Joining us now from the sooner state is tom cole, republican congressman from oklahoma. congressman, how are you doing and how do you think, more importantly, at this early phase, how do you think donald trump is doing so far? >> were off to an awfully good start. look, i think hes behaved in a very presidential manner, from election evening, obviously, to his public appearances with the president, and with the speaker yesterday. you know, were pretty giddy, obviously, if youre a republican. i t...
