there have been numerous studies that have accomplished quite firmly that voter fraud is a myth. this statement reveals the animus of this commission. its conclusions have been predetermined. and these individuals that have been placed on the commission are there to drive an agenda of voter suppression. there s just no turning back from it. there are several lawsuits, of course, revealing what the animus is behind these efforts. and ours is one of them at the naacp legal defense fund. we have sued and we have revealed that one of the main driving forces is the disenfranchisement of black and latino voters. we should not shy away from calling that racism what it is and pointing out that is very much a part of the intention of this commission. governor dean, leading this charge is a guy named chri
strategic, i ll be honest with you. he s probably not. if this was strategy on his part, in a lot of ways it wasn t very good because his base is getting pretty mad at him. but i think schumer and pelosi come out of this with no debt ceiling fight and a possible deal for the d.r.e.a.m.ers so there s actual substance to it and this is good. it s a win. david corn. i was tempted to say that paul ryan won the week. how dare you? he never wins anything. he doesn t have to deal with trump for a while. he admits that s a pretty big win. enjoy september. but i actually think the guy we talked with in the last segment, bernie sanders, won the week. he lost the fight for the presidential nomination of his party, yet he is determining its policy course at the moment. he introduced medicare for all, the bill this week. who was there? any senator who wants to run for president. kamala harris, cory booker,
but that s a whole other discussion. don t go on your twitter mentions for the next 24 hours. oh, i m ready. stay off twitter. all that being said, the democratic party has to have this discussion about who it is, what it wants to be and how they re going to deliver it for the american people in a way that resonates and blunts whatever it is the president is trying to do. we re only a half a year into this. these conversations, though, never happen. you know, after romney lost, the rnc had an autopsy. we got to reach out to latinos. what happened to that? yeah. what happened to that? the guy who was in charge of that ended up working for the guy who grabbed women and bragged about it and who insulted every latino he could find. unfortunately, our system is really dominate ed by the presidential race. every four years a party decides
pardon sheriff joe. he always looks for a way to give them something to stay with him. at the end of the day, there s no alternative for them. where are they going to go? the piece in the atlantic, trump is truly something new, the president whose entire political existence hinges on the fact of a black president. for a lot of his base the whole point was getting that man into the white house to replace the other guy. it almost doesn t mat whaer tere does. they just wanted to have that vision, that image as president. maybe they don t care. thank you guys very much. coming up, trump s voter suppression commission is next.
activism of the same people that barack obama was responsive to. that s got to enrage them. for them, there is no going back. the difference between donald trump and his supporters and his base is they are absolute on this. this is an issue of conviction, of ideology. there is no room to negotiate that back. trump is not a person of ideology. he is not someone who has true core convictions that guide everything he makes. he instead is flexible. this guy is all about the art of the deal and about praise. as long as he gets that positive reinforcement he s going to keep going that direction. this is the first time in this presidency that he s gotten any type of positive coverage from anywhere. if he has to throw aside the alt right and the steve bannons of the world for a while, he s willing to do that. chuck and nancy are sort of the heros of this daca saga for
