that road and by the way, i have been in a wine cave. it s pretty cool. gong down that road is not useful for voters. voters don t care. do they care how you re raising your money? i think that weighs on some voters, but the purity test that people are trying to place on pete buttigieg is not only not fair but impractical. we can t beat donald trump with small donors alone. i know my twitter is going to blow up, but simply believing we can raise $27,000 at a time and beat the war chest of president trump is not reality. let me stick with the fund-raising and the threshold to get into the january debate, these thresholds, candidates sent a letter to the nc that the, quote, unintended result does not live up to the values of the democratic party. you re a member of the dnc. what s your defense for those
he s under audit, voters don t care. they re too complex, but one viewer wants to know what happening next in court on their effort to obtain the tax return. they upheld a congressional subpoena to the accounting firm that has trump s tax returns. the court of appeals made an important ruling, congress has broad, not unlimited, but broad subpoena power and importantly, the court said the house doesn t need to take a full vote in order to start an impeachment inquiry. the committee that served the committee was the one chaired by elijah cummings, passed away untimely this week, but he was a long proponent of oversight. the white house has two cards left to play here. first, they can seek what s called on bonk review. which means all 17 judges on court of appeals here in d.c. hears the case. very rare. i don t think they ll get it. number two, they ll try to get it to the supreme court. it only takes a small fraction of cases. under 5%. if they take it, of course
the data also suggests her liberal policies may work to her advantage. 56% of voters said they favor a candidate with larger-scale proposals, which might be hard to pass, compared to 40% of voters who preferred someone with less ambitious ideas. ambitious ideas that would require the amounts that we pay in taxes as individuals and corporations to more than double in this country. just for medicare for all. melissa: if you can do the math you know that if you confiscated every dollar that everybody made over $200,000 a year made, you can pay for all these plans. so definitely taxes on middle class were go up. there s no way around that came , even knew few take money for corporations. wic articles were viewed on the actual math and would have to. when bernie sanders, when they see them whether tech is go up, he says yes,y other things so
somebody was for you. two, why are we televising this? voters don t care, especially independent voters and swing voters, who both democrats and republicans need in the general election. three, it is such a distraction for the more than 200 pieces of legislation democrats have put forth into the senate that have stalled. that s what democrats should be focusing on and bring into the mind-set of the american voters. melissa: but they were the ones that said they would impeach, they sat there and promise that. they had to look like they were at least trying, right, harris? harris: they can look like they are trying but they can t change the fact that there are some of the party know who are starting to question the strategy of this. it s a lot of, as you say, wasted capital and energy away from other things. but it s also wasted capital and energy against getting somebody into the white house that is wearing blue. i m a little confused. they don t even talk about the 2020 democratic
melissa: but you get a beer with us! mr. huckabee: the problem is that burning is the stale bread on the shelf. elizabeth warren is the first bed. that s why she gets the advantage. if that s what happens, she wins, he loses. leslie: will you stop saying what i m going to say and agree with me? [laughter] mr. huckabee: it s true! leslie: it is true. in 2016, bernie sanders was the shiny new toy who have these outrageous, revolutionary ideas. it was a revolution he was leading, medicare for all. it s not only a staple of the democratic diet, if you will, but now it s also something embraced by voters across the board. that s when you get down to the differences in democrats. when you have joe biden, centrist and a moderate, who says, i m not going to take away private insurance, we will expand on obamacare, he turned to elizabeth warren i always do that and says, i will be pay for it? swing both and independents are
