>> we're making things so simple, you can do your taxes on a form the size of a postcard. "inside politics," the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. welcome to "inside politics," i'm john king. to our viewers in the united states and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. remember last year when a fainting spell raised questions about hillary clinton's health? in an explosive new book, the then democratic party chairwoman said she considered trying to replace clinton with joe biden. and they face their first big test. a committee in the house over plans to scale back several very popular tax deductions. >> with this plan, the typical family of four will save $1,182 a year on their taxes. with this plan, we are getting rid of loopholes for special interests, and we are leveling

the playing field. >> up first, though, president trump on a first and consequential trip to asia. japan has stopped one of five in an speech in an american air base. the commander-in-chief sent a message to north korea. >> together with our allies, america's warriors are prepared to defend our nation, using the full range of our unmatched capabilities. no one, no dictator, no regime, and no nation, should underestimate ever american resolve. every once in a while in the past, they underestimated us. >> with us this sunday to share their reporting and their insights, malika henderson, phil mattingly and mary kathryn hamm. it is sunday evening in japan where the president wrapped up dinner with prime minister shinzo abe. a round of golf before that.

both leaders expressing their personal friendship as key to working out differences on trade and security issues. >> we are in the midst of having very major discussions on many subjects, including north korea and trade and other things. we like each other. and our countries like each other. and i don't think we've ever been closer to japan than we are right now. so it's a great honor, believe me. it's a great honor. we're going to have dinner tonight, where i think we'll insult everybody by continuing to talk about trade. >> cnn's sara moory traveling with the president who is likely to feel more welcome, isn't he, sarah, in asia than on his trips to europe? >> yeah, i think that's probably right. their relationships were certainly more fraught with many european leaders than the asian leaders he's meeting. and shinzo abe is a great example. the president and prime minister have had a very warm relationship. abe has certainly gone out of his way to keep in touch

regularly with the president and it's telling the way they coordinated the beginning of this trip. he wanted to make president trump feel comfortable. that's why they began with a round of golf, as well as with this dinner with their spouses. all of that before they get down to sort of the more official business tomorrow. that's when they're going to have the formal bilateral meeting as well as the press conference. but it gives you an indication, and it gives other world leaders an indication of sort of how to work this president. how to build a rapport with him. it's telling him that abe and even xi jinping have been able to create these bonds with president trump in a way we haven't seen with other world leaders in europe. but even in a way we haven't necessarily seen from leaders in south korea, john. >> sarah, appreciate it. enjoy the 12 days ahead. always fun traveling with the president in asia. keep your time zone straight. let's bring the conversation in the room now. sarah makes a key point. all diplomacy is personal and for this president even more so. a very good relationship with abe. he moves on to china, which if

you go back to candidate trump during the campaign, labeled him a currency manipulator, they're raping the united states. now a much more friendly relationship where they're hoping to do business on north korea. what are we looking for as the biggest deliverable or the biggest statement from the president on this trip? is it likely to be a decision? will they do this while he's actually overseas to put north korea on the list of state sponsors of terrorism? >> they might. there was some indication to -- in briefings to reporters on the plane over to asia that that will likely happen very soon. there was a question asked whether it was going to actually happen on the trip, or could come maybe a little bit later. i think they seemed to be signalling it will probably come on the trip. it's largely symbolic. it doesn't really change a whole lot. the north korean regime is already one of the most heavily sanctioned regimes in the world. and so i don't know that it leads to a whole lot. but it's very symbolic. but it's also one of those problems, north korea and its nuclear ambitions, that is immune to some of the personal

relationship-building that the president has done. so while he gets high marks for some of these relationships with the japanese prime minister, with the president of china, you know, the north korean problem is not going to be solved by a couple of rounds of golf, and nor, frankly, is the trade disagreements with some of these nations in asia, as well. so, you know, good initial start on the personal side. but it's a long 12 days with a lot of problems. >> that's why it makes it so fascinating. the other leaders are well aware of the president's domestic situation. they want to do business with him, they want to understand he can carry weight back home. look at these numbers from the "washington post." do you think the president is a strong leader? yes, 39%. 60%, no. do you think the president will act responsibly? do you trust the president to act responsibly with north korea? 34% trust a great deal or good deal. 65% trust somewhat or not at all. 51% say they don't trust the president at all for this. so the other world leaders

