Exploring issues that affect leaders in the U. S. And around the globe. Win and sort of a good win is sometimes 10,000 votes. I want to put something up here. In 2006, 14 seats that democrats picked up were decided by 10,000 votes or less. In 2010, 16 seats that the republicans picked up were decided by 10,000 votes or less. So you only need a slice of those republican voters, suburban voters that they need to get chicken there when it comes to pelosi. Nancy pelosi is an easy target and its easy when youre campaigning as a nominee or candidate to say you would vote against nancy pelosi. When you get to d. C. And talk to nancy pelosi and talk to the people around the congress and realize that shes usually one of the only women in these highlevel meetings, you realize that as the Democratic Party talks about wanting diversity, she is part of that diversity. Of course shes in a tough place because there are so many democratic sources who say theyre eager for fresh blood. Youre looking at
the opportunities. that s not the case he s making. to me, in someways, democrats might want to be glad he s stepping on this badly. he s making the case against the leaders of those no. here is the bottom line. here is the bottom line. this is exhausting and people will get tired of it every day dividing the country for when? i say what i think that s the gamble. they may not. it may be that people walk into the polling place just enough who like things that he s done but say, you know what? i don t think we can do this for four more years. that is my greatest fear. this president i believe given this economy and all the other things he s done should be winning and shouldn t even be a close race so that s my biggest fear. why isn t he running on those? he s running on the things that van is talking about. he s running on racial grievance politics and identity politics
when? i say what i think that s the gamble. they may not. it may be that people walk into the polling place just enough who like things that he s done but say, you know what? i don t think we can do this for four more years. that is my greatest fear. this president i believe given this economy and all the other things he s done should be winning and shouldn t even be a close race so that s my biggest fear. why isn t he running on those? he s running on the things that van is talking about. he s running on racial grievance politics and identity politics and we ve seen this. i mean, you know, a for effort he s really trying to appeal to african americans. i don t think you appeal to african americans by calling africa, you know, african countries s-hole countries and calling neighborhoods where african americans live and like elijah cummings assure their problems but instead of saying listen, baltimore is set by some of the same problems you see in
able to say plainly what this president is saying is racially derogatory, possibly racist. i think you ve heard a lot of those voices from the cbc but not the leadership. also maxine waters and several members of the congressional black caucus who have gone harsh against president trump have not enjoyed the support of the leadership. so you have the cbc saying we deliver you votes in no other way the constituency does but you re not listening to our concerns. i know those are tense meetings when it s just the members talking about how the party is structured. they re very structured. hakeem jeffries is a charismatic guy and he s a sleeper candidate so i could see him going for this. and then there s tim ryan, which would go in the exact opposite direction. isn t he running for president? that s what i said. but, you know, that s the type of candidates i ve heard. but hakeem jeffries, i ve been continue to be told he has real standing inside that conference. the secret sauce of
he lacked the foot soldiers. and locals ofs offices that his opponents had spent months and even years cultivating. we were wondering why wasn t he buying ads? why isn t he running a traditional campaign? because he has no money. trump s campaign threw out the old playbook and turned to a more powerful way to turn out the vote big data. jared kushner oversaw that part of the operation. he treated trump like an ecommerce company, like a consumer tech company. trump s digital team bet big on one simple idea. you can now target your message to a smaller group of people and have that message be more impactful. i understood early that facebook is how donald trump was going to win. twitter is how he talked to the people. facebook was going to be how he won. trump campaign digital director brad parskell led the
