Wants to see just a few days before you the allimportant Iowa Caucuses. Though trump wasnt on the stage, sometimes it sounded like he was. I kind of miss donald trump. He was a little teddy bear to me. We always had a loving relationship in these debates and in between, the tweets, i kind of wish him and wish he was here. Lets be clear about what this campaign is about. Its not about donald trump. Hes an entertainment show. This debate is about the greatest country in the world. We have more. Reporter good morning, carol. Right . Be careful what you wish for. Ted cruz imagined what a race would be like without donald trump and now he knows. Indeed, for all of these candidates, having a chance to be onstage, sure, it gave them more time in the spotlight, more time to talk, but it also put focus more squarely on them, and sometimes in an uncomfortable way. For a debate stage absent of donald trump, it was hardly a debate, absent of donald trump. From the very first question before we get
It is cruel. It is frightening. And the truth is it hurts. The guys they nominated and endorsed and supported is caught on tape saying things that no decent person would even think, much less say, much less brag about, much less laugh about or joke about, much less act on. This guy, as i said, has acknowledged that he has been a sexual predator. Hes acknowledged that hes abused his power. As i said, the textbook definition that constitutes Sexual Assault. Good day, everybody. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Donald trump lashing out at his accusers, painting himself as the victim.

Wrongdoing in those conversations. Begin with White House Correspondent sara murray. The white house downplaying cnn reporting saying that chief of staff Reince Priebus did nothing wrong but told by a source close to the president there is some consternation, heartburn about the conversations between Reince Priebus and fbi, the source says not the distraction the president needs. Really hoping to focus on top line agenda items and getting frustrated with the negative coverage hes getting around the staff story particularly, and this was another blow around that front.

At times doing this, may just invite a pool in or small group but bizarre. Cherry picked news outlets in.

Almost scary. Should we be concerned . We absolutely need to be concerned. They have been preparing for 70 years, the u. S. Imperialists will come back and finish the job we started in the korean war. This is part of their mythology. Children have to wait outside the library at at night, this is something theyve been prepping for for decades. Tucker we know they have an enormous military, what do they want, what is their aim . They want to hold onto power at any cost necessary. The u. N. Was expelled from north korea because kim jong il said if we they wont need the government. Up to 10 of the population starved.
