so if you were to have a liberal democrat they prefer that over a moderate democrat what are your thoughts? be like that is a really good question and it is hard to measure so if we don't see moderate running is it because they don't think they can write one -- they can win? or is it because they don't value a seat in congress because they don't value the seat like they used to? at the end of the day they don't run so we don't really know what is driving this. a lot of the members that i spoke with they don't admit they thought they might lose they said it wasn't a factor and i wasn't abused but high incumbent reelection mode -- reelection rates are consistent with members being reelected. however whether or not those who are as moderate as olympia snowe or the case here if they could get elected it would be an uphill battle that relatively moderate candidates i think certainly could win and there have been a handful of studies, apart from the general impression that people have in politics is distasteful in the undesirable situation. and it is the case relatively moderate candidates could

the liberal democrats were routed at the last election.at the last election. ijust don‘t know how much appetite there is in the uk for another referendum. what would it be about? the final say on the decision of the government. i think what this is saying is that it‘s the possibility of reversing that decision, and it‘s a very dangerous precedent to start setting, the moment you don‘t like the result of a democratic election, that you then have another one. on the front page of the independent but many others have theresa may, on her summer holiday with her husband, and she is going to be having a working meeting with emmanuel macron in the south of france. it‘s very important for her, isn‘t it, during this summary sets period, when she is not having to deal with politics at home, to try and build bridges in europe? no investors take long recesses. they continue working through. they are sick to death of british politicians not interacting around the world. it's not interacting around the world. it‘s time theresa may and every member of th

. >> yes, i'm a liberal democrat, and in fact, i think there is -- we're going to have -- if we ever voted in. we voted for him the first time, and we both believe in the death penalty for overcell phone use but other than that, we have no -- literally no position in common. none. abortion is just a suicide --

second — a liberal democrat won his party's nomination for the governorship while a hardline pro trumpdate won the republican spot. just how pro trump is ron de santis? take a look. everyone knows my husband ron de santis is endorsed by president trump. but he's also an amazing dad. ron loves playing with the kids. build the wall! he reads stories... then mr trump said, you're fired. i love that part. he is teaching madison to talk. make america great again. people say ron is all trump, but he is so much more. big league, so good. i just thought you should know.

there has been some talk about you potentially taking over from vince cable as leader of the liberal democratsno. i don't know where that rumour is coming from, but i have said it before and i will say it today, i have no intentions of going into official politics. why not? it would be too constraining for the voice i have, i believe. i think i can be more useful being independent as a campaigner and keeping a watching brief. that is where i feel most comfortable, being independent. what do you think of theresa may and how she has handled it? i think it is impossible to say. i mean, she was put in an impossible position. there are so many things i wish had been done differently. i wish there had been a cross—party committee that was negotiating brexit because this actually affects every single person in every single region and every single political persuasion. brexit will affect everyone. but that hasn't happened. and ijust would like mrs may and her government and actually all political leaders, to start coming clean with the british public. jean miller talking to us earlier this morning. ——

congressman molten, seth molten is somebody i was attracted to because he is a liberal democrat from massachusetts who did four tours in iraq as a marine and came back, ran an insurgent campaign against an incumbent democrat and has emerged as a very powerful voice, young voice in the democratic caucus, and what i find appealing about him is that he can speak the language of liberal democratic politics, but also because of his background in the military, the language of patriotism, loyalty, sacrifice, honor. these concepts that are very important to people on the right. and his book is really a call to national service and unity, respecting each other's differences. so i -- and it's a wonderful memoir also because he's had a really fascinating life. doug jones, the recently elected senator from alabama, is what we call a real get. the day after his election, we signed his book. now, i will say that the reason -- one of the main reasons that we signed his book is that it is not a conventional politician's memoir. it's a book that he's been working on for five or six years. and it is th
