Wants a republican party that is talking about him in a positive light, who are making the arguments that frankly youre making, hugh is making, which is the president did nothing wrong. or the president might have done something that was a little problematic, but this is how foreign policy works. we have to give them something to get something. i will say that democrats are very -- theyre very focused on how to tell the story this week, and ill told from democratic aides they wanted taylor to be...

Different answers from, yes, we are in the midst of an impeachment investigation, to no, were not, to, im not quite sure. well, folks, in politics, messaging is everything. and after last nights special election in north carolina, democrats faced difficult questions heading into 2020 about the core of their message from impeachment to guns to health care, you name it. joining me is one of the democrats in charge of this messaging issue and one thats at the top of the campaign arm of the democrat...
