Page 7 - Base Support News Today

Dont know if theres sustaining power there beyond the moment. and everyone has got a weak. i felt that biden came out of it unscathed to the degree that his strength in the black community hardens more and i think youll see that in south carolina pools, for example. and i think more broadly speaking he affirmed and acquitted himself to the degree that a lot of the base support thats sort of in the air will go, okay, maybe this is where they need to line up. it will be interesting, the september ...

Republican elected members of congress in the united states senate, thats my gauge on where trump is with his base support. and how strong that base support is. the fact that they get off on a screed -- a racial screed that they somehow want to rush to that space and support the president and protect him tells me that his numbers are a lot stronger than a poll like that may reflect. and i think its very dangerous for people to look at this race, even at this juncture. im not one to buy into elec...

Consensus it has been on this issue. >> i think thats great news and a testament to incredible work of criminal justice advocates who have been doing this work for years and years, decades and decades. and the act we finally made inroads within the republican party is a huge success and i think its good to take a moment and celebrate that. that said, the trump administration is clearly using this as a wedge for 2020 as part of their efforts to undermine joe biden. they saw how tying hillary clin...

Some of that may be effective in a nor populist sense but obviously less appealing to republicans. for these candidates right now, craig, the focus i think really is on coming up with policies that will appeal to the progressive base. remember, this is a primary election. a primary electorate theyre speaking to. while some of these ideas eventually theyll want to sell to a broadest audience, right now its about getting that base support. why youre seeing warren talk about the things shes talking...

>> absolutely, this is one of the run articles of fate between president trump and his base support in 2016. how many tied did we hear him say were going to build the wall? yeah, he said mexico would pay for it. clearly they arent. at least he can say -- first of all, he will build new wall with the money appropriated by congress and the money he will repurpose. even if hes blocked in the national emergency and he builds i think john said 77 miles of new wall, at least he can say look, i have do...

Dramatic. >> part of the answer to that is the instant rush to the impeachment conversation in the first place. when you make that the first thing you put on the table you diminish the power and effectiveness of it and authority behind it. as the members noted in the clips we heard, this is a process but inherently a political process. the result is based on the politics of the moment with a 90% base support for donald trump, a senate that has no will to move on impeachment, where does that leav...

South carolina in a democratic primary? can he defeat, you know, african-american candidates or hispanic candidates in a democratic primary. >> so hes got to expand most of his voters are white voters inside the party. so hes got to expand his base support. so he has to show. he wants to tell everybody his story. a son of a poll ikish immigrant. tarnts came here, grew up in brooklyn, didnt have money growing up, somebody who is a self-made man. so this is a story he you know and his advisers hav...

You wrote she has the best start to the 2020 campaign. >> if you look at the polling, you compare our cnn poll versus the monmouth university poll, you see she went to third place in that poll. if you look at who people are searching on google, she had the highest google trends of any of the candidates that announce in the either late december or january. and part of that might have been the cnn town hall. what we see is kamala harris generating interest in the base. she meets those qualities th...

Security. it is that the presidentments a wall. >> i think we know and the president acknowledged that if you want to call it a fence or a wall, it is not a concrete structure. i think there also needs to be acknowledgment that we have been building fences and members of this body have voted for fences and barriers and what have you in is a little ridiculous and rhetorical, lets come to a compromise and come to a deal and open the government. >> after everything that is going on, the presidents ...

Ending this ridiculous trump shutdown and making sure vital agencies like the coast guard, tsa and federal law enforcement have the funds they need to maintain our national security. and of course celebrities are just like us, watching the presidents speech as well. trump critic alyssa milano saying straight lies from the oval office are nothing new but donald trump is moving base support as failures pile up, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer spoke truth to false power as they pulled at the threads...
