It says that the house has the "sole power to impeach" and it says that the senate has the "sole power to try all impeachments" so, basically, nancy pelosi could do it she wanted with majority support, could do what you want in the house, and they did, they impeach the president. but now, it goes to the senate, and the senate can do what it wants with that this trial. i do think that there will be some sort of an agreement reached, because what you just heard, marc short, vice president pences c...

[ applause ] >> joining our discussion now on the eve of that historic vote. hes a member of the house foreign affairs committee. we herds some boos, some disagreement, but, obviously, majority support in that group. more than majority support in that group. did you get a chance to talk to any of the people after that town hall who disagreed with your decision? >> well, i spoke to them during the town hall. but i deliberately called on people who i saw being were

President there, a majority support. there was a usa today showing 51% opposing that different sides that are going to promote different sides. look at the average of all the polls that are out there on this question. let me show you where that stands radioiight now and basic dead even. 6.0 of a point. yes, tit is hovering 46 and 47 and no is catching yes today in the average. basically, very, very little has changed since the impeachment process was initiated. >> can you help us understand, you...

The president was invited to submit testimony. he was invited to send his counsel. he has declined to do so. >> i want to show what some members, some democratic members who are in the sort of trump districts have been saying about what they want to see in this idea of the impeachment inquiry expanding. heres elaine lorea. i dont think we should throw the whole kitchen sink and overreach. ben mcadams, it should be left to voters in the 2020 election. tom malinowski, if we impeach the president f...

>> i mean its just confusing the way you laid it out. theres a lot of movement there. i want to get to the other article youve written, it is titled obamacare is working. of course thats the affordable care act. trumps big campaign promise was to repeal the affordable care act. is it fair to say theres large support for obamacare while the president is working so hard to get rid of it. is this something that people want to keep? >> theres modest support for obamacare, its in the low 50s. but the...

Are harmful to communities of color over a longer period of time or at least perceived that way and has shared the quote a few minutes ago. i think a lot of these candidates would have to update their rhetoric, if not their policies if they want to do a better job. it is one of the reasons, you havent seen anybody get the majority support from the latin american or latino community so far. >> saying we are kind of a understanded to what happened with joe biden. it has been the story that has bee...

Others? >> the whole point of impeachment is to make your case and to persuade the public and sometimes that takes time. the fact that democrats have not been willing to take that time, the fact that they have really not made any effort to convince republicans in the congress writes, if they had deadlines they would have done the process and a much more deliberate way and they would have given the minority the right traditionally given to them. at the white house as well, this is not, and in the...

Strategy. so the question of whether its legitimate is a little bit beside the point because all of this stems from a desire to throw up as many roadblocks to the process as possible. thats why they blocked off everyone from don mcgahn to john bolton from testifying. its why they have thrown up numerous lawsuits and legal challenges designed to delay and distract and hold on to the idea that assuming that the republicans stick together as a bloc, the entire thing will fall into the sort of predi...

Though you could probably guess. and those ads and the critiques by bloomberg and biden and others seem to be having an effect. but there is this disconnect here thats hard to explain, because the polls and this zeitgeist that explains warrens polling drop dont really match. for example, a new poll from survey monkey and "the new york times" shows that the majority of americans actually agree with many of warrens core ideas. warrens proposed wealth tax has the majority support of almost every gr...

Impeachment hearing began. it seems like, politically, at least from his perspective, its a strategy thats working. >> well, its a strategy -- look, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. the presidents response to every challenge is to kind of double down on mobilizing his base. and that -- you know, that has produced a kind of rock solid wall of support among his core constituencies of evangelical, non-college, and non-urban white voters, which in turn has made it very ha...
