friendly, extremely open, very interesting here in what we think, so the prospects have all been pretty good. you re exactly completely new beginning. it is a completely new beginning. and you are so right. it s like 79 and 80. thatcher wins in 79. reagan follows in 80. it was a little more compressed here but you had brexit, theresa may, donald trump. a lot of eerie similarities between 79 and 80 and 2016. a lot of similarities. here is the interesting thing, i think. back then, the liberals on the left were governized and there were marches and strikes in the 1980s. yet, reagan and thatcher won election after election after election. they will be looking at that, both the president and theresa may and they will be trying to learn lessons from that. i think we have to make the point there are on huge land mines in all of this. questions how theresa may deals with the president in relation to allegations he may start to
tragedy, she survived and she was resilient. we love that about her too. she certainly was. i think mike made a great point the last hour. a lot of these shows we look back on, i guess it was funny in its time or feels like it belongs in that place. you watch these clips and they are just as funny today and they are just as relevant today as when they aired in the early and mid 70s. she is so funny and cute and hilarious. it s time to stop, paand think about the impact that show, that show particularly had on the cultu of the moment in the 70s. everything was just which, by the way, ill hate to pull everything back to politics. but mary tyler moore, and i ll say his name again, johnny carson, are actually i m going to get killed, i don t know, by everybody when i say this but this is how you get a message to middle america. if you were a democrat and want to know why you have lost middle america, mary tyler moore took
is now president. the president would talk about tax reform and perhaps some of the ideas he may have around energy. i mean, two or three democrats. i know he had feinstein to talk about the supreme court nomination. at some point you imagine the next two weeks the president would find ways to bring some democrats who could be allies and bring the tim ryan s and invite guys over who might want to work with him on some of these issues. hopefully, we see some of that in the coming days. mika, i think that is something that you are going to see at the white house. a lot of people being invited over there. a lot of movement over there. very different than the last two presidents. and, again, more like bill clinton who was constantly working day and night. it s going to be an interesting sort of like trying to keep blaming this on. i mean, the democrats who decide to go visit with president trump, some will not. some will. how much they can actually get accomplished with him and how muc
would waterboard anybody. that is the bottom line. not one, is there? no. and the other point that we haven t mentioned is rex tillerson. he has been very quiet, very cautious. he hasn t had his floor vote yesterday. he is going to be confirmed. we don t know how much of a heavyweight and i expect a real heavyweight he is going to be in that cabinet and i think donald trump is going to listen to him. andrea mitchell, incredible conversation. thank you very much. great to see you. thanks so much, andrew. we love having you on. our thoughts certainly remain with you. thank you. all you re going through. house majority leader kevin mccarthy will join us from the site of the republican meetings in philadelphia coming up. you re watching morning joe. we will be right back. i don t want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there s harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic
meeting to express concerns about the way and means of government. this moved into an idea. how do we now talk to the american people that we galvanize support around our issues. that was their success. i don t see that yet emerging from the left. what is your message? is it an elizabeth warren message or bernie sanders? what about mainstream democrats who are beginning to feel edged out? the same kind of feeling that take lot of conservatives began to feel and republicans felt, northeastern republicans felt as the party moved towards the south. all of those dynamics i think will have to get played out. but the core thing that i certainly was important for my tenure at the rnc was message. we rallied around the idea of fire pelosi and it translated across the spectrum. that s the key thing i think for a lot of these folks. nancy, building on michael s point, is this a way i would imagine these numbers are so big. i understand what michael is
