on cnn. it's good to see you. >> thank you. >> so i want to ask you just about the because it's a one-year anniversary really within a few days of this president in office. >> right. >> aside from neil gorsuch's appointment which is a win, how would you rate his first year? >> well, i think this year has been good. you have to understand nobody gave him a snowball chance in hell to get where he is. the republicans certainly didn't believe he could make it and when he beat all of the 11 other rivals, the republican party had their mouth opened. they were just stunned. and then, of course, he goes into the election against hillary that he would win. so when he wins, he comes into the office with a republican party, very cool for him kind of reluctantly halfway, not even halfway supporting him.
