news media coverage always compared him to ragan.ven after he had been president two or three years there was still this benchmark about how ragan would give the state of the union or major address. he was always being compared to that where his style was just so different. he was never going to be that kind of communicator. the media environment hindered him from being able to develop his own style and be a little bit more comfortable and have people appreciate that more just because of that long shadow cast by president ragan. >> again, it is interesting to look at what it meant coming after president ragan and then bush and then the former president clinton. his style unlike anything that had been seen as well. looking at voters directly in the eye, connecting with the personal message that said i feel your pain. tell us about the clinton contrast with bush during the campaign and how different was that in the election? >> yeah. it made a big difference. there are the famous scenes from the debates in the 2358 of 1992, the one whe

remember what president ragan said about the soviets, it came to military issues, of course, a big one trust but verify. remember, mr. president, you won because of main street, not really wall street. herewith reaction is stephen yates, china expert, former deputy national scared advisor, for vice president dick cheney, and robert wolf, former ike obama economic advisor. you are of the mind that we need a slightly more -- softer approach to china, when it comes -- at least the threats of tariffs. >> i would say it a little differently. i would say, one, i would argue more forceful. trading with the 11 nations ex-china. the best way to attack china is the trade around them. secondly, i think it is all about intellectual property and patent protection. i would be tougher on things like economic espionage and getting them involved. with tariffs come i don't think that is a good policy. the one who loses the most are our consumers, because the tariffs get passed on to us as taxes and higher cost of goods. i don't think that is great, although it has been working. >> laura: that is no mine

business cycle, works out is there are recessions that tend to be earlier in a president's term so ragangeorge w. bush, richard nixon all had early recessions but then by the time they were running for re-election the economy was growing again. it's very rare for somebody to be in an active recession while they're seeking a second term. jimmy carter tried it in 1980. and he got hammered. he lost 44 states. obviously, the economy was not the only thing going on then. but that didn't help. and even if you're -- the economy's growing, the overhang, the aftermath of recession as george h.w. bush found out in 1992, he had a strong growing economy in 1992 but the psychology had been set by the '91 recession so if donald trump defines -- has the last two years of his term defined by economic downturn when he starts with only 40% approval which means he's got to cushion to give away, he's got big problems. even if you set aside from bob mueller is doing and we are waiting for that today. >> john's got a great piece on what it looks like to run in an election as a president in a recession. not go
