the republican party does not have the navy seals to rescue them the way tom hanks did. >> rich, whatmake of the way -- >> i could have gone with pirate roberts. but here is why, first of all, i agree with paul. i think roger will be back in the trump camp as a paid adviser. because, because mr. trump needs somebody like roger who can say, if you don't do, if you don't at least listen to me, i am going to quit. he showed he would do that. because what happens is we are, in the first few primaries it's sort of easy to do it yourself. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. you can do it. on march 1, for example. there are 12 primaries on the republican side. 13 on the democratic side. you need to have an established leadership team in your campaign. that can, that can work all of that while you as the candidate are doing your job. so, it would not surprise me a bit if by the end of this week, roger is back on board. i think that would be fine. >> jeff, everyone, include the media in this. loves when a candidate is blunt. not handled by a bunch of strategists. i enjoyed my interview ses so
