but what is triis troubling is trump that has shown that he has no respect for our institutions of justice by going out there and criticizing special counsel mueller for everything that he is doing and the independent investigation he is supposed to be doing. the fact that donald trump is out there criticizing him and thinking that the justice system is here to defend him as president and not on look at something objectively, that is what is troubling to me. i m curious susan, though, with regard to the way everyone looks at robert mueller on capitol hill, adrian is talking about the base and thatmined hi base, but others say he has i integri integrity. how do you see this playing out with congress? i think that they all
it does is it undermines the institution to paul s point. you can criticize the judge and say plus the ruling hasn t even happened yet so that s inappropriate to go after the judges asaing eve an bad high school student can understand the statute. perhaps but he s not doing himself any good by going after the judges in this way. jeffrey lord was on the program last night or it all blends together and i said to him would you recommend politically donald trump go after these judges before there s a ruling and he said absolutely. good for the base. plays into hi base and continues his theme. as a conservative who believes there are a lot of activist federal judges out there, one of the issues conservatives have fought against for years, i get that, but he s pilots now and it s irresponsible for him toll circle back to federal judiciary when it s a co-equal branch. it makes it look like he has no
have basically given up on he expanding that he knows his hey to solidify hi base. he believes his base is so much more enthusiastic and her base is less enthusiastic for her. that s the way the math will work, they re not focused only on the battleground states and this is not a nationwide campaign for donald trump, and that s their very narrow path. monica, great reporting, as always. thank you so much. it s another day and another wikileaks dump. podesta drew a direct drin to
president. so mitch mcconnell, speaker john boehner, they have to deal with the fact that president obama was reelected to raise taxes on the top 2% and speaker boehner and the republicans can t get their hands around their caucus, then the blame is on them. jarret, what do you think about all of this? you deal with the policy. you deal with the numbers. there has been some offers from the president, even to the chagrin of hi base. how do you make where we are? well, listening to the three of you and your introduction, i m just struck a real low point in american politics over a period when there s been pretty good kovcompetition for the low of the low points. i m also really kind of moved by
was in trump tower, calling mexicans rapists. then his first action as president was to impose a muslim ban. what started as dog whistle politics to his base that he continues to throw red meat to has turned into a bullhorn where he just every day, he has to go out there and throw red meat to hi base. but the good thing is that there are other people in this country by the millions who are coming together as a counter to his divisive policies and rhetoric. and i say thank goodness that so many of us still believe in what this country stands for. that woman who went up on the statue of liberty, you know what, they can t take it that this is a person who s an immigrant who is grateful and who looks to the statue as a symbol of our country welcoming immigrants and being an inclusive country. they can t take it and so they try to malign her, as they try to malign anybody who disagrees with them. senator, thanks for your time tonight. thank you.
