Page 5 - Primary Opponent News Today

Totally crazy, write whatever they want, never do fact-checking anymore, only looking for the kill, they are beyond fake, they are corrupt and then he says a real opponent is not the democrats or the dwindling number of republicans, our primary opponent is the fake news media, buck, does it help the president when he says theres no democratic nominee to say the primary opponent is the media? >> yeah, i think it helps him because right now, by doing that, what hes establishing is that hes, you kn...

Mainstream media has gone totally crazy, write whatever they want, never do fact-checking anymore, only looking for the kill, they are beyond fake, they are corrupt and then he says a real opponent is not the democrats or the dwindling number of republicans, our primary opponent is the fake news media, buck, does it help the president when he says theres no democratic nominee to say the primary opponent is the media? >> yeah, i think it helps him because right now, by doing that, what hes establ...

Another good debate. she was able to articulate her policy vision. stuff i dont agree with, but i think a lot of primary voters do. secondly, she came out of that debate untouched by her primary opponent. she took no friendly fire and there was none of the differences against her or her record. i think senator sanders at some point if he wants to have a chance in this race, but didnt last night. >> dana: what do you make of that, sanders and warren almost seem to have an alliance of fighting bac...

That. >> harris: hears with the president said moments ago, very sad commentary about todays politics. we know that in the beginning, it was republicans trying to get this research as well. that is not denied by this president, which is why it boggles the mind that the dnc could go forth on something they knew wasnt true. >> its important to keep in mind that this was opposition research that originated during the dnc primary. he would not name names. i think one of the question is, was originat...

Donald trump walks in the room. every morning i wake up in my office and i scroll twitter to see which tweets that i will have to pretend that i did not see later on. >> that was paul ryan tonight roasting the president at the al smith dinner new york, a traditionally lighthearted affair. back now with my panel. what did you think, jamie? >> i thought that was funny. i like the line about the cabinet clapping when he came in to the room. >> yeah, but the tweet thing. lets listen a little bit mor...

Be true because you can find them on the internet. number one, like youve heard, im from wisconsin. wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit in the fall. looking back, probably should have told hillary clinton that fact. [laughter] just saying. speaking of which, actually, i got a copy of her new book. this thing sums up politics perfectly. she took 8 months writing 10 hours a day to explain what happened in 512 pages. the president explained it in a tweet. #iwon. [laughter] fact number two, you ...

Drilling down on the base rather than trying to expand the base, you know, i think hes inviting one. >> that is pretty strong. i have to say, im kind of surprised. and we heard susan collins a few days ago say something along the lines of that we shouldnt necessarily expect that president trump will be the nominee in 2020. >> i think this is unwise. when someone asks you about a hypothetical primary opponent for your current partys president, see, i dont deal in hypotheticals, i have a real prim...

Of staff john kelly. interestingly enough, though, those who were not invited, including, as you mentioned, the republican senators from arizona, both john mccain and jeff flake, have been very critical of the president, both with some very harsh words for donald trump after that press conference at trump tower last tuesday where the president talked about the violence in charlottesville. the president has not hesitated in responding specifically to jeff flake, as you said, calling him weak, cal...

Will face a well-funded primary opponent. the second factor is that the polarization in washington in many ways reflects the divisions in our country. more and more people are living with people who have the same views that they do, theyre accessing news outlets that reinforce what they already think. we are seeing a growing intolerance on campuses for alternative viewpoints. all of that combines to produce the visions in our country that i think washington reflects. >> thats pretty good answer....

Theoretically buck that trend. republican susan collins, whos among the most bipartisan members of the senate. angus king, just 1 of 2 senate independents. he does caucus with the democrats. both happen to be from maine and they join me now to discuss whether the two sides can ever get along. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> it is going to be pollyannaish. and you guys are going to say the right things about bipartisanship. but what are the hurdles to bringing common ground back to the c...
