To accommodate those measures. Well part of what i should underscore, mr. Chairman, from my Opening Statement is as we looked at the inf issue we were also confronting the broader russia challenge and how to respond to it, and didnt think it was appropriate to respond just specifically to the possibility of a new ground launch Cruise Missile in europe, but a broader challenge to european security. So many of the things i outlined are part of a response to broader russian behavior, including the inf violations. Thats my fear. Is that this set of responses that have been prepared a year ago for consideration are now going to get just blend in to the new challenges that we have to face. And were going to get no action on the violations of it the inf treaty.

I think people think we are more polarized, but lack folks have voice getting more of a since obama has
Discuss the possibility of coalescea around a trump alternative and forcing a brokered convention, and in new york state some establishment republicans, socalled, want to have trump banished from the party altogether. This as republican consultant e. Obrien murray, you can tell hes establishment, considering filing a complaint with the party. The message about keeping americans out of our country if theyre muslim and out of the country when he did that on monday shows, i believe, his lack of being genuine in running for president. Lou whatever. The establishment resistance to trump will be met by a candidate that loves a good fight, who has as well overwhelming voter support as we are now less than two months from the iowa caucuses. Trump is still dominating in the polling, all polling. A new cbs New York Times survey shows trump dominating the republican field with 35 of the vote. Trumps showing is improved by 16 points since october. Ill be talking about the republican race with one
