here s how he views this. i think he s done a good job, but matt bevin has picked some fights. so this has nothing to do with trump. again they swept the rest of the ticket. they did great in mississippi, et cetera, et cetera. the two i don t think have that much to do with each other. his point is you can t look at this race and make it all about the president. which is what we saw the president saying you know two nights before. does he have any point at all when you look across the state of kentucky, when you look at mississippi a deep red state. but it at least was close enough there for a lot of national reporters to head there to see what might happen? no, he is not making any valid points. donald trump, jr. rarely makes valid points. any time your argument as a republican look how well we did in mississippi, you are not winning that argument. even attorney general hood in mississippi got to within five points of the race there. you can t look at mississippi for some simila
key witnesses. the president s allies attacked a decorated leiutenant. leiutenantal zandtered vindman, also a white house official questioning his allegiance, vindman was awarded a purple heart to this country. the president launched attacks against a top diplomat to ukraine bill taylor calling him a never trumper in a tweet, to evidence taylor is a never trumper. then the message took another turn this weekend when the senior counsellor kellyanne conway said she didn t know if this was aid held up. even if there was, it doesn t matter, the argument doesn t rise to the level of an impeachable offense. it is okay for the president of the united states to ask a it s not impeachable. is it a high crime or a misdemeanor? the president, himself, repeating that argument later that night. which brings us up to yesterday
hear a lot more of that. gordon sondland, the president s appointee to that position works donated a million dollars to his was acting free. our jim acosta describes the results of the kentucky election where republicans lost something to a surprise a bad omen for impeachment. i mean, we ve talked a lot about how republicans are not going to move in any numbers to go public with criticism or to even consider voting against the president in an impeachment trial, or trial in the senate, until public sentiment moves significantly. we re not there yet. let s be honest. but are you hearing the same they look to those and said, hey, wait a second, we got to pay attention? sabrina, to you. reporter: well, i think that when you are looking at public opinion, there is growing support for at least the impeachment inquiry against the president. and that s something that republicans, particularly those two are in competitive districts
heard pre-trump, which seems like such a long time ago, was that the party was reaching out more to people of color, blacks and others. what happened to that? i mean, it seems as though the party is just in many ways abandoned that altogether, explain to me how you feel about that and whether you think that s a mistake? it s a hostage mistake. you know when i was governor, i actually had the firsting aen american chief of staff in south cloip history. i had more african-american cabinet members than any other republican or governor in south carolina history. ki go down a long different things i tried to do affirmatively, including different voices in the process. so i think it s a big mistake. i think one of the things that happens is that people go every four years and they say, why don t we go after black folks, chinese folks, hispanic folks, down the list.
let s take a listen to why gabbard says she does not support an itmpeachment inquiry continuing to pursue impeachment is something that will only further tear our country apart. make no bones about it. we need to defeat donald trump but i think it s important for our country s sake and our future that the voters in this country are the ones who do that and i believe we will. she s now in the minority. is this the main concern of those who don t want to pursue impeachment or more of a concern for the 2020 election? i think there s a lot of concern from democrats that i ve personally talked to who don t want to go there on impeachment. they re afraid that not only could something like impeachment completely up-end their legislative, they feel they have a lot of legislative promises to make good on. of course, there are political cal implications and this is
