Reporters from the a.p. and "the new york times" and fox news reporter james rosen and other presidents were guilty of constitutional overreach. in 1937, fdr attempted to pack courts with friendly judges. there was the box 13 scandal with 1948 when lbj was accused of stepping 202 additional ballots into a box which miraculously swung the texas election in his favor at the last minute. and of course, nixons saturday night massacre in 1973 where he fired both his attorney general and deputy attorn...

For the first time in history, democrats are winning college white voters. and we havent won college white voters in a long, long time, and pulling even with white women. we havent been this competitive with white voters since lbj signed the civil rights legislation and realigned the parties. >> im supposed to go but can i just ask you, that youth vote youre talking about, is that applicable to a distaste for donald trump? >> it is, particularly among college-educated white women, it absolutely ...

Central california, what an extraordinary story, she put herself out, she lost, but still you just -- you look at -- >> she will be back. >> a republican like her -- yeah, she will be back. >> she will be back. >> andrew gillum will be back. there are so many people on both sides that will be back. there were great candidates on both sides. >> i was limping stening to dork and its so true. think about the inspiration these women provided to a young girl or young women who said i can be that. i w...

Not afraid to buck the president which is a message that is clearly well received in some of the well healed suburbs of nashville and memphis and places like that. now, hes right in the sense that marsha blackburn is not the second coming of lbj in any sort of way. she doesnt have a ton of huge legislative achievements under her belt and bredesen was a governor and trying to make the point for tennessee, which had many of what they consider to be statesmen in the senate, hes a better fit and the...
