Patience that they are going to get what they are waiting for in the end. i think thats what is missing. you have a majority of americans that dont trust the president but that begs the question of do they fire certain people that were responsible for this disastrous rollout. some people say that might add to the chaos because think about the confirmation process which would be incredibly problematic. now theres an opening with the trust gap from republicans saying this is maybe an opening for u...

>> i think some are secretly relieved. and the good -- the way paul ryan is handling this is hes being an ally of leadership without being an official member of leadership. so hes able to move the conversation away from obama care and bring conservatives along because he has strong political capital on the right and thats important for boehner who sometimes has a trust gap with his own right flank. >> just on this point, very quickly. i have learned last year that they did a survey, frank lunts ...

The center, they stay silent because of pressure from that block, pressure from the conservative movement and talk radio, and other interest groups on the outside. and so that little group is a little group. theyre able to force john boehners hand and really shape the conversation day in and day out on capitol hill. >> and finally, robert, given just the basic lack of trust that were describing for john boehner, that sort of really hampers him, are there any republicans on his side who may be ab...

Bridges that trust gap, that kind of fills in some of the doubts people have about him, chris, but i think thats an extraordinarily hard thing to do. i think its unlikely hell be able to do it and if someone said i wonder if he is even going to try. my sense is that its just not something that romney or his advisers think he does effect live and i think they believe they can articulate the case in a little more detail with a little more repetition, that might be enough. i really think the big qu...

president obama today paid tribute to americas war dead, laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns, he then spoke at the vietnam veterans memorial on the 50th anniversary of their bloody conflict. and milt romney led a tribute at the veterans memorial center in san diego. it was a somber break from the election campaign, but politics has a way of seeping into one of the most somber occasions, dan lothian is standing by, but first lets go to cnns dana bash. and a slight political unde...

Huge gender gap that pen fits the president or a trust gap that benefits mr. romney. a big trust gap on foreign policy that benefits the president. if we look at it, its a complicated picture, is that what youre telling us about the better, stronger, faster, that its come claitt. >> there are multiple narratives. we have vast disparities. in north carolina, tdakota, the unemployment rate is 3%, in nevada, its 12%. were making federal policies on both these places. i was out in toledo, the bigges...

When you talk to the folks many them are still doing the best they $the troops are over there feeling like they are training people individually but that is at a small what we call tactical level. if you teach one, two, 20 or 100 to do well the problem is, we talking to the wrong people. the real issue is the sectarian divisions, the war lords and taliban. and nothing we do training up a few members will equip them with what they need in terms of logistics and financial backing and the ability t...

There, and i know that there are a lot of those -- i would bet that there are some of those in the gulfç who are torn. is this a good thing or is it scaring people away so theyll buy even less shrimp and wont come visit? thats their day-to-day economy. >> and political pressure locally saying thing, good? right you dont want to wave the flag and say, this is the most devastated part of country. >> exactly. dont come. >> antonia, will you stick arou around? i want you to talk about if there is ...

Social conservatives but authentic conservatives they have a trust gap. >>neil: you think newt should go? >>guest: if he would have dropped out and we are very good friends santorum would have put michigan in the win column and ohio in the win column and he would have beaten romney. >>neil: assuming all of his votes go to santorum. but even if some of them went, the narrative would be very different. do you think it is too late for him to do that? >>guest: it is not too late for voters in illino...
