He said, while it needs to make changes, he also added that it should not come at the expense of its core mission. Democrats should not waiver on our core beliefs and principles. The belief that we should have an economy that works for everybody, not just a few. The belief that america at its best is inclusive and not exclusive. Reporter he spoke from experience about how the oval Office Changes ones perspect e perspective. He will find shaken up pretty quick because reality has a way of asserting itself. Reporter the president cited the case of obamacare specifically, when president elect trump has promised to repeal and replace while preserving certain elements of it.

Are you going to just kick them off and suddenly they dont have Health Insurance . Reporter the president made the same case for deferred action for childhood arrivals. The human consequences of deporting young people who are brought into this country by their parents through no fault of their own takes on a new perspective from the oval office.

Its running the operation so the right people are getting in front of the president , giving the president the right advice at the right time. And then privately advising the president. Reporter trump has chosen steve bannon as chief strategist and white house counsel. Kellyanne conway considered to be a possible white house spokesman cast bannon as part of the mainstream despite his role with the alt right movement.

Reporter despite such assurances, west wing veterans and students of its workings predicted trouble between two such different men and warned against the creation of rival Power Centers at the down of a presidency. Donald trump got elected with a pretty Broad Coalition of perspectives and views around the country. So all of that needs to be reflected in the white house. But i think the white house runs well only if there is one chief of staff clearly in charge. Reporter they interviewed all the living chiefs of staff for his book. From watergate to iran contra to the war in iraq to the rollout of obamacare, the chief of staff makes a difference between success and failure.
