i saw republicans and democrats willing to work together and trusting each other to be able to deal with serious issues facing this country. the budget was a perfect example. it took a bipartisan effort to pull together the effort to try to eventually balance our budget. that was bipartisan. john kasich played a role in that along with others. but the problem today is that, washington is dysfunctional. republicans and democrats are divided, it s partisan warfare and the problem is that they re elected to govern. and in order to govern, you ve got to reach out. you ve got to be able to work together to resolve problems. that s what our for fathers intend. i m hoping we can get past and
would minimize civilian casualties, a few radar batteries and other sites and then certainly changed. did the president call it off simply because he got cold feet, if you will, more likely it was because they received some sort of signal from overseas that there could be a next step, if not negotiations, we heard the ayatollah doesn t want any part of that. it s a fluid situation. heidi, what have you heard from capitol hill? of course on congress can approve going to war under our constitution, joe. here s the problem, the president can willfully do strikes without in approval from congress. we know we have a history of getting drawn into conflicts based on those limited strikes getting out of control. we see a split between the republicans and democrats with mitch mcconnell saying the
the way kim jong un did. i think actually u.s. policy on iran has been i think personally it s been wrong. it think we should have stayed in the iran nuclear deal. others disagree. but i think it s been consistent actually. i think it s been consistent to increase the pressure on the iranian economy to the point where there is screaming pain now inside iran and to bring us to this point where the iranians are feeling such pain that they are lashing out, that they are trying to provoke us into something that then would require international involvement and might get them to a negotiation where they could get some of this pressure off of them. the problem is we ve got steps one and two. there is no step three.
and bussing as a way to handle that problem in the 1970s. he took a lot of positions that were mainstream democratic positions related to a lot of issues that you could never take in 2019, 2020 and be okay with the african-american constituency. put aside the questions of this particular controversy. we are going to have a long discussion over the coming months in the party about joe biden s record related to african-americans and a variety of policies. do you think that this is the beginning of that conversation and how much do you think that conversation as it plays out could threaten joe biden s candidacy because of the centrality of african-american support to it? i think that we are beginning to have that discussion. i think that the problem with that discussion is you re going to have to discuss more than joe biden s record. because the same joe biden that i and others were critical of the 94 crime bill, bernie
collegial i collegiality ahead of ideology. i m curious, what do you think? i think this is the fundamental biden problem, why he s a vulnerable front-runner. because he s a back slapper, politics guy. that s exactly what the primary voters aren t looking for. the country is at each other s throats and they want a hatchet swinger. he reminds me of the old vegas act who says screw the casino, i m going all night, polka time!
