danny o connor at 43%. troy balderson had a much wider lead. yep. and then we had ten points last month, from what i believe. and then we have this rally last night. what was interesting to me in this rally is that the president does not sort of go on his russian tirade as he s been doing for the last week or so. he doesn t he attacks the media, but not to the extent he s been doing in the last week. talk about why you think the president did that last night? was there something behind it? i think he knows it s serious. i think he knows that he had better keep the house and i m sure he thinks other races are serious, as well. yeah, but i think that he is focused in it really hard on this. if you look at some of the states, especially ohio, this is a pivotal state. this is something that he needs to keep in check. lo look at another race. we ve got ted cruz. this is a solid republican that is now leaning republican. this is very interesting. everything is a little topsy-tu
short while ago donald tusk responding saying america in and the eu are best friends. whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news. lo look, you were a member of the house foreign affairs committee, do you agree with the u.s. president or eu president on this? well, i think the westphalian system of sovereignty is based upon sovereign independence of each nation state and the ability for those states to define and pursue their national interests so we are always going to be aligned in some ways and unaligned in some ways with other states. understandably. but to the specifics of my question. with whom do you agree more? the president saying the eu is our foe and the president of the eu saying that is fake news, america and the e ru great friends. i think we are great friends with the eu and hopefully the president will take the opportunity to reinforce that with vladimir putin as well as our commitment to nato. the president s words are
voters message. i think they were saying two things to me or maybe three. maybe 300. i think they were saying lo look we just don t like what we see when we watch washington. we don t think government can solve all the problems. we don t want the democrats telling us from washington that they know what is right about everything. the president had no choice but to take responsibility. this fall he went to five states where democrats won. in 13 states where mr. clinton campai campaigned, his candidate lost. the rest of the country, democrats did not want him to show up. no incumbent republicans loss. if first midterm after a new president take office is a dramatic loss for the president s party. it is normal for the president s party to lose ground and sometimes to lose a lot. the only real exception of that
keen on doing, while he discusses what a real crisis we have at the border. the last point i d make no one is talking about which is this puts incredible pressure on congressional republicans to come up with something while they still have the majority, to pass some kind of immigration law that clearly they have no intention of doing. ron, if you look at the history of this going back two administrations, it s always set against a backdrop of either a failed comprehensive immigration bill or some demonstration of force to be able to get something. right. lo look, he s in the position of rejecting a daca deal for the border wall because he also wanted reductions in legal immigration where he s unlikely to have any legislative progress on this key campaign promise. he s moving juunilaterally to sd a signal in the same direction. the idea that there is a crisis, though, just simply does not hold up. yes, there is an uptick in march. but if you look at the bigger
president? for sure. it was a huge part of it. it is practical to a degree. it s not just practical, but the pro-life issue is huge. because, look, hillary clinton during the 2016 presidential election and during that debate that you re referring to, supported partial birth abortion, straight up. donald trump, not only said, i m not for partial birth abortion, but this is basically inhumane and started to explain the procedure in detail. lo look, aaron, no republican candidate has ever done that, especially on a debate stage. i m talking about a republican candidate for president. that was a seminal moment. talk about to evangelical leaders, that was a pig debig dr him to be bold on that issue. there is a story in the book, and kellyanne conway, telling me the story, is that it was president trump and mike pence, kellyanne conway all there in the west wick and kellyanne conway was going to go speak to the march for life rally, that big pro-life rally that happens every january. this
