The Public Record
Elections in Kansas and Ohio tonight could be new litmus test for the President's position for Republican voters, a possible harbinger for things to come in the midterm elections just three months from now.
If the Democrats are competitive in districts that are 94 percent white, blue collar working class voters in the midterm election year, the Republicans are in trouble.
There's this campaign underway with the president's clear blessing to undermine Bob Mueller.
If you're President Trump and you think I only care about my 35%, then there is no political price.
If they really believe that, then they have to get some Democrats even in this environment in a quiet room, kick the reporters out and sit in the damn room until you figure it out.
If he really wants his second year to be bipartisanship, then he has to take the protest, take the -- take the this appointment the, you know, the upset Democrat and at least make this a first step and keep trying to build and prove he…
If the Democrats can win here, they think it really positions them, it will help with candidate recruitment. It will help with fundraising heading into 2018.
If Jon Ossoff can win this race, it sends not only a message here in a congressional district Republicans have held since the Jimmy Carter administration, but they also believe it sends a big national message.
The Republicans won three elections on these issues and you can say 2012 was a draw in the sense that President Obama won reelection, Republicans did not get punished that he came at the presidential year at the level you would normally…
If you know there's information out there that is going to kick you in the teeth at some point... you find a venue to get it out yourself.
This administration is taking an age-old tactic, beating up the media, picking favorites within the media to a new level.
It's one of the reasons social conservatives, judicial conservatives, Republicans in the Senate, were so energized and happy about this pick.
A president true to his campaign message, to the dismay to many conservatives who didn't like the America first, a more protectionist trade message.
He's a Republican president in an all-Republican Washington now. But even in his speech today, he railed against all establishment politicians, Democrats and Republicans.
Like on many issues, I do not mean to disrespect at all, but you need a Trump translator because he does not speak in the language of Washington.
Democrats will tell you every day that the responsibilities of the presidency require you to take extraordinary steps to put the country first, not yourself first.
I think it is a remarkable moment and she's absolutely right that the American people should watch this and all Americans no matter who you voted for, or who you support, should just feel comfortable that we get this part right.
What will he do on that question? His people want a special prosecutor. His voters want to lock her up.
We changed debates about trade. We changed debates about the corrupt system, about campaign finance. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in agreement on a lot of these things.
I do think we're going to have the most challenging presidential transition at least of my lifetime.
If you're behind in the polls, you can defy them with a great operation.
A lot of Republicans think that if Donald Trump loses the election, he's going to say he was on a path to victory and Jim Comey and the rigged system stepped out to stop it.