understand the president has got a little bit of a problem politically back home. the president's message, though, listen to the president's message here. he never mentions the word north korea here, but he's in the region. he's talking about this issue. he says, kim jong-un, look what i've done with isis. think about it. >> we've dealt isis one brutal defeat after another. and it's about time. you instill confidence in the hearts of our allies, and you strike fear in the hearts of our enemies. it's the way it should be, isn't it? >> so what are we looking for? >> well, i mean, we've already seen a lot of rhetoric from this president, right? i mean, you sort of can't go any further than what he said already, calling the leader of north korea rocket man or little rocket man, talking about fire and fury like the world has never seen. what we haven't seen is real movement in terms of north korea

curbing their nuclear ambitions, right? even as he's giving this speech and been president for the last ten months. experts feel like they're moving closer and closer to developing a nuclear weapon that can reach american shores. so it's not clear what the trump doctrine really is in terms of policy. we know what it is in terms of rhetoric. we know what it is in terms of slogans, america first, sort of the nick-naming. but in terms of deliverables, not really clear. it's a 13-day trip. we'll see sort of the president in a very kind of symbolic way, presentational. he certainly likes that. in some ways, he seems more like an american president when he's abroad. certainly more presidential. i think that's what we'll see over the next 13 days. what he comes back with in terms of real trade deals and progress is unclear. we've heard him talk a lot but haven't seen so far deliverables. >> so the interesting thing here is the careful balance he has to walk, right? if you talk to leaders or people

at embassies dealing in the asia pacific for the last decade or so, there has been a lust for american leadership. any time anybody would go over there or come over here, they would say we need you here. the beast in the room in terms of their presence there. but you need china, as well, when it comes to the north korea issue. so you have south china seas, vietnam and japan care deeply about. how do you walk the balance? meanwhile, the overarching theme for the obama administration was tpp, the trade deal. this is how we're going to keep everybody together as we work through all of this. that's no longer on the table right now. so as you're working on one-to-one unilateral trade deals with these countries, trying to figure out the north korea issue, trying to figure out how china operates within the region, while also making a visit to beijing, where you point out, the u.s. president's domestic standing and compare that to xi jinping's domestic standing over the course of the last three weeks, they're in a very different situation. so the rhetoric in the region is

helpful, given that they want american leadership, they want american power, they have been asking for those things. but what is the end game here, and how do you walk that balance between where china stands currently and where other countries in the region stand currently and obviously with north korea, kind of overshadowing everything. >> and the over shadowing -- if you did not have this intractable and escalating north korean crisis, this trip would be focused on what did the president learn from the campaign to now that gives him such a different view from china? they rape us. now he says xi jinping is the king of china. and they have a great personal relationship. >> yeah. well done. >> and they have a great personal relationship. and he thinks behind the scenes that he's getting a lot of help from the chinese government. not enough, he would say. but a lot of help on north korea. now the challenge -- can he convince people back here who thought he would be tougher on china? they're continuing to help us? we're going to give this a chance? >> certainly his supporters have shown they're willing to give him some leeway on these things. and often with trump the

rhetorical change is bigger than the policy change. i think trade is a perfect example of that. and he thinks he's getting a good relationship with xi jinping and they can work together to pressure north korea. i mean, that's an administration intractable problem. so the idea this will be solved in any big way while he's gone, not the case. i think he's comfortable having these face-to-face meetings with other leaders. i think he enjoys that and that rapport matters. abe and macron and france have figured out tangling with this guy gives a dopamine hit politically but working the way they have probably gets you a little further. so we'll see. it's all very slow work in progress. but these are some of his better moments overseas. >> it's a long trip for the president. he showed some discipline on the way over. read a quote from george h.w. bush, called him a blow hard. and the president said i might respond to that when i get home. we'll see. we'll see if that continues. next, the president says he has no reason to be angry or

