as long as donald trump is there , it will be only about donald trump iraida there will be -- about donald trump. there will be no policy discussions. it will be donald trump 24/7. so we get rid of donald trump, then republicans and democrats have to learn again how to debate and fight about issues respectfully and learn how to come together. whoever the next president is, they will have to unify the country. maybe somebody like me, who has been involved in the fights and who has been a divisive, maybe it will take somebody like me to say that is wrong and we need to come together. we have a country that is bankrupt. we have a country that is bankrupt. we have profound issues of health care and immigration and climate to name a few. we have to have both parties sitting at the table. it will take a real presidential leadership to bring both parties together. steve: let's talk about you. born in illinois, the fifth of nine children. what was life like for you and your family? mr. walsh: it was fun. it is a lot of fun now when all the kids, my siblings, we are older and have kids and grandkid

donald trump. [laughter] it's all wrong out there. they have no idea what they are talking about. it is so incredible to be back in the great state of michigan, in 2016. we are going to do it again in 2020. i mean, let's be honest. they did not expect for donald in 2016, didhere they? we are going to do it again and we are going to do it even bigger, because i am going to tell you that really made the democrats mad when they lost the state. [cheering] how mad they are going to be when they lose by an even bigger margin in 2020. do among their candidates they really think and beat donald j. trump? none of them. joe, blessve, sleepy his heart. i am from the south. that is what you say in the south. bless his heart. the reality is, that party has gotten so out of control, everyone in that party is so far left there advocating for things like socialism, full government control of every aspect of this country. and the problem they're having is that we have success and prosperity and jobs and low unemplo

it was donald trump. really if you remember in nancy pelosi and many of the democratic caucus had decided that as pelosi always said, that trump wasn't worth this, he had probably done impeachable things but he wasn't worth putting the country through this. and then he did the ukraine scheme, the ukraine bribery scheme capped by the phone call and then the whistle-blower came forward and immediately the whole thing changed. and it became not unlikely there would be impeachment, but really it became inevitable. he forced the hand of the house. and the house had to respond. >> and john heilemann, nancy pelosi, back when she was saying donald trump wasn't worth deback for impeachment which san odd thing to say about the president and impeachment, she also sds something else that sounded strange at the time which is donald trump will self-impeach. now we know what she meant. >> it's not just that he did these things that compelled the house to impeach him, it's that he got away with the russia thing, he got t

he was successful, he was rich, everybody knew donald trump and everybody really liked donald trump before he ran his for republican as if he was a president. can you imagine if he ran as a democrat how much the media would've found all over him how much they would've loved him? but he couldn't do that because he knew what he represented, and what he stood for were conservative bret republican ideals. every day i'd travel around this country and i meet so many people. do we have for any former democrats who voted for donald trump? look at bap, that's amazing. people come up to me all the time and they say you know, i used to be a democrat, but i didn't know that i actually was a republican until i started hearing the things that donald trump was saying. turns out i was a republican all along i was just voting the wrong way all these years. so congratulations, let's give our friends around of applause. [applause] but the president didn't need this job. now arguably his life is so much harder now because he is our president. but i've got to tell you guys he wouldn't trade it for anything in

they didn't expect donald trump to win in 2016. we are going to do it again and we are going to do it even bigger because that really made the democrats mad when they lost this state. think about how mad they are going to be when we went by and even the bigger margin in 2020. reality is they have no idea what they've got going on. what is happening in that party. with the ask a serious question. who among their candidates did thedothey think can beat donald trump? none of them. first of all, bless his heart combined from the south, that's what we say, bless his heart. the reality is that party has gotten so out of control, everyone in that party is so far left they are advocating for things like socialism, for government control of every aspect of this country, and the problem they are having is that we have success and prosperity and jobs and low unemployment under this president. so how do you fight that? now they know that they can't win. they know all their candidates are bad. they know that it's going to be nearly impossible t

