Something, noting that youre just back from america, returning to new york. blue wave in a nutshell. democrats are doing really, really well anywhere thats within like a 20-minute drive from a whole foods market. dave wasserman, for folks who dont know his name, may be the foremost authority on house visits this year. this has become kind of axiomatic out in america. >> and its true. because you look at the districts where the republicans are in the biggest trouble. its these affluent, educated ...

Axiomatic out in america. >> and its true. because you look at the districts where the republicans are in the biggest trouble. its these affluent, educated suburbs where there are whole foods. and theyre places where they still have a fighting chance, although in talking to republicans over the last 48 hours, they are getting more and more nervous about the districts that are redder that dont have whole foods. you see these realignments with the electoral here where gerrymandering is the only th...

It has blinkered them in the past. these are conversations i have had with women around the country in the past few weeks who i dont think would have had these kinds of conversations three years ago, five years ago. >> you know, that point is really interesting because ive been watching interviews with some of the women who are sort of doing this volunteering, particularly in places like orange county or suburban virginia where you have a volunteer base that is largely white, relatively affluent...

Mcsally down. it has changed in the course of she sang the national anthem and now shes up 2 points. this is basically a dead heat. this is a nail biter. this is one of the biggest nail biters for me. >> she sang the anthem, sinema flipped the coin. i wonder in terms of health care, mcsally has not been honest about what her health care is, how she voted before. thats disappointing. i want to talk about your race, christine, my home stage of new jersey, and pennsylvania, what matters to you. >> ...

Mentioning the trump administration or the president by name, he said, i believe in fact-based campaigns. >> right. and i do think, actually, health care is the sleeper issue of this election. the democrats do very well, it will be because not only of a referendum on president trump, whose supremely unpopular with a lot of -- majority of voters, but really because of health care. so, so fascinating to watch health care be on the ballot in 2010, be on the ballot in 2014, his party takes a beating...

Strategist kevin madden and maria cardona. will this strategy be good for republicans? the spaghetti on the wall. see what sticks strategy. something for everyone. >> they have the trumpy districts where you need the ardent base supporters and a reason to do that, but the non-stop attack on immigration and using the caravan is a backdrop for that conversation. its going to generate a lot of attention in those districts and maybe get those voters out but the backlash, the big risk is where i thin...

All the head winds for republicans is there. this is the first ive heard of that kind of level of excitement and commitment. and intent from young people. if that is going to be true, in large number enough numbers, it is a blue wave. typically in midterms as president obama learned in 2010 and 2014, the democratic coalition doesnt turn out. the voters are older. theyre more conservative. theyre whiter. theyre more affluent. the only hope i think the democrats really have is the college educated...

She is a third generation military veteran. is that a characteristic you see repeated throughout the veterans? that they have a history of family service? >> we do. sometimes not always military service. chrissy houlahan was not only in the military, but she was a teacher. just inspired americans who are doing this for the right reasons, but face such barriers because of the crazy cost. when i was in the marine corps, i wasnt connected to the political class or affluent americans. unfortunately,...
