we the tape is given to the video staff for they had to add subtitles you really hear the audio that they wanted to cut it down because the last three minutes are boring just trump getting a tour of the nbc and they wanted to run it by their so they have this ready by i think that was the deadline they gave hillary clinton everyone in the path of hurricane stay and know that america is with i worked for president obama in when we had superstorm and that meant sort of a respite in the and people stopped and this was a pretty unusual we expect that there would be some but things would slow and plus they would slow down because preparing for the the clinton campaign reached out to my office and would like a briefing on the recovery i but have to offer the same thing to candidate so i call chris and i secretary clinton wants a briefing on offering the same thing to the trump and he set it johnson and joseph then the deputy administrator of the federal emergency management call clinton to brief her on hurricane this was a pretty significant hurricane moving up the florida and in any briefing to the or the or in this case candidates for you give them the rundown about the extent and the effects of the its likely the devastation that and what fema is doing about what the disaster declarations and so we gave secretary clinton the rundown on what happened that minutes i call they put me straight into his the president respected the secretary of homeland security very dealing with the secret service protection and the protection for his family was very important to he was very and he was very interested in what we had to and then got off the phone and presumably returned to debate neither one of them brought up that they were preparing for a and i remember just briefed them on this hurricane and the relief but i tell them that working on finalizing this statement about the russian interference in their the question i will always have in my is whether at that moment when i spoke to him at that he was aware of the video that was dropping on his seem he seemed to be in pretty good spirits that around fahrenthold calls the trump campaign to explain he has a copy of the tape that the paper plans to and to give trump a chance to he gives the trump campaign a deadline of i was sitting right next to steve bannon when my blackberry went there was a message from hope hicks longtime telling me that she had been contacted by the washington post reporter who wanted a comment on a transcript that he claimed that he so i showed my blackberry to handed it to let him read we then decided to leave the room to discuss it we said we gonna be giving out a comment without seeing david deputy trump campaign yahoo news more we have any we have any we know what was i sent them a transcript of the two the sort of most offensive part of the we read the transcript together having known the president now for seven or eight it sound like the first reaction we got back from them that sound like that sound like something he would can you send us the as bossie and bannon discuss the jared and then a senior campaign emerges from the elevator bank and walks over to join their hicks and jason the trump campaign communications join standing outside in the outside of the conference we were having a conversation about what to inside the room is chris christie and reince priebus still continuing with the debate prep which we had just gotten started about and when we started these we had a rule of thumb not to interrupt and because a glass they could see us out and reince and chris were wondering what we were never a good sign you the senior staff is having a huddle outside of the so they knew something was they just know the senior staff interrupts debate prep to discuss the according to when trump saw the he said it sound like anything he would he sound like the white house releases a joint statement from the department of homeland security and office of the director of national intelligence saying for the first time publicly that the russian government was behind the election hacking and that could have authorized the as we were writing this it occurred to me that this is i think the united states government had ever before accused a foreign superpower publicly of intervening in our political and i thought that was a big joel clinton campaign we had suspected that the dnc hack had been done by it turns out we were we thought this would pick up some at that given the people who were saying karen clinton strategic adviser and campaign it was a very big at that point you gonna be the it was so the thought was that probably gonna be what be talking about into the i remember jake who was leading the overall debate prep effort and was secretary chief foreign policy stepped out to take a phone call about we jumped on a conference call within the hour after that joint statement was that statement was not something we had been to my the campaign really kicked into gear on the dni we had a bit of a we set up a conference folks who were in debate prep dialed as did folks who were in the those of us who were in the headquarters gathered in person at robby office and had the call on a speaker the likes of jen and podesta and joel benenson dialed in from the debate prep we talked probably for or minutes about how to react to the i remember one of the points of discussion on the call how should we try to hold donald feet to the fire in the aftermath of this joint sullivan came back in and we stopped and he briefed secretary clinton and the rest of us about what had happened and its and we sent a little group of them to rewrite a few pages in the debate book around that to strengthen our answers around russian interference in the election put more pointed challenges to trump on a little team went off to write we returned to and practicing for the several of us felt that we should insist that he accept the findings of the of the obama administration and denounce and condemn the intrusion on our others felt that that was too low a bar and that trump of course would take the opportunity to say he accepts the findings and condemns this breach of the several others of us felt that it seemed like it had been pretty much a given that no matter what evidence might surface about the for whatever reason he was always going to be loath to criticize vladimir we felt it would be a sufficient way to jam him to simply urge him to acknowledge that it was the work of the it was a somebody was trying to get us to be it important to i barely remember that being the this was a big moment for we finally felt like this is going to be the major topic of the finally going to get some unmitigated scrutiny of this issue been trying to drive getting closer to some discussion among the we send them the so we send it to and we tell now the deadline is you you have to get back to us by inside the conference room on the floor of trump trump and his top campaign staffers watch the tape for the first we watched it we all watched it together at the same we pulled it up my and we watched it on the ipad the according to the new york trump agrees to say he is sorry if anyone was offended ivanka who was in the makes emphatic case for a but her father is she trump remained his eyes welled with her face and she hurried out in trump reacted exactly like i expected him which a very unflappable person when it comes to these types of and you he is somebody who took it internalized it and worked on the response are we gonna do about as opposed to dwelling on christie later tells a new jersey radio station that he urged trump to made that very clear to donald on friday when this first came out you urged him to be contrite and apologetic because what he needs to christie is you stuff that you just be involved in and even be in chicago for a pair of private democratic president obama makes an unannounced stop to cast his early asked by the traveling press pool who he voted obama looks up and president barack obama casts his ballot at the cook county office building in chicago on susan more jesse clinton campaign deputy national press the irony is a month in advance i remember us talking about that being a big moment because we were trying to encourage people to take advantage of early and the president doing it would put a spotlight on it that might raise awareness of the opportunity and encourage people to do and we thought that would be a important when in because of everything else that not only did it not become but in history it was completely earlier that fahrenthold called nbc for comment on the in her memoir about covering the trump nbc news correspondent katy tur describes the drama unfolding inside rockefeller was called into executive wing around not in the executive said over the get down the tape was from had it in their archives and the washington post somehow got hold of because is an nbc universal the post called us for i was find an office and get me a the executive go to air as soon as we can get the video into the system and legal and standards has to review what you report before you report reach out to the we need their do it so coming up on we had written the whole we talked to our lawyers who had decided that we believe this was this was it was the candidate for the president of the united states saying these terrible we were gonna publish it whether the trump people were going to comment or we still wanted to give them till to you we you one of the best communications directors in the jason in the doing the initial draft of what that response would be to the washington with input from hope hicks and steve bannon and kellyanne conway and others that were in the chris reince and there were as you we wanted to get something out the washington post was pressing us for a and we want the story to go out without a a kind you politics i had been reporting on the trump campaign for a long time about his and generally they just never responded to they would never even they just call me back at and i sort of expected what would happen in this but it in this comes and still terrified that nbc or somebody else has this tape and gonna publish so the editor leaves my desk to walk the sort of or feet to her desk to push to publish and in that in you the trump people hope hicks gonna send you a the trump campaign sends a statement to the washington was a private conversation that took place many years bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course not even i apologize if anyone was conway claims the candidate came up with the phrase donald i the way he views and most of what you with always his voice and his fahrenthold by for some news about the washington post story about the tape is published trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in maggie new york times i got an email alert from the washington post in my i was asked to try to figure out what was happening inside the trump campaign and how they were dealing with and everybody had gone i was like frantically texting people and i reach tweets a link to his just start kissing just i even trump when a star they let you do the thing that really stood the place where i felt like we were seeing donald character come through was in this line where he says to billy you just start kissing i even and when a they let you do in those in a they let you do there was a weird sense of not for his he is actually reflecting that he believe the world lets him get away with that he was just expressing the unlimited things he could get away with because he was rich and i thought that was one of the most telling things of that whole conversation describing to you about how he views the world and what his place in it this audiotape certainly felt like it could end and not just because it was so but because it felt like it was consistent you someone who was brash and arrogant and disrespectful of but also has lived his life in this very disconnected world where you can do back at the doral the clinton campaign learns about the tape during debate all of a sudden you notice that some people in the room were a little distracted they had seen something on their twitter or wherever they saw a little buzzing conversation in the and eventually someone said that we should some big so we stopped where we were we had kind of taken a wing of the a conference area of the and there was a room where we did most of the debate practice and adjacent to it is what they used for groups a lounge room with a bunch of bar it was filled with we walked there and grabbed some snacks and flipped on the tvs and watched the reporting on the hillary clinton watches the tape along with her i really focused on her reaction to i was sitting at a table with policy jake other people were scattered at other we watched the coverage like everybody it was being played over and over again so you hear it just and people are all spread out in this and there is silence for a long people trying to absorb that this is actually real and how the hell did the washington post get before conversations and i remember at one i was looking at the monitor and i remember hillary clinton was seated behind me because she had lunch and so we had taken this break in debate prep and she was getting something to you i saw her face at one just in absolute disbelief that we were listening to this coming from a man who was a presidential a nominee of a major in her campaign clinton describes the seeing the tape for the first team and i had finished a grueling morning debate prep we had taken a break for the television was on in the with no then a commentator came on to warn viewers that they were about to hear something was that for hearing the donald trump tape was literally as for it made me sad for women and for men and for all of it was just it still and it always will because the tape is never going part of our history a screengrab from the more who was traveling with vice presidential nominee tim kaine in i have enough bandwidth on my phone to play the whole but then when we to then be able to play the tape was absolutely i remember i had to play it a couple of because i just believe that anyone would talk like that someone who was seeking to be president of the united states of america was so can you be shocked but not is that technically if that was the i think jaws hit the floor because of how offensive it but at the same this was who we all believed donald trump was and been saying donald trump was for so there was also a sort of degree of validation for our continued argument that he was unfit to be that he possess the moral character that he should to be campaigns are so and i remember thinking as that sort of gossipy sort of chatter was going that with donald you every new revelation was so shocking and appalling and you sorta what more could there so that when this it certainly felt like this was the at clinton campaign headquarters in top staffers are working on a statement in response to the conclusion by intelligence agencies that the russian government was behind the election then televisions set to msnbc flash news about the the network was cutting in with breaking news about a washington post report about some tape that had been acquired where trump was quoted saying absurdly sexist just hearing not hearing the actual audio of the tape most of us thought that would be the secondary thing right now because this is the moment been waiting for to finally get attention for the russia so finish banging out this get it right so we can blast it but after the audio is played on they realize the tape is going to be a huge the one reaction i remember etched in my mind is that of laura who was the deputy national security adviser on the we all were just staring at the television and hearing it through the open door and at one point after we sort of processed what was being said on the laura rosenberger gasped and sort of clutched her chest and that was the first moment that sort of drove home how horrified women collectively were going to be by this audio that had i imagine that any mother or father of a brother of a sister would be able to vote for somebody who bragged about and proudly proclaimed that he was basically committing sexual assault on women and bragging about fallon and glen the clinton national break away to finish the statement on we released it and started circulating it and working the phones and trying to get people to still care and pay attention to this issue in the todd then the assistant secretary for public affairs at homeland recalls being on the phone with a top network correspondent who was working on a piece for that news broadcast about the dni statement on the who breasseale declined to identify by was excited about what he saw as an unprecedented disclosure of a foreign power attacking american he heard the correspondent barking to a unmute the it was a cable news report about the access hollywood not going to believe the correspondent shouted over the i got to the correspondent hanging up the you could see your hopes of ever being able to make russia a big issue just wikileaks begins publishing thousands of emails obtained in a hack of john personal including some that reveal the inner workings of the clinton wikileaks founder julian who is living in exile in the ecuadorian embassy in refuses to reveal the source of the tony who was the research was in the room with and he just looks like some of john emails have been leaked and i think maybe the wall street speech transcripts are in and that is when i need to go take a i got and i was i got my i turned on bruce it as it and did a couple laps around the doral arrowwood and i was this is been a lot of but this is really this one is just really off the any day that hillary clinton and the word are in a story was going to be a bad day for we knew voters were making no distinction between the wikileaks emails and the political emails and john emails and hillary emails from secretary of that was something we overcome unless we were gonna have to try to do a tutorial in which been politically particularly in a race where we have an edge that trying to we had a very generalized suspicion that there was going to be more material that would be weaponized against us and that it would probably be the work of the both campaigns see conspiracy rather than at first i just had to laugh because it was so and obviously not an and to this day i wonder what the leak of emails was meant to cover up or distract the tape or suspicious about the suspicious that the tape came out either through trump sources or russia sources to distract from the statement about the first thing that comes to my mind this is a clinton a clinton oppo research effort to influence the sunday night debate coming up in pure and and i think i still believe to do this that they were the ones who put it and then emails was just another distraction you to further obfuscate what was in the very damning information that was in the statement on that could seem although not sure farfetched you what we know to be and it also could seem reckless because that tape did hurt donald but if the you stone see it that it was it was i think it was since i have nothing to do with their release and nothing to do with the billy bush of speculating as news about the tape mike pence is in eating a chili dog with his daughter at tony café a frequent stop for republican presidential contenders and their running the restaurant has a wall of signed cardboard hot dog equivalent of the hollywood walk of and reporters are positioned to watch pence sign a bun when suddenly the event is called the pool was told pence would be leaving directly after he finished without looking at the signatures or shaking any more politico reports pool was instructed to return to the press bus and was not permitted to film pence leaving the restaurant thus stripping them of an opportunity to ask pence for his jason republican congressman from utah and former chairman of the house oversight i saw it on the drudge as i recall and then i actually clicked through to see the actual video and watch it for so i could make my own and it was it was it was the we have this sort roundabout way about talking about scandalous things like sex things in lying and two things that we like to describe in very convoluted and so in this case we struggled with both what curse word we were going to you basically this had every possible curse the same issue plays out in newsrooms around the the new york times chooses not to censor comments in its article about the tape in this frame from donald trump for an appearance on of our with actress arianne zucker he is accompanied to the set by access hollywood host billy bush by the washington post via getty more on correspondent brianna keilar describes the tape to viewers during lead with jake censoring herself on the did try and eff she was trump and then a little later goes on to talk about you automatically attracted to i just start kissing like a just i even and when a they let you do you can do and trump them by the and he uses a word that begins with which is a slang term for he can do keilar also reads statement that defends the comments as chuck todd really think this is a sufficient do the response to our response you in what we thought it would which we need to do and when we decided to do the you that hillary clinton tweets this is we cannot allow this man to become stephen colbert retweets clinton be a pretty sure hillary said is in top clinton operatives decide to take an early dinner break while they debate the significance and how to i think we had the same reaction as the rest of the like this is how do you come back from it like everyone call it a day and go to the but it was i how much more devastating can it i remember when we first heard the i actually turned to jake sullivan and is not going to change we had a spirited debate about i as horrible as this none of the people who are voting for him will have their mind changed by i will say that was a strong minority view in the most people thought this was kind of either the end for trump or a devastating blow and a lot of speculation began to swirl in the room about whether trump would come to the debate on did she need to say anything more in person ahead of the it was friday sunday night seemed like a very long time or could we wait and have her not speak until the night of the debate on she thought she should she thought that be more powerful for the first time people hear from her be on the stage facing him and saying this to his i had no doubt in my mind that this would be the first question in the debate and we could hammer it then in front of a nationally televised at first i had thought that she should say something beforehand and that it seemed like a very long time to get through without hearing from but she probably gonna be better if i and the more i thought about it and understood what she wanted to say to his i thought that was gonna be a pretty powerful i was anxious as hell to get into the field conduct we talked about whether we should accelerate our polling schedule and go in right and we let it let it sink in for a couple of the post has an internal system we use to track web number of people reading the story at one on your a little a and it like a bugs bunny cartoon that the started spinning instead of going like it was going around like we actually broke the system that was designed to track we had so much traffic that the system to track web traffic i was not expecting but by you an hour you could tell it just was gonna be something really pence attends a previously scheduled rally in ohio he ignores the instead using his speech to talk up leadership and his ability to be a strong commander in he tries to ignore questions on the how can you ignore this one reporter this time we got this time we found that another tweet come out or pence time we got another another issue come then they turn on the next television the next and donald trump is still standing stronger than ever before and fighting for the american and he is going to fight all the way to the white pence is about the and his wife is furious the associated press according to the new york he calls trump after the rally to urge him to show corey lewandowski former campaign manager turned cnn offers his reaction to the i think what this comes down and this is not a is clearly this is not how women should be spoken but not choosing a sunday school teacher and i want to be very clear about and what we know about donald this is years this and it does not reflect or bring to mind the donald trump that spent months with never heard anything like this out of and so let me appointing a we are electing a leader to the free not electing a sunday school but condemnations from fellow republicans begin to roll in jeb as the grandfather of two precious i find that no apology can excuse away donald reprehensible comments degrading reince priebus woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this john make no the comments were wrong and they are at some point at or i walked into one of the rooms and jen and podesta were in there busily scribbling away on a and i going and they told me the first batch of the emails had been podesta not happy about being hacked by the russians in their quest to throw the election to donald have time to figure out which docs are real and which are we talked about what was in some of those and so i sent another little group of people off to write debate answers about what was in those immediately there was an effort to try to understand what they had and what they were dumping the triage was happening by monitoring reporters were culling it quicker than we back in they set up an operation to start searching through all of his emails to understand better what you what was had a big team of people doing it was a lot of john you know you feel really and the first step was to not gonna validate not gonna authenticate this was stolen and not gonna get into that game with anybody in the press or anybody so your you go figure out if authentic or as i said to one editor later on after the i you suggesting that we should validate or invalidate would be you woodward and bernstein going to richard nixon and is what deep throat telling me you your job as you go do the just take it from an agency that you know has ties to who you just learned is meddling with our who had gone to her home for does not return to the we told her not to bother to come practice because the situation was so clinton tweets a digital campaign ad that uses a clip from the have the power to stop on fox bill plays part of the tape of but omits the crudest donald trump was doing a segment with he was speaking with the entertainment reporter billy bush privately about the washington post somehow acquired that not going to play too much of it because crude guy but a better use some tic tacs in case i start kissing you know automatically attracted to beautiful i just start kissing like a just i even and when a star they let you do you can do more prominent republicans call on trump to issue a house majority leader kevin mccarthy is absolutely no place for that sort of conduct or language in our donald trump must make a full and unqualified house speaker paul am sickened by what i heard women are to be championed and not i hope trump treats this situation with the seriousness it deserves and works to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women than this clip people were is kellyanne trump campaign yahoo news more democrats were calling and i was getting calls from very excited and very concerned i got a call from a republican strategist who was working with the campaign who was because the expectation is that this meant that trump was and that this was such a mess for the it just looked like a dire situation for us and sure the clinton camp was jumping up and down with there was never a and largely you if done enough campaigns you know that october is really and a lot of strange things it is very and i think at the i certainly felt and i think others that it was too i never thought this was going to be a game i never thought trump was going to drop out and i never thought his key supporters were going to abandon there was not a question that he was ever going to drop never assumed he but there was a moment when i thought the republican leadership might block i think other people at first you how can he survive republicans were starting to turn on him pretty seen moments like this seen moments where republicans would get nervous in the moment about something trump had said or done and react quickly in a sort of attempt to distance themselves from but they would always come back as the evening played on and a few prominent republicans came out and raised doubts about i think there was some euphoria by some members of the at some point there was even a deliberate discussion about how we make sure to not let expectations of the impact of this get carried away when we knew full well that the race would still not be we knew people would claim it but we believe the no least of all thought that this was in any way a slam they also worried about the volatility the tape could bring to the if in the stability is your if you know we need to mix up this race any more than it the clinton campaign releases a statement on the confirming russia was behind the election should concern every american that russia is willing to engage in such hostile acts in order to help donald trump become a pair of trump former gop rivals and two of his favorite targets tweet their disdain for his marco rubio tweets comments were egregious impossible to no one should ever talk about any woman in those even in ted cruz comments are disturbing and there is simply no excuse for daughter every person deserves to be treated with dignity and sometime on friday billy bush releases a statement via nbc news embarrassed and no but this happened years i was less and acted foolishly in playing very senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says comments are and unacceptable in any and makes clear his brief statement would not the father of three i strongly believe that trump needs to apologize directly to women and girls and take full responsibility for the utter lack of respect for women shown in his comments on that no question the sunshine soldiers are heading for the these are people who largely know donald above not a just not in his but there were a lot of depressed people that and in a normal presidential this would be a determinative but there was nothing normal about the entire chaffetz announces he is withdrawing his endorsement of becoming one of the first prominent republicans to do talked through it with my wife and thought about it and i like to think i call balls and strikes as i see and i just i endorse a person going to be acting like on tonight with don chaffetz and got a do you think i can look her in the eye and tell her that i endorse donald trump for president when he acts like that was the if there is one moment that is both indelibly seared in my brain but also reflective of what happened in this jason watching him lie on call express his say he look his daughter in the eye if he stands by announces out and you know coming from the man who had been leading the witch hunt against it was you stunning moment that made me think that the republican party that this might have been the straw that broke the back for the republican and then whatever it hours chaffetz is back and announcing voting for at wrigley field in the cubs defeat the san francisco giants in game of the national league division back at trump trump continues to consult with top aides in his office about how to respond to a crisis that is quickly spinning out of aides later tell reporters that trump wanted to have a friday night news but his backed up by his children don and talk him out of worried it would make things it is decided late friday that trump will issue a statement via video to try and stem gop i heard from a source that they had put in a request to get an ad like an advertising crew really like a film crew shooting they end up i think using that they had to do something different from within their own shortly after trump issues a videotaped statement never said a perfect nor pretended to be someone that said and done things i and the words released today on this more than a video are one of anyone who knows know these words reflect who i i said it was and i traveled the country talking about change for but my travels have also changed spent time with grieving mothers lost their workers whose jobs have gone to other and people from all walks of life who just want a better i have gotten to know the great people of our and been humbled by the faith placed in i pledge to be a better man and will ever let you be living in the real this is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we are facing we are losing our we are less safe than we were eight years ago and washington is hillary and her have run our country into the said some foolish but there is a big difference between words and bill clinton has actually abused women and hillary has shamed and intimidated his we will discuss this more in the coming see you at the debate on that was a very insincere i felt like he was apologizing because he got i feel like he was speaking from his he was reading off a teleprompter and it it looked like a hostage i you could see that he was unhappy doing you one of rules is never really not in his in this i think he understood that what he thought at the time was kinda now on the big stage of presidential politics looked i think he was a little angry at also the only time i think that i saw trump where he actually seemed roger longtime trump political yahoo news more it was the only time in my memory that trump has ever been by that i mean he felt shame in a way that you could the only time ever seen him experience shame that he mask as toughness in some other known donald trump for he during the presidential campaign of when mitt romney issued one of his weekly apologies for something stupid that he trump was tearing his hair wrong with this why does he keep so it was out of i also think at the it was politically necessary and it did help quell you the as it the clinton campaign staff is at the hotel discussing how clinton should address the tape when video is released all standing at the waiting to see what trump does a bar in this not out in but glued to the chilling out after debate kind of finished our what are they gonna he said which to us was some of us were in the minority opinion that he was not going to see this as something he wanted to fall on his sword since just not his and that he would be pretty trumpish about and then you kinda get this midnight hostage video with his phony apology to in we watch it together and for the first minute i was was i because saying all the right and then it just went off the it was clinton has said not like we thought he was going to raise the white and his friday night video statement made clear his right after the hostage it was obviously clear trump was staying in the it was obviously clear he was coming to the debate on and trump was coming not with his tail between his legs but with his claws bared and we needed to get ready for then the question was should she go out and say something saturday morning or should we save it for the our consensus that we reached probably by in the morning just save it for the we want to give trump the benefit of the back and forth over the we wanted the focus to be on him and him coping with why mess with something that was playing out as horribly for him as it possibly could she say anything that would carry more weight than members of his own party we want to undertake any steps that would cause partisans to retreat back into their corners where republicans reflexively started defending him just because hillary attacked a rule in when someone is in the middle of a shit you get in the middle of and you this was of such a that we see if they can wind their way out of have her stay not weigh let this the added virtue of holding her back and keeping her in it would ensure that whatever she said at the debate would be the news of the they did recognize that there was there was something fraught about this in terms of her because of her and so trump and women was always a pretty dangerous area for and this was no the eve of the second presidential reporters spot several trump aides and advisers entering trump tower early in the including chris kellyanne conway and rudy hillary clinton returns to the doral arrowwood hotel in westchester to prepare for sunday the tape is news around the the declaration that russia was behind the election hacking is jeh it was news that because of the i pick up the and i pick up the and it is literally news in both i was expecting it to be above the not but at least maybe a and it was this was the united states government accusing the russian government of interfering in our election through a big and i expected it to be above the and i expected it to be something that would have a lot of currency over the following and that it would be a continuing conversation with more questions from the how do we know what is the extent of and the press had gone off to the other end of the pasture of greed and sex and i started to realize how much my own comments had been retweeted and i was a little surprised by saturday at the grocery store picking up something for my and i saw my phone that jason you then the house oversight committee the guy who had given hillary clinton so much trouble about someone who was sort of like a moral authority in the republican i think the words you look my teenage daughter in the eye and say i supported donald in the clinton campaign is preparing for the debate and for the inevitable questions about the tape face at the we did a lot of with we obviously spent a lot of time working on revising her russian answers to try to make them more drafting and practicing some answers about what we thought were the most likely questions around the goldman speech and trying to figure out what she should say and how she should say it around the what to say about we crafted it that karen dunn and mandy grunwald took the pen and i did a lot of the initial sometime the two of them presented some ideas about the and then secretary clinton herself sat in the room and talked through it with us at some and then through redrafts we got at her core kellyanne campaign arrives at trump tower on evan more she practices what you know we understand that gonna matter is that moment where she confronts trump tweets for the first time since his apology has been an interesting i volunteered to go stake out trump i felt we needed to be we obviously were not and it was i we were all sort of in the all these reporters are hanging we get word from trump was just inside the and we would chase people who came in and jared was around despite ivanka did not but jared did show and he went in through a side door so we see christie was there at one reince was there at one rudy and kellyanne i was there and we all were waiting to would he drop what was going to at some point in the trump gives an interview to monica langley of the wall street journal the first of two newspaper interviews he does that trump tells langley there is he will quit the ever give trump support getting is because hillary clinton is a horribly flawed langley asks how his daughter ivanka and reacted to the was with ivanka with melania they fully and very as for he get they get sometime before trump calls robert costa at the washington reiterating his refusal to quit the been here tell in trump understand life and how you make it you go through been through called and always hurricane matthew makes its fourth and final landfall over the cape romain national wildlife refuge near myrtle as a category nearly deaths were blamed on the including in haiti and in the united where it caused more than billion in damage making it then the costliest in floodwaters in on after hurricane jonathan more to late saturday trump and his senior staff gather inside his residence on the floor of trump there were many of us in the room governor rudy kellyanne steve reince jared and ivanka would have been but during shabbat and they did not we sat around the in a circle and discussed different opportunities that presented what should we what could we have done how do we try to get past this to tomorrow with reince came into the meeting he was coming up from he had returned to washington friday and he came up on the train saturday reince was asked by are you hearing from other and of course officeholders were all saying what they some unendorsed some never endorsed some said they were going to write in mike but he was are you hearing from elected position was that things did not look that party leadership in the house and senate and republican and donors were very some jumping and he said trump had two he could lose the biggest electoral landslide in american history or he could drop out of the race and let somebody else be the i think reince was what they they think that you could lose and that drag them down with the rest of us were a little bit shocked by the quite candid and honest way he put the response was which if what the going to do to then they be running away from this is something that i will get through and it will not be a but more going to that was his going to trump went around the room and asked everyone for their do you what do you what do you gimme a you what am i gonna am am am i in this am i outta this everybody give me your you not gonna say what everybody but lots of people is a this is going to be an uphill a lot of this will depend on tomorrow debate i felt he should stay in the absentee ballots were already being filed in some pretty but he should stay in the race unless he felt that he was no longer equipped and willing to be the nominee for the republican my clinical analysis take a hit in the but they will always do what the left always and what secretary clinton always which is not come up with a sticky and positive message of her and gonna push the envelope too far on everybody will be talking about you need to go out and talk about everything i quite at but i was i we do these things correctly and the debate performance tomorrow night and if you come out of the debate performance tomorrow night alive and on an gonna win this steve bannon was the only one in the entire room who percent not even a question about in a recent interview with minutes bannon referred to as a billy bush saturday to me is a litmus a litmus a line i remember from the movie wild william holden uses it right before that huge gunfight at the you side with a you side with the good and the you can criticize him but when you side with you have to side with and what billy bush weekend showed billy bush saturday showed me who really had donald carly fiorina calls on trump to step aside for pence changes course from his reaction on friday night and issues a statement more critical of saying he defend his running mate a husband and a i was offended by the words and actions described by donald trump in the video released i do not condone his remarks and cannot defend i am grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized to the american we pray for his family and look forward to the opportunity he has to show what is in his heart when he goes before the nation tomorrow melania trump releases a words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to this does not represent the man that i he has the heart and mind of a i hope people will accept his as i and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the tic tac which trump in his discussion with billy bush on the releases a statement distancing the company from the republican tac respects all we find the recent statements and behavior completely inappropriate and in paul ryan kicks off his rally without trump or is a bit of an elephant in this ryan tells the a troubling it the house speaker is heckled by trump supporters throughout his house speaker paul ryan at the first congressional district republican party of wisconsin fall fest on mandel more trump later you to my great supporters in i heard that the crowd and enthusiasm was statements from gop leaders withdrawing their support for trump trickle in throughout the john republican senator from arizon behavior this concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his john republican governor of ohio trump is a man i cannot and should not the actions of the last day are but not why i reached this it has been an accumulation of his words and actions that many have been warning i will not vote for a nominee who has behaved in a manner that reflects so poorly on our our country deserves some of us reacted on friday night this is just going to be another one of those things where he says something that should be disqualifying but as horrific a statement as it we probably get our hopes up too high that this is going to kill his chances because survived other things he took on a gold star he took on a john but when those statements started rolling in from republicans it was all maybe this is only a month out from election and you have prominent republicans unendorsing at the same calls grow louder from other members of the party for trump to step aside in favor of rob republican senator from ohio i continue to respect those who still support donald i can no longer support i continue to believe our country cannot afford a hillary clinton i will be voting for mike pence for condoleezza former secretary of state donald trump should not be he should as a i hope to support someone who has the dignity and stature to run for the highest office in the greatest democracy on cory republican senator from colorado am committed to defeating hillary the only way this is now possible is with a new nominee that reflects the values of our country and our i will not vote for donald if donald trump wishes to defeat hillary he should do the only thing that will allow us to do so step and allow mike pence to be the republican john republican senator from south dakota trump should withdraw and mike pence should be our nominee effective there were times where we were concerned about just because you have to prepare for that moment in case that and all of a sudden running against mike and how are you gonna handle you the people who knew him had told us he might drop out if he thinks going to lose and want to be but not gonna drop out when got his back against a not gonna do this just gonna fight new york tabloid style and come after you i knew what that looked back inside trump trump is watching cable tv and growing angrier by the second upset at the number of republicans who are turning their back on his trump tweets media and establishment want me out of the race so badly i will never drop out of the will never let my supporters maga he was not going to abandon them just because a bunch of people who support him in the first place wanted to push him out of the he was never going to get out of that the scene outside trump tower has become a a mob scene of trump supporters and protesters who are the cable networks and other news organizations have reporters and photographers staked out at all public entrances to the hoping to keep track of the comings and because trump has no formal the designated protective poolers have been trying to keep track of rumors that trump might hold an impromptu rally in new york city that but most questions to the campaign are being met with radio with no notice to the trump suddenly appears in the lobby of his building with conway and donald trump and makes his way through the glass doors to greet supporters outside the ones who abandoned he walked out to this little impromptu rally supporting him going on right there were also i remember being it was the first time i had actually really felt not that anything was going to but there was a sort of a sense of danger in the air because he was so and i felt like he was capable of doing anything at that which was surrounded by heavy including secret service and the trump shakes gives high fives and basks in the glow of his most fervent he went out into the crowd of it was like his juan perón they touching his and he put his arm up in the air and did the power and then he went back and it was like watching somebody get some kind there was this sense of a reporter asks trump if he will remain in the hundred he it doubled his and it showed his commitment to the campaigning for hillary in bill clinton does not mention the trump tape in his remarks at a rally in but as hecklers a are escorted out of the clinton indirectly addresses the gotta feel sorry for he had a bad day give them a at some point on saturday breitbart publishes an interview with juanita who accused bill clinton of raping her in in the which the site claims was filmed at the watergate hotel on broaddrick is asked about remarks on the clinton raped and hillary clinton threatened i think any she at one she is comforted by another bill clinton kathleen it felt like this promotional effort that was going to have something more to it than just this breitbart the breitbart interview felt like it was setting the table for at trump bannon tells bossie of his to have trump arrive at debate with four women who had accused bill clinton of sexual misconduct and it was steve and it was a brilliant he called me into his office and told me what his idea and i just looked at him a combination of fear and all wrapped up in one because it could you know how gonna play you know how gonna a lot of moving parts and a lot of downside to but we were in a tough we had to be dramatic in our bannon and i had talked about this for months either having them at a debate or having them show up at a trump rally and be allowed to steve had read my book war on in steve had serialized the book at he knew a number of the victims of bill clinton were incredible and that if you let them they could be persuasive on their own so we talked about having them perhaps attend a rally and speak after trump or before trump or having them show up at the going to run an operation in louis with these four women who want to come forward and tell their stories for several to get people to get people to talk about bill not donald we want people in her camp to be distracted from allowing her that time in the two or three hours before the debate to have clarity and have a calm time before the biggest debate at that we felt that it was a move to get in her head and her donald trump greets supporters outside trump tower on spencer more for several steve had urged us to go out and try to you outside funding to do an independent effort to put these women up on tv and let them tell their that actually never came it was an but it never was it was far in my to have them speak under the aegis of the i think this would have happened but for the billy bush trump allies also insist it was clinton who inspired the sideshow weeks earlier by threatening to seat billionaire dallas mavericks owner and host mark who had been publicly feuding with trump for in the front row at the first presidential trump countered by saying he might invite gennifer bill former remember how this mark cuban tweets that gonna be attending the debate and sitting with the clinton then donald trump tweets that maybe bring gennifer they build it you be there to stick it in the eye of donald trump at the you so it would distract which i think is itself sort of cheap and only why is that the why you debate on the if you want to debate on the debate on the but that had where then i think somebody just have gennifer and everybody was freaking on saturday rumors spread about possible defections within the trump including speculation about the fate of kellyanne campaign manager and most prominent woman in his she is spotted at trump tower but has yet to offer public comments about the i felt no need to issue a formal and i think people wanted to hurt donald trump by having his female campaign manager and a they wanted me to be joan of arc and leave his campaign and really show that he was done and like very i had no doubt about sticking with not one doubt about sticking with and i made that very clear to him and his wife and his and my and governor and and and i always keep the specifics of conversations like that completely but i will tell i never once back in debate prep concludes for the i think we probably went till somewhere between and that night we broke been doing this for and always some answer you practice over and over again and you and people take one more stab at it on debate particularly around the defense of the goldman we were still trying to figure out exactly what to say about the public answer thing and the open borders i remember after she left that night a group of people trying to tweak those answers at wrigley field in the cubs defeat the san francisco in game of the national league division the chicago cubs celebrate after beating the san francisco giants at wrigley field on jonathan more sometime on saturday haberman receives phone calls from democratic strategists working with the clinton they were all of them said the exactly same you loving and i not loving this is what is there to love about and then they all went on to loving everything about it was what he had said was the tape was its existence was the fact that they were so excited by this was that they felt this was all just it was all just really late saturday night kfile publishes a story that in other news cycles might have been a trump to howard okay to call my daughter a of the investigative arm had unearthed old interviews trump had given to the shock from september stern asks trump if he can call ivanka piece of to which trump responds in the in from trump boasts about how allowed backstage at the miss america pageants when contestants are a go backstage and getting and everything and you no men are and allowed to go in because the owner of the pageant and therefore inspecting trump tells stern inspecting because i want to make sure that everything is you the everyone you standing there with no everybody and you see these and i sort of get away with things like night opens its episode with alec baldwin mocking apology was way back in baldwin was years ago back when i was just a somebody i know had talked to one of close and the guy kept is trying to kill everybody is trying to kill and then the adviser watch what happens debate the second presidential a event at washington university in is hours away there was a feeling like this was the pivot point in this and if we could go out there and have a good debate we might really solidify our not have the race be but be in a place where this lead could carry us that was more the emotional we were busy walking up this we had finally got a little distance on this and it was time to go do i think it was a pretty go get this kind of we felt hillary had the upper she was a better the town hall environment gave we an because she was generally better with people in that situation than he you his he was not good in town he was not very good with he still because a brute and a and he contain that aspect of his he had never debated against anyone in his entire and then going up against hillary arguably one of the best one of the most experienced debaters she had debated barack obama i this is somebody who knew the issues inside and steeped in and somebody with incredible on one and on the other you had who told it like it somebody who spoke from the somebody who could connect directly with the american people through his use of trump tweets support for some republican thank the sunday shows are consumed by the echoing the punditry on friday and some guests continue to question if trump can i remember by sunday the conversation really was turning in the press we trying to stoke it to the idea of getting him off the if we were trying to combat the narrative that he even we were putting campaign marc elias out there to remind people that there was a federal law that requires states to print out their ballots and send them to overseas voters days out before the it was too late to change the ballots to try to get another name out so even if they wanted to push him had already been sent and so we were like engaging in a little information campaign to try to prevent this idea that he could just be replaced from gaining steam lest it actually we want that to at that point he was being abandoned left and he just seemed like a sitting and so the idea of some hail mary effort to replace him seemed like the only thing that could screw it and so we were trying to prevent that from gaining reince priebus and kellyanne conway had been scheduled to appear on several of the sunday but on saturday they abruptly the only trump representative willing to former new york city mayor rudy on the giuliani says he does not anticipate that trump will bring up sexual assault allegations against bill clinton during the no one from the obama administration is asked to appear on the sunday shows to talk about the russia we get i get asked to go on talk shows about i think i got invited to go on almost every talk but i declined them i respectfully said i was not trump tweets a link to story about juanita after retweeting including women condemning those attacking his trump many watch their poll numbers and elections go i think we sort of forgot ourselves in the to hours after that i think that friday we were pretty skeptical that any one thing could really wreck him because we had seen him absorb so much but then i think we let ourselves convince ourselves that this might be given how his own party was reacting to fahrenthold appears on fox news to discuss the one of the anchors on her husband is a pitcher for the the baltimore you remember trump had this is all and she said to me after the cameras were been in the locker room his whole never heard anybody talk like the story turned to this conversation about that this is just just how guys correct the what trump did this is a guy who also bragged about walking in on the miss teenage america pageant because he was the owner and he could inspect the this is a pattern of the conversation we never really got quite was not and even if you in the locker not and this just in the locker this you out in the and he knew exactly what he was but we never quite got clinton boards her plane for she does not respond to a shouted question about whether trump should hillary clinton boards her campaign plane in white on to travel to louis for the second presidential andrew more sometime around who had been scheduled to leave for louis around boards his aircraft hours early leaving his traveling press pool conway tweets a photo from the trump plane of the candidate with jason giuliani and brad the digital media trump tweets a link to interview with paula jones and kathleen willey attacking hillary clinton as an back at the washington fahrenthold gets another phone call from someone who saw his appearance on fox i got a call from a guy in milwaukee who wants to talk about the you wanted to harangue and after a while i hung up on i then go later on that day he called the post we later learned he was and he slurred my name into the automated voicemail system so badly that it send him to my phone it sent him to another guy in sports whose name starts with so he leaves a death threat for me on that i think it was ever that the fbi actually interviewed him and he turned out to be drunk when he made the phone he mean anything by there was what i would describe as primal anger on the campaign trail in that i felt you we discussed it with the press because i know that the press whether you were covering trump or you were covering hillary felt like a you like something terrible is gonna you we were really not necessarily for the but really concerned that gonna get something violent is gonna things had just really reached a boiling conway tweets a photo of her and trump from the motorcade earlier in the giving photo credit to melania trump and ending questions about whether wife will be at his side at the louis obama speaks at a fundraiser in chicago for democratic senate candidate tammy duckworth before returning to he address the tape directly and mention trump by of the most disturbing things about this election is just the unbelievable rhetoric coming at the top of the republican obama need to repeat there are children in the but demeaning degrading but also people of other mocking the insulting our insulting our that tells you a couple it tells you that insecure enough that he pumps himself up by putting other people not a character trait that i would advise for somebody in the oval president barack obama waves to the crowd with tammy during an event in chicago on jim more just before landing in palmieri takes questions from reporters traveling on the clinton campaign know there is a lot of interest in what she is going to have to say about his comments from she will be ready to do palmieri palmieri is also asked if hillary clinton is prepared for potential is she understand that this is uncharted to face an opponent that is in the grips of a downward there was always a you knew that with this with nothing is gonna be out of so she would have to be prepared you whatever he may throw at and that was something that was just part of her we sensed that he was so he could be capable of we did not waste time practicing a more more circumspect i think we always practiced against the kind of trump we saw on the campaign jonathan a reporter for the associated is in the press pool following trump in we were told once we got there that the rest of the traveling press corps was going on to the debate which was a college in but about a dozen of we were told we were going to a secondary site before the you rarely see a candidate on debate day before the so we thought it was odd we would have an event we simply thought what we were going to see was a few advisers going a quick photo we were told be in the room for about that we would just see him talking to a couple of and then be whisked be all loaded in the and we would travel to the that is not what at the four seasons hotel in the trump team is busy plotting its plan for the candidate to unveil bill accusers the press has been on us to allow them into our debate prep for weeks been you just give us a photo at about jason miller put out the word to the press that gonna get access to the last debate prep which whipped the media into a they were reporting that they were going to get to i the way it reporters are ushered into a room where trump is seated at a table with kathleen juanita and paula jones who had accused bill clinton of sexual misconduct as well as kathy shelton a rape victim from hillary clinton had been her defense so they led us down the they opened the the first thing i noticed was the room was far more crowded than i and that there were advisers lining both sides of the and i saw that trump was not standing at a podium like think he would perhaps rehearsing for the rather sitting flanked by four kellyanne stephen rudy giuliani and ben and candy carson are also in the back of the steve bannon and jared who have become unlikely campaign wear big grins as the press corps files the pool of when they walked in the none of them knew who these women it took a i was watching their these were all young they nothing against but they my mouth dropped as i was taking in the other members of the press pool had similar there was a photographer with us who had been a war correspondent for a he had been in he had been in this is someone who had seen some he literally like an audible as we walked into the room and realized what we had walked it was a wild trump tweets to supporters to join him for his final and soon cable tv networks are taking the shaky mobile video i was outside talking to and one of the producers getting this weird feed and it appears that donald trump is having some kind of facebook live press you with paula jones and i walked over to the hospitality tent to further mingle with some of the reporters who were covering the and magazine zeke who treats his phone as an appendage and is constantly monitoring email and twitter even as carrying on a conversation in real he pulled it up on his he make out who the people so i took a look and i could immediately tell who it trump sits from kathleen juanita kathy shelton and paula jones on before the second presidential evan more you very much for and these four very courageous women have asked to be here and it was our honor to help and i think each going to make just an individual short statement and then we will do a little meeting and then see you at the start with here to support trump because going to make america great and i think everybody else should vote for and i think they should all look at the fact that a good not what other people have been saying like so think about also here to support at years hillary put me through something never put a and she says for women and and she was asked last year on what happened and she says whether they did it or and now laughing on tape saying she knows they did went through a i juanita and here to support donald tweeted and trump retweeted that actions speak louder than trump may have said some bad but bill clinton raped me and hillary clinton threatened i think any he threw the kitchen sink at he did conceivably the worst possible thing he could do in a public sit down with women who had accused hillary husband of some pretty awful jennifer clinton campaign communications yahoo news more i did not think that donald trump could stoop any lower than he already had in this and i was surprised to be proven trump ignores multiple questions about why his star power allows him to touch women without their how many women he may have touched without their and trump but at the end paula jones yells to you all go ask bill clinton go ahead and ask hillary as we know how bill clinton treated those but the point there is really how hillary who was supposed to be seen as who was trying to really milk this tape as showing donald trump as being against it was a reminder that hillary clinton had treated women very poorly in the and that included the women in that while hillary clinton has been accused of threatening or shaming her accusers in the there is little if any evidence she actually politifact rates claim that she bill accusers as mostly false not that it mattered to team i remember there was definitely a sense of excitement in there that they pulled this the trump campaign was sort of a leaky things got out ahead of but this was a complete and it was at that time someone sent me a picture that they had taken off of the live stream of the and me in that moment when i walked in the room and realized what was going my mouth was i was at what i was looking and right behind me was steve bannon with a little smile on his i was he was we left the room and went back upstairs to and the media covered it for the next two it was it was it was the it was truly a reality tv episode that the american just by ratings of reality tv loved to and for two hours leading up to the instead of talking about donald talking about bill and hillary relationship with women of their we thought it was an obvious this was clearly the trump effort to turn the to change the conversation in some doubling down on the idea of sexual but trying to cast the light on the other there was sort of a debate about what press conference with the clinton accusers and i thought it meant he was getting it out of his system because he have the balls to do it to her but the trump campaign top aides tell reporters they plan to seat the clinton accusers in the family box not far from where bill clinton will be seated with his so that he will have to face four family seats for each of the kind of on a if you or a on a and right in the line of sight of the frank of the commission on presidential it was agreed by both the clinton and the trump that there would only be family members in the that was their and that was fine with the what our understanding it was a family about that one of my people got a call from the clinton campaign and asked whether or not claire the united states senator from could sit in the clinton box because there are really only three there was president chelsea and her and there was a fourth so one of my people called the trump campaign and they we made a only family members in those so senator mccaskill we went back to the clinton and there was no because they was the they make a fuss about we what the deal i tell our lead advance person on the ground to notify the debate commission that going to use those four seats for these four that gonna put them instead of melania and some of the that clearly was a violation of what both campaigns had agreed to with the commission and what our position and the trump people had enforced that rule against the clintons that only to which our response you gonna put those four people in those four tell to which our advance guys you a little nervous because a big this is not a small million people watching this a big making any change is a big but we the clinton campaign to have to deal because if we push the debate commission may never tell the clinton campaign so i went to the representatives of the debate commission and we all had to provide names of people sitting in the friends and family vip and these these were not on their so i understand and they were of course they are not on the list and so they sit in that so i guys are really going to enforce because security had to clear the and they were if they try to bring them into the friends and family we allow it to but we kind of knew he was he was the nominee and he was going to get them in the hall who had previously told reporters she had advised trump against bringing up bill sex tweets at hillary clinton asking if she would acknowledge jones et tagging it neither entourage had arrived at the debate they were on their way with the cars and so so i went over to the a holding room where the trump people and i knocked on the and i asked to see rick ahearn and don who is now white house as you and i you do and they kinda looked at me with a blank they i put the women in the you agreed to that this and it was clear to me that they know a thing about who is about to go onstage to address the audience before the then huddles with an i when they get you can say you talked to me and i said if you try to put those women in the family i will have security stop and you want the publicity that might come from something like so tell them not to do is i have security at security is the secret and i have time to run and find a secret service agent and this may gotta stop i was out there just time for me to do but the commission does not have our own private security we work very closely with the secret the ones who are so i know what i would have to tell you the a stir goes through the audience as the women who appeared alongside trump as accusers of bill clinton are ushered into the auditorium to sit at the front row of the audience cameras are giuliani escorts shelton and willey into the debate just as i was finishing my i happened to look back and i could see rudy giuliani leading these three women across the ken town hall there was an audible gasp on the everybody up on the whether they were leaning trump or leaning thought that that was just a tasteless been accused of being insensitive with women or inappropriately conducting myself around women so did your most of us were adults up on the you professionals who thought that bad behavior excuse bad just because susie pushed you on the playground mean you get to dip her pigtails in the inkwell and call it what kind of stunt are they going to are they going to go and try to take a selfie with president i was afraid about i was concerned about dick who is attending the i look and here comes walking across this open leading these women behind he led them in like an and i can this be and sure they walked up the stairs and sat accusers take their seats in the front row directly in front of durbin and cheri no they were allowed to sit and it was only then that i realized that we had avoided something that i think would have really destroyed the debate and the dignity and the integrity of the someone leaned over and are the the clinton i leaned over to my wife and to congresswoman and i can assume that we are on camera now and will be for the entire and we so i you every expression on your face is going to be picked up by the and i sat there like the great stone saying not going to not going to i want to be part of the setup for whatever this picture fahrenkopf sits a row behind and he leaned over to me and he know sitting in front of i i and he trump campaign wanted them to be sitting onstage in the family box of the trump and we said we going to let that turned them so they wanted seats here in the dick durbin sits behind to paula kathleen willey and juanita broaddrick at the presidential debate at washington university in louis on scott more we just were go in these four and still have the same paula jones joins the group of accusers a few minutes also seated with tiffany trump who sit with the rest of the trump family because of melania trump arrives at the debate wearing shirt a trump campaign spokeswoman later insists her fashion choice was a little before the clinton and trump families are escorted into the debate bill clinton who has been briefed about unexpected presser before his stands and hands with melania he also shakes hands with children eric and don after the first don had told reporters he was proud of his father for refraining from bringing up sex bill clinton does not appear to look at his accusers chelsea clinton walks into the debate hall a few minutes later avoiding handshakes with the trump we wanted to push hard enough to as part of the effort to get inside of their heads to help distract to run an so we if you saw the look on bill it had the desired he was very visibly very chelsea and bill clinton at the second presidential jim via more this is just like a you try to get inside the head of your trying to psych your opponent roger stone had been pushing a lot of this for a long but bringing them to the debate and shoving them in her face like that was so beyond any norm that we had ever there were a lot of things that happened on this campaign like things our brain process immediately because we have never seen that happen this was one of those they had probably gotten in a little bit of a tizzy over that was kinda the know what the trump campaign was hoping to accomplish other than the clinton later writes in her campaign up old allegations that had been litigated years divert attention from the access hollywood throw me off my and distract voters from the unbelievably high he trying to make a stand for these he was just using she you as we were prepping before sunday that this was a and i think at first her reaction really he would gonna do and we had to you get her to believe as many of us at first thought they do but they and we had in in the prep and our prep sessions were kind of not as smooth as we would have because i think the tape and having to adjust for this was the setting was we had to navigate hillary clinton huddles with top aides one final i went to talk to her before she went out and so i walked into that i so this move was designed to do one thing and one thing throw you off your got i the great thing is it do and it she do just do we were finishing up our little pregame ritual before sending her off on the i turn to her and dial it just trying to get in your she turned to me and smiled and that gave me a sense of confidence that she was not rattled by hillary clinton and donald trump meet on the debate trump stands next to clinton during the second presidential julio more body hillary clinton and donald trump face off for their second fiery debate epilogue was the most tense room ever been in for the first of a anderson who the event with martha recalled on the air who was asked by cooper to address his comments on the immediately pivoted to his vow to the hell out of we have a world where you have isis chopping off where you have drowning people in steel where you have wars and horrible sights all over and you have so many bad things this is like medieval we seen anything like the carnage all over the world and they look and they can you imagine the people that are frankly doing so well against us with and they look at our country and see going i am very embarrassed by it and i hate but talk and one of those anxious clinton staffers were watching on a waiting for her to address the tape and to confront spent a lot of time thinking over the last hours about what we heard and clinton said with prior republican nominees for i disagreed with them on but i never questioned their fitness to donald trump is i said starting back in june that he was not fit to be president and commander in and many republicans and independents have said the same what we all saw and heard on friday was donald talking about what he thinks about what he does to and he has said that the video represent who he but i think clear to anyone who heard it that it represents exactly who he were to people in the and usually but when she gave that answer it was just klain could feel the emotional impact of very but trump as the world would soon interested in when clinton said good someone with temperament was in charge of the law in our he responded with a you would be in was back on his solid ground of locking her klain was a reminder to his core supporters about the essence of his it was also a window into how he would deal with the constant swirl of scandals within his white after a dizzying when at times trump seemed on the verge of he steadied himself by reverting to a but familiar think that weekend really is what set us on the course haberman trump shakes hands with clinton following the second presidential patrick more pressure was on him not to benenson he so he was in it and saved his candidacy that for the storm that arrived exactly a month before the election had and the rulebook for american at least for one we know are those rules only for donald trump because of his status as a media figure and they work for a mortal stone have the rules changed permanently for we know until the next presidential contributors this oral history was

