From washington tonight it. Is a busy news evening so let s jump right in. My angle in moments. First, trump is back out on the campaign trail after the second assassination attempt on him in of course just two months. He should be stepping out on the stage at any moment in flint, michigan. You see sarah huckabee sanders standing there. Fox s aishah hasnie standing by. Aishah? hey there, laura, good evening to you. We got a packed crowd here in flint, michigan as you see the governor from arkansas behind me. She just said something. [crowd boos] she said a few weeks ago in milwaukee. She said god is not done with president trump. She said that a few days after that first attempt on him. That first assassination attempt. I m told by the campaign this was told a few moments ago that the former president will address what happened on sunday. He will start off this town hall with that he will detail the events of what happened on that golf course and then he will pitt to the economy and th
yes, there are a few outliers there, but you know one of the things trump talked about all the time when he was president and even now was second amendment rights. brett cakavanaugh, neil gore su, have been outspoken about the breath of second amendment rights. yes, those are distinguished laws, and they carry some weight. but, frankly, i don t think they are particularly persuasive to where the court is now, where the supreme court majority is now. i don t want to predict the outcome of this case, but i also don t want to overstate how important some legal never trumpers are. i don t think they re that important. it has enormous effects potentially going forward, probably will make it difficult to pass any sort of gun control legislation. all right. another case, our colleague noel points out on her piece on
lead. the white house is assailing the career diplomats who served in republican and democratic administrations calling them radical unelected bureaucratic coordinating a smear attack with far left lawmakers. that is what they are calling william taylor, a west point grad who served in vietnam and worked in the state department for many administrations including as president george w. bush ambassador to ukraine. president trump today also accused taylor of being a never trumper before saying never trumpers are, quote, human scum. and there is a reason. his testimony was devastating for the president. in his 15-page opening statement to congressional investigators, bill taylor, the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine laid out perhaps the strongest evidence yet of an apparent quid pro quo. president trump with holding
showing how self-serving the never trumpers are. these folks are willing their own country to say, i told you so. so they lose a supreme court, all the federal courts and the economy gradually in upperhand, they lose it all so they can have their little moment. and of course, they want to take us back to what, open borders et cetera, et cetera. anti-trump grifters are completely out of touch with reality. the arc kind of like the party of the tooth fairy except there is no money under your pillow in the morning, just disappointment because none of the trump victory is coming. and that s the angle part two. here to respond, herman kane,
democrats see as their core principles. tom? the problem is the democrats don t need to win me. they ve got me. i think they have got most of the never trumpers. this notion that the never trumpers are, you know, an inch away from defecting back to trump i think is really a straw man. the i think what a lot of the never trumpers are trying to warn the democrats about is, look, you have got us. you don t have to we get it. we re big boys and girls we understand that the democrats will nominate a democrat, but this is over in 40 states. you re trying to win a small number of votes answer about four or five states and what you re hearing from us is please don t alienate that sliver of voters again so that you end up with 80 million popular votes and 269 electoral votes and end up re-electing donald trump. this is i think this is the alarm that a lot of us in the
