or john mccain, whether that will erode any support or enthusiasm for the president among the military who so strongly number quarters backed his election. and referring to the warship as a boat, so dismissive as barbara was laying out there, very dismissive to the people. i don t care if some boat is named after him. clearly the president does care about john mccain. he won t stop talking about him even though he s passed on, and people don t think that this is a wise thing for the president to do, but it goes to show the president s staff cannot restrain him and he goes out of his way to do things like this and it s turning into embarrassing stories like this because they don t want to spark a conflict. he said i had nothing to do with it. i guess the person was well-intended. i had nothing to do with it, stop. as opposed to take another gratuitous shot to senator mccain. among those reacting is the former vice president, potential trump opponent, joe biden. john mccain was a w
the president added roy moore will be devastated.consequences- roy moore not backing down saying, quote, the president doesn t control who votes for the united states senate in alabama. they know i ll win, moore said. that s why they are upset. i m not sure that the statement that the president doesn t control who votes is actually accurate because, of course, the president is deeply popular in alabama, but also roy moore does have really good name id in this state. lost by a mar jib of a smaller number of write-in votes in doug jones so it s not unthinkable that he could run and win and be the republican nominee so that s certainly the option here. whether or not he goes forward, i don t think it will deter him from running based on his statements there because the president and donald trump j had come out against him. even though the president said he had nothing against ray moore and the reason he s saying this he doesn t believe he can win.
process that a growing number of democrats want to pursue after special counsel robert mueller s public statement. let s get to cnn congress a.m. correspondent phil mattingly on capitol hill covering this angle. robert mueller made it clear, phil, he doesn t want to talk about this anymore, but that doesn t mean the conversation is over? yeah. that s exactly right. one of the big questions is will democrats at this point subpoena robert mueller given the fact that he said it was his hope he would not have to testify, that the report would speak for itself. jerry nadler said if he had to subpoena robert mueller he would subpoena robert mueller but jerry nadler after robert mueller s comments yesterday did not weigh in on that specifically. we do know that democrats want him to come still. the speaker nnandi pelosi said it yesterday and adam schiff, stenny heuer, the majority leader said it yesterday and the reason it was put into context by pelosi herself saying it
seats and come from red states and that s what the trump campaign is keeping an eye on as well because they know nancy pelosi is not going to go any further than that unless people like that start changing their mind because she has hem to look out for because they are the ones to lose the most from this, people like alexandria ocasio-cortez don t have a lot to lose for calling for the president to be impeached, so that s something they are keeping an eye on. but you can see the president is growing increasingly sensitive to these calls, not depending where the democrats are from. the impeachment line is starting to get to him a lot more than we ve seen in recent weeks. again, that s an issue where you see the whiplash of the conflict, and a lot of people are thinking we ll drive out the trump base and whether your name is donald trump or richard nixon or bill clinton, you don t want the word impeachment. the majority of democrats supporting it, yes, are from blue states but a numb
bit. as soon as he spoke, stenny heuer, the number two putting out statements we need to hear from him. we need to ask him questions. to margaret s point, i agree totally. i mean, here s trump claiming he s won. he s vindicated by this guy but also how terrible this guy is, mr. mueller, so that s kind of puzzling why they go in that direction, and then the last tell to me from the president s performance there today was at the end he says and i m going to have a statement on the border. right. that s old reliable there. when things are really going bad, i need to real my folks. let s do something about the border. so then you look at what the president said, again, probably asked this question too many times, why? just, you know why, why is he focusing on this and why won t he let it the go? but as you mentioned the waking up sideways this morning one of the president s tweets, they interesting, because follow along closely. russia, russia, russia, that s all you heard at the beg
