Us. why now, in terms of the president on making a big proclamation over in afghanistan, and when he talks about a cease fire in terms of the taliban agreeing to that, is that something real and on the table? >> it doesnt appear to be real and on the table now, particularly if you listen to the taliban react to his comments. why now? it could just be that he wanted a head line. it might be that hes ahead of his skis and he got more detailed than he should have been, or maybe he just wanted to ma...

To the forefront she has a national security background and she felt compelled to lean into it. so it will be interesting to see her reactions on the process earlier this week. >> nancy pelosi and adam schiff have said all along they reluctantly came to this but had no choice. up next, long-simmering tensions between president trump and military leaders spill out into the open. >> announcer: "inside politics" is brought to you by salonpas. try it for your pain. for effective, non-addictive rel...

Going to work through the re-election. and one of the things weve seen certainly in the polling is that, while support for impeachment jumped up at the beginning of this ukraine scandal, opposition has begun to tick up as this process has gone on. and so i think if you are a republican or the president, you are saying whatever were doing is working. we are dividing the country. theres not growing support for this. and the democrats are now on the defensive, because they had always said this ough...

Decline to send any sort of representative and keep up this idea that the process is just a sham? >> i think this is the strategic question that they face. but if they have concluded that they have no ability to stop the vote in the house and no real fear of, you know, imminent danger in the senate, their calculation is what is the margin in taking part in this? if we want to say its not legitimate and then we legitimize it by participating, are we sending mixed signals? all of the political thi...

In the next step of the process. theres going to be a big hearing on the 4th on wednesday, and youre going to see -- weve seen signs so far that yes, they may not fully participate in the process despite the complaints of being shut out of the process. and youve also seen congressional republicans also continuing to make that process argument. theyre saying, you know, during a similar hearing during the clinton process you got 19 witnesses, theres only going to be four. we need some equality in ...

46%, strong pro-impeachment, 32%, strong anti-impeachment, and then its about 15%, 6% no opinion at all, and 9% soft either way. >> i think democrats think that this is a pretty risky process, particularly those in the sort of battleground districts that helped the party win back control of the house. i can say that when youre out on the presidential campaign, this is not something that comes up all that much. once in a while somebody asks a question, maybe theres a question per event, but for t...

Hell send a lawyer to cross-examine witnesses and make his own case to the committee. thats what richard nixon and bill clinton both did, but sources tell cnn that the white house is leaning against it. instead they want to paint the whole process as unfair and ill legitimate. >> a witch hunt, the same as before, and theyre pushing the impeachment witch hunt, and a lot of bad things are happening to them. because you see whats happening in the polls? everybody said thats really [ bleep ]. the ra...

Going the way we want, we sit and look at how to make improvements going forward. and thats a continuous process in every area of this campaign. and particularly for something as important as reaching out to minority voters. we will continue to look at whats working, what isnt, and how to make sure whats in my plans, but also whats inside me, is communicated the right way and were listening as much as were speaking. >> meanwhile, a super pac thats backing senator cory booker is on air with its f...
