indiana and doug jones, who won his seat not exactly endangered democrat but won his seat against roy moore, he was apparently also invited. all have turned down the white house. it appears to be a fairly partisan affair inside the east room. we expect something along the lines of 30 or so republican lawmakers in the east room of the white house when the president announces his pick. whoever the president picks, anderson, this is going to be a very big knife fight up on capitol hill. obviously the president, because of the names that have been brought to his attention, are all bitterly and adamantly opposed to row versus wade, the expectation is that much of the fight that will take place in the coming weeks will center on that issue as the president and the white house fights for this pick up on capitol hill, anderson. >> jim, thanks. we have a team of political and legal pros. jake tapper joins us, dana bash, jeffrey toobin and david axelrod. jake, on just the politics of this, no matter which of the four or any others are picked, the battle lines are drawn. >> they are. really the focus

>> when you look at alabama, those were circumstances with the roy moore situation and pennsylvania,el between the argument he made at the argument cortez is making. it shows an intellectual vacuum on the left because joe crowley was willing to repeat the same boilerplate talking points we hear from democrats all the time. instead cortez actually advanced a certain set of issues, not just sticking to an anti-trump shtick. this is alarming for democrats because while her very issue focused agenda works on the east coast, the question is whether or not it suffocates in the midwest and other states that are much more red and much more focused on the economy. kansas, difficult to organize a proletariat there when the economy is booming and unemployment is at 3.4%, well below the national average. eboni: how do you see claire mccaskill on embracing a running away from cortez? >> she is running away as quickly as possible. already state democrats have to be worried about this. joe manchin or joe donnelly in indiana are guys who their entire argument is they are middle-of-the-road democrats
