>> well, certainly, but at the same time, listen, i have always had concern about the presidents policies as well. i took to the house floor when he was a candidate and called for the muslim ban, i called for him to drop out of the race. i dont think he reflects traditional republican values, and so when i see republicans on capitol hill enabling him, i have the same frustration. but to the point earlier -- listen, democrats have to make some hard decisions here. is it enough to simply run again...