suffering the condescension of financial and political trump enjoys turning the after recruiting tillerson from his captaincy in corporate trump promptly vetoed his choice for a deputy at the state

toured the wreckage of hurricane which seemed to undercut entire argument about obama being a divisive and incompetent in it was pretty weak to blame given the litany of not to mention the fact that christie had a decimated state to govern and have been thinking about electoral votes at that moment but if the field of republican hopefuls not named donald trump remains overcrowded and hopelessly muddled after this and if trump himself cruises to another victory in south carolina and ends up winning the a lot of those same republican leaders may look back and conclude that it was christie who cost them a victory yet and this they may actually be of departed from the race last with uncharacteristic after finishing a disappointing sixth in the new hampshire primary he go in his final three days before the the former prosecutor gave us the most memorable moment so gleefully taunting marco rubio as the florida senator tried in vain to repeat his scripted talking you like attacks on his and as anyone could see in that he much like rubio is politically malleable and beloved for his inspiring story all things for which christie has a healthy dose of if not perhaps a hint of all you that was all very but now christie is out and rubio looks to be at least somewhat so it was really just a bump in the except that one bump in the placed at a crucial can cause a major to understand why that exchange between christie and rubio may reverberate for years to you have to understand the underlying dynamic of this republican support over the last several minus a few peaks and has basically hovered around or just over the percent mark in the early primary a sizable plurality of the and proved to be surprisingly but it hardly makes him as dominant a figure in the party as his media coverage would the problem for the governing wing of the party is when you add to plurality the support for ted cruz and ben more than half of this electorate seems to be chiefly looking for a candidate who will blow up the status and the rest of the republican vote has been almost equally divided among an unusually populous group of eminently electable governing my thinking several months as written before was that before the campaign got to the the more traditional electorate and its leadership would have congealed around one or possibly two causing poll numbers to tighten considerably and making trump look like far less of an imposing congealing is what establishments are good pretty much what they exist to for better or exactly what was about to happen the week before the new hampshire after a shaky few rubio had exceeded expectations by finishing just a point behind trump in he arrived in new hampshire with a gale force gust at his drawing something like people and half the national media to a tiny theater in where i watched him ignite the crowd with a mix of partisan fire and unscripted though untested and sometimes rubio is the closest thing the fractured party has to a consensus candidate maybe among the and at that point his campaign had taken on real driving around new hampshire in those first few days after i expected rubio would surge solidly into second and i discount the possibility that he could end up surpassing had that my guess is you would have seen the donors and elected leadership close ranks pretty there would have been enormous pressure on jeb bush and john kasich to follow christie out the the south carolina devised in the to give the new establishment of southern and western republicans a firewall against would have been reduced essentially to a but then christie came to his final debate looking to inflict the same kind of damage and within a few minutes rubio was basically in the fetal position at center begging for a commercial the clip went for a few rubio dropped faster than the tower of terror at he finished just behind his old that brief window for congealing around a candidate quickly and instead of showcasing a winnowed south carolina looks just as jumbled as new four years ago south carolina was a race between the establishment and three insurgent candidates newt rick santorum and ron paul who were all vying to emerge as the ultimately but not by enough to derail this year looks almost like a reverse now trump with a commanding lead and cruz consolidating evangelical while three governing candidates kasich and bush battle to outlast one the popular nikki endorsed rubio this which is a major seal of approval for him after the former george worked her over for but haley is only the third of republican governors to swing behind one of the current rather than having rallied around a clear favorite after new one of the most powerful blocs in the party remains perilously detached from the apparently afraid to end up on the wrong side of the trump unless one of the governing candidates surges late and finishes well above the others i be shocked to see rubio do just chances are that the entire field will move on to the states holding contests on march while a helpless establishment looks and by the time those states quite possible that nomination will have come to seem palatable or even inevitable to the majority of republican a long way to go before but if trump wakes up march and finds himself planning for what once seemed an unlikely he should probably start thinking about