worried. but two former aides under indictment and new evidence that despite months of denials, shows there were trump campaign aides in touch with russians. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish,

welcome back. the president says he is not angry at the big new developments in the russian meddling investigation. yet he also makes no secret of the fact he wishes he could make it all go away. >> i'm really not involved with the justice department. i'd like to let it run itself. but honestly, they should be looking at the democrats. they should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. they should be looking at a lot of things. and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including me. >> in just the past week, quite a bit for the president to wish away. two top former trump campaign officials were arraigned on money laundering charges. one campaign foreign policy adviser, carter page, told congress, despite his past denials, that he did meet with russian government officials during election year trip to russia. a second campaign foreign policy adviser, george papadopoulos, cut a plea deal with the special counsel. it shows superiors encouraged him to take a trip to russia. and papadopoulos at one meeting suggested to candidate trump he could arrange a meeting with vladimir putin.

>> i don't remember much about that meeting. it was a very unimportant meeting. took place a long time -- don't remember much about it. >> that i don't remember much about it just days after the president bragged that he has among the world's greatest memories of all-time. what to make of this in the sense that the president calls the "new york times" and says i'm not worried, i'm not angry, this is about other people, it's not about me. from the trump campaign, car per page, papadopoulos, if they were doing this stuff they insist the top trump people say they were freelancing. however, if you look at the papadopoulos plea deal, there are some e-mails where people seem to be encouraging him, as long as this is kept at the low level, keep going. >> no, i think that's right. i mean, i think it was a horrible week for donald trump, which is why he sort of needed to call the "new york times" and say there's nothing to see here. because there was so much to see this weekend with folks around him. interesting that in that he

says, you know, i don't really remember that meeting, but he remembers enough to frame it as unimportant. you know, this whole idea that it was low-level people, this was nothing. there's nothing to see here. but you can tell that this is an administration that is worried. our reporting shows he was seething and very angry, looking at the tv as these announcements came down. i think the key now is sort of what happens next. i think what was proven this week, we know very little about what mueller is doing. the papadopoulos thing completely out of the blue. questions now about sessions. i mean, does he go before congress again, what does that mean in terms of the president's view of sessions? does that mean he might be at risk of being pulled from his post? so, yeah. the president is clearly nervous. and he should be. >> yeah. i'm struck, having covered the campaign, when you watch some of the fallout, whether it be paul manafort, and granted that was related to things before the

campaign or with george papadopoulos. this idea during the campaign where you just got the sense they were grabbing anyone who had anything on a potential resume to try and show that they had some type of foreign policy gravitas or some type of foreign policy team. look, the beauty of their campaign was, they did it very skeletal. they did it with very little establishment help, if any at all. and that was kind of their schtick and why they won. at various points they needed to show he could actually be a world leader and someone who could stand firm on the world stage so you needed someone behind you. traditional campaigns have traditional people with traditional resumes who have been traditionally vetted, sending e-mails to people about meeting with russians and things. just base level mistakes. and one of those things where it's almost like they blundered into this situation out of concern that they just desperately needed to pull something together very quickly. and there was no question, the people that were on these advisory panels that were considered outside advisers were looked at by establishment republicans as -- to put it bluntly, kind of jokes. or people that you shouldn't

take seriously. and now those are the individuals are in part playing a role in the fact that this is getting deeper and more problematic for the current administration. >> i think one of the things that the mueller indictments and the plea agreement with papadopoulos sort of give -- elevate the discussion is that to the extent that before it was the media or president trump's critics, raising issues about contacts with russians, the trump administration could push back on that and say that's all just politics. what the special counsel did was they said, no, in documents, in black and white, we, the investigators in this investigation, believe that these contacts with russian officials were significant, were real, weren't just kind of low-level aides doing nothing but actually involved, you know, contacts that could have -- that involved senior people in the campaign. and so it puts a kind of patina of, you know, seriousness and official on it that previously it was just a matter of the sort

