NBC's Katy Tur: Hillary Clinton Memoir A "Gift" To President Trump; "McConnell Not The Foil People Want Him To Go After"

|

'Meet The Press' host Chuck Todd and NBC's Katy Tur discuss the impact Hillary Clinton's new book might have on President Trump:

CHUCK TODD: Wow. Can't wait to hear what Donald-- how is Donald Trump going to handle, Katy Tur--

KATY TUR: "Crooked Hillary Clinton" is the first thing we're going to hear. Listen, Donald Trump always benefited whenever Hillary Clinton was in the news. When she was criticizing him he could use her as a foil. He doesn't have that good foil right now. Mitch McConnell is not the foil that people want him to be going after.

Hillary Clinton works because it's somebody that animates his base. Not only his base, it animates independents who held their nose and voted for him, animates soft Democrats. And it underscores, once again, that the Democrats don't have a unifying force that is leading them through this. They don't know where to go. So Hillary Clinton['s book] is certainly a gift.

CHUCK TODD: --sounds like her book's going to be very backward looking. And Democrats, they're going to get split on this. I want to read about it, at the same time, they do feel her pain.
