To declare war because all of those are within your constitutional authority. what you said about refugees, do you think that the president has had a change of heart? that his sympathies for the long-standing humanitarian atrocities should be necessarily extended to those refugees where the president and many members of your party have been very closed off to the possibility of having them in the united states? if you care about them there, should you care about the refugees as well? >> well, lo...

Cannot cross and as weve been hearing, he has been engaged in business dealings and conversations with foreign interests since becoming president-elect. the question is whether or not all of that stops on january 20 and donald trump indicated in one of these other tweets from maggie haberman that some of this may live on and he said nothing like this has ever happened before. so he seems to be on the dark side of the moon and its one of the aspects of the unprecedented presidency that hasnt been...
