he is clearly subscribing to the notion if you can t win the process, win the story. so he s not going to win the process. republicans have the votes, but he can win the story. which is exactly what we re talking about. this is someone who is trying to comply. i think we re also seeing a legal strategy. one of the things that abbe lowell said, they sent five different letters to the committee saying we ll do it this way or how about this way, and they got no response. congress is going to hold hunter biden in contempt and make a criminal referral to the department of justice. doj doesn t really want to take criminal referrals but they especially don t want to take this one where we have publicly seen hunter biden try to comply. this is a legal defense, but it also is a political and public defense, saying i might lose the process, but i m going to win the story. i mean, they are already saying they re going to send this referral to the justice
base that s for republicans and trump. and then there s the abortion one, which they don t want any piece of. donald trump tried to kind of walk a line with it and sound reasonable about it, but this is a losing issue for them. women are going to die, women are already dying. it s a problem. how do those two issues play into this election year? so i think one of the things that we keep talking about in the media is lutein owes are shifting republican, and the data, joy, just doesn t add up, quite frankly. during the midterm elections what we saw from pew was that there was a dip in latino turnout and the people who turned out were republican because they did get reached out to. this is an opportunity for the democrats to say, if you want to win, you re going to make sure that latinos that have supported you historically continue to support you at a record level. that means talking to them and investing in them. to your point, the immigration happening at the border, that s not an imm
it is a strategy because you re absolutely right. there s so many issues facing us as a country that we should be tackling, and they re obfuskating and dragging their feet because they don t want to do tough things, that s policy for betterment of the american people. david, can we spare a thought for chris christie here, who give him credit, lawrence o donnell, he had us giggling last night, saying this is the one time he had respect for chris christie, but i have to say, i respect what he s tried to do. he s a lonely voice that speaks very plainly, in a plain spoken language about what trump is, because he knows the man. he s known him for 25 years. he knows he s a crook. he knows he doesn t care about his base at all. what do you think he winds up doing, because he has said he s going to do everything he can to prevent trump from being elected president again. what can he do? who is his audience? yeah, i think he possibly ends up speaking at the dnc, endorsing joe biden, and hit
