to be attacking barack obama. they spent a lot of time in the debate attacking the obama legacy. i sort of understand why some of it happened. it s after this week if democrats don t understand the folly, the id asy, going on with that, barack obama had flaws but this week makes epically clear how insane it is for democrats to be focusing on anything besides donald trump, let alone focusing on barack obama, again, he some failures but just think about how he performed in these moments when he was president. my colleague jacob soboroff is joined by beto o rouke. no one made a stronger, more blunt case about donald trump than your guest, jacob. and nicolle wallace, nobody has made a stronger or blunt case about donald trump than you have. congressman, right now the president is on the tarmac greeting the members of the
officials in ohio, former vice president joe biden and now about to descend on a city where there s not a lot of agreement his presence will help their healing. actually, the president just touched down in the last moment or two. the president has arrived in el paso and there are divided feelings waiting there to greet him. there are a lot of protesters there cutting back and forth to the event with the prayer and public speakers. we have seen time and time again today s following a familiar pattern for the president when it comes to following a tragedy. he can hit the right notes in person, go to the hospital and say the right things but when he retreats to the safety of his cabin or air force one or white house, he turns and puts on the cable news and turns to twitter and reacts. it s remarkable, midday flying from one city to the other,
