[laughter] my book, which i have here, a standoff who published describes how that happened. you have to know that we have a constitution that enables reebok. the constitution has checks and balances and visions of power. if you have different parties competing, it can be entrenched in different branches of government. it doesn't work right, it doesn't work too well right now, because we have republicans control of congress, republicans control the white house in a republicans control the supreme court and most state governments. president trump is discovering, even if the republican party

bush. his biography is incredibly impressive. he was a war hero, was shot down over the pacific, played baseball at yale, had-- had almost every significant job that there is to have on the republican side, both in domestic and international affairs, but he was not an incredibly charismatic person, was not a great campaigner. he was certainly beatable. - then bush goes into his-- his convention. it was in new orleans that year, and it was pretty close to a disaster for bush. his vice-presidential pick was dan quayle. dan qurile was--was widely culed by the press and was seen as a joke, a ghtweight. there was a lot of speculation at that point that dukakis is going to just march his way and that poor, poor george bush will never be able to make it. - this is where the role of lee atwater grows. lee atwas very skilled, you could say, in the dark arts of dirty politics. - you know, he was the guy that was running bush's campaign, doing all that stuff. - so lee atwater was able n create a parallel campa where all the dirty work is be

bush and that was the war in iraq.he when george bush left office he thought there was going to be a stay behind force of between five and 10,000 troops and ther was a vacuum. obama comes in, pulls out every single troop and george w. bush didn't say one word as things got worse in iraq as he predicted. itit t was certainly true that president cheney said something. president bush didn't say a word . ronald reagan retires, doesn't say a word. george w. bush goes to robert, texas, doesn't say a word. jimmy carter, bill clinton, barack brock obama never stop talking. that's a different perspective between republican and democratic presidents. >> austin he may have a point i seems to be the democrats. >> i don't think that's quite accurate.as >> what wasn't accurate? >> donald trump is in the sense that barack obama did not mention president trump by name. president trump, you know who h was talking about. >> , trump takes that from president is all campaign was built on personal insult of his opponents.ot >> okay that's not the issue with all due respect. we are talking about a preside
