saturday. smerconish is up next. voting with conviction. i m michael smerconish. can anything shake donald trump s hold on the republican nomination? the polls are nothing if not consistent. here s what they show. joe biden and donald trump are the likely favorites to win their party s presidential nomination. as of today, that matchup is close viewed nationally or by battleground states, it s probably trump who is in the lead. polls show americans overwhelmingly think the country is headed in the wrong direction. trump benefits from the perception that he s best for the economy and kept the united states out of war. biden perceived by many as being too old for the job, of course, as bad as the polling has been for biden, tuesday s off year elections for big for the democrats. big in ohio, kentucky, virginia. from the day after coverage in the washington post, there was this. for democrats, tuesday s results were an ant dote. polls don t vote. it quickly became a post tue
Unpresident ial behavior that trump exhibits most in his rally and tweets that we excessively cov cover. Bring on the coverage. The reaction like places of fox news, is this what everyone says leading up to the 2016 election. What a great idea, remember what happened the last time the media covered every tweet and rally and every word of donald trump and every wink and nudge became apart of the medias snarknato, they elected donald trump, the bozos. Is it a No Win Situation or if you are the president , no lose. I want to know what you think. Smerconish. Com, answer this question at this hour. Does covering every one of president trumps speeches,
rallies and tweets and utter rans hurt or help the gop and trumps reelection. Thank you for being late. Tom, great to have you back. I would be remised if i did not say it in the out set. Here you are of another summer of extreme weather. Well, we can talk about that in a second, lets talk about this whole question of coverage of trump. I dont
here? i don t know if he was represented by council. i don t know if he voluntarily appeared, and i don t know if he voluntarily consented to that swab of his mouth. so unless they got a court order or other grounds for doing that dna swab of his mouth, this evidence may be procolluded. i m sure they did the proper way, don t forget this case, this investigation has been going on since the 90s, the charges here are first degree murder, one attempted sexual assault, and the fact that somebody did not give up on this case, it was a cold case that sat for years and months and they continued to look at it and the dna and everybody is rushing to see their ancestry these days, be careful because look what happened here. look what it could lead to, potentially.
october or will he be procolluded by doing so by virtue of this protocol. the protocol is not something that would procollude him. there are situations where he can subpoena someone. subpoenaing the president close to the election is an action that he ll be reluctant to take and only if he s forced to do so. now k look i don t think there is any questions that rudy giuliani is stone walling and trying to play this out to avoid and interview the president. there is no way he wants the president to be interviewed and so you hear things like perjury trap and such like that. that s not what mueller is going to engage him. and on top of that mueller if any prosecutors were to bring a case that was based on a perjury trap would be thrown out of a federal court by a judge in a heartbeat. that s not what special
didn t want to waive venue. they want it to happen there. why would that be? one of the things is that there are some states where it s a federal government prosecutes first the state is procolluded from filing state charges. if virginia is one of those cases and angling for a pardon. they are inoculating themselves from being prosecuted by the state. there s reaction i should point out from the manafort camp. and more on the conversation when we continue. rer. the whisperer? why do they call him the whisperer? he talks to planes. he talks to planes. watch this. hey watson, what s avionics telling you? maintenance records and performance data suggest replacing capacitor c4. not bad. what s with the coffee maker? sorry. we are not on speaking terms.
