joining me now is david drucker. david, thank you for joining us. what do you make, first of all, of biden's response to trump's public slams? it's sort of an indication so far how he'll hit back at the president on the campaign trail as we head towards 2020. what do you make of the strategy? >> i think it's imperative for the democrat that wants to win the nomination to prove they can take on trump head on. that's what democrats want to see most of all. if you can't handle trump and not effective at just not responding and going after him first, then i think there's a lot left to be desired for a lot of democrats. i don't think you have to be as far to the left as some of the candidates are that are running. i do think that what democratic voters across the board want to see is somebody who is tough and quick and can fight with the president on his own turf. much of that turf democrats feel he took from them and that they want to get it back. >> interesting thing about this tactic this is something we have known about joe biden, that he can kind of

joining me again from washington, senior political correspondent for the "washington examiner," david druckers have a realistic shot here of getting president trump's tax returns before this april 23rd deadline >> you nerve know but i doubt it. the president will fight this toot and nail. he doesn't want his tax returns out there or he would have released them. so i think he's going to go the mat for this. from the president's perspective this fight works for him. he can say he's fighting against democratic congress that want to do nothing but investigate him rather than work with him. democrats have to do everything they can having laid down a marker to gate hold of the president's tax returns. clearly people are smart enough to look at them, even a congressman who is not an account. they will hire very experienced lawyers and accountants and other investigators to comb through these things, if they ever get them. i wonder if we're ever going to see this given what a protracted legal battle could mean. >> we're seeing more democrats release years of their own tax returns, kamala harris has r

joining me from washington, senior washington correspondent david drucker. thanks for joining us so early. let's talk about tim ryan as we just heard from him in youngstown, ohio at his first campaign rally over the weekend, officially joining the 2020 race. what do you make of tim's appeal to blue collar workers as a way to stan out amongst a very crowded field so far? >> i think it depends on where this fits into the democratic primary, especially with so many candidates. the winner of the presidency is going by necessity to have to appeal to blue collar workers and as he referred to them the flyover states, the heartland, manufacturing communities, communities that are no longer manufacturing commune because they have been decimated by a changing and evolving economy. so he's on the right track in terms of his messaging and his approach when you're looking at a 2020 general election. the question is with so many choices in the democratic primary, is this sort of focused message one that is stylistic and will probably shy away from ambitious progressive pr

let's bring in david drucker, senior political correspondent for "the washington examiner". vid, democrats are running the house now and democrats have decided they want their staffs, including lawyers, to ask questions of the attorney general. he appears not to like that idea. >> look, i'm not surprised. i think it's a good move by democrats to try to get their lawyers and expert staff to question the attorney general because you are likely to elicit more information with pointed questions by professionals rather than the usual grandstanding you get in these sorts of hearing from a member of congress. a lot of them aren't going to be legal minds or expert in this. the questions are not going to be as sharp, not as knowledgeable, and for all of those reasons i understand why the attorney general wouldn't want to submit to these new guidelines. because it's going to look much better for him and he will have the upper hand much more likely i would say if he is the one controlling how the question and answer session runs. and given his deep experience he served as attorney gener
