0:00.0 | Now it's time for the last word with the aforementioned. |
0:02.8 | Lawrence O'Donnell. |
0:03.4 | Good evening, Lawrence. |
0:04.6 | Good evening, Rachel. |
0:05.6 | And I listened to your discussion of what you think is coming, given how badly things are going for Donald Trump. |
0:13.5 | You actually expect it to get a bit worse for us. |
0:19.2 | In pre-Trump politics, when someone gets the kind of polling Donald |
0:24.7 | Trump gets, that always dictated a course correction over toward what the polls were indicating |
