I think what shes trying to say is the evidence needs to go to a certain place before shes willing to take action. it may be different for different members, but i think the sentiment of the majority of the american people is probably going to be lets uncover the evidence and then lets decide. >> also when she spoke to nbc, she compared this to people wanting the impeachment of george w. bush. there was no serious impeachment talk among democrats in the house of representatives about impeaching ...

George w. bush. there was no serious impeachment talk among democrats in the house of representatives about impeaching president george w. bush. why would she make a comparison to something that didnt really happen in the house of representatives to something now happening? >> i agree with you there was never talk about impeachment other than the far left activist base, and i think trumps alleged crimes and abuse of power are far more serious than anything george w. bush did. she said if theres ...

Off on this. >> she has apologized. >> she at times have said things that have gotten close to an apology, but in the same breath defended the overall point that shes making. >> she makes the point. she said especially as a muslim member, if she criticizes israel shell be called a critic. that should not happen, and i dont believe it would happen if she talked about semitism and benjamin netanyahu, but she talks about things that are clearly anti-semitic statements. theyre out there in a primary...

Candidate but remember the iowa caucus is dominated by democratic activists. the democratic activist base which plays a disproportionate role has been moving in a very progressive direction and i think its challenging for joe biden. he has to frankly send a lot of time apologizing for previous positions he took and that is never good. >> yesterday, president trump tweeted out a video, a clip of his state of the union address, including his line with america never be a socialist nation and pointi...

And 2018. i think the run base is a pro-life, blpro gun. and when liberals went after kavanaugh, they decided to circle the wagons around him. and i think people were just overly enthusiastic that this was the death blow. >> how important do you think it is for democrats not take the bait? >> there will be activist base that will talk about that. i swrnhavent seen any serious candidate talking about that. people will push it online. but the whole issue of calling people a mob, democrats tried

Schumer or a variety of other people on the left. they are hopeless. they have no interest in the truths, involved in the struggle over power and they have to pay off their activist base. there is no possibility that they are going to vote for judge kavanaugh. but what im fascinated with his, lets say you are the senator from west virginia or missouri or indiana or north dakota, armentano, now, you are from an area where there are lots of common sense everyday folks who like donald trump, who be...
