Goes on both sides, and by the way, you think they re picking their battles? the democratic leader in the senate voted against the wife of the republican leader, okay? elaine chao, what was that? was that picking and choosing your battles? that was the first time in the history of this country that a transportation secretary got opposition votes. this shows you where we are a little bit. that s the problem is i m saying that there is enormous pressure. i m not going to underplay this. there were thousands of people outside chuck schumer s house in brooklyn the other night. we are in a very dangerous place as a country when they can t pick and choose. is it dangerous? the tea party, you could argue that what president trump, tea party. straight line, right, alex? i was there for a lot of you call it dangerous. on this i agree with tavis, that you need to be for something. there is a new party of no in town and it s the democratic party. i ve been there, and i ve seen
