linda sanchez: she has a strong team behind her. and no doubt, trump is very unpredictable and he is very erratic. i think as the campaign goes on and you see more of that erratic behavior from donald trump it , underscores that he does not have the temperament to sit in the oval office and run this country. it creates that real contrast between somebody who is thoughtful and has a strong presence versus somebody who is shooting from the hip all the time and off-balance and not accurate with his facts or understanding the fact that what he says has an impact around the world. what he is saying right now frightens some of our strongest allies. i think increasingly as we march towards the november election, voters will have a clear picture of whether they want a study, competent person at the helm or someone that is temperamentally erratic? fernando: let me ask you about that because you know her. what is one thing that isn't not very well known outside party circles, something that would surprise us to know about her? a quality? a wa

linda, let's begin with you. your response to donald trump's proposal for extreme vetting, as he calls it? >> it is a continuation of his ludicrous policy proposals. i'm a person who has been working with refugees in new york city for 15 years. he has no idea the vetting process that immigrants go through before they come to the united states. he is taking us back to the 1950's, this idea of creating a committee on radical islam. who is going to set the standards for that -- for what that looks like gecko when he talks about testing immigrants around only those that will flourish, are those who believe in american dies, who is going to say what those values are? donald trump? the fact that rudy giuliani was anywhere near this, the fact that rudy giuliani can be the next head of the department of homeland security scares me more than donald trump. buts. shocked or surprised, the fact we have gotten to this point is allowing a man of this caliber to be running for the highest office of this land is outrageous. amy:
