number knight two, cory booker goes there, and the debate audience, you can feel saying finally, exactly, thank you. this is one of those times where we re not staring at the truth and calling it out. and this is a case for the democratic party, the truth will set us free. we lost the state of michigan because everybody from republicans to russians were targeting the suppression of african-american voters. we need to say that. the african-american vote in this state, four years earlier, we would have won the state of michigan. we need to have a campaign what is ready for what s coming and an all-out assault especially on the most valuable voter group in our, in fact, the highest performing voter group in our coalition which is black women. so i would be a person that tries to fight against voter suppression and activate and engage voters and coalitions that will win states like michigan and pennsylvania and wisconsin. cory booker, in debate night
like the regime. they don t want to what good is this fire and fury talk from the president? any good? i i think it s a mistake. what it will do is put i think the leadership on guard. i don t think the iranians are going to be big risk takers with this president. and we ll see what the europeans do. the problem is this policy continued in the direction it s going will produce a failed state in iran and the chaos that goes along with that. is that in our interest? i don t think it is. thank you, david ignatius. that s why we had you here. up next that s why we had you here. up next a debate audience in virginia burst into laughter when the republican senate candidate claimed that president trump was standing up to the russians. no wonder they laughed. with trump s approval among republicans through the roof, however, is that unwavering support for the president a winning strategy? wait till you see it. we re watching hardball. it s time now for your
debate when he said he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11. let s just look at this. how did he keep us safe when the world trade center [ applause ] the world excuse me. i lost hundreds of friends. okay. now here s the truth. it was not hundreds. the next day, 12 hours later on meet the press, he reduced the hundreds to he lost many, many friends. the truth is he lost zero. donald trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral. he stands there in front of the debate audience and lost hundreds of friends of 9/11. the truth is he lost zero. he lost nothing. he suffered nothing on 9/11. what do you call that? what did we just see? well, it s lying, but there are two pieces to it, i think, one is that he lies because of his sociopathic tendencies that doctor gardner was talking about. he lies in the way and scams people, he s trying to sell an idea or a product by telling you
