Dealing with benghazi and the former fbi agent who said he saw a quid pro quo to cover it all up? i'm going to get on the benghazi e-mail. i'll double down, triple down on it because it gets to clinton's chief problem, which is trust. it gets back to benghazi and puts clinton in the role of having to defend the bureaucracy, that easily targeted word -- washington. so mr. trump, if he's listening now or listens to anyone any time, he should stick to the smart shot. trying to hit hillary on everything is trying to go to a 21st century media war with a blunderbuss. like elmer fudd going to war wi...

Support for republicans. it is not a monolith. public safety, housing, jobs, health care -- the economy -- immigration is fifth or sixth on the list. so it really gets waved around as kind of this shiny object in the political discussions. it is not as severe as i think your question suggested. >> josh, you wrote about why you are, were, don't know what tense you want to use -- were once a conservative. >> i was a libertarian. >> but you made the argument that republicans need to have a substantive shift on policy. >> right. particularly on economic policy. i think the governor's right that im...
