. and third, the biden team doesn t understand the united states.ge now i get the political calculation here. they ve had a terrible timen in twenty twenty one they have another terriblee year coming ue and they re likely going to the housese of both c and the senate. good so i guess with no good news h on the horizonor, why not play the war card at this point?ck heck, they can always count on members of both parties to join in on a saber rattling. the people who were saying that we shouldn t be engaged in thiss at all are going to be singing a very different tune when f they go to fill upnd their car with gas. if indeed there is anee invasion , putin will not stop he believes if that the u.s. will not respond. and so at the end of the day, this is about defending ukraine ,but it s also about sending a message i have to parties now these people live in an alternate reality. we re standing up for democracy e means protecting ukraine s borders. why while we justr
these numbers always under water but he s donald trump. he has always managed to get himself out of every jam. a political houdini. everybody has seen that. that s what harry reid is saying there. it s smart for democrats to take that heed. what harry reid is channeling there, how much does that weigh on democratic voters? in terms desire to get trump out of office, i think it matters a whole lot. i think harry reid is implicitly saying that donald trump will appeal to resentments. he will plate cultural war card that he will be a formidable candidate. at the end of the day if we re going to hear what harry reid is saying, democrats need to pay attention to the turnout game, that what s going to win this election is not worrying about donald trump. it s worrying about turning out their voters. and if they concentrate on that, then victory will not necessarily be guaranteed but definitely will be in eye s view. eddie, beth, thanks to both

destruction program that supposed saddam hussein was doing, it shows that patience is required. so the president has it right. all options are on the table. he reserves the right to use force if that is required. but what we re hearing are politicians pandering for votes in the way they are doing it is by playing the war card. it s very dangerous and irresponsible in my view. isn t it ridiculous of these individuals to be attacking the president on foreign policy? when this president has been aggressive in pursuit of osama bin laden, al awlaki, he s not someone who is weak in terms of defending this nation based upon his record. look at the facts. well, you re right. he s been extremely resolute. he s not been shy to use force when appropriate. and actually, that s probably where he s been very strong.
