Does not work now . Right. Does not work now. Never worked then either. Historically, midterms and polls have shown that people want a check on the president , not a blank check on the president. All right. Thank you all very much. And that is obviously a big Special Election matters across this country. So please stay with us with our special coverage of the Ohio Special Election. It continues now with ac 360. And good evening. Thanks for joining us. It is once again Election Night in america, or at least in five states with some key races that could take the temperature of the electorate three months before the mid terms there are primaries in kansas, michigan, missouri, and washington and in ohio a special Congressional Election in that states 12th District for a seat the republicans have held for decades, but could, could be up for grabs tonight. The president has injected himself into this race, visiting the district on saturday, appearing on stage with republican Troy Balderson.
The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. Fraught discussion. The president is so far quiet today and that changes the more he watches television and talks to some friends. President trump Summer Vacation is sounding more like a venting session. At the Trump National golf club in new jersey today, the president out of public view and raging on twitter over the russia probe. More than before, hes zeroing in on the Trump Tower Meeting between top Campaign Officials and a russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and went nowhere. I did not know about it. That sunday tweet was the most direct acknowledgment yet for the real purpose of the meeting, part of Robert Muellers inquiry. It shows how brazenly misleading the original explanation of the meeting was when donald trump

meaningful. you might be able to overtake ukraine. it s a smaller country, obviously. russia has a pretty large military. but we ve seen in the past when russia went into chechnya, when it went into afghanistan, how a partisan war against an occupier can, you know, drain russia of life and treasure. and i don t think that they re eager necessarily to fight that kind of a gorilla war against ukraine. ukrainians are studying what s happening in afghanistan and iraq against the americans and they have to be able to win a conventional war, but they wouldn t sit there and simply accept a russian full-scale invasion lying down. there are other military options that russia could take short of a full-scale invasion, like trying to carve off more of eastern ukraine, which richard engel is reporting from. trying to bargain more with something more than the threat of force for some sort of concessions in the east. but right now, the mystery is what is vladimir putin s end game here? and nobody kn
