Figure, a real sort of conservative foreign policy figure from the establishment. there is a camp in his orbit, and i would expand his orbit to his donor circle and the people who were behind kellyanne conway and steve bannon and the people putting him on the edge. then there are some who love this spectacle, heading to trump tower, heading out to city restaurants and making their case for the job. part of the problem with trumpism is a lot of people who cover him maybe werent the view of "the a...

>> it is a fascinating process because it is sort of like "the apprentice" meets "hunger games" meets "game of thrones." the question in my mind is what is he doing with mitt romney? is he really sort of considering this? is there a humiliation process going on here? stepping back one moment, having been critical of the last segment, donald trump has reassured a lot of conservatives with the quality of his choices. these have been solid cabinet choices. there is a couple i would have a quibble a...

And steve bannon and the people putting him on the edge. then there are some who love this spectacle, heading to trump tower, heading out to city restaurants and making their case for the job. part of the problem with trumpism is a lot of people who cover him maybe werent the view of "the apprentice" but this is really how that program played out. mitt romney we all know. rex tillerson, you can pay at the pump. that was a new name that came out today. what do you make of this in wisconsin? >> it...

Well talk about that with my panel now. i dont know. the dinners, the public fighting, what do you think? >> its like the apprentice, like the president of the united states. its really -- the idea, even if you look at the romney dinner, when i first heard about jim acosta, in the middle of a restaurant, hes clearly creating a show for the public, you know, to make this as much of sort of a mystery for us all to follow who is he going to choose. >> i dont know if he knows how to do it any other ...

Change because hell just froze over. saying that he said, look, we never thought this would happen but here i am supporting mitt romney and sort of the same thing. >> let me ask you about donald trump. another theory out here that trump has been frustrated about the lack of respect he got over the years, whether its from major business leader or major political leaders. the ultimate i told you so tour. so hes had major ceos would never give him the time of day and suddenly kiss the ring and mitt...

So, where are we with this dance thats being done so publicly? >> couple things and i spoke to people last night about this after the dinner to try to get a feel for it. first of all, for those inside the room, you know, they did it in a very public setting, of course. you know, which a lot of people say conjures up images of "the apprentice" he is actually auditioning people. my understanding from the dinner it went swimmingly well, better than anyone could have expected. they got along very we...

Because of fact that jobs -- and jobs going overseas has been and had been one of his top issues and because of course his vice president is the governor of indiana. >> mark, lets talk about this last episode and the latest episode of "the apprentice," mitt romney and donald trump meet for dinner. we saw some of it, there he is with reince priebus just right across from where we are at the trump hotel and tower. shocking that he would pick that restaurant. >> keep it in the family. >> first of a...

Is the economic situation, the war on immigrants, the wall. and this is a beginning of his effort to divert attention. he will blame i wimmigrants for illegal voting instead of expelling all of them. i think it will get heard because he will be the president. he will have a republican house and republican senate. and he will continue to look for scapegoats, but it will be hard when youre in total control of the government to explain your failures. >> when the trash doesnt get collected on thursd...