of normal back and forth of political discourse. and so i think going forward, the more that the special counsel does that, the deeper that this seems. >> to that point, the papadopoulos documents filed in the court say very clearly, we think this is a very tiny piece of a bigger story. and yet you have an aide in touch with -- says he's in touch with russians, can get more in touch with russians, a supervisor who now had to be withdrawn as a nominee. apparently encouraging him in these e-mails. and this after months of the president, his attorney general and others saying what context, there was no context, this is all made up. which gets to the mind set question of the president here. very smart to call the "new york times" saying this isn't about me, i'm fine here. but listen again. you heard the president at the top of the block here about how i can't meddle with the justice department, but, boy, you can tele wants to. listen to him in this radio virt interview, where he leans more into that. >> the saddest thing is because i'm the president of the united states, i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i'm not supposed to be involved

with the fbi. i'm not supposed to be doing the kind of things i would love to be doing. and i'm very frustrated by it. >> you know, he's never been elected office before, so if he said that in the first month of the administration you might say he's still learning the ropes and how a president is not only supposed to melddle, not supposd to talk about meddling, but ten months in, it's an honest snapshot of how frustrated he is by this. >> he's certainly frustrated, and these announcements were not him. but the pitch was, he hires the best people. in fact, he hires many shady and reckless people. and that comes back to bite them. there was no sort of protection of the principle to keep, freelancing away from him. sort of unconvinced there was this giant global conspiracy that the trump people knew about, and managed to keep secret for this long. despite being reckless. or that the $100,000 in facebook

ads changed the face of the american democracy. i don't think that's the case, but even so, when you have reckless folks who are not super disciplined talking to the fbi and then, i don't know, during publicity tours on cable news after they talked to house intelligence committees without a lawyer, you're going to get some contradictions, and you're going to get yourself in hot water. and it may eventually touch donald trump, because there was no structure. >> and let's remember, you can blow off carter page and george papadopoulos as low-level people who were self-promoters or whatever, but as you put those pieces of the puzzle together, proposed meetings with russians, donald trump jr., paul manafort, with a person in the room who said they had dirt on hillary clinton. we'll keep on top of this. angry fallout, lots of it, over new revelations in a blockbuster book by donna brazile, former chairwoman of the committee. and "saturday night live"

channelling its inner bernie sanders and poking a little fun at the democratic disarray. >> we're going to win this thing the bernie way. which means if i lose, i'll bring everyone else down with me. >> i need this money. >> oh, you need money. i'll tell you how to get money. here's what you do. when you go to a gas station, and you see the take a penny leave a penny, you always take a penny. that's how i bought my first house.

accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know

that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.

welcome back. a new book by the woman who served as democratic party chairwoman for the back half of the 2016 presidential campaign contains some blockbuster stuff. and is deepening a still raw party divide over the lessons of

2016 and the democrats' best path forward. the first excerpt of the new book by donna brazile reinvigorated bitterness, bernie sanders believes his party was rigged because hillary clinton had so much sway. now, in part of the book, donna brazile says she considered trying to replace clinton as the party's nominee. according to the "washington post" which has an early copy of the book, donna brazile considered asking the national democratic committee to replace clinton and her running mate, tim kaine, with a ticket of vice president joe biden and new jersey senator corey booker. the impetus was this video of secretary clinton fainting as she left the 9/11 memorial ceremonies last year. donna brazile writes that in the end, i thought of hillary and all of the women in the country who were so proud of and excited about her, i could not do this to them. more than 40 clinton campaign staffers responded yesterday with an open letter.

we were shocked to learn the news that donna brazile actively considered overturning the will of the democratic voters by attempting to replace hillary clinton and tim kaine as the democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees. it goes on to say, it is particularly troubling and pi a puzzling she would seemingly buy into false propaganda spread by the russian government about our candidate's health. wow. this has set off a boom in the democratic party, which had a pretty good fight going on anyway. donna brazile's point about the video there, she says in the book at the time she thought the campaign was anemic, anyway, lacked passion and direction. she also says when she called to find out what happened, she was lied to. one of many times she says she was lied to by the clinton campaign. does this matter? is this one person's story about a campaign and this too shall pass, or is this yet again a democratic party we focus on trump and the republicans all of the time that has just as much dysfunction and disarray?

