trouble? she made for a very enticing target down in this georgia congressional race. we re hearing more and more democrats trot out the idea as molten did today of a new generation of leadership. i don t see congressman molten s statement as indicative of the political reality within the house democratic caucus or really within the democratic party. are there concerns about leader pelosi and what she means for democratic candidates next year? of course there are. but after the 2010 and 2014 republican sweeps, the house democratic conference, remember, became very liberal. it became mostly blue states, blue districts, and they are die-hard supporters when i m up there on capitol hill behind me, they re die-hard supporters of nancy pelosi. they re not itching to get her out of there. she s also seen as a stabilizing and veteran force. for all of her controversies and problems that some of her critics have in the democratic
doesn t believe that, or say, yes, he does believe that, and have the president offer a contradictory statement. look, chris, we know he is a short-timer. they are looking for a replacement. it tells you something about how undesirable that job is that they apparently can t find someone who s willing to stand up there and play that role. i mean you have to be in cirque de soleil to be a spokesman for donald trump for all the twisting and turning and unbelievable kind of maneuvers you have to make to try and survive there. i think sean s just running out there waiting for someone else to come up there and take a beating. yeah, he definitely didn t deny it when he was asked about what he was up to next. these reports. what about the georgia six, david? i stayed up way too late watching you on tv in the wake of the big karen handel victory. you see the numbers on the screen. you have congressman molten