mexican the and complete of muslims entering the united the coming out megyn perhaps the most peculiar aspect of trump as a politician in some the most powerful what he but how he says over the america has produced its fair share of and certain politicians have always said offensive but when trump he sound like any other presidential candidate in not just his pungent queens accent not just his sentences the novel the the repetitive the eccentric is a story that seems to be more and more trump said of the march bombing in just to sum i would do various things very he said near the end of his presidential announcement know he said in south carolina late last have the best at trump seems to be speaking a different language than the rest of the political trumpese may be derived from american yet it appear to obey the same set of which is not to say that it obey any rules at this trump has become such a fixture on tv that easy to take his speech for his barbaric yawp is the soundtrack of for better or but i took a step back and tried to listen with fresh ears to search for the tics and traits that define way of talking and make every word he utters seem so distinctively i discovered two there is definitely a pattern to and whether deliberate or not and reason to think it may be more deliberate than it seems the style of speaking has developed into a remarkably effective delivery mechanism for his no matter how much the media may like to mock it trumpese is helping trump more than hurting the first thing to note is that whenever trump really trump he employ he rarely relies on he barely even uses as david von drehle recently reported in time magazine trump basically his more work than reading a trump but doing so allows him to give and take with the to lose himself in the orchestrating emotions like a von drehle as a linguistic quirks come through loud and clear if paying digression perhaps the most marked characteristic of trumpese is the way its sole speaker is always veering off on tangents to provide color commentary on his own to amend or even contradict his previous to assure his audience that he the country or ethnic group he just or vice to say whatever happens to pop into his head at any given even his parentheticals have speech is a constant stream of asides and the says jeff a former speechwriter in the clinton white house who founded west wing writers in the context of a presidential this is not only an anomaly stylistically but in just as he feels absolutely no obligation to finish a thought or complete a he also feels no obligation to actually tell you what going to do in terms of the examples are one of the things with with our japanese and a big fan of by the he said during a recent foreign policy interview with the new york times have many friends i do business with if we are they have to do there are two donald the mogul confessed after ben carson said the somebody who is a a big seconds trump abruptly reversed think two donald he think one donald continue reading and a particularly digressive passage from july speech in sun having nuclear my uncle was a great professor and scientist and john trump at good very good very the wharton school of very very smart you if a conservative if i were a if i ran as a liberal they would say one of the smartest people anywhere in the world but when a conservative republican they try do they do a number why i always start went to was a good went went did built a fortune you i have to give credentials all the time because a little disadvantaged but you look at the nuclear the thing that really bothers me it would have been so and not as important as these lives are is my uncle explained that to me many years the power and that was years he would explain the power of going to happen and he was right who would have but when you look at going on with the four prisoners now it used to be now four but when it was three and even i would have said all in the and it is fellas you they they figured that the women are smarter right now than the you gonna take them about another years but the persians are great the iranians are great and they just they just killed repetition all politicians repeat stump speeches vary little from stop to talking points are trotted out at every marco rubio famously recited his line about this notion that barack obama know what four times at the new hampshire debate in but trump repeats himself in a different he repeats phrases one after the other often in the same sentence not as deliberate parallelism but as a compulsive almost as if he bear to stop even for a he repeats what he just said until he figures out what to say every example of his rhetoric that looked at has this repetitive to a degree that is strikingly different from other politicians of this says mark liberman a linguist at the university of for his march conversation with the new york times people in countries that you think are our allies are giving isis tremendous amounts of and going through very dark banking and we should have stopped those banking channels long ago and i think done nothing to stop and that money is a massive amount of so not only from from also the the through and very sophisticated they call them the dark very sophisticated or his interview with have a president that even use the term and use the term islamic he want to use the hillary the want to use the term the other day in the debate which was a ridiculous and terrible a joke but she want to use the she refused to use all three of them refused to use the term islamic they they just say they absolutely say or an interview with the on have many women at high you know gotten a lot of credit for i i have so many women working for me and so many women in high positions working for me and gotten great credit for intensifiers trump has never been prone to and much of his campaign chatter like pretty much everything else said throughout his career consists of superlatives as part of a boast or an will be the greatest jobs president that god ever clinton was the worst secretary of state in the history of the united would use the greatest i know the best in everything is either or there is no in but addiction to hyperbole goes deeper than it also permeates the little words he uses to modify his adjectives and in a grammatical expletive that increases the emotional content of an expression is known as an is the basic others include and trump is obsessed with have to be very vigilant as to who you have and where coming the assimilation is very will do very very is so much wealth out there that can make our country so rich and therefore make it great i become do they have going to have such the terrorists are totally winning informality presidential language has grown increasingly colloquial in recent but trump is in a class of his not just his public use of the s word the f word the a word and the p word a phenomenon that has been much discussed nor is it his reliance on the word to describe politicians and world leaders a term he used times in a single week last according to the new york times or his penchant for calling everyone and everything informality extends beyond vulgarity and his speech is peppered with more idiomatic expressions than any candidate in recent and the slang he prefers tends toward the big league is his favorite as is taking over and taking it over big or a big in but also been known to dismiss some things as and insist that other things are going the spent a lot of money on making it just perfecto and now doing trump said in february about his investment in an irish golf course i care about that stuff it is like small also worth trump is the only white house hopeful who regularly replaces the verb with a hallmark of american street we got to make the country he said in his june announcement got trillion in we got nothing but we got a military that needs equipment all over the we got nuclear weapons that are punch lines when republican speechwriter barton swaim examined sentences in one structural anomaly stood work the way modern political rhetoric swaim work the way punchlines short very with the most important words at the most politicians are habitually careful when they speak in with rhetoric that tends toward abstraction and sentences full of subordinate clauses and qualifying trump speaks more like a making sure to go out with a in he often rearranges the beginning of his sentences awkwardly so he can end to demonstrate how this youtuber evan puschak recently dissected a answer that trump gave to jimmy kimmel when kimmel asked about muslim nearly all of sentences terminated with a punchy word that contributed to his overall and instead of solve a problem until you find out what the root cause the natural way to structure that sentence trump brought the forward to end on solve a problem until you find out the root he did the same thing a few seconds later as want to find he is the trump is so fond of this technique that even when his sentences end with punch he simply follows them with a or declaratory judgment both in real life and on one of his favorite codas is of the republican party has taken in millions of new a trump once tweeted they are not they will all the list of linguistic eccentricities goes he often speaks in the imperative mood instructing his listeners to at something at what happened in look at what happened last week in or commanding them to him or lieu of trying to convince them that what saying in will build a great wall on our southern trump said in his announcement i will have mexico pay for that mark my what politicians all no he told aipac earlier this month many candidates foster a feeling of collective action by referring to themselves and their campaigns or themselves and their supporters in the that was the logic behind barack famous we prefers the second implicating his listeners in what saying as if already want sharia he said last referring to the brussels you you say to at what how much of this do you after weeks of close convinced that trumpese has its own skewed structural but what do speech patterns add up what effect are they having on and how big a part are they playing in his political as someone who writes for a tempted to dismiss as offensive and ignorant even ugly any speaking style that flouts the laws of language as flagrantly as but trumpese is clearly working for its creator least among the percent of republican primary voters who support it just perfectly calibrated and calibrated may not be too strong a word to serve political when trump signaling that he is unscripted and therefore when he remarks upon his own he is emphasizing his outsider status by putting distance between himself and the usual rituals of political campaigning delivering a linear begging big donors for money and so when he deploys he is showing how different he is how much more down to earth he is than your typical when he deploys vintage he is identifying himself with an earlier era an era in which was when he revises or even contradicts himself in real he is showing that he is confident enough to think out when he speaks in the imperative he seems when he speaks in the second he implies that you and he already no matter how outrageous the looseness of language just reinforces that a kind of perverse integrity to the former might not like but he is who he is and happy to tell you about beyond being nothing he these are the tics of a when trump uses he is amplifying the emotional essence of his he is underscoring the fact that he is selling a feeling than a policy when he he is shining a spotlight on the only product that donald and when he repeats himself or ends his sentences with punch he is making sure that digitally voters get the much like a human version of those radio ads for mattresses that repeat the same number nine he is also giving listeners the as linguist liberman puts confident and in control of knowledge and ideas and never uses like or and rarely has silent pauses of greater than minimal liberman speculate that at some point many years he decided that and and dead air were bad he began practicing to avoid and he found that repeating or paraphrasing chunks was a useful supposition raises an interesting has trump decided to speak in this strange but advantageous or did trumpese merely develop over time as the organic language of a man driven to sell himself to the at first i leaned toward the but then i was struck by ritualistic response to the fracas earlier this year over former ku klux klan leader david when duke first voiced his support for the latter pretended never heard of the but then the press pounced and trump was forced to in he kept repeating a curious he said it at press he said it on he said it on he said it on morning and every the wording was the subject verb and a conspicuous blank space where the object of his disavowal should have trump never made reference to who or what he was nor did he ever phrase his condemnation a different think this was a kevin drum wrote at the trump is in the he has disavowed david but there is no sound bite or video snippet that shows him clearly criticizing either duke or the kkk or white supremacist groups in all of them potential intentional or one thing is this guy trump is maybe not the same you barack obama but a good a very good the voters they love the way he love i something is going on with you look at the way he talks and you say

in the heimbach is planting the seeds of his movement along the back roads of the rural in the small cities that have been left behind by deindustrialization and devastated by unlike many of his comrades on the who generally prefer to advocate for white nationalism from behind the protective shields of computer screens and fake heimbach understands the value of media his ability to articulate even his most abhorrent and offensive views in a disarmingly way has attracted the attention of the national media and drawn warnings from groups like the league and the southern poverty law the huffington post among named him as one of the key figures behind the inscrutable movement of racists supporting president and someone whose larger political ambitions should not go during the presidential heimbach was caught on video shoving a black woman at a campaign rally for trump in similar stories surfaced a couple of months after a rally held by members of the twp and their affiliates the golden state skinheads erupted in leaving people though heimbach at the national news outlets such as nbc news seized the opportunity to spotlight white nationalist behind violent california broadcasting own claim that is not but is merely calling for america to pay more attention to poor and a stabbing victim is attended to during a rally in june renee bee via zuma more as head of a white nationalist political party that is aligned with other and separatist heimbach has shown a remarkable ability to win media attention for his program of organizing youth to bring about his dream of a white ethnostate in the heart of the united taking notice of his ambitions is one the question i sought to answer is how seriously to take next david sounds scary until you realize that own political career peaked when he won a special election to the louisiana state house of representatives in among the most glaring problems plaguing this population and perhaps the ripest for exploitation is the deadly opioid our people it matter if we have a heritage if they have a heimbach describing a plan to attract broader support by tackling the opioid crisis at both the corporate and the personal calling for criminal charges against businesses that distribute oxycontin and similar and by helping individual of the things we want to be able to do is to get people who have suffered from we will not be silent as our people suffer and as our people part of an ambitious program of job prison outreach and environmental activism that he describes in sweeping a catalogue of social improvements he wants to bring to the downtrodden members of the working class at least the white ones to enlist them in his grand scheme of building a new nation founded on white i spent several months last year pursuing trying to learn more about his program for community outreach and see it in but it turned out to be far easier to get him to talk about plans than to actually demonstrate heimbach is hoping to translate the online fervor that has fueled the recent rise in white nationalism into a political but i never met more than followers at one and with each meeting that was moved or i became more and more convinced that their activities amounted to little more than political a gamer term frequently used by heimbach that stands for heimbach repeatedly insisted that be happy to introduce me to members of the indiana chapter been struggling with opioid or let me tag along on a like the one he said the group had recently conducted in the poorest town to assess local needs for a winter coat and opportunities to actually witness the outreach seemed to keep getting postponed or sidelined as heimbach crisscrossed the country by car in pursuit of more public matthew head of the traditionalist worker michael reaves for the washington post via getty more one early attempt to observe their outreach back in september fell through when heimbach instead offered an on his upcoming meeting with the leader of the russian imperialist movement in after i explained that my priority was to cover the grassroots organizing heimbach told me about the plans for a week of organizing in tennessee during the first week of november in honor of the anniversary of the bolshevik politics easy to fit into the usual he is a revolutionary and a socialist in the national socialist nazi i could come a day or two early to meet with some of the regional heimbach told tag along as they went door to door and talk to some local residents of the communities they were hoping to he promised to inform me as soon as an exact date and location had been and that was the last i heard about any activity in tennessee until i came across a tweet from the account in late october promoting two white lives matter rallies in the towns of shelbyville and murfreesboro that coming weekend the rallies were being held by several white nationalist including the traditionalist worker was this part of the week of organizing he had i asked he doing a sustained investment in the if there were any plans for community engagement beyond those they were either abandoned or kept under after hours of standing in the cold while police waved each individual rallygoer through a metal detector at the event in shelbyville where the standard white nationalist fodder was barely audible over speakers blaring martin luther king have a speech from the counterprotesters across the street i drove or so miles to murfreesboro to find that no one from the twp nor any of the other groups in attendance had even bothered to show up at the second heimbach was back on the road the following heading home to indiana before flying off to europe to speak to a nationalist group in the czech heimbach takes an expansive view of his place on the world established ties to nationalist groups from other like the russian imperial the czech and nationalist party golden in he was personally banned from entering the united kingdom for promoting and segregationist he seems eager to attend any and all events that promote his from the annual stormfront summit in to a meeting of the aryan terror a racist skinhead to picketing outside the house alongside richard in heimbach teamed up with jeff commander of the national socialist to form the nationalist a coalition of white nationalist members of the alliance organized rallies in and last and attended the unite the right rally in other prominent member organizations include the segregationist league of the south and vanguard the white supremacist and group with which james alex fields was seen marching in charlottesville before he was arrested on murder charges for allegedly driving into a crowd of killing one and injuring dozens of vanguard america has denied any affiliation with heimbach told me been trying to get in touch with who is currently being held in albemarle county along with a handful of other young men described by heimbach as or been arrested on assault charges stemming from the violent clashes at the though heimbach said he know fields he wants to contact him to him know not white nationalist leader matthew heimbach screams at the media in defense of james alex fields outside of fields bail hearing on charges of suspicion of malicious wounding and charges ensuing from fields arrest after a car hit counter protesters at the the rally in august justin more related violent clashes erupt at the rally in heimbach sees himself as standing in a long tradition of revolutionary citing as influences international groups like the irish republican army and the militant islamist group that gained political power in lebanon through providing social as well as figures from american history such as huey the populist louisiana politician who rose to national prominence during the great depression by appealing to poor and working and father charles the of the who presaged talk originally an advocate for social coughlin later turned his broadcasts into a forum for attacking communists and wall are an independence heimbach believe that is an illegitimate empire that we want to be a part so got an official party position much like the irish of we will run people for federal but we would not take our seats if we were to because legitimizing the power structure keeping us in though the trip to tennessee had turned out to be a heimbach continued to maintain that he was eager to let me see the outreach activities for and so i continued to press until finally after returning from yet another jaunt to to join richard mike and other white nationalists in front of the white house to protest the kate steinle verdict he invited me to the southern indiana town where heimbach lives on a compound of sorts with his wife and two young his and twp matt parrott and a few other i should come to paoli on heimbach so i could meet who would give me a look at the community organizing operation in southern including job training and addiction and introduce me to some of the people actually benefited from these from the plan was to drive east to some location in where heimbach would be joined by several party members from the including the ohio state for a retreat that would among other a training session on followed by and a night of camping weather while i was more than welcome to observe these there were a few activities on the such as tactical training and a discussion of the to which i was expressly not heimbach assured me that he had already lined up plenty of party members who would share with me their stories about how the twp helped them learn a find a job or overcome just a day or two before i embarked on the journey to paoli which is about miles from the closest major in louisville heimbach warned that the weekend retreat may be cut short so that he and his comrades could drive to chicago that sunday for a in daley plaza to protest a plea deal prosecutors had recently made with brittany one of four youths arrested last year on hate crime and kidnapping charges stemming from a disturbing facebook live video of the group abusing a mentally disabled white teen whom apparently been holding booking tesfaye cooper brittany covington and tanishia covington and jordan the four were charged with aggravated kidnapping and taking part in a hate crime after allegedly beating and taunting a white mentally disabled the incident was captured by a cellphone camera and shown live on police department via ap more the youngest and first of the four to be released from jail after nearly a covington was sentenced to four years of during which she is also barred from using social media an insufficient punishment clearly motivated by in nevertheless i set out for and the weekend began like every other encounter had with heimbach since i first interviewed him at towson university in at a restaurant of his choosing the location provided to me mere moments before we were slated to meet where heimbach arrived flanked by an entourage dressed all in with his pudgy bearded face until glasses that were held together with adhesive heimbach seems like an unlikely leader of a racist movement on dismantling the united but there is a darkness that belies his corny and despite his polite demeanor and a slight southern accent that was most likely not acquired during his childhood in the suburb of he has a tendency to the son of public school teachers whom he describes as mitt views on race and immigration were largely shaped by the nativist writings of pat the ideologue and founder of the american conservative magazine by the time he entered interest in brand of paleoconservativism had led him to embrace other nationalist such as jared taylor has long used his own american to promote widely debunked beliefs about the biological differences between racial and ethnic met his wife at an american renaissance for his alternative outlook on world specifically germany and the details of world war heimbach draws heavily from the work of prominent holocaust deniers like david irving and ernst zündel in the handful of times sat down with heimbach over the past five he has never once arrived heimbach may refer to those around him as and members of his but before he even sits down at the table with the others positioning themselves almost strategically around him the hierarchy is heimbach rarely makes an effort to introduce and just some of the men seem comfortable introducing the only one i recognize is from a previous meeting in then he was with a blank expression that signaled either boredom or an attempt to look this he was hand in hand with a young woman and decidedly more true to heimbach led the table in prayer over chips and queso before proceeding to hold consuming at least one worth of free coffee refills while talking breathlessly about the scourge of multiculturalism and the impending demise of the american for the most acolytes were except to laugh at his jokes or to chime in occasionally when the conversation turned to something all clearly passionate such as world war ii and the of the attempting to keep the conversation on current i asked about a tweet that had been posted the week before from the account has since been about republican roy loss to doug jones in the alabama senate it had an elaborate undercover campaign throughout the entire just as we did with we fell but our members did an incredible heimbach speaking at a white nationalist rally in last scott more related white nationalists and stage lives rallies in tennessee what was the undercover i media loves sensational he making no apparent reference to you tell a reporter people are coming out for a print you really need to get people to turn out for the it was around this time i realized that notably absent was matthew based on the itinerary heimbach had previously was the main reason for traveling to paoli in the first and as heimbach made himself welcoming the offer for yet another coffee it became increasingly clear that there was no real intention of meeting up that night with or anyone else for that i questioned heimbach about the plan for the following and he told me they had booked a room at the public library in near from to where they would be discussing things like the twp jobs program and cryptocurrency education money is so heimbach he told me later that the group was forced to move its fundraising to cryptocurrency because their credit card processing abilities were shut down after the charlottesville the group would also engage in an ideological conversation during heimbach reminded i would be excused but later given the opportunity to speak with people benefited from the outreach the day was to culminate with a book burning on the property of someone heimbach is uncomfortable with media what about the and community i do that heimbach vandalia is about a drive from meaning we would need to be on the road by but when my alarm went off at already been a change of venue was just was made read the message heimbach had sent me at via an encrypted messaging service been using exclusively to communicate with heimbach uses the sort of language one might associate with a movie or video game character whose been tasked with a but sadly this comes with the he after explaining that the gathering was now being moved to backup venue south of at it was the first in a series of cryptic messages and redirections i would receive from heimbach and others throughout the ensuing the second came more than three hours after i requested an address for the new on that he approximately minutes later he sent another will have an answer at followed by a phone number with an ohio area i had yet to meet or talk to anyone named tony from the traditionalist worker but wondered if heimbach was referring to tony the subject of a recent controversial new york times profile many critics read like a lighthearted attempt to normalize a of the twp according to the times lives in new was in fact the same tony been instructed to although i only learned that several hours when we finally met face to for he was just a monotonous voice on the phone telling me to stand by for an as he too was waiting to hear back from someone else he was the new matthew heimbach with members of his traditionalist worker caitlin more at i received a text message from tony notifying me that the new plan was to rendezvous at in the parking lot of a from he going to follow a guy to a i made my way toward pulled into the crowded walmart parking lot at about minutes to and checked my phone to find yet another message from tony asking if be ok waiting another have a couple of people running including he heimbach finally surfaced shortly after accompanied by an entirely different entourage than the one been with the previous night including whom i immediately recognized from his photos in the new york although now he was wearing a black jacket with the twp a pitchfork inside a cog on his once heimbach did not bother to introduce anyone the only woman in the group wore a hoodie under her bomber jacket and a floral scarf over her exposing only her forehead and she did not are the folks that were willing to be on heimbach first suggesting that the official the one that was supposed to include outreach training and cryptocurrency would be held with a larger group later that then contradicting himself less than a minute later by telling me that the people had basically already discussed all that stuff earlier that just received our order for said referring to the in he did not elaborate on issues such but it had apparently just been brought to his attention that daley plaza was currently occupied by the annual german christmas i asked if that meant they would carry on with the original plan of going door to door in lancaster or one of the towns nearby to introduce themselves to members of the to which he replied talked about our plans have five never survive contact with the he paraphrasing a theory of war attributed to german field marshal helmuth von seems to be the way with nationalist and with the group piled into two one leading the way to the the name or address of which no one was willing to and the other following behind me to make sure i get through the reflection in my rearview i could see heimbach in the passenger seat behind sucking on an electronic as i trailed the car ahead for about past acres of farmland and down a narrow road through a wooded area until we reached a dead end at the entrance to the the gate was and i followed heimbach and his posse over the short fence to a picnic table on the i sat down across from heimbach and and a few of the others filled in around us while the rest stood in a line behind the facing the woman had apparently been tasked with filming the and she held her phone with the camera pointed at me the entire for the next hour i tried to extract some concrete evidence of the sophisticated social engagement and community outreach heimbach had ostensibly invited me here to tony of the traditionalist worker with matthew caitlin more the idea for this approach entirely not the first time a white supremacist has tried to do this kind of said heidi director of the intelligence project at the southern poverty law at the same she never seen a white supremacist group really do these said they were going but they really followed she guess it remains to be seen if heimbach really intends to put his money and his time where his mouth been especially intrigued by supposed plan to take on the opioid crisis as a legitimate issue impacting white but while he continued to make bold statements war on drugs could be won an afternoon if the united states government actually wanted to win heimbach offered little indication of how the twp proposed to better solve this when i asked about the opioid he literally has pharma banners in his house for our next pressed for more details on how they actually planned to use the issue to mobilize hovater stepped offering a plan that seemed to morph as he explained from working with local police to clean up dirty needles in neighborhoods with heavy drug to making a big show of calling on local police to clean up such neighborhoods while pledging to do so themselves once the authorities failed to meet their biggest thing is we need to be able to show our people what the system is unable or unwilling to because they could solve all these heimbach we can do then we show that we are more trustworthy than the this how we build a state within a in five if a white person in if you need something done in your you come to us it was hard to envision how the twp planned to take on big pharma and solve the opioid crisis with a room full of banners and a pledge to clean up dirty needles from and heimbach himself admitted that funding has been the greatest obstacle to carrying out their lofty the ruble exchange rate is us right heimbach amusing himself with this characteristically cheesy yet subversive joke about the liberal outrage over supposed russian interference in american though heimbach claims the twp has close to registered supporters people signed up through their website to be on their emailing he says that only about of them pay dues both figures that are relatively impossible to verify based on the turnout at recent seem like they might be a sampling of propaganda from the traditionalist worker website illustrates the controversial more even if estimates are people paying a month does not amount to a very big war especially when a good portion of those funds seems to go toward transporting heimbach and other comrades across the country to take part in various and speaking heimbach and hovater see great moneymaking potential in starting a welding which has yet to get off the in the heimbach points to the

that requires he noting that groups like hezbollah and the irish republican both of which heimbach sites as influences for the significant financial assistance from the heimbach and his colleagues

the groups like the twp to be more effective in their ability to call out and draw on discontent than they are to actually address any of these in terms of any viable policy he the only real base that these extremist groups have are people who see these issues through a racist in for all his talk of building community and advocating for the forgotten white people in heimbach made very clear that he is only interested in offering help to white people who are expressly committed to white someone and addicted to not my he be cucking ourselves as a movement if we were going to be helping people that are opposed to the survival of our both heimbach and hovater insisted that this attitude has limited neither their ability to raise interest in the movement nor to help repeating the same stories heard before about the families they collected coats for in or the business owner from their north carolina chapter who puts twp stickers on hundreds of pounds of canned food each month and donates it to the local food or the recovering addict in indiana who now sponsors new members dealing with drug despite repeated promises to introduce me to some of these people or at the very least give me their names the subjects of these supposed success stories never the best he could offer was the testimonials of a few of the party members accompanied him to the which really offered more insight into own ability to influence certain vulnerable young men than the success of the a who declined to give his last talked about his journey from nationalist internet chatrooms to where he met heimbach

like worth it to pay that much money to just get a degree that makes you the same as you would doing a like he not be in debt the rest of your heimbach chimed adding that is a great of the people twp is trying to years white what are you supposed to do with your you really have a lot of became involved with the twp after meeting members of the party at the unite the right rally in last caitlin

all semus echoed language of community and saying his high school friends really understand my so they kind of cut me and i found better his family support his beliefs semus but hate me for some families have completely ostracized who says he seen his parents since is one of those told me i had to choose my politics or my he explained to me after the rally in rather just be he think all of us would rather just be but convinced that this is either or painted himself so far into a corner that he simply back out heimbach is hardly the only one whose participation in this movement has come at a at its the twp is centered on the claim that american society has deprived young white men in of the right to community and economic but for an overwhelming majority of the members talked their affiliation with white more than that has resulted in alienation by friends and even as who lost his job as a restaurant cook after the times told some point you become unemployable in the the sun began to and suddenly the crew at the park became eager to get they had a book burning to attend the one activity on the original agenda that managed to survive multiple changes of i decided to give

and still like bredesen faces a political landscape that is dramatically different than when he last ran for elected democrats have gone nearly and though the state had a long tradition of electing moderate lawmakers from both pragmatic politicians like bredesen have mostly retired or been voted it raises the question of whether a even one as widely admired as can persuade voters in an era of unprecedented political polarization to look beyond party labels on election the race is sure to have broad national beyond the battle for control of the in which democrats need to win just two additional seats to regain a race will help answer whether the electorate still wants lawmakers who can govern in the bredesen says his gut tells him there are people like him who are tired of what he describes as that has torn the country apart and left washington at a even he admits to polling to make sure he embarking on a the results were promising enough to persuade him to jump into the but they suggest an easy path to he readily admits this will be a harder race than any he has run not only will bredesen have to win over a wide swath of republicans across the including voters who voted for and continue to back he will have to do so while also energizing and holding support among democrats who may be more conservative than in other states but still want to see a candidate who is willing to take on trump more the who had long resisted entreaties from democrats to take on other campaigns over the felt an almost moral obligation to make the one can fix he you bredesen never saw trump but he was less surprised than most when the former reality television star rode a populist wave of support from rural and working class voters into the white house in he had been warning his own party about losing ground among that electorate for as bredesen had sensed resentment building among voters who felt left behind by both political when the economy went south in in what would later be known as the great the unemployment rate rose as high as percent in some parts of bredesen talks with perry county residents in in josh more at the bredesen reached out to lawmakers in washington from both parties as they looked for thought there was nobody in that town who had any idea what it was like for these people lying in bed at night and just seeing all these things that they had hoped for for their just sort of disappearing because of some crazy wall street banker he bredesen seemed to truly grasp fear and felt by americans who have never fully recovered even as much

