Rod rosenstein arrive. and then what comes from it is really unclear. but the ripple effects of rosenstein leaving, be it by resigning or by being fired, i mean, how it happens really matters, but the ripple effect regardless is going to be huge on capitol hill. >> thats right. and thats what a lot of the presidents allies were so worried about, the kind of ripple effect. and thats why many of them, including people on fox news, people like sean hannity, they felt like this is something that he ...

Or is the intensity come november more likely to be seen on the democratic side surrounding this issue?ou >> the intensity is more likely to bes seen on the democratic side. the good faith argument for republicans is they want to push ahead with this nomination in order to meet the supreme courts beginning of the session which starts on october 1. ther bad faith argument they wt to get this over with before the mid-terms. same thing applies to democrats. they want to push this off as close o to ...

Everything in many ways, so this week, i think, is a textbook example of that, not only with kavanaugh, but with this very strange slow-motion resignation or firing on all the news that broke on friday, and the president responding, basically saying he wanted to clear the stench at some point and maybe thats whats going to happen. at some point, his base will certainly be happy. we heard from people like laura ingraham, other people, jeanine pirro, saying fire him immediately. and so it took him...

For the president to move on this now or avoid the issue and wait until after the mid-terms? how do you read it? >> i think the president has excellent political instincts. i also think that its very inappropriate for us to act base solely on andrew mccabes assertions because we have called him a liar repeatedly. you cant pick the things that you think are honest and discard those that you think are dishonest. this is a bold president that didnt think about the next election. he thinks about wha...

Circle now. but these are, you know, issues that the democratic candidates actually have to carry and not something they can put on the shoulder of the obamas. >> this appears to be focused on young people going through social media, lots of celebrities. but we know, especially during mid terms, that the youth vote is dramatically lower than other groups. lets put up the numbers from the 2014 mid terms. 18 to 29-year-olds made up just 13% of the electorate there. how is this different? we have s...

>> its interesting this poll, 42% of women oppose kavanaugh, 28% support him. how big of a concern is that going into the mid-terms? do you think republican would fair better if they pulled c kavanau kavanaugh at this point? >> no, and i think polling can change. >> weigh in. >> just really quickly if you look at that poll actually with republican women, they supported kavanaugh in august this year at 58%. now theyre up to 66% or 67%. that support has actually increased with republican women. so...

Democrats maintaining their advantage. it was up from 2 points last month. is it too soon, josh, to tell how much this confirmation fight will be a mid-term driver? >> i think people are mostly guessing when they say how they think this is going to affect the mid-terms. its increasing intensity on both sides of the political spectrum. that could be good for republicans because democrats already have high intensity. on one hand you could have demoralized conservatives who feel they cant even put ...
