campaign. that s what so many of these new members of congress need to worry about. joe, that s a lesson of whatnot to do. the biggest mistake the democrats can do is overplay. i would throw out that word impeachment for the next three or four months. go back to ruth s point. if we just start to show clips of people s lives being affected by this shut down, the department of agriculture s program, could be nutritional help to 7 million women and children who need help is in jeopardy. things like that, overplaying hands like that is going to backfire. that is a cautionary video of how not to play this. just let it play out, let the president completely, completely go down the drain by himself. keep your eye on the ball, what s best for people. yeah, and you know how old people like us always say thank god there wasn t social media when we were teenagers. i will say here, mika, thank god
to get there. he had a slim chance to begin with but now the quote they re using is virtually impossible, richard. ally, we have the video of those people staring at a piece of paper. who are these folks? reporter: what you re seeing behind me in my live shot is they re counting one of the lowell races in pa local race beach county. when a voter doesn t fill out the ballot in the exact way they re supposed to, maybe the machine is picking up one or more votes in a certain race or no votes in a certain race, they look at the ballots by hand and try to suss out what was the voter intent. that s what they re trying to figure out. did someone put an x when they should have pububbled it in, di they put hearts or stars? in the instance where it looks like a tie, they re not quite
could well lead them to go the subpoena route or to insist, on the other hand, that he invoke his fifth amendment rights. that s something that the president has not wished to do for obvious political reason, but it is his want, it is his option in this case. so i think time will tell as to just how the special counsel s office sees him in this matter. the other development the both of you have been watching along with us is julian assange and the error that potentially was made by copy and paste. he has been charged by the u.s. attorney s office in the eastern district of virginia. when you see that come out, cynthia, the question is how might this correlate to the very process and thinking that robert mueller is now undertaking in approaching president trump? well, it s very important what he s charged with, if in fact he is charged. there s a couple ways to go. a the love things have been he s published lots of things
and challenge the president without overplaying the hand? and i think in the campaign nancy pelosi showed that she had a certain amount of message discipline, and she can provide that kind of leadership. so i think it s very much a mixed bag right now. i mean, republicans all around the country have been running against nancy pelosi for as long as i can remember. in terms of the mixed bag, who are going to be the deputies? she saysing don she s saying don t worry, i m going to pick all of those people want to see to chair the different committees. who is she talking about? i m not sure there s a lot of leaking going out in terms of who the core people are. the night of the election, she had a whole group of people. you can pick a litany of them that will hold their senior positions. i think the bigger question and the part that i think is starting to manifest is when is that new guard going to take over? i think you re starting to hear
sure what the voter intent might have been, tie goes to the voter. but usually the voter intent is pretty apparent. that s when you have people try to talk about what they see on those ballots by hand. one of the issues, ali, was whether or not the federal suggestion of how to put ballots together were followed properly in terms of where you have instructions and where you have the decisions between the different candidates. and there were some developments on that i guess because the rules weren t necessarily followed, right, there in the state of florida. you re right. what i think you re talking about is the idea of the undervote in broward county is the thing we ve heard about consistently, specifically from bill nelson as team. a number of people voted in the governor race but didn t vote in the senate race. if you look at broward county specifically, you had a whole box of instructions and right underneath it tucked away in the corner of the ballot was the u.s. senate rate. t