they would all say about donald trump what i say about donald trump.they are afraid to say it publicly now. but that's what they believe. they are all trump enablers right now. and would you pants sean hannity and fox news in that category? >> sean hannity is an idiot. sean hannity is probably in the same category, they're just cheerleaders. people like hannity and fox news, and let's be real, it's the world i come from, conservative talk radio. if i were still a congressman, i would vote to impeach this president. there would be a norm is pressure put on me as a republican congressman if i impeach this president. but i lived with, three years of enormous pressure on me being a conservative talk radio host. my radio companies, the company i worked for, they busted my chops every week to only saying trumps praises. to say that donald trump is the greatest. that's what you have to do in conservative talk radio if you want great ratings. that's what hannity does. that's what all the rest do. i could never do that because i could only say what i believe. b

other day that letter that donald trump to nancy pelosi, so much of it told you so much about donalde to his relationship with nancy pelosi. it felt like he wrote it. it was clear that the white house counsel was not involved in the drafting of that letter. there was an anger and a resen resentment and a weirdness. what impact is nancy pelosi having on donald trump? >> i think she triggers him a little bit. she triggers some of that insecurity he feels, which is why he performs his masculinity in such a specific way, tries to be the tough man, the bully. she reveals that to all be a con. i think that really gets under his skin. i also think that women in this particular moment, since the women's march, have essentially stood up and said, this particular man said you can grab a woman by the you no wh-- you know what, you can do anything you want to a woman. i've channeled a certain amount of rage since then. i'm not the only one. what nancy pelosi's strength represents is a moment where women are standing up to the male bullies, whether they be on the street cat-calling you, in your w

has donald trump committed other crimes? has donald trump violated the constitution in other ways?gly yes. there are obviously other things that he deserves to be impeached for. you know, which is one reason why i really wish that these hearings had gone on quite a bit longer and that there had been quite a bit public airing of the scope of donald trump's corruption and wrongdoing since taking office. >> well, you raised that and certainly in the mueller case, there was an attempt to have the lead prosecutor go farther than he wanted. that didn't play well for a variety of reasons. then there was an attempt to bring in resistant fact witnesses. that didn't go as well either. and, so, i wonder, did they really get gun shy when you could, and we have, gone through the mueller report, sometimes with quotes and what they call sound bytes and sometimes with other voluminous material. it seems to me mueller is above everything because mueller is your appointed prosecutor who found at least five. >> well, again, i think it depends what metric you are judging by, right? whenever i argue yo

donald trump.is that if possible she would like to sort of fix his presidency into a normal one, or is she more interested in seeing him gone? >> well, when it comes to the trade deal, nancy pelosi said over and over again when it came to working people, we're not going anywhere without each other. that was very clear. and despite pressure for months and months and multi-million-dollar campaign pushing her to accept the president's version of the deal she said, no, we have to bring in enforcement because that's everything if you're talking about our workers, if you're talking about health care consumers and people concerned about the environment. so those were always her standards. i don't think this presidency is fixable. i don't really think that's the point. and i tell people all the time the norms are shattered. so we have to build new ones on the ashes of our own expectations and the morays donald trump has torched. what can we get done for the people? and that has always been the message that

letter that donald trump sent to nancy pelosi, so much of it told you so much about donald trump.ncy pelosi. it was clear the white house counsel was not involved in the drafting of that letter. there was an anger and resentment and weirdness. what impact is nancy pelosi having on donald trump? >> i think she triggers some of that insecurity she feels, which is why he performs his masculinity in such a way. she reveals that to all be a con. and i think that gets under his skin. i also think that women in this particular moment, since the women's march, have essentially stood up and said this particular man said you can grab a woman by the you know what, you can do anything you want to a woman. it was that line that got to me the most. i channelled a certain amount of rage since then. but i'm not the only one. i think what nancy pelosi's strength rchts is women standing up to the male bullies, whether they're cat calling you in the work plsz or in the white house. i think nancy pelosi is a good example of how tostand up for yourself and your country. frrms >> she knew she'd have th

