really looking forward to the debate. while biden has gone up, others have gone up, too. so, keith, what kind of position, however, would south carolina representative clyburn and particularly other congressional black caucus members be in with these discussions within their ranks about biden s track record on civil rights-related issues and legislation versus the recent handling, you know, of past segregationist conversations and who should apologize, whether it be cory or biden? how much is this clouding the view of democrats? well, i think it s really early in the whole race right now. like it was just said a moment ago that we have just nine months to go before we even start to have a contest where we have people voting. we haven t had our first debate yet, which won t happen until next week. this is the point where candidates are going to make
said that moore has denied these allegations. when you take the president s comments, especially in combination with what kelly anne conway said the day before, i think message from the president is pretty clear. it s, i need roy moore in the united states senate. dana: so, jessica, i am assuming you probably would take issue with that, but i do want to point out representative clyburn when he was talking about john conyers, he said you can t jump to conclusions with these types of things. for all i know, all of this could be made up. what do you think? i disagree with representative clyburn there. i hope there will be a thorough ethics investigation into this and into anybody who s been credibly accused of sexual assault. in john conyers case, one of the women is his scheduler who, as we all know from having dinner on the hill, is your right hand. chances of that being made up are very minimal just as everyone from mick mulvaney to
going to happen here? i have a very hard time imagining that scenario at all. i will tell you amongst the democrats that voted for this. and many of them are my friends. i talked to them and i think that representative clyburn had it right on the money when he said that people are insulating themselves. i have to say one thing. this is my third year, the slogan was repeat and replace. i ve been waiting three years, they ve had nothing to replace the affordable care act. although we re having difficult times. i don t think that the public is looking at the republicans as providing a solution. let me play for you the suggestion that was made by new hampshire republican senator kelly ayotte. sure. the president said she fumbled a rollout. it s time for a time-out which is i ve been calling for to go back to the drawing board and talk about bipartisan solutions for health reform in the country. is there any piece of this,
by this? i think that s the huge question of obamacare. you listen to representative clyburn. he can t say anything else. this is the signature achievement of president barack obama s presidency, the biggest vote that clyburn and many others have taken in congress. neil: they must be aware that the core democratic such as unions say, go slow here. they re running into stiff opposition within their own ranks. that s the reason the president delayed the prime minister mandate by a year, because he had heard a lot from bigger employers. another point in that interview, represent clyburn says we ll have to make changes in obamacare. we had to make a bunch of changes in social security and medicare. we have to make change. hair going to have hard time making changes with republicans in the house and senate because
like code language. i don t think it s my job to tell james clyburn what he should find racially offensive. we need a mccain moment from democrats who see this divisive language and tell it to stop. one republican radio host introduced him using his middle name hussein to try to race bait. at what level does someone la to achieve to have their race and gender stop being the issue? and, alan, the congressional black caucus opposed susan rice s nomination in 1997. is that racist? i m saying i think it s not my place to tell james clyburn how he may feel offended because of a history of racism.
