structure structures in our political system, as envisioned by the founders, that sometimes they re going to disadvantage democrats, but the truth of the matter is, is that if we have a strong message, if we re speaking to what the american people care about, typically you know, the popular vote and the electoral college vote will align, and i guess part of my overall message here as i leave for the holidays is that if we looked for one explanation or one silver bullet, or one easy fix for our politics, then we re probably
initiative and school nutrition program is a greater threat to democracy than our government going after the press if they re issuing a story we don t like. i mean that s an issue that i think we ve got to wrestle with. and we will. people asked me how do you feel after the election? i say well, look, this is a clarifying moment. it s a useful reminder that voting counts, politics counts, what the president-elect is going to be doing is going to be very different
tonight, infighting and the white house. anthony scaramucci goes to war against leaking on his first week on the job. kellyanne conway is here with reaction. but mike emanuel is alive on the battle over obamacare. mike, aren t they usually on vacation by now? pretty close. a good evening you, sean. we do have some breaking news. mitch mcconnell has just posted the details of the republican health care plan that say a skinny repeal plan, getting rid of the popular parts of the obamacare, four g.o.p. senators came out late saying that there would be unknow on the so-called skinny repeal plan. john mccain, lindsey graham, ron johnson and bill cassidy wanted a severances from paul ryan that it would go to conference to hammer out a more comprehensive plan.
conference if that s what those senators wanted but he said basically, the senate would have to take up the bill that came out of the conference first. he didn t want his numbers taking all the tough votes and the senator sitting ba
say about this controversy after the sort of the statement after statement that changed the story a little bit on donald trump jr. s meeting with this russian lawyer. he basically said my son is a high quality individual, he s been transparent and open. he s come out and given the whole story. but there are a lot of questions that still remain and in the white house i think they re very well aware these are not questions that are going to go away and they re not questions that they re prepared to take. there s a lot of legal jeopardy around this meeting. there s a question of whether the president himself knew about it. of course we heard donald trump jr. say in the interview last night that he had not discussed it with his father. but that is going to really hamstring their ability to get ahead of this story. i think there are a lot of questions about what more the president can say without getting a little too close to what is really one of the more damaging revelations of the last

why, next was the fbi involved in this? the agency has 35,000 employees. it s got unmatched resources and expertise. it s the fbi. why would it even consider going to a private investigator to do research on a president-elect? keep in mind, this is not the first time the fbi has outsourced a major investigation. recall that federal agents never examined the dnc servers after they were supposedly hacked by an outside party during the campaign. instead, the fbi relied on the work of a dnc contractor this assured them that russia was behind the hacking. why would the fbi do that? did anyone at the justice department consider that hiring third party actors with unclear motives to conduct a high-profile investigation might be an excellent way for say foreign intelligence operations to sow chaos and promote their agendas? at the least without claims be colored by their natural desire
