What does a private bathroom, bogey, boogie back and a hippopotamus have to do with the behind the scene, chaos between his knees last to see Yossi Bob, I grew and bob cheaper. I'm cnbc media reporter alex german, and I spent nearly two years reporting on the inside story of a ceo succession plant on awry. Listen to my two part series. Disney's wildest ride available

beautiful. I picture with the sun now up over the white house, six, forty two on a friday morning,
he Hayley is picking up more campaign cash and support in the race for the republican presidential nomination. Some donors who previously have back south carolina centred tim Scott, are now shifting
two hayley after his exit from the race this week, meanwhile billion,
hedge funds? He oh can Griffin, who gave millions to run the santas for his campaigns for florida, governor told blue
tv? This week he is quote actively contemplating backing hayley
Paul by cnn, and the universe of new Hampshire release. Yesterday shows donald try
but the commanding led in the state at forty two percent but hayley that
your second choice? At twenty percentage points six points higher than chris Christy
So Joe Nicky highly has had a couple of good debates prickly last someone with just five them on the stage she said
we shine. I guess the question is: does it
the matter given the margins, Donald trump ass,
I mean you're forty, two
percent matters
matters and the fact that it may be imagined Barack obama
was running to be democratic. Now
even their share.
open field
be getting forty two percent now be beginning. Eighty five, ninety percent, there still
a lot of doubt and the republican party about donald trump,
and Hayley twenty percent, pretty it? I will save if it donor
sure you'd be the same with me down here said they were actively contemplating supporting me and I was sitting across the table. I do this ok, but I,
I'll, be here, I'm not get you keep it.
We can't just write it, but when I think there I think they're going that way, I mean I make with waited with Chris Christie or the sad is out of the race. This re suddenly becomes the bed the, but they have this here's the thing you drop out in our
like this show the politics dictates. In my view,
drop. You endorse read, so you drop it
the term scott, you drop out, you say I'm dropping out and I'm supporting nicky dropping out and have supported christie. You cannot in
this in this campaign with Donald trump it for it
percent new hampshire and am and much more another jurisdictions and locations. You can add the hedge, your bet with the donors, the the political actor.
you have to be precise, and you have to be very clear- is the only way you little this thing down this once it to set itself up to be a tromp hayley battle, but
You still have men on the stage who won't give that air and let it breathe.
you have donors who won't let it breathe actively.
Contemplating is not actively doing
and so the reality of it- is none of this matters until they make it matter. It's nice headlines and it looks good she's sitting at twenty percent is the end of the day. Donald
still the nominated the party until until they prove otherwise and they're. Not people here is my question at the republican party. All the polls show that she does better against Biden and trumpet does the all the visa. You know all of them. She's done very well in those debates. You know she's she's done some. It's very hard for women, canada, seduce she's, she's put down
the swami and away that's very cutting but amusing. She doesn't offend people right,
So what one is with the republic of a party that they they don't see this their trumpets
defacing for trials next year in the middle of the campaign on care about that they would they care about, is what tromp wants, what trumps doin? That's that's their avatar
that's where they they feel their retribution coms
that's he's the one who is going to make it right away
they wanted Nicky, Hayley doesn't,
that in their view, Nicky Hayley. Yes, she was administration, but she's not
all the way trot right,
christy certainly is not said the rat,
only for a lot of his supporters is why what
I go with light when I've got the real deal why what wild flight might take president? But this is not what this terrorism
practice is pure, is about and practicality, but at that at the core business is something that
No clue has been reported,
I genuinely believe this time
next year, Donald trump
will be getting rate while back I'm alive, they keep losing
keep losing donald trump and they've lost every year. Since we seventeenth consecutively
SAM stein, a white house editor for politico. Thank you. They keep lucy and so a losing donald trump for some better than waiting with somebody else, but begin Hayley does clearly outside brain
Donald trump in the general election.
I will say, though, sitting at twenty percent
rising up from white may be seven six, seven, eight percent a couple months ago.
And being therein in november, I'd taken
and any day of the week. Yeah there's a path here right like it wasn't visible a couple of weeks ago, but you can see it starting to form. I don't think it's a particularly great path, but
there and, if you out of the three non from canada, twenty forty nine, that's forty three percent trumps have forty two.
now it doesn't work that way right. It's not like every vote who doesn't moves on from run to is going to back Nikki he'll, probably back donald trump, but there is
path. Now I will say the elected billy. Are you mean that
I for one, but obviously republican voters don't buy it sure, and you mentioned the trials where they're telling pollsters they don't care right. Maybe they telling you maybe get a lotta. I get a lot of family members and friends that we're all in for trump in sixteen and twenty who low
with him.
