Of his first 100 days? >> well, i think you just said it. the first 100 days is literally going to decide if those folks who took a chance on donald trump will be pulling approximate lever again for him in 2020. lets be clear. this president, unlike any president ever before is a tv reality president. whereas most presidents would run, the media actually makes him stronger, the more he can touch the american people the more people want to tune into donald trump. >> to that point, i think issue f...

Democratic house seats. at the moment, what do you forecast. you are saying the president basically starting some say a campaign for 2020 with this rally. but others pointing towards the mid-terms. >> the senate map is friendly to the gop in 2018. a lot of democrats are up for reelection. 10 in states that trump won. five of them by double digits. joe manchin in west virginia. claire mccaskill. republicans will be targeting red state democrats. unless they support his -- his agenda, he will go a...

>> neil: you think that is in perilland? you think that can be delayed because of this so now were in the mid-terms and its off -- >> you know, i think the problem right now is hes been caught up obviously in a lot of executive orders. hes issued about 26 executive orders. a lot of those are frankly just glorified press releases. no president can operate by executive order. he has to forward to the congress, the proposal of the administration on how hes going to reform the tax system. that ought...

Once you pass a piece of legislation even as big as tax, it will take time to filter through to get entrepreneurs the energy and confidence to go out there. so i think that they are running up against a clock frankly, which is the mid-term elections. if theres not economic growth by then from what president trump inherited, it will be an issue in the mid-terms. >> neil: dont forget ronald reagan. he was looking like a one-termer because it took awhile for the tax cutting bang back then. and he h...

Compliment? implement? to what end? >> i mean, again, i think when were talking about democratic office holders, were talking about both in the democratic party, so it clearly is a party that speaks to real change, economic, racial, environmental justice. and then secondly, you know, to say to republicans, is this really the kind of country you want to have? because electorally, we are very active, whether its the working families party or our revolution, our goals are largely electoral. we beli...

Any previous president during his stay in the white house. >> were lost big in the 1982 mid-terms, but everybody was blaming the bad economy on the tax cuts and spending reduction. >> i remember thinking okay, the bubble burst. when a president sinks like that and i had seen it with jimmy carter, you dont come back. i did believe that. he is not going to come back. per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand. so you get more "life" per roll....

Within the trump administration that -- >> well, republicans -- >> and that maybe he cant -- >> yes, but that then reflects its in two ways, the republicans control congress and the white house. >> the mid-terms will be really tough. >> so in the next two years its going to be very hard to democrats to stop most things with the exception of potentially the supreme court nominee. but that is different than the movement in the streets. and i want to say as a democrat, that rebellion, at least the ...

Equality. and we got screwed. its time to show up. mid-terms are in two years. if these guys think that they can eviscerate the government as it represents the people, like watch out for the next election, bros, its not going to work. hes our president, but honestly, our democracy is strong. we can survive any president. but what we have an opportunity to do, is to speak out. and to be heard. and to talk about what we want for this country. and to ask our representatives to fight for us. >> its ...

The white house and both houses of congress, if they dont get some things done there will be a payback, i would imagine, at the mid-terms. >> absolutely. the math right now looks favorable to the republicans in the senate seats. i have to say its very critical that the republicans, especially on the obamacare replacement, that they get it right. the political consequences could be severe. weve seen this in the past where presidents have come in, have done well, probably that first year but maybe...
