this first year of trump is going to mean for the republican party in the long term, for conservatives? do they have the same home that they used to, or is the party irreparably changed? i think long term, the chances are high that the republican party, it can t recover or is broken apart or this is the beginning of a breaking apart for them. the brand of what it means to be a conservative or conservative republican is kind of lost. and whether conservatives in particular can ever get back to, you know, having a party of their own is hard to know. you have a lot of people like pete wayner n david brooks out there saying i m a political refugee. sounds like you wouldn t say that donald trump is conservative. oh, he s definitively not. michael steele? no, he s not. he s not at all. i agree with jon. i think what we ve seen at the surface is something that s been going on beneath the surface since reagan left office. and certainly it came to a head during my time as nationa ....

so upset about this. especially reportedly saying, giving him advice not to resign, saying that he could weather this. again, this is an accused domestic abuser. right. you have to question kelly s judgment. and, you know, people inside the white house say, look, many of them like kelly, some of them don t like kelly because he silos everything and keeps them away from the president. but one thing most people seem to agree on is that he doesn t have any political sense. and, you know, he doesn t understand political? gloria, listen. no, in terms of i don t want to be insulting. no, but i m not saying on the abuse stuff, but i m just saying, a priori, this is such a terrible thing, get rid of him. why is he even still there after all of this time? that s a good question. i want to get to jim. chief of staff, john kelly, we re talking about him. forward was pretty glowing. and it s sort of odd, a senior white house official told us this evening, don, one of ....
