criticism. he and i didn't know each other very well at the time. we certainly didn't agree on each and every position that he or i had taken. but he spent countless hours trying to help me out. and much of it was behind the scenes. there was no political up side for john mccain in that effort at all. but he did it because he thought i was being treated unfairly. i'll never forget it. i'll be grateful forever. and i wish john mccain and his family nothing but the best. >> meghan mccain said the thing that surprises me most is i don't understand what kind of environment kelly sadler is working in when that would be acceptable and she could come to work the next day and still have a job. >> i've just given my view. >> but doesn't the white house have an obligation to apologize for this remark? >> i said what i've going to say on the subject. >> we thank you so much. we hope you'll come back. >> glad to be with you. democrats are expressing confidence about victory in november in the mid terms. but are there new signs that the so-called blue wave has turned into a blue trickle?
