news. i want to ask you about this. there s a new book, collin. it s written by steve levingston. he says in the book that speculates that former president obama opposed the 2016 run by former vice president joe biden because he was just another white guy that would continue to have his bold legacy of change in mind. i don t know if that is true. doesn t ring true to me, but that will cause another round of speculation did obama support joe biden running in 2020 or was he skeptical and why was he skeptical. the problem is joe biden has predicated his entire candidacy on the idea that he was president obama s running mate and vice president. so every time a story comes out, it undermines his entire reason for running. he spent a week dealing with stories about his son and the ukraine.
sure it s a very big challenge for his family but this is actually there are national indications when someone like that is engaged in political business. laura: he didn t come to the announcement of joe biden running for the presidency. he wasn t on stage for that. i mean, that s interesting. is also interesting that the media seem to think that they can do the same thing they did with the hillary clinton email scandal. just to assert there is no problem there and then laura: if your conspiracy, all of your wild conspiracy theories for even asking questions about this. right and then they think the voters won t have legitimate concerns about this. laura: it s the worst art of self production. there s 2020 trump g.o.p. primary opponent, kind of a ghost from the 1980s, he offered this legal solution to taking down the president. talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control u.s. election.

the senate republicans voting in favor of that, and i m a little unsure about what the strategy is of coming out with such a tepid statement, not even in defense of the president, but asupposing nancy pelosi. i mean, it makes me wonder if they assume that something bigger is coming down the pike but i really just don t know. so, i mean, i think a lot of democrats are relieved that we re finally at a moment because as the republicans are going to try and say, the democrats are relitigating 2016. and that s not the case. the democrats are finally saying there are so many egregious acts committed by this president and he s been aided and abetted by people in his party. this is now something where he s actively moving towards 2020. on such a big news night, i don t want to make light, but i don t remember joe biden running in 2016. that is true. right. as i understand it, one of the potential nominees no one knows what s going to happen and a member of the obama
approval rating in their first midterm. obama lost 63 seats in the house, trump lost 41. is 41 great? no, but is not 63. so don t read too much into that. melissa: when you said it s the moderates who flipped out and they sound like this guy, is there anybody besides joe biden running for president in 2020 was in that top ten who sounds like this? who sounds moderate? jessica: not in the top ten. there are bits and pieces of it. harris: nobody else matters. john delaney sounds like it. jessica: steve bullock, he s my favorite who is not on the stage. melissa: the trend of naming and shaming trump supporter s is growing at its even got liberals concerned. is the president right to call it modern-day mccarthyism? we will debate that next. you wouldn t accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don t. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most