>> yes. it is donna brazile essentially burning down the house that she partly built, that the clintons partly built, as well. obama sort of didn't necessarily pay much attention to the party, to the dnc. people so angry. i mean, i'm sure we've all been talking to democrats over these last days about the establishment democrats, very angry at donna brazile, think she has points to make and real valid points about the dnc's role, about the party in general, about its treatment of her. and also its treatment of african-american voters. right? that's one of the things she talked about in the book, according to that excerpt, telling the sort of men who were at the center, and the power center of the clinton campaign, you know, i'm not patsy the slave, right? this is some stark language and a real critique on her part of how the democratic party in some ways didn't pay enough attention to the obama coalition. so, yeah, she's got shade for dws, she's got shade for obama,

she's got shade for all of the upper level folks in the clinton campaign, too. and clinton, as well. she says clinton didn't ever really call her until months later and she felt like she deserved more respect. and this is her bout to get that. and, you know, it's also her bit that we're in a different era in terms of who the democratic party stars are. she seems to be siding with bernie sanders, talking about biden and booker there. it's a new day. and she's said herself, maybe for 2020 in terms of being a relevant person in the party. >> you know, i think more than the individual allegations that she makes, which were obviously explosive within the party and people are chitter chattering about, two things interesting to me, one, it really in an era where democrats would like to think of themselves as completely unified in opposition to donald trump, the resistance being all kind of one -- speaking in one voice, this clearly shows the cleavage that we've all been talking about for years, is still, if anything,

deeper in the democratic party. and it pore tends some difficult things ahead, as they try to win back congress and as they try to win back the presidency. it also is probably the clearest indication that i can think of that the clinton era in american politics is over. right? the fact that somebody like this can write a book like this with seemingly no fear of any sort of political reprisal, right? you know, suggests that now after almost, what, three decades of dominance that the clintons are completely to the sideline now, and that we're moving on. it may not be to joe biden, but -- but we're moving on. >> i have been in touch with donna for the last five, six days about this. she's getting a lot of blowback. you make a point about the future of the party. some democrats say bernie sanders was an independent, why is he getting all of this attention, sympathiy. he tried to take over our party, wouldn't even switch and become a member of our party. the clintons have been in our party for 25 years. it puts everybody on the spot. listen to senator elizabeth

warren, who -- remember, she never endorsed bernie sanders back during the primaries. a lot of bernie sanders supporters thought if she had jumped in and helped him, she could have made the difference. on with jake tapper the other day, asked the simple question. >> very quickly, senator, do you agree with the notion that it was rigged? >> yes. >> i mean, we say already, and it's great theater, but this the dividing line. and it's not just donna brazile. you pick up the new yorker, read the story about the democratic party, look at stan greenberg, who started with clintons and now scorning on how hillary clinton ran her campaign, the same thing happening in virginia which has an election on tuesday. this is a party that is -- >> yeah. and i think people have been rightly focused on the republican party, and the individual in the oval office who gives plenty of reasons, often in 140 characters, to focus on him and the republican party on a daily basis. speeches on the senate floor. the democratic party is in a bad place right now, in the sense of there is no unity going forward.

as mike points out, just the stark divisions post 2016. and people -- i'm not saying this is what senator warren was trying to do, but i get this all of the time on capitol hill -- democrats trying to figure out how to position themselves going forward. what is our party, what are the issues that our party should be pursuing? where is the grass roots versus where is the money? by the way, the grass roots produced a ton of money for bernie sanders. so do we need the establishment issues going forward? these are all huge things that they just haven't figured out yet. and i'm not sure what the unifying moment will be if it exists, if there is a tipping point. but one of the interesting elements here is the dnc, the party apparatus, the things that often served as the focal point of, okay, this is what we're going to decide on policy wise, this is what we're going to decide on politically wise, that has been just obliterated. and that's not a new thing, not because of 2016. the party committee -- particularly on the dimick side, has been in a bad way throughout the end of the obama administration. but watching this all kind of fall apart with there being no

