First of all, they still have not turned over the original letter that ford sent to dianne feinstein. They have been hiding that from the senate republicans. They are not acting in good faith on that. Ford has deleted her social media accounts right before she went public. I wonder what she didnt want people to see there. And fords attorney also said only on monday, this is three days ago, my client will do whatever is necessary to make sure that the Senate Judiciary committee has the full story and the full set of allegations to allow them to make a fully informed decision. And then literally three days later, change of the entire story, doesnt want to testify but may testify next week but only on our terms. This is not how people operate in good faith. Debra katz, the lawyer for forward, ignoring phone calls and emails from the Senate Investigative staff. As you mention, Senate Democrats arent participating in the
conversations with kavanaugh and the alleged witnesses where they are
but with a range of sizes, depend fit-flex is made for me. with a range of sizes for all body types, depend fit-flex underwear is guaranteed to be your best fit. well, today we have an early straw poll of the democratic free for all for 2020. now, this straw poll from the progressive group moveon.org was obtained exclusively by nbc news. it shows congressman beto o rourke from texas topping the list of names, narrowly in front of former vice president joe biden. the actual winner, important to stress this, was someone else, or i don t know. almost 30% of those who participated in this straw poll chose that option. among the actual names, beto
o rourke, 15.6%. joining me now, nbc news political reporter alex, who obtained this report. you got this. tell us a little bit about it. i think beto being in first place there a bit of a surprise, although there s been a lot of buzz about him lately. move on, how big is the membership? who are the folks here choosing him? so this is the first straw poll of 2020 of move on members. move on is a very large progressive advocacy group. millions of members across the country. been around for about 30 years. these are kind of the door knockers, the phone bankers, the small donors of the democratic party, or at least a lot of them. these are people who are going to be very involved and active in the democratic primary process, why we re interested to see where their temperature is right now. i was surprised to see beto o rourke at the top of this
politically speaking, don t we all think he s going to get confirmed if there are no new allegations or rumors of anything else? right? dan: this is a serious question. is the man not entitled to defend himself? greg: of course. that s what i was getting up before. you have to have some kind of due process. i find it ironic that that video was made by moveon.org. they were moving on, remember, from the schedule and impeachment of bill clinton. they were trying to excuse well-documented recent behavior. it s like a serial killer criticizing your manners. going after brett kavanaugh, it s ridiculous. joy, an old white lady, because she called those old white men. you can call her an old white lady because i m not sexist. she went after them men. we should ask women have to start thinking about this because it doesn t help. false accusations do not help
you re in the situation room . the first republican presidential contest is two weeks away and a top obama adviser says the democrats are counting on a long primary season slugfest between newt gingrich and mitt romney. every word from the candidates could make a difference. jim acosta is covering the final sprint of the caucuses. jim, we re seeing a possible shift in the romney campaign strategy. what are you seeing? what are you hearing? reporter: well, there may be a big momentum shift for mitt romney out here in iowa, wolf. he had a pretty good debate on thursday night against the gop field. he merged pretty much unscathed. he was not the subject of the attacks from the other candidates. that was really newt gingrich s role. he was beat up pretty good during that contest. and so mitt romney came into a city and he said he plans to take over the voters in the coming weeks. what concerns me is that we have in washington a class of people who spent their whole time i
