that s at least three options that could be coming from the democrats. we ll go straight to nbc white house correspondent geoff bennett and congressional reporter mike viqueira. mike, these were the three options floated late in the week. like it is often, you throw it up on the wall, which one will stick, or has any stickiness to it. yeah, you know, it s been a long december but there s reason to believe the house will pass one of those three options, when in fact the democrats take over formally on january 3rd, that s the beginning of the new congress. there s lots of hoopla, lots of ceremony, but they ll have to get right back down to business, will house democrats, and pass a stopgap spending bill. richard, i m not sure which one it will be. it s likely it will pass handily, be aimed at reopening the government in the short term, by september 30th. the big question is what happens in the senate. they re on record as passing
president was not under oath, that s like nixon saying, i m not a crook. these are the kind of things you do when you re flailing all the way down. we don t know which of these charges, alex, will stick, and we certainly don t know whether they will lead to impeachment and removal from office. but what we do know is donald trump is like gulliver in gulliver s travels, where they re tying him down in many knots and making him with an inability to move. meanwhile the republicans are in a real danger of being seen as trump enablers. expect to see that phrase t.e., you re a trump enabler r.
political he s been heading to the forefront, promising a new health care plan, promising to lower prescription drug, throwing anything against the wall that will stick, and this sort of was like a human speed bump from him and he like it. it was very clear from the tweet today and he read what he read off the prompt aer. i believe the true donald trump is what we read off the tweets let me read that tweet. the republicans are doing so good at the polls, the momentum and now the bomb stuff, very unfortunate what is going on, republicans go out and vote. this is not a sort of get out the vote sort of messaging moment but he really has. it s impossible to ignore the fact that there s something political going on here, whether there is somebody the person they arrested that seems he has

have been pushing pretty strongly on it already. but what we can expect is that the trump campaign pushed even harder on these e-mails and tried to make the argument that hillary clinton is not transparent. and does not have an agenda. and ideas that are the best interest of working class americans. whether or not that will stick, given these leaks from access hollywood remains to be seen. eugene, it was interesting with the last debate, obviously people were looking on and wondering and questioning how will these two candidates, we see the image here, how would they come together? would they shake hands? they did it in this instance, how does hillary clinton even walk onto the stage given now the context of this debate, will be focused to some great extent on donald trump s comments, these lewd comments about women that have been published. that will be something certainly worth watching. we re at a place where i m not sure that we ve seen an election where two leading candidates
