Ohio 12 tomorrow. they can hopefully meet expectations. he says forget all that. raise expectations and expect a red wave. jesse: they need a red wall. it shouldn t be this close in ohio. this is a district they ve won, republicans for decades going back to the 30s. democrats running away from nancy pelosi. he is keeping it on kitchen table issues, education costs, health care costs. he doesn t even mention donald trump that much. the republican is a little about older. not as charismatic. he s got a little personality problem there. now the national media s coming in big time. they started going positive and touting the president s success, and now they are just smearing this democrat. they are linking him to elizabeth warren, calling her pocahontas. they are going dirty late chemist that means they re worried about it. i think the republicans are going to hang on, but if the democrat does won and it s going to give the democrats a lot of momentum. dana: no matter what
All of this pointing a donald trump is about really projections. that it s all the things the democrats have been doing with the russians, within that framework, to distract from that. typical tactic. you accused your opponent of what you been doing so that nobody turns around to look at you. that s what s happening. jesse: what you think about the latest iteration? dana: maybe it s exactly what the president said last year but it s not what jay sekulow said. this weekend he had to say i was given bad information. i passed along bad information. he won t elaborate. but that seems to be a recurring problem in this situation. tammy: he threw himself under the bus. greg: i am a broken record. i was going to write down i m a broken record. if i were home watching this to my head would explode because i would not care. especially if i were a retired executive or someone in business probably took half a dozen
I did not know about it! many of the press are claiming it s a stunning omission. some have pointed out trump s tweet isn t that different from what he said a year ago. i think from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. it s called opposition research or even research into your opponent. i ve only been in politics for two years. but i ve had many people call and say we have information on this factor or this person. frankly hillary. that s standard in politics. jesse: dana, i was reading the washington post over the weekend. there was a great column. greg: what section of the paper? jesse: a2. he said what s the difference between what donald jr. did at the trump tower meeting and what hillary clinton did.
jesse: president trump taking aim at the media with a new round of blistering attacks this weekend. what we ve done, they even say, it really has been, as you say, amazing. it s been a miracle to a lot of people. it s been a miracle. i campaigned and i purposely didn t mention the kind of numbers we are achieving. because i didn t want to be accused of exaggeration. by the fake news media. they are so dishonest. these are among the most dishonest human beings you will ever meet. jesse: the president whipping up media asked hysterics with this tweet. fake news reporting, a complete fabrication, that i am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, donald, had in trump tower. this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics. and it went nowhere.
