person steadfastly standing with the most popular figure in democratic politics still today, barack obama. nine out of ten democrats still support president obama, think he did a great job as president. the dynamics of the last race were actually perfect for joe biden because he said, you know what, obamacare was a big deal. we need to mend it, not end it. and yet joe biden got attacked for being barack obama s vice president not only on health care but on immigration, and on a variety of other issues. yeah. that was an understandable misstep for people who haven t run for president before, but as they prepare for the next debate, they ve got to nuance their argument more. mika, we re talking about a return to normalcy, what is not normal, and this is something i can say as a conservative and a
him some of these questions again. of course, it s important to underscore this one final point. based our reporting, these conversations are going on between the president s legal team and federal investigators. it s not clear that the president is engaged in this conversation at this point in any way. now, what we also saw over the weekend is how stung the president is by the fire and fury book referring to himself as a very stable genius. carol lee, you ve followed this president for a long time. this gets to the core part of that narrative where there s been a lot of the picking at errors unintentional errors or problems on copy editing in the book. but the core mayortive of a president who at times seems disengaged and. right. and having trouble with even keeping up with his brief, that really is a stinging, issue
wasn t it probably back channelling from the president to the breitbart board, you ve got the mercer that he could even lose the breitbart job. that was a huge miscalculation to the degree that he was willing to criticize the president and his family, that the mercers, supporters of donald trump and financial supporters of donald trump, would be approached by trump and say, look, if bannon doesn t knock this off, they cut him off. with all this disarray on the republican side, what openings are there for democrats? there s a lot of people who are looking at candidacy in 2020 and looking at 2018 with opportunities on the house side. but we haven t seen anyone rise to the surface. i think when you look at what s happened just in the november election cycle in this past in this last year, there s quite a bit of momentum on the democratic side. there s an energized base turning out. turning out in places people wouldn t have expected people to turn out. we wanted a senate race
disaster, other event that is temporary. and they say that these earthquakes that led them to come here have now they ve rebuilt from that. the earthquake is no longer the condition. however, a lot of immigration advocates would say still poverty and violence from gangs persists in el salvador. it is inhumane to send hem back at this point. julia, thank you so much. i know you re going to be following up. the russian lawyer who met with donald trump jr. and paul manafort in june 2016 tells nbc news when she was waiting for the elevator, she briefly exchanged pleasantries with a woman. who was that woman? natalia vessel knitskaya says she was not introduced to the woman but she thinks it was ivanka trump. da lanian joins m. can she be sure it was ivanka? we ve talked to another
away from this period of tribal yich, that would be where her strength would lie. what her platform would be outside of being anti-trump remains to be seen. you ve hit directly what she brings to the table that it s hard to expect any senator or gerve in the democratic camp to brick to the table of listener in touch with americans of all walks of life. meryl streep, claire atkinson, was talking to the washington post last night about a potential oprah run, and she said she launched a rocket tonight. i want her to run for president. i don t think she had any intention of declaring but now she doesn t have a choice. claire? i think she s got some time before she decides to officially throw her hat in the ring. she s right now a 60 minutes correspondent for cbs news. that would immediately put that job in jeopardy if it becomes real. so i think she s got a lot of this innings to think about, but it feels like she wants us to talk about this and she is
