Political reporter, good to have you here on the set. first of all, we were talking about in offset a little bit. this is a bood look for any campaign to have an incident like this, to have something like this, this is particularly bad for michael bloomberg. how might this affect his campaign? >> thats interesting and the point i was going to make, for any candidate, this is not a story you want to deal with, in this primary in particular, this is a democratic primary base who wants to see crimi...

I still dont see a path for him to win the nomination. and i -- i think the biggest fact for me in the last two, three weeks has been the steadying of joe biden. when bloomberg came in seeking that moderate senator position, it was a sign of concern that biden was fading fast. one reason i dont focus so much on bloomberg now is that biden has steadied. he had a good last debate. the poll numbers for him are up. he seems more confident just in his personal affect. and he still looks like the pers...

Trying to accomplish. how does this affect the president and your planning? >> howie, its good to be with you. thanks for having me. look, i think its two things. number one, shes exposed what weve been saying all along, which this is a complete sham, and impeachments been weaponized on a hyperpartisan basis to be a political tactic against the president. not what the constitution and our framers had all intended for impeachment, number one. number two, after completely controlling the process i...

Enthusiasm where is the dividing site, if complete confusion. and no clear front rotor in the one who is really ignited the party in terms of enthusiasm. soil the affect has brought going to be traumatic, think right now i see is the plus for president trump. eric: last night, man look at this crowd. eventually something is attacking the house speaker and talking about impeachment and just listen to this crowd here it is. >> crazy nancy, she is crazy. no. so now she says you know, she has no cas...
