Page 180 - Foil News Today

Negotiate and from a political standpoint, no better political trefoil than nancy pelosi. >> two quick points, nothing new about marcia fudge or hoyer, been around a really long time. the second thing is its naive and down right goofy to think that any democratic leader is going to all of the sudden be, you know, welcomed by republicans across the country. it doesnt, you know, they could elect donald duck the leader and then donald duck then be the republican foil in the next election. these can...

Effective foil. shes featured in many republican adds to save their incumbent. he sees her as someone who might be easier to spar with with. he clearly is very vested in having her take over the house and he would be battling with her for the next two years as he heads into his reelection campaign. >> president trump saying that he could probably get new york representative tom reed to vote for nancy pelosi. also making news about his cabinet sawing hes very happy ewith the cabinet but there cou...

So this is not just a political stunt but its a political stunt that is going to waste taxpayer money, resources and time. and what we need to do right now is to focus on the business at hand, which is again as alice said to get to the bottom of what happened with the russia meddling into our elections and to frankly figure out what role trump and his campaign had in helping the russians to meddle in these elections, if any. >> so -- >> and if they are convinced that theres nothing there, then t...

To a district and not expecting a primary, after supporting nancy pelosi, for whatever reason to be the next speaker of the house. >> you hit the nail on the head, victor. its a grand gesture for the president to offer to corral votes for nancy pelosi. any republican that follows through, they might as well get a u-haul truck. >> does the president know he cant get republicans to vote for nancy pelosi? >> i assume so. any republican would certainly know that. youre also right, nancy pelosi is a ...

Here. why do you think the president is endorsing. what does he have to gain by it? >> hi wants to make sure she is speaker, so he has a foil when he fails miserably to get hi agenda enacted. he wants this controversy to be about him, not about nancy and democrats. i questioned someone earlier. is marsha fudge a likely opponent? >> i doubt it. i think people believe that nancy will ultimately prevail. her loyalists will have the vast

Well put it up one more time. >> one second. >> go ahead. >> shes also a prolific fund-raiser. the money, the money is everything. >> 135 million. >> and i also just wanted to say in response the president also says he types her to be hard working, thinks she deserves the job, beliefs he can work with her. is that why he wants her to have the job? does he want her to be a 2020 foil so he can keep running against her. >> didnt work for them last time. >> theres questions as to why he wants her to...

Not only been a loyalist, hes taken vice president sycophantcy to a whole new level. this president demands absolute loyalty but you almost cant be loyal enough. whether theres an effort to replace mike pence, im skeptical about that. >> you heard the president, how hes mentioned nancy pelosi. is he doing so because, well, he knows that he has a foil if policies cant get through, he can say leader pelosi didnt get it done, its not my fault at all? >> i think he likes to just needle democrats any...

Theyre trying to get something out of it or is it a significant degree of opposition? well see in a couple of days whether this manifests into something more substantive. given her base of support, its going to be really hard to move her out unless you start seeing some of her core spae allies hesitating. >> its been said by those on the left and right, charlie, that leader pelosi is a force to be reckoned with. wouldnt the president not want to see her on the other side? >> well, nancy pelosi i...

About chuck schumer she has only been minority leader for one congress two years. harry reid before that for a long time. nancy pelosi has been in power for a long time. and people have been calling for is change. they asked for it in 2016. they asked for more of it in 2018 i dont think its so much sexism as it is we are looking for a new generation. we want to see some changes around here. i actually think that marcia fudge very interesting. i dont think she went in to the meeting with nancy pe...

He likes sparring. we all know this is a president who likes to create some level of chaos. whats your take on what were seeing here unfold? >> first of all, youre absolutely right that the president likes this, and so there are sort of two stories happening at the same time. one is the legal story, and the question of due process of the president not just being able to throw someones -- throw someone out of the briefing room is really significant, and its significant for the access that journal...
