and no doubt donald trump is the gop. the gop is donald trump. i love the fact president obama laid out those key issues and plus the economy. which is such the big thing the right runs on. what economic miracle does the 96 months of job growth. two quick stats. unemployment came down six points in the last ten years. five under president obama. african-american trump loves to claim responsibility. ten points in the last year. 90% under president obama. one point under trump. yet he wants to claim the responsibility in all the accomplishments of the black president president. >> he wants to co-op president obama's legacy and at the same time demeanize the man. that's been his mo. it's like his first lady who is a brilliant line at the republican convention was michelle obama's line. do you think this kind of a speech during the obama presidency, particularly on the issue dean mentioned on the economy, tauting the economic comeback, do you wish president obama had done that then so that people in their minds would always be crediting him rather th

now donald trump knows its real. now the republican strategists who are saying that the republican campaign is a shipwreck have finally gotten through donald trump because the polls are delivering a message even donald trump cannot ignore. today's quinpic university poll, 52% democratic candidate and 38% saying they would vote for republican. the biggest polling reversal for republicans is in the midwest where the trump tariffs have done more damage to the agriculture sector of the economy than any other. t the marrist poll shows in july democrats and republicans were tied, and now 51% to 31%. republican senator mitch mcconnell can no longer pretend that he's confident republicans will hold onto the senate. here's what he said yesterday about the suddenly close senate races that republicans were supposed to win like texas where ted cruz is now running scared against democrat beto o'rork. >> all of them too close to call and everyone just a brawl in every one of those places. i hope when the smoke clears we'll still h

donald trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral, not one.as been much debate in the news media about how do you know when a trump lie is a lie and not just a falsehood that he believes? one way of knowing that a trump lie is a lie is that he stops saying it. and when i held that lie up to donald trump's face, even he could see how evil that lie was. and even donald trump knew he could never try to tell that lie again. and so he never did. in a political debate on a saturday night he said he lost hundreds of friends. and the next morning on "meet the press," he said he lost many, many friends on 9/11. and then he never, ever said it again, never. in a political debate to score points, donald trump tried to steal the grief of 9/11 families and then use that grief as his own. use it as a weapon in a political debate. and the one thing we know donald trump has never felt about 9/11 is grief. in his lifelong quest for attention, donald trump managed to get himself on local television in new york city on 9/11 after both of the world trade center t

. >> you got donald trump's attention today. he's always been more than reluctant to attack you when you're representing stormy daniels, who he tried to apparently keep as a girlfriend for about a year. he tweeted this morning saying avenatti's a third-rate lawyer who's good at making false accusations like he did on me. i don't know why he doesn't seem to notice that all the accusations you made about him have been proven true. he goes onto say that he calls you a total lowlife, and then in a presidential press conference today you got yourself in the presidential press conference history books by getting attacked by the president. let's look at this. >> and then you have this other con-artist, avenatti, come out with another beauty today. i just heard about one a little while ago. i can tell you her lawyer is a lowlife, okay? so i don't know about today's person that came forward. i do know about the lawyer, and -- and you don't get much worse, bad reputation to take a look at his past. >> your reaction? >> well, lawrence, i w

step back from donald trump for a moment. donald trump is who he is.e first politician to lie. he lies a lot more. what's happening, though, is he's shifting the window and people are becoming numb to it or willing to believe the lies. gary kasperof made this point, in an authoritarian regime, lies aren't deef signed to make you believe one thing or another, it's to make you doubt your critical sensibility to -- >> it's gaslighting. >> gaslight. we get to a point where i don't know what to believe, i don't know what is true. when he said the lester holt interview was botched or what was the term he used -- >> fake. >> it was not. but now he's planted the seed out there and is it conceivable 40% of americans might begin to say, well, i don't know what to believe. even if i see the videotape, i won't believe it. >> why is that there? why do americans say i don't know what to believe and as a default side with the president? >> because he tells them a story about america that they want to hear. >> which is? >> which is -- a friend of mine who is a republi

so that certainly tells you that donald trump is an issue. >> donald trump is the number one issue. and as much as we like to have debates over policy issues and we should, if you look at just the republican primaries and special elections, we know among republican voters, the singular issue is the cult of personality that is donald trump. for democrats there is a lot of currency in suggesting that we oppose donald trump, his leadership and what he stands for. i want to go to jason's comment a little bit. i think it's been smart to talk about corruption and releasing a list of items they would investigate. but i think democrats have to be careful not to be too cute by half here. we do have a president who confessed to participating in an action that a federal judge entered into a judgment as a crime in the michael cohen case. and it is important that democrats at least recognize that and be willing to talk about how they might approach impeachment in january should they take control. will democrats focus on corruption or open an investigation into whether this rises to the level of

