republican side and going back to the point scott jennings made earlier, i think he represents what you may see more republicans move in that direction. i thought while hurd was talking when he first started, my god, he s going to break. and then he swerved right at the last minute. hurd has in the past gone farther than a lot of other republicans. yeah, he s got about an 80% rate of voting with this president. he has broken with him on serious stuff surrounding immigration. he is in a district, you know, that s turning. he won this last election by about 2,000 votes. he is obviously retiring because he probably couldn t win that seat again. this is classic will hurd sort of joking with david before the show that this is kind of what he does, and he plays to people like david who think oh, he s going to side with the democrats and be something other than, you know, kind of a republican that falls in line with his president. but, again, he didn t think that this inquiry was a good i
believes, hiring the wrong people, hiring william taylor, where are all these state department people coming from, these key witnesses, it s mike s fault, and shutting him out, icing him out of key discussions. this is what the president had to say on fox about mike pompeo and that it would be okay if he ran for the senate from kansas. if i thought they had somebody out there that couldn t win, and mike would really, he loves what he s doing, but if i thought they had somebody out there, and he came to me and said, look, i would rather stay where i am but he loves kansas, he loves the people of kansas, if he thought there was a chance of losing that seat, i think he would do that. and he would win in a landslide. mike crowley, that s a big invitation, i think, to the secretary of state. this might be a good time for you to take a leave and go back to kansas where you ve been flying all the time on that big government plane to do interviews with local kansas
like he s spent much time around black people. and i don t know how you get over that. i don t know why he hasn t really spent much time around black people. i don t think that s something you can sort of make up with a douglas plan or, you know, going tomo to more house and taking pictures with a bunch of morehouse students. and there s obviously low name i.d. and maybe there s not the electable thing. i think to your point, he just doesn t seem comfortableable ta talking about these issues. barack obama was largely dismissed by some as a guy four years out of the illinois state sna senate when he ran, and there was a widespread suspicion that he couldn t win. when he won the iowa caucuses, the whole psychology changed. this is a dynamic process, and so how do you persuade people you can win? you win. you look like a winner, and winner begets winning. that s what he s counting on. whether it will get him there, i
and the question becomes does that help or hurt that process? i hear you are on it. i appreciate you taking that question, tricky as it is. let s go back to the meat and potatoes of the election. why are these people saying they want to get in all of a sudden? bloomberg, deval patrick, maybe a third. how do you read this? that s up to them and if ne get in, chris, one thing is clear, we will welcome them in. another thing is clear, if they don t get in, we have a great field. why do you think they need to get in, a deval patrick, a bloomberg. he said two months ago he couldn t win. what do you think they re picking up on? i think you ll have to ask them that question. we have a great deep bench now. at least three or four of the candidates are already beating donald trump in the polling. if we have additional candidates i welcome them. if we don t, i am absolutely confident about the candidates we have right now. they re taking it to donald trump, we re leading with our values an
constitution and laws of the united states. and they ve seen with speaker pelosi and democrats in the house, they need to make sure we take care of health care, that we pass a bill to stabilize affordable care. we re not passing any laws and the question becomes does that help or hurt that process? i hear you are on it. i appreciate you taking that question, tricky as it is. let s go back to the meat and potatoes of the election. why are these people saying they want to get in all of a sudden? bloomberg, deval patrick, maybe a third. how do you read this? that s up to them and if they get in, chris, one thing is clear, we will welcome them in. another thing is clear, if they don t get in, we have a great field. why do you think they need to get in, a deval patrick, a bloomberg. he said two months ago he couldn t win. what do you think they re picking up on? i think you ll have to ask them that question. we have a great deep bench now. you look at least three or four of the cand
