Explanation with this and im struggling with it. >> this is a president who talks in superlatives. it doesnt mean he acts in superlatives whether its foreign policy, domestic policy or recounting what he did, his conduct of the american economy. he is going to talk big. that doesnt necessarily mean that he reflects big. i think the other thing that is going on here is that people in the white house clearly are kept out of the loop on certain things. i dont believe that sara huckabee sanders went...

Democrats take control of the house in 2018. the poll numbers are absolutely staggering. the congressional ballot test. the minus 16 that republicans are, and again, that was before all of this blew up and the white house was caught in 24 hours worth of lies. this is going to be another 24 to 48 hours of turmoil that the president has caused himself and his staff. and it just continues. >> joe scarborough from "morning joe," all of us watching the lester interview with president trump and some o...

The way, a rarity. guys, what are we looking at? okay, okay, that was comey. so the vice president talked on the hill today, which was a rarity. president trump had said, quote, it is essentially we find new leadership for the fbi that restores trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission. as a form member of the intel community, do you take that personally? >> i do. putting aside the repug independent nature of the letter, he was so self-serving he said three times you told me im n...

Think that donald trump was suitable material to become the president of the united not sur serves very well in the end but it does fit the narrative of what many americans, particularly fiscal conservatives, those who couldnt find it in their hearts to vote for donald trump wanted to believe that john kasich was a principled, fiscal servative, center right sort of guy. >> whats kasichs play on this? >> heres the essence of the story. the punch line is left out in that recounting which is that j...
