Every day, it seems, the president sounds more and more like a mob boss. Weve been watching him intimidate witnesses, rail against law enforcement, talk about flipping. But this weekend it was the first time he actually unironically used the term rat to describe a guy who, by the way, is about to go to prison. Former if in f former fbi director james comey made a reference to mob boss was on capitol hill today and he was not holding back. What impact does it have when the president calls Michael Cohen a rat, somebody who is cooperating with a investigation and questions how his office was raided by the fbi . It undermines the rule of law. This is the president of the United States calling a witness, who has cooperated with his own justice department, a rat. Say that again to yourself at home and remind yourself where we have ende
This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Two president s, one former, one current out on the campaign trail in the final days before tuesdays midterms. Men and their messages could not be more different. How about that caravan . Do you want to let that caravan just pour in . No i dont think so. It shouldnt be democratic or republican. To say its wrong and spend all your time vilifying folks and calling them enemies of the people and then when bad things happen, suddenly youre concerned with civility.

With commercials, swampier than the everglades. Welcome to the lead, im jake tapper. This time tomorrow, we will be closing in on revealing the first results in the 2018 Midterm Elections. So far, at least 31 million early or absentee ballots have been cast in the First Nationwide test of the trump presidency. At this point in the last mid terms in 2014, that number was only about 19 million. President trump himself has been advising supporters to vote as if he is on the ballot.