as long as donald trump is there, will be only about donald trump. there will be no big policy debate and discussion. it will be trump 24-7. then we get rid of trump, trump is gone, then what democrats and republicans have to learn again is how to debate and fight about issues respectively and learn how to come together. whoever the next president is, they are going to have to try to unify the country. maybe somebody like me, who has been involved in the fights and , mayben pretty divisive it will take someone like me to say that is wrong and we have to come together. but look, we have a country that is bankrupt. we have big, profound issues of health care and immigration and ,limate, to just name a few that we have to have both parties sitting at the table. it is going to take real presidential leadership to bring both parties together. steve: let's talk about you born in illinois. the fifth of nine children. what was it like growing up for you and your family? mr. walsh: it was a lot of fun. you come from a big family. it was a lot of fun. it is a

they're all willing to be donald trump's lap dogs and his body men.hey're not congress people anymore. they don't even want to defend their own power. the seconds article is that he defied them, congress and they don't care. it's literally monarchism, which is the last thing i think anyone ever expected out of american politicians. >> and un of the things contained in what joy was just describing is the generally unnoted collapse of the male ego. mitch mcconnell is the senate majority leader. senate majority leader did not mind telling the president how things were going to work. the speaker of the house never minded telling the president what he could not have. and yes, there was just power kpergz # exersion involved. but always what i was observing was demonstrations of the male ego in both directions. it's gone from republicanism in washington except for one person, who has it in the white house. >>> this is, to me, less a question for historians and more for psycho analysts. i don't know if you've ever read "esk "escape from freedom." and that's w

beating donald trump. i do think it has to do with what david jolly was just talking about, how do you beat -- how do you beat the president in an economy that's fairly robust. sure, are some people hurting, not doing well as you said, joy? absolutely. the other thing i see in this debate today was sort of this argument between the past and the future. donald trump is decidedly the past. everything he talks about is the past. the way he speaks about women is the past. the way he speaks about minorities is the past. his jobs are all about the past. coal jobs are all about the past. the person who is talking most about the future was actually andrew -- was andrew yang. and i saw this division -- i think bernie sanders was really fading in this campaign. he has a lot of old ideas. and elizabeth warren has a lot of old ideas. she says, i have a plan, but we used to call that central planning. that's something that went out with the bolshevicz. andrew yang keeps talking about the future. i thought klobuchar did

the biography of donald trump in the future will be donald trump in the future will be donald trump withpresident of the united states, and he was impeached. whatever happens in the senate next, the fact that he has been impeached means he has been impeached. they may decide on the senate, it looks likely that they will decide in the senate during the trial process, not to re m ove senate during the trial process, not to remove him from office. the same thing happened to bill clinton. he was not removed from office but he will have been an impeached president. and he has said in michigan this is an eternal mark of shame and a political suicide march, he has gone on to say. so donald trump is reacting to the events as they unfold. an eternal mark of shame. and eternal mark of shame. on himself? know, on the congress. i can't imagine donald trump thinking this is a mark of shame on himself. no, an eternal mark of shame on the democrats. on this vote, the yeas are 239, the nays are 198. present is one. article two is adopted. donald trump has been impeached on the second article, obstructio

we are not going to beat donald trump with an equal and opposite donald trump. >> more than any reasonor this operation, this office, to be resentful and angry with the republicans. >> my poll numbers are the highest they have ever been. mike: let's look at the real clear politics averages nationally and in a couple critical early states. nationally joe biden leading the pack. a lot of this race will come down to early states, pete buttigieg, the mayor of south bend leading in iowa, bernie sanders with a narrow lead in new hampshire. let's bring in the panel, katie pavlik and steve clemons, the state of the 2020 race. >> a polite support the democratic party with elizabeth for bernie sanders, her numbers with a bit, bernie surging and those that identify with more of a centrist traditional lining up behind biden who is not beating pete buttigieg. you have an interesting contest in both wings of the party and nothing to resolve those wings. >> based on early polling there is no clear nominee. pete buttigieg and bernie sanders have moment going into iowa and new hampshire but hit a brick

which brings us to the madness of donald trump or the possible madness of donald trump.st important to explain of the things donald trump says and does. after this break we'll be joined by psychiatrist lance dodis who will consider the mental health of the president of the united states beginning with donald trump had to say about adam schiff today. nald trump had to say about adam schiff today and a score of two under par is...?

