Perfectly. lindsey graham is a political wind sock. this is a guy who cares more about keeping his own job than the jobs of the people in south carolina. so what he has done is he has evolved. he is a chameleon. he is changing his colors just to benefit himself. he epitomizes what people hate about politics. this is somebody that i used to think had some type of moral compass, some type of background, but we have found in south carolina the question that you say youre hearing from tons of people...

Has no backbone. hes just doing whats in his best interests, and thats sad. and thats why were building an army, jaimeharrison.com to send trump back home. >> let me give you the devils advocate of defense of the wind sock here. its a state that the president won by 14 points. he represents the republican party in which the south carolina republicans im sure have an approval rate of what, 90% or something for donald trump. he is just representing his constituents. south carolinians in the main l...

For the president between now and next september when the general election is on. if they cannibalize each other and deeply wound whoever ends up being their nominee. i think it will be an issue of turnover for the president. if the democrats turned out the way they did in the midterms tomorrow, he couldnt beat at least three contenders on that side. he can be in denial about the polls. you run like your scared and ten points behind. he likes to pretend these things are fiction but they should b...

House for speaker pelosi. i think just again to play devils advocate. medicare for all is too far left and affordable care act is too far left. the far left democrats said we did the affordable care act. what did we get? nothing. not one republican vote. why not go for more. >> i remember the anti-bush backlash from the far right. a moderate. a squish. of african-americans and hispanic who self identify 43% considered themselves to be moderate. 27% conservative and only 26% to be liberal. two of...

Is reelected and that theres genuine concern that trump is pulling away from these important alliances. and i spent a lot of time talking to folks in europe, and they dont have a fear that the nato will disappear, but this is a real concern. >> look at what happened just recently in japan, his more high profile meetings werent with u.s. allies, they are with more hostile countrys leaders like kim jong-un, of course. so this is an area of strength for joe biden. this is something that he knows a ...
