what do you make of it, mark steyn?well, the whole democrat theory of elections in the modern era, if you put together the rainbow coalition and bring them together they will out vote all of the racists on the republican side. their interests don't coincide. the rainbow coalition, you are trying to find a candidate who appeals to white liberals. democrats want somebody with an identity politics points but of a moderate character. that's how obama ran in 2008. >> tucker: candidates like this are not trying to appeal to black church goers in south carolina. >> no. >> tucker: they are trying to appeal to liberals like themselves. >> right. that's why he is surging. at 25% in iowa and he is at 0% in south carolina. where 60% of the electorate is black, he has less support than marianne williamson. i didn't know she was still in the race until they took this poll. what is the difference in iowa and south carolina? this "new york times" columnist wrote this long column says it's racist of white liberals to suggest the lack of

like this. >> tucker: we will get back to the president live, but first, a quick reaction from mark steynnding by. mark, what do you think?li >> well, i think you have to be pretty resilient to stand there and do impeachment shtick, and he is doing that because hes knows this is going down. for the democrats. he said the republicans are sticking together. i hope that is true, because i could see situations, if this thing ever went to the senate, where some virtue signaling nincompoop like mitt romney would actually vote to convict and remove him. but the president actually, in this circumstance, is standing there and saying, go on, bring it on, even if you did that, i still run this next november, and i'd win next november. and actually, he is inspirational to a fainthearted republican party. this is the way to do it. this is why people voted for him, because the base wants a candidate who pushes back. >> tucker: i'm starting to think he's going to win. i've gone back and forth, but it's starting to look that way, i think. mark steyn, thank you so much. >> they are not going to win becaus