have done a great job of alienating a lot of voters with this kind of superiority about a certain type of bredesen was hillary oh long before the era of bredesen had been sounding the alarm for democrats on the in the summer of he appeared before the democratic leadership council a group of party centrists who had gained influence during bill where he said dems desperately needed to find a way to reconnect with rural and especially in the you asked me what the republicans stand i could tell you in about a traditional view of a central role for low an assertive and combative view of american interests bredesen said at the he went challenge you to describe what the democratic party stands for in you do just defining ourselves by what just criticizing the failure of history shows that the democrats recaptured the white house in but the party continued to lose and congressional in states like even the dlc no longer exists having closed its doors in eleven years bredesen offers a tight smile when asked about the speech and the suggestions he made to his party back do and donald trump is he said in a state where trump won by bredesen is noticeably careful about how he talks about the he has repeatedly told reporters he does not want to be perceived as running against trump a line that eventually made it into a campaign ad in which the former speaking to someone off insists that he could find common ground with trump and the message from the a lot of things i personally like about donald but the president of the united and if he has an idea and is pushing something that i think good for the people of going to be for bredesen declared in the campaign a variation of what he often tells voters on the the ad did not mention any specific trump and bredesen so far has not detailed areas of common ground between him and the he often pairs his trump critiques to complaints about dysfunction in washington in like the way this country and the way the media in this country has made everything about that bredesen said in an referring to the think of donald trump more as a symptom than a first and i think that symptom is that we as a a lot of republicans have been to a lot of people who have been affected by globalization and technology and have got real a screengrab from campaign more bredesen is quick to add that he all the answers or but in a subtle critique of trump that is characteristic of his tone in the he think there are certainly better answers than demonizing every immigrant or starting trade wars or something like in some bredesen is an unlikely messenger for red state not even from a yankee a native of a small town miles southeast of while running for he neutralized what could have been a liability in a state where rural voters are instinctively suspicious of outsiders by turning that detail of his biography into a he explained to rural voters how he had grown up poor in a small town just like his father had left the

million to million during the same period an overall net worth that would make him one of the richest members of congress if his strength as a candidate is that he come across as a rich guy or an

likely to attract heavy spending from outside that may be enough to keep the nra from an attack on public polling in the senate race has been scant so far and mostly from partisan sources but all

the as of chuck the democratic leader from new york and leading trump critic who played a role in convincing bredesen to join the republicans argue that whether bredesen is a moderate or he would be a reliable vote for the democratic but bredesen dismisses the critique he would just be another democratic foot know he got a good record of not being that he points back to his time as when he worked with republicans to balance the state during that he made what he still describes as the most decision he ever made as governor trimming people from the rolls of the medicaid system for the elderly and the it was a politically treacherous but one later credited as saving the his experience with tenncare and trying to figure out health care in the state later made him a leading critic of affordable care which he complained would put a huge fiscal strain on though he reiterates that he does not support an outright repeal of bredesen has said he is running in part to fix the law and

and to jeff flake and john kasich news photo more a week i wrote about the damning silence of republicans in washington when it came to the trump in the days gotten a bit even as i was writing that john mccain the good old plainspoken mccain known for most of his public not the evil twin who has occasionally tried to sidestep his conscience issued a crisp rebuttal of isolationist worldview and contempt for public then george the retired and retiring former resurfaced to deliver a remarkably eloquent speech in which he slammed distorted into and lamented a degraded by casual neither mccain nor bush mentioned trump by but neither had all that had barely sunk in when trump set about attacking republican bob corker and corker who had already shared his fear that trump could bumble into world war iii accused trump of debasing our country and then came an absolutely stunning rebuke of the president on the senate floor by jeff flake the republican senator who recently wrote a book challenging brand of and who announced he would stand down for reelection rather than in the direction of his you should take the time to read speech for but my favorite were not made great as a country by indulging or even exalting in our worst turning against glorifying in the things that divide and calling fake things true and true things and we did not become the beacon of freedom in the darkest corners of the world by flouting our institutions and failing to understand just how and vulnerable they trump and the island of misfit toys that serves as his senior staff probably considered this a pretty good that neither corker nor flake is willing to risk a primary for his seat demonstrates the abiding passion of base in conservative no doubt he hopes to replace them with and he but guessing trump will look back on this period as the moment when something ominous started to cohere in the republican because this president is headed for a inevitable primary challenge perhaps more than and it could be sometime in who ultimately decides to back i know this might sound implausible maybe depending on your seen modern presidents challenged in primaries before the first george bush without any of them and have to go back a half century to find one who was forced to standing among republican voters still looks pretty darn at least on the and trump already clobbered his leading senators and governors in a bunch of contested primaries so it seems reasonable to think he would do it astute observers of politics will point out as i have many times that grassroots movements always come from the ideological rather than from party there are no centrist revolts in american although there are plenty of sober symposiums attended by budget scolds and newspaper but never had a president like and the thing we know from his ascent is that the rules as we once applied them are a pretty poor predictor of what happens trump ronald reagan or even pat his conflict with the corkers and flakes of the which is almost certain to expand in coming the usual between strident right and mushy not about any discernible ideology at this is about furthering a policy on one versus an agenda to expand the trump family brand on the about celebrity and his contempt for politics versus the wing of his party that aspires to so not talking about a primary campaign fueled by the passion of boring centrists preaching deficit reduction to the talking about longtime big contributors and local officeholders who think the party has to be rescued from the trump organization before it goes the way of the no going to take on trump with a slogan that our vulnerable but our party is just about the most powerful appeal in modern and one you might hear a could it actually resonate among republican primary not if you buy the most common narrative in the political which holds that trump stormed the party and confounded the winning over the base with his nativist appeal and stomping all over his establishment trump was a a hero to the furious but an alternative theory that i think closer to the trump ran against something like serious because the new campaign finance rules encouraged everybody with a rich buddy to and all of them scrambled for the same airtime and the same while shameful appeal to along with his tv and twitter landed him a modest plurality of unshakable it until deep into the with his nomination a foregone that trump finally managed to sway a majority of republicans to his he storm the fractured party he outlasted the math looks very different when running against only one candidate from the or even an nativist percent get it the traditional republican rallied behind a single challenger in the name of restoring dignity and greatness to the might create a surprisingly strong counterforce to the dwindling audiences at rollicking as for ironclad support among republicans it only looks that way because voters are assessing him in opposition to two democrats and the next to those trump looks to most republicans like george but as this very sharp washington post analysis laid out this better polling in this case done by pew research tells a different even the most reliable republican voters are as likely to disagree with trump on the issues as agree with and more likely to be conflicted about his personal behavior than they are to in other republicans stand with but they much like more than willing to believe that another republican would be in core conservatives remain far more bullish on vice president pence than they are on pence a likely primary opponent right but a conservative critic like john kasich might do a lot better with an undivided primary electorate than he did the first time out he decides to bypass the

his approval now stuck at around percent in a series of opens the door wide not just to a tumultuous midterm election but also to a long and unpredictable presidential campaign after by this time next unless something major every third democrat in washington will be lining up to form an exploratory but the more interesting maneuvering may be in the republican where betting see more than one serious primary challenger step looking at marco and then the emerging partnership between two idiosyncratic and popular governors named john the republican from and his democratic colleague from colorado who have begun acting very much like a possible bipartisan ticket in recent holding a series of events around health set to preview their reform plan in interviews whether or not john squared holds any real promise as a presidential campaign tandem get to that in a the whole thing raises a larger question that i find highly relevant in the is america ready for an independent and should our two fossilized parties be a lot more worried about it than they all two but they get to the same central in full probably not the guy you should turn to first if you want a disinterested answer to all been relentlessly harping on the potential for an independent president pretty much since i started following politicians around the country years when all got is a everything starts to look an awful lot like a i happened onto the political scene as a writer in the moment just after ross perot a demonstrably disturbed person who announced that republicans had tried to ruin his wedding managed to score percent of the vote as an independent candidate promising to balance the for several years i spent a lot of my time in the company of politicians like jesse the independent governor of minnesota who for a time seemed like a formidable presidential contender and john who back then captivated the country by taking on both party that john go look it up in and stop expecting the rest of us to do all the work for i absolutely thought colin powell had a chance to win the presidency as an independent in before he removed himself from i was less convinced by a potential candidate i met in some billionaire with the last name of what i came to believe back and what i have written many times america has no use for a third since most of us all that enamored of the two we already but a different thing from a truly independent undertaken by someone a couple of who dispenses with primaries and breaks the party paradigm my is that a lot closer to seeing that kind of campaign succeed than anyone in washington really just as we were a lot closer to the hostile takeover of a national party than anyone thought before over the last during a time in which the emerging digital culture has weakened just about every institution in the grip of the two parties on our political system has loosened our politics may feel more polarized between ideological but mostly because the parties are controlled by an group of diehard activists who present the rest of us with binary the openness to more as measured by the number of americans who identify themselves as politically has never been more or more consistent with the way we live our lives in a very real insurgent campaign represented a kind of independent movement inside the republican which he effectively occupied and then replaced with his family he obliterated the outdated belief that party loyalty matters anything near as much as the two principal and related barriers to entry for an independent candidate the money needed to run a competitive race and the arcane ballot laws that vary wildly by state have been made vastly less onerous by the spread of still not easy to organize a or to raise hundreds of millions of but way easier than it ever was and if anyone still buys the myth that money is the driving force in a national they should study this last it turns out free tv time and social media followings are exponentially more which brings us back to kasich and whose flirtation with a bipartisan ticket was reported last week by mike allen that really have surprised not least because closest political adviser is john whom i met when he was openly exploring the same thing for mccain in weaver has long been a fellow traveler when it comes to upending the an interview last week on the who came away from the last campaign with something of a national following tried to brush aside questions about a joint and finally said it which sure is true at the i find kasich and hickenlooper to be among the more genuine and compelling characters in politics neither man is going to be carried along in the prevailing currents of their which are headed toward ideological stridency and that makes running in primaries a dubious the problem for the two should they get serious about a historic joint is that neither of them commands the kind of celebrity coverage that would kanye west or mark cuban and neither of them is a billionaire like mike bloomberg who briefly considered his own independent bid in probably wakes up every day wishing he had a time have to build a grassroots organization of which is never and have to hope that the two parties ultimately rally around on one and an ideologue like bernie sanders or elizabeth on the not a to be but neither would i call it it might also be good for the the larger point is that even by playing with the these guys are on the vanguard of whether a couple of governors like kasich and or more likely some tv celebrity we even thought of the

mistake of thinking marrying the person your partner is going to once he or she finally grows up or finds that perfect job or stops making meth in the the only person marrying is the one sitting right in front of and while some people do improve over only a fool would count on on second this advice probably comes too late for the paul ryans and bob corkers of the who were exactly this foolish when they wrapped their arms around donald trump and but you they never you republican leaders saw trump reaching out for an insider like paul manafort who ran republican campaigns back when balloon drops were considered and started using words like and they wanted to believe the boorish trump was like a political bob able to go from to without missing a can be more presidential than trump i can be a totally faithful you but several weeks after started giving way to i this more trump was nowhere in and then came the meltdown this after trump said the judge in the civil suit against trump university should recuse himself because of mexican descent and probably resents that the offspring of his ancestors are now going to be forced to build a giant wall at their own the problem with this statement merely its that if one can call it would negate the very idea that is most important contribution to the advancement of humankind that we are a citizenry defined by shared not by inherited in alone among where been is not the sum of who you if trump clear on that point nothing in his subsequent statements leads me to think he then he really has no business speaking to a social studies much less leading the free in any republican insiders now resemble tom hanks at that moment in when he realizes the capsule is adrift and the heat coming back the critical window between effective nomination five weeks ago and next convention is closing and far from projecting more trump seems bent on making a fool of every credible republican who has stepped up to tepidly endorse with blared new york daily news cover over a picture of speaker ryan pointing to if you know ryan at you know that had to feel like a horse kick in the solar but less than a week after endorsing the elected leader refused to deceived spouses always throw good money after hard to look in the mirror and admit you were thought trump was capable of broadening his i thought this not because i presumed he had some inner ronald reagan lurking under that crass but because trump if nothing a masterful entertainer and diviner of the a man with no discernible ideology beyond his own i assumed he might approach the fall campaign as he would another reality i assumed the xenophobic trump was a soon to be replaced by the independent i expected him to like in a video but the thing ryan and i both should have understood about and that now seems to me the central fact of his he is man tragically enslaved to his own most politicians are to some significant by insecurity the need to be loved and to have that love publicly rare as written is barack who could stand to crave a little more approval from time to but for insecurity is not a manageable it is the black hole that consumes he needs constantly to be talked he has an almost pathological obsession with flattering profiles anything that seems to call from the unrelenting exist and you are he talks about being a winner more than anyone ever met who play with pokémons or watch the one of the more illuminating moments of the i was when trump told anderson in a cnn that his father had warned him away from leaving queens to do business in because not for you could almost hear the voice of the father never accept everything in spectacular american story the labeling of towers with gilded the impersonating of a media flak so he could gush about his own business acumen and sex appeal has been fueled by this need to prove himself special and so has the improbable campaign that has now landed him at the pinnacle of our strengths are always our and what we should have known is that trump moderate the need is too much to every every every potential obstacle seems to evoke in him a latent a sense that the world as embodied in unbreachable elite is condescending to him supporters identify with this they find it and republican leaders are loath to push those voters but they also understand that the broader electorate will find the

april has raised just over million compared to polls suggest the race is still to lose though closer than many would expect in a conservative a cbs gov survey released last month found cruz with an

immigrated illegally to the as cruz has decried the practice as the recent crisis on the border has only further cemented immigration as a major issue in the in a widely covered protest along the called the separations and cruz had defended the trump decision to separate children from their illegal immigrant parents when they were detained on the border saying the was merely enforcing federal while calling the images he said parents breaking the law expect their kids to accompany them to no matter the when you see when you see democrats separate kids from their what really saying arrest illegal cruz told kera a dallas public radio station on june but after a week of controversy and a visit to a border detention cruz reversed introducing legislation that would keep immigrant families together but double the number judges along the border the total to to speed up asylum holly news more while the bill was criticized by democrats on the grounds that its limit on adjudicating asylum pleas was too short it was received well by republicans in the who have long been divided over the issue of immigration and were desperate to solve the escalating political but trump shot down bill in a rambling speech in which he called the proposal and exaggerated what exactly it would he suggested the texas senator had proposed hiring or six thousand more and thousands of judges they want to who are these trump want we want security on the while trump ultimately signed an executive order ending his practice of separating senate republicans have sought to pass a narrow measure that would effectively put that policy into permanent law which is what cruz and feinstein have been in an cruz sidestepped questions about criticism of his bill or working with a president that often acts more like a frenemy than an speaking to voters throughout his tour of east he talked up his proposal on judges and his efforts to bring consensus on the though he made no mention of opposition or his ongoing negotiations with feinstein on a permanent solution to family it was not hard to see voters in while friendly to hammered him on issues of border they demanded to know why construction on border wall had yet to and several asked why the was spending money to house immigrant children while there is an epidemic of homelessness among military we just throw them back a woman in sulphur springs referring to immigrant families who have crossed the border holly news more cruz answered by saying that the best way to end the crisis was to deter illegal echoing trump administration talking he argued that many of the kids being brought to the border were not in the custody of their but under the control of human traffickers who were abusing one who cares about who cares about should want to see kids in the custody of human cruz how do you stop the way you stop illegal immigration is you enforce the you send them back you let them he attacked for his more liberal views on accusing his opponent of favoring open borders and supporting the abolition of the immigration customs and enforcement known as pressure from his own said last month he is open to the idea of abolishing the agency but later dialed it back to suggest he would abolish the practices of cruz called it radical and seemed to throw the words back at may be popular with democratic voters and radical he said of not not not what we efforts to rehabilitate his image aimed at winning over but squarely at especially texas many republicans in the state were angered by early years in the when he seemed to be focused less on texas and more on his ambitions for higher national elected to the senate in as part of a wave of tea party cruz quickly thrilled his supporters by taking on president barack he was the driving force behind the government shutdown aimed at trying to undo funding for affordable care cruz in holly more during a speech on the senate cruz famously read the seuss eggs

the job as a stepping who had publicly tangled with cruz over his legislative opted to stay neutral in the republican primary instead of backing his fellow in an interview with kera in at the height of battle with trump for the gop cornyn said he and cruz simply had a different approach to governing he come here to remain in the he came here to run for i think that perhaps explains the difference in he two years cruz no longer speaks of running for but he has pointedly refused to say he telling texas monthly earlier this year that is on the campaign he politely brushes off voters who ask him during if he would run again telling one woman that he is solely focused on the election at cruz with supporters in holly more but that kept from trying to use lingering ambitions against depicting him as an lawmaker who is more interested in the white house than in since launching his campaign last the congressman made a point of visiting all counties in texas a feat that cruz has not

texas southern university in after weeks of negotiations and rule making that rivaled the the texas senator and host battled it out in what kimmel had branded the basketball it was two hours of what cruz later described as the basketball anyone has ever a pair of men in their late with little athletic ability but an affinity for the wheezing and sweating as they tried to each other with baskets

country bernie sanders and elizabeth warren and has been cast in the role of a populist he is running against an older ralph who speaks with a southern drawl that resonates with the older and despite the fact that a recent poll showed perriello ahead by two the former congressman knows he has a big hill to banking on getting new voters to the polls in an election that generated a lot of media attention at a time when the news cycle is dominated by all things the congressional testimony of former fbi director james comey thursday morning is just the latest episode to overwhelm the political base is highly likely to vote in the perriello said in an interview this noting that voters generally are democrats who have voted in past skewing older and more lot of people are skeptical that our supporters younger voters of rural voters are actually going to show up for a primary a half hour perriello warned a group of or supporters in an arlington restaurant that virginia gubernatorial primaries are usually pretty sleepy we see the same electorate show going to be a challenge for he told brad a former white house aide under president obama who this perriello lamented that trump on the ballot no one is paying perriello picked up that point and expanded on in a gentle critique of the many people energized by sentiment or the droves of young progressives who are quick to protest but have yet to show up at the polls in nonpresidential have to get them excited about state and local perriello it should be so because the things that we care about so states actually have more of a criminal justice community quality he went on to note that when he tried to mobilize support for terry proposal in march to expand was difficult to get with a lot of the resistance go all in on this for put every bit of pressure we because the fight could immediately affect and it was disappointing to see how hard it still is to get people to make that transition from anything trump and to the state perriello after perriello finished one young professional i spoke to was surprised when i informed him that most of the democratic establishment the both senators and many others have endorsed the who did not want to give his said he wished perriello had stirred the crowd with more urgency about the need to mobilize democratic gubernatorial candidates ralph and former congressman tom at a debate in may steve more campaign is further emboldened by the fact that college campuses are empty thanks to summer break depriving perriello of a potentially huge voter source and that many virginians are more interested now in where spending their vacation than in running for the northam campaign has also worked hard to try to undermine support among young and progressive sending operatives to his rallies to ask him questions about his past positions on abortion and northam wants perriello on defense about his more conservative past which were the product of his deep catholic faith and the fact that in he won election to congress in largely conservative fifth congressional which starts on the southern border and snakes up the eastern edge of the shenandoah mountains all the way to perriello lost his seat in after voting for the affordable care during the debate over the he was part of a group of democratic congressmen who pressed for restrictions on federal funding for abortion services under the known as the during his reelection he boasted of having previously with democrats on abortion and but he now says he has always been personally and apologized in january for his support of perriello is still critical of the democratic party for its approach to cultural i hear from a lot of voters who went either or trump this last was the sense and obviously this was partly promoted by fox news that democrats only care about where people go to the perriello view is we absolutely should care about protecting trans teens and vetoing bathroom we just have to be clear we care about all of but perriello wants to talk economics much more than culture war and makes a passionate and interesting case for breaking up big business monopolies to help return jobs and wealth to both poor inner cities and rural he has opposed two proposed natural gas pipelines that would run through and refused any financial contributions from the largest energy dominion the energy he is important to our base and the environmental base but is also extremely popular with trump voters and who hate hate corruption in the system and hate the fact that this is standing in the way of farmers and rural communities being able to get some of the jobs of the new energy when perriello discusses racial justice and on how to force compromise in the his intelligence and depth shines through the most he draws on his years of experience mediating foreign conflicts in places like sierra leone and the congo where obama named him a special envoy to explain his vision for a special commission on racial healing and of the things you learn as a peace negotiator is the same thing you learn in any human which is when two people are not actually listening to each just waiting for the other person to validate whatever point of view they have or pain that they and until then just he figuring out how in these conversations we can acknowledge legitimate grievances from various perspectives is an issue of perriello has spoken out regularly and forcefully on systemic issues of inequality and but also said that it is vastly oversimplified and unwise to say someone in appalachia that you are benefiting from white privilege when you have relatives dying of the opioid you have uncles dying of black lung and the when he was asked while campaigning this week whether relationships with the legislature might make the lieutenant governor more adept at getting things done in perriello responded with a thoughtful and forceful argument that politics has just a misunderstanding of how politics works and how leverage he way you do this is you go out and you win the republican not the doing this in backroom deals in richmond gotten us a minimum wage it gotten us criminal justice it gotten us medicaid and so if ralph could have pointed to successes on that over the last few quite frankly i be in this race and i be read more from yahoo from to a year in the

a ground whole thing needs to pick i still think it one leading republican policy adviser who spoke to yahoo news expressed dismay with rough and what was described as that coincided with democratic nominee hillary clinton pulling ahead in the is really hillary is such a flawed option that it should be a lot easier than the adviser in the success in winning the nomination on his own a steady

by msnbc host joe scarborough that the candidate has asked members of his team why the us use nuclear weapons against its this goes against decades of policy that has focused on nuclear disarmament

republican policy adviser who talked to yahoo news expressed disbelief that trump seem to have familiarized himself with the position every modern president and white house hopeful has held on nuclear the adviser said recent remarks and behavior have them wondering whether his entire campaign is a scam to aid his business this other thing here where just he running for he was just running to raise his name id because of the value of his the adviser he really running for is he running to raise trump name if you were really running for president you might have spent time and a guy who been briefed and never made an effort to be briefed on nuclear trump has continued to play the publicity and provocation game in the but despite his lack of focus and some in the campaign have blamed

dysfunction swirling around the in a conversation with yahoo news on friday trump spokesman jason miller said the of campaign discord or campaign disconnect is just absolute pure trump is the one in charge of his campaign and paul manafort is in charge of implementing that vision and overseeing campaign trump knows exactly what knows exactly where he wants to we have a unified team and everyone is on the same page in terms of next miller seen anecdotal evidence that things have been going well over the past few but also empirical reuters just released a poll showing lead over trump has narrowed to less than three that shows the elasticity of this campaign and the problems hillary clinton has running for a third term when everyone in this country so clearly wants a new miller further

personally was not the subject of any in that prior to the january i discussed with the leadership team whether i should be prepared to assure trump that we were not investigating him that was we did not have an open case on we agreed i should do so if circumstances during our meeting at trump based on reaction to the briefing and without him directly asking the i offered that but want to do so publicly in case things in a march phone conversation comey explained to trump why there had been a hearing and how he had briefed congressional leadership on the specifics of the he did not explain to the president that he want to make a public statement saying he was not under because he would have to publicly correct that statement if the situation the circumstance that had arisen when comey felt obliged to inform congressional just before the that he had reopened the investigation into hillary i explained that we had briefed the leadership of congress on exactly which individuals we were investigating and that we had told those congressional leaders that we were not personally investigating president i reminded him i had previously told him he repeatedly told need to get that fact did not tell the president that the fbi and the department of justice had been reluctant to make public statements that we did not have an open case on president trump for a number of most importantly because it would create a duty to should that trump asked comey for loyalty in a private dinner in the white house green room on january comey said that trump repeatedly asked him for leading to an a few moments the president need i expect i or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that we simply looked at each other in the conversation then moved but he returned to the subject near the end of our when trump brought up comey finessed the issue by promising and a phrase he left deliberately i will always get honesty from he paused and then what i honest i and then will get that from as i wrote in the memo i created immediately after the it is possible we understood the phrase but i decided it be productive to push it the term honest loyalty had helped end a

told the ag that what had just happened him being asked to leave while the fbi who reports to the remained behind was inappropriate and should never he did not for the reasons discussed i did not mention that the president broached the potential investigation of general after meeting with trump for the first comey made it his policy to document their the ousted fbi director is known to be a fastidious but he previously felt the need to keep contemporaneous records of every private i felt compelled to document my first conversation with the in a to ensure i began to type it on a laptop in an fbi vehicle outside trump tower the moment i walked out of the creating written records immediately after conversations with trump was my practice from that point this had not been my practice in

criticize trump over the curiel in very few republicans of any real stature have defended and some have even characterized them as which is an unusual position for any republican to find himself but condemnation was especially revealing because it along with several other similar from precisely the sort of politician in a normal election would be least inclined to publicly castigate his or her

