"Democrats also now have to move on and really deal with hard issues," Sharpton said on the network during special programming late Sunday. "I think the politics is that we're now going to have to start talking about tax reform and climate change and other things because the Mueller situation, I think, has ended up a clear victory for the president."

"A lot of Democrats haven't figured this out over the past couple of years," Scarborough also said. "They have been distracted by the Mueller investigation, but you have understood, and I think the smarter people in the Democratic Party have understood, that they were never going to win elections talking about Russia. They were never going to win elections talking about Robert Mueller."

"They're going to win elections talking about — and by the way, check the tape. This isn't Monday morning quarterbacking again. We have said it on the air together and you've said it and I've said it. It's health care that people are concerned about. It's wages that people are concerned about," Scarborough added.
