Came from, my suspicion is, there were some whispers that there were investigation into some scattered small-scale celebrations in new jersey. there was also a video, very widely circulated, showing palestinians dancing in the streets, excuse me of gaza. and my guess is, donald trump and maybe ben carson conflated those two memories. and thats fine. and when the evidence comes out and its clear that this story about thousands of muslims in new jersey cheering on live television isnt true, just c...

Dogleg, use a golfing term, away from what they are trying to do to prove hillary clinton is derelict in her duties, her sins of -- they spent the morning -- i thought a well choreographed move -- to put the circles around, tighten it down to a bulls-eye, had her in the middle, 2012, after the two attacks and ready to close in and say, yeah, were able to prove now that she was derelict of her duties they didnt go there, switched off to the spin and susan rice and going on all of the full shows a...

Consistency is a character issue, its possible. if youre governor omalley, chafee, webb, youre on the fringe, looking for a breakthrough. if you take a gratuitous shot at hillary clinton and dont connect the two dots and dont make it about why youre better, its a huge risk. including senator sanders, but for the breakthrough candidates, they need relevance, they will be tougher maybe than anyone else. but to davids point, hes popular among democrats. they may have doubts about her but a gratuito...

The unpopular side of a general election campaign im dont think the countrys enthused about trade. >> right. >> this is not a new development. all of other issues, i said the other day, flip-flopping, if thats what they are, is less egregious if you flop on to the popular side. >> it could be seen as a character issue. >> yeah. >> thats the risk. >> thats the risk. >> and democrats trust her. 68% of democrats find hillary clinton -- >> for the general election. >> voters, i think thats a questio...

Theyre forced to, theyll tell, okay, well, there was this, and yes, well, maybe there was this, and then finally comes the apology. >> thats not always the case. what was white water? what was it? >> but they dont say what is true. >> what was white water? what was travel gate? what are all these gates? >> im sure theyre hoping that will be another e-mail gate, but i do i think theres a difference when the fbi steps in to do the work. i dont dislike hillary clinton and this may prove to be not t...

Hate the name mckinley. he knows ohio has more electoral votes than alaska so maybe hes thinking ahead and sucking up to the people of the buffalo state. >> nobody can ever accuse trump of being dumb. >> kevin, lets talk about e-mails now, shall we? overnight, 7,000 e-mails were released. they talk about fish. theres a lot of indication of bloom bloom bloomenthal. the des moines register poll from earlier this week where voters were asked, how important are hillary clintons e-mails. 61% say unim...
