decen decency. and trump sometimes seems like somebody who has no moral sense, like moral rules and things don t seem to more a moral than moral. it s like telling a color blind person this is purple. i think he s just perpetually surprised because he doesn t have awareness of this. this is a case where people in the military i knew, trump voters, were deeply, deeply offended. this is the type of story that could penetrate. this is sometimes where i wonder, this was deeply offensive and a nonidealogical way. that s a challenge for democrats, is that it s very difficult from sort of a messaging perspective to launch this challenging impeachment process and also to be able to have this focus on these other issues. the story of the secretary of the navy being ousted or resigning has been totally covered up. or pushed to the side by the impeachment story. thanksgiving, too. exactly, but the impeachment story is dominating the way democrats talk about the president, and it s n
about his subsequents. as someone who was committed to democracy and all of it s flaws. we ll have to look through his papers to get the details as it were, but what i would say is this, we are running deficits in decen decency. and to lose elijah cummings today triples that deficit. and so in this moment when it seems like folk have no concern of character, no concern about value, no concern about ethics. to lose a states man like him who was so committed to being fair, compassionate, convicted, we have lost so much in just such a short period of time. i want to bring in two people that share one of the most important days of their life with elijah cummings, the

we are united. now, i know that a lot of you guys are going to process this tivoli, like what do i care about nikki haley here s why this matters. one, she could be somebody who runs for president of the united states. i don t think it would happen against donald trump. that would take a lot of chutzpah to run in party, especially this next time, assuming that the president runs again. if not, all the calculus changes. but she could run after that. her big challenge for all the boxes that she checks, and remember, nikki haley as a governor in south carolina was very popular with lots of different types of people. and right now she is popular with left and right. so that s unusual. she s got a big challenge, though. and she just spoke to it there. the coarsening of american politics. h our inability to disagree with decen decency. has she spoken out about it in
panel of investigators at a place and time of her choosing out of the public eye, when that was not communicated, it sure looks to me, at least the circumstantial evidence would seem to point to the desire to have exactly what we had yesterday and to contribute to what has only been what has been described as accurately as a circus atmosphere. cruel, reckless, no sense of decen decency. i would point to the fact that judge kavanaugh said that as long as this nomination has been pending you ve seen a trend toward more and more scurrilous, salacious, and uncorroborated allegations being made against him, all of which the chairman
