Think trump is trying to figure out how to fire mueller. i think the republicans have completely surrendered to trump and given up any shred of patriotism and were in a lot of trouble in this country. it is the first time i have really felt that way. >> chairman steele, many of us agree with what chairman dean just said about firing mueller. what would be the fallout to the republican party in the midterm elections if this president found some kind of way to get rid of the special counsel muelle...

Press. the democratic party is working through something called the unity commission. it is pretty darn good. it was just abopted and they have one more problems in the did, nc or the dnl party, that did put their hand on the scale which was the wrong thing to do in the 2016 election. there will be a lot of press of bernie versus hillary people. i think it is played by certain people that like to get their names in the paper. >> got to go, howard. >> okay. >> thank you very much though. that rea...
