about bill clinton and the governor said it s helping him. i said what? he said watch. it s helping him. and you believe all these women coming forward helped trump? yes. in what way? it showed he s manly and takes what he wants and he s rich enough to have any woman, beautiful playboy play mates, porn stars and he s so rich he can pay them off. he can have any woman he wants. i think it plays well. e. jean carroll, thank you very much. anderson cooper, you re welcome. reaction to what you heard and what the president said about e. jean carroll from maggie haberman and laura coats. that s just ahead. here are even more reasons to join t-mobile. 1. do you like netflix? sure you do. that s why it s on us. 2. unlimited data. use as much as you want, when you want. 3. no surprises on your bill. taxes and fees included. still think you have a better deal?
i love that i m not his type. don t you love you re not his type? he also called mis ed miss univ fat, miss piggy he called her. miss universe, one of the most beautiful women in the solar system, he called her fat. joining us white house correspondent maggie haberman and amanda carpenter and cnn legal analyst laura coats. thanks for being with us. maggie, the reaction from the president saying he doesn t he s never met her and that obviously, this is a picture where they have met. do you her response that this plays well, that this actually somehow it doesn t affect the way people see him, do you believe that? i was struck by her saying that to you and i think there is something probably to that where there is a portion of people within his supporters who finds
the new york police department would investigate but the statute of limitations expired:it s not retroactive, is it? he s offering to reopen the investigation in the event she wanted to go forward and the issue here is even if it were available to her, she s saying that she has decided based on advice of counsel that was approaching her talking to alison today on new day that she thought you know what? i ll probably not be able to win this. it s a fool easi s er land to d. that speaks volumes where we are with maggie and amanda. the idea that one would think if they are a victim of sexual assault in this country in 2019, it would be a fool s errand to pursue. he once again sales his main democratic rival and his reasoning is interesting. we ll have that ahead.
raised about donald trump s own mental stability and the president then of course had that same phrase that he s a very stable genius. this is par for the course what we ve seen and very importantly, i think it suggests the race we ll have ahead will be a mean and frequently dirty race. and does that work, maggie? it worked last time. all the evidence seems to point to it does. negative politics always works. it always has. as we ve seen over the last four years, voters don t really hold it against candidates for going negative because they assume all politicians are bad. so there is actually less of a cost for donald trump whose negatives are high already. it s not like he s going to bring his own down that far is his gamble. he can t win reelection based on the math of his base right now. so it can only be through certain advantages of the map and tearing down the democrat and he assumes it will be joe
