that, but why does he think it just happened? i mean, what struck me about this stormy daniels story in its current incarnation is that it didn t seem to tell us very much about donald trump that we didn t already know or should have known. tucker: exactly. this particular charge was raised back before the election. it was denied.ec my sense about it was, as onee who followed trump, was it was probably true and his denial was probably not true. but my feeling about this is that an awful lot of peoplehe around the country thought, you know, trump was a philanderer. after all, he bragged about it publicly back in his nonpolitical days, and it was widely known and, you know, the fact that somebody might have gotten paid to keep it quiet didn t strike me as something that was beneath trump. even so, he is not even accused so far of being the one that made the payment.f so my sense about this was that it was kind of baked in the cake. people knew what kind of a rascal he was when it cam
jason, i know trump world lives in this comfortable bubble, but let me acquaint you with page 6 in the new york post. donald trump has been a skirt-chasing hound his entire life. this is not a guy who goes home at night and sits with the little woman and watches tv. this is a guy who is a long-term philanderer, adulterer, whatever phrase you want to use. he has never taken any contract or vow, much less his marital vows, seriously. this is a guy who has a notorious reputation for this. it is a reputation he cultivated as part of his so you got the sound bite in, but the fact of the matter is she lied three times and now everyone is supposed to believe her. plainly her credibility did take a hit. you addressed that point. she admitted to that, that her credibility took a hit by signing it. her motivation behind it is obviously the question, but that s the beauty of this.

the conner land victory and some of the other special elections. can t wait to turn out. and particularly suburban college educated women are going to the democrats in droves. if you just wanted one data point, something like 20 house seats are held by republicans but those districts were carried by hillary clinton in the last presidential race. those folks are highly vulnerable. the question is, it s going to be a wave election. the question is, is it a tidal wave? the president s personal behavior i think continues the narrative. he s a philanderer. people know that. you don t think it s going to move the needle? the federal reserve is in the process of raising interest rates another two or three times this year. if there s any downtick in the economy at all because of that, boy, that s going to be bad news for the republicans. you bring up the conor lamb race in pennsylvania. would you advise democrats to run these as local races? in a district like that, for sure. in a stat
hour. we ve been talking about this story for months and for whatever reason it couldn t get traction. it was overshadowed by russia and everything else going on. but because of the reports of the payment that michael cohen has admitted to making, he says it was his personal money, he was just casually paying off a porn star for some reason and this interview by 60 minutes. and they were just doing journalism and reporting this story out. what does this add up to for the president at the end of the day? i think not that much, actually. i think what s baked into his brand, obviously is we know he s a he s a philanderer. and unless there are some striking visuals. right. which i doubt, you know, donald trump does not send e-mails. i would be very surprised if we re going to see pictures of donald trump running around in a