eastern airlines got more than a decade of experience in government and with his white square jaw and folksy rasp he seems like the hollywood version of a national the republican candidate is an evangelical christian who makes a point of introducing himself by his first earlier this he released his tax showing him to be someone of relatively modest means with a negative net worth this is not some parallel universe or alternate this republican candidate is running for vice indiana mike pence is the first to admit he has a radically different personality from brash billionaire gop presidential nominee donald yet he insists they share the same a charismatic so they were looking for somebody to balance the pence explained in a brief interview with yahoo news last i think we do have different new york but what found out very early on in this friendship was that we really shared the same we share the same love for our the same love for this and their campaign believes that their differences make them a strong that the balance of devout midwestern public servant and brazen new york billionaire could win over voters wary of hot temper and lack of political that strategy will be put to its first real test on when who was hardly a household name before being tapped by will be under the biggest national spotlight of his career as he faces off against virginia tim kaine in the vice presidential pence and trump as he a political odd trump often touts his status as a political but pence served in the house of representatives from to before becoming and while trump is a former democrat who had multiple marriages and once described himself as pence is a religious conservative who has focused on fighting gay marriage and in the pence endorse trump and instead backed texas ted on the campaign trump has explained this away by arguing that pence was tremendous pressure from establishment and ended up delivering a tepid speech for cruz that was of an endorsement for donald trump points to mike during a campaign event in july to introduce pence as his vice presidential running evan more there have been whispers that pence fully on board with on july the day trump officially announced pence as his running veteran gop operative dan senor caused a stir with a disorienting to have had commiserated trump about how he was then to see that someone become senor wrote senor did not respond to a request for but in his conversation with pence insisted that proud to be donald running honored to be on the pence truly do believe this good going to be a great president of the united yet pence and differences end after they joined at pence and trump have appeared decidedly out of step with each even as they ran on pence unequivocally said he and trump that president obama born in the united states of yet that same trump talked with the washington post and did not deny the birther conspiracy theories about the and when pence released his tax it called attention to refusal to do the same and prompted a raft of negative including an editorial in the washington post deploring a situation in which lesser partner on a ticket submitted himself to a higher standard of scrutiny than the man whose character voters most need to a member of campaign team says these differences reflect a deliberate strategy to mike be and allow the governor to follow his political instincts and even when they put him at odds with the man at the top of the according to the the campaign thinks that showing these differences conveys authenticity and could maximize the appeal to voters who might be more open to and the staffer said trump has personally approved instances in which pence went in a different has all mike be the pence staffer they talk on the of do who you the staffer specifically said trump encouraged pence to release his we needed to release our tax or our medical or things like you i it got to do go do get it the staffer describing reaction to the when we put in those news you that this was done with the full support of the one you get out you release or you do those the mike be mantra mirrors the trump brain approach to the but for the motto was a license to let loose with wild insults aimed at his conspiracy theories about grand plots against and policies that terrified critics who cast them as draconian and in that long leash means freedom to act like a normal while clearly a political odd the campaign insists the running mates and their teams are in pence tells audiences that he and trump just about every they also regularly hold joint trump talks with the press on his campaign plane as pence evan more really one kind of cohesive the pence staffer said of the campaign the pence staffer says his team is organized to with the people in corresponding roles in constant several members of vice presidential campaign staff work out of manhattan headquarters multiple days a pence has also previously worked with campaign kellyanne who is now advising both running but team necessarily crafting policy ideas and influencing the staffer said pence and his team are working to which the policies he pursued as such as cutting regulations and though the candidates and their teams may be the pairing of pence and trump at unquestionably made for an odd the weirdness began almost immediately after trump announced his decision to make pence his running mate on july on the evening trump told fox news he had not made a final between pence and the others on his and after the choice was multiple media outlets reported after informing pence that he was the trump made a series of calls to aides questioning the choice and asking if he could back out of the trump campaign has vigorously denied the reports that he considered dropping pence and trump first appeared together on july at an event at which trump delivered a lengthy speech that most observers noticed barely mentioned his newly minted running new york times reporter nicholas confessore wrote on twitter that trump could stick with a pence thought for more than five after wrapping trump exited the leaving his running mate standing alone at the a gesture that ezra klein described as the for on pence joined trump for a rally in pence was the only elected official headlining the event along with omarosa a former star of reality television and boxing promoter don who slipped the n word into his speech though he is ostensibly second only to trump on the pence introduced rather than the other way at another ohio speech the same pence was relegated to opening for bombastic basketball coach bobby promoter don king on stage with republican vice presidential nominee mike pence at a rally with supporters in jonathan more solo appearances are far more typical political his events last week featured local politicians rather than reality television and sports world campaign recently adopted what a top aide described as a more approach but before that usual stump speech had been a unscripted hour that included frequent jabs at his attacks on the political establishment and riffs on current remarks are the polar the governor spent last week delivering a scripted stump speech in which he paints himself as a conservative and a in that campaign trail roadshow was an earnest affair that included the ritual republican invocation of former president ronald reagan and a dry recitation of statistics on national security and pence sees something of reagan in in the conservative of which i am a often like to speak about reagan as a conservative and he was but in a very real you ronald reagan spoke to the frustrations and the aspirations of the american said was that old adage that the guy on the back of a the guy driving a would hear reagan on those little radio broadcasts he did in the and just he really spoke for the american what inspires me is the height and breadth of the people that are responding to donald exactly the type of argument the campaign hopes pence can drive home to voters and insiders in more republican who may have been reluctant to get on board with a candidate who defies many of the have different styles they are communicating the same message maybe in different the pence staffer said of the running trump as the governor likes to from manhattan island while the governor says he speaks he actually speaks and for the washington the media it is that there are a lot of people in the traditional republican the they take comfort in the way he says and there are signs pence is succeeding in selling anxious segments of the republican base on conservative policy guru grover norquist told yahoo that pence is a for norquist cited experience passing legislation at the state level and in congress as a to the

walks of the governor pointed to a speech he gave on in as a particularly of support for the event was held outdoors in meticulously maintained colonial district moments before pence stepped on the skies opened got out of the my wife gave me a little pat on the and right when she was doing literally it was like the torrential downpour pence pence said staffers asked if he wanted to could see the and one of the advance team came up and do you want to and i and go he pence just make a brief he spoke for more than delivering his entire stump speech as the rain soaked through his audience of several hundred people stayed along with pence gestures as he addresses a rally in front of the colonial capitol in on steve more see people it really it was to it was just a vivid example of the the determination of this movement that i see around the i people you the republican celebrity on this ticket people there to see pence were there because they support what donald saying and doing and his visions to america great after the pence strolled to the back of his plane to thank the press corps for braving the storm and to show off the soggy and saturated pages of notes he had with pence told yahoo news he called trump immediately after the event to share the news of the devoted crowd in the crucial battleground told him going to win pence said of his call with trump recounted their chat the following day when they shared the stage in cleveland with the boxing been an amazing and all over the he was in and it was a they had a great group of face darkened as he never want him to get

carried clinton campaign signs and many seemed focused on make america the protesters twisting campaign one one man simply shouted the name of russian president vladimir whom trump has praised as a strong but some of the protesters were focused on the governor gave up his chance to run for when he joined pence might have had a tough time staying in polls showed that pence was headed for a tight race some data indicated voters were frustrated with focus on social including a controversial law he signed in march that allowed indiana businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians for religious the law sparked widespread caused many major businesses to boycott the and led some donors to abandon pence pence has also drawn fire for his efforts to limit as he signed legislation each

indiana planned parenthood action fund has described pence as health and dawn the executive vice told yahoo news the governor is simply nightmare for it comes to restricting mike pence is so even his fellow republicans in indiana have objected to his laguens the protesters in williamsburg seemed to be motivated by his position on social moves that trump and pence independently and together have made to counter rights all over the country are just said becca a student at the nearby college of william despite the in his conversation with yahoo pence dismissed the idea that the ticket has been especially polarizing and suggested it generated opposition beyond the level seen in american while polls show less than percent of and under percent of hispanics support pence also maintained that

stronger we can be more prosperous donald very straightforward message to make america great i is really resonating with people from every walk of but the man tasked with softening rougher is clearly

celebrity i called the column white house i was in an administration where women play only supportive ivanka has settled for assistant white house the bigger job belongs to her jared whose portfolio so far includes brokering middle east negotiating trade reconfiguring the federal stamping out establishing ties with china and mexico and as of this week surveying our strategy in iraq i guess all left is to put him in charge of financial regulation and criminal and then the entire aging cabinet can spend the next years swimming and swing dancing at like characters from a raft of critics have recently come after jared and alleging that they know a thing about policy and that awash in ethical conflicts that but the problem with newest power couple is larger and more pervasive than any of and it illuminates the underlying darkness in this before we get to put all this in some not uncommon for presidents to rely on the guidance of spouses or other as we all but have to go back to the early to find anything remotely comparable to the familial power center in white just read a terrific forthcoming book called revolution of robert by the historian john which reminded me of how blatantly the kennedys made their white house a family it was joseph the who decreed that another of his would be the attorney no one spoke to john kennedy or had more influence across the entire spectrum of than his so blatant was in that in congress passed a law barring any president from naming a relative to the cabinet or to the helm of any federal also applies to posts in the district of columbia in case trump was thinking of annexing the city and making tiffany its provincial this is why jared actually have the jobs of all the cabinet secretaries jared during a helicopter transit over baghdad on navy petty officer class dominique via more but be drawing a line from rfk to jared kushner is like trying to compare king to by the time he became attorney general at kennedy with some assistance from his father had already achieved notoriety as the unflinching lead counsel for a senate been a government prosecutor for a kushner served a day on a school board before trump put him in charge you near as i can his sole achievement in his young life much like his is to have spent his money on cool like some buildings and a once trendy newspaper never does have one thing in common with bobby his father gave a ton of money to harvard before he the trump family exhibits little defensiveness about is a kind of factor of the sage philosopher eric trump told forbes for a story this which is certainly true if your life begins with the name but probably less so if one of those voters who want america made great again because your children will not inherit an empire of golf and in an interview with cbs this ivanka noted that a lot of these same critics said her father have the qualifications to run for and here he which i guess was supposed to be a good is incredibly very has enormous she but first of whatever one thinks of donald and a acknowledge that he did harness the courage to actually run for office and the skills necessary to accountable to the voters who put him here and to a lot of americans who did jared and ivanka are accountable to exactly no unlike a robert neither of them even had to be confirmed by the senate before wielding unparalleled power in the west no one got to vote on their empty as for how smart kushner never met and no reason to doubt a quick study and a sharp you you walk down a street on the upper east side without bumping into three smart guys with real estate not as if he represents some rare commodity in public then there are the ethical quandaries around which truly are unprecedented in the executive ivanka first tried to avoid being subject to any rules at all by serving as an informal when that tactic proved even too cute for the white house legal she agreed to take a title as assistant to the president and to remove from the management of her businesses but not from the still making money off the trump hotel in where you can bet a lot of foreign officials will be plunking down cash in the months already come under scrutiny because of a deal in which an influential chinese company offered to invest million in a building owned by his the kushners backed off that but clear enough now that the only thing keeping jared from mixing our business with his is the threat of public and this gets to the heart of my issue with kushner and and with the trump family acquisition of the white house decided all of a sudden that very much like to run the country for a but not willing to sacrifice a damn thing for the robert kennedy could probably have doubled his fortune had he wanted to stay outside of government and profit from his that was never the whether you loved the kennedys or hated whether you agreed with their vision for the country or no one could reasonably argue that they choose to serve our interests over their the same was true for the by the not so with the from donald on public service is a playground to an accidental apparently not as important a hobby as which is what jared and ivanka were doing while the health care bill was cratering the idea that they should lose anything in order to that doing this with integrity should cost them any real wealth or seems as foreign and misguided to them as a north korean be willing to give jared and ivanka the benefit of the doubt even absent any obvious humility or aptitude for their jobs if they were willing to

and for the failure to live up to his reputation is his own but does some of the blame rest with those who created that greitens represents a particularly apt test of this even before running for office he was one of time most influential one of greatest nobody expects profound insights from these of but his aura of saintliness was sealed by an entire book in fact several including those he wrote about he was a leading figure in by joe which describes how greitens founded and ran the mission a nonprofit that places and sponsors his fellow veterans in community service to say that glorifies greitens is like saying god comes off well in the he was a prodigy who was able to roll over in his crib at the age of a superbly fit athlete who ran double a scholar who mike to his

exposure to politicians who give the impression of spending their nonworking hours in a waiting for their consultants to let them out and hand them their talking breeds but also its a yearning for a conviction that virtue can be restored to the republic by candidates who reveal something of who exhibit sparks of intellectual emotional authenticity and that can give rise to the dangerous delusion that the journalist has the ability the obligation to discern that to know the two and illustrations of this tendency are john mccain and hillary mccain was famous for his accessibility to reporters during his presidential for the spontaneous of his bull his forthright expressions of anger and this worked wonders with journalists thrilled to have a candidate to and they responded with glowing

wisdom of choosing a president on the basis of wisps of not surprising that klein was enthusiastic about who was indeed an extremely accomplished and impressive and the opposite of a programmed professional in klein entirely changed his as recently as may he posted on facebook that while greitens had made including a confessed extramarital affair and using the donor list from the mission

referred to a special who may decide to refile the but if all i knew about him was what i read in i have suspected him capable of the things he did including cheating on his klein seem to have written anything else in public about greitens although in an exchange of messages last week he told me he was thinking about he added that led him astray not an uncommon but greitens saved dozens of and created a great organization that has brought new life and purpose to thousands of and klein defends the proposition that journalism can illuminate the character of a provided backed by when i said i

america chooses an antihero matt bai national political columnist yahoo news november last after donald trump at last secured the republican nomination for i wrote about what i thought was best scenario for and i compared the coming campaign to a movie imagine that standing in a holding a ticket for either of two movies that are about to start at the same the first is a predictable flick sat through twice before and the second is a film that every reviewer agrees is one of the worst things to ever hit the but you seen and at least a chance turn out to be because wrong about everything all the how many of us are going to take our chances on the second the it turns is enough to make trump the president of the united states and the least likely in our i was in new york studio with katie couric and the author evan among like most everyone been hearing all day that late surge seemed to have fallen short as we on election day in that john kerry was easily sweeping george bush out of then the last state exit polls started trickling and you could see it trump was winning white women in and hillary clinton was winning women overall in ohio by a smaller margin than president obama had won them four years even if the numbers entirely reliable sure they they have been wrong enough to offset historic margin among white by the time wisconsin fell into column a few hours it was clear that path to the so wide and promising when the night had narrowed to a the celebration that night would be a few blocks away on sixth rather than at the convention hall a mile down the my thoughts then turned to my who along with their friends watched this campaign and who thought it inconceivable that someone who carried on like a bully at school who berated muslims and latinos and the disabled could lead the i thought especially of my small who found hillary clinton a lot more inspiring than i ever what do we tell our daughters about this how do we explain not just the defeat of the first woman but also the election of a man who has taunted women and boasted of their not exactly but judging from some of the admittedly crude data we have from i think we can ask them not to assume the worst about for one although cries of sexism will ring far and loud in the months no one should take away from this that another woman be elected according to the exit polling more than six in voters thought clinton and only percent had a favorable opinion of which really be since clinton ran a defensive campaign in which she barely tried to convince anyone of anything they already believe about as trump blundered into one embarrassment after another throughout much of the fall clinton was content to recede and let the entire thing become a referendum on betting on the idea that america be so heedless as to elect her campaign slogan might as well have you all candidates come with some challenges inherent in their but really no more reason today to think that just being a woman is any more limiting than being black or latino or limiting is not having the confidence or ability to get out there and make an affirmative we can tell our kids that while trump may be our next he managed to win despite his boorish taunts and not because of fully six in voters thought trump unqualified for the office which is almost the exact same as the percentage that said he lacked the right that he was untrustworthy and that they did not view him this included significant percentages of americans who voted for him even if the exit polls are off by a these are staggering it means that a clear majority of the country suspects that the next president is a foul person and nowhere near up to the that trump seems to have amassed something like million fewer votes than mitt romney did in a losing effort four years in failing to reach the percent trump lost the popular vote to clinton and came nowhere near vote count from even trump must look at that and know that he blown into the white house simply by some wind of white there was also the stiff breeze of disdain for his the sudden as it turned wholly reentry into the race during those last crucial weeks change mind about who clinton what it did was to remind them of how bleak her presidency would likely how shadowed by endless investigations and that combined with sudden and miraculous ability to finally shut up for a little while succeeded in making the in its final what republicans had hoped to make it all a referendum on so what are we to make of all i go back to the some large number of trump voters enough to put him over the top in the electoral college are under no illusion that he is likely to inspire or even reward their but a lot of them made the calculation that rather find that one way or the than sit through another four years of rapidly expanding endless scandals and empty what they saw coming in a second clinton and no one did much to disabuse them of the as written many times during this american largely thanks to my own has come to resemble nothing so much as entertainment or characters matter more than storylines eclipse so no wonder the voters seemed to view both flawed candidates as dual narratives competing for the next four years of our viewing as a clinton is a little the critics say the trump saga is but why would the voters listen to they wanted something something with a little more creative there was a time when we had to really admire our on screen and in but tv and movies these days are filled with antiheroes like walter white or the characters never have over to dinner but who we find mesmerizing in part because always the looming question of whether they can yet be something better than they so why not a president who demeans who pay taxes and never says we have to love we only have to imagine who he might yet this is what we can tell our or the clear majority of it is not a country that cheers bullies and dishonors the cruelty and bigotry unleashed and legitimized by our this year what draws most voters to simply lost our seriousness of our media treats politics like a and the actors treat us like an and so an awful lot of americans decided they might as well give trump a because all theatrics and at least willing to it strikes me as a reckless bound to get you a reckless dangerous parts of the world are about to get more more than million

position of running in an election that he also oversees as georgia secretary of state is directed toward a state with a long history of viewing outsiders with skepticism and history and georgia has a unique political history that has historically inflated the politics of localism and the definition of what is georgia and what is jason morgan a historian at emory told yahoo much of this psychology springs and is sometimes intertwined the legacy of segregation and jim as in many deep south resentment still simmers toward a term kemp actually used in an official statement who marched and

going to align with the national not continue to try to put an asterisk and some things like them but really harper harper also noted that georgia democrats pretty much exist he mention that most rural democrats in the state would have been but that was the historical and when talk turns to the tension between rural and urban the distinction between what is georgian and what is not slips back into a clear racial divide in the until georgia used what was known as the unit to allow rural counties to exercise more power over state politics than urban centers such as it was method of indirect former president jimmy carter wrote in his book that elected statewide officials by votes allocated to each county based on their geographical not their election to the state senate in was made

vehicle to nullify the ballots of the few who voted in the godbold densely populated fulton county had less representation than the sparsely populated southwestern so for the calculation to embrace

out of the it was a little but he leave one section it was nice to hear someone finally standing up for at a point where seeing some negative and that means the next generation may have a hard we need a cheerleader in and he showed that i hope it made an impression with people at it was a very presidential if you lay it all people can see there are so many things that need correcting and it never happens in where there are so many broken and we see inaction has led us down this and people want four more years of the same trump understands he understands monetary never had anyone who is that we have a community organizer as president and a woman who wants to be president who thinks the government creates trump he tells it like it people like the plain everyone in the arena understood he said

every special niche or interest that delegates donald trump speaking on july the final day of the republican national carolyn more during the before acceptance we had a reception with the texas and north carolina i made a point of asking around about the cruz debacle from the night i was with the texas delegation in the people were but a lot of the folks i talked to were angry with texas led the booing last and they made sure i knew it at the event even the cruz supporters said they wished he done they were talking about how they support him and that he cut himself off from a future presidential before we had breakfast with arkansas asa he was a really interesting i had forgotten he had served in the department of homeland security under george he was a really nice guy and had a great sense of what is going on in the but everyone was gearing up for it was a mostly quiet after all the i see how you vote for but the convention experience was i know where going to be in four but i have asked for as told to andrew news we had two protests against donald trump and both were always seen this as a moment for not just people who go to protests but also people who have never protested to come out and say why they believe in each for the afternoon we kept getting rsvps until the last one of the things we did earlier was survey all the people who said they were coming and ask them if they had any experience seventy percent of people said it was their first time and they came to a national convention to we may sound idealistic or but we believe people were carrying signs about racism and they were about valuing valuing valuing valuing muslims and valuing these but rather the core beliefs of our these but ones that people took a marker in their backyard or in their basement and this is how they feel and why they want to be out the march went we were it is going to sound weird coming from a protest but we also want to thank the it is one of the hottest days of the and the officers did it was safe and i loved seeing handshakes between protesters and this was the kind of moment we thought the country it is the same vibe we had later in the day in public i say enough good things about the demonstrators make their way to the bridge in cleveland on july alex more we think trump needs a protest that about violence and that positivity happened in the afternoon and it happened in the we are committed to and it says a lot about the people involved to have it turn out as it the evening rally was during the turnout was about the same as the march a few hundred we took over concert hill in public square other opposition groups came up and hung but we dominated the a great moment came when cleveland police chief calvin williams rode he was on a bike with other officers and clearly doing but he came over and made sure we felt secure when people openly carrying weapons came it was a true act of leadership on his today was more than we ever we thought we would be a tiny group in a larger protest put on by someone we had no idea we would be the largest march and the largest public square that being i hope a cause like this never comes to make us protest like once was i even want to think of what a trump reelection campaign would look as the republican national convention closes stand together against trump congratulates the people of city police and republicans on a peaceful and positive week of we hope it is said of our city that in a time of cleveland was not in a time of we stood in a time of we were not as told to andrew news

his pragmatism and his authenticity though it remains to be seen whether democratic primary voters not going into this race thinking got to prove that a he need to jump when somebody says on any particular more from the yahoo about to start a listening tour of the early presidential what would you have to hear to make you decide not to sherrod i trying to go into this without judging what criteria we need for yes or a i just want to get a feel for these four i want to hear how people since when we first started thinking about my wife and i would listen to and we would notice that too many of them think a choice between running to our progressive base or talking to the problem if we choose between the we lose swing we lose we lose new we could lose pennsylvania or michigan or wisconsin or so pretty clear we need to do as you there are a lot of other democrats running or gearing up to are any of them already saying the sort of things you want to not sure talking to workers well something the party needs to figure and not just talking to workers governing as if you respect the dignity of for too long democrats have not focused on these we seem so happy about our success in the but at the same time been losing the areas by bigger and bigger there are counties in i won of and i won the state by seven but in many of those other we got they even this awful divide between the metro areas and the smaller so i think the guy from the only one who can but i do think that i can run a good race because of my message and sure that being from ohio would help in the electoral what does the of mean in policy and how does it differ from what other democrats are and have been in recent not an attack on any not an per on wall i define the dignity of work as three one is better wages and two is more power in the workplace for that means stronger and also workplace rules legislatively in some cases that give workers some the freedom to get a decent the freedom to use your the freedom to have a predictable and a tax system that rewards right congress and mitch mcconnell and the president and the courts all put their thumb on the scale of justice to advantage corporations over or wall street over the idea of the dignity of work is to rebalance those scales so that people have a legitimate often described as authentic at least when not being described as rumpled authenticity is all democrats can talk about these what does that word even it mean that you have a consultant telling you to be because if you do about being i just think saying what you mean and meaning what you been consulted in race after race by fill in the blank the the whoever move to the to not speak too short for if the facts you dig in on something but you do dig in on issues of and as i fight for i will always fight for right to always fight for marriage always fight for a higher minimum always fight for strong environmental always fight for civil who i if you you might be the only candidate who support why basically the password to get into the democratic primary these start with i fought for universal coverage my whole i promised to pay my own health insurance until we got universal coverage and i now my wife and i are in the obamacare like millions of other i wrote the original medicare at voluntary i wrote the public with sheldon that was originally in the affordable care i want to get something i see too many and whose plants have closed going without they just have to stay alive until to get i i can do the talking i want to get to for but i think we can get medicare at and ok with me then we move towards for but i just know how it happens in this political so you see it as a matter of as how do democrats actually cobble together the point other candidates are making is that the party should be setting for as its but not going to change my philosophy and my positions to pass a litmus put up my progressive bona fides up against anybody in this if all the candidates that you guys are writing about are in this i will be one of two people who voted against the iraq be one of two people who voted against be the only person who has a from the been pushing for marriage equality for i need to jump when somebody says jump on any particular and done all of that in a state where a lot harder than pick your of the other so i be lectured to by other candidates about not being progressive enough on the just to be you see for as something america should aspire but to say that your policy prescription does not strike you as a realistic way to fair what about a new the other hot topic on the first of i know exactly what that the new deal was a bunch of things put the wagner social the minimum collective so i think the new is a wonderful i think that climate change is the greatest moral issue of our and that we need to address it and and and i think that there will be many components of what we do to address climate and been part of those efforts in the getting the sense that your approach to policy even in a democratic primary will differ from your unlike many of you seem to resist campaigning on these bold i came here to get things i believe in the hubert humphrey idea with people on the outside pressuring people on the and people on the inside doing the an for a while i was the only person in the senate pushing to expand and make permanent the earned income tax after we finally did some people came into our office and said to to the the best antipoverty measure in that might not have been a really salient campaign but look at the impact it has on the pocketbooks of a lot of people making a so take that over talking points on any any how about corporate pac taken plenty of it in the past but now it seems like every democratic candidate is turning it is that something you would do thought about i may do i but the bottom is that not going into this race thinking got to prove that a represented a conservative congressional represented a state getting more and more republican every and just not how i not going to change my views just because running for another have you always considered yourself a i think i start with populism is not not it divide populists advocate tax cuts for the to populism is lifting people and bringing people and giving them a chance in if working you ought to be able to get if you play by the you ought to have a decent standard of and if you love your fight for the people who make it when i see some fascist dictator called a or i see donald trump called a it just rankles because phony populists go to meetings of rich donors to figure out their message to figure out how to sound like nice i why does anyone even describe trump as a because he says and he has big so did at a time when gridlock has made getting anything done pretty much impossible and partisanship has divided us into warring i sometimes wonder if a person that wants to be president has to be why would you even want the why i wrestle with most of the people in this race now have thought about running for president for a five their whole or at least their whole i know some people have come to the senate planning to run for but it never occurred to me to actually do this until when i talked about our campaign in ohio being the blueprint to win the white and then some people started applying it to not saying a politicians tell the truth when they say but i can see a path and thinking seriously about i wrestle with what it does to your what it does to your to run for a year or just come off a campaign that was pretty long and no whining on the i get to do this great so not complaining about the but i also know that sort of unnatural to dive into something like what do you feel like you could do as president that no one else could always had the courage of my i compromised on so i put my history up against anyone my history of running in a conservative state as a progressive and

that many immigrant youth were being wrongly accused of gang district court judge andrew hurwitz issued a preliminary injunction in the aclu known as saravia providing some basic constitutional

law enforcement directly encountered them or somehow they got information from the school about the kids and then law enforcement referred them to he but rather than produce arrest the government cited ambiguous evidence ranging from reported associations with known gang members at school to being seen wearing a certain type of blue clothing and even rosary think actually part of the issue is that their way of identifying gang members is so problematic and so even if they do have concrete not very said under current immigration gang membership by itself is not grounds for deportation or even the slightest whisper of gang affiliation can have devastating consequences for and despite the high stakes a remarkably low standard of evidence is required for immigration to make such

appearing on a state gang but when told about she find it surprising that a officer would feel empowered to say can actually testify to gang membership based on just incredibly she said of the

president and less able to challenge and there was a third possible to help did the russians believe they could influence a national election in the united states and affect the at this the intelligence community analysts and officials working on this issue considered this point not yet fully substantiated by the data they given business dealings with russians over the years and his history of puzzling positive remarks about there seemed ample cause for putin to desire trump in the white the intelligence experts did believe this could be part of the mix for why not shoot for the moon and see if we can get trump these potential motives were not mutually a top obama aide later obama would be vacationing in vineyard until and the deputies took his return as an informal deadline for preparing a list of options diplomatic and that could be put in front of the principals and the as these deliberations were under more troubling intelligence got reported to the white hackers were probing the computers of state election particularly voter registration the first reports to the fbi came from in late its voter database was targeted in a persistent cyberattack that lasted for the attackers were using foreign ip many of which were traced to a dutch company owned by a heavily tattooed russian who lived in the hackers were relentlessly pinging the illinois database five times per

