Bit hard to tell when the president engages in an outburst that agrees with an emotionally incontinent fox news viewer that likes to talk back to the television versus how much hes trying a new political strategy. one tendency that has developed among democrats and not completely without worry that engaging trump with the fights that he picks is engaging him on his own turf. the racist invective we see from him is not popular with american voters. a recent poll found that registered voters massi...

Of things hes talking about appeal to a lot of republicans and if he ran for president, hed get a lot of votes. you know, 30 years later hes pretending he doesnt know who david duke is. >> wow. yeah, there was a remarkable moment where he was asked to sort of denounce duke on camera and he said, who is this david duke? >> he knows exactly who david duke was because hes running his 90 campaign and hes going to do it again in 2020 and hes going to count on the injured feelings of his voters. >> th...

That doing so played into dukes hands, allowed him to set the agenda. the lesson that tim drew was focuses on the racism was the best way to beat trump in 2020, the same way he helped beat trump in 1991. tim wise joins me now along with a staff writer at "the atlantic" who has written about the unprecedented danger to the core of america -- its not a moral choice. i think everyone was very clear about who david duke is, right? so the question is how do you beat david duke in the state of louisia...
