The gunman. President trump calls to arm nations teachers and also slams the deputy who was on duty. What he did, he trained his whole life. Theres an example. When it came time to get in there and do something, he didnt have the courage or something happened, but he certainly did a poor job. Good day. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. A lot of news today. Thanks for joining us. Breaking news, another bombshell in special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. A source familiar with the proceedings telling us that former Trump Campaign aide rick gates is expected to plead guilty today, an indication gates is cooperating with the special counsel. This comes a day after Robert Mueller filed a 32count indictment against both gates and former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort, charging both men with additional crimes,
number of counts, some limited conduct that would vastly reduce his prison exposure. We believe this plea is happening in washington, d. C. As you mentioned, there
manafort was in against a woman opponent. right. to say nothing that he s encouraging the crowd to chant lock her up on the day his deputy campaign manager is pleading guilty to a serious crime. irony aside, what is pretty transparent here is his polite ki stratepolite political strategy has not changed. his base are the only friends he has. that doesn t mean his friends are only in the republican party. it means he wants to have these fights not only over what he s done, but what his political opponents have done that he knows ends up charging up his crowd. that s why he invokes the names of people like barack obama and hillary clinton and john kerry. it s also why he cites the famous maverick john mccain and this is the thing that plays well for him politically in the moment. the problem really, though, is if you just think two steps ahead here, this does not play well politically necessarily for most congressional republicans and they are the people that are
and as he goes after senator gillibrand, goes after senator warren, we see it over and over again. he s using this gender coded language. he also does it on the racial front as well. and that s really what this was. can i let s talk about this. he did the same thing against the opponent, a woman opponent, he made fun of her looks. yes. then the woman said brilliantly, the smartest thing she said, every woman in america knew what you meant. i think this time every man and woman knows what he meant. why does he then deny it? he clearly intends to reduce her sexually. that s what he did. this man is a predator. he has demonstrated time and time again that he views women at a level that is unacceptable for anyone. but for him to be the president of the united states, just think about the young girls who are watching this. the girls who are growing up and seeing the president of the united states saying, oh, you were in the office and you ll do anything to get money from me. the s

was running more. two, there s an advantage to being the only woman in the race. we shouldn t forget that. it s helped her the first two debates. there have been moments by simply being the only woman on stage that has created opportunities for her to stand out. so, i do think you are going to see the question i have had is how tough she got tough on pawlenty in the last debate. how tough is she going to get on rick perry? he s unafraid of going after a woman opponent. ask kay bailey hutchinson. they have been bashing rick perry in 30 second spots. are we going to see rick perry and bachmann the way bachmann and pawlenty were?
