voters? it would be like scaling the swiss alps, i think, to try to improve upon his percentage of the black vote. he actually underperformed compared to mitt romney who wasn t known necessarily for having a great affinity for the black community. for president trump he does have a good story to sell, historic low unemployment, increased funding for historically black universities, bipartisan criminal justice reform bill. unfortunately he also has his big mouth that gets in his way. when he says things like he s been the best president for the african-american community in america s history, well, abraham lincoln sort of comes to mind. president trump is his own worst enemy when it comes to trying to sell it to the black community. let s remind our viewers and listeners on sirius about some of the things that mr. trump has said. look at my african-american over here, look at him. are you the greatest? are you going to include the congressional black caucus well, i would.
between taylor and sondland and volker about what was going on behind the scenes. was it farther, was it worse than what is already out there? that s a lot to begin with. you just described a whole lot on the table to begin with. and to add today s testimony really is a straw that breaks the camel s back. so more than what we ve seen. absolutely. congressman thank you very much for joining us. thank you so much. and still ahead, bernie sanders is back, but polls show him trail iing in a state he nearly tied in 201. what s changed? his campaign manager is with us. plus, the is in contingency mode. how they re planning for the possibility that the white house will withdrawal troops. but first, the fight to get the president s taxes could get tracked to the supreme court. what could that mean? chuck rosenberg is here after a quick break. mean
fashion that we heard from all the witnesses then we ll present the body of evidence that we have to the american public and the judiciary committee. i think that s what the american public wants. i don t want to shoot off the cuff or say something prematurely. i want to have all the evidence and facts off the table. if republicans were coming out here and saying this, they would be accused by democrat of trying to bake the cake before anybody is able to get a word in edge wise. sorry, that was a mixed metaphor there. but they re trying to firm up the narrative before the transcript comes out or before taylor himself testifies in public. is it fair to describe something that way in those desire terms then not to reveal what he s saying? all i can tell you is that i feel sorry for my republican colleagues that prematurely went out there and blindly supported the president and went blindly into this without really taking their time. that s not whreally what i

would have thought there would have been a natural disaster or unforced error. but we re throwing everyone out with any expertise and allowing people to operate with their gut. people who know more than the generals and think the constitution is phony. he use the word phony more than coughfield. we know someone who appreciates the constitution and appreciates that we don t have a direct democracy. no one has quoted catcher in the rye on this set, i don t think. that s old school. that s old school elitism there. yes. we are many the midinned mid change. and he did rail against ezbleets and against you. there was a market for that. high do you think that market was why do you think it was right for the taking? the first thing i do in the book is i go to the county in america which had the highest percentage of trump voters. miami. miami as it s pronounced. miami, texas. i heard it as miami. if you ever go down there they ll teach you.
