Page 2 - Doesnt Fight News Today

Welcome back. donald trump built his brand as a hard-charging businessman who never quits, never tires and never backs down. throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, he boasted about his incredible work ethic. he also frequently attacked then president barack obama for what he suggested was a lack of drive. and not spending enough time on the job. >> im going to fight for every american in every last part of this nation. we have -- we have a president who doesnt fight. he goes out and plays go...

We rarely see him do and it flies in the face in the narrative that hes the counterpuncher, that he hits back quick and doesnt fight. in this case he did but right now he doesnt seem willing to budge on the wall. >> you and josh have a piece in "the washington post" this morning, "ace investigator or nonentity"? is his the de facto chief of staff? and, two, i was speaking to a ranking democrat last night after 9:00, who was greatly aggravated that i called him at home but thats besides the point...

They want to define the republican party as blind support for one man rather than a group of ideas and i think thats a suicidal choice. >>chris: mo, in just the past week, the president fought with the chief justice. the cia, news media. special counsel. he says if he doesnt fight, he doesnt win. >> i think the president, there are a lot of fissures in our politics and society today. theyre not just ideological. theres urban versus rural, people versus the elites. what have you. and theres a lot...

Fraud also corrupts the integrity of the ballot." nothing about russians there. hmm. as the "washington post" points out, these claims arent true. "there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the u.s. trump formed a commission to study the issue shortly after he took office that was disbanded without finding evidence of fraud after states refused to turn over voter data. voting rights advocates denounced trumps remarks as a blatant attempt to intimidate voters on the eve of election day an...

See yo sue you, going to arrest you. its saying were going to prosecute political enemies and political opponent. its a disturbing trend and embraced by most members and most of trumpism. >> its amazing no one inside says, hey, we might be vulnerable on this because we dont appear to be too worried about russian interference in 2016. we called bob muellers investigation into that a witch hunt about three to four days a week. maybe we arent the guys who should go out and make up a conspiracy abou...

The point, we worked on opposing campaigns. all of us have. we used to debate ideas and approaches to solve the same problems. we dont have a shared baseline. i listened to obama and biden and the fact that their voices were gone, it seems to me that this is something that really is an emergency to former leaders. that we have to -- we have to claw back the truth. how do you fight an opponent who doesnt fight in truth? >> this is the moment im incredibly proud of the democratic party because usu...

>> im going to fight for every american in every last part of this nation. we have a president who doesnt fight. he goes out and plays golf. >> i love work. im not a vacation guy. like obama. flies in a 747. >> i promise you i will not be taking any long vacations if i take any at all. theres no time for vacations. were not going to be big on vacations. >> i mean, its tough not to say he didnt walk into any criticism hes getting now. >> hes in the rough as they say. at the same time i dont think...

That is actually part of the issue. and i dont think he gets let off the hook just as obama shouldnt have gotten off the hook. hes the great deal maker. thats what he was here to do. >> lastly i want to know, shed whatever light you can on how you think president trump should be behaving towards mitch mcconnell. they are trying to pass his agenda. >> yeah, but the question is how much is it his agenda and how much does he care about it being passed? i think he has said to them, get me whatever y...
