Description

Wednesday was the worst day of Trump's life. But does impeachment help the Democratic candidates? Harold Meyerson doesn't think so -- he's editor at large of the American Prospect.
Also, our segment that has nothing to do with Trump: Thousands of Muslim women left their homes in the US and Europe to travel to Syria to join ISIS, the Islamic State, especially after it declared a Caliphate in 2013. Many of them were educated and successful – Why did they do it? Azadeh Moaveni wanted to find out—she spent years interviewing former ISIS women in camps in Turkey and Kurdistan. Her book is "“Guest House for Young Widows: Among the Women of ISIS.”
