it proves cnn can t have nice things. you give them something, they don t know what to do. they throw a tantrum. i thought trump handler pretty well. dana: i wanted to say something else. this white house press corps, when the balance of power switches, the attention from the media s which is too. now the people that will be driving the media coverage for the most part are hill reporters, not at the white house. all of those editing decisions are happening on the hill. the white house, if you are on defense coming are constantly trying to figure how to get back on offense. it might not be a problem for this white house but i saw it in 2006 and 07 for the white house reporter student matters much and there s another reason, a lot of reporters and may be acosta will be one of them, will head out pretty soon for the presidential campaign trail. juan: it looked like a verbal brawl might was so it was so disappointing.
the senate for a different news outlet, and the time i was going to get to interview john mccain or encounter him for an interview, i was nervous and i went over the question i had prepared for him about eight or n nine times in my head. and i asked my question, as the elevator doors closed, he said, that was a stupid question. i asked him a different question. he answered it. and he ended his response and said, not such a stupid question, there are a bunch of hill reporters that had the same encounter with senator john mccain, where he dressed them down. a lot of them wear that badge of honor. that s why you hear a lot of people refer to senator john mccain being a man of intelligence, a man of courage, a man of character. frankly, a peerless public servant. it s one of the reasons that chuck schumer, the senate democratic leader is going to issue a resolution, to have the
of his last minute rally saturday night. but now that connor lamb has edged him out, we see trump trying to claim credit for that as well. a lot of hill reporters were waiting to see what the president would say about this race. of course with ed gillespie, roy moore, he was quick to tweet he hasn t supported those candidates. but he was unusually silent on rick saccone today. so the remarks were important on that he was not only taking credit for connor lamb s victory but also breaking his silence. sit your sense that those people in the room, republican donors, are so completely ignorant of the campaign that they think the democrat said i love the tax cuts and they don t know that the democrat ran against trump tax cuts? no, i wouldn t characterize
presidential campaign. this was donald trump saying that the democrat won because he said i m like trump? exactly. it s just another instance, lawrence, where you think, following an unfavorable election for republicans, trump trying to have it both ways. if rick saccone had won trump would have said it was because of his last minute rally saturday night. but now that connor lamb has edged him out, we see trump trying to claim credit for that as well. a lot of hill reporters were waiting to see what the president would say about this race. of course with ed gillespie, roy moore, he was quick to tweet he hasn t supported those candidates. but he was unusually silent on rick saccone today. so the remarks were important on that he was not only taking credit for connor lamb s victory
