you know, i don t take that as criticism or a scintilla of criticism. she s saying this will be a test of his leadership to be fair, she said that sandy was a test of obama s leadership. so that s all we ve got here. what i really wish that she would have said is about how donald trump is proposing massive cuts to fema, the tsa and the epa. stuart: okay. we got that. it sounded sarcastic to me. how about you? yeah, these kind of tweets, they re always funny until somebody gets hurt. the reality is sending out a tweet like this prior to a storm she has no idea what will happen. again, i would also argue people send out tweets that they have no reason commenting on this. is one of those where she has no play in this game from. a political standpoint, if she wanted to talk about fema, you can do that. the appropriate thing before a storm like, this our prayers are
with those in the path of stella or whatever the storm is. not basically trying to put kind of a political play out there. even if her tweet was not meant to, you know, suggest president trump is going to do a bad job, the fact that she put it out there shows she s playing politics with it. ashley, i guess you don t like this tweet from donna brazile. absolutely not. how bad to wish a terrible disaster on the american people. she s undermining the hundreds of americans that work to provide public aid and safety, to keep the roads clear. she s taking a dig at them and the families. this is not a laughing matter and not something to be taken lightly. i d like to remind you in 2016 was president obama couldn t be bothered from golfing, president trump and mike pence were in louisiana dealing with the flood that claimed 13 lives. that s the kind of presidency
an r or d next to their name. the fact is, we ought to be hoping that no one suffers in this. going back to president bush or president obama, the people that were hurt for that i don t care habit the bad p.r. for the two presidents. what we should care about is people in new jersey hurt by sandy and those in new orleans hurt by katrina. that s where the focus should be. you put the political spin on it, it takes the focus off the folks that really should be talking about. stuart: ashley, last word. it s hypocritical to say you want the best nor the country and the people and undermining the president and the people that need help and need safety as genevieve just stated. does nothing to move our country forward. stuart: good debate. thanks for being with us. thank you. stuart: here s what s coming up. is repealing or replacing obamacare better than doing nothing to it? forget what the number crunchers say what does folks living with it say? we re going to ask one of them
let s start there. first of all, good to be on with dennis and good to be on with you. bottom line is five other presidents have done similar actions the what president trump is doing. the fact that president obama couldn t wait a couple of weeks. he had to talk and speak about what this president is doing, he already ran for a third term through hillary clinton. people rejected it and we ll hear more and more and more of him rallying the outsiders, the protestors instead of telling them to get behind the president and let him do his job and give him that ability to have not only his cabinet secretaries appointed, unlike what the democrats are doing now. give him a chance to have these plans be executed. i know these people are coming not to build a house with a white picket fence but to hurt us and change our way of life. i m all in favor of it. bill: dennis kucinich. how much do you want to hear from president obama or how much do you want to see him go the way of bush 43? all
abby: great point, tucker. you re doing so great at night. happy new year. of the coming up the video will send chills down your spine of any parent. this is such a crazy story. a toddler being crushed as you can see by a fallen bookshelf. the twin brother desperately trying to save him. this story has a happy ending. you have to see it to believe it. steve: meanwhile years democrats whined president obama couldn t get anything done but now are they doing the same thing the trump administration is coming into power? we ll talk about that live in new york city.