else in the world describing donald trump, which brings us to the mattedness of donald trump or thedness. perhaps the most important of the things that donald trump says and does. after this break,ee will be joined by psychiatrist who will considerer the mental health of the president of the united states, beginning with what donald trump-to say about adam schiff today. hiff today when we were looking for a roommate, he wanted someone super quiet. yeah, and he wanted someone to help out with chores. so, we got jean-pierre. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with renters insurance. ♪ yeah, geico did make it easy to switch and save. ♪ oh no. there's a wall there now. that's too bad. visit geico.com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be. but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xelja

this is not about donald trump. it's about the preservation of the rule of law and fore swearing the crumbling of our system of checks and balances. >> as we see this case move into the judiciary committee we're going to see something again we've never seen before. here's the house intelligence committee supplying basically the first draft material of articles of impeachment that will be written by judiciary. this is an intersection we've never seen before. >> indeed, it's quite unusual. the first time as you said and it will be very interesting to see who the speaker chooses as the managers to present the case to the senate. i think i've heard the speaker say more than once that when benjamin franklin came out after the signing of the constitution he was asked do we have a monarchy or do we have a republic, and he said a republic if we can keep it. and what speaker pelosi is all about is keeping that republic. those are the stakes that are in front of us. >> mieke, what do you expect in terms of what ware going to

and this does not help beat donald trump.t muddies the water in terms of what the message is from the democrats. >> what do you think about that, senator? >> i don't agree. if they dare use richard trumpka in an ad for trump that will outrage labor, and in fact, this deal which pat toomey from the right has said is awful. for the first time it says, mexico, you have to allow workers to onnize and we, america, will enforce that. so, you know, i think because i was there so many years, 34 years you take an oath to do a job when you hold up your hand, and you've got to get something done, and nancy -- speaker pelosi did a genius job. she got everybody in the room from to left to right of her caucus. i just think it's brilliant, i really do. >> so i want to distinguish between two things. one is what senator boxer said, which i heard from a lot of democrats on capitol hill, which i think is a totally defensible argument. look, you look at the legislation. if you think it's a good deal, you vote for it. you don't do what mcconnell

this is nancy pelosi pulling a trump style power move on donald trump.hat she's doing, every day this sits the house being in recess, every day the president has to see these headlines and has to know there is an*on his presidency whether or not he gets reelected he will get angrier and look at this carefully laid out plan mitch mcconnell has gotten the senate that will most likely acquit him and start yelling about how he wants more, too boring, too narrow and once his, quote, total exoneration and the moment he starts demanding witnesses and documents is the moment nancy pelosi has won because that is what she wants in terms of new information in the senate. >> from the whole gop predict bipartisan acquittal at trump impeachment trial. the expectation democrats and conservative states like joe mansion of west virginia and i don't alabama will join with republicans? >> that is my expectation. i will be surprised if democrats unanimously voted in favor of removable is given the demographics of the state with those two senators, menchen, jones, senator ci

>> oh, donald is very, very upset.ppening to him, and he's not in control because remember this is someone who never had a board of directors, and the mental health professionals who wrote this book two years ago quite precisely and accurately predicted his behavior and they've now shifted a lot of their concern to public mental health, to warning people about how a lot of people are buying into donald trump's delusions and that's a real problem for the rest of society but it's one of the things donald keeps stoking because it helps him maintain some semblance of that he's an unlimited -- position of unlimited power, which he's not. >> there is an interesting trajectory of how the tweets have gone from negative to worse over the course of the past couple years. i believe we have a full screen of the "usa today" analysis of more than 8,200 of president trump's tweets, and it essentially shows that he goes from 2017, 14.9% of the words trump used in his tweets were negative. that number in december of 2019 has skyrockete

