what s sbres ng the speech he gave today, let s add the eulogy for senator mccain last week. is to appeal to a broader, higher, american value. frankly, you saw that many president bush s speech last week as well and notably, president obama extended his hand to republicans as well. so look, these things we re talking about are democratic, not republican. they re american values and it s smart he s there in orange county in california. the path to taking back the house goes right through california. then he s going to head to ohio, a state he won twice to campaign for rich cordray another fantastic candidate running for governor. as democrats, we are excited to have president obama back outen the trail. i think you ll see this contrast over the next couple of weeks between an optimistic america and the more cynical, dark america of donald trump.
the various demands and extended demands we have around the country. what are you going to do from the democratic candidate in this district when it s harder for to you concentrate on an individual district like this? that s why these coordinated campaigns are so important. and that s why what i said a few minutes is go is so critically important bep don t know what s going to happen in this race. it s a jump ball. but here s what we do know. democrats were united in their purpose. they were united coming together. it was the indivisible chapter, swing left, the d triple c, the dnc, the ohio democratic party, the labor movement. everybody was coming together. and we see that in ohio with rich cordray running for governor. great candidates for attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer. and sherrod brown, who is a brand in himself, such a leader, such a titan. so when we invest in coordinated campaigns, and that s the essence of the dnc. our investments in infrastructure are desi
i think we ll be talking about a senate race that the republicans are potentially letting slip away. joe manchin is going to be i believe he can win no matter what because i believe he has a special standing in the race. i don t know. my honest crystal ball, i don t think there is going to be a lot of news. ohio, i think rich cordray is likely to win there so the establishment winds over bernie sanders? i wouldn t call rich cordray establishment. you don t want to, that s for sure. i would say dennis runskli k runs a weak race. you ve got three candidates, two members of congress and a businessman named mike brown.
senator warren tweeted as he pointed out of one of the architects of the dodd frank act. by ignoring dodd frank and naming his own drenirector, the president is causing chaos. i agree with rich cordray, this needs to be decided in the courts. the white house is standing by the idea that this is ultimately the president s decision. this has caused a lot of confusion and it may whine up in court. boris, i want to ask you. it is opening a door to a potential show down between the white house and the country s top consumer watchdog agency. on friday, the director of the consumer financial bureau richard cordray resigned.
interview. what did you learn from the public grilling that he faced before the house judiciary committee? so the thing i would say about attorney general sessions, two things. first of all, he is suffering with some of the most profoundly selective amnesia of any human being i ve ever met in my life. he seems just never to quite remember the things that might incriminate him. the other thing that i would say about him is that he s clearly on the watch the firing watch list. in washington, d.c., there s kind of like this inside game of who s going to get fired first, rex tillerson or jeff sessions. but i find it all frankly kind of ironic. on another newsworthy note of this week, alex, rich cordray announced his retirement from the consumer finance protection bureau. originally president obama wanted to appoint elizabeth warren to that but republicans wouldn t allow that so she went
