the green new deal, right, green new deal. i encourage it. i think it s really something that they should promote. i should have saved the pocahontas thing for another year. because i ve destroyed her political career and now i won t get a chance to run against her and i would have loved it. hmm. president trump mocking democrats at cpac yesterday in a warm-up for his re-election campaign. let s bring in democratic strategist bishop garrison, inter executive direct are you of the truman project and brian darling, founder and president of liberty government affairs. with a welcome to you both, and good to see you, as usual. brian, what do you think of the president s tone there? i mean, did it give us a glimpse into his strategy, the tenor of how this campaign s going to go? is it more about being against the democrats than about really
i said in that campaign rally was meant to be a joke, i mean, is he just the worst joke-teller in history? is there anything funny about that? was he meaning it as a joke? well, i think that s where we have to wait for the mueller investigation. that s where we have to wait to see about the backdrop of the setup for what he is calling a joke, what others are calling might be something more. i think that the mueller investigation and the proof is going to be in the pudding. and that pudding is the mueller investigation. we have to wait to see what precise details and what communications were going on behind the scenes. and right now we just don t know. but the bottom line is the president framed last night how he is going to bulldoze through this, regardless of what the mueller investigation says and regardless if the mueller investigation is ever made public. what about the cohen testimony, dave? how much did that influence the president s speech? i mean, he was so clearly frust
