>> i have to ask you, where did you get those glasses? your glasses do not look like theyre prison issue. >> well, theyre not. these glasses are a favor because of the fact i have trouble seeing to be able to eye the needle, but i leave them here. i cannot take them to the dorm. theyre only for use here and i have to turn them into the office before i go back to the dorm. >> sometimes they have problems seeing, just reading, or especially with sewing. they have to do small stuff like threading a...

For secretary of state, so perhaps a bit of personal interest there. but have you ever seen anything so public? and of course there are comments from kellyanne conway earlier in the week. >> ive known newt for 30 years and ive always gotten along well with him. but its really deplorable to use that term -- maybe i shouldnt use that term what hes doing. >> there are other members of the circle that are publicly criticizing -- >> but he thinks romney defeated him. romney did defeat him in 012 and ...

Treasury department or their defense department would look like. >> and you would see the markets react which is the one thing trump is trying to avoid. he likes the fact that the markets have responded positively so far. that is a vote of confidence. but again it is the threading of that needle which is how do you keep a populous message going when the things that youre doing are not any of those things that you would say you would do. >> and when do the supporters start ask have i been sold a ...

>> i think this is the new normal. i dont think there is a realistic chance that donald trump is going to shut down his bi business entirely. it is personally porimportant t him and his children. well have to have this new president threading this needle every step of the way, it is going to be challenging because for example, if they do a real estate deal in a foreign country, does the foreign buyer over pay for that real estate deal. is that a private attempt of a sitting president of the unit...

Rights and freedoms abroad. usually that message is going the other way, but thats the reality. so, you have the community with their response. what does that mean in terms of threading through economic impact? >> well, what i hear in all these messages is pretty please, lets not start a trade war. lets not have a global tariff world that ends up tipping the u.s. into recession at a time when global growth is already tepid and that was part of the election story here in the u.s. a lot of economi...

Argument is because it helps down ballot republicans. pat toomey in pennsylvania, richard burr in north carolina, kelly ayotte in new hampshire. making that argument helps them as well so for paul ryan its a win-win. he doesnt have to say trumps name by name but he can say i voted for the nominee. still come home and vote for republicans. >> on paul ryan, we know the house freedom caucus had this meeting today and there have been other names floated. folks who could potentially go up against him...

Its the e-mail servers, or these memos that show that when it comes to the foundation, the government role, and their pocket, theres too much threading across all of these that theres stink there. what do you say? >> well, i -- i get perception. but i think its important to stay focused on reality. the reality is that the clinton foundation has done incredible work around the globe and gets very high scores from independent watchdogs on charitable organizations. on the other hand, the trump foun...

View of him. >> kelly ayotte has to spend a lot of time threading the needle. she didnt like donald trump personally. she supported him and didnt endorse him and called him a role model and said after the tapes came out, she just couldnt support him anymore. thats the big question for us. what difference will that make for her race. we will see with the poll that came out at 90% of trump supporters, 90% of people who supported trump still supported kelly ayotte. somebody will say i am voting for...

As somebody who has been a staffer at the rnc, been in the building, communicated and been privy to these conversations, what goes through your mind when you see and hear about what paul ryan did today and the reaction that were getting so far? >> i think paul ryan is threading the need the best he can. the presidential race is over. we are now in the worst case scenario as republicans, where donald trump stopped the bleeding last night, but too much blood had been lost. so that race is over, bu...

Trump loses. and the reason why you havent seen the republicans totally back away from trump, refuse to endorse him as a candidate en masse. like paul ryan, mitch mcconnell. they believe that he loses, starts losing by ten points in these key states, theyre going to lose these key seats. people like kelly ayotte in new hampshire. rob portman in ohio. even though rob portman has done a pretty expert job so far of threading the needle and maintaining his lead in new hampshire, but theres also pat ...
