Without a democrat at the top of the ticket, no one was in the way. if that can happen again, theres no reason democrats cant beat donald trump. the issue is does someone end up at the top of the ticket that they can use as a foil effectively and allow them. >> we have one minute if you see me waiving my arms, we are out of time. will the joe biden false equivalence gaffe reporting, compared to, say, today in the trump presidency. will that just continue

Big time, all of them. >> they take seriously inside of the white house and they face a possible threat from a strong democratic nominee in 2020. and so theyre looking at things like executive action on the border wall to try to get that base activated op the republican side, knowing that they face a real tough outcome in congress this fall. speaker pelosi may not bring the usnc to a vote. >> the nafta substitute. why doesnt he blame it on the democrats, katie? they dont want the help him on the...
