And still voted to convict him even though she doesnt think he would have been caught without his work with the president. >> i wanted so badly for him to be innocent and no one said anything other than he was a brilliant man who did his job very well, which is why president trump had hired him to help in his election. but its hard. he still broke the law. >> duncan also told us she plans to vote for president trump in 2020 and drove to court in alexandria every day with a make america great aga...

Essentially trying to block everything. and i think if we communicate that correctly, well win by a huge margin. >> jon: what do you think how he assesses that? >> it makes a lot of sense for him to be saying that. thats what republicans have been focusing on saying that were just the party that talks about russia all the time. the fox news poll came out yesterday there is heartening news. we saw obamacare has a higher approval rating than the gop tax bill. 51% for the tax cuts. that should be t...

Conducted himself throughout his trial. >> president trump: i have great respect for what he has done in terms of what he has gone through. so look, i didnt know manafort well. he wasnt with the campaign long. they got him on things totally unrelated to the campaign. they got cohen totally unrelated to the campaign. im not involved and not charged with anything. >> as you pointed out at the top the president not ruling out but not ruling in a potential pardon for paul manafort. it is in his inte...

President. he owes nothing to paul manafort. >> sandra: what would the fallout be if he decided to pardon him. >> great. paul manafort faces another trial within the mid-term season. the court should hold off until the mid-terms. democrats will politicize it and make it a campaign. he is a convicted felon and await trial after the mid-terms. >> jon: meantime, all of this is throwing new fuel on the fire in the battle over supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. some democrats calling to hold off ...

See the prospects of having a very good november but not far enough to take the house. maybe a 25% chance that they can keep the house. >> dana: a decent chance. >> the crisis of confidence in the left after all of their victories and special elections, after all the organizing, the notion that the american public would ratify of two years of corruption, sexism, bigotry, the american people would ratify that and donald trump would be on a good course to win in 2020. a crisis on the left is entir...

The brakes on that. we dont want to do that. could that actually help republicans with turnout? >> yes, i do think that if they focus on democratic control of the house being definite impeachment, that that will probably motivate a bunch of trump voters to vote for republicans that theyre highly disappointed in an apathetic about. on the democratic side, these numbers look good but they dont turn out in mid-terms as you know. its usually an electorate older and wider and more conservative. so th...

Mid-terms. theres a lot of polls between now and then. what did you take from this one? >> well, what is interesting that we should remind obviously the viewers from november of 2016 in perpetuity, polls are not votes. so while a majority of the country did not prefer candidate donald trump, many voters stayed home. they didnt like hillary and he won the election. we dont know who will show up on election day. even though theres good news in president trumps approval rating these days, holding s...

How is that message going to play for democrats? >> this is to me one of the most underreported issues. when we survey the whole mainstream media, it will be one of the most important election issues. when you have the left saying lets abolish ice on the heels of us seeing this tragic murder, it is not about abolish ice, its about protect americans. that message resonates and throughout the elections and will in the mid-terms. its a big problem. sandra. you look, 1/5 of those in custody in feder...
