I think that's a really important point, Anderson. In this case, the lessons that Trump has learned... he went out there overtly today and called on China to look for dirt on Biden, publicly.

This is unique. And I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that these are exactly the components and the items that were being pitched in that phone call that we have seen the notes of the transcript from in what Giuliani has been…

There's been this accusation that State Department officials were pushing these leaders in Ukraine and other places to find this information about Biden.

Democrats I think are clear-eyed in the Senate and I talk being to staffers they know there has to be 20 Republicans that would come and vote for impeachment at that point in the process.

the likelihood of him roguely setting up meetings for Giuliani of all people with the government he is sitting in the country and representing the United States for, is so unbelievable.

The African-American vote is critical for Biden.

It's hard to play that role as being the face of the United States, the person at the table, the person negotiating if you are also being the coordinator of the national security teams.

You don't win Iowa through a 'Campaign commercial,' or by being around for a long time.

It sends a message that you're above the law if you're in the White House. And certainly that comes from the current president and, hopefully, that's not what the message future presidents send.

That's right and it's pretty shocking to watch. I mean, when I was in the White House in 2016, our lawyers were so strict, we called them the Hatch Act police behind their backs. Now they may know, I guess, if they're watchers.

I think in some ways it was set up in a way that Joe Biden couldn't align head-to-head with President Trump. That's a part of his message that he's inevitable.

I think Joe Biden knows that and has long known that. He does want to hook himself to the successes they work together on over the course of eight years.

He wants nothing more than to defeat Donald Trump but he also knows that if members of the party who are - who are supporting other candidates feel like they - their voice doesn't count, their vote doesn't count, that he's stepping on…

I think we have to be very careful not to group everything together because as Lucy has said, this was not assault.

the only person who it's up to obviously, whether or not he's running is Joe Biden.

I also agree with the point he made about the fact that Democrats can't sit here and accuse Republicans, including President Trump, and others, of being racist while allowing and standing by this kind of behavior.

The President shutdown the government to satisfy a campaign pledge, they know that.

I think the pressure is going to be on a lot of the Republicans, including Mitch McConnell who's been largely absent from this the debate to just have a clean vote and move forward to this negotiation after, whether or not President Trump…

The security of our nation is more important than these crazy, narcissistic moods of the president of the United States.

This is a risky move for Trump, because this is a role now that probably will not be taken at that level of seriousness by other U.N. ambassadors and it really diminishes the effectiveness of the first -- you know, role of the U.N…

I think a lot of what David said I actually agree with. I mean, there's no question Heather has briefed effectively representing the views of the President, but that's not what this job is.

There's a lot of connectivity here we don't know yet, but questions.

I think it's fair, as Michael said, we don't really know a lot more from these 13 pages, but we know Michael Flynn is cooperating a lot.

I would say, look, I worked on many presidential elections, but a first election and then a reelect, it's hard when you run for reelection for a couple of reasons. One is that people look at what your record is and what you promised and…

There is a reason that 97 percent of scientists feel this is a huge emerging problem.
