To have his cake and eat it too. the real challenge here, nicolle, is the president keeps stepping into this russia question while confusing our policy while not reacting to what is a very real threat from russia and perhaps even other actors to undermine democratic institutions to the use of information warfare and cyberattacks. were missing the boat on this and the president continues to confuse his policy, our policy on that threat and the threat from russia. >> ken dilanian, general hayden h...

It doesnt look necessarily like it will affect them as far as the polling. but this decision, how much can this affect the funding of the race? >> they were putting significant money into the race. as you know, dana, the and -- they are a key player in these races. they are funding a significant role in terms of advertising in the final days. bottom line, if they are pulling out of this race, if they are saying, enough already, we are going to focus on the other 2018 races, that could have a sig...
