National stage, i think its a good question. who does that benefit? republicans certainly have demonstrated that they can run against the obama record. i dont think it helps democrats, particularly moderate democrats who are struggling for voters in the midterms. >> alena, president obama had strong words about the gop. take a listen. >> politics of resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party. >> when you hear president obama throwing pretty much partisan punch...

That they think they need to take it to within the regular order. max is right. they do take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states. what they are doing is extraconstitutional. the power is vested in our elected leadership. not in these unelected anonymous people. so i agree with max that we do need people operating to defend the constitution. but as he pointed out, there are constitutional avenues to achieve the objectives. i cannot believe that people have given up ...

This time in the evening we might know who will be in control of the next congress. specifically to the polling, to the national generic ballot, i think what might be encouraging is that this is not a national election. you know, the states that are going to decide the fight for the senate are considerably more republican than nationally and even the states that will decide the house are a little bit more republican than what those numbers are showing nationally. what i spent most of my day focu...

I think they should resign from the administration. i think they should put their name on it and take any concerns they have to the congress, to the special counsel, to anybody that they think they need to take it to within the regular order. max is right. they do take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states. what they are doing is extraconstitutional. the power is vested in our elected leadership. not in these unelected anonymous people. so i agree with max that we do...

He thinks we have crossed that rubicon. i think he left democrats with a message today about how to attack trump. he started off with the economy. he continued on to talk about temperament issues. then he went on to talk about corruption, about the idea that this administration is, in his view, not doing things in a way that is consistent with democracy. i think he left bread crumbs for the democratic party for how they can go forward and deal with this. >> and who he was speaking to is importan...

2016. this election -- >> thats a lot. >> a lot. 56 million people voted for trump. we have seen midterm -- not midterm. primary elections across this country is democratic turnout is up and republican turnout is down. we need some of the well meaning suburban women that did not do the right thing in 2016 to pull the lever in 2018. but this is really about people understanding the power of their vote and thats what obama talked about in the bulk of this speech. this wasnt as much -- people are s...

The fight over the 2018 midterms just turned into a heavyweight match and the two names battling it out wont be on the ballot. president obama going after president trump directly as well as the republican party, the speech likely a preview of his midterm message kicking off campaigning for 2018 candidates. and as cnns athena jones reports, its a break from precedent of going after his predecessor in such stark terms. >> the paranoia found a home in the republican party. >> reporter: president o...
