Kristen Soltis Anderson: Trump ‘Is Persuadable on Many Fronts’

‘There is a chance he can be persuaded’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SOLTIS ANDERSON:  I think he is persuadable on many fronts. Take for instance the example where he took one position on torture and then spoke with general Mattis and said, hey, this was a new way of thinking about this issue. I think on a whole host of issues he'll face as president he'll have an opportunity to dig deeper and surround himself with people to give him advice. He'll have a lot of different opinions from which he can form his own. On something like NATO. If one or two bright voices that he trusts come into the room and say Mr. President, NATO is one of the best defense agreements we can strike. There is a chance he can be persuaded. It's unclear to me which positions he's dug in on and which are the ones he'll be open to listening to a diverse team of advisers on."