voter registration system for a in another one nsc staffer regularly walked into the office of michael the white house director of with disturbing he would more states got or or at one daniel took a deep breath and told starting to look like every single state has been think anybody knew what to make of jeh johnson later the states selected seemed to be his the department of homeland could see no logic to if the goal was simply to instigate confusion on election johnson whoever was doing this could simply call in a bomb other administration officials had a darker and believed that the russians were deliberately plotting digital perhaps with the goal of altering michael daniel was he believed the ability to fiddle with the national vote count and swing a national election to a desired candidate seemed if not have daniel subsequently have to pick the county where the race was going to be tight and manipulate the that seemed beyond their the russians were not trying to flip to have that level of precision was not but daniel was focused on another parade of if hackers could penetrate a state election voter they might be able to delete every or flip two digits in a id so when a voter showed up at the his or her name would not the changes could be not easily but the potential for disorder on election day was the russians would only have to cause problems in a small number of locations problems with registration vote or other mechanisms and faith in the overall tally could be who knew what would happen daniel even fretted that the russians might post online a video of a hacked voting the video would not have to be real to stoke the paranoids of the world and cause a segment of the electorate to suspect or conclude that the results could not be he envisioned moscow planning to create multiple disruptions on election day to call the final counts into the russian probes and penetrations of state voting systems changed the conversations under administration officials now feared the russians were scheming to infiltrate voting systems to disrupt the election or affect tallies on election and the consensus among top advisers was that potential russian election tampering was far more the russian they generally was unlikely to make the difference in the outcome of the presidential could trump really beat yet messing with voting systems could raise questions about the integrity of the election and the that they the more serious weeks trump had started claiming that the only way he could lose the election would be if it were with one candidate and his supporters spreading this it would not take many irregularities to spark a crisis on election obama instructed johnson to move immediately to shore up the defenses of state election on while in the basement of his home in upstate new held a conference call with secretaries of state and other chief election officials of every without mentioning the russian into state he told them there was a need to boost the security of the election infrastructure and offered the he raised the possibility of designating election systems as just like dams and the electrical grid meaning that a cyberattack could trigger a federal much to this move ran into many of the state officials especially from the red states wanted if to do with the leading the charge was brian secretary of an staunchly conservative republican who feared the hidden hand of the obama white need the federal government to take over our he told johnson tried to explain that cybersecurity experts could help state systems search for vulnerabilities and protect against he encouraged them to take basic cybersecurity such as ensuring voting machines were not connected to the internet when voting was under and he kept explaining that any federal help would be voluntary for the must have used the word voluntary recalled a homeland security official who was on the there was a lot of skepticism that revolved around want big brother coming in and running our election after the johnson and his aides realized encouraging local officials to accept their help was going to be they gave up on the idea of declaring these systems critical infrastructure and instead concluded they would have to keep urging state and local officials to accept their cybersecurity interaction with local and state officials was a warning for the white if administration officials were going to enlist these election officials to thwart russian interference in the they would need gop leaders in congress to be part of the endeavor in a vouch for the federal yet they had no idea how difficult that would at the first brennan had serious news for his the most recent intelligence indicated that putin had ordered or was overseeing the russian cyber operations targeting the and the intelligence community sometimes called the by denizens of that world was certain that the russian operation entailed more than spy services gathering it now viewed the russian action as a active this intelligence was so sensitive it had not been put in the daily brennan had told obama personally about but he did not want the information circulating throughout the national security the other principals were surprised to hear that putin had a direct hand in the operation and that he would be so it was one thing for russian intelligence to see what it could get away it was quite another for these attacks to be part of a concerted effort from the top of the kremlin but a secret source in the who two years earlier had regularly provided information to an american official in the had warned then that a massive operation targeting western democracies was being planned by the russian the development of the gerasimov doctrine a strategy for nonmilitary combat named after a top russian general who had described it in an obscure military journal in was another indication that information warfare against the united states was a and there had been an intelligence report in may noting that a russian military intelligence officer had bragged of a payback operation that would be revenge on but these few clues had not led to a consensus at senior government levels that a major attack was on the at this top national security officials were uncertain how to as they would later explain any steps they might take calling out the imposing raising alarms about the penetrations of state systems could draw greater attention to the issue and maybe even help cause the disorder the kremlin a government they could amplify the psychological effects of the russian attack and help moscow achieve its was a concern if we did too much to spin this up into an it would help the russians achieve their a participant in the meeting later would create help trump and hurt we had to figure out how to do this in a way so we create an own we had a strong sense of the hippocratic do no a parallel concern for them was how the obama administration could respond to the russian attack without appearing too obama was actively campaigning for would a tough and vocal reaction be seen as a white house attempt to assist clinton and stick it to they worried that if a white house effort to counter russian meddling came across as a political that could compromise the ability of the department of homeland security to work with state and local election officials to make sure the voting system was obama too worried about being perceived as prejudicial or there was some a top obama aide said as obama and his top policymakers saw they were stuck with several inform the public about the russian attack without triggering widespread unease about the election be without coming across as partisan and bolstering claim the election was a prevent putin from further cyber aggression without prompting him to do was one of the most complex and challenging issues i dealt with in avril the who oversaw the deputies later the principals asked the treasury department to craft a list of economic officials at the state department began working up diplomatic and the white house pushed the ic to develop more intelligence on the russian operation so obama and his aides could consider whether to publicly call out at this a group of nsc officials committed to a forceful response to intervention started concocting creative options for cyberattacks that would expand the information war putin had michael daniel and celeste the national security top russia were convinced the united states needed to strike back hard against the russians and make it clear that moscow had crossed a red words alone do the there had to be wanted to send a signal that we would not tolerate disruptions to our electoral daniel his basic russians are going to push as hard as they can until we start pushing daniel and wallander began drafting options for more aggressive responses beyond anything the obama administration or the government had ever before contemplated in response to a one proposal was to unleash the nsa to mount a series of to dismantle the guccifer and dcleaks websites that had been leaking the emails and memos stolen from democratic to bombard russian news sites with a wave of automated traffic in a attack that would shut the news sites and to launch an attack on the russian intelligence agencies seeking to disrupt their command and control knowing that putin was notoriously protective of any information about his wallander suggested targeting putin she proposed leaking snippets of classified intelligence to reveal the secret bank accounts in latvia held for daughters a direct poke at the russian president that would be sure to infuriate wallander also brainstormed ideas with victoria the assistant secretary of state for european affairs and a fellow they drafted proposals to dump dirt on russian websites about about the girlfriends of top russian about corruption in united russia party essentially to give putin a taste of his own wanted to raise the cost in a manner putin nuland one idea daniel proposed was the united states and nato should publicly announce a giant against a mythical eurasian demonstrating that western nations had it within their power to shut down entire civil infrastructure and cripple its but wallander and bosses at the white house were not on one day in late national security adviser susan rice called daniel into her office and demanded he cease and desist from working on the cyber options he was get ahead of she warned the white house was not prepared to endorse any of these daniel and his team in the white house cyber response group were given strict stand she told daniel to it he daniel walked back to his was one national security he told one of his at his morning staff daniel matter of factly said to his team it had to stop work on options to counter the russian been told to stand daniel one of top was incredulous and in it took me a moment to in my head i was did i hear that then prieto the hell are we standing can you help us informed them that the orders came from both rice and they were concerned that were the options to it would force obama to want to box the president prieto subsequently it was a critical moment as prieto saw scuttled the chance for a forceful immediate response to the russian hack and keenly disappointed the nsc aides who had been developing the they were convinced that the president and his top aides get the was a disconnect between the urgency felt at the staff and the views of the president and his senior prieto later when senior officials argued that the issue could be revisited after election daniel and his staff intensely the longer you it diminishes your if in a street you have to hit prieto obama and his top aides did view the challenge at hand differently than the nsc objective directed by president mcdonough to protect the integrity of confronting putin was obama but not if it risked blowing up the he wanted to make sure whatever action was taken would not lead to a political crisis at home and with trump the possibility for that was the nation had had more than years of elections and peaceful transitions of obama want that to end on his by the principals were into the discussing in the sit room the specifics of how to they were not overly concerned about influence campaign to shape voter the key question was precisely how to thwart further russian meddling that could undermine the mechanics of the strong other the principals did discuss cyber the prospect of hitting back with cyber caused trepidation within the and the united states was telling russia this sort of meddling was if washington engaged in the same type of covert some of the principals demand would mean and there could be an escalation in there were concerns that the would have more to lose in we got into a on cyber with the it would not be to our a participant later could do more to damage us in a cyberwar or have a greater in one of the clapper said he was worried that russia might respond with cyberattacks against critical infrastructure and possibly shut down the electrical the state department had worked up its own traditional booting russian diplomats and spies out of the united and shutting down russian facilities on american and treasury had drafted a series of economic sanctions that included massive assaults on such as targeting military industries and cutting off russia from the global financial one proposal called for imposing the same sorts of sanctions as had been placed on any entity that did business with russian banks would not be allowed to do business with financial but the intelligence community warned that if the united states responded with a massive response of any putin would see it as an attempt at regime could lead to a nuclear a top obama aide later speaking after two weeks or so of the white house put these options on obama and his aides came up with a different dhs would keep trying to work with the state voting for that to the administration needed from congressional so obama approached senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and house speaker paul ryan to try to deliver a bipartisan and public message that the russian threat to the election was serious and that local officials should collaborate with the feds to protect the electoral obama and the principals also decided that the government would have to issue a public statement calling out russia for having already secretly messed with the but even this seemed a task fraught with potential obama and his top aides believed that if the president himself issued such a trump and the republicans would accuse him of exploiting intelligence or making up intelligence to help the declaration would have to come from the intelligence which was then instructed to start crafting a in the obama would continue to say nothing publicly about the most serious information warfare attack ever launched against the united most of obama and his aides had to figure out how to ensure the russians ceased their meddling they came up with an answer that would frustrate the nsc who believed obama and his senior advisers were tying themselves in knots and looking for reasons not to the president would privately warn putin and vow overwhelming retaliation for any further intervention in the they could more likely dissuade putin than hitting back at this that they believed the threat of action would be more effective than actually taking a meeting of the was scheduled for the first week in september in obama and putin would both be according to this would confront putin and issue a powerful threat that would supposedly convince russia to back obama would do so without spelling out for putin the precise damage he would inflict on unspecified threat would be far more potent than putin knowing what we would one of the principals later his imagination run that would be far more we than freezing this or that but the essence of the message would be that if putin did not the united states would impose sanctions to crater obama and his aides were confident the intelligence community could track any new russian efforts to penetrate the election if the ic detected new obama then could quickly slap russia with sanctions or other but the principals agreed that for this plan to the president had to be ready to pull the obama threatened but never did pull the in early during the summit in the president privately confronted putin in what a senior white house official described as a and the president informed his aides he had delivered the message he and his advisers had we know what if you cut it we will impose onerous and unprecedented one senior government official briefed on the meeting was told the president said to in with us over the election and crash your but putin simply denied everything to obama as he had done blamed the for interfering in russian and if obama was tough in publicly he played the asked at a news conference about hacking of the the president spoke in generalities and insisted the united states did not want a blowup over the had problems with from russia in the from other counties in the he goal is not to in the cyber duplicate a cycle escalation that we saw when it comes other arms races in the but rather to start instituting some norms so that acting white house officials believed for a while that warning had some they saw no further evidence of russia into state election as they would later they largely missed information warfare campaign aimed at influencing the election the inflammatory facebook ads and twitter bots created by an army of russian trolls working for the internet research agency in on the obama administration finally went releasing a statement from the office of the director of national intelligence and department of homeland security that called out the russians for their efforts to with the election saying that officials could have authorized these but for some in the clinton campaign and within the white house it was too too the nsc russia specialist who had pushed for a more aggressive thought the statement was largely russians care what we she later care what we same day the statement came wikileaks began its posting of tens of thousands of emails russian hackers had stolen from john the ceo of the clinton in the some obama officials thought they had played a bad hand the best they and had succeeded in preventing a russian disruption of election others would ruefully conclude that they may have blown it and not done nearly two months after the obama did impose sanctions on moscow for its meddling in the election shutting down two russian facilities in the united states suspected of being used for intelligence operations and booting out russian diplomats and the impact of these

not investigating or penalizing churches for political in the most prominent recent example of a free speech may be the benediction delivered by pastor mark burns at last the most explicitly political

aspiring employees against each other to determine who will best carry out his and who should be on his reality tv show cruz has complete faith in trump the president to do the same thing in he just wishes the rest of the country would give him a people are expecting major cruz said ahead of day in see if he does make some let him make the mistakes or do what he needs to then evaluate as the first president with no political or military clear that trump is learning on the and cruz is insistent that he deserves the he has far less for republicans in the news and even the american people he a civics in somewhat trumpian cruz sees every or controversy of presidency thus far as someone for house speaker paul ryan and other congressional republicans are to blame for the quick crash and burn of the american health care the proposed legislation intended to replace they have a cruz asked of republicans in knew they were going to have the they knew they were going to have the had three months to prepare and they had eight years before that to come up with some though trump not only backed the ahca but promised throughout his campaign to and the affordable care act immediately upon entering cruz faults pretty much everyone but trump for actually expecting him to make it happen so think that people understand the immense involved in overhauling the health care he says echoing his comment that knew health care could be so when it comes to the issue of potential collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government that could have influenced the outcome of the

we need to cruz turn the tv off when i start hearing done before becoming trump made a career of plastering his name in gold letters on buildings around the yet cruz points to the backlash and eventual rewriting of original executive order banning travel to the by residents of seven countries as an example of the president discovering the negative attention that comes his name is on after he the reason executive order listed those specific countries was because of previous issues with the a law signed by president barack obama in anyone who had lived in or visited sudan or yemen since march was required to obtain a visa in to visit the because the department of homeland security had deemed those places of way i see the president has access to secret information that the american

of government he is certain by virtue of holding the the president knows more about going on in the world than anyone he trusts that any decision trump makes is the good of the average he need to realize that know going and probably if we did our lives would for cruz is watching the first few months of the administration play out like a white house edition of former reality tv show in which he

of how the debate will shake up races christopher wilson editor september republican candidate jason lewis and democrat angie craig vie for second congressional yahoo jim ap more as you may have a race this year between a and centrist democratic woman an arkansas and a political a republican who ran against the party establishment with some views and a long history of even we are of about the congressional race in second district between former host jason a sometime substitute for rush and executive angie who if elected would be the first openly gay member of congress from and you be surprised to learn that the race is internal polling acquired by the pioneer press in late august gave two widely different with the lewis survey giving lewis a lead while craig led in her own poll by a it is one of the most competitive house races in the in a district that covers the southern part of a large suburban swath with farmland to the republican john who is has held the seat since but the district voted for obama twice and supported democratic al franken and amy klobuchar in their last two while giving the edge to republican challenger jeff who lost to mark dayton in if you want to attempt to divine anything from the caucuses earlier this marco rubio won percent of the compared with percent for ted cruz and for on the democratic sanders defeated hillary clinton percent to no two campaigns are ever exactly and despite the many parallels with the presidential there are large both political and neither lewis nor craig made an endorsement in the march lewis has a strong libertarian streak after leaving his career as a radio host in he helped found a libertarian social media network called named for the main character in ayn that puts him at odds both with the republican hierarchy and some of he leans toward a noninterventionist foreign policy and opposes the war on which he told yahoo news has had an especially harsh effect on communities of he wrote an entire book on the importance of and while it contains some arguments that could be generously viewed as not mainstream such as proposing a constitutional amendment to allow states to peacefully secede from the union it shows a philosophical side that been much in evidence in in a minor the is running on her business background and outsider which she says will enable her to work with both sides of the she often quotes saying that political courage is the ability to work with those you disagree with to accomplish what you do agree her positions include opposition to the support for veterans and fighting opioid what can we learn from all this that will help make sense of clinton perhaps the most interesting question is how voters will view long history of colorful including calling the victims of hurricane katrina and denouncing an entire section of the young for caring only about gay marriage and he has claimed is cultural by not having enough children and his views on gay marriage involved a strained comparison to slavery long before he knew he would be in a race against who is married to a his views were denounced by the deputy chair of the state republican party and by the outgoing who endorsed businesswoman darlene miller but lewis won the endorsement of the gop convention in may following the sixth ballot and won the primary in defeating miller and another candidate with nearly percent of the donald trump and hillary clinton are introduced during the presidential debate at hofstra university in on david more much of this record has been gleefully mined by his lewis told yahoo news that he believes all of the attacks have been taken out of and in the case of the first ad put out by the craig a local minnesota news station at least partly agreed but at times he has seemed to want to have it both he has said that being provocative was part of his job description as a radio whose success depended on but he backed down from any of his my opponents understand is that i actually believe this said lewis in a december edition of his say things and i write things because i hold them near and not about to walk when your opponents say you said this or mitt romney said the bottom half of taxpayers chipping in betting that you will run away from your heartfelt i and the difference in this but as provocative as he can be on the as a candidate lewis has avoided personal he has called craig good but members of his party been as in a facebook post promoting a gop a goodhue county republican official shared a photo of family that referred to her wife as a marriage the photo was next to images of the families of republican lewis told minnesota public radio that family and private lives should be craig was raised by a single mother in an arkansas trailer she graduated from the university of and after a stint as an education reporter at the commercial she entered corporate she moved to minnesota in to join the medical rising to head of human resources before stepping down to focus on the she announced her campaign even before retirement and had cleared out the primary field early with a series of endorsements and fundraising her campaign has enjoyed support and joint appearances with klobuchar and house minority whip steny lewis has called positions for the second citing her endorsement by the congressional progressive but her platform is fairly mainstream for a democratic politician in the new democrat a group that describes itself as fiscally responsible and also endorsed new democratic coalition basically understand that the private sector business is where jobs are said craig in an interview with yahoo who i am from a fiscal point of on the other the progressive caucus is very focused on issues like who i so i believe the perfect fit for a purple district like where the preponderance of voters are more socially progressive but fiscally how will all this play in district has changed enormously since john kline was said larry a professor of political science at the university of was able to get mostly reelected by comfortable margins not but mostly based on his personal reputation and bond with the district has become much more evenly when you look at the largest county in the dakota and that has seen an influx of voters who are college a more diverse and started to see democrats doing when lewis won the the cook political report moved the race from the category to jacobs also sees craig as a better lewis is quite and quite a great guy to have a conversation said he is much more conservative than that while the republicans have put up a candidate not a good fit for a district become more the democrats have put up a candidate from the business running on issues of fiscal socially a much better fit for that so far craig has released three two biographical and one a compilation of some of controversial national democratic groups have already sunk hundreds of thousands of dollars into advertising in the district to get the former talk radio words back on the for his lewis thinks attacking him on his old quotes could backfire on the democratic knows no ronald said there was an expectation created of him in leading up to that he was this horrible commentaries on the they dug up and people would see him and seems like an ok guy to seeing a lot of they tried to paint this but people know been on the radio then when people who know me meet they are the i think getting a little benefit from think if you look at the desperation of the campaign they think in a good but going to outspend there are two factors that add to the difficulty in projecting this minnesota register voters by so no way to tell which way new voters of the second are and this is just the second congressional election following adoption of absentee voting which lets anyone vote early by this would in theory increase which would in theory help but impossible to tell for the craig campaign said it has partnered with the local official name of the democratic party in office on the early while the lewis campaign is relying on the local republican party for that in addition to the fundraising the democratic congressional campaign committee told yahoo news that the craig ground game has been one of the best in the nation this there are variables at the candidates will have at least one and the possibility that even more offensive comments will surface from radio also the chance running her first campaign and a relative novice will make some sort of but that would be a departure from her consistently polished performance thus a tight said allow myself to believe that the favorite in this because i think this race is going to come down to a or i think going to be a close i hope wrong and voters give me this job by a wider but i want to behave as and i believe this is going to be a close so now you know everything about the campaign in second except the two things that matter who will win and what that result will tell us about the bigger campaign also going on in america right how big debate win could actually wind up hurting democrats clinton at the presidential debate at hofstra university in julio more by andrew romano every poll taken after big debate between hillary clinton and donald trump came to the same clinton according to cnn percent of voters declared clinton the winner versus only percent for trump a a separate postdebate survey from public policy polling gave a clinton and even whose former executive chairman now runs found that clinton outperformed the republican according to nate silver of big win suggests that gain in polls over trump in the coming days but how will the hofstra debate affect as of tuesday reactions and responses from senate and gubernatorial candidates locked in tight contests were few and far house speaker paul ryan wanly praised energy but most other republicans especially the electorally imperiled ones have been nothing from new hampshire kelly nothing from pennsylvania pat nothing from florida marco and so the bottom line is that there are very few gop candidates who want to talk about even on one of his good days and yesterday was not one of his good democrats have been more but only keystone state senate challenger katie mcginty posted a series of tweets attempting to link toomey to the gop catherine cortez the democratic senate candidate in warned of the of a and retweeted elizabeth remark about trump and on the debate stage but other such as ted strickland and patrick have yet to weigh not every dem is making his or her race a referendum on others probably prefer to wait for the conventional wisdom to fully crystallize before jumping into the plus still expect more reactions later once reporters start questioning the candidates at their public a word of for democrats and encouragement for according to the latest research on presidential coattails commanding victory could wind up hurting democrats more than it helps robert erikson a professor of political science at columbia is an expert on public opinion and in a recent erikson looked at the house vote in the presidential election from to he found that for every percentage point that a presidential candidate gains in the his or her candidates gain almost half a point this suggests that if clinton rises in the postdebate candidates will rise as the only erickson also discovered a countereffect called idea here is that in some voters may tilt toward the opposite party of the candidate they believe will win the white erickson told the washington may do this to balance the ideological makeup of if the going to be a for maybe a republican congress can help keep them in like the coattail balancing can be by looking at the effect on the house vote of the preelection odds that the democrat would win the erickson found as the odds went the democratic house vote seen as a certain winner rather than a certain he penalizes candidates by about controlling for other this suggests that the more confident voters are that a democrat will become the more likely they are to vote for in other win might boost democrats a little but if it makes her look like got a lock on the white it could ultimately boost republicans an earlier version of this story stated that craig supported an increase

politics and draw some perspective on human affairs from the calming rhythm of the except that all anyone on the beach seemed to be talking about was a certain loudmouth and all the surf shops were selling america great and all the kids were building sand castles with walls around even the clouds overhead seemed to assume a certain trumpian shape this like wispy drifting out to it brings me no pleasure to report that trump has achieved his ultimate goal in life of his which is to become the most unavoidable human on the when it comes to his lesser objective of actually becoming success is looking more remote if last year gave us the summer of then this is the summer of even as i sat on the in what was supposed to be among the least eventful weeks in any presidential trump suggested that some gun lover might just have to assassinate his then managed to push that controversy aside with an accusation that president obama literally founded then said he was only being then said not that then declared himself the victim of a media last part would have been more convincing had trump not premised his entire campaign on exploiting media for free without which he would by now be back to the business of pretending to fire contestants from pretend all of which brings me back to this question of why republican leaders in washington continue to stand with already made the both seriously and satirically that their endorsements are morally unsound and reckless for the it seems to me that on a purely strategic where the future of the party is the approach is making less and less easy to see how candidacy might put you in an impossible position if running for reelection to the senate new hampshire or you really win if you antagonize either trump loyalists or trump so you start to say stuff that makes you sound going to help trump become president so i can then thwart his joke this is exactly the desperate logic that kelly new poor junior tried out the other see how that my favorite new entry in the by the comes from mark the always interesting south carolina who wrote in a sober this week that while he supports he remains deeply troubled by the refusal to turn over his tax let me get this ok with him sort of banning muslims from the or attacking a judge for being of mexican or accusing the president of organizing or hinting at the necessity of political or mocking the or not knowing the first thing about the nuclear check and but holding the line at him not disclosing his effective tax because just leaving all that focus for the moment on paul the nominal leader of what used to be called the republican establishment in before the trump family staged its shareholder in concert with fellow republican leaders mitch mcconnell and reince seems to be that anything is better than trump after brought legions of new voters into the republican fold this and a powerful lure for if you reject all the thinking you risk inciting a new wave of divisive and potentially calamitous primaries in house and senate probably not going to win in november and party leaders want to be able to move on with an intact party and maybe even an energized but let me offer an alternative way to look at because it seems to me that this strategy ignores everything we know about political movements fueled by a combination of rage and what republicans should have learned from the tea party uprising is that you really appease or absorb these kinds of their guiding principle is to upend party which is why john boehner is home in ohio despite having twisted himself like a yogi to avoid alienating the angriest new ron voters become party neither did ted and ryan could spend every one of the next days campaigning for and new voters would still walk away looking for ways to blow up the status or else walk away from politics what they do is suddenly see the wisdom of responsible governance and run down to the local party office to see how they can help reelect their on the other by not more explicitly renouncing increasingly appalling ryan and the others may well be fumbling the more genuine opportunity to expand their more and more and particularly younger are wary of party mainly because they suspect rightly that leaders too readily subvert overarching interests to their own partisan this at the a much larger problem for republicans than it is for according to the latest data from pew only about a third of the public sees the republican party democratic number is more than points if as the ranking were to finally say enough is enough whatever the consequences to himself or his he could no longer endorse candidacy and hope to teach his children anything about decency and public service at the same time then he would send a powerful signal to those be saying that conscience still exists in which is exactly what cruz got across in his convention and betting it serves him if you want to know what standing on principle does to your credibility with look at john kasich in he pointedly declined to endorse trump or attend his convention down the and his approval rating is near percent while other governors are i ohio look anything like the rest of never trump may yet have a surge in not saying he but it sure looks like the ship is going and if you have to ask yourself how you want to be viewed when you step before the cameras

more on wednesday supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh offered answers for the first time to questions about his personal finances that had been prompted by significant and loan debt noted on his judicial disclosure explanation of his finances is not consistent with earlier explanations from the white questions have lingered since shortly after nomination was announced in july and reporters digging into his public record found that financial disclosure forms showed tens of thousands of dollars of fluctuating credit card balances as well as a loan against his retirement account for the years before all of these debts disappeared from financial disclosures in and the forms did not indicate an obvious source of funds to repay prompting speculation about potential conflicts of in white house spokesman raj shah offered an explanation of the debts to the washington that kavanaugh had purchased season tickets to the nationals for a group of putting them on his credit card near the end of a year and collecting reimbursements the following that along with some resulted in the large balances that appeared on his disclosure shah emphasized that credit card balances were transitory and that he had discontinued the practice in did not carry that kind of debt year over shah told the before his hearings last kavanaugh and the white house declined to answer any further from reporters and senators about the no senators asked about financial situation during the televised but democrats on the judiciary committee submitted several detailed questions in writing released on contradict the white house account in many important the we carried some personal kavanaugh referring to himself and his but he denied that the debt was related to the baseball tickets in the way shah had described which would have amounted to loaning his friends the cost of their tickets until they got around to reimbursing kavanaugh says he signed up for years of nationals season tickets when the team moved to in am a huge sports kavanaugh he split up those tickets with he still declines to through a ticket draft held at his kavanaugh in the group paid me for their tickets based on the cost of the to the no one overpaid or underpaid me for no loans were given in either white house deputy press secretary raj carolyn more the white house account implied that kavanaugh had in effect loaned his friends the cost of the tickets for at least a month or while he financed the expense on his credit kavanaugh did not repeat that after this story was a white house official called to say the account of the baseball ticket arrangements is not in conflict with and the washington post report from july the new account revives questions about overall financial and suggestions that he lived beyond what he could afford on his relatively modest income as a federal circuit court the version told by the white house in july had addressed that but had the drawback that it struck many observers as strange to imagine that a man of comparatively modest means would put tens of thousands of dollars on credit cards to buy baseball the david graham wrote at the many also noted that season tickets simply expensive enough to explain such significant and the friends who supposedly were part of this arrangement have never been identified or come new story about his credit card debt has the advantage of being far more allowing for the fact that it paints shah to put it many finances are a balancing act of it is eminently believable that the kavanaugh family ran up substantial personal debt on their credit cards while they were trying to juggle living on a salary and bearing the expenses associated with climbing the ranks of washington including membership in a ritzy country club the new story no longer involves an account of a federal judge incurring credit card debt for unnamed but it is notably missing the facts and figures that would allow others to verify its for all its explanation renews some of the serious concerns that initial account a federal judge and his wife were saddled with a credit card burden in they did carry year over year a financial anchor from which they seem to free themselves for nearly a dozen anyone with the experience of carrying a significant credit card balance knows the pressure that revolving interest at high rates puts on a how much interest did they ultimately have to how did the kavanaughs manage to stay afloat during lean what deals and if did they make to do perhaps the most concerning how did they in to make all that debt go examined the new story still does not provide a certain answer for how kavanaugh repaid his credit credit it contains an unexplained written answers without stating that the source of funds for repaying his credit card debt were significant annual salary increase for federal and substantial award in the wake of class litigation over pay for the federal a case decided in resulted in a pay increase and back pay for federal judges that started in salary should have increased that year by per year starting in january and he should have received approximately in back pay as a lump sum in as according to a question posed to kavanaugh by richard blumenthal of credit card debt problem was not solved in in after declining somewhat from to credit card balances increased dramatically during both and reaching levels in higher than they had been for a the credit card balances finally vanish in the infusion of funds in also had no discernible effect on the balance of the loan kavanaugh had taken against his thrift savings which does not appear to decline until three years in written answers suggest this loan was repaid with regular deductions from his rather than all at the reported balance in bank accounts increase or decrease in or even though kavanaugh should have been depositing bigger paychecks and a lump sum if for some reason kavanaugh waited until to use his infusion of funds to pay down his credit where did he deposit all that money in the neither disclosure forms nor his written explanation contains an what accounts for the continued increases in kavanaugh credit card debt after we have no certain if repayment of his debts is not directly derived from the infusion of money he received in where did it come one possibility is that kavanaugh extracted some equity from his through a refinancing or a second maryland real estate records reviewed by yahoo news reveal that kavanaugh refinanced his home in and and neither refinancing increased the face amount of the that appears to rule out a in there is no record of a second mortgage or home equity line of credit on the brett watches the major league baseball july patrick more another possibility is a wealthy written answers state that he has not received any financial gifts from than from our family which are excluded from disclosure in judicial financial disclosure did his parents or other relatives pay off his a gift from family appears to be the most plausible answer that is consistent with written nowhere in his answers does kavanaugh confirm this seemingly harmless family help could also explain how kavanaugh raised the down payment for his million home in in his written kavanaugh attributes this down payment primarily to the thrift savings plan according to disclosure that loan can only have provided up to of the approximately in cash that would have been how did kavanaugh raise the other his bank accounts show the declining balances normally associated with making a sizable down the funds might have come from his or maybe he put it on his credit sheldon tom roll more the strange details in disclosure and the white implausible gloss on fueled rumors throughout the summer of a darker explanation for significant debts some including these rumors were given some limited substance during the hearings when democrats released and circulated one email in which kavanaugh apologizes to his friends for aggressive after blowing still another dice sheldon whitehouse of rhode island added fuel to the fire by asking kavanaugh several highly specific questions about including whether he had sought treatment for a gambling and whether he had had debt discharged by a creditor for losses incurred in the state of new in his kavanaugh flatly denied that he had ever sought had such a debt or accrued

