the washington post puts the president s political conundrum this way. there is consensus among senior white house aides that the president is in a bind. if he publicly calls on him to withdraw and moore defurs or worse for trump wins the race nevertheless, the president could suffer another embarrassment in alabama. heaven forbid. yet continued silence from trump may not be tenable. if he were to say he believes the women s accusations, as mcconnell and others have done it would raise comparisons with the sexual harassment accusations that he has faced and denied. let s get to all of the day s news and the president s predictament with our reporters and guests. joining us national political reporter robert costa, also moderator of washington week and from the new york times, nick conforsori, eugene robinson from the washington post, not just any columnist, a pulitzer prize-winning. john pedoris, prolific tweeter is here. heather mcgee, the president of
past comments on september 11th, birtherism, islam or muslim. he s described as a firebrand jurist, best known for denying a judge s orders to remove a ten commandments monument. let s get to the latest from the political blow. glen thrush, megan murphy and commentary magazine editor john pedoris, a newly minted msnbc political contributor. whoever thought you d be an msnbc contributor. the times times are crazy. things are crazy. all right. let me just tell our viewers that if the president goes off script and says anything related to any of the big stories we re covering today, we will turn that around or we ll go right back to the president live in indianapolis. but let me start with you, glen thrush. we ve got reporting from another network that says the president
woke up embarrassed and pissed. that was a quote about losing last night. well, i did, too. why? but only after i found out john had signed on as a contributor. you ve got competition. but listen. the president, i m guessing this gnaws at the president on his most basic and primal and cellular level. this guy was a loser. steve bannon beat him and, three, the guy that won was sort of trump before trump. well, he was look. trump was, to use his own terms, pissed before luther strange went down, before big luther went down like mike tyson in 1990. i think trump knew this was going to happen. my reporting a couple days ago showed he was angry on the plane and accusing luther strange of being low energy and asking people why it was that he did this. bob costa of the washington
yesterday. a man was saying to a woman, there are three kinds of people in america right now. those who love trump and think he can do no wrong, those who protest him and can do no wrong and those who are afraid to protest him. but this is not a joke. so many people right now who either see him as a messiah, see him as a manic president or just a normal too much fear to process everything that has happened in the past month. john, what s the middle ground? well, the middle ground is that we are treating the hispanic community as know it is monolithic in the sense that there are a vast number of a large number of hispanics in the united states are american citizens, residents, and then there is a population of illegal immigrants who have a different status and the law clearly says, if you are here illegally, the
the travel ban. kayleigh mcenany, john pedoris and ana navarro, cnn political commentator. ana, always good to have you here. the fear that comes with the immigration guidelines, you come here illegally, you re here illegally and could be deported. what is the balance of these two things? it does cause fear. i don t think people should be fearful. sean spicer clearly said we don t want to touch daca people or dreamers. people drought in as children or teens and they have lived here and lived well. absolutely. most illegal immigrants are very good people who want a shot at the american dream.