but so sure there that admit that europe
Ulster calling them up here. That might be the case. I've thought about that too, whether these polls kind of overstate things for him. I will say what we were able to report on the trials or anything actually plays into this a little bit. Here's it's! Not the
they're, just ignoring trouser trouser, actively helping trump in the press,
primary voters rally round him because
think he's being target,
by his political opponents and they feel empathy for him. We know this because the club for growth conservative group that
opposed to trees on call them to conserve desire. They used to be here yesterday, formerly conservative group, that used to worry about balancing the budget in death.
the purposes of this conversation, a group, the trump their their allied pac, ran a focus group pads going
for him on his legal troubles in the most
the was bell. Backfired, formerly adds a put together. Three of them actually increase support for trump, the fourth one just kept things normal in that
Are you see? None of these other primary candidates. Use
trumps trials against him in the course of this parliament. It is just not touched because it actually works situated successfully made those trials about them new six.
we transferred for that. But polls show. At least our poll showed that if you, if he's convicted, that changes things, oh yeah, that changes things considerably and you're talking about the general electorate and the primary where this, where the actual process of the republicans at a very high high bar for turning on trump. Okay, if
only indicted for stealing nuclear secrets from the united states of america we're good with their guns TAT every day. So so
the mayor
It is interesting that sam was talking about. It is true that donald trump was
It is shaky position until the manhattan indictment came down.
Then his numbers started to grow up. They continued to grow up,
The every passing indictment, it is
fascinating that you look now maybe starting
albert little bit
and I'm just curious if there are no more indictments between now and new Hampshire. That's a big if this this race could get close could
tie. Your trunk trump was really wounded. Let's recall, after twenty twenty two,
terms where there was real talk of the party moving away from dishonest. Had this here
win in florida, the term a trumpet visor is trying to get into off his announcement, which was coming a week after the mid term, because so many
candidates loss and there was real momentum against trump, thereby trump went forth with it because
That was, he needs to run to stay out of jail
and what does he didn't count on? But what has now happened? He has just new guys just noted down very effect
wait is, is transfer hid the prosecution,
it's him and making them about his supporters. They come for me. They come for. You look at this. It's this! It's this deep state witch hunt you right now
seems to be a little bit of a closing, but we shouldn't overstated about where the
ray stands right now, Nicky hayley deserves credit. She has clearly become the best alternative
the Santer still seems a deeply damage, but I say
just mentioned points suggests that for so many these candidates, their second place choice,
its trump is trials of they may go to trump if the scientists bows out or of christie can't make it to primary their whatever it, whatever it
it be so this is still the donald trumps race,
to lose no question.
and then we see when the trial start at the moment there is a belief, probably just two
the the january six work election trial that will start and conclude, and maybe even if there's a dimension, get assent,
sing before election day. Now that wouldn't happen for the farmers, but that is so
That would certainly have to count we'd have to factor in to
of general election calculations. We really
swinging the general elections and we really do say
divided republican party here with again
at present. Getting forty percent and ice who's be running this massive.
Movement nationwide,
look at the new hampshire emerson polls from earlier this week in new Hampshire, new Hampshire, obviously, an extraordinarily important state
in the general election has been since two thousand
It's your by no means a thirty seven percent approval. Writing there still beats donald trump. My five percentage points in new Hampshire right I mean I
gets woefully premature to start talking about violence weaknesses in the general action right now, because we just don't know
the political landscape, my look like in half a year, let alone three months now there are clear vulnerabilities right and when we see a time time again, age, question stamina, enthusiasm among the base and you will see
personified in protest outside the deep sea.
Does it mean that things will change and, of course the binding people are hoping for the change. The big variable for me is not just you know, can bite in shore up his base. Kenny, actually
actually find out a return to this issue of age which isn't going lavishly it's what happens was with these third party candidate to on top of it, and especially as they like in Hampshire right here
dependence streak up there
returns shake up there. You know just some
like robert F Kennedy: Jr come in and really pull five ten percent I dunno Cornell west he's making big plays in states like michigan, for instance, to the the arab muslim, american and black american populations. There does that take away today.
We're five percent cent mean in these states were talking about margins victory that
in the tens of thousands. That is a game. Changer Elizabeth. You never know which way the independent candidates are going to cut. What you don't know she texted attempt to catch. The rfk jr takes us much from ca.
Part time jobs where potentially, given his stance on anti accident and its justice very
extremist positions. So it's just hard to tell I mean corner west s takes more from Biden, but
from Pino, it's so interesting about trump. He was praising rfk Jr. Is this guy at all of a sudden? You know he he turns on him, but it looks like he's going to take those away from it's like day to day. That's amazing, really donald trump, actually, turning on somebody that he wants praise, never seeing that guy, who could
come in our guys, thanks so much elizabeth bumiller miller, SAM stein. Thank you. Both have a great weekend will see next week's everybody. Instead, scarborough did you know you
streamlining job live on peacock, that's right! You can find