democratic opponent wendy davis by points during his race for governor three years she trounced him here in the rio grande valley by a margin as high as points in some it was a disappointing result for who had visited the area dozens of times more than davis and more than any republican before him trying to make inroads with an electorate that is heavily an issue that is personal for his a

longtime gop campaign hand was less circumspect though he declined to be named to speak more is from the land of george bush and rick who both ran for he think looking at the white house right now and thinking he can do so much a former texas supreme court justice who spent years as the state attorney general before becoming has the strict conservative credentials that many republicans used to require for those considering higher office at least in the days before and he already has close relationships with the koch brothers and other heavyweight conservatives who were viewed as republican kingmakers before unlikely campaign for president upended the campaign and shook up the what is telling is that abbott did not seem so outwardly surprised by though he had endorsed ted a close friend and political ally who had worked for him as solicitor general in the gop abbott did not criticize trump in the way many others in his party perhaps because he had already been embracing issues that came to animate surprising political including calls for stronger border a crackdown on sanctuary cities and efforts to limit the resettlement of syrian refugees in the while efforts to deliver on those campaign promises have been caught up in a mix of politics and legal wrangling in abbott has continued to push forward with little raising the idea that vision for america may ultimately be implemented by state executives like not the white in abbott signed a law banning sanctuary which threatens local officials not only with stripped state funding but jail time and removal from public office if they do not cooperate with federal immigration known as the bill also included a controversial provision that allows law enforcement officers to question the immigration status of people they similar to executive order signed earlier this year that sought to strip federal funding from sanctuary the texas law has prompted a flurry of including lawsuits from local governments including four largest san antonio and but unlike which has been blocked by the courts and is currently under the law abbott signed is set to take effect on barring interference from the abbott has seized on other issues that have been championed by trump and energized his conservative he has argued against the resettlement of syrians and other refugees in his state though as governor of texas he can do little but complain about what is largely a federal and echoing abbott has decried what he has described as voter across though only a few cases have actually merited prosecution so earlier this a mexican national from fort worth was sentenced to eight years in prison for illegally voting in the and the who is a permanent resident and cast her ballot for republican candidates including texas attorney general ken who prosecuted her said she believed she was allowed to vote and simply made a but abbott pointed to her case as proof that fraud is real and will be punished in the state of on some abbott is further to the right than trump though unclear whether he is there out of personal conviction or the fear of being outflanked by other prominent texas that includes lieutenant dan a fiery former talk radio host and tea party conservative from houston who is the tonal opposite of the more restrained who tends to operate with what a friend describes as a their differences in style has led to even from that abbott has allowed patrick too much control of the agenda in people close to governor insist he is not but some also acknowledge the pressure abbott has faced in keeping up with a party that has moved further and further to the biggest challenge for abbott right now is the danger of getting flanked on the and he knows a close ally of abbott the atmosphere just keeps getting more and more you think we can get anymore and then we and so he just has to keep going that to stay ahead of the abbott this week convened a special session of the state legislature to tackle unfinished business from last including the championed by patrick that seeks to restrict which public restrooms transgendered texans can the bill is modeled after a controversial law passed by north carolina in and partially repealed by officials there earlier this year after widespread including from the national basketball which pulled the game out of abbott initially seemed to try to stay out of the fray as patrick promoted the which like the north carolina has sparked threats of including from the national football league and dozens of corporations who have threatened to relocate jobs but he later signaled his support for the when who is head of the state failed to reach a deal with state joe the moderate republican speaker of the the governor called the state legislature back to with the bathroom bill as one of the leading agenda abbott has said the bill is necessary to clarify state law because of mixed signals from the federal but some in texas have wondered if there are other political motivations at that includes persistent rumors that patrick had considered a primary challenge against abbott next year something who has announced his own bid for has repeatedly the texas governor launched his reelection bid against the backdrop of the special session in what seemed to be a move to raise his public in a threatened to publicly shame republicans who break with his suggesting he might campaign against them next year a move that was cheered by his most conservative become more active on social media including facebook and twitter like he seems to be trying

said dave a new political operative who worked for rick perry before he signed as a senior advisor to on the abbott has been urging voters not to be in his announcement speech and later to supporters in abbott also cited concerns about an increasingly energized democratic base in texas pointing to win over hillary clinton in the smallest margin of victory for a republican presidential candidate in though they have worked hard for years to make inroads into what has unquestionably become one of the reddest states in the many texas democrats believe their party is still far from winning back

observers cite changing voter including a growing hispanic population that is expected to outnumber anglos in the state within a few and the influx of new voters from states like drawn to texas by lower taxes and strong economic but abbott attributed the results to outside forces like george soros and house democratic leader nancy pelosi the familiar bogeymen for the right whose mere mention elicited loud boos from the think they have found cracks in our abbott as he a supporter waved a handmade sign that had been distributed by depicting a cannon that and get the next rallying supporters

crashed to the a nearby cadillac was and so was nearly killing he was hospitalized for months and left paralyzed from the waist doctors rebuilt his vertebrae piece by piece along with steel rods in his when abbott tells the story on the he tries to do so with a little telling voters that politicians promise all the time that they will have a spine of really do have a steel the governor disability makes him unusual especially in texas where politicians are known for their but observing one quickly gets the sense that injury also motivates him to demonstrate his will and he operates

lawsuits filed by abbott when he was running for governor in abbott famously described his average go to the i sue the federal and i go but having trump in the white house has made it trickier for abbott to present himself as a relentless warrior against many of the regulations that he filed suit including rules from the environmental protection are in the process of being dialed back by the trump which means abbott has less to complain on the campaign trail and on the he rarely mentions in a radio interview earlier this he offered a rare critique of performance so suggesting the white house needs some legislative like going through the first half of a football game without scoring a he told koke have to start putting some points on the but there are last the state attorney general

careers had to fight for their from kiddie football all the way through high college and the pros had to fight for their competitive and so when someone calls them someone criticizes not in their nature to sit back and say got a few good trump knows this and knows sparking a what done is to recast the issue rather than look at the substance of the he looks at the timing of the if it had during the coin he have anything to hang on but because it happens during the anthem he can go and wrap himself in the flag and claim protesting the protests get criticized unfairly as protests during the a distinction that a lot of people fail to trump knows a winning issue to wrap yourself in the be a football that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and is no place to most of that money goes to the players find another way to stand proudly for your national anthem or be suspended without donald trump august dk does the bulk of nfl revenue go to the jb this is something that is demonstrably nfl players receive between percent and percent of called which includes all sorts of game from television a substantial but bear in mind that players on each divided by the nfl not anywhere near as rich as their baseball and basketball the basic fact of it is that not every player is rolling in money and enjoying a lifetime of financial security the way trump likes to present the nfl national anthem debate is alive and well again believe it in contract that players must stand at hand on the commissioner must now make a first time out for second time out for donald trump july dk a lot of fans believe that in the contract that he must stand for the anthem and place hand over is there any truth to jb the nfl has no specific language mandating that you must the code of conduct says that you are to it been an issue until the nfl think to mandate and require it like the nba not a fireable not a finable the nfl has tried to make it that this teams were facing fines if players stand for the but that change hit so much backlash that it has been tabled for the there is no rule saying players have to a loophole in the nfl regulations that the league has not yet dk the league has also shelved the idea that players might simply stay in the locker room during the playing of the do you think the nfl regrets getting into this fight to begin jb where the players are standing the league is the owners are terrified of trump and his and they they should be able to stand up and say are the most powerful sports league in the we are signing record we recorded record and they are so petrified of trump coming at them that they are doing everything they can to try and appease you cannot appease the president no matter what you say for and then take some and what doing with the they make attempts to change rules and he says not good enough and goes back to slapping them down for the nfl is the perfect foil because a very low high reward sort of he have to risk any political red meat to throw to his dk the president has singled out declining nfl which he attributes to player ignoring the fact that television ratings in the era of streaming services are declining across the but does he have a jb the overall ratings in were down less than overall decline for broadcast tv as a audiences are down for every kind of broadcast absurd to think that the protests during the anthem have caused all you need to do is look one sport look at where everybody does stand for the anthem and a their ratings are down there are so many reasons for the ratings but the protests during the anthem are certainly not a primary contributing dk do you think trump holds a grudge against nfl commissioner roger goodell and the league dating back to his purchase of the usfl team the new jersey generals and his own failed attempts to own a president donald trump speaks during a ceremony on the south lawn of the white house in april where the president honored the super bowl champion new england patriots for their super bowl li more jb a thousand he absolutely he attempted in the to try to get the nfl to buy out the a rival spring football and was he was largely responsible for the lawsuit that ended up demolishing the usfl vaporizing and more he tried to buy the buffalo bills and was trump carries these slights as he has never forgotten being spurned by the nfl on multiple so he revels in the chance to stick it to them any chance he dk where do think this battle between the nfl and trump will ultimately jb i think going to keep going until one of the owners steps up and this is what this is where we and then take the blast from trump for a little bit longer and then go and find something else to also going to require the teams and the players to get closer why the nba can have its players stand for the anthem and not the nba allows its players a whole lot more freedom in terms of free saying what they want both on and off the the nfl wants its players to be automatons who just go out and play the game and have no other the nba recognizes that these are men that have a whole lot of political interests outside of if the nfl can make that kind of leap in its perception and give players a little bit more freedom and then i think the protests themselves would go read more from yahoo inside next keep the house to save trump why qanon has gained traction

mail explaining how the white house cleans up after a tweetstorm christopher wilson editor yahoo news march donald trump entered public life on the strength of the lie that barack obama was born outside the united states and ineligible to be and even after disavowing it at the last possible moment of his presidential trump has continued to say things for which to put it as generously as possible there is no discernible as a private he was rarely held to account for anything he and on twitter which by its nature lend itself to nuance or elaboration he could drop bombshells as he saw fit and move but as he is at least in principle responsible for what he tells the american and he has an entire staff of white house counselors and spokespeople to justify and explain away his attack the credibility of his critics and deflect additional nothing necessarily novel about it was richard press ron who took back a year of lies about the watergate burglary with the airy is the operative the others are but for the trump white defending the claims has required some particularly advanced rhetorical the difficulty for the administration officials begins with the fact that the president bases his messaging as much around what watching on cable news as he does on any sort of strategy or policy the white house even have a communications director whose job is to coordinate the messaging until nearly a month after the in the rocky first few that role was filled by press secretary sean whose performance reportedly displeased trump early one of favorite fallbacks when challenged is a variation tweet speaks for as if the firebombs dispatched in response to and segments or breitbart stories require no further also leaning on more traditional washington such as simply refusing to answer a such as this example when asked about whether the president would apologize to heidi cruz during a white house q from is trump going to apologize to ted heidi cruz at dinner bradd jaffy march the one thing spicer has not done is admit that the white house made a even if it requires him to deny the plain meaning of something the president perhaps the most conspicuous example is this blaming obama for releasing prisoners from guantánamo who returned to the vicious released by the obama administration from have returned to the just another terrible donald trump march confronted by the mathematical truth that the great majority of those prisoners were actually released under president george spicer said trump in totality the number that had been released on the under both as if he were simply clarifying completely unambiguous he passed up a invitation to vice president mike pence has been attempting to deal with questions about the words since trump accepted the former indiana pitch to fill out the republican often going with a mike be strategy that put pence at odds with the top of the pence has also leaned on his evangelical background to spin some of more controversial one example is his response to the leaked tapes in which trump made a series of lewd comments about after which pence said that trump showed in his apology and deserved pence has remained active through the transition and start of the in a december interview with abc george pence suggested that trump stating things he believed to be true without offering evidence in this the claim that millions of people had voted illegally was to the american his right to make false continue reading his right to express his opinion as of the united i think one of the things refreshing about our and one of the reasons why i think he made such an incredible connection with people all across this country is because he tells you on his but why is it refreshing to make false i know that that is a false and neither do the simple fact is i know no evidence for there is historic evidence from the pew research of voter fraud taken in the process of investigating irregularities in the state of indiana that were leading up to this the fact that voter fraud exists but can you provide any evidence can you provide any evidence to back up that i think expressed his opinion on and entitled to express his opinion on and i think the american people i think the american people find it very refreshing that they have a president who will tell them on his and i think the connection that he made in the whether true or going to tell them going to say what he believes to be and i know that always going to speak in that way as pence echoed those comments in february when defending use of the term think the american people are very accustomed to this president speaking his mind and speaking very straight with said pence spicer and pence are far from the only two voices attempting to clean up the there is a small army of cabinet and there are former campaign surrogates on cable news programs and white house staffers at the one advantage for the trump surrogates is that they generally only have to dodge a single issue for a few weeks before their boss drops another requiring a different test of the pliability of the consider three claims from the president that would be massive news stories requiring intense government and media scrutiny if millions of people voted thus invalidating potentially hundreds of races across the country there was an imminent national security threat that required his executive order restricting travel from seven countries former president barack obama personally ordered an illegal wiretap of his campaign the problem with all three statements is that been no legitimate evidence offered to support any of state election officials republicans and democrats alike have unanimously disputed allegations about the magnitude of voter in lieu of the white house announced it would form a special commission chaired by pence to investigate illegal that was in early and thus been limited movement on the fraud investigation with a pence spokesman telling npr last week that the vice president was doing the necessary millions of instances of voter fraud should be the biggest story in the but because so many other purported issues have cropped up since the travel the wiretapping the fight over health care been another white house advantage is a seemingly inexhaustible reserve of people to throw at the each the administration has found a new face to feed to the sunday morning shows each delivering questionable on january the second full day of kellyanne conway coined the term in her attempt to defend statements about the size of the crowd at the trump after mockery about the use of the term it only got worse for who managed to couple the citation of a nonexistent green in multiple interviews with a potential ethics violation by plugging ivanka fashion the string of missteps continued when she said national security adviser michael flynn had full confidence of the hours before flynn mika brzezinski said conway was no longer welcome on the show and cnn also cut back on her appearances with credibility apparently the white house dispatched policy adviser stephen miller to the february sunday his performance was viewed so poorly in some corners that sean hannity and joe scarborough got in a spat over the criticism with the msnbc host calling miller on every the critique came about tactics on the which was essentially to double down on everything the president had said and talk up the power of the executive when asked by abc news about claims of rampant voter miller insisted that it was essentially a known secret in some can tell you that this issue of busing voters into new hampshire is widely known by anyone worked in new hampshire said very very this on this is not the venue for me to lay out all the when pressed about the miller tripled it is a fact and you will not deny it that there are massive numbers of noncitizens in this country who are registered to that is a miller appeared on a sunday show although the president tweeted that he had done a representing this meant another surrogate was forced to draw the shortest of straws this month after trump accused obama of ordering a wiretapping of the campaign with zero the white house turned to sarah huckabee deputy press secretary and daughter of former arkansas mike tactic to defend the accusation was to cite a number of mainstream outlets and say that they had already confirmed what trump had the only problem was that none of the cited news organizations had actually reported that this tactic deferring to an authority that viewers would conceivably trust might have worked in some but abc martha raddatz pushed back which led to sanders using tweet speaks for let me just say one more the president i bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that president obama was tapping my phones in so the president believes it is i would say that his tweet speaks for itself and i just want to go back again to the tweet one more and sean spicer tweeting today as well reports that potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of election are very sounds like the white house is really doubling down on what president trump says as we if this once this would be the greatest abuse of power and overreach probably ever occurred in the executive and something that certainly what about these you keep the president of the united states said it was a he read a story in or new york or wherever he found out that obama had my wires tapped in trump not an i i will let the president speak for but in terms of where we are in the white our ask his and speaking about it right but backing off of backing off of how am i backing off of it while saying that i think that this happened because saying and i think the american people have a right to and i think that we should get definitive i think we need to put out hard facts that show that this what president trump was clearly doing in those thank you very much for joining thus appreciate just as trump supported miller despite criticisms of his sunday morning sanders was dubbed rising in the administration in an associated press story last conway has been given further and on monday she told not in the job of having evidence when asked to defend the wiretapping trump appeared to have her back tweeting shortly after her appearance that the media had been to his representatives and that do by being if you attempted to describe the white house tactics in bullet it would probably look something like hope that there are enough stories in the mix that you never have to defend individual claims for an extended period of time rotate voices as others potentially lose credibility rely on the traditional respect afforded to the occupant of the oval and say that trump obviously must have a good reason for anything he says argue that even the most outlandish claims had already been confirmed by other outlets or are common knowledge say that the american people love that the president says whatever is on his regardless of what saying when all else ignore the fact that speaking for the president and say that words and especially his tweets speak for even if they secretary of homeland security john who was interviewed by cnn last week about the obama wiretapping perhaps best expressed the view that the

political stakes here are higher than many pundits seem to because the latest immigration clash between california and trump just about california and also about the broader constituency the president

public affairs and of the polling and research firm latino tend not to vote in midterm people tend to vote so what will the presence of a president like trump in it will narrow that latinos will turn out in higher numbers than people expect and that will make a difference in at least some of these the first data point to consider is the national exit polls showed hillary clinton winning percent of the latino vote to percent a to be but a smaller one than barack obama enjoyed in when he clobbered mitt romney among latinos percent to seeing that and noting that latinos still made up percent of the the same as pundits concluded that there had been no in the only the national exit polls may have been since the researchers affiliated with latino decisions have examined data from new texas and nevada actual tallies of how actual people voted in largely latino as opposed to the expedient sampling released on election which tends to distort minority sentiment for a variety of reasons what found are vast disparities between the exit polling and their more finely tuned in for exit polls reported that percent of latinos backed clinton and percent backed but last francisco pedraza an assistant political science professor at the university of and bryan a phd candidate at concluded that the split may have been more like percent for clinton versus percent for trump latinos vote at a polling station in el gallo restaurant on in the boyle heights section of los david more researchers also discovered gaps in arizona percent for clinton to percent for compared to in the exit in california percent for clinton to percent for compared to in the exit and in texas percent for clinton to percent for compared to in the exit the same goes for new york and florida the bottom line is contrary to conventional clinton probably ran ahead of obama among latinos in key whereas trump probably ran behind this could be part of the reason why clinton came a lot closer to winning arizona percentage and texas percentage than obama did in when he lost those two states by points and it could also be why margin of victory in california was million votes larger than of all that additional latino backing did not put clinton over the top in the electoral which was decided in wisconsin and but that mean it real story is that latino turnout was up in basically every jurisdiction in the says actual precinct vote shows that about percent of latinos nationwide voted for clinton up from about percent in recent those extra nine percentage points are obviously a reaction to which brings us to the first big election of the trump the virginia gubernatorial race was supposed to be and the house of delegates was supposed to remain safely neither prediction panned after a campaign defined largely by trumpian tactics republican gubernatorial candidate ed gillespie ran ads about and the gang democrats won the governorship by percentage points and picked up seats in the a sign in english

denigrating our adam schiff said in an interview with the yahoo news podcast skullduggery think he is doing enormous damage to our national security beyond anything the russians could do to the comments represented a significant ratcheting up of the attacks on president trump and his russian ties that schiff has been regularly delivering on cable tv for the past year and a he spoke to skullduggery at the aspen security forum in the aftermath of a helsinki summit in which trump spoke to russian president vladimir putin for two hours alone with no other american officials in the room

the white house has since walked back press conference schiff said legitimate questions remain about whether the president has been compromised by the that is certainly one very simple explanation for something that seems inexplicable to all of why would the president undermine why would the president undermine why would the president do all these why would the president deny the obvious that the russians intervened in our could be that there is just some pathology at work with that he is so terrified that his election was illegitimate that he is responding in this so maybe a but also quite

about what that does and does not mean as he runs for in the early months of i was a reporter at the new york times and i went to a party at the newly opened wollman rink in central the rink had been rebuilt with great fanfare by accomplished in four months what the city had been trying to do for nine i had interviewed trump once for an article and was somehow invited to this which i attended with my now i introduced him to we all chatted and then bruce went off to get some hot chocolate or after walked trump said there would be an even better afterparty and i was welcome to join but only if i came that memory has surfaced periodically over the past few months as the trump nomination has gone from unimaginable to i kept it mostly to myself for nearly all of that even as i wrote about relationships with the women who worked with and for him over the and even as my article concluded to my own frankly that trump had a record of promoting women to jobs within his organization and of treating them better or just like he treated the in i think perhaps i should have disclosed that encounter when the story was but at the i thought of it as just one data this when the new york times ran its story about similar memories of dozens of other i posted a brief recap of my own experience on my facebook my point my single encounter was part of a by the next that times story had come under fire because the woman in its lead anecdote said been and i came to see my own encounter as one bit of pushback against twitter claims that everything in the times article was ancient or a what then does behavior in and out of the workplace mean for this start with the indisputable fact that trump objectifies not sure why we are even debating that it is clear that looks matter to him and that his own virility is important to his sense of who he this was evident well before the times story from years of trump commenting on which women were a and which ones were hot enough for him to sleep from years of insults about everyone from rosie to carly from his own reassurances on the campaign trail that his genitalia were of acceptable and it is also undeniably true that trump has proudly employed women in positions of power over the back in i wrote about the triumvirate of women who ran major pieces of the trump organization in the and of his boasts back then that he gave women authority in an industry that did his pride extends forward to the where he claims there are more women in executive positions in his company today than continue reading so how to reconcile the the trump who objectifies and the trump that the man himself might lean toward scott quip that the test of a intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to but scholars would point out that fitzgerald was likely being glib and meant exactly the more the disconnect probably reveals that like most of the rest of is a contradiction and a he and he also there are tinges of sexism in the stories of how he championed women at work such as the time he refused to be seen dining alone with an female business associate and asked a one to join the and hints of feminism in his leering his clear pride in the business savvy of his even while noting if she my perhaps i would be dating so is this mashup of mindsets relevant to suitability as of it the argument to the contrary which comes down to everyone from jack kennedy to bill clinton is other leaders have had problems with and that perhaps the best evidence of how deeply it mattered how serial predatory behavior particularly stained the clinton legacy and his ability to govern is the fact that trump keeps bringing it the way he does so an approach to bad behavior around women has a few weak two clear wrongs make anything bill clinton is not running for times have what bill clinton did was clearly unacceptable at the but it is even less acceptable an ironic legacy of his trump clearly recognizes the power of the changed lens and the effectiveness of labeling hillary which looked like that of a hurt wife back then as and things look different decades what makes past actions fair fodder for current is that he has not changed his lens on in real i found his smirking pass to be a little smarmy and not something i ever mentioned to anyone but my husband because it felt a bit like my i was still proving myself in the still macho world of the new york and i was pretty sure this sort of thing happen to my male but i would not have labeled it predatory or harassing because those words were not in my contemporaneous i believe admit i know for that i would have responded differently called him out for his certainly spread the story back at the i suspect what happened with rowanne brewer lane her experience was included in the lede anecdote in the sunday new york times story about how she visited in how trump suggested she don a swimsuit and join him by the then offered a selection of bikinis and paraded her around in one that is a stunning trump she has since said she feel or by and trump has used that to call the entire story a but brewer lane has not disputed the that a man she barely knew told her to put on a bikini and then showed her that she says she mind at the time mean he had the right to act that all it means is that in the context of the she realize which raises the eternal question of whether we can hold actions of the past to standards of the politicians regularly do so when it is the old sins of their opponents are while their own are merely a reflection of the the only real should be and a leader has who has recognized wrong and who has stayed pretty much the when past actions reveal continuity and predict future they are fair and when those ongoing attitudes give permission to others to voice their own misogynistic views the comments sections of articles about rowanne brewer lane from the past few days the comments on this article for then it becomes our obligation to speak trump did not answer my query to his office asking whether he remembered our interaction years but late he sent out a tweet that journalist claims that i a at her years never like the story which has become a assured us on this that her father is a that with his wife assurance to dujour magazine a day earlier that her husband

all this just six tumultuous days into the trump because not since have white house aides found themselves so plainly caught between loyalty to a boss on one hand and personal integrity on the and the questions i have are the same ones they should be asking who here will refuse to keep saying things they know and will anyone tell the boss what he want to face not someone who puts a ton of value on

on the approach to reality is probably a lot like the ethos in hollywood when they tell you something is on a true true as long as a lie only if it but until this we know that everyone who worked for the president in senior roles was going to feel compelled to emulate first the new press sean made a disastrous debut at the in which he berated the media and offered up a series of data points most

that no such anymore as a few days after trump felt inexplicably compelled to renew his allegations of massive voter fraud in the spicer took to the podium again to squander what was left of his this time he cited studies to support the except that none of them actually the word i heard a lot in washington this week was but in fact not what this what george orwell in both and the english and was the kind of statist language with which repressive regimes might disguise their intentions and lull the this is something even orwell spend a lot of time contemplating the official voice of the government citing highly specific figures and sources that seem to have been completely invented at purposely this is our government ahead and disprove nobody will to be as written many times we in the media bear a lot of the responsibility for decades since the advent of cable embraced triviality and turning political coverage into a mix of soap opera and shouting the public trusts us less today than ever and hard to blame and so it was probably inevitable that some figure would come along to exploit that to effectively say his word against knowing that our word as an industry worth a bunch of but maybe someone should remind conway and spicer do it that they actually work for the trump campaign or the trump organization they work for their jobs exist to serve the public that pays and creating for the sole purpose of validating the insecurities in the job even leaving aside those ethical concerns for a something profoundly unsettling about the serial misdirection of this past by any objective trump lacks the governing experience one would like to have in the oval even a lot of the people who voted for him acknowledged in exit polls from election only about a third of the voters thought him qualified to hold the and about an equal number thought he had the right what you heard repeatedly from voters and is this idea that trump knew how to surround himself with all the right old hands and family members all of them were supposed to be presenting him with the right options and keeping him focused on the hard realities of but you have to after this first really influencing if neither conway nor spicer the chief of reince priebus have the steel to tell trump that his facts are fabricated and not going to sully their own reputations by defending then it seems fair to who around here if trump decides next week that copernicus was an idiot and that the sun actually revolves around us is the new cia director going to march out there and show us satellite

running the last days a look at what obama achieved during his consequential how he navigates the struggles of his last months in office and what lies ahead for him after eight years filled with we

