there s genuine outrage and dismay about that. i mean the fact that carl icahn, one of his, i suppose, close friends that he talked about on the campaign all the time has now felt it necessary to disassociate himself from trump, and i think once we get over this story that we ve been concentrating on tonight and this important story about steve bannon leaving the white house, this story of trump s comments earlier this week is not going away. democrats in congress will make sure of that. i think we in the media will continue to shine a pretty bright light on it. there are a lot of republicans who want him to repudiate those comments. well, one of the most bizarre developments this is the beginning of the fallout, i think. one of the most bizarre developments about the bannon situation is what the president seemed to be saying and doing this week could only be tailored to the most specific and virulent part of his base. they could be the only people open to this suggestion that
kkk and nazis and people who showed up to protest them. i still can t believe that is something we have to say and that that s something that happened and the president saying they were very fine people who marched at a rally organized by the kkk and nazis. there s genuine outrage and dismay about that, and i mean the fact that carl icahn, one of his supposed close friends that he talked about on the campaign all the time has now felt it necessary to disassociate himself from trump and i think once we get over this story and this important story about steve bannon leaving white house, this story of trump s comments earlier tseek is not going away. democrats in congress also make sure of that. i think we in the media will continue to shine a pretty bright light on it and there are plenty of republican who s want him 0 repudiate those comments. this is the beginning of the
never reached out to democrats, and this whole thing, this whole health care disaster is really it tells a story of trump s first 100 days. it s a story of missed opportunities. also, unmitigated chaos and dysfunction, and it validates sort of the harshest critiques of republicans that they are great at protesting, great at lobbing bombs, but not very good at governing, and that was illustrated, you know, in a very humorous way today by freshman congressman from florida who said i don t even think we could pass a mother s day resolution in congress. that s going to be a very, very big problem for the republican party going forward. is there a lesson to be learned here possibly by the republicans that we do need to sort of coax, work together with the dems to move things forward or else we re going to be stuck in the same place that we re at right now? i think it s a rosy description. really it s a bit of revisionist history. there s a dramatically different
let s look at the trump map. here s what they re putting out. the real identifying difference is going to be background states, denoted by yellow on this map. notably, if you look to your left, you ll see those two yellow squares have red in between. that s utah and arizona. everybody else has those as background states. but the headline is there are a lot fewer background states than, say, compared to the cnn map. put up the cnn map. all right. so cnn has there being a lot fewer. 4 to 12. trump says there s a lot more in play. david gregory, when you look at this map, you know, one of the headlines is they say utah and arizona are very much in it. they say you have 12 states up for grabs as a posed to four that people like cnn are saying. assuming it s just based on quanti quantify kags and calculation, how do you see it? i don t see how they get there.
