That context and the other two names discussed in the original round were chris cobash, and pam bondi of florida, which has connections with trump. president talks about loyalty, loyalty is the oath he demands people take but loyalty being a one-way street. if he does this to his earliest supporter in the senate, right, publicly hounding him and humiliating him out of the office what message does that send for anyone who might want to take the job, let alone the implications for an independent j...

He has this bizarre fixation on winning generally and hillary clinton in particular. every president attacks their predecessor because, oh, i inherited such a mess. except for george washington, they all do that. but this is weird. and its kind of a banana republican thing. thats really sick. and what it is, we know whats going on here. three million more americans voted for hillary, okay? the president was able to sneak through customs via the electoral college. >> lets get jason in this. it wa...

Even that celebrated meeting with the russian lawyer to borrow mrs. clintons phrase was a nothing-burger, and he could not wait to get out. he wanted to get out with a tweet with a phone call to get me out of here. if you and i want to see if there are any questions been thrown his way. i do not expect them to answer. probably enough, he does not. you believe the explanation is valid and? >> i believe it is complete package. he is repaired to talk about in detail. we certainly will talk about af...

Will benefit the workers. its not a lot to build a reelection campaign on. the other question i have, id expected them to abandon him quickly when it was clear he wasnt delivering. for the most part, they havent. we saw a washington post poll yesterday that said only 9% of republican voters are bothered. for better or worse, trump has had a cult leader effect on the base. they are not sitting there and sifting whether or not theyre getting tangible benefits. theyre going with trump maybe because...
