How long it will hold is a question mark. but look ahead to the week, i think he has a rally set for thursday night in michigan. rallies are one place where donald trump has so often talked about the mueller investigation and thats where we get the buzz phrase of witch hunt and no collusion and all those sorts of things. can he hold out for that long? hard to imagine, but thats where we are right now. some characterizations. >> some kid intelligence, if you will. i dont know. i dont know. it was...

And republicans are questioning him about that and they clearly think theyve got him nailed on something super bad about him expressing that it would be terrifying for trump to be elected president. how terrible it is that strzok is expressing that while hes part of the investigation into whether or not the russians had successfully infiltrated trumps campaign in order to install trump in the white house because they had basically flipped people close to him. why would you think that would be ba...

White house they had basically flipped people close to him. why would you think that would be bad? they have this whole back and forth about it. at the end of it you can see in strouks own words rather than republican characterizations of it why he would have been to f-ing terrified with the prokt of the elects. >> what did you mean by f-ing terrifying. >> peter strouk. >> question what you did mean by f-ing terrifying. peter strouk that the prospect that candidate trump might be elected presi...

Congressman is trying to get peter strzok to spell out why he expressed in a text message that it would be forgive me, f-ing terrifying for trump to actually be elected president. and republicans are questioning him about that and clearly think they have him nailed on something super bad about him expressing it would be terrifying for trump to be elected president. how terrible it is that peter strzok is expressing that while part of the investigation into whether or not the russians successfull...

Candidates like senators elizabeth warren at amy klobuchar who are already facing questions about likability and treatment of staff. so im going to go to you. >> my having gone through it last time should make it a little easier. ive been in and around politics for a long time and there are a lot of men who are really unlikable who get themselves elected to very high positions, but i dont understand fully why the press just defaults to these sloppy unfair characterizations, and at least people a...

He made it clear that he put a significant amount of weight in putins claim to him that the russians didnt meddle in the 2016 elections. something we all know is a lie. what makes the characterization that mccabe represents here really extraordinary is that its so simple and its trump just simply saying, i believe that putin is right and the intelligence community is lying to me. and these are the kind of characterizations, these are the kind of conversations that just cause extraordinary concer...

Immigration. instead were caught up in donald trumps sort of racist dystopian fever dream. and i think a lot of it that we really have to think about is that his base and the nativist portion of his base are really informed by that fantasy. so reality doesnt change it. its a constant reference. i think one thing that is important to think about is this has a long history. since the 19th century, there have been certain characterizations of mexicans as bestial, savage. there is a historical way -...
