2018 is a horrendous cycle for Democrats. For starters they have to defend 5 seats in states Barack Obama lost either 2008, 2012 or both.

Trump staying disciplined and on message is not what Donald Trump wants. He views himself as a tremendously gifted natural communicator who connects best with people when he is riffing without notes or preparation.

I don't think Hillary Clinton will get any sort of political honeymoon like George W Bush or Barack Obama enjoyed.

I think Donald Trump's natural tendency in all things is to resist any "deal" where he doesn't get to set the terms.

I am not convinced that means [Donald] Trump is a lock to be the next president but it does suggest that what he has tapped into is both lasting and powerful.

It's impossible to predict anything when it comes to Trump.

For me, I focus on trying to get it right and be as fair as possible. There's not much else I can do. People will believe what they want - facts be damned.