it was blue in 2008, red for donald trump this past year.at playing out in north carolina with blue territories like mecklenburg county, greensboro but a lot of rules in areas that tend to be majority right. >> the district i represented for a decade was split between urban and rural. it wasn't that long ago, so different, 7 points ahead of the ticket, in 2004, and 2008, it has become much more polarized. downright tribal. eboni: we could go on much longer. we got to wrap, we will be right back. t into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪ (gasp) (singsong) budget meeting! sweet. if you compare last quarter to this quarter... various: mmm. it's no wonder everything seems a little better with the creamy taste of philly, made with fresh milk and real cream. >> five people arrested at a new mexico compound on weapons and conspiracy charges after charges against we of them were dropped earlier this week. >> the latest development

donald trump is donald trump. he's been this way for decades.slin wrote about him in the 1980s saying that he creates razzle dazzle saying trump will be on top. he created this persona. his entire being is built on exaggeration and lies. but the people around him who are willing to take it as far as they have and adopt it as their own personal mantras. this is the annihilation of truth here. step back from donald trump for a moment. he is not the first politician to lie. he lies a lot more. but he is shifting the window and the people are becoming numb to it or willing to believe the lie. gary kasparov made this point in an authoritarian regime, the lies are not designed to believe one thing or another. it is to doubt that you know what the truth is. gas lighting. so i don't know what to believe. i don't know what is true. when he says the lester holt interview was botched, or what was the term he used? faked in some way? it was not. but now he's planted the seed out there. is it inconceivable that 40% of americans might say, well, i don't know

let's begin with donald trump's assault on the rule of law.nk what she means by this is an assault on democrats rule of law, she is not happy with the positions, the things he has done towards the epa and other initiatives democrats usually promote. on top of this she tries to say as if the president has this iron fist rule of law but she's forgetting the house and the senate and states rights and the supreme court. look at california. california is alive and well and fighting back against the president for better or for worse. states rights. heather: they forget those a lot. the legitimacy of our elections is in doubt. >> i think this comes again from the fact she is not over losing this election. there's a lot of bitterness that seeps through in this op-ed. did russia succeed in sowing discord? absolutely. did they interfere in those votes that got donald trump elected? absolutely not. maybe she should have spent more time campaigning in michigan. heather: third, the president is waging war on truth and reason. >> i'm never going to be the o

but donald trump confronting dan coats or donald trump confronting mike pompeo or anyone else in thattration is actually something hard to envision for such a cowardly man. >> it's true. he actually doesn't even confront jeff sessions. he just tweets about him and rages about him to other people. he could fire him if he wanted. he is president of the united states. but he won't even do that. so i think that's right. i think he will end his minions out to forage around in desks and look at computers and look at phones and all the rest of it. maybe he'll even roll out the lie detector tests. that would be fun. but i don't think that he is going to have the nerve to look someone like dan coats in the eye and say, you did it. i know you did it. i don't think that's his style. >> ron klain, you've been involved in trying to strategize congressional elections for democrats. this is the kind of moment that is the nightmare moment for a party where you're -- everything you're trying to do gets completely distracted by the person who is supposed to be the figurehead of your campaigning. >> yea

does donald trump get it? does he understand that they're all leaking and he can't trust any of them? >> of course he did. of course he does. and he never trusts anyone to begin with. one of the people in that group is his son-in-law, the guy married to his daughter and he apparently doesn't trust his son-in-law. when he sued me at one point, you know, he sued me because i had anonymous sources. he wanted to know who my anonymous sources were. they deposed me for two days. at one point his lawyers began reading a list to me of trump insiders and people outside the organization that he was to to find out if i had spoken to them. after he got to about the fifth person i realized they were on a fishing expedition and i said i'm not going to answer this question. my lawyers intervened and we moved on. and what's ironic about that is he's employing the same principal right now in the white house. he is trying to fair it out, anonymous sources. and it's -- the man that's doing this is someone that spent the last fiv

donald trump is finally doing what his handlers are telling him to do, and that has to be because donaldmp is terrified. esther identified of losing the supreme court nominee who jumped out of the pack of candidates because brett kavanagh was the only one whose writing indicated he no longer believes the president of the united states can be subpoenaed to give testimony. something brett kavanagh did believe when he was working in the special prosecutor's office that was investigating president bill clinton. donald trump was defensive about brett kavanagh today, but not very strongly. he was just saying things like he's an outstanding man, and donald trump complained about senator dianne feinstein not making these accusations public earlier, even though senator feinstein was working under a pledge to maintain the privacy of professor christine blasey ford. but after the president's kind of mandatory and half-hearted criticisms of senator feinstein and the democrat, donald trump said something today that he has never, ever said before. when he was accused of sexual assault. >> we feel that

