a sham. jason: congress in vegas, the nancy pelosi that i saw, she didn t do anything until she ran it through a pollster and ran it through a focus group. is she just buying time putting where they ought to be putting a finger to the wind and figure out where they should be when you reconvene on january 27th? i think she s off script to be honest with you, and to be honest, i think this is the dog that caught the car. she is there, she wants mitch mcconnell to do things a certain way, she s not going to get mitch mcconnell to go a certain way. you are right, they poll tested what they should say in the floor speeches, what they should say in the language they accuse the president of committing, but when you get down to the bottom of it, she s having to go against somebody without being able to pull test it, without able to scripted, she has run up against a guy in mitch mcconnell who is basically authoritative and made up his
it was pretty clear what she was trying to do, but then she took it down and try to change her story. if we saw the tweet, we misinterpreted what the meaning was in the situation? not a good look for the washington post. also a cnn contributor, by the way., it it goes back to perception. so i go back to the 2016 campaign. a usa today poll asked a thousand likely voters, who do you think the media is rooting for, hillary clinton or donald trump? by a 10-1 margin, the public said hillary clinton, including clinton supporters who saw it that way. that s the perception, right? look at 2016 again, the hill does a tally. how many major newspapers were endorsing hillary clinton and how many donald trump? 57 for hillary clinton. 2 for donald trump. what did that get him, as set of you saw the eclipse that you saw before. this is devastating for the president. if that s the case, why are his poll numbers now on a 12-point
would officially replace nafta. joining me with a reaction to all of today s news is ohio congress min jim jordan and house freedom chairman andy biggs of arizona. congressman jordan, i want to start with you. i guess we forgot to ask or somebody forgot to ask speaker pelosi if you actually pass it at lightning speed this impeachment, are you going to send it over to the senate? is that something you re supposed to ask along the way? again, it s laughable if it wasn t so serious. the idea that nancy pelosi is going to try to negotiate with mitch mcconnell and tell him mitch mcconnell how to run the senate? that is laughable. here s what happened to him as number 24th when pelosi announced they go down this crazy impeachment road commission never thought she d lose support across the country and she never expected to lose support in our own congress. had one democrat vote for us, another democrat voted president, and a third democrats
see, they also see this impeachment sham for what it is, a sham. jason: congressman biggs, the nancy pelosi that i saw, she didn t do anything until she ran it through a pollster and ran it through a focus group. is she just buying time putting where they ought to be putting a finger to the wind and figure out where they should be when you reconvene on january 27th? i think she s off script to be honest with you, and to be honest, i think this is the dog that caught the car. she is there, she wants mitch mcconnell to do things a certain way, she s not going to get mitch mcconnell to go a certain way. you are right, they poll tested what they should say in the floor speeches, what they should say in the language they accuse the president of committing, but when you get down to the bottom of it, she s having to go against somebody without being able to pull test it, without able to scripted, she has run up against a guy in mitch mcconnell who is basically authoritative and made up hi
very good job of this. she tries to extort us. and use this as a tool for extortion, this idea that, well, if you don t eat your vegetables, you re not getting your dessert. as if impeachment were a reward for us? it s strange but it s not going to work, it s going to backfire badly. jason: also here from the democrats, there are going to be people in the senate who will defect, but i have not heard that has any legitimacy behind it, that there are any sort of defections, but there might be some democrats that come over and join republicans. yeah, i think that s right. between the two, the idea of republican defections and democratic defections, i will be far more surprised if i see a single republican defection then i will be, if we see multiple democratic defections voting against removal. why? he has not done anything impeachable, nothing in criminal, nothing anything wro wrong. where trump succeeded where
