you re not allowed to be. that s important to maintain public support. i also think they need to go ahead and ask lena dunham to exit stage left. she offended middle america. talking about not having had the opportunity to have an abortion. things like that alienate people. for the democrats to be successful for the left to be successful in this movement, they really do have to go back to winning back the voters that actually voted for barack obama in places like michigan and ohio and pennsylvania, and then decided to vote for donald trump. they need to appeal to middle america, to white working class voters in particular. the folks that hillary clinton lost to donald trump. and that s really the challenge that they face. you know, you might have a point with that. when hillary clinton was having the rallies with celebrities in order to get the crowds to turn out more in force, donald trump was just standing on a stage alone and he pointed that out. you can have a point when it comes
and the other side is the enemy. so anything that you do is justified and you just have to look one administration back and everyone s roles were reversed. i think donald trump is able with his charisma, his support, you know, his inability to feel, you know, shame about what he does or says, garners a level of support from his, from people and his allies that makes establishment republicans worried that they cannot be consistent on policy. completely dedicated, completely loyal, the question is once his support starts to crack, what do we see the senate leadership do? that is something we re going to have to hold because i have to go to break. stay with us, please. still ahead, the trump administration wants the court to reinstate the controversial travel ban. where the case stands ahead of tonight s showdown. me to reach my goals.use wha e
he was making the argument that pushing back against the administration and pushing back against all the powers in government. it s really not an id logical thing. everybody should be doing it. the reality is though, the republicans are taking a bit of a back seat to pushing it back against donald trump trying to overreach on his executive power, do they have a responsibility or are they going to see any negative effects if they don t stand up and say hold on, wait a minute, we need you to we need to reign you in a little bit? no, i think voters have such a disgust for washington that anyone that goes in there on the promise to change it, shake it up, break it even, is going to have a level of support among the electorate that we could not imagine 10, 15, 20 years ago. so republicans who under the obama administration, government s overreaching, executive orders, oh my god are now saying, oh well that s effective. because there is this notion that you can support your own team almo
refugee crisis in syria compared to terrorist attacks. i think you would find probably that the syrian coverage is more deficient than the coverage of terrorist attacks. you had a great article in the new york times with maggie haberman a couple days ago where you took us behind the scenes in the white house and gave us an idea about what s going on, there s one detail about how they were holding meetings in cabinet rooms, they didn t know how to turn the lights on. that was something that struck out to me. there was a number of interesting details including donald trump watching television. talk to me about the leaks, why are you hearing so much from people inside the white house eager to tell you what s going on? well, i think to some extent been it s funny, you know, sean spicer, the press secretary who i ve known for years and is a nice guy, pushed back very hard against some of the details that were included in this. truth of the matter is the piece was meant to illustrate t
effective in the 2010 midterm elections. they were force to be reckoned with, do you foresee, joan, the same thing happening with the movements we re seeing on left? can they sustain themselves to make a difference in 2010? 2018. and 20 and 22, i don t think anyone can predict that yet, katie. the thing that i would say about them, that makes me hopeful as a liberal is that despite people trying to call them astroturf and george is paying everyone, what i ve heard from people all around the country not just at that washington march is that they saw people they ve never seen marching before. so this is touching. i think the shock of donald trump s election a lot were apathetic. they didn t think he could win and he won.
