Mclaughlin. we are going to go through this, because there are a few that the trump campaign is really going to be keeping an eye on. were going to start with cory booker. this surprised me, actually, they really think hes going to get some headway? >> because you want to do your homework. no matter who the candidate is, youre well prepared for it. cory booker is a guy whos created a sensation. personally, im with you. i think hes a lightweight, i think hes been inconsistent -- jedediah: but he ...

Chooses its back. it could get down to progressives that more moderates. >> right, dual fight the democrats are fighting here. they have to look at the primary electorate which is overwhelmingly progressive than much of the media and the donor base that exists in that space and they also have to win back states like wisconsin and pennsylvania, florida and try to make north carolina a competitive state. these are not necessarily places or calls for medicare for all or enforcement of the border is...

Elizabeth warren hurt them in that she talked about corporate money and no super pacs. these are two northeast senators in booker and gillibrand and theyre donor base is made up of them. so i wonder how it is really going to effect them when we see the campaign filings after the first three months, where the money is coming from. >> and if this gets more crowded. everybody is watching joe biden and beto orourke. >> and it would hurt joe biden because one of the things hes been able to say is i c...

Booker and beto orourke. their 15-year-old granddaughter falls asleep watching beto orourke giving speeches. its going to be a matter of -- >> same. >> can any of these candidates who are on fire right now sustain, remain the front-runner for a full 12 months. how do all these senate candidates, a similar donor base, sustain that. can anyone win iowa with under $20 million? maybe someone riding a crest of excitement right now. but i also heard surprisingly from several democratic activists who i...

>> lets get into the politics and strategy of this. shes putting target on her back by announcing this early. >> she is. i do agree with donor base and getting early support and staff is really important especially because california moved their primary to march. big state. incredibly diverse state. do you think that will make the candidate, whoever is chosen, more progressive in years past? >> this is what im not sure about. when i look at the 2018 midterms i look at the age and ethnic and ideo...

Voters, but also that we make sure that were taking care of our base. >> david jolly, lets talk about someone that donna just mentioned there. beto orourke. one of the most popular democrats nationally right now. theres a "politico" headline, beto orourke blows up the 2020 democratic primary. beyond the excitement he created in the midterms, its about money. "politico" reporting that quite a bit in the coffers, about 10 million left, are those numbers just as important? >> theyre very important,...

Donor base, as we saw in the tax bill. i think investing in human capital is just as important as corporate capital. the party kind of gets away from that. parkland was a turning point for me. i believe on your network, that night, i said to voters, if gun control is the issue that defines your ied i dont imagdee for the democrats. because the republicans will do nothing. universal comprehensive ba background checks and greater restrictions on assault weapons. weve been by republicans for decade...

Unwilling to jump in here? >> on the republican side, its very unusual cycle. weve had a nominee who said im going to sell fun and he did pretty much through the primary and a lot else from small donors. by the time he turned around to the donor base and help me in the general, a lot were sitting on their wallets and you saw them for the inauguration and since then raised money i think something like a billion dollars raised in the cycle. no one is short of money. the question is, are they spend...

We do peer texts where we are texting messages. get your absentee ballot and make sure you turn out. talk to your neighbors. this digital campaign using the rnc data and what we are gaining from the president with his huge donor base of 175,000 new small online donors in 2018 alone is helping propel our voters to the ballot box. and let me just say we are seeing 2016 turnout across the country and republicans are matching the democrat energy. thats very good news. we need to sustain that through...
