Certainly might cut down the scale, the way -- how to put this -- how much mcauliffe might beat in these areas. >> right, looking at margins or two. democrats with a win,win. the leaders in the party say, look, mcauliffe squeaks out a win by a point or two, it is not necessarily a good sign going forward. >> this is a test of the trump effect. >> right. >> it was all about getting the disaffected white voters who didnt participate in the voting process to join in. then the other side, it was the...

A lot of work that smart lawyers like marc elias and others believe need to be done to the system to help fortify it to prevent a coup attempt like that in the future from a more strategic and a more savvy president or presidential candidate and that work is not being done right now. >> it is such an important point. we do not come back to it enough. the coup failed because trump was too stupid to pull it off, not because he hadnt succeeded in putting actors at d.o.d., at the pentagon and all ov...

The doubt, because, you know, dan knows a heck of a lot more than i do, but at some point, patience runs thin and the investigation has to take shape and form now and we cant wait much longer so im curious to see what he says tomorrow. >> are you in the camp that is sort of spilling into public, theres a piece by max boot, former republican, in the "washington post" today that says, i think garland needs to appoint a special counsel to thoroughly investigate trumps abuses of power. naturally tru...

Democratic party base for action. >> the patience is starting to run out here, nicole, in part because democratic party activists and leaders around the country are seeing the poll numbers that were all seeing, which is that bidens popularity is declining in some of these key states it appears increasingly likely, at this point, of course, that could change, but that democrats could lose their house majority in the midterm elections next year so theres a sense that time is running out, the clock...

Including "the washington post" story that you referenced. i mean, is it just me or does a list -- every list grow every time we look at house republicans and january 6th? i mean, its kind of like planning a wedding or something. if you invite gosar then you have to invite boebert and marjorie taylor greene is going to crash no matter what. all of these people look involved and that is, i think, one of the kind of things that you think about when you appoint a special counsel. the classic case i...

Guy or a bad guy. about whether or not he actually won the election or didnt win the election. and if he pulls this off, theyre going to be so many republican senators going, whew, we can do this. we can keep pretending that trump is not a nut ball who is embarrassing our country on a national stage. continuing to embarrass our country on a national stage. i know trump motivated democratic voters so its not surprising that mcauliffe is making that the theme of his election. but this is all about...

Have fueled his campaign from the beginning. his message of book banning and silencing esteemed black authors is a racist dog whistle. mainly his top endorser and surrogate, donald trump. cynical, depressing, appalling, but to claires point, we all have to watch and see if this is what sells on the right. >> well, in the list of things that "the washington post" outlined in their editorial, i would add to that race baiting. as you can see in these closing ads. youngkin spent the time advertising...

Mark zuckerberg at the expense of the rest of us. i dont think hes a bad person. i know a lot of people are sort of attacking him for various things, but i think hes incapable of dealing with what hes created. its not the person thats bad. its the architecture of facebook. the problem is what do you do about that at this point given how big it is. >> i want to understand more about whether internally, theres some sort of tipping point that zuckerberg has on his hands. a little of this is working...

To other republicans to potentially if they were to win, too, you know, what kind of place would the country be in? thats the presidents message tonight. there is concern that this is something where the republicans have at this point, effectively down played what happened on january 6th and have whitewashes that day for so many of their supporters and independents who initially were so horrified by it, but now seem to come to peace with it. >> claire mccaskill, there is palpable dread on your f...

Is that a number? anyway. it would be zero. and we havent had any. lets focus on the people that have the pour to do something, which is congress, which cant seem to agree on lunch at this point. they are coming together on big tech and we have to move beyond zuckerberg and start to regulate in some way a lot of this stuff around data, around privacy. and all kind of areas and stop arguing about free speech. and discuss large companies that have enormous power over all of us, especially during t...
