Pletka: Trump Can’t Drown out Russia Story Because He’s Not Doing Anything Else

DANIELLE PLETKA: It does sort of tries to pull the thread I think on this Russia stuff. And obviously journalists are writing the first draft of history. But the biggest problem with the Trump administration is there isn't any thread. We're talking about leadership before. He can't drown out the Russia story because he's not doing anything else. I don't have a sports analogy here for you, Chuck.

CHUCK TODD: That's all right, Dany.

DANIELLE PLETKA: I know there is one. But I just don't know what it is. But they keep just hitting at the balls that come at them rather than having a narrative. And they don't have an agenda.

CHUCK TODD: No that was pretty good.

DANIELLE PLETKA: Oh yeah. Was that okay?

DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN: Yeah, that's a sports analogy.

CHUCK TODD: That was a pretty good one.

DANIELLE PLETKA: Thank God.
