congressmen doesn t matter that much. you get waves like we had in 94 or 2006 or 2010. do you think there is going to be a wave? oh, yeah, i think so. do you think democrats are handling this well? the dnc just had a really bad fund-raising period and i ve heard a lot of democrats skeptical the party leadership can capitalize on what is clearly an opportunity. well, they can always do better. set aside alabama. we all laugh because moore had these horrendous charges, the likes of which we ve never seen. look at virginia, where republicans nominated the for sensible and moderate he was a conservative, really. the democratic candidate ualo was a moderate. the republicans did not put up a bad candidate in virginia and bannon said we re going to run trumpism without trump. they didn t let the president come in. ed gillespie ran on the trump agenda, not on the bush agenda, he ran a vishts anti-immigrant campaign. tried to link his democratic
obama has been rejected by the country and he can see the trump agenda in control of all branches and systematically unfold every that he did and make him a paren thesis in american history. megyn: what do you make when you compare what george w bush did when leaving office? and when he left, he said that president obama was going to systematically dismantle the bush agenda and granted president obama has a young daughter in school and wants her to finish and the notion that he s going to stay and continue
office and he s been rejected by the country. he can see the trump agenda, the republican agenda, the control of all branches. he is prepared to systematically dismantle everything he did and make him a parenthesis in american history. i think it s natural he d want to stay and fight. as for biden, no one has been able to keep him quiet since 1979 so i m not surprised by that news. megyn: but what you make of it, it is strange when you compare what george w. bush did upon leaving office, because a pond and could ve said the same thing about when he left that president obama was going to systematically dismantle the bush agenda, that he had been clearly rejected and so on. but he didn t stick around to watch it. granted, president obama has a young daughter in school and he wants her to finish. but the notion that this team is going to stay and continue fighting the will of the american people is very different than what we saw eight

they come after you you viciously. and anything to distract from the facts. here a very well laid out new york times piece. that i m actually going to read before i judge. and he shared his information, josh, with the new york times and the washington post . to believe that conspiracy, you have to believe the reporters from the times and post also have an anti-hillary agenda and now an anti-jeb bush agenda. and schweitzer was concerned of a mischaracterization of his relationship with the new york times, the washington post and abc news. what he told me was he had reached out to certain investigative reporters at these news agencies and said not just take what i ve written and publish it but take this essentially as a lead. go out, do your own investigative reporting, add to the story and let s essentially get more sunlight more information into some of the
