Before the speech this morning:

Andrea Mitchell: As we await the arrival of Donald Trump I think the foreign policy analysis of those of us who cover foreign policy may not be relevant to the way voters are responding to this man.

Richard Engel: Well, I was just listening to what Katy was saying and frankly, it's very disturbing. If they think that a wrecking ball can come in with the power of the United States military the United States government, its diplomatic power its moral power and not make a difference, that one man can not change the course of history then they frankly don't know the course of history. If you look at just what has happened over the last hundred years one person, hyper empowered with a fanatical support base has always been something that we need to be cautious about. So her idea that the people just want radical change we've heard that before, it hasn't gone well.

Katy Tur said she hears people say over and over again on the trail that they have seen him on the Apprentice and they trust that he will be able to do the job and they don't need to know the details.
