pick? i think the supreme court will consume the midterm debate certainly for the next couple weeks once a pick is made, that s something that will continue to hammer candidates on either side on. more longer term, like thele poing we ve shown show that democrats will run a lot on health care. republicans are certainly going to focus on the on going legacy of donald trump s change for the courts. the senate under mitch mcconnell appointed more federal judges. i think republicans will hammer away on that as the importance of keeping control of the house and senate to keep that legacy going. let s stick with the midterms here, nick. axios is looking how the democrats plan to torment president trump if they take back the house, if being the keyword, they take back the house. what is their plan involve here? right. i think the fall of scott pruitt is interesting. he went under because democrats and republicans pulled his aides
accomplishments including a road map for peace and leveling the playing field with american partners. president trump: we are doing so well. we are lngillions and millions of americans from welfare, to work. from dependence to independence and poverty to prosperity. trump also recognized the coalition of it once forgotten americans who have now mobilized into a formidable political force. shannon: thank you very much on a rainy night in columbia. partisan outrageous side of the new york times suggests there is a level of unity among republican voters i could help the g.o.p. chances during the terms of keeping control of congress. the headline reads numb to outrage, they feel a deepening bond to trump. fox news contributor of dog shown who is also a former
steve: welcome back. by now hit you have heard about sarah sanders been asked to leave a restaurant and nielsen sent out an another. listen to this, from a front-page story in today s new york times. quote, in an interview s across the country over the last few days, dozens of trump voters and strategists describe something like a bonding expense with the president that happens each time republicans have to answer a familiar question how can you possibly still support this man. they are resilient and a level of unity that could help litigate his lower approval ratings and ate his party s chances of keeping control in the house of representatives in november.
saw yesterday was quite remarkable. now we re in the middle of a government shutdown as we try to predict in late january what s going to happen in november, all the signs point to the president s party traditionally gets whacked any way and if you look at the numbers, signs like that to the democrats say, we can take back the house and make the senate. the big question is the magnitude here. i don t think that republicans, while they may be loathed to admit it republican are holding on great hopes of keeping control of the house. i think that they do feel more optimistic about the possibility of keeping control of the senate. we re still talking about potentially, you know, a 51 vote margin which we re seeing right now is not necessarily the position you want to be in if you actually want to try to get things done in washington. but one of the big questions is how long are peoples attention spans at this point. is anyone going to be blamed for the government shutdown? will trump vo
