if we have a rough midterm, putting aside the legislative challenge of the president declaring, you know, twitter war on two votes he may need, if we have a rough midterm, particularly in the house, then you ve got a bunch of senators who are up in 2020 who may get corkeritis. and say wait a minute, i d rather finish my term with freedom and candor against this president for a couple years. you could also have mitt romney potentially win the senate seat if oren hatch retires and romney decides to run. all of a sudden you have a caucus that could be six, seven, eight of these people, not just corker, flake and mccain right now. robert costa, i want to show you a moment from sean hannity tonight. we ll talk about it on the other side. for all you never trumper senators that are headed for the exits, people like corker and flake, you know what, guess what, you guys, you know, take your other colleagues with you. mitch mcconnell, good-bye. ben sass, good-bye. john cornyn, good-bye. lis
alt-right. to the bob dole point, george bush, when david duke was running for u.s. senator as a republican, he came out and said no way, that we re not accepting bigotry, understanding that duke was the former grand wizard of the kkk and he pushed back against that. the thing also to remember is that what donald trump has done is he is taking a fringe group, the alt-right, a hateful, sexist, racism movement, and normal liesed them. that s what he did by having steve bannon, by having goreka. let s go back a little further. during the campaign, if he wasn t outright using every horrible hateful isms out there, he was doing dog whistles. to say nothing of birtherism. it s what got donald trump his fans among the alt-right, he was willing to indulge in this openly racist conspiracy theory.
foreigners ruining the united states and ruining our democracy, making the country more liberal. when you have people like stephen bannon in the government, so the problem is he s reading what they re writing. like no passion, no fire and fury he did have passion once when he said, on all sides. yeah. this is not about me. i m old enough to remember when republicans used to be against false equivalent. and naziism. i think this country fought the nazis in world war ii. someone like oren hatch, the most long-term senator, comes out and says my brother died fighting the nazis not to have them show up at home. that s right. so the viewers know, i was trying to signal to the control room that i wanted element 8 to come up. bob dole is someone who i believe it was during his convention speech when he was a republican nominee said the republican party is a big ten party but we have no space for people who advocate bigotry and
showed up. and basically cancel them out as any kind of relevance in today s society. he had the opportunity to do that today. as we expected, he missed it. and rob, you just made a movie about lyndon johnson. it s a terrific film. it gets to the idea of what a president can do when he has a sense of the gravity of his office. what do you make of the fact that when donald trump did step up to a microphone, it was to say all sides and to not specifically name these groups as you just heard darryl say? well, because he doesn t care about anything other than donald trump and he s looking at the people that got him there and that s all he cares about. i mean, you mentioned it earlier, joy. marco rubio, oren hatch, paul ryan all saying the right thing but he s the president of the united states and he needs to condemn these groups.
that in graveyards that are around the community of charlottesville and these folks are walking on. it s not just about that one woman. it s about what these people represent. donald trump, i don t know that honestly, after having known that he should say something and not saying something immediately and then maybe he walks around to it later in the week, i m not sure that that is enough. there will be other opportunities. in the meantime, folks who are praying for him need to hold him accountable and say this is wrong and you need to go another way. we have heard from many members and from people from all over the political spectrum. ted cruz, who you work very closely with in the campaign and has called for a department of justice investigation. cory gardener has called for the president to speak out. oren hatch, john mccain, i want to read one more. this is from someone assumingly on the other side of the aisle right now from sally yates, the
