Out her broader policy message. and i think having seen what trump did in 2016 both to republicans and hillary with the nicknames and attacks, that does cause some fear. and even the moderate democrats, there is concern about running too far to the left in this country, given that the key states that you have to get 270 attend to be more middle of the road states. but then you do hear -- and by the way, kate, us often hear it from women, not men. they all say it bluntly, that they have ptsd from...

Comes on the heels of him escalating the attack. you do have a number of lawmakers rushing to the late senators defense. you also have daughter megan mccain and cindy mccain saying she has gotten some bullying tweets because of the presidents escalating his attack. all of this basically serves to overshadow the policy message. he is heading to the major battleground state to talk about jobs, cars and the economy. this is what he is focused on. he is going to depart today. well have a chance to a...

Obviously, after the race against ted cruz where he narrowly lost that. does he still have it? >> i think once you have star power, you dont usually tend to lose it just within a month or two without doing anything crazy or illegal. so i think hes seen as a rising star in the democratic party. of course, he would have wished to be elected to the senate, to replace ted cruz but now he has a totally open schedule, but hes getting some criticism from people about what is his policy message and his ...
