Political protest. it was quiet. there was singing. apparently some people are observing their own religious traditions and theres a sense that something bigger than politics is going on. we have to tap into our collective humanity. its not just about rejecting republican policies over the last two years or what they want to do to us over the next two years. now we have to rebuke the way theyre conducting themselves over the last seven days of this campaign. >> what do you mean by that? what doe...

Voters? >> probably. you know, stephanie, it might -- it speaks volumes. i mean, you know -- >> he doesnt care what it speaks about. u. the question is, does it work? >> it means something. citizenship in this country has always been tied to free white person since the naturalization act of 1790. when he invokes this question of immigration and you say it plays with the republican base, its all about a certain conception of whiteness. this idea of whiteness that has led to 11 people being dead i...

Serious. id like to punch him in the face. get him out. try not to hurt him. if you do, ill defend you in court. dont worry about it. i would have been out there fight, folks. i dont know if i would have done well, but i would have been boom, boom, boom, beat the -- >> look, is he all show, no go? of course. but hes also president of the united states, and we used to expect that position to appeal to our better instincts, but now appealing to base instincts seems to work better. trump is wildly ...

Id like to punch him in the face, ill tell you. get him out. try not to hurt him. if you do, ill defend you in court. dont worry about it. i would have been out there fighting, folks. i dont know if i would have done well, but i would have been boom, boom, boom. beat the -- >> look, is he all show, no go? of course. but hes also president of the united states, and we used to expect that position to appeal to our better instincts, but now appealing to base instincts seems to work better. trump is...

All factually so many negotiations he didnt say i think republicans will be good enough to pass single payer. he looked at politics realist realistically and took what he could get. i think thinking that president trump is appealing to our id instead of superego. two years since he won the presidency, but dont think its a flaw because barack obama won majority of the vote and barack obama won two electoral college victories and donald trump with his appeal to base instincts hasnt actually achiev...

Insist is that if we dont take advantage of this moment, trump has let the genie out of the bottle. we cant be afraid to describe the way in which race continues to drive nativisnativism, conti drive our politics, those fears continue to be exploded by our politics and we have an opportunity, joe, as part of the funeral weve been talking about to uproot it. finally. so that week have a debate between genuine conservatives and genuine liberals and progressives without the undertoe of this uglines...

Literally, day one of the campaign, until today, the president has used the most divisive course rhetoric and appealed to some of the most base instincts in parts of american culture. and as a result of doing that, perhaps people think that that is a speed bump on the way to getting a big corporate tax cut, but what i would argue is that he has inflamed the worst elements in american society, that he has done a disservice to his office of the presidency, and as a result, hes failed to lead ameri...

He is pointing to his base but at what cost is that. >> well his base instincts are foul and base. the fact is he could do us all a favor as a nation by galvanizing us, to bring us together. let me tell you who disrespects the flag, a man who stands up and lies daily a man who would get in bed rhetorically and symbolically with a person seen assen them yi of the state vladimir putin. let me tell who disrespects the flag, the man who kds embraces neo-nazi to the people who oppose them. a flag is ...

Many is he speaking for? >> i dont know what the message is other than hes played to the worst base instincts to a portion of the republican party that shouldnt be there. if he goes in the administration with his 32 pieces of flair, thats an embarrassment. hes been an embarrassment as a sheriff. hes disgraced anybody who wears a uniform. look what it says about donald trump in the past week about what he views law enforcement as. he celebrates arpaio and clarke as somehow heroes of law enforceme...

And breitbart. while those platforms have energized the gop base where they have often played to base instincts like birtherism, they have like wise limited the ability of the party to reach a broad audience. its a double edged sword. should trump lose the election, some think he might establish trump tv, a preview of which hes been showcasing on facebook. that might be great news for the republican party, especially if trump takes with him some of foxs more doctrineaire personalities. the netwo...
