Gary, careful. And steve forbes, remember him . He also ran against alan keyes. Remember alan keyes who was just stone cold crazy . He was not exactly running against a robust field. But the republican primary started that year in 2000 in iowa, the way it always does and george w. Bush ran away with it even though there were always these other evangelical guys in the field, george w. Bush won the iowa caucus that year by more than 10 points. Total piece of cake, obviously he was going to steam roll to the nomination. Then something unexpected happened. They got to New Hampshire and george w. Bush got beat. Out of the blue, out of the very back of the field came this guy john mccain who was not a crazy person or obviously eccentric or a foal lige total lightweight. John mccain was the only threat george w. Bush hadnt cleared out of the field. John mccain not only won New Hampshire, he won by a loat. He beat george w. Bush in New Hampshire by 18 points. Uhoh. The next big primary was in
Ducking questions on the matter yesterday. And today, sending a spokesperson out to claim trump has no real position on a race, where you might remember, he embraced moore after his primary win as a great guy who will really help make America Great again. Should roy moore resign, mr. President . He thinks that the people of alabama should make the decision on who their next senator should be. Yes, tonight, i can report for you that this roy moore scandal is now achieving what virtually no Campaign Aide or trump Family Member or chief of staff has ever managed to achieve. It has rendered this voluble president mute, reducing a man who ran against pc speech limits into a quiet, reticent, quailing figure on the sidelines on his partys pigge ebiggest decision his own nomination. The Moore Campaign dug in during a rally this afternoon, a rally that featured clergy, a rabbi, and former president ial candidate alan keyes. Theyre trying to tell you this is about roy moore, but in fact, in fact
Charges. President trump didnt help matters with the response on friday that failed to mention anything about the two wives accusing porter of abuse. We certainly wish him well. Its obviously a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the white house. And we hope he has a wonderful career. And hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. As katy tur of nbc said lots of hes and lots of hims and no hers. Todays spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee sanders tried to clean that up. The president and the entire administration take Domestic Violence very seriously and believe all allegations need to be investigated thoroughly. Above all believes everyone should be treated fairly and with due process. Why havent we heard the president say exactly what you just said right there, that he takes Domestic Violence very seriously . I spoke with the president. Those are actually directly his words that he gave me earlier today. Why hasnt he said that if she had the opportunity . Its my
Rage tweeting about the investigation and about the democrats who were exercising their constitutional oversight powers to get the full report that you, the American People, paid for. Moments ago House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff vowed that democrats will not be deterred from exercising their oversight powers. That is certainly the president s attitude, its not the job of congress to do oversight, period, and indeed under the gop congress they did no oversight, but its our responsibility to root out fraud, corruption, waste, abuse, whether it rises to the level of criminality or not.

Incredibly damning allegation based on cnns exclusive reporting. Heres trump late today. Can you respond to the reports today that say that you have mishandled classified information to russia. No, i know nothing about it. I see the cia responded perfectly, so whatever the cia said is fine with me. But i heard they responded perfectly. I know nothing. Okay, the question first to cnns bombshell report that trumps intelligence community, the cia, extracted a crucial spy from russia, in part because of fears that trump, the president of the United States, trump could expose the spy through his mishandling of classified information.
