let's bring in david drucker, senior political correspondent for "the washington examiner" and kris wilson, republican pollster who worked for the state gop in texas, also worked on senator ted cruz's 2016 campaign. mr. wilson, i'll start with you in the studio. it would seem as if republicans have found their foil in this particular story, the whistle-blower. we heard the president at the rally last night. i also was struck by what we heard from senator rand paul as well. take a listen to what senator paul said. >> hunter biden made $50,000 a month. that's the definition of corruption. we know he got it only because of his family connections. we also now know the name of the whistle-blower. i say tonight to the media, do your job and print his name! >> someone who worked on crafting and message. is that the best rallying cry going forward for republicans? >> i think it depends. it's sort of a cognitive dissonance, so to speak. there are a reason whistle-blowers are protected, but it's not as if you can go out and make charges without being able to address -- face charges without being abl

also with us, david drucker, and a contributing writer to "vanity fair's" the hive.rday were the looks ambassador taylor gave his republican questioners. even with that, is the needle in a different place than it was before the testimony yesterday? >> none of us know. and none of us know where it's going to be in a week or two weeks. so i think what's important is to focus on what the facts are and really the lack of a republican factual response in any sense. exactly as you say, we now have a phone call where the president's own voice is heard by one, and now we have learned two, witnesses. and those people are going to testify, in addition to ambassador sondland. so i think the noose is tightening. the number of facts that are tying trump to these other actions, to these other conversations, is closing in. and of course, as the democrats rightly say, they can't be faulted for not bringing forth mulvaney or bringing forth any of the other close witnesses because these people are refusing to appear at the direction of the white house. and that goes to what i think is

david drucker's a senior political correspondent for "the washington examiner." he's got new reporting on what that strategy is going to look like. david, thank you for being with us. tell me what the options were to start with and what that strategy could look like. >> well, look, i think we have to understand what's possible technically but what's actually possible politically, right? so, technically, if senate republicans can cobble together 51 votes, they can do almost anything with a senate impeachment trial, as long as they at least call it to order. that would include moving for an early dismissal without much of a trial at all. there are not going to be 51 votes for that, and what the white house was telling some key republicans yesterday from the senate is that they're okay with that, and at the very least, the signal was the president's not going to hammer them over the head for a quick dismissal, that they, in fact, see some benefits to holding a trial where they can lay out some of the facts and have senate republicans who control the chamber help the

that's a big ask of course. >> david drucker, the republicans as they prepare for open hearings todaytrategy? >> well, look, what they have tried to do over the course of the past several weeks is basically accept the premise that the president did a lot of what democrats are saying he did, but say that it's not a problem, that the president did nothing wrong. this is flowing i think directly from the president. i was able to sper view him with my colleagues about two weeks ago, and he said look, look at the transcript of the call. these are the things that i did. there's nothing wrong with it. and as we were discussing with him how he felt about being the first president to have been impeached to run for re-election, he looked at us, and he said, look, president clinton was guilty. richard nixon was guilty, even andrew johnson in his trumpian way, i wasn't around back then, i hear he did some bad things but i do nothing wrong. having said all of that and understanding the challenges that republicans have in making a case given that we have so much testimony and we have the summary tr

. >> washington post in the segment we were talking about with david drucker. this, philip, about the impeachment fight. it's a question i had in the last hour to some of our guests as well and whether or not your reporting corroborates this. does the president want to be acquitted by the senate? does he benefit being acquitted by the senate in a 2020 political fight in the same way he saw himself being exonerated by the mueller report? >> he certainly could benefit from that. if his options are being acquitted or convicted, clearly, he would prefer to be acquitted by the senate. he doesn't want to be impeached. he feels like that's a dirty word, as he himself has described it. it's very clear that that's the direction that the house democrats are going and they do control the house. it's likely at this point that he will be impeached by the house. the question becomes, what happens in the senate? if the senate acquits trump, especially if fewer than 50 -- if only a minority of senators vote to convict him, that would be a real talking point for him to use in h
