Being hand and glove with the defense. >> and it seems the holiday wasnt enough to distract trump from the impeachment process. look at his twitter account. the president is evidently consumed by it along with the democrats leading the charge. case in point, after a brief merry christmas tweet early yesterday morning, trump spent the rest of the day attacking nancy pelosi and his other political opponents, a trend that continued today, but its more than just analyzing the presidents mood on twit...

Democrats are seizing on a recent court ruling that puts obamacare in further jeopardy, targeting republicans ahead of 2020. and theyre running ards reminding voters of republican repeal efforts, makes sense when its democratic versus republican. if you were advising any of the candidates, how would you tell them to do this? >> health care is a winning issue for democrats. for the last ten years youve watched republicans attempt to strip away health care restrictions. what i would tell any democ...

Difficult for them politically and put pressure on them. >> you mentioned alaska senator lesion is a murkowski speaking out about the impeachment process. she is distinguishing herself from her colleagues and is critical of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell pinpointing his past comments about total coordination with the white house. lets listen to a little sound of that. >> in fairness, when i heard that, i was disturbed. if we are tasked as the full senate to do impartial justice under the...