donald trump's candidate for governor did lose in kentucky and donald trump's candidate for governor lost in louisiana after he went to louisiana and said this. >> so you've got to give me a big win please, okay? okay? >> they didn't. republican candidates lost in republican states even with donald trump publicly begging for votes in those states. donald trump made those state-wide elections about himself, and it seems the voters responded in the spirit evoked by congressman elijah cummings. >> i'm hoping that all of us can get back to this democracy that we want and that we should be passing on our children so that they can do better than what we did. when we are dancing with the angels, the question will be asked in 2019 what do we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact? >> we are lucky to be leading off on an all-star panel tonight. we also have michelle goldberg, "the new york times" columnist and analyst and it's great to have a new york times quorum here. let me start with you and what we just heard from elijah cummings. when you watched trump go into those republican sta

adam schiff, wrapping up his comments as donald trump in michigan ata campaign comments as donald trumpan at a campaign rally started his comments before supporters. we have not seen a scene like this i am sure, the events unfolding on both sides of the country, a critical moment in american politics, the sobriety of capitol hill, the raucous notes of donald trump in michigan, both sides wanting to make their voices heard, both sides, very important moments. all in favour, say aye. oppose, no. speaker, madam speaker. ayes and nays have been voted. are requested. a sufficient number having risen, the yeas and nays are ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. this will be a 15— minute vote. 0k, ok, so there we have got the start of voting on the first article of impeachment agreeing to article one of the resolution, the article, the abuse of power, the members of congress are voting, and as president trump is speaking, as we said, in michigan, is already referenced, as i was listening to the two streams of audio coming in, i heard resident trump referencing what is h

donald trump's place in history is about to change. in all likelihood, he will be the president who was impeached, only the third it's ever happened to. proceedings began in the house of representatives five hours ago — the actual vote will take place later today. democrats are approaching today in a somber mood. they say the charges are serious, putting personal gain above american interests. if we do not act now we would be derelict in our duty. it is tragic that the president's reckless actions make impeachment necessary. he gave us no choice. the founders very concerned about a partisan impeachment in which politics of the majority who have their strength can do what they want to do it regardless of any facts. we are told donald trump is busy at his desk, but he is of course tweeting. tweeting in caps. this is the scene live in the house of representatives, the debate is ongoing, we will be dipping into it throughout the programme. hello and welcome, i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. it is impeachment d

president donald trump the johnsons want to resign ending victory in the u.k.'s latest general election u.s. politicians are paying very close attention to what happened and that's opened up a major debate amongst the democrats presidential candidate joe biden laves the liberal platform of johnson's main opponent jeremy corben for labor's defeat and he's warning his poncy against moving too far to the left ahead of the 2020 presidential election he and all those argue britain's election results should serve as a wake up call for their party. well let's take a closer look at some of the democratic front runners 1st up is joe biden after nearly 4 decades as a senator from delaware he served as vice president under former president barack obama he's also at the center of president trump's impeachment inquiry then there is elizabeth warren she served as a u.s. senator from massachusetts since 2013 she is a leader of the party's liberals and has proposed counseling up to 50000 dollars of student debt for millions of us citizens there's bernie sanders he was a u.s. re

donald trump, by the way, donald trump did no favors for john dingell.n dingell was the longest serving member of congress in american history. committed himself to working-class voters in a way that donald trump would never understand. actually did things for them. actually fought hard for union men and union women. donald trump talks about it, john dingell did it, and he just didn't do it on a lark, he did it his entire life. >> yeah. >> so what was said last night in michigan was beyond sick, willie. but, it's something that we've grown accustomed to, i guess. >> it's appalling and just bays it's donald trump doesn't mean we shouldn't pause and call it appalling. that's the most powerful man on the face of the earth. there's a grieving woman in debbie dingell whose pain she said last night was made much worse as she approaches the holidays without her husband of 38 years, john dingell. if we want to just limit it to the presidential campaign and the presidency we can kind of say that this started with the insult early on in 2015 of john mccain, senato

