39
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Trump changing his team a bit and bringing on they

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: had a bright Bart news. Uh what do you make

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: of it, Margaret, Well, it was funny talking with the

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: Clinton campaign yesterday and watching her address, you know, her

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: first audience after the news of this. What they seem

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: to be making it of it is some combination of

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: not very much in terms of a change in their

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: own course or the potential for a couple of new

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: lines of attack against Donald Trump. Now you can say

48
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: that's been and they're possibly terrified of what the abandoned

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: might on weast saw in America. But but what they

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: have been saying, um, is that what they always anticipated

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: it once it became clear that Donald Trump as the

52
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: person they were going to be running against, was very

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: nasty attacks, sort of have blood style stuff, things about

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's past, the dramas from the White House years,

55
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So um, and then there

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: was a sort of brief rest. But over the summer

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: with the rise of Paul Manafort. Listen, the Trump campaign

58
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: where the question was is, man, if we're going to

59
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: tamp down on all of that and try to run

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: a more conventional campaign that will appeal to more centrist Republicans. Uh,

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: he kept trying, Trump kept resisting and sort of slipping

62
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: back into kind of gut instinct Trump and now with

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: what is being perceived as kind of a sidelining of

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Manafort and a rise of Bannon, Kelly and Conway. Um,

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: the idea that that kind of experiment with uh, while modulating,

66
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: influences over and it reverts back to Plan A, which

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: is what they had planned for. So they heard to

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: be taken at their word. And there's no reason for

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign to change course because it'll be the

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: same campaign that they thought they would be running to

71
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: begin with. Margaret, I understand that these people are obviously

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: working for the campaign, Kelly and Conway and Stephen Bannon.

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Do any of them have any history of public service. Well,

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: of course, it depends entirely on how you define public service.

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: But if you if part of the way you define

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: public services, to talk about polling is to talk about

77
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: movement conservatives. No, I mean public service, like public service,

78
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: like either working for the government or some kind of

79
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: public service that is not involved in celebrity or high

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: profile media. It's about their experience is essentially around organizing

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: Republican movements, whether it's mainstream movement or conservative movement and um.

82
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: And Trump's argument has been and will continue to be

83
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: that he's not a conventional politician and he shouldn't try

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: to run a campaign that's divine defined by conventional politics.

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: That if he's elected, wants it's time to govern. That's

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: when you bring in the people with the governance expertise.

87
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: But that when you're running a campaign and it's about ideas, personality,

88
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: got instinct, and that this is the team that reflects

89
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: has got instinct. Yeah, it's interesting how the uh, you know,

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Roger Ailes is now said to have taken on a

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: more active advisory role since he was ousted from his

92
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: job at Fox News. He uh, the timing perfect for

93
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in some sense because Ales has been so

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: strategic about you know, political issues, about about celebrities, about

95
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: so many things that he's put together at Fox News. Yeah.

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: The question for Trump has been and is going to

97
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: continue to be with some of these shifts and the

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of reconstitution or reshaping, rhetorical reshaping of his team.

99
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Is his real challenge one of kind of organization and

100
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: message consistency, or is his real challenge to be able

101
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: to move beyond that part of the Republican base and

102
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: into more of a center, if not a crossover camp.

103
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: So when you kind of draw a circle around all

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: of these folks, around Steve Bannon, around Kelly and Conway,

105
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: around Roger Ailes, um, do you don't traditionally think of

106
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: any of these people in terms of having uh a

107
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: record of reaching across partisan aisles or or even specializing

108
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: in the center. In fact, in the case of Um,

109
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: sort of bright Bart's recent history UM more more of

110
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: an effort to uh kind of push John Banner out

111
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: the door as House speaker, to be critical of mainstream Republicans. Now,

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: what Trump may pick up on the flip side from

113
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: all of these folks is knowing how to run a campaign,

114
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: knowing how to get the most out of a candidate,

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: knowing how to stay disciplined on message, on focus, to

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: kind of see your window. That's what he's hoping. What

117
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign is hoping is kind of coming from

118
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: the opposite end um of the spectrum, which is to say,

119
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: does UH does that consolidate Trump's strength entirely in the basement?

120
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Does it give them UM an opportunity to drive a

121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: wedge into the Republican Party to further that wedge that

122
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: isolates Trump from mainstream or publicans. Can they turn around

123
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: and pick up some of those books, uh? And can

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: they use it to um cospire more turnout or activism

125
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: on the Democratic side. Thank you very much. Margaret tolif