>> donald trump knows why. sexual assaulters like donald trump know the answer to that question, that's why people like trump repeatedly sexual assault women as he's accused of doing through the his entire adulthood and as he boasted about on that "access hollywood" video. there are hundreds of thousands of answers to donald trump's question on twitter under the the hashtag #whyididn'treport. sexual assaulters know why women don't report. that is what sexual assaulters are counting on, that they will never be reported. and i hope i'm just one of millions of men who spent a couple of hours today reading those answers. thousands of them contained an identical line word for word, no one would believe me. it keeps recurring as a haunting refrain as you read why i didn't report. angel ward said i was 17 and he was my best friend and told me no one would believe me. he had more friends than i did and his parents knew mine and i thought i would be blamed. why i didn't report. darrell hannah said i did, it didn't matte

donald trump. i love that donald trump bought in cash -- manafort bought in cash a condo from paul manafort for over $3 million. it is one of the assets that now mueller has is manafort's condo in trump tower. so mueller now owns a condo in trump tower. >> they should run it from there. i have to bring that back because you have done a lot of background on the family because part of what looks like it happened, your book, that donald trump was using those condos as a way for russians to invest, get their money out of russia and into the united states. >> absolutely. there are buildings in florida that trump has and elsewhere. donald has done this all throughout his career. when the late great wayne barrett was the first reporter to get on him in the '70s, donald tried to bribe him with an apartment in trump tower. >> i have to play this now. this is donald trump jr.'s gma interview. he's talking about -- it almost sounds like an episode of the "sopranos." here's don jr. >> i think there are people

>> i got to be honest, donald trump's tweet every time donald trump tweets and some of his tweets are seemingly outrageous but what is really outrageous is when we see these things he becomes more and were corrupted because this does look like targeting of the trump campaign, this was an individual the investigators went after with no definitive evidence or proof to connect them to the campaign in and of itself so it does appear it is a witchhunt every time we get more information from the fbi. it seems as though there is something there. >> this is all wrapped up in the midterms, politics, the president calls it a witchhunt, democrats trying to get to the truth, 2020 just down the way and i was struck to find out john kerry in 2004 was the nominee, had a rough time against george w. bush, he is leaving the door open to running in 2020. >> i hope he does, that would be great. i can't wait until that windsurfing elitist, we are sec compliant, it is so ridiculous they are exhuming these guys who failed and failed and failed. i hope to see john kerry fight it out with hillary clinton for

and donald trump. didn't he have to tell the mueller team everything he had before getting the pardon? >> that's the condition of any plea agreement. when he came forward in the proffer he had to dazzle the prosecutors enough to believe the information he had was reliable and that it went up the chain of command. i caution everybody, yes, it's possible that it's trump, trtrump jr., jared kushner, but it could also be the other folks in the russian investigation, russians. so it could relate to those people as well. which would be interesting if manafort has information that's not damaging to the americans above him, but that he really has information damaging only to russians. does he then still appear loyal to president trump and keep the possibility open for a pardon. we can't rule that out. >> i wonder what the value of a pardon is at this point. if he already told what he knows, whatever he told is damaging enough that they were willing to give him a deal. this is even alan said on friday on msnbc.

always been donald trump. donald trump gets the last line of the book, and it is in the description by the president's former defense lawyer, john dowd. trump had one overriding problem that dowd knew but couldn't bring himself to say to the president. you're a f-ing liar. joining our discussion now, harry littman, former u.s. attorney and deputy attorney general under president clinton and maya wiley who served as counsel to new york city mayor bill de blasio. she's an msnbc legal analyst. and maya, in the woodward book we're seeing that john dowd is calling the president a liar and the "new york times" reporting that robert mueller has partially given up on the idea of ever getting an interview with donald trump and is interested in possibly getting written answers at least on the collusion questions. >> yeah, i think it's pretty clear that donald trump can't tell the truth on a regular basis. we know that. that's clearly something he has demonstrated in public. so it's not so surprising that someone like a

let's start with donald trump.is how he connects with voters and i think it is an important asset in congressional districts the won in 2016, where republicans want to mitchell they can win a game. when you look at his predecessor barack 0bama, yes he is back on the campaign trailand is 0bama, yes he is back on the campaign trail and is going to philadelphia tomorrow and california, there are some democratic candidates who say, we don't want you anywhere near our state. people likejon tester in the state. people likejon tester in the state of montana. it could axe fire on the democrats and give the republicans another punching bag. —— it could backfire. i wonder if it is a different regime from the old presidents. we know that donald trump's approval ratings are that donald trump's approval ratings a re pretty low. that donald trump's approval ratings are pretty low. is there a renewed nostalgia for the old guys? i think some of it is nostalgia and some of it is practical. let's talk about george w bush who is perh

it is hard to know, jonathan, what the bridge too far is for donald trump. but for some people this is it. >> 18% believe the world is flat. you know? you can get 18% for anything. so that is a really, really low number. and i think there are a number of other things that have happened in the last few weeks. we happened to mention john mccain. he just beat donald trump in a landslide, even though he was -- you know, he had died. and the contrast there i think was very, very powerful in the last ten days when they were in the field with that -- with that poll. and so you had a lot of republicans and independents who outnumbered democrats and republicans in this poll. they are now the number one political force in this country by about 7 or 8 points where people identify themselves as independents. then democrats. then republicans bringing up the rear. and the various things that they're trying to do on the republican side to rally their base are not working. for instance, they thought that they were going to turn a young woman who was tragically killed in iow
