against nancy pelosi. melissa: i love you and president trump are in front of the cameras is that he could do a beautiful thing for her or whatever by getting people to vote. he thinks she really deserves i it. i wonder if that helps or hurts her case. it seems like he would probably hurt it because everybody who come on the left, absolutely hates the president but i wonder obviously he wants to do it because she makes a great villain. on the other hand, i think he/she can do some deals with her. some things might get done. that he feels let down by the republican house last time. the david: you have to talk about power base. she is the money, the big donors, the union support. she is still tremendously powerful. and she has the celebrities, which don t have the same poll they used to. in republican circles. but in democrat circles they still have it. with those power bases, those big three power bases plus, she has four new 9%, as we just saw. 40% said she should go, 49% say