and then the way the president sees the presidency not just his tumultuous years at pennsylvania but also the institution and its relationships better or with other branches of government and with the news in this we look at answer to the classic question modern presidents frequently what was your biggest being president of the united states provides immense power and almost limitless opportunities to screw and commanders in chief do screw up in ways large and and the results can be devastating or merely historic or just the focus of an awkward news asking presidents to reflect on their biggest mistake can shed light on how they view the and the of their or how they might approach a future problem that resembles the one they think they handled the question can also provide someone at the apex of american politics with the opportunity to deliver an like the job seeker who makes a show of confessing in an interview that their biggest shortcoming is they are a also important not to confuse with a mistake is something that should have been done a regret might be something beyond even a george bush infamously bungled john question on the among the bush press it became known as dickerson at an april press conference in the east room of the white house the time magazine reporter who now hosts the on stood up and asked then president george bush the last you were asked a question about the biggest mistake made in your and you used to like to joke that it was trading sammy looked back before for what mistakes might have been after what would your biggest mistake would you and what lessons have you learned from president george bush listens to reporter john question during a news conference at the white april larry more a bush communications asked to remember the told yahoo news feel like a tough question in the even though there were obviously lots of bad ways to answer especially with reelection fight that just think you this level of the aide said ruefully of answer could be boiled down to i know made some but think of and certainly not the iraq but he drew it out in a painful wish you would have given me this written question ahead of so i could plan for he to laughter from the press he went sure historians will look back and he could have done it better this or that you i just sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press with all the pressure of trying to come up with an but it bush defended his handling of the invasions of afghanistan and and even seemed to hold out hope that be vindicated on the question of whether saddam hussein possessed weapons of mass and then bush wrapped up his hope i i want to sound like made no confident i i just you just put me under the spot and maybe not as quick on my feet as i should be in coming up with he it fed into all of portrayals of him as out of unable to admit the communications aide even though obama will soon leave the studying his and what if he has learned carries greater weight with forces entangled in the undeclared but escalating war against the islamic also known as when it comes to his biggest critics on the left and right will have their own but the president himself has weighed in on a couple of occasions since he took most recently in an april fox news interview host chris wallace failing to plan for the day after what i think was the right thing to do in intervening in obama replied in an answer to the dickerson question has evolved over and while it have the same as worth some libyans celebrate at saha kish square in benghazi in october following the death of longtime leader moammar francois more in july with his reelection campaign in full obama was asked in a cbs interview to assess his mistake of my first couple of was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy obama he but the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the american people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and especially during tough obama reflected that the doubts about him during the campaign when he can give a good speech but can he you manage the had by morphed been juggling and managing a lot of you the story that tells us where the president think that was a legitimate obama out of this spending more time with the american listening to and also then being in a conversation with them about where do we go together as a i need to do a better job of that in my second hard to imagine an easier crowd pleaser than but not that his answer was obama aides today broadly defend the idea that he got the policy substance right and the sales pitch promote his white house communications director at the start of his second but they acknowledge a certain political in that the answer amounted to what one top adviser recently described to yahoo news as a response one unlikely to dominate a news cycle with talk of presidential weakness or by december the disastrous obamacare rollout trumped the communications obama called the busted website his biggest mistake and took in obviously we screwed it he not that i engage in a lot of i promise i probably beat myself up even worse than you jonathan or news ed henry does on any given president obama hugs outgoing health and human services secretary kathleen shortly after the first of insurance coverage under the obamacare april vice president joe biden and then budget director sylvia mathews burwell look charles more over the past two answer has shifted from rollout to the failure to rebuild libyan institutions after helping the rebels who toppled and killed dictator moammar upon learning of killing in october hillary clinton we we he died in an august interview with the new york obama defended the decision to be part of the coalition that overthrew gadhafi as right thing to and we not likely that libya would be at the same he told the think we our european partners underestimated the need to come in full to rebuild libyan a lesson that i now apply every time i ask the we do we have an answer the day obama without using the obama again delivered a public mea culpa of sorts about libya in his september speech to the general assembly as he did on fox news and in the obama cast the military intervention as the right thing to do prevent a since gadhafi was vowing to massacre residents of the city of obama admitted at the that as we helped the libyan people bring an end to the reign of a our coalition could have and should have done more to fill a vacuum left he america and its partners to recognize that we must work more effectively in the as an international to build capacity for states that are in before they this would seem to be an especially wrenching admission for a president who regularly excoriated bush for the wretched handling of but in an april piece in the based on multiple obama basically shifted the blame for his onto allies britain and i go back and i ask myself what went obama room for because i had more faith in the given being invested in the he he pointed out that nicolas the french lost his job the following and he said that british prime minister david cameron quickly became by a range of other everyone has a friend been in a relationship like in which one person ducks blame by real mistake was thinking too highly of but aides deny that obama was trying to absolve himself for what he privately calls a according to the audience members listen as president obama speaks about libya at the national defense university in washington on march charles more whether or not obama was shifting the burden he has had to draw his own lessons from that country has been locked into what one top white house aide called a step one or two steps dynamic that includes the presence of isis terrorists american airstrikes on those libya is hardly the only problematic country from tenure in and white house aides cite a number of other examples on the the critics often say one of his greatest mistakes was his decision not to enforce his against use of chemical but according to military strikes on forces loyal to strongman bashar assad could have led to worse chaos in beyond even the bloodshed that has left as many as people by some toppling assad without a plan for filling the vacuum he would have they would have risked putting all of syria ultimately under isis dramatically expanding the threat to key allies like turkey or jordan as well as and threatening to pull america into a much wider administration officials also point to ongoing resistance to providing ukraine with lethal defensive weapons to fend off forces in the in their the risk of escalation if ukrainian forces killed russian troops with american weapons is they cite the current deployment in iraq to a lesser in their version of obama held off on all but the most urgent military action sending a small force to protect the embassy in launching airstrikes in syria and intervening to save civilians of the yazidi religious minority who were besieged on mount sinjar by isis forces until iraqi prime minister nouri was pushed from office in once haider seen in washington as a much more reliable took obama dramatically ramped up in this obama again connected a de facto political vacuum to prospects for military success and future men carry a yezidi woman who fainted after crossing from syria back into sebastian via getty more whether these were the right or wrong lessons to draw from libya or the right decisions at all is a matter of heated debate that be settled obama himself may at least partly settle the argument before he leaves or in a few if the experience of his two immediate predecessors is any at his final press conference on bush faced a variant of the dickerson and this time it seemed to catch him in a more thoughtful have often said that history will look back and determine that which could have been done you mistakes i bush but he noted that his may appearance on an aircraft carrier in front of a giant banner the wrong he allowed that of my rhetoric has been a a reference to cowboy talk like wanting osama bin laden or his only reference to hurricane katrina was to criticism of his air force one flyover on his way back to washington from vacation in texas a decision he defended not to the botched government response to the devastating he said it was a mistake to push the partial privatization of social security after his reelection a failed legislative drive that badly damaged his political president bush gives a sign after declaring the end of major combat in as he speaks aboard the aircraft carrier uss abraham lincoln off the california coast on may scott more bush also pointed to the detainee abuse scandal at abu ghraib prison and the absence

mainly because few people in even his fellow even knew who he though he began his political career more than a decade winning a seat on the el paso city he was a virtual unknown in texas and in washington until he launched his race for senate last life story is not a subject that comes up very often on the campaign trail perhaps because not an inspirational tale like the one that cruz tells about his who fled cuba for america with sewn in his looking for a better he was born robert francis and called the spanish nickname for from infancy to distinguish him from his also named though he speaks fluent he is his family was and politically active with deep roots in el his pat who died in was a lawyer and real estate developer who spent time as a county his melissa whom often mentions to voters is a ran her furniture store and is now in real as a yearned to escape from el and soon he though he often mentions to voters that he attended el paso he graduated from an boarding school in virginia and went to columbia graduating in with a degree in english but in a piece of biography that he often does mention spent his school breaks touring the country playing bass with a punk that he founded with el paso after stayed in new living with his band in a factory loft in brooklyn that they converted the was grittier than the polished hipster mecca it has he thought he wanted to be a

young progressive against the democratic establishment and national dems like barack obama and bill but won the nomination and went on to where he has served three mostly unremarkably save for his occasional clashes with party he was among a handful of democrats who mounted a failed challenge to replace party leader nancy pelosi in and voted against her two years as a senate he has criticized both pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer as subservient to wealthy he has called the political system in washington and has introduced legislation to impose congressional term arguing the only way for lawmakers to avoid although his views tend to align with those of bernie stayed on the sidelines of the democratic primary and waited until late in the campaign to formally back so perhaps it was no surprise that consult any party leaders in texas or in washington last year when he first considered running for he began traveling to some of those small towns he believed had been left sounding out voters on whether they thought a democrat could one of the few texas dems he did engage was whom he quizzed about what she had learned from her own failed she told him to blow off especially people not from and to listen to his like she believed winning would require more than turning out democrats and flipping some moderate but looking beyond party strongholds to appeal to disengaged texans who had maybe never cast a ballot in their in texas is a daunting task because almost like running such a big and within like a lot of little each with its own each with its own

usual mechanics of statewide campaigns like fancy mailers and widespread television and radio he plans to spend heavily on ground operations in the state to help his campaign connect with and turn out although the campaign says it already has a robust field operation in over his recent campaign finance reports suggest he runs a campaign operation staffed largely with around the some of his

pausing in the middle to deliver his campaign spiel and take and with the same except on he is charismatic on the delivering speeches more soaring and aspirational than and in the mainstream of progressive democratic in he said the country needs universal health teachers deserve a living there should be equity in public allowing all kids no matter their skin color to get a good women deserve access to reproductive health weapons should be but the controversy over the trump handling of migrant parents and their children thrust him into the spotlight and has added a moral clarity to his message that could play well even in even in a state where most voters support tougher immigration although he has long opposed proposed border insisting there be that kind of barrier between two friendly he went further in calling the child separations and he has appealed to voters to consider their better angels because even though this was the policy carried out by trump the decision was made in the name of united own told the crowd in is moment of truth to we know we know that up to us to decide if this is american or he human life has got to start treating each other like human not not an not something to be walled off or we are not to be afraid of one cruz has attacked for his liberal approach to accusing his opponent of favoring open borders and supporting the abolition of the immigration customs and enforcement known as pressure from his own said in june that he was open to the idea of abolishing the agency but later dialed it back to suggest he would abolish the practices of cruz called it radical and seemed to throw the suggestion that child separations were back at may be popular with democratic voters and radical he said of not not not what we a young supporter at a beto town hall in holly more on the treads carefully in discussing while he readily brings up he typically barely mentions cruz by name unless a voter brings up the senator that has disappointed some of his supporters who want to see a more aggressive at recent some backers have pressed about his reluctance to go on not running against that not running against the president of the united told voters at the town hall in running for running for this seems intent on staying on the prize the aspirational another possible reason for holding his fire on cruz is that need some republican votes in the but the congressman insists his talk about trying to rise above political dueling is more than a he genuinely bemoans the political polarization that has left washington at a got to come together for the sake of the he want to campaign that i want to serve in that never hear me badmouth another i badmouth the sitting junior this has got to be what not who were are pledge to stay positive and aspirational in the race will undoubtedly be tested as he prepares to meet his opponent on the debate where cruz has a reputation as a and it will also be tested by the growing interest of national democrats in the beto at a town hall in holly more democrats need just two additional seats to regain majority control of the and if the texas race remains as competitive as it is party officials are unlikely to remain as hands off as they have that has given the freedom to chart his own course and keep his distance from the rest of the in the rest of texas as well as it has not gone unnoticed that has skipped joint campaign events with valdez and others on the state who would love for some of his star power to rub off on comes across as protective of his brand and his well aware that texans do not react well to advice from he is equivocal about his own growing welcoming the media attention and the celebrity but wary of seeming to enjoy it too asked about how he feels about the comparisons to kennedy and paused for a few guess on some he but to it they were extraordinary politicians who inspired generations of people to public he was just a regular guy running for senate in no way i could be like either one of he but some of his supporters have bigger things in mind for looking beyond in wrapped up his stump as he often by appealing to sense of what will you tell your kids you were doing in they were gonna build a when they were gonna ban all when the press were the enemy of the he want to be able to answer we won this the crowd erupted in wild took the first came from a man in his question is have you considered running for he the crowd erupted again in wild the man stood less than feet away from the congressman and spoke his question clearly into a but pointedly dodged the pretending not to hear it or deliberately misinterpreting think the question is about the consequences of somebody being the junior senator for texas and running for he reminding

the elite received high marks in some has eclipsed its senior civilian and not a good trend at said retired army don a special forces officer who led africa special operations component until june needs to be put in its little heaping fewer counterterrorism and counterinsurgency missions on special operators might give them a respite from the relentless cycle of combat deployments but could also consign the most elite units to the niche role they held prior to lawmakers now think the size of the special operations force and the scope of its missions have expanded beyond the ability of special operations command to handle according to close believe that socom does not have the management capability to manage the force that the nation has said a former obama administration response has been to strengthen the pentagon office that oversees special operations forces at the expense of the military headquarters in in part by requiring socom to transfer funding for about to personnel to that which is known as the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and a congressional staffer said that in the view of the expansion of special operations forces has outgrown ability to manage largely because of the number of missions the pentagon has placed on the elite have sof being used for everything under the because the supermen of the the staffer special operators assault a simulated terrorist building in an sof capabilities may in brian more most recent effort to improve oversight began with the national defense authorization which directed that the assistant secretary become a part of the administrative chain of command for special directly between the defense secretary and the socom and stated that the socom responsibilities and authorities were now to the direction and of the assistant together with other the shift in authority made the assistant secretary position more like civilian heads of the navy and air but to the frustration of the defense department was slow to make the arguing that the assistant secretary lacked enough people with the right skills to oversee the special operations and that a hiring freeze made it impossible to expand the that led to the defense authorization bill requiring that million of personnel funds be used to pay for additional civilian staff for the assistant the money will pay for to said a former senior special operations critical to these efforts has been the positive impression made on the senate armed services committee by the current assistant owen a former marine the committee have confidence in his ability to do his job then they be pushing this as the congressional staffer but while most observers say congress is empowering position at the interpretation of the current socom army tony is that making the assistant secretary of special ops more like a service secretary means that his command should be treated more like a and the socom commander like a service according to two wants to turn sof into a said adding that he had heard from two people that thomas had said this at a meeting thomas and his staff held with marine corps commandant robert neller and his staff at thomas could have his sof would become a be a service secretary for be the first chief of staff for bolduc robert commandant of the marine testifies on capitol april jose luis more socom spokesman navy jason salata declined to discuss comments made in a closed but the congressional staffer said that making the socom commander more like a service chief is not what lawmakers have never heard anybody on the professional staff or any staffers from the personal offices say the staffer the bill also calls for west to conduct comprehensive of socom to ensure that special operations forces are prepared to counter future the review represents the start of the effort to reorient special operations forces away from the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency missions against jihadist militants that have dominated the national security discussion since and to refocus them on threat countries like north korea and said the congressional department of defense and congress may be moving in a direction that slashes special operations resources towards counterterrorism because the as the national defense strategy is on said seth director of the transnational threats project at the center for strategic and international the challenge for policymakers is to find the right balance between the continuing missions against groups like the islamic state and the on the one and irregular warfare against because the former going there are still reasonable levels of jihadists operating in and somalia as well as iranian proxy forces like lebanese jones adding that he would be concerned if the government slashed special operations and intelligence resources devoted to those is way too early to be declaring jones but lawmakers are increasingly aware that special operations forces are said the congressional has a pretty good understanding that sof writ large has been used way beyond its capacity and probably beyond its intended job the staffer adding that a lot of special operations missions could be done by conventional troops or local are starting to think about how do we more judiciously employ sof and are there some missions that sof is currently doing that somebody else could or that maybe need to be the staffer have it both said a retired special operations officer who retains access to special ops commanders and staff have rested and highly competent and highly trained if all the time looking at six months later going back to the secretary of defense james mattis testifiying before the senate armed services committee in win more some special operations units are quickly coming to terms with the notion that the priority of their counterterrorism mission may be according to jonathan director of the special operations program at a nonprofit research and analysis cna is helping them about what role they might play in he senior special operators are concerned that if they cling too tightly to the type of mission they have been doing since they will lose relevance as that threat recedes in according to he said a senior special operator had recently told him that really worry about sof becoming to counterterrorism what kodak was to wet the past years of special operations in much an said the former obama administration not going to stop existing but at the same time not as existential as it once it falls to defense secretary james mattis to balance the competing demands on special operations so he has pretty that while he expects special operations forces to contribute to the shift towards preparing for he also wants them to a pretty hefty on a former senior special operations officer counterterrorism missions in for us maintain influence with those he a balancing not going to wholesale drop the counterterrorism be marginal other observers said a more dramatic shift may be in the an attempt here by congress to look at the larger bolduc has just become too defined by counterterrorism over the last years and less defined over

joseph dunford who is to make dramatic reductions in our in some said the former senior special operations chairman of the joint chiefs of staff marine joseph dunford during a pentagon may win more one such region is where wishes have been reflected in planned reductions to the special operations the former senior special operations officer force patrick a spokesman for said that while the pentagon was and military investments across the in light of the national defense has been no direction at this time to adjust forces operating in any combatant reorienting special operations forces to focus primarily against would mean mixing training for niche tasks in conflicts raiding iranian or north korean nuclear for instance with preparing for irregular warfare operations such as partisan missions behind enemy lines in the event of a russian invasion of a nato actors almost certainly are going to focus more on irregular warfare because the costs of conventional or nuclear war against the united states are going to be jones the russians and the for your primary method of competing is almost certainly going to be irregular the renewed focus on threats might also mean that special operations forces play a less prominent part in future the the role of sof may be shifting from the tip of the spear to merely the supporting entity to conventional jones it help cause that neither the defense secretary nor the joint chiefs chairman is viewed in some quarters as a big proponent of special operations dunford and the old marines and they really care much for special said the former senior special operations strongly rejected this dunford has always had a great deal of admiration and respect for the unique capabilities and experience our special operations forces bring to the fight every day around the he suggestion to the contrary is absolutely false and a pentagon spokesperson did not directly address questions about view of special and instead pointed to the national security strategy and the national defense an unidentified marine crouches at special operations command landing helmand march kyle more by shifting focus and directing a review of roles and congress is also attempting to alleviate the organizational and personal stress the force is is a distinct feeling that the socom folks are getting grossly overreached and said a retired special operations are real human costs to said the congressional concerns about the effects of years of war on special operations forces were one factor behind language in the defense bill requiring the defense secretary to conduct comprehensive of the professionalism and ethics of special operations said a former senior special operations the other factor was a series of disciplinary episodes that caused lawmakers to question whether there was issue with sof such that special operators feel like they have to play by the the former senior special operations officer these incidents include the drug issues that bedeviled east coast navy seal units earlier this year and the june death of army special forces staff logan melgar in for which two seal team operators are being investigated he

they followed the this argument gave me some my own judgment was based principally on rhetorical which seemed to me but it was also true that a candidate could theoretically propose drastic policies to deter potentially dangerous visitors like building a wall on the mexican border and shutting out refugees from countries at a higher risk of terrorist infiltration while still believing in the essential value of controlled trump in claimed to strike exactly that in an interview with the conservative website newsmax just after the he lambasted mitt idea of as a lost everybody who is inspired to come into this trump said democrats have a policy for dealing with illegal but what they did have going for them is that they about what we know well into first year in is that my instinct here was attitude toward immigration really all that or all that and up to republicans to decide whether their party still stands for anything beyond the reactionary worldview he i say this not just because the president decided this week to eliminate special protections for immigrants who were brought here as while i think policy is i find his reasoning entirely trump is right that immigration policy is better made by an functioning congress than by executive which is bound to be temporal and therefore destabilizing to everyone it obama probably and have been thrilled to sign reasonable legislation that protected these if only congress could have passed anything that required the slightest really no good reason that majorities in congress get behind a bill that both shields children raised in america and provides some added money for border if stand forces the parties to do exactly then deserve some credit for putting the onus of lawmaking back where it but that decision be viewed in you

relatives to the country and that opened borders to refugees from not talking about potential terrorists or drug mules tunneling under the desert in the dark of talking about the kind of immigrants

provocative kid in a philosophy seminar whom every other kid wants to toss out the library lectured reporters on the history of the statue of he pointed out that the words now enshrined in our

first white by a long shot to dismiss the american creed on immigration as a piece of i know how ancestors ended up in guessing it on the the mounting body of evidence here is pretty trump is not a guy who resents illegal immigration because unsafe for the country and unfair to the immigrants who embrace our laws and ideals and who give up everything known for their trump is a guy who resents he is a his america first actually means his story about combating furtive outsiders who steal jobs and menace communities is a simplistic story meant to arouse passions and his aim to restore order and but to incite disorder and fear to harvest cheap adoration from those who fear the this is long before he ever ran for trump made a crusade of falsely attacking it only because he was trying to fuel

to set its own standards for auto emissions under the clean air act predicated on the fact that california has set its own emission standards since the days of hot rods long before the federal government established its the epa needs to approve waiver request routinely and its denial would have significant consequences outside of the state because additional states have opted into its stricter mary the head of the california air resources in detroit on uli via zuma more yahoo news reached out to nichols earlier this month to discuss these the following interview has been lightly edited for length and yahoo why is it important for california to have the ability to set its own mary california has fought for the ability to set more stringent standards because of our recognition that air pollution is a more severe problem here than it is in many parts of the a very large we drive a buy a lot of cars and use a lot of we need to do everything we can to minimize the impact of that on health and the there has never been a direct assault on sovereignty like experiencing this is really why does the trump administration want to get rid of emission there are two one is the current administration sees itself as in opposition to at least the majority of legislature and people on a whole variety of this is one of the most but also a deep ideological view on the part of some of the people trump brought into the administration that they believe anything we can do here and greenhouse gases should not be regulated as air the law even though the supreme court has determined that epa should regulate greenhouse gases under the clean air leadership on this issue is in the hands of a lawyer at the department of transportation who litigated on behalf of the auto they lost it twice in district courts and never got a ruling on the court of they believe that if they went back to court with their new judicial appointees that they would have a chance of reversing that a jerry talks to california air resources board chair mary nichols and california attorney general xavier becerra as they walk to a news conference to discuss a lawsuit filed by states and the district of columbia over the trump plans to scrap vehicle emission standards may in rich more been on the inside and the outside of the is the fact that filled the epa with fossil fuel industry insiders an anomaly or have we been down this road one of george chief advisers had been the chief lobbyist for the auto and there have been numerous times people who had careers in the auto industry had been appointed to positions inside so in this case a matter of degree of their willingness to turn their back on existing law and interpretations and to not even pretend they are interested in clean air or public do you think fair to say that the judiciary has acted as a bulwark against the excesses of the executive branch on environmental issues in the trump federal court recently ruled in favor of new credits affirming the right to make its own decisions around generating i would put it a little bit always relied on the courts to uphold legislation where congress took a more progressive position on environmental issues than the going back to at been necessary for public interest organizations to sue administrations to force them to do things that just seemed politically too hard but were necessary for environmental protection and that congress had told them to a little bit of a nuance the courts can be a bulwark against an administration that just refuses to follow the law and they can also be a prod to an administration being they are a necessary this fight over ability to set its own emissions standards has heated up over the past where are we what should we expect we actually have pieces of litigation going against the trump administration over a variety of environmental on the emission standards for we only have one at the we challenged a determination by scott pruitt when he was the administrator that the standards adopted under the obama administration were not feasible although that decision actually do anything other than set in motion a repeal effort but we thought it was important to put the flag down from the very beginning because we think he had a factual basis for making that important for people to know that as of those standards are in in other a proposal been released by the trump administration that would eliminate waiver and roll back the but they have not actually done anything what are some other threats to air quality that keeping your eye on that might not have gotten enough a number of every time you turn something one that concerned about are their efforts to not enforce existing air quality involved in some litigation about their refusal to take actions that are required to enforce the standards for the effort to undermine the use of science by restricting the kinds of science that epa is allowed to look at when deciding what to regulate or how strictly to they have an effort underway that would prevent the agency from considering the benefits of one type of regulation it had been approved for another from california leaders secretary matthew california air resources board chair mary nichols and california attorney general xavier becerra talk to the media on in gary more an example of the best example of that would be where they think we look at additional benefits for regulations that were enacted for dealing with global they think the impact of greenhouse gas reduction regulations should be confined to global but any given regulation for that is going to be pretty considering dealing with a worldwide how should that be our position and if you have a regulation that limits emissions from oil and gas the legal authority for that regulation comes from dealing with the impact on global but adopting that regulation will also have benefits for air water toxic but not allowed to consider those benefits when calculating the costs and benefits of the just one more way of trying to make it difficult if not impossible to make any progress on these environmental and the united nations just released a special report showing that time is of the to the to avoid a worldwide global warming needs to be limited to degrees celsius degrees above preindustrial but on course to exceed this within it said climate change an urgent and potentially irreversible threat to human societies and the one thing i should point out is that litigation is oftentimes slow so that even if you win in the it may take years to get a decision from a court because of briefing schedules and the general way the process is designed to not make anything happen very while the courts are important to us and relying on them in the long we could certainly have four years in which no progress is made even under laws and regulations that are already on the books if the administration refuses to carry them quite a bit of this slow walking going do you have any hope that be able to make the changes in time to avoid the direr consequences of manmade global warming in the decades to i have hope because i believe that between the cities and states in the united states and elsewhere and many in the private sector who have come to believe global warming is a threat to their their seeing changes

house on friday was a major setback in his first real test as a good moment to take stock of lessons here are this is a blow to but not get carried the defeat is not a mortal wound to disregard the chicken littles who describe the health care failure as the of trump has only been president for two there is plenty of time for him and for republicans to learn their regroup and but the admission of house speaker paul that the united states will be with obamacare for the foreseeable means that unlikely republicans will repeal the affordable care act any time if at during the next two they had a limited window of time to do this for complex procedural and because of insistence that they do it trump wants to move on to tax which means that they do health care reform this and unlikely want to touch such a controversial topic next when every member of the house is up for as for trump and relationship which was rocky at best during the presidential trump gave ryan a vote of like speaker he worked very he a house republican leadership aide president and speaker have a solid he knows ryan worked his butt off to get these president trump talks to journalists in the oval office of the white house after the ahca health care bill was pulled before a carlos more trump lead from the because he have a clue what he was and it cost nobody knew health care could be so complicated trump famously said five weeks after his the new president did not grasp the process of passing a health care the politics or the trump is notorious for scorning and so he provided no leadership on what the bill should look like at the front end of the leaving the entire venture to who will also come in for plenty of criticism for drafting a bill that was widely criticized for its incoherence even by some of the close ezra klein documented all the ways that trump repeatedly made statements about what the health bill would do promises that were completely at odds with what was actually in the and yet trump continued to push ahead for a law that contradicted his very goals for health care insistence on rushing ahead also complicated the ryan and others in congressional leadership had preferred to focus on a process that dealt first with and then with trump the only impatient many members of congress wanted to do both at the same fearful of political blowback if they passed a bill that would kick millions off medicaid even if that would be delayed without an answer for what would they would do but no question that trump pushed congress to both repeal the aca and replace it on a timeline that was wildly out of touch with on trump told the new york times that he expected congress to pass a repeal bill some time next and to replace it quickly or very shortly trump vastly underestimated the challenge involved in passing any major much less one devoted to health because of he created expectations that forced republicans in congress who painstakingly built consensus last year around a replacement bill through plan to try to rush a bill through congress that quickly attracted failure to win over conservatives was both inexplicable and ryan spent all of creating consensus about how to replace the in a widely praised then he rushed the actual legislation through the without trying to win over conservative groups and lawmakers in one ryan had to hurry because trump was announcing to the american people that repealing obamacare would be done and because the process necessary for passing its known as budget reconciliation also meant republicans had to be done with health care before they moved on to tax but the resistance of the conservative house freedom caucus and outside groups like heritage action hurt the rollout of the bill from the and it never ryan and gop leadership probably should have done more to try to win them over ahead of but on the other there was never an expectation that they would be able to win them over no matter what they that heritage action was going to and the establishment press was going to run to them and cover you get around grover president of americans for tax told yahoo news two weeks ryan noted friday that it is going to

to tax said josh a former chief of staff to senate majority leader mitch president trump earlier in the day carlos more so is looking a lot like jimmy carter several journalists have noted a number of similarities between trump and carter many of which have been on display during the battle over health but the comparison goes only so carter and trump both ran as washington and against the political
