Overshadowed by the presidents own affinity for pedalling fake news, right? >> thats right. i want to echo what david chalian was saying. i think the white house, the president also handled the justice gorsuch matter very well, that from start to finish was handled extremely well by this white house. they did not put forward a nominee who was scandal-ridden or anything along those lines. youre right, don, when it comes to, the president likes to tweet about this all the time and hit us calling u...

President, trust me. the neil gorsuch thing, though, it happened under the presidents watch. he did nominate him, but isnt that mitch -- mitch mcconnell made that happen. >> well, i dont know. putting a justice on the court is the responsibility of the president. obviously the senate has the advise and consent role. but, remember, he put out a list of potential people he would choose from, and this was largely to get republicans on board, who were concerned that he wouldnt be conservative enough...
