we also heard from john stokes. this is what he told me.ng london bridge with the bus and i was preparing the tourists on the bus to get their cameras out to get a photo of tower bridge from london bridge. as we were coming on to the bridge, the driver and i noticed two taxis on the left—hand side and someone lying on the pavement. and we just assumed that perhaps that person may have been accidentally knocked over or something. as we continued along the bridge at a slow pace, like we always do, we spotted another person lying on the pavement and we became a bit alarmed with that, and then a third person and we started to think, well, maybe it may have been a gang fight, because i know that area does have a few gangs. then when we saw a few more people lying down and people running up towards them and we were quite concerned and eventually, we had to stop the bus halfway across the bridge because the traffic had come to a stop. there were no police at the time we arrived. we are assuming it must have happened within two or three minutes pri

about racism they voted for obama event trump part of that is due to the great credit of john mccain to not stokethe fires and then to take the microphone away from though woman who said barack obama was really american. sole leadership matters. donald trump lead in one direction and consequence there is is a combination to stay faithful with the social justice issues and doing a better job to articulate these views and to call out the fact donald trump will not deliver with these voters to put enough trust in to him, he will not bring back their jobs or enact tax policies so that is a step number one to bring them back. >> i want to talk about the next up. zero democrats are at the disadvantage republicans have nine seats and with gerrymandering but given that the democratic base now seems to be so energized could that mid term pattern of democrats don't show up in the midterms are these people who are marching show up in 2018 and is it conceivable the democrats could take back that house?. >> i think so. there are enough with just enough districts that hillary one to swing the house. we have se

look them up part of that is due to the great credit of john mccain for not stoking the fires in 2008 and standing in a town hall and taking the microphone away from a woman who tried to say that barack obama really wasn't an american. so when leadership matters, donald trump led in a direction and it had consequences. in the end, i think the key for democrats is some combination of, one, staying faithful to and rallying our base, the social justice issues, two, doing a better job of articulating our positions on these issues, but, three, calling out the fact that donald trump will not deliver for these voters who did put some level of trust in him. he is not going to bring back their jobs. he is not going to really an act tax policy. and disinfecting them from trump is step one in bringing them back into our fold. >> ok, i want to talk about the next step, electoral 2018. democrats are at a disadvantage in the senate with 25 seats up to the republicans having nine. the house, the problem is gerrymandering, and the concentration of them across in urban districts. given that the democr

look, part of that is due too the great credit -- always be a hero of mine -- of john mccain for not stoking the fires in 2008, and in standing in a town hall and taking a fining mac crow phone away from a woman who tried to say that barack obama was not a muslim. and leadership matters and donald trump led in a direction and it had consequences. in the end i think the key for democrats is some combination of, one, staying faithful to and rallying our base, the social justice issues to doing a better job of articulating our views on these economic issues, but, three, call ought the fact that donald trump will not deliver for these voters who did put some level of trust in him, enough trust in him to elect him president. he's not going bring back their jobs. not going to enact tax policies and disaaffecting him from trump is step one in bringing them back to the fold. >> want to talk about the next step, 2018. democrats at disadvantage in the senate with 25 seats up to the republicans having nine. the house, the problem is gerrymandering, but the concentration of democrats in urban districts.

the democratic defeat stoked sharp discussions about how democrats can win in red states. republican karen handel beat first-time democratic candidate, john ossif, to win georgia's sixth district. president trump took a victory lap during a rally in iowa the day after the election. president trump: all we do is win, win, win. we won last night. i can't believe it. we're 5-0 in special elections. 5-0. robert: phil, how vulnerable -- it was the fourth special election -- excuse me -- for democrats last year. a small but vocal group of democrats in that party are suggesting the party needs new leadership at the top and are taking aim at minority leader nancy pelosi, the california lawmakers who remains defiant. >> we're paving the way for a new generation of leadership. i respect any opinion my members have but my decision about how long i stay is not up to them. robert: president trump couldn't resist the chance to show his support for pelosi. he tweeted "i certainly hope the democrats do not force nancy p out, that would be very bad for the republican party and please let crying chuck stay." phil, back to you. what is the state of the demo
