As many problems as weve seen in florida. people ive talked to says that it is mass incompetence. and it is really tough to see how people can have faith that their votes are being counted and cared for. so this is the exact situation where the president can come in and really stir up a lot of conspiracy theories and other fear about the election system to try to discredit this. and it is really dangerous. >> and michael, it does seem that basically obviously the two parties will look at this an...

Time for the lid. weve talked about the senate races. but we still have 11 uncalled house races. five in california and six more spread around the country. all 11 seats are currently held by republicans. and democrats are leading in 5 of those 11. frankly, i think five is sort of the floor of what they win here. they could get up to seven when you look at those districts. panel is back. michael, at 35 seats, with a popular vote spread in the house of close to seven points now, that is bigger tha...

Now that the midterm elections are officially behind us, dont throw your remotes at the television, but the 2020 white house race has begun. president trump has already announced he is running for re-election, but some key states in the midwest and the east coast that helped him to victory in 2016 ended up going for democrats last night. were really watching victories the dems took home in seven of the eight governor and senate races in wisconsin, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, all states donald ...
