That s why he was able to make this connection and that s why they still support him.e. if you look at the polls, 90% of the people that originally voted for him would vote again. lisa: you said the democrats should sit back and watched the republican party explode, richard. do you still think that s what they should do? richard: it s hard to judge a party during a special election. if you remembered 2008, when barack obama won. we ended up losing there is a huge defeat in the midterm election.p there s no question that the republicans are going to lose seats in the midterm election. what i hope my party can do is come up with a concrete message on what is affecting people and how we can create a plan to fix it. the raw material is there.
On over there. it s true, raqqa is surroundede now. trump is actually honoring his word. president obama did turn his back on them. he was afraid the iranian mullahs would not sign the agreement. he turned his back and anyone who operates in the intelligence community or special operatives will tell you how shameful that was. they were slaughtered because they weren t given air cover now they have the air cover and the weapons. all of this has been part of president trump s outstanding foreign policy and national security policies that he has put forth and implemented in quick short order. jesse: it s amazing what happens when you have a strategy. democrats are still in complete disarray.
Call you on it. richard: here s the thing, he was impeached my point is, you have richard nixon, you can have that too. every person got it. this office, disposition, thisou resolute desk comes before my twitter handle and people attacking me. greg: didn t harry truman go after a critic and threatened to beat up a critic? richard: president obama h said it best.d they attack me all the time. i will protect their right to attack me. jesse: he said it wasn t presidential, when j president obama bowed to the saudi king. what else was unpresidential was when president obama went golfing that wasn t very presidential. honestly. look at his actions. he s tweeting something and you prism
The factories, even the people on the battlefield say something completely different. p lisa: if you remember back to the election, that was the biggest knock against trump. he wouldn t be able to delegate or listen to his commanders. it s the opposite of what he is doing. he is actually delegating the commanders, they re moreit effective on the ground. secretary mattis said we are no longer moving around isis. we are annihilating them. that s the goal. they can t go back elsewhere and infiltrate places.il that s one of the biggest significant differences. that was something president obama was heavily criticized for. secretary mattis even criticized the president back in the day for taking options off the table. i think this is a place where president trump has certainly proved his critics wrong. jesse: not only did he not listen to the commanders on the ground, he tried to micromanage them, richard.
On the sales side, it s rioting and russia. i think what the person said on msnbc is right. they need a talented, high energy politician that can straddle the appeal to hard-working families in middle america. but also relate to that underdog aspect of people on the coast.me barack obama was able to do that. he was able to appeal because he seemed reasonable, fresh. he seemed too young, he seemed like he could attract independence. and he seemed like he could rally independence on the coast. when you treat america like that, you know you are in trouble. kimberly: or how to talk to the middle class and talk to working-class men and women.o wow, the disconnect.nd
