Impeach, impeach, impeach. we now have votes we can impeach. lets bring it to senate for a trial that would be a foolish abuse of their newly elected majority. but i do think well see investigations. i think that various chairman of the committees that after jurisdiction will be sending out subpoenas. what theyll be saying is look we have to chance to investigate or respond to previous investigations. this is our turn now. so i think well see investigations i think the american public will will ...

And be president. she was the nominee. its just silly. inside baseball. for someone who got 65 million votes more than anyone except barack obama, im going to get more than a few still like her. this notion of go away, there is some sexism to it. no one said mccain should go away after 2008 or mitt romney or john kerry. its just a woman that is supposed to be quiet and go away. >> martha: the difference is that she was the nominee twice. i mean, you can look at people like joe biden who have run...

This was a case of mistaken identity. >> this is a little bit more inside baseball but i think that was a turning point. donald trump, people know who donald trump is. people, sort of baked in the cake. but i think that kavanaugh had turned a corner. it was starting to look like dr. ford and democrats were playing this game of delay. she said she wanted to come forward and then once, you know, grassley and mcconnell were like, okay, lets set the date and started it back. i felt like republicans ...
