. >> that joined now by the round table, susan milligan, democratic strategist steve mcmahon and francescahambers. i start with you. i look at all the opposition research. do you know who i think of? i think back to night gingrich when they woke up and saw he had won south carolina and it was a koord hated hit on newt gingrich. super pacs dumping all the opposition research they had and some really damming stuff. what are they looking for with trump? >> i don't even think they have to do that. frankly, i don't think he's being contradictory. i don't think his ideological has anything to do with abortion or immigration or the economy. i think the donald trump doctrine is donald trump. back then he thought that's what would get him tang and support. now he's saying something else. that i think the analogy to gingrich is amount. there were a lot of candidates who were at the top of the polls. and i don't think he has the campaign skills that gingrich certainly had after running all those campaigns. i think the republicans are kind of hoping that he just falls under the weight of his absurdity
