Think about it a little bit. what is the message this is sending in an election with stakes at this level? if its 1976 and its whether gerald ford is going to get elected or not, fine. you can have these sorts of arguments. we have a man who is a menace to our democracy. we cant be out there doing these things and arguing in ways that just hurt democrats. >> arguing on the other side of, that right, because people say there are these unpopular positions they back themselves into. and i dont know...

Care act has meant so much in their lives. so it was interesting last night to see a debate in which a lot of democrats on the stage decided to attack the legacy of barack obama rather than to take it directly to donald trump, who as you said, is ripping children away from their families at the border, whose administration is arguing in court that migrant children shouldnt have tooth brushes and soap, whose immigration policies are inhumane and who is fundamentally trying to alter the fabric of ...

At whatever attacks come his way, but tonight he wont just have harris to worry about. senators cory booker and kirsten gillibrand and others making it very clear they will take on biden, jim? >> we will be watching for that tonight. in last nights debate the power struggle on full display. the fight an open one between progressive and more moderate democrats. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren defending their big policy ideas, namely medicare for all arguing that pushing for radical change won...

>> the word genteel is not one that really applies to washington anymore, even though it may have in many ways used to. thank you, guys very much. on the other side of the aisle, 2020 democrats are locked in an ideological war over the future of the party. while the democratic contenders are unite in their goal to unseat president trump, their ideas of how to best retake white house are dramatically different. will it be as the "washington post" suggests, evolution or revolution? last night, bew...

Aggressive, but it wasnt personal. i thought that was a good display. secondly, its perfectly fine for people to argue about where theyre going. the bigger idea, especially on health care, is republicans right now are trying to take everybodys health care away from them. the democrats are arguing, you know, what the best way is to make sure everybody in america has it. i like that side of the debate. the details are going to get worked out over time. the voters are going to decide how far left, ...

Stirring up more racial resentiment is better for him than less racial resentment. biden has called him dpikable, bernie sanders a grace, elizabeth warren disgusting, kamala harris said it was shameful and on and on and on. and theres new polling out showing that a majority of the country says this president is a racist. but as "time" magazine notes, many democrats argue that arguing with trump is on his turf. its a big moment for democrats. how are they handling it? joining me is heidi przybyla...

Nadlers new push to investigate the president arguing that the new york lawmaker is trying to keep his job. >> lets not lose sight of the fact that nadler is facing a primary from his left in new york. he is falling over himself to become more and more progressive in order to try and keep his job and not lose to the next aoc. >> all right. joining us here on the set, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. he has the laptop with him. we need some serious primary source. >> hes got google. >> hes got...

Said it is an investigation but not a formal inquiry. >> youre investigating possible impeachment, but you havent formally opened an impeachment inquiry. are you trying to have it both ways here? >> no, were not trying to have it both ways. were saying exactly what were doing. were investigating the corruptions of the administration, the abuses of power, what mueller showed, the possible violations of the emoluments clause, one of the things that might cause us to recommend articles of impeachme...

A better place today as far as election interference than we were in 2016. >> i think we are. trumps in the white house. we have a national security team looking at this. the russian meddling occurred during the obama administration, not during trumps presidency. i think with the administration we have now, they are focused on this and looking at things that could be coming from foreign agents and foreign governments into the american election process. jillian: your overall impression of robert ...

Security. and now at least it seems like compared to the spring where there is really a lot of talk about intentions of building a wall and designs for a wall, they may actually build something on the southern border. >> mm-hmm, this just might be just in time for the president, so i want to switch gears now because the number of congressional democrats calling for impeachment is growing. its now at 101 and house judiciary chairman jerry nadler escalated the fight yesterday saying hes going to c...
