calling, go to our john mccormick. covered the scott walker beach. you wrote about him this weekend and what seemed to be a last-ditch effort to go for broke in the hawkeye state, where you now are. tell us whether you had seen any signs of this coming or whether this did come as much of a surprise as it did the rest of us. john m.: you could tell there was something off. i did not have a sense for that. the cnn poll had shown him below 1% or whether he was thinking about what he did today. he put on a brave face. he said he was going to spent 10 days a month and i will going forward. hisas going to become campaign headquarters and people would field use running for governor there. that changed overnight. his wife, tonette, was pulled aside by a supporter at one of the events late in the afternoon. i did not hear the question that was asked, but she said he is going to continue to be governor of wisconsin third 2018, the matter what happens. lookingd tell they were beyond the campaign a little bit. in terms of what he said about finding an anti-trump

then he said to john mccormick, the speaker of the house, he said, hold the bill up, if you get a bill, don't sign it within 10 days there is pocket veto. hold the bill for a month. and mccormick said why? johnson said, because i want to sign it on hugh carey's birthday. wouldn't have the bill without him. he did sign it on hugh carey's birthday. that kind of thing. >> how did he so much about so many people? i'm told that he had the phone number and the name of every member of congress on his desk in the oval office with little notes about what they might need or might want? how do he, how did he assemble all this? where did he get all this information? >> he aaccumulated it. it just was absolutely stunning. i mean and, it was invaluable to him. i mean he, he loved politicians. he spent time with them. he knew when their wives were sick. he knew when their kids were sick or when they had a problem or didn't. and he knew what would move them. i mean there were, it wasn't always hugs and kisses incidentally. we lost, we needed to raise the debt limit once and, in the course of hearing i

joining us now to break it all down, rebecca bird and john mccormick from blood berg politics. his latest piece explores the science behind trump mania. donald trump, he was very giddy today, rebecca. he was able to show for the cameras that he got on the rnc plane, he came to new york to solicit this pledge from donald trump. we know that donald trump is pledging to run as a republican, seemingly putting the stake through the heart of a possible independent bid at some point. this is not like a legally binding document. in terms of ballot access, this is a much easier path for donald trump to go on. >> exactly, luke. this is why we see trump signing this agreement today. it's not as you mentioned legally binding. if he had any political reason to at some point need to renege on this agreement, he could do so without any major implications except maybe a political implication to that. but it is -- it's really another win for donald trump. i mean, we have seen him time and again back the republican party into a corner. they probably thought by circulating this agreement to the c
