cleve, let me begin with you. seeing that welcome to ilhan omar, a state the president once again said this morning he thinks he can win in 2020, i mean look at that outpouring of support for her. what does that tell you? does it say anything about the president's strategy here maybe backfiring a little bit? >> well, i don't know about backfiring. i think it depends on what side of the issue that you're on. you know, there are some advantages for trump's statement, especially her people who are already at his base, particularly it allows him to paint not just ilhan omar but all democrats as sort of un-american. and nothing really fires up the base or very few things fire up the base more than that. so while there are some clear obvious disadvantages, you know, one of them is his ability to flick paint on all democrats even his opponents.
