mostly, they say he has been the one among them who s gotten to the point of acceptance of where they are. while he s popular, they lost this election in a spectacular fashion. he wanted to sound this hopeful note and wanted to go back to what got the 18,020,000 people he people 18,000 or 20,000 people here. it is the big picture that he still believes and one he still believes with their help can be reality. chris matthew, i always listen of what you said after the speech tonight on live television. you dog.

so we haven t had a chance to digest it. but the attorney general in his confirmation hearings was very clear with a one-word answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. he said no, period. no condition, no modification. so obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that jeff sessions in the confirmation hearing was trying to hide something. he may simply have forgotten. but it does mean two things. number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that michael flynn was talking to the russian ambassador simply to wish him merry christmas. and of course that turns out not to be true. and michael flynn is no longer national security adviser. so this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. and it s with respect to attorney general sessions, what this means, and again, ....
