With the full emergency asknowl black person and a female person, i do not have a chance of gang that office in this election year. I make that statement seriously knowing my candidacy can change the face and future of american politics. It was a long shot and Shirley Chisholm lacked the support of the democratic establishment and the black political establishment but she ran.

Despite the deal being celebrated by the Trump Administration, theres still quote, deep skepticism. Whether mexico will do enough and it will reduce the flow of migrants across the border. Was the mt. Trying to save face over bad policy or was this a big show, once again, to make President Trump seem like americas savior. Joining me former aide for george h. W. Bush, joe watkins and david brock. Which is it, david . Was the republicans put pressure because it hurts their reelection as well as the economy or was this trump rolling something out to make himself look good because with all of his tough talk and promises during the campaign, the number of people are going upcoming over the border and hes going into a reelection not being able to say he did anything to stem the tide which is one of the things he promised.