house democrats release their reports in the next chapter of the donald trump impeachment inquiry outlining claims the president to be used his position for personal political gain. nato leaders gather in the u.k. to celebrate the military alliance is the 70th anniversary but while some hail its success question its relevance today. we are we are proving every day that. this is our joy. even though. the u.s. president tries to force the hand of his french counterpart in support of the military alliance and if the threat of crippling tariffs on french goods doesn't get a manual to fall in line donald trump apparently has some other ideas. you . know for me in the team here at midnight here in moscow it's now 4 pm in washington d.c. that's where we're starting for you this hour democrats there on the house intelligence committee have published their report detailing how president trump allegedly abused his office for personal gain and solicited interference from ukraine in the 2020 election the release of the 300 page document which is based on testimony given in a series of closed door and p

impeaching donald trump. progressives are lamenting the democratic leadership to pile on more articles of impeachment. >> abuse of power is a little bit fuzzier sort of nebulous but this is a matter of strategy. i'm totally supportive of the chairman and the speaker if this is the way they want to go. >> no crimes, they are impeaching me and there are no crimes, this has to be a first in history. they are impeaching me because they want to win an election. >> trace gallagher is on the case for us tonight. >> with two articles of impeachment in the can some democrats in districts the president won in 2016 getting cold feet and floating the idea of censuring instead of impeachment, that list includes new jersey congressman's josh scotthi mayor and anthony brindisi, ben mc adams and oregon representative kurt schrader who said, quote, i think it is appropriate and might be a little more bipartisan, who knows? the idea would be to offer an option that might attract at least some republican support but for now the

right now there is a segment of the country that is totally on donald trump's side, or donald trump can do nothing wrong. there is a side of the country where democrats, among the democrats base, donald trump can do nothing right, and then there are swing voters and they are going to be the ones who end up deciding the election. what we sometimes forget is that elections are not decided by a national popular vote, they are decided by sometimes a few thousand voters in michigan and wisconsin. so what side do those voters take? do they think donald trump is crooked, and is that enough? even if they do think he is, is that enough to boot him out of office? we will have a democratic candidate at some point for president, and that will help answer that question. is the alternative that democrats end up producing in the nomination better than donald trump, whether or not voters personally like donald trump? host: what does it mean when you have, nationally, a base election, as one of the headlines alluded to, after impeachment? it is the base that turns out. what does it mean then -- you touc

to impeach donald trump before july this year. why is that important? july is the month when everything supposedly happened as far as the impeachment effort. they are not objective about it. they have been saying from the beginning they load him and everything about him and for that matter his supporters made clear, many democrats have spoken very candidly about that. they just want him out of town but that's not the way our constitutional republic is set up. you can't get rid the president just because you don't like and if you're a member of congress. they weapon iced impeachment and that is the problem. the founders warned us specifically you can't, you should never have a single party impeachment because it will divide the country and people will lose faith in their institutions and that is the problem right now. shannon: they are alleging abuse of power, production of congress, the world will be watching and we will as well. an important, monumental vote. thanks for stopping in. new tonight the third ranking house republican

trump and we see that even though president donald trump's up polling numbers simply have remained at around the 38 to 43 percent range this is still a president that many believe could get reelected and also even if you look at in pietschmann if you look at some of those key states that could control or could. determine the the outcome of the a coming election in those states president donald trump is still polling very well and being very competitive with his closest competitor namely president i mean former vice president joe biden in terms of the american voters right now polls are no where as early very early stage in the in the field is kind of crowded in terms of candidates but right now polls still a generic democrat if i can put it like that could be trump but how much does kind of saleability matter thomas gifts i mean it seems like around the world right now we do have some very big figures in politics and i want to stars that kind of i don't want to use the phrase likability is not quite the right word but how much does that matter. well i think that democratic voters are

