is a situation they re looking at very closely and they re looking at their options. we know earlier today he spoke with mitch mcconnell as well as house speaker paul ryan. those conversations likely included a discussion of tax reform and undoubtedly roy moore. we know mitch mcconnell by his own admission yesterday wants to see this president encourage his own attorney general jeff sessions to run as a write in candidate. that s one option but it s very tricky to see how the mechanics of that will work out. doesn t the white house tell me what you re hearing from people who are having discussions. doesn t the white house feel they have an obligation to get involved in a race where a man who is running as a republican to be a senator has been accused of inappropriately touching children? don t they feel like that s sblg the president might want to say, hey, maybe this man shouldn t be representing the republican party in the united states senate? that is a very important question
is this about sean spicer or is this about donald trump? sblg about the client who is donald trump or is this about the pr rep who is doing exactly what he is ordered to do down to wearing dark suits. you don t just go back to when the health care bill, the vote was pulled and the president made two calls to two news organizations he regularly dispara disparages. he s never going to let anyone run his pr particularly when times are tough. if there s an attempt to shift direction to come back, it s not going to be driven by anyone on the staff, it s going to be driven by the president. we ve all known sean, known sean for a long time, worked with him at the rnc. i liked sean a lot personally. i ve always liked him a lot personally, he s been a straight shooter to me. sweet guy. like the guy. talked to him election morning. i remember that. spent a lot of time and like sean always. he s always been kind, always
republican party if they again engage in bush-style deficit spending. the other thing we need to remember, for everybody on wall street around the country yearning for tax reform, this budget will not lead to tax reform. this budget is a vehicle that will die and that s extremely important. let me ask you real quickly, your morning consult poll. your numbers are higher than most for donald trump. 50% to 45%. a couple of quick questions. you re tying it to registered voters. that makes a difference trump does better among registered voters, adults. sblg a human poll or computer poll. it s a computer poll. that s another thing. trump always does better when the person doesn t have to admit on the phone i m talking i support donald trump. saw this. typically look at these online polls and say they are not as strong as in-person polls. with trump it flipped.
flag reporter: the candidates discussing their policies some using their one-on-one time with the moderator to dole out punches against hillary clinton. she lied about benghazi. she has, as well lied about her servers and the kinds of information she had on her server. these go to the core of her character. reporter: senator lindsey graham used his time on stage as the best candidate to take on hillary clinton. i have been dealing with them 20 years. i am fluent in clinton speech. when bill says i didn t have sex with that woman, he did. when she says i ll tell you about bidding the pipeline when i get to be president means she won t. when she tells us trust me you have all the e-mails you need we haven t even scratched the surface. i understand this crowd. i can beat them. if we don t beat them it doesn t matter. sblg absent is the gop
ranch in libya. sblg meeting with an interesting man. two years ago he thought gadhafi was an interesting man. perhaps the most interesting in the world. all the lovely time they spent together at his ranch. ties between the united states have taken a remarkable and positive turn in recent years. he was for gadhafi before he was against him, kind of like donald rumsfeld was for saddam hussein before he was against him. i guess it is lesson is beware of republicans offering handshakes. that s our con job of the day. republicans who voted for paul ryan s extremist budget are trying to run from that vote, but this time the democrats are hitting them hard. and steve israel and moveon.org s, and. plus donald trump picks a