central clearinghouse for democratic ideas for the future of the democratic party just underscores mike's point. which is they have a huge election now in three days. this is all coming out in the middle of that. i don't know if this bleeds into that in a major way, but it underscores the fact that neither party is really in a great unified place right now. >> yay! >> the central truth of american politics, the national gop is pretty bad at doing things, and the national democratic party keeps losing to them. and that's what democrats are trying to figure out. and so some of this is selling books and some of this is selling your own narrative about how a failed campaign went down. that's always a part of this. but i think that she's a person withstanding who is offering the democratic party a cleansing clinton fire. like, let's be done with this, let's send the signal that we're done with this. and i think the note from the insofar as of clinton is a perfect example. just caulkilling a video that es that was a real news story and real concern to actual voters

russian propaganda is not a response that fixes the problem. it's a pattern you see and saw on the campaign and one of the reasons it didn't work. >> a new leader to push the debate behind you and until they have that, they're going to have this debate. next, the republicans finally roll out details of their big new tax cut. and of course, the fighting begins. okay, i never thought i'd say this, but i found bladder leak underwear that's actually pretty. surprised?

still respectable job growth. here's one of the things that the president loves. he says, look, we keep setting records on wall street. that's a fact. the markets do help the president. but the american people, not giving the president a lot of credit for this yet. his overall job approval rating, 38%. down from 44% back in february. that's an anemic number for any president, even on the economy. 42% approve, 37% disapprove. this is better than his overall approval number. but still, not what you expect with record low unemployment, with what the president says is jobs. the president says the key now is pass my tax cut plan, and we'll come back big. >> if the stock market is at an all-time high. unemployment back in the united states is at a 17-year low. almost 2 million jobs have been added since a very, very special

day. it's called election day, november 8th. >> he traces everything back to that very special day. look, any president gets bragging rights when the economy is doing well. my question, phil mattingly, can he take this moment and convince republicans we're in a good shape, but we haven't had a great year. let's get tax cuts, get the economy going even more. they say it will be a boom. and then help me and help the party. >> look, there's an opening there. while all the economic numbers look great, wage growth has remained very steadily, and a kind of more abound place even in the jobs report. so that's the area if you want to hit on and say, look, if you haven't seen a difference in your wages, which is borne out by economic data, this is the way to do that. this is the way to juice that. the big question is, is this the plan to actually do that? and that's the issue they're ru running into right now. if you look at how it's structured and where the cuts happen, a trillion dollars on the corporate side, $300 million on the individual side, that looks skewed there.

but in republican theory, wage growth will come when the corporate side is doing better. their ability to sell the fact they need more on the corporate side to boost wages and what you're doing on the individual side is directed mostly at middle class voters or at least in a way that is effective enough for those in the middle class will determine whether or not this plan moves forward. there's a reason tax reform hasn't been done in 31 years. >> let's look at the breakdown depending on where you are on the income scale. you can look at where you are, middle higher income. we want to make it clear, these are averages. so if you live in a high tax state -- so here we go. if you make $25,000 a year, you're going to save about .7% on your taxes, $200 in your pocket. middle income, $2,000 more in your pocket. higher income people, 175,000, $4,000. nebraska, if you have the same income as those in new jersey or new york, it's different because of the hard part, selling the

state and local tax deductions. but we have a proposal. we also have memories of the obamacare debate, where every step along the way, things got more complicated. >> yeah, and i think this will face some of the same problems. having that negotiation and losing some on the right, while trying to gain some. i think there are some decent signs. there's a red state -- trump state democrats up for re-election who have signaled, i'm open to talking about this. there are the high tax folks who came out of the briefing about this about the property tax deduction being capped, which they're concerned about. and they were not enraged about it. which is better than it could have been. and, look, tax reform is complex, which i think is what we ran into when we were looking through health care. but i think it's the more fair and productive route, but that doesn't mean it's the one that gets through congress. the one that gets through congress might just be cut, cut, cut. >> but can the deal-making president, the guy who won the election saying i'm the deal-make e i'll get the stupid people in washington to get along, can he end his first year in office without this? >> he can.