donald trump doing pretty good so far.he taliban, michael was killed in an attack, taliban claimed responsibility, dignified transfer of his remains taking pl. christmas day. how does that impact peace talks? >> a very emotional topic. the will of the american people is to get out of endless wars. no politician has responded to that like donald trump but we are pretty much in the same ambiguous conflicts we have been in for two prior administrations and there is and a lot of explanation why we are there or what we are accomplishing. it is rhetoric, the idea we are, she intelligence or preventing attacks or in an endless war with no real strategy. when you look at peace talks, you can't expect the taliban to be an honest broker but at the same time can't keep doing what we have been doing because you are ignoring the will of the american people. looking for creative solutions and if this is part of that i want to have a chance to find out. mike: you paid a heavy price in afghanistan, your thoughts on honoring the fallen, th

so donald j.day in large part because he bought rudy's nonsense hook, line, and sinker. >> the president's wrath for those who he believes -- feels are using him is immediate, but there are different rules for those who are in the true inner circle. he trusts so few people that those who are actually in the circle have a lot of bandwidth in which they operate. you think about keith shiller, when the president decides to fire then fbi director james comey. he doesn't go through the chain of command, he asks his long time personal aide to go to the fbi and deliver the letter. during the campaign, he wasn't working through the campaign apparatus whether it was lewandowski or steve bannon or kellyanne conway, he was often working through michael cohen or froent friends on the outside to get things done. you see this with rudy giuliani the acceptance of so many different aspects of behavior, questionable behavior from mr. giuliani because the president believes he's an advocate, he's a loyalist. >> it'

if that is the reason it appears to be working. >> i just left donald trump. he is mad at health that they would do this to him and now deny him his day in court. the reason they are denying his date in court is they know their case sucks. >> the president tweeted tonight he wants and immediate trial. congress hitting home for christmas with no plans. >> totally unresolved, if the articles are never sent over, there is so much more but there he christmas. the top candidates in los angeles tonight is the smallest group of candidates on debate stage next sounding off on donald trump's impeachment and more. here are key moments from the 2020 contenders. >> reporter: the first question was about impeachment, three candidates, all senators and we could see a trial in the senate before the next debate. >> the president was impeached and every one who has taken a constitutional oath to uphold the constitution. >> we have a president running the most corrupt administration in modern history. >> donald trump thinks he should not be impeached he should be not scared to

if donald trump -- donald trump doesn't care about anyone but himself. he doesn't care about anyone's political fate but his own. he is done, he disposed of john bolton. if he thought john bolton could help him, he would demand he show up. mike pompeo is still in the fold. if he thought mike pompeo's testimony would benefit him this much, he would send him up there for round-the-clock testimony. >> the person that can help him the most is the senate majority leader. to maya's point, i'm agreeing with you -- >> get these lawyers together. >> prosecutors. chief justice roberts -- >> it's like -- >> i know. >> chief justice roberts is both the presiding judge and can be overruled like that by the senate. it's almost as if you had a baseball team in the field who decided they didn't like the umpire's call. was it a ball? we're going to take a vote. 9-0, we think it's a strike. >> what if four people from the other team say we want to will win as bad as they do, but we're not going to cheat. >> that can happen on individual issues. for instance, if they want

>> oh, donald is very, very upset. he's quite scared about what is happening to him. this is someone who never-a board of directors. the mental health professionals predicted his behavior and thavrl rr now shifted their concern to warning people about how a lot of people are buy nothing to donald trump's delusion. it helps him maintain a semblance of -- that he's in a position of unlimited power, which he's not. >> there's a trajectory of how they've gone from bad to worse. over 8,200 of trump's tweets. 14.9% of the words trump used were negative. that number in 2019 has sky rocketed up to 16%. the good ones have gone down as well. what do you think his twitter feed reveals about this man? >> it's showing that over time, because donald trump does not have the skills for the job, he's in way over his head, that he is becoming more and more desperate. and he's aware criticism has been growing, things he's done that have come under reasonable attack. remember, this is a man so delusional, he claims to be the greatest expert on 22 different subjects and yet every time he
