down, he gets credit for all ten rather than one. let me just first say it was nice to see a president who can give a speech using complete sentences and not lie every third word. nice to be reminded by that watching president obama. and the other part too when you were talking about donald trump saying or showing that clip that donald trump didn t pay attention to the speech or fell asleep wlahatever it was he was saying. donald trump is obsessed with obama. irvi everybody he has done as a president was to undue what obama has done. obama is a complete direct rebuke of trump and trumpism. i wish we would have talked about the economy a lot more. during his presidency. he actually did. i remember early on in the presidency we talked about where we were with the economy and what obama was able to do with the stimulus package and how we were trying to move the economy forward. that s not what folks wanted to
as a cut to punish our political opponents or to explicitly call on the attorney general to protect members of our own party from prosecution. you know, dean, i heard on another network donald trump s desire to use the department of justice is on another network described as he thinks he has his own kgb. you have people like lindsey graham who do absolutely nothing. say if he wants to fire the attorney general, i guess he wants to. i am confused as to how it is that because donald trump because he is president, why the co-equal branch of government, must then fall on their knees and put on butler uniforms and serve him tee. i don t understand it. you shouldn t understand it. no one should. it s wrong. it s not political. it s not normal. it s wrong. congress is mandated by the constitution to be a check on the president and they re not. the answer is 59 days from today
the republican party. there truly isn t. this is donald trump is the modern day republican party. that s is, full stop. they own donald trump. there s something one thing i wanted to bring up and why i say that they own donald trump. in 2011 when donald trump came out and supported birtherism and went around and talking about the president president barack obama, a year later in 2012, mitt romney practically begged for donald trump s, you know, endorsement. so, they own him. they didn t birtherism is inherently racist and they did not they did not kick him out. they welcomed him. they wanted his endorsement then in 2012. so, they own everything. they own trumpism. trumpism is the heart and soul and the brain of the republican party. and to that very point, birtherism is the policy on the southern border where they re taking away people s passports and making them show their midwife papers to show they were born in the united states.
points in the last ten years. five under president obama. african-american trump loves to claim responsibility. ten points in the last year. 90% under president obama. one point under trump. yet he wants to claim the responsibility in all the accomplishments of the black president president. he wants to co-op president obama s legacy and at the same time demeanize the man. that s been his mo. it s like his first lady who is a brilliant line at the republican convention was michelle obama s line. do you think this kind of a speech during the obama presidency, particularly on the issue dean mentioned on the economy, tauting the economic comeback, do you wish president obama had done that then so that people in their minds would always be crediting him rather than donald trump being able to sell them on the idea that ten points of unemployment coming
between the russian government and the trump campaign. then president trump puts out a third list of nominees and your name is on that list. does it trouble you at least the appearance of it, the appearance is that donald trump is trying to stack the court in such a way as to ensure that he cannot be held accountable if robert mueller finds him guilty or finds him finds there s evidence that he colluded with russia or committed obstruction of justice. i m not sure, joy that certainly judge kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. we have the numbers. they re there. i m not sure that two justices are going to be able to control the supreme court that have been appointed by donald trump. what about five. you have some. you can assume we ve always been able to guess most of the time how four of the justices would vote. right. the only swing vote was kennedy. you know, you can assume what s going to happen a lot of the time. the court has become quite partisan. you can make the assumpti
