straight? i don t know, people don t always remember, but look, virtually every major news outlet, i again, repeat, has investigated and looked into those charges. it was answered, there was nothing there. look, the issue here is donald trump admitted to a crime. you don t have to look any further. either have to find a quid pro quo. it s against a lot to ask a foreign country to intervene and help in a national election. ed: it s not clear he committed a crime. the president has denied there was a crime. i think it is crystal clear he violated the law that said you don t ask a federal foreign government to intervene. ed: conventional wisdom can be wrong. conventional wisdom said donald trump donald trump wouldn t win in 2016, for example. but conventional wisdom that biden will get knocked out and elizabeth warren is going to be the nominee because of all of this. what say you? first, on the previous point,
i buy everything. so i m really focused on where darrell issa, who was really prices are going up. fighting to his last tooth in i haven t seen it. california for his very last election and then retired dagen: those estimates we hear from jpmorgan chase, a because he couldn t win, that is very possibly were a lot of thousand dollars more. melissa: they believe it. others are looking. they think it s coming. so you can call it retirement, dagen: but it s not. but he knew he probably wouldn t you re right. harris: i want to get another question that was asked. win orange county again. whether or not men or women believe a recession is likely. harris: president trump women were for my honoring victims of the 9/11 attacks this morning. likely far more likely to believe it would happen. we look at how americans are there is a spread there. they are at 62%. feeling, 18 years later. men at 57%. plus, democrats quickly decrying you mentioned the media. white house chaos amid news of
to that point, to that corridor you re talking about, is it about energizing the base or appealing to voters you didn t win, mainly white men who didn t go to trump, who went to hillary clinton? it depends on who you ask. i think conventional wisdom says you have to pull over the good voters while you certainly have to do a lot of that, people like elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and cory booker, getting democrats to vote. there s probably a hidden democratic vote that didn t come because you assumed donald trump wouldn t win or that excited about hillary clinton. i think there s a photo opportunity to pull in a lot of voters who either stayed home again or either felt like donald trump wasn t going to win so it wasn t worth their time. michael, republicans are nervous on focusing on protecting the senate. should they be doing that, or do you get a sense that democrats are not competing enough for the senate? the senate map certainly favors republicans. i think we ve got
into 2020, it might seem a little more unhinged, perhaps, as the party starts to grow in that erraticness with him. because in 2016 which we all point back to as the dumpster fire year where everything was insane, even his supporters didn t think he would win. nobody thought he would win. so that got upset and then he did. it s not going to get calmer now in 2020 when everybody knows that he can win. and certainly his, you know, supporters who were already pretty die-hard even though he thought he probably wouldn t win. how insane is it going to get now that they know this? and consider also we ve got two supreme court nominees that he got. the idea of getting two more, that s the promised land. they re going to go nuts to get that to happen regardless of the economy. there you go. ben, jeffrey, ana, thank you for the conversation. god forbid this chosen one lead us into that promised land.
not to listen to the experts. electorates told him not to run and he wouldn t win. so now he s here in the white house and the same nerds or weenies, whatever he called them, weenies, seriously, he called them weenies i won t take that personally as a former staffer. that s okay. and so i think what he s going to do to go forward all the way up until november of next year is you can either believe me or your lying eyes and say the economy is great no matter what happens, no matter how bad it gets. phil rucker, you re propertying on the president s angst about the economy today is so interesting. i heard anecdotally the president s calculation on 2020 is he s in decent shape if, and only if, the economy holds up. is there any indication that and i m not sure how he turns any harder, and you and your clo colleagues have a great piece about paper straws.