you know, i mean, you sort of see them saying, maybe it will be pushed into 2018. in some ways you wonder if republicans -- >> during an election year, it would be really easy. >> right. i mean, you imagine at this point republicans might be glad that he's overseas. he was first 12 days, now 13 days. they might be trying to convince him to make it 13 or 15 days. he's not sort of in the middle of this. i do think the question is how do you sell this. it doesn't really sound like a populous plan. donald trump ran as somebody who in some ways was going to stick it to the rich and the hedge fund managers are making too much money and all they do is move money around. a republican plan. but this idea if you give corporations tax cuts that they're going to somehow trickle down to average workers, i mean, i think a lot of average people might find that hard to believe. especially given that corporations are already doing really well. they've had record-setting profits over these last years, and the stock market shows that. so that sort of sales pitch. and if you can really have trump

voters sort of emotionally attached to this, i think that's a big question. >> they don't want him around, because of the obamacare memories. but they're going to need him in the end. they're going to need him to sell it to the country and not say it's mean, for example. hang tight. we have why the country is watching not just virginia but also maine this tuesday. yes, it's election day.

he says it's too expensive. he likens it to welfare. proponents say it will help rural hospitals, rural residents and bring jobs. it will be very interesting to see what happens with that. two states probably looking at this in particular. activists in utah and idaho also trying to put expanding medicaid on the ballot in 2018. those activists looking to see what this means for where obamacare stands and what people think about medicaid expansion in these states that haven't done it yet. >> latest wrinkle in the debate that will never end. michael? >> lost amid the russian news was a meeting between the president and senate republicans in which they talked about daca, the program that president obama put in place to protect these young immigrants who had been brought here as children. the republicans came out afterwards, said they had decided with the president not to do anything about the daca program, which president trump has officially ended and is going to phase out next year. that they won't do anything about that at the end of this

year during the budget negotiations. though i will tell you, i talked to a very senior democratic senator last week who said he thinks that's largely posturing and there's still a possibility that the president who has expressed some interest in doing something for these kids, and the two parties in congress might still be able to work something out at the end of the year. so we'll see. >> one of the many things to watch in the year-end spending b bonanza bill. >> republicans score card is a bit lacking, but if you paid close attention to the senate floor last week, one area they are doing well. they slammed through four circuit court judges in a single week. that brings it to eight they have done so far. president obama in 2009 who only done three. there are still two dozen other openings waiting for them. and next week they also have several agency-level, very prominent, very kind of complicated nominations they're going to push through. mitch mcconnell is very keen on reminding everybody the senate is also in the personnel business here. if you look at the legislative failures where there are areas

that they've done well in, remaking the courts, no question about it. and on the agency side, rule making. if you want a conservative imprint to last for years, not decades, they failed on the legislative side. on the side of personnel, doing pretty well. >> ten years from now, 15, 20, a lot of stories. we'll say trump appointed judge. this is a legacy that matters. mary? >> news broke last night that senator rand paul was assaulted in his yard in kentucky. the alleged assailant is a neighbor. motivation unclear. but worth pointing out this is the second violent attack on paul himself this year. the earlier one, the congressional baseball shooting assassination that left steve scalise injured. so a quick shoutout to those who keep the democratic process safe. as we have a big election day on tuesday, everybody stay safe out there. >> mary kathryn, thanks. more on the raw anger being directed at donna brazile, much of it from people who called her a friend for years. she is a one time jesse jacks

jacksonjackson insurgent, has a history of bridging divides. now debate over hillary clinton and the 2016 campaign, blowing it wide open. many say she's twisting the facts. all say the timing is horrible. with the big election tuesday in virginia and a big broader tug of war over the democrats' direction. now a lot of this is about 2016 bad blood. some of it is about grudges and grievanc grievances built up over 25 years of the clintons dominating democratic politics. donna brazile acknowledges the fierce blowback, but isn't backing down. and one of many exchanges in recent days, one ended with this. read the book. after what the country went through, i'm not afraid. fascinating story. we'll keep an eye on that. that's it for "inside politics." hoping you can catch us weekdays. next, nancy pelosi joins "state of the union" with jake tapper. have a great sunday. when i was a navy seal,
