EXCERPT:

KRISTOL: "I think it will be enough. I think he'll be fine. But I think the big story here that we may be missing, the big political story to me is Donald Trump doesn't have the support on this issue of a lot of Republicans in Congress. He didn't have it when he first announced the ban. He certainly didn't have it when he personally attacked the judge over the weekend. I don't think he has it tonight. Very few people are stepping forward. If you put that together with Jason Chaffetz's letter today asking for a review of Kellyanne Conway on ethics grounds. Republican chairman of the committee, three weeks into a Republican administration saying I'm worried about ethics violations in the White House. You put it into the attack on McCain, I think today could be the day. Looking back, the judicial decision is one part of a broader narrative or broader pattern where Trump is just losing allies finally."
