Completely unrelated issue. i think when you look at that completely objectively president trump and mitch mcconnell are in the right here. >> bill: quick answer, did democrats miscalculate on this shutdown? >> i dont think so. its the only power they had. immigration is tough. there is a question of do we piecemeal it. do we deal with daca, or force the hand of doing a comprehensive tackling all aspects of it? they couldnt do it under obama. they did healthcare instead. now is the chance and i ...

Argentina. interestingly, alex, a lot of people out here this year were also here last year. they kind of dub themselves womens march veterans. but lets talk about the mood out here. weve seen a shift between the mood from last year and this year. as youll remember, of course, last years march was birthed essentially after the 2016 elections. so certainly president trump was a focal point, kind of speaking out against him, against his policies. this year, weve kind of seen a shift. in fact the m...
