Implications of the end of trump, and it never came close to true. many see a president who will push the limits to win, but apparently almost as many -- and im talking about the half of independents who dont favor impeachment, not just left and right. they see this as just more of the same in a dirty game. dems go low to get trump. he goes low to get them. so why should one side use the rules they seem to abuse to get the other side for abuse? now, i hear you. youre screaming false equivalency,...

Sadly. look at the last three years. promises, expectations of smoking guns and gotchas as implications of the end of trump, and it never came close to true. many see a president who will push the limits to win, but apparently almost as many -- and im talking about the half of independents who dont favor impeachment, not just left and right. they see this as just more of the same in a dirty game. dems go low to get trump. he goes low to get them. so why should one side use the rules they seem to...

A little bit, richard, on that statement, he tried to set up a false equivalency. what he said is, listen, in our diplomatic work, we do try to influence other countries behavior by saying, listen, we will give you aid if. but heres really the rub. the if is often something like if you stop ethnic cleansing. okay? that is actually a good foreign policy for the united states to pursue. what you cant do is say we will give you aid if you fabricate some information about the presidents political op...

Latter. the second thing in the text messages is the word thanks, period, at the end of the very last one that you read where you have gordon responding and hes saying lets do this -- >> lets do this off text, thanks, period. >> thats a red flag to you? >> its a red flag to me because anybody in the federal government who has ever gotten an email with thanks, period, knows that theyre not being thanked. >> what do you make of it? >> shes right, i think the key challenge is what the president is ...

>> it could be a false equivalency if its done wrong. but, look, ask john kerry about swift boat. ask hillary clinton about benghazi or the computer. trying to ignore something and make it go away doesnt make it go away. if theres an issue out there, candidates and the media need to confront it. they need to be able to answer the questions and answer them well. that doesnt let the media off the hook, though, michael. heres where i agree about those who would scream about false equivalency. if yo...
