This was a member of congress expressing her concerns about how the president spoke to a constituent of hers who gave his life for this country, and she was attacked for that, and john kelly lied, and trump lied, and it perpetuated their tendency to attack black women, whether its jemele hill, susan rice or ryan, and that reflects the administration.

I hate to tell everyone that. I just dont see how how big of an issue is the abortion issue . I think its a big deal and hurt him right out of the gate and hes done very little to overcome that. He hasnt looked for issues to find Common Ground with conservatives. Now, i do think one of the things ill be watching on Election Night is Shelby County in birmingham and thats where roy moore won 63 of the vote in 2012 but lost in the primary. Thats an affluent the birmingham suburbs, thats where people thats the targetrich environment for doug jones. If hes going to win, hes got to do well there. Hes got to gin up the africanamerican vote and comments that he made about slavery and harkening back to the days of slavery when we really had family values.

Well talk to senator amee klobuchar who is set to question the tech billionaire. But first tonight u. S. Officials say north korea is willing to discuss denuclearization. Russia is calling a Chemical Attack on syrian soil fake news. And china is locked in the opening rounds of what may become a fullblown trade war. And for real this time, the president is acting out a riff he used throughout his campaign, determining who is a friend and who is a foe. Is that friend or foe . Is that friend . Friend or foe . Friend or foe . Hes friend. Okay. I think hes friend. Are you friend or foe . Are they friends . Friend or foe . Friend or foe . Friend. Its a choice the president has been disinclined to make where two men in particular are concerned, russian president Vladimir Putin and chinese president xi jinping.
