understand that she went to a buzz saw. she came out pretty frazzled. to give them something, she talked about a cover-up. people are saying, what is the crime? what happened to the mueller report? why would you do that ahead of this important infrastructure meeting? she s in a difficult position. the majority of the democratic caucus by the numbers are moderates. the blue dog coalition has expanded. the new democratic coalition, which tends to be more center left expanded in 2018. the loudest voices in the room, the ones commanding the media attention are people like rasheeda talib they say impeachment. if pillow say can appease them enough, she will be backed in a corner where she doesn t have her house in control. charles: she s had a brilliant career a brilliant politician. she s got to think legacy to agree. you think about tip o neal,
i just responded in kind. look, you think nancy is the same as she was? she s not. neil: well, enough of the bickering and let s just get to work. the parties are sniping at each other. always a problem especially under different control. the white house under one and the house let s say in this case anoth under another. democratic strategist, nathan rubin and ash wright and susan is here also. so people may harken back to ronald reagan and tip o neal. they were pals trying to deal with each other. maybe the same will happen here between the president and nancy pelosi. but there s been a lot of scorched earth. how do you unscorch that? i don t know that you can.
it s not because of what happened last week but what will continue to happen. the democrats will keep pushing for investigations, the subpoenas, the court fights over financial documents and tax records. it s going to lead for more calls for impeachment and keep nancy pelosi elevated in the criticism of the president and making the remarks about him engaging in a cover-up and covering up a crime. i don t see it going away. she s under a lot of pressure to put forth that message. that s not going to end. that s probably more than what happened last week, probably why things won t get resolved between her and the president any time soon. neil: i wonder if there should be an example like with reagan and tip o neal. started dicey but they learned to work with each other. there was a sense that ronald reagan had, i was getting a lots of his way but he would always advise his people don t shove it in the other guy s face.
were deported from the united states under any other president s administration in the history of the united states. they did this not because they were soft on illegal immigration, but because they were targeted on it. they focused on getting, if you will, the bad hombres out. you have confidence that the democratic party and elected officials will slow or stop illegal immigration? you are confident in that? i m asking that question. do you have confidence in their ability to stop or slow illegal immigration? that s all i m asking. it s going take a bipartisan effort. they re not going to be able to do it by themselves. tip o neal was part of it. they had an effective bill. they said no more illegal hiring but the people coming in are going to become citizens.
