gene robinson, amy walter and mark leibovich. anyway, on fox news last night, donald trump bashed president obama and warned that the country is, quote, going to hell. >> he's probably the worst president in the history of our country. he's a very divisive person, which is why he brings this kind of stuff up. and he should have devoted more time to working on a good nuclear deal with iran instead of what he's doing because he has just been a disaster for our country. i'm running because we're not going to have a country soon. we don't have borders. we don't have law enforcement. they've taken all of the power away from our policemen. and sure you have a couple of bad apples and you have some bad decisions being made. and i hate to see it when i see it. but the fact is we don't have law and order. we don't have -- i mean, our country's going to hell. >> anyway, trump's been rewarded for his rhetoric. new polls show him with a strong lead up in new hampshire. the latest from monmouth university shows him with twice the support of j

joining me now is the author of that piece, mark leibovich, who spent time with hillary clinton in newhire early this month. you've seen her over the years and you've seen her now in this campaign. how do you think she's changes? >> so far not at all despite a lot of indications that it's going to be different this time. i mean look there are a lot of operational things in the campaign that you hear are much better off than they were in 2008. but look there was a hint at least last year when she was promoting her book that she was going to let it rip a little bit. she was past being the cautious calculating candidate that we saw in '08 and it hasn't happened yet. i think that was reflected in my own experience of her. >> you write that re re re-producing hillary clinton. voters appreciate it when they recognize bits of themselves when welcoming their parents. this is what shez been talking about when political types refer to as reintroducing or in clinton's case re-re-re-reintroducing. she often talks about her grandchild, of course. and she weaves in i think the most compelling narrat

new york sometimes magazine chief national correspondent mark leibovich wrote the cover retori.uth marcus is columnist for the "washington post" and robert costa is national political reporter for the "washington post." welcome to all of you we'll start with you now reaction to donald trump let's take a listen. >> donald trump owes every american veteran and in particular john mccain an apology. >> donald trump he didn't apologize to senator mccain all the other men and women who wore the uniform that's just a disgrace. >> the good people of iowa the good people of new hampshire and the good people of south carolina are going to figure this out. and here is what i think they're going to say. donald trump you're fired. [ applause ] >> dickerson: well, gentleman women that was republican candidatess this it for him? >> not necessarily. there are three audiences for donald trump does and says. there are the republicans who are interested perhaps in getting the people donald trump appears to john mccain's called the craze he's. he says he's my friend. there are the craze he's as the

amy walter mark leibovich. >> he's tripped down on that comment comparing the iran nuclear deal to the holocaust. not just huckabee. they're right there with him in the clown car. >>> john kerry's on capitol hill today defending the nuclear deal just as a new poll shows majority of americans actually want congress to reject it. >>> plus president obama knows he's on a roll. he says if the u.s. constitution aloud allowed it, he could win a third term. >>> the most desperate scramble for turf since the opening of the cherokee strip. tablets. keep them all digital. we're looking to double our deliveries. our fleet apps will find the fastest route. oh, and your boysenberyy apple scones smell about done. ahh, you're good. i like to bake. with at&t get up to $400 dollars in total savings on tools to manage your business. >>> the country's closely split on president obama and the job he's done as president. according to a new poll 49% approve of him. 47% disapprove. but americans are asked if they're better off than three years ago, again 49% say yes, 38% say no. 12% say they're the same. tha

. >> mark leibovich, thank you very much.ll have to read about this in this weekend's new york magazine. still to come dr. brzezinski will join us and the man that could stand in the way of the iran deal going through congress, senator bob corker. first, few people know high stakes diplomacy better than her. former secretary of state madeleine albright joins us to break down the dweel iraneye deal with iran. that is straight ahead on "morning joe." you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people
