Months time. given all of that, what import do you assign to this race? what will it tell you about the midterms that are just 90 days away. >> i do think that every district is different and i think that every candidate matters. so it really does make a difference when you have two good options as a voter. and that makes things competitive. but also the president and the republicans in congress have been consistently sticking to their base. they are only -- their strategy is double down, triple...

Years that would increase the nations debt by 1$1.4 trillion you would be opposed to that. this is classic washington math. the first part everyone agrees is not real. thats a math issue. the other trillion is if you decrease taxes and people are table to keep more money and businesses pay less, can they buy more machinery and pay more people? can they hire more people and can individuals that make more and pay less taxes, will they save or spend more? all those things are yes. if more people ma...

Would be different. >> jenna: its not a philosophical issue, its not that you hate donald trump. its a math issue? >> its math, and we do have a problem with the tax increase on american taxpayers. >> jenna: looking at tax reform reminds me of covering the financial crisis. people didnt like the truth when it came to the financial crisis, which is that everybody shared the blame. when it comes to tax reform, i wonder if this is something similar. everyone says they want to change tax reform, and...

Women that much more difficult. that line certainly wont go over well, again, his base may like it but clearly, hillary clinton was in her role as sort of the aggressor onstage last night getting under his skin a little bit. >> david, as we sit here 19 days before election day, theres a math issue, a simple issue of math. donald trump went into this debate trailing by eight points in the cnn poll of polls. after the debate, the cnn/orc poll found that he lost the debate to hillary clinton. so ho...

Idea of going out and bringing in more voters. when you look at john kasich in ohio and chris christie in new jersey, greg abbott in texas, corey gardner, those people go out and embrace those places where they show you can be successful. every one of those candidates in their own way are talking about that type of growth in our party that needs to occur. but some of them have different tactics to occur. but everyone gets it. at the end of the day it is a math issue. we need more voters to come ...

Investing in kenya is 5% or 10% going to some place that doesnt have to do with the project. its a math issue. if they have a plan for a business its got a certain profit. if suddenly some of thats taken off the top due to corruption that makes that investment less attractive. thats the judgments they make. and then at a more grassroots level, if youve got some small business person trying to open up a store and they find they have to pay bribes here there, everywhere just to get a business star...

Have to do with the project. its a math issue. >> also today, the president was the subject of a rather disturbing tweet. i would like to share with you what was said on the tweet. it came from irans supreme leader. he was referencing a suggestion, by president obama. if it came down to it and the u.s. had to make military action against irans military it could take care of business. in response to that the ayatollah sent out a tweet saying we welcome no war nor do we initiate a war. if any war ...

Families and family unity, kinds of issues that you would -- he framed it in a way that you could imagine appealing to conservatives. and he pretty much got booed by the republican primary debate audience when he tried that. but it seems that the mccains of the world were watching that and realized that if this election goes the other way theyre obviously going to have to find their way back to where you know, john mccain used to be. >> there is no doubt between 2007 and 2012, just recently as n...

Lily is agreeing with everything you just said. >> theres two points i want to make. we cant be complacent with where we are with women. the u.s. ranks 78th in the world in female representation and in public office. so thats embarrassing. being a super power that we are, were ranking 74th. when it comes to the gop or democrats alike, theres a math issue on both sides. so i want to be a little bit fair because the gop does have latino and women representation as governors that gets used as a num...
