I dont know. im worried. >> its an interesting position. now issue dont know if this hays anything to do with kanye west to roll it back -- >> i didnt think of kanye. youre right. >> he is behind everything that is going on outside our doors these days help has control. heres the thing. 2018 is already coming up on us. sound crazy but those are the mid-term elects and the republicans dont have a huge lead in congress here so you have to really come out of the gate, guns ablazing to get this stuf...

Isis, which we all want. so if he doesnt have that, come 2018, mid terms and then come 2019, democrats say well wait two years and well have a president of our own. >> come back in a year. well see what he has to be thankful for then or maybe the american people or not. well see. still ahead, donald trump spending this thanksgiving with his family in florida. there are new questions this morning about the number of intelligence briefings hes gotten since the election so well go live to kristen...

Pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, and see how they can recover some of those voters and start to kind of build on that going forward. that was really part of the traditional base of the democratic party. union households and those sorts of voters. >> mike, build on that, and give me your aspirational headlines here. as a democrat, and youre looking at the mid-terms right now, both nationally and locally here, what does the headline look like to describe where the democratic party needs to be? >...

Pragmatist democrat who occupied union halls for so long. bernie sanders appealed to a lot of those people even though he appealed to a lot of -- if you want to stereotype -- the crunchy liberals on the coast. joe is a different type of democrat. more moderate and from coal country and a separate set of interests. i think there is a realignment going on and the seats that are up, they would have been thought of as blue states. wisconsin, for example. michigan, minnesota and all thez seats are up...

Up the pieces and figure out how they move forward and put themselves in a powerful position heading into the mid-terms. they are in the weakest position in eight years since the president took office. >> thats right. kristen welker, thanks for that. time for the most important number of the day. its something donald trump was very interested in this morning. stay tuned. i love my shop,

Now. do you think thats going to be a rallying cry for democrats? >> i understand why she did it. she wants to keep the people involved in her campaign to pass the torch and continue to do it forever, whoever the next candidate is, or for the upcoming mid-terms, which are very, very important. what mrs. clinton probably should have addressed at some point is she ran a campaign on the past. she ran on her resume and never offered voters a tangible benefit. people made fun of trump saying make ame...

This is -- this is a hard loss for all of us because we know what was at stake in this election and weve got to do everything we can to continue to support the causes that we believe in, because when youre ready, i hope you will get up and get back out there and keep fighting. i never thought this campaign was about one person or even one election. >> and that concession, celina, she never talked about winning the popular vote, but its many -- something that many of her supporters are shouting n...

Campaign when she left the republican party and registered as a libertarian. she joins us from new orleans. thank you for joining us. when you i switched to the libertarians, you said that shouldnt necessarily be taken as a sign that you were a never trumper. you might still support him. where did you land in the election? >> i learned that disruptive elections will continue until the itch is scratched. the electorate feels like there is no two-party system. its the washington elite against them...

Teleprompter and not shoot himself in the face, it might help his campaign that. is not a lesson that should be hard to learn. an 18 month learning curve on that. if he were in office hed be almost to his mid-terms just now discovering that not starting accidental wars and offending foreign leaders is good for the country. so part of the thing i think that trump -- surrogates and other people have to deal with and wrestle with this, this has not been a great show of the best of your party by any...
