I talked to two different Hill offices today on the Democratic side involved in these negotiations. I have to tell you, presidents named everyone came up David, they didn't even thinking about him. He's so AWOL right now.

McCarthy has huge assets going into this midterm, huge colossal assets, three of them.
It's pathetic. It's just pathetic, it is not defending his father, when Mr. Trump falsely suggested that somehow he was complicit in the Kennedy assassination; not defending his wife when Mr. Trump attacked Heidi Cruz's looks.
Trump is a threat to your Social Security, to your Medicare, to your healthcare, your childcare. God knows he is to your abortion rights, and even to our democracy.
When Trump talks about all this, all his own grudges, his own grievances, his own vendettas, his own vengeance, it riles up people he's already got, but it alienates the people he needs.
