counterterror operations, keep on eye on iran and pakistan, that was the military argument for leaving a small residual force behind. and i think that then you had the president say, no, when donald trump said we re getting out completely, that means that once we leave anybody there, they become targets, and i also think he saw the possibility and the opportunity to do what no other president had been able to do before and end it. that was more important to him than any of the arguments about why a very small force might be cost effective in the long run. kristen, mitch mcconnell was on one side of this inside the republican coalition and donald trump was on the other. it s pretty clear this probably would have been just as bad, if not worse, under what trump wanted to do. he wanted to pull everybody out by christmas. if he had won re-election, perhaps he may have done that. is this a big blow for the
anne, it does seem as if it s funny. i think all of i don t want to say biden, his numbers have fallen a little bit. i think it s all covid related. yes, there s other stuff going on. as covid goes, everything else looks worse if covid is not going well. right. that was his bet from the beginning. i will have a successful presidency and redeem the vote that americans placed in me, faith americans placed in in me if i can get ahead of the virus and roll out the vaccines effectively and fix the economy that covid destroyed. that was it, and that s all they did for three months. they really thought they were on top of it. so the fact that this whole resurgence is coming not only that it s coming at all, but that it s coming at exactly the moment when his legislative agenda, which they deferred, waiting to get covid out of the way is now actually finally rolling through and, obviously, this much closer to the midterms was a blow beyond anything that
have heard, is voters who have a deal with themselves that maybe biden can get in there and serve one term and then make way for somebody else, or that biden s going to recover some of what they liked about him in 2012. you do hear just a lot of excuse making by people, and i don t want to say i don t want to demean, there are people who loved him for years, want him to run for president eight years ago, ten years ago, 20 years ago and they re all in. a lot of the support from people who thought based on the polling, and still look at the polling and say if he s up by 15 and warren is up by 8, he s the safe choice. they ve not seen evidence yet though more keeps emerging as a nominee against donald trump he might have some issues. the thing to watch here is not so much the immediate spin from the debate but what the trump campaign and what other kihei maekawas a maekawas democrats are doing with footage from the debate and trying to get in as many inboxes as possible video of biden
i have never believed polls. i thought leading up to the mid terms i don t think they were completely accurate as we went into the mid-terms. we see them and we take note. jesse: do you have internal polling? we absolutely do and it is very different. i think what we are seeing in polls is people are not always truthful when it comes to supporting president trump. the media makes you feel like there is something wrong with you or it s a bad thing to support a path who will go down in history as one of the best presidents america has ever had. jesse: they don t talk to the exit polling people. they hang up the phone when reuters people ask them what they think of the president. maybe people don t want to say, yes i m voting for president trump for reelection.
