the panel is back, zerlina maxwell, susan del percio, philip bump.what's happening in texas, i'm finding totally fascinating. because you just assume, texas wash, it's going to be republican no matter what. in 2016, there were some moments when hillary clinton's camp thought, right, maybe there were some openings in texas. >> certainly. >> there was certainly less enthusiasm for trump there than was expected. >> right. >> ted cruz was running after him hard, calling him a sniveling coward and a pathological liar. but now ted cruz is -- he needs the president. it is -- it is one of the purest examples of political opportunism, i think, there is out there. >> yeah, but it's not surprising that it's related to ted cruz, when we're talking about opportunism. and i think that it has to go to the demographics that are changing, not just in texas, but around the country. and some of the specific policies that this administration has put forward that impact communities of color and communities on the border, that you may not necessarily need to be undocument

joining me now are es ted hernan, bassis michael here in new york along with susan del percio.t give us a sense here the degree to which the president is consumed by this. we've seen some tweets about what's been going on in the carolinas, but over these last few days there have been numerous tweets about this study and about that one-year anniversary. >> yeah. it started because democrats and other independent observers, journalists have been making the point that as these new round of hurricanes roll through the mainland united states, it's coming up on one year of what was a very deadly hurricane in puerto rico that had questions over the government response there. there was accusations from local officials on the ground, even some of the members of congress that said president trump's response to the crisis in puerto rico wasn't adequate. as that year anniversary has rolled around and more questions have been asked about how many people did diaze as a result of that hurricane and the aftermath, we have two things. that study that you mentioned that pinned the number at almo
