it, most people look at when they see his testimony there. it s not actually a real bar, but john avlon said it should be a restaurant in washington called squid pro quo. speaking of washington parlor games, let s go to our favorite this morning. and that is that the op-ed, the writer of the anonymous op-ed from september 2018 has now come forward with a book that will be published called the warning, i think. a warning. and it is anonymous. and so there s all sorts of speculation about who the top official is that wrote this. setting that aside, here we have an example of taylor coming forward at risk of his career to report because he thought it was his duty on what he saw. and we have someone who continues to refuse to identify themselves. kind of makes anonymous look bad, i think. but it sells more books.
over and back up and run you over again. tucker: do you think republicans on capitol hill understand that? not entirely. i think you see this in some of the oversight hearings over the last several years. there have been some, you know, good back and forth in devin nunes and trey gowdy. you don t see the type of relentless focus at times that i think the democrats, frankly, have when it comes to their ultimate goal. we are playing parlor games. and they, you know, they are playing deadly serious to win it all. so people have to understand this is beyond legal niceties. it s beyond regular politics. they despise donald trump. anyone who has supported him they are going to brand as a white supremacist, racist. the deplorables that s going to seem quaint calling people deplorables by the time this gets finished. kavanaugh is just carnage in all of that. tucker: what kind of person would you have to be to threaten a single mom. laura: yeah, who has had tough times by the way.

what that would mean for him and for her, it doesn t look as good as it seems. i think karen tumulty outlines those things. the idea that stacey abrams would be the human shield for vice president biden is unfair to her. here is someone who were it not for voter suppression in georgia, would be the governor of georgia. she could run for the democratic primary for president in her own right. while it might be good for democrats to play these parlor games about who would the vp nominee would be and whether or not it s the right thing for vice president biden to name someone right out the gate, i think we have to then, once we finish the parlor games, look at the individuals involved. and i think karen is right, it would not be fair to stacey abrams. she should be able to run on her own two feet. jonathan capehart, david drucker, thanks to both of you. coming up, a look at robert
quite a while. very cheerful. jake, this obviously the president said he ll veto this. the reality is it s largely irrelevant and not decided in congress and putting republicans in the senate in a tough spot. it does. you could tell my mcconnell to read the tea leaves one of my favorite parlor games. that is to me mcconnell saying on this one we have to unfortunately let the chips fall where they may and people vote how they need to vote and i won t strong arm anybody. that s how i read that. i think senate republicans, the sense i got and the body language, maybe you got a different one, it was the white house can t really do anything on this issue to say, on this one follow us because they followed the senate republicans followed the white house on nearly every other issue and this is a precedent setting issue where congress feels like i think a lot of republicans feel like, okay, we need to put
