any evidence that three million people voted illegally obviously. so he lies about it after he loses to hillary clinton the popular vote by almost three million votes, says he s going to put a commission together. was saying that to us the first week he was in the white house, his commission is going to show x, y, z. the commission blows apart, it s a lie and yet he returns to the lie. what s going on? look at what we have. we re in april of his second year and there is no legislative agenda for the rest of the year. they got their tax cuts last year but that s it. there s nothing on the plate. no infrastructure bill of any consequence. there s no other effort for him to be pushing so what has he done? he s returning to the core theme, the core theme being immigration, be afraid, they re coming over the border, they re coming to get us. hey, alex, instead of trump makes bizarre false claims, can you say trump lies and then just
clear that they are going to push back on the chinese in a transactional way and in ways that deal with what are perceived to be unfair trade practices. choreography matters. you have to have diplomats on the ground to help you with that. you certainly have to have a strategy that integrates the core elements of national security with national economic interests and we just have to see how it plays out but the core theme is power politics between the great powers is back and it involves economic instruments as much as missiles and military power. it s really reassuring that we have so much diplomatic clout and such terrific people in the white house and the cabinet to deal with all of these really complex issues. kelly o donnell, they were saying today it was on, it was off. you have peter navarro, this anti-free trade advocate, in the room and increasingly important. tell us what is going on behind the scenes because there seems to be a lack of communication today on this.
the times notes that by comparison, democrats in 80 districts do not have a republican opponent for their seat. and if you follow internal party debates you, may recall that fielding candidates across all 50 states was a core theme of howard dean s run for party chair back in 2004. now all of this could pay off next year. look at these polls. you democrats showing an 18-point advantage in the mid terms. that s for cnn. or 15 points per quinnipiac. or 11 points, that s our nbc/wall street journal poll. dave wasserman covers house races for the cook political report. he just crunched his numbers. when he saw those polls and those numbers, he wrote, in all caps, tsunami alert. like these numbers don t look like a wave. they look like a full-on tsunami that could wipe out republicans in next year s election. that s his take on the math. and he is on the last word next.

lesson from alabama run everywhere you can now appears to be spreading. democratic candidates have filed in all but 20 house districts held by republicans. dems not just in districts where president clinton ran well, but for seats uncontested in 2016 where republicans do remain heavy favorites like texas, arkansas, nebraska. the times notes that by comparison, democrats in 80 districts do not have a republican opponent for their seat. and if you follow internal party debates you, may recall that fielding candidates across all 50 states was a core theme of howard dean s run for party chair back in 2004. now all of this could pay off next year. look at these polls. you democrats showing an 18-point advantage in the mid terms. that s for cnn. or 15 points per quinnipiac. or 11 points, that s our nbc/wall street journal poll. dave wasserman covers house races for the cook political report. he just crunched his numbers. when he saw those polls and
said/he said situation that s difficult to prove guilt beyond a reasonable. but if you can get additional witnesses telling the same story, it s certainly much more powerful evidence. there s also a tremendous irony here. i want to play a little bit of sound. the president at other points was reaching back to the hillary clinton in the campaign to president clinton s appearance on loretta lynch s plane. you can forget the degree to which investigations and the sort of looming investigations was a core theme of the president s campaign down the stretch. take a listen to this. there s virtually no doubt that fbi director comey and the great, great special agents of the fbi will be able to collect more than enough to garner indictments against hillary clinton and her inner circle despite her efforts to disparage them and to discredit them. if she were to win this election, it would create an
