Page 4 - Fatigue Factor News Today

Its way up and caused damage. but you mentioned this fatigue factor. its been days theyve been expected to feel this impact of the storm. these early morning hours were finally starting to feel wind gusts that for right now, rosemary, more annoying than they are uncomfortable. but residents here sort of let their guard down as soon as they saw the track of this storm shift from making a direct impact on coastal florida to gripeding up the coast and the conversations that we had yesterday on the ...

Congresss job is, in fact, to check the president. that is a fundamental job of the congress written into the constitution, yes, they should be overseeing the president, overseeing the government. but yeah, they also can move infrastructure and yes, they can also reform health care. its not -- theyre not opposite things. >> im with you. so to that exact point, what cornell is talking about is our elected officials putting country first. but do you believe that president trump can actually work w...

Votes all over again, thats whats going to happen here in the senate race. we knew the races were going to be extremely close. obviously gillums race was close, not close enough for an automatic recount. i think democrats today, as they are in a lot of places are feeling a bit defeated, a bit let down by the results of what happened in florida. we saw polls leading up to yesterday suggesting that democrats had opened a narrow lead, both gillum and nelson in their races seemed like they were pull...

Well that trumps base doesnt necessarily reflect the country as large. and i think women are kind of the way to make those inroads. a majority of americans voted for hillary clinton. that majority last night, plus others who were moderate republicans, who were independents, came out big last night and said this is -- they looked at donald trump and they said this is not the country that we want. >> john, when president trump won we often heard that there is a rise of the fear of the country grow...

The reasons he won the presidency. in florida, this is not the national story that emerged, but there are some places on the map. florida is one of them, ohio looks like another, there are some ores as well where those lines of division from 2016 really did reassert themselves last night. florida is a classic example. the path that scott took last night and the path in the governors race a lot like 2016 in florida. >> before we go to commercial, you are my in-house floridian. whats your take? i ...

Younger faces in government come 2019 and a lot of them, im proud to say, are going to be the faces of women. as of right now the number of women who have won elections or reelections to congress is at at least 110. thats a new record. but even at this hour theres still a number of very important races yet to be decided. among them the florida senate race, considered too close to call with the republican rick scott leading the incumbent. democrat bill nelson, by less than half a percentage point...

Majority of the vote, the plurality of the vote and we awe an increase on that yesterday, 7.5% more people voted for democrats than voted for republicans nationally, then they increase a little bit more with votes coming in late in california. at the end of the day the republicans have put themselves in a box canyon. how many more times can they run inside straight and win based on the back of old white guys? this is not -- this is not the 1950s. eisenhower is not running around. weve got to div...

Came close than democrats have in a long time. last night in the exit polls democrats won white college voters. thats a monumental shift, its our diversity, but also groups of white voters uncomfortable with trump, trump is shrinking the republican party. democrats won 44% of the white vote last night. nationally. barack obama only won 38%. so from a national standpoint trump really is shrinking the party. and that shrink is coming primarily from better educated women which is why i think you se...

The counties outside the major cities. but when you dig into the numbers, beto orourke had some coat tails. a lot of democrats i talked to think of him as a rising star. lizzie fletcher winning in the houston suburbs. if you want to get into the weeds, beto orourke blew out the numbers in harris county. he did better than hillary clinton in houston, texas. a bunch of down ballot candidates won there. all those congressional races around houston ended up being super tight. democrats feel like all...

Like the divisiveness. >> if democrats can get pragmatic, charlie sikes, i ask you, will they gain ground in regaining white men? >> well, thats going to be one of the really tricky questions. i will say that, you know, this is a time for democrats to go back to the drawing board a little bit and recognize that moving hard left is not the way necessarily to win these elections. you know, weve been focusing a lot on the florida. look, really surprised that florida, which has a zero income tax, wo...
