look, it s hard to know what he he didn t actually come out and say it, right? so even when he was asked, is he cooperating by lawrence, he said arnold said he s on the right side. but then when he asked about the exact words, the words were about i m with you. cohen saying to arnold i m with you, which doesn t say anything about what he s doing with the government. but it doesn t answer the question that lawrence had asked, which is, is he cooperating with the government, right? so, you know, there s a lot of sort of it s good tv. there s a lot of different things that arnold has said. one thing i know for sure, and this is not the point of what he s saying. but i know for sure that cohen s new lawyer, guy petrillo, and the prosecutors and the fbi do not want tom arnold out there doing what he s doing right now, okay? because if michael cohen is headed in the direction of cooperating with them, they don t want tom arnold talking about what cohen is also telling
seen which have shown a much closer race. democrats look at that and say, you hope it s the start of something. you look at pennsylvania. trump won this thing by a very small margin in 2016. bob casey, the democrat is looking in very good position in pennsylvania. in montana, jon tester, democratic incumbent. this is trump by 20 in this state. tester, high single digit lead. that would be encouraging for democrats. ohio, very encouraging for democrats. jared brown comfortably ahead. we don t have the numbers for it, but wisconsin, tammy baldwin running again. trump won by a very narrow margin. republicans haven t had their primary yet, but the polling matched up baldwin against both possible republicans, they led by around 10 points in each. that encouraging for democrats too. basically go back to that map. remember, republicans wanted to get a bunch of these because they re trump states. what s taking shape right now in the early polling? north dakota, that as ripe a target as it look
then what do we have at the border? what do we have all over the country? we would have detention centers where whole families are held but there is no 21-day limit. we know the immigration courts, the prosecutions are backed up. it s going more slowly than people would like despite the prosecutors who have been moved to the border to take care of some of these criminal cases. i think the worry is we would be paving the way for indefinite detention of families, which is a very different issue and just as disturbing for a lot of democrats. when we talk about the complexity of polling, the polling showed when you give voters a choice of how to handle families in these situations, crossing the border illegally, the idea of detaining the family together was runaway the first choice of democrats and republicans. it raises the question if you introduce that word indefinite in front of that, how does that scramble the way people think about it? a lot of layers to this here.
republicans on capitol hill, evangelicals that are backing the president because of his stance on abortion and neil gorsuch on the supreme court, they said we cannot have this. so the president needs to get this narrative back. the way he wants to do that is by making a midterm issue. franco, what yamiche is describing does strike me when you look at the polling, the public opinion polling out there. you look at the question of family separation, kids being separated at the border, parents being held for some sort of court proceeding, even among republicans, trump s base, you see it split in half there. then you see wide opposition outside of that. but then when the issue shifts back to this sort of underlying, so-called zero tolerance policy as the trump administration frames it, where, you know, it s this question of anybody crossing the border illegally, should they be held? should she be jailed awaiting some kind of trial, some kind of legal proceeding? should the families be hel
rewarded! (haha) getting settled. rewarded! learn more at theexplorercard.com and get. rewarded! as we were just showing you, president trump started today suggesting on twitter that republicans could be in for a red wave in november s midterms. but he s already seeing pushback from within his own party. republican congressman mark sanford, who lost his primary last week after trump endorsed his challenger at the literal last minute, told msnbc today the president s tweet will not help immigration reform and warned of november consequences. i think that it probably kills off the possibility of immigration moving forward, but you never say never. the longer this issue festers, i think it will have the reverse effect. rather than create a red wave, it may very well be part of what creates a blue wave. another prominent conservative is openly advocating for the gop s defeat
