Doesnt stop them. theyre going to continue to push this ridiculous impeachment narrative. >> mike: josh, what about the argument that its time for democrats to move on? >> democrats can do multiple things. they can do their constitutional duty and they can introduce policy. today chuck schumer and nancy pelosi were calling on the senate to put forth legislation, 80% support, 90% support. later in the week i believe theyre going to introduce legislation on drug pricing. so they are doing both thi...

Defeating donald trump in 2020. the presidential election i think has a lot of the focus. the democratic presidential primary has the focus of the public and the cable shows and of the media in general. that makes a lot of sense, but we cant forget that the range of issues that the democratic house is passing, voting rights legislation, prescription drugs and a lot of the issues that were on the debate stage last week are issues that democrats have taken up and mitch mcconnell is defeating. the ...
