for some reason not just democrats but george h.w. bush for example was a little into enthusiastic and ended up getting a bad deal too but for some reason, many of our presidents failed to translate what is common sense in any sort of business transaction we might negotiate at a personal level. they don't understand that the same applies between nations and in negotiating with the russians conveying excessive enthusiasm could backfire and that was this piece that i wrote and that was in 2009. and president obama did succeed and this arms control treaty from russia. i would argue that negotiation became prolonged again because of excessive enthusiasm. but with that background i want to turn to the bush administration which has been accused of many things. but have never been accused of excessive enthusiasm for arms control. what was the record of the bush administration. and more than less committed to abollishing the treaty. and also given the security environment that existed at this point committed to reductions in nuclear force levels b

each american president has come into office or in george h.w. bush'slready in office seeking to improve relations with russia, trying to have a more productive relationship. all of these have ended in disappointments because obviously we have a very different understanding of what a productive relationship with russia would look like. what has worked in the past 25 years has been issues where russia feels which we are treating it as an equal and it feels that its interests are respected and our interests and those of russia narrowly define b or coincided. one of those what happened in the fall of 2001, the cooperation with russia in the first phase of the war with afghanistan and russians were very helpful and cooperated with the u.s. because we had very much a common goal. there's more examples. u.s.-russian cooperation in disarming syria of its chemical weapons in 2013. the discussions we had to agreement on iran and the arm's control agreements because in arm's control in general, this is a field, be aware, the u.s. and russia deal with each other a

. >> to paraphrase henry adams, the movement from george h.w. bush to donald trump disproves darwin. it's a remarkable dissent, whether you agreed or disagreed with george h.w. bush politically, he was a figure of enormous public grace and dignity and empathy. he knew how to play politics. he knew how to hire tough people. he ran a tough campaign in 1988. so this is not a case for st. george of kennebunkport. what it is a case for is that this is a man who when confronted by the vicissitudes of politics, he almost always did the right thing and tried to put the country first. >> christa: what do you mean you have drusmg talking about a rigged election with 23 days to go before. how do you see trump in the sweep of history? >> well, i frequently disagree with jon, but i agree on this. this is an amazing, appalling election, and, you know, the idea that you're reduced to the discussion of when did he grope and who did he grope and what did he and it is a true shame for the voters that people are not getting answers to questions like "how might you use

and the movement from george h.w. bushwho was one of the most qualified people to ever run for president to trump is a sign that the party itself it seems to me, has to figure out, how are they going to incentivize experience, how are they going to return to a place where candidates like jeb bush who ran are going to be rewarded for being good at politics as we know them. and this year, being good at politics as we know them, being good at governance was the kiss of death. it seems to me that what the republican party has to figure out is not only what they stand for, but are they really happy with the splashy populous moments that burn brightly, but don't lead to victory at the polls. >> here is a clip from the circus. mr. mckinnon's show on showtime. >> podesta says they've taken on a lot of water. he says most of that has to do with terrible decisions made precampaign. but a lot has to do with her instincts. someone writes back, almost no one knows better than me that her instincts can be terrible. >> wow! >> did that c

this is about as far as from the party of george h.w. bush as you can imagine.t: so where does that put house speaker paul ryan, the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, and the so-called mainstream republicans as they try to maintain control of the house and the senate and figure out where the gop is going next? philip elliott: paul ryan is an interesting character here. he, he always had an uncomfortable and uneasy marriage with mr. trump that, ok, this is the guy who is the nominee of the party. it behooves the republican brand to not have to not lose a third , consecutive presidential race. it would be good for down-ballot candidates if mr. trump's supporters decided to show up and vote for republican candidates for senate and house. that is no longer the mindset inside speaker ryan's orbit or leader mcconnell's. that, they see mr. trump as a toxic figure inside the party that is, that could very much drag down candidates like kelly ayotte in new hampshire, one of perhaps the most endangered republican senators facing re-election. democrats only need to

