a political analyst generally you will public can you represent republicans you can't like with steve benen to do that i think steve. bach is wes in his bite i went to the california g.o.p. convention steve benen was that and i think he spoke very successfully among the g.o.p. fundamentally you know republicans are against his topless men and that in a way unites republicans and i don't i'm not sitting back and eating my popcorn because i'm confident that people like steve but you know steve benen is for trump and that is the trash americans elected president trump so do you want to see burn in succeed and have those congressmen who support. being opposed by those who want to go more toward trump you want to see them out of office no i'm not saying i want to see them out of office but i'm saying that the g.o.p. itself is moving towards an anti establishment philosophy amounts not anything to do with one in people out of office necessarily i don't see it as something that will you know closer it's between the pot it within the party robbing generally praise generally praised the public the p
