About not as donald trump as has gorsuch. he has taken every opportunity to distance himself, somewhat at least, from the man who chose him. finally, i think what hangs in the balance here because he will be confirmed, is will senator mcconnell have to change rules? i think right now, because of gorsuchs performance, despite their anger over what happened with president obama, they are on the precipice to get enough democrats to vote for closure and maybe not vote for him for confirmation but i ...

Is going to pass and weve seen this time and time again from president trump or his associates, redirect, redirect, redirect, throw up a smokescreen. and thats what appears to have happened right now. if im wrong in saying that, its only because thats the pattern we have seen so far. but it is -- what i found really strange other than a lot of things that chairman nunes -- >> everything thats played out today if. >> right. everything. was this one particular quote. he said about president trump,...
