Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Mo te hunga i tumanako ko te pooti perehitini e haere ake nei ka uru mai ki te ata o te kaupapa hou, nui ake te whakaaweawe, ko tenei wiki kua pahure ake nei he tino pouri. I ngā wā matua e rua, kua rite te mahi a ngā kaiārahi o ngā taha e rua o te ara ki ngā Bourbons o Wīwī, e mōhiotia ana kāore rātou i mahara ki tētahi mea, kāore hoki i wareware ki tētahi mea mai i ngā pakanga o mua. Ko te wā tuatahi, he mea nui ake hoki, ko te tuku o taua reta e ngā kaitōrangapū Republican ki te kāwanatanga o Iran. Ko te tuarua, ā, ko te mea nui ake pea i te wā tōrangapū, ko te whakahaere a Hillary Clinton i āna īmēra. He āhua hāngai ngā take e rua. I roto i ngā take e rua, i tīmata ngā kaiārahi ki ngā āwangawanga tika, engari i mutu ki te whakapakeke i ngā mea. I roto i ngā take e rua, kua waihangahia hoki e ngā kaiārahi ngā take wehewehe e hōhonu ake ai te whakawehe i roto i te pakanga, ā, tērā pea ki te perehitini e whai ake nei. Kua whakaitihia e te tokorua nga tupono ki te mawhiti i nga mahi torangapu o tenei ra. He take i kaha ai te akiaki a nga Reipa i te Kaunihera ki o raatau tirohanga i te wa e uru ana nga korerorero me Iran ki te mutunga. Ko rātau, pērā i ētahi atu maha - tae atu ki te tokomaha o ngā kaitōrangapū, te kāwanatanga o Iharaira o nāianei, me ngā iwi Arapi hoa - e wehi ana ka wahia e te kāwanatanga o Obama tētahi whakaaetanga ngoikore, ngoikore e āhei ai a Iran ki te whakatata atu ki te whai i ngā patu karihi. He mea nui ano hoki, e whakapono ana nga Reipa, me te take, i a ia e whakawhitiwhiti korero ana, kua ngana te Perehitini Barack Obama ki te whakarere i te Kaunihera i te nuinga o nga wa, me ratou i roto i te nuinga. Ko wai ka taea te whakapae i a rātau mō te tautohe mēnā ka tohe te Perehitini kia whakaaetia tētahi whakaaetanga e te kāwanatanga anake - kaua e whakaaetia e te Kaunihera - kātahi ka kore te tumuaki o te kāwanatanga e whai ake nei e herea ā-turetia e ōna whakaritenga? Ehara i te mea he kore take o rātau āwangawanga. Na, ki te i tonoa e ratou rite tonu te reta ki te peresideni, e kua meinga e ratou he ngangau, engari kua kua kite rite i roto i te tikanga o te tōrangapū me te statecraft. Engari, i pohehe rātau - he pohehe kino - ki te tuku atu ki ngā kaiārahi kaiwhakatuma o Iran, e waiho ana i tētahi tohu mārama...
David Gergen: Ko Iran te mea tino nui hei kaupapa nui i te pakanga 2016. Kāore ngā hapa a Clinton i tīmata ki te waihanga i te pūnaha tiaki īmēra, e ai ki a ia.