the president who was good at that was george h.w. bush. i learned about him from his biographer john meacham, james baker, and his white house chief. bush had gone the nomination, and now was his prime time speech. he said six words. read my lips, no new taxes. the convention cheered and he got elected. the tax issue was politically huge. it was a two-edged sword. the tax cuts had been popular with ronald reagan. it caused a rise in our national deficit. after becoming president, bush became painfully aware that he had to do something about the deficit because the rest of the world were concerned about the strength of the american economy with its record level of debt. when the budget talks came along in both houses were controlled by the democratic party who absolutely refused to cut any aspect of spending if you were going to have any money available -- there is only one way to do it. not only was new tax revenue needed to cut the deficit, but the iraqi army had invaded kuwait and so bush saw looming on the horizon expensive military warf

in 1983, vice president george h.w. bush tapped him as his personal photographer, and later appointed him director of the white house photo offices and personal photographer to the president. in his decade at the white house, he shot 65,000 rolls of film in 75 countries and in all 50 states. after president bush left the white house, valdez joined walt disney attractions, but returned in 2001 to government service in the u.s. department of housing and urban development. you have seen his photos. they are iconic and can be found in the world's top magazines and newspapers -- "life," "newsweek," "time," "u.s. news and world report." he was a featured artist representing the united states at the world leaders g-8 summit in georgia. we are very proud that he serves not only as an advisory board member of the marlon fitzwater center for communication, but he is a member of the board for the bristol center of american history at the university of texas in austin. please join me in welcoming david valdez to the marlin fitzwater cen

interesting bit of history, donald trump was interested in the vice presidential spot on george h.w. bush'sicket. did he take that seriously? >> he heard of this from lee atwater, the diary entry is in bush's voice, strange, unbelievable. so no, i think it's safe to say. he promptly forgot about it, i reminded him of it after i came across it in the diary. he was surprised to hear it. >> what does it say that donald trump has gone from, you're not going to get the vp prospect at all, to the presidential candidate? >> this rise of populism, it's cultural and the movement from george h.w. bush, who was one of the most qualified people to ever run for president to trump is a sign that the party itself has to figure out, how are they going to incentivize experience, how are they going to return to a place where candidates like jeb bush who ran are going to be rewarded for being good at politics as we know them. and this year, being good at politics as we know them, being good at governance was the kiss of death. it seems to me that what the republican party has to figure out is not only what th

in august, 1988 when vice president george h.w. bush acce t nomination for president of the united states, he and his campaign had a considerable gap to close and they'd waste little time doing so. embarking on a new era of political aggression, they went on a blitz and by labor day after an onslaught of attack ads, bush was ahead of dukakis. with their race for the white house turned upside down and only two months until the election, the dukakis camp was in major to bolster their candidate. "we must have and in the dukakis administration we will have, strategic forces that are strong and modern and versatile." national defense was one of dukakis' biggest weaknesses and the bush campaign knew it. they went after his inexperience relentlessly so to fight back , the dukakis campaign arranged a photo-op at a general dynamics plant in michigan and on september 13, 1988 with the presre dukakis emerged riding atop a giant m-1 tank. "biff, bang, powy, it's not a bird, it's not a plane, it's presidential candidate michael dukakis in an m-1 tan

george h.w. bush, for all his many, many virtues, simply was not in his -- by 1992.nd so i think the town hall for trump is going to be a very interesting question. he tends, like most salesmen, to try to take on the coloration of the audience to which he's speaking, as jim just said. will he attempt to win that person over, that questioner over and that leads him, as we've seen before in different interviews, he'll assert different policy points. that's a strong term for what he asserts. i apologize. he'll assert certain positions because he thinks that's what that person wants to hear. this may be a very long monday of cleaning up various things that he says to that person in that moment. >> kathleen, what strikes you about this debate that's new or has historical references. >> this is a complex year in which the number of issues in the national stage that the public isn't really deeply knowledgeable about is actually very high. one of the questions about a town hall format is what will the ordinary voters who stand in for us put on the agenda as being important t

