The event here tonight he said utsa students ought to skip class tomorrow and tuesday if they need to to make sure they can do everything they can to get out the vote. theres no math for a regular democratic campaign to win in texas statewide just yet. demographics might change. orourke has to get a whole bunch of voters who have never voted before, who have never consistently come out in midterms to come to his cause or else this could be a short night in texas on tuesday. we dont know if that ...

Heres the big list, the big 66. sounds like an a.m. radio station. 66 republican held districts where we think democrats have the best chances of picking them off, picking off republican seats. you can see new york 19 is one of those, but again, for democrats, you think about the math here, there are very few places where democrats are at risk of losing seats. there are a couple of them, mainly there on offense. you know, not much more than a third of this list, if they win them, that could get ...

That barbed wire at the u.s. border can actually be a beautiful sight. now, as you mentioned, chuck, this state is almost evenly divided when it comes to both the senate race and the gubernatorial race, so folks here are counting on those endorsements, counting on that support from the president. well see more trump support headed this way today when rudy giuliani heads to campaign for governor scott. >> thanks very much. in florida its going to be what is the composition of the electorate. how ...

Shes talking about health care, and shes talking about, if i may, fix the damn roads, and thats what that race is about. >> were going to take a quick break. coming up, were going to the battleground of ohio. that is where president trump will be stumping for republicans today, and its also where my friend hallie jackson will be live all hour hosting her show from cleveland. and it is not just a record number of women running for office. listen to this. more than 450 candidates with background...

Out sort of what they can do with this. how do they turn this enthusiasm in places like austin, in places like san antonio where i am right now into an actual voting advantage. and really today in austin was the first time that i heard orourke make a very explicit call to action from his supporters. heres what he told the crowd in austin this afternoon. >> over the next 54 hours, im asking you to give me every waking moment of your life. if you really want to win this, given whats at stake, give...

Texas. weve asked orourke repeatedly on the campaign trail over the last few weeks about the polls out there that have consistently shown him behind ted cruz. republicans believe the math is simply on their side, that there are far more conservative voters in texas that will turn out for ted cruz, but beto orourke is banking on the simple idea that the polls are not capturing the support and the enthusiasm that his team has been able to generate over the course of the last year and a half. theyv...

Election experts did the math. >> donald trump won the state by less than 1 percentage point. it was about 23,000 votes. from ken mayers study, we know that there were tens of thousands of people in these two big counties and probably more in the rest of the state who were deterred from voting because of the i.d. requirement. the vast majority would have been democratic voters. i think its not hard to see that the i.d. requirement probably had enough of a depressive effect. >> she fought very ha...

Agree on is that there should be a whole series of regional party conferences this is all about listening more to the party grassroots something many felt that america has lost touch with recently and thats something these three lead candidates will most likely have to face to go into those regions introduce themselves and make the case that they can be both the new leader to reposition the seaview in the middle and for it to rediscover its conservative roots something many here long for you men...

>> reporter: well, its real, chuck, but make no mistake here, the math still favors ted cruz. hes led in every public poll of this state and texans havent elected a democrat to any statewide office since 1994. but there has been real momentum around the orourke campaign, especially over the last couple of weeks. hes been drawing these big diverse crowds all over the state, places democrats dont normally go. hes built the get out the vote campaign from scratch. ive heard a lot of people compare t...

Ready to get started right now in a rock club here in san antonio. orourke has become a rock star on the left. hes raised more money than any other senate candidate in history and hes been spending knit large part traveling around the state, putting together a get out the vote machine that they hope can finally give texas democrats something theyve wanted for more than 20 years, which is a foothold in state-level politics. no democrat in the state of texas has been elected to any statewide posit...
