this week when the senate voted down both their articles of impeachment against donald trump their kratz had claimed abuse of power accusing trump of withholding military aid to pressure ukraine into probing supposed corruption by potential democrat rival joe biden the other charge was obstruction of congress with the president ordering white house aides to defy congressional subpoenas as democrats are refusing to accept the impeachment defeat although trump of course is jubilant did nothing wrong i've done things wrong in my life i will admit not purposely but i've done things wrong. but this is what the end result is thought was acquitted without us he was acquitted without a fair trial no matter what he says or whatever headline he wanted to carry around here impeached for ever well despite all the efforts to disrupt his writings are as high as ever the son of boyko discussed this with a russian pop star and trump's former business associate to who was once at the center of the russia gate scandal. i think his presidency has been unfair towards him because you know the press and the m

goes to your perspective it to say that all the republicans are blind political robots, but i jenna kratzne of them broke from their ranks. all of this is heavily laden with how you view these charges. it doesn't make much sense to say, romney voted his conscience to that a lot of the republicans didn't follow him. romney is to follow his conscience, that he still voted against article two. this gets rather i as the way people penetrate the meditations of other people. way to go from here? to go back to where we started. if anything this president has become more popular than we are going into an election. i have to say that the outcome the impact of this impeachment has yet to be written. i think particularly nancy pelosi ripping up of the state of union address last night, will not play well with a lot of voters. the democrats and they had overplayed their hand. jonathan thank you very much let's bring up the farmer adviser to george w. bush. you are a keen history of student of history. a person president has been set but we think it is the first time, that a member of the centre turn

there is a nuance with kentucky and louisiana, which is those estates all featured emma kratz -- democraticandidates who are well fit for the states. john bel edwards was a pro-life democrat with a famous name in louisiana. same thing with the governor of kentucky. if he went down ballot -- if you go down ballot, republicans win -- won the down ballot races pretty handily. you have to -- host: we have talked about the early stage -- iowa, south carolina nash move beyond that. the next big date would -- move it beyond that. the next big date would be super tuesday on march 3. what other dates are you watching? guest: there are a lot of things going on on super tuesday. if biden underperforms in south carolina, which has one of the most heavily african-american electorates, we will be looking at states like texas where there will be a substantial african-american electorate. if biden is underperforming, a state like texas could be in play for sanders. thatof the northern states were heavily sanders in 2016, but are no longer caucuses, we want to see how well bernie sanders can do in northern

but, he chose to focus his time on attacking kratz. -- democrats.o substance to the discussion about the coronavirus. it is time that we return to a president with a skill set. with the competency and who surrounds himself or herself with people with credentials, believes in science, and i just think that joe biden is the candidate to do it. host: now, as a biden supporter, do you think that south carolina is a must win state for joe biden and what happens if he does not win or, he only barely wins south carolina? does that mean he should step out of the race? win.: a win is a yes, it would be good if he has a significant win in south some point,cause at we need the moderates to coalesce the hind the most electable candidate. ,oming out of south carolina where south carolina has been a launching pad for many presidential candidates, the reasons are obvious. south carolina has a demographic more reflective of the democratic party and the nation. so, a south carolina victory could be really a game changer for the biden campaign. we are counting on a b

the way that it has worked in nevada, it is any system that am a kratz had to come up with over the lastn they had to tweak it a bit after the iowa debacle. but voters show up at caucus sites, they are open at various hours, any caucus site at their county. they fill out a paper ballot. they choose at least three candidates. they can choose up to five them.g those votes will be added to the in-person votes which will be cast today, and when people stand in their corners to express confidence for each candidate. host: do we know how many voters show up to vote early versus how many are expected to show up today in person? guest: we had 75,000 show up early. we don't know how many will show up today. the nevada democratic party has made a point of not making any predictions, because we don't have a lot of history here to see how this might go. conservatively, i would think maybe another 50,000. it depends on what the weather does, if people feel really engaged now. there is a lot of interest, but the higher early vote turnout was a sign that there is a lot year, so i in this would be surpr

embarrassing minutes we had there been a kratz will give a press conference to explain what happened if you have not been following it is quite extraordinary one. this was the big moment the official start of the presidential campaign it with both republicans and voting on who they prefer to you. if you have not been following it is quite extraordinary one. this was the big moment the official start of the presidential campaign it with both republicans and voting on who they prefer. republicans are nice and it 10% 97%. the democrats are more fiercely contested option. but now the was released because of the problems. the candidate. a dysfunctional system turning a blind to his crimes. payment is to because of the culture the nile and avoidance among staff. inquiry is recommending the case of more than 1000 other patients should now be at the excess. shanley reports. their lives have been changed forever by patterson when told they had cancer when they didn't underwent a needless operations. others were subjected to a surgical of this was important to me because without exaggeration,
