investigation. now what do you make of mnuchin s response? is this a valid concern? i think it s a pretty shifty, shaky response on the part of secretary mnuchin but he s having to rationalize or excuse something that is very difficult to rationalize or excuse. here we have at least as democrats and critics of the president would see it the president doing exactly what he had been accused of doing in the mueller probe. the mueller probe was about whether the president was willing to collude with a foreign power to influence an american election. here, at least in the minds of democrats, the president no sooner has mueller reported than the president is on the phone, you know, hello, foreign government, would you collude with me to help influence an election or to hit an opponent. the crassness of that and the crudeness of that i think is very difficult to excuse by anyone. barbara, i want your take on this whistle-blower saga because it continues this week with the
positive, he wants to reintroduce himself to voters, he wants to position himself against trump, and everyone else wants to use him to launch their own campaigns. eddy, kamala harris also on night two. npr reporting that while harris had a strong roll joust hout of campaign, she hasn t taken off since. she made her mark last year while grilling brett kavanaugh during the confirmation hearings. that prosecutorial zeal zrr that hurt her at all with the more liberal wing the party? well, yes in certain pays there s a sense in which her record as da and attorney general in california she ll have to account for and explain it. but what i expect from kamala harris is an elegant toughness. we don t need the crudeness and crassness of donald trump, but we need someone who s tough enough to speak to the moment, to speak to our challenges, but that can t be crude. so i m looking for her to be
we always talk about the dial moving a little on his support level. the best bet now, it won t move an inch against him, don t you think? his people don t seem to be offended by the reality that s biting here. right, there is a sense that some of this is and to be clear, this doesn t minimize any of the allegations or accusations against him, but there is a sense, especially from his team and supporters, that this was baked in the cake, right? there is nothing that is coming out against the president now that his supporters and his voters don t he s a rapist, live with it. it s horrible. in the week of the access hollywood tape. you re right in a way, and the crudeness of it, anyway, carol respond to the president s comments on cnn last night, let s listen too her. he s denied all 15 women who have come forward. he denies, he turns it around, he threatens, and he attacks. it was against my will and it