when they were both running for the republican presidential nomination, ronald reagan and george h.w. bushgreed over taxes and economic policies. bush called reagan's tax plan voodoo economics. then when reagan won the primary and asked bush to be his running mate george bush stopped accusing reagan's economic plan of being voodoo. he got on board. when al gore and joe lieberman competed in the primaries they disagreed on school vouchers, on abortion, but when gore in 2000 invited lieberman to be his running mate, lieberman started to defer to the guy on the top of the ticket. quote, lieberman defers to gore on matters of disagreement. that's what usually happens. you don't start agreeing on everything, but then one of you wins and if you're the guy who gets asked to be on the team with the guy who won, you agree or you at least pretend to agree that you agree. united front, right? steady waters. that's what they have seen all of these years. that's what we expected last night. until boom here comes a submarine. >> after the russian reset, the russians invaded ukraine and took over crimea

from thebout as far party of george h.w. bush as you can imagine. put paulre does that ryan, mitch mcconnell, and the so-called mainstream republicans as they try to retain control of the house and senate and determine where the gop is going next? guest: paul ryan is an interesting character here. he always had an uneasy marriage with mr. trump. this was the guy who is the -- it wouldhe party be good for down ballot candidates if mr. trump supporters decided to show up and vote for republican candidates in the senate and house. that is no longer the mindset of speaker ryan or mr. mcconnell. they see mr. trump as a toxic figure inside the party that could very much dry down indidates like kelly ayotte new hampshire, one of the most endangered republicans facing reelection. democrats only need to win four seats to capture the majority. it is a very real thing. the republicans have a very large vulnerability for them. paul ryan said over the weekend that enough was enough. uninvited donald trump to speak in his own congressional district. he invited mi

you could argue that dick cheney did that for george h.w. bush after his bad debate in 2004. showed bush losing debate 2004. he lost it convincingly to john kerry. you could also add that a fired up joe biden did it for president obama. so your number two can help you out. they might even save you after you stumble out of the gate. and that is the predicament right now for the trump/pence campaign. in the past week, multiple polls have confirmed the instant analysis that donald trump got clobbered last week. tomorrow night on the debate stage, mike pence will do what he can to keep this modern theme going of bad presidential candidates being rescued by their running mates, or if they're not bad presidential candidates, maybe they're just good presidential candidates who didn't do well in the first debate, and you didn't answer the way i would have wanted you to and we need a bigger bumper. but mike pence has a chance. michael bech lough joins us next. little dakota's nose was quivering in fear. because it knew an ordinary tissue was near. the fiery tissue left her nose sore an

the future of the republican party isn't a republican party that looks like george h.w. bush. the game. we're getting ready to find out. >> a lot of hurt feelings over the treatment of jeb bush by donald trump and the bush family is having none of that, obviously. all right, chris, you add thought. >> i also imagine that george h.w. bush hates donald trump's policies in addition. >> good point. see you later. get here to vegas. >>> fox news alert as early voting is under way in georgia. take a look at lines. people are lined up thon beautiful day. might be cold and nasty on november 8, so why not vote today in georgia. in the 2012 election almost half of the ballots in georgia were cast before election day. as hillary clinton widens her lead in a new npoll, tripling her lead over donald trump in three week's time. a new number we've got works opposite in some other number answers the break down of those battle ground states we just looked at with chris. shannon breem is live in washington. what do we know about this, shannon? >> reporter: here is what we know. georgia is a hot

there's been this shift since the presidency of george h.w. bushken place over the course of two decades where asian americans have become increasingly democratic. there's a number of reasons for that which we can get into, but this particular shift has been pronounced as well because the political preferences in the asian community are much less well set, much less permanent than in some other communities in the united states. >> there are laryngopercentages that lean toward a party or candidate instead of standing firmly with that group or behind the candidate. i've also read that you believe that the bias is america's colleges and institutions are also playing a role here. how so? >> one of the things that we've seen generally in politics is that individuals have more exposure to higher education. they do tend to be become more progressive and more liberal. that is certainly no exception for the asian american community. and so the argument moving forward and i've argued this, others have as well that some exposure to institutions learning expos
