Like global warming. We cant do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the United States. You combine that with the fact that the State Department has essentially been neutered, e s eviscerated by this administration thus far and watching in real time as america and americas image withdraws from the world. Do you know any republican senator or member of the house whos a republican, any party member of any party who believes the president believes he was wiretapped, who even believes he believes it . I dont think anybody knows exactly what donald trump believes and what he doesnt believe. I think whats scary to many republicans is that theyve had the opportunity to walk this back and theyre putting not only the presidency and the reputation of the presidency, but the reputation of the entire country at risk, the longer that this floats out there. The reality is is congress can ask the Department Of Justice as to whether theres a wiretap, bul but if theres an active invest
Maybe early next year sometime. Maybe never. Does the inaction allow members of the house to point their fingers and shift the blame . Well discuss that with a member of the house intelligence committee. Well also bring you the latest on the developing story in dallas where the first ebola patient diagnosed with the United States is now in Critical Condition. Well have a live update from dallas just a few minutes from now. But we are going to begin this morning with this. Look at the calendar there. We are less than one month away from election day. One of the biggest names in american politics is now ready to make her move finally. Maybe not in the way you might think. Hillary clinton, according to politicos maggie haberman, has put together a schedule that will take her to some of the top political battlegrounds, trying to boost her party in what is a very difficult midterm political environment. And also maybe reacclimating herself to life in the campaign spotlight. Shes going to st
But, first this hour, recriminations for both parties in the wake of the midterm elections this week. Incoming majority leader and Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell has said all the right thing about working with democrats without getting things done across the aisle with a new session. Right on cue signs that his own party might not let him. The American People have changed the senate. So, i think we have an obligation to change the behavior of the senate and to begin to function, again. That was Mitch Mcconnell on wen, but New York Times reports that Tea Party Conservatives were baffled by those remarks. They fear mcconnell is playing it too safe and too nice with the white house. They want to use the threat of a Government Shutdown as the ultimate leverage and want to dismantle the Affordable Care act. The stress is also showing for the democrats with the announcements yesterday that the party is planning an extensive review of what went wrong in the last two midterm elections. They are
The other seven meet in an earlier forum. We are joined now from the debate site in cleveland. Gloria borger is here with me in washington. David, youre there. Youre on scene. Its just hours ahead of all of this getting going. Donald trump is promising to be very civil. Thats what he says. What do you think the chances are that hell be able to keep that promise or do you think hes just really going to be unpredictable and we have no idea . Reporter i think hes going to keep that promise, brianna, right up until somebody takes him on. The moment that happens, all bets are off. So i do think hes trying to enter into this debate sort of staying above the fray but he has said very clearly if somebody hits him, hes going to hit back harder and weve seen evidence of that already on the campaign trail. He is what is amazing, brianna, he is totally unpredictable. He is the wild card in this race which is not how you normally describe the guy that is the formidable frontrunner at the debate. Th
Californians are told to get out. As firefighters battle some of the driest conditions ever to try to stop him. Also in national news. Its being blamed for murderous freakouts across the country. Police are issuing a new serious warning about synthetic pot. What is it . Good afternoon, Everyone Welcome to the lead its deadline day, if you work for a republican candidate running for president , or if you are a republican candidate running for president , you probably hear this glaring in your head right now. Republicans are just minutes away from officially finding out if they made the cut for thursdays debate. There are 17 candidates. We do not know which candidates made the final cut. But shiny knew poll numbers, that gives us a pretty good idea. It looks as though the only way rick perry will make it on to that stage is if he takes a lesson from tonya harding. We think we know the top ten here but the fact of the matter is there could be a surprise or two. If there is a tie for 10th
