Well, if donald trump was so bad and this wasnt rigged, why did the republicans win and do so well in the house? republicans overperformed expectations, based on the terrible polling that was out there. but it is important to remember that the house still remained democratic. and remained democratic by, you know, i think theyre plus 9, plus 10. thats about the same. biden did about the same that bill clinton did in 92. did about the same, bill clinton did in 96. did much better than jfk, if you ...

Going to throw the pitch to you --. >> hes ready. >> -- you cant watch it go by. when we were in law school, professors would throw at my classmates and i questions, cases that we wanted nothing to do with, and yet it was our job to figure out how to defend a person we didnt want to defend or make an argument that we wouldnt make most of the time because it wouldnt pass the straight face test as professor peerson said. im looking at the poll numbers, florida down by 13 in the quinnipiac poll wev...

All of these numbers and im hesitant to suggest this is where the real numbers are right now. obviously we are at the end of july and when i saw the quinnipiac plus 13 out of florida i thought thats probably an outlier and maybe we are closer to 8, 9 based on the other polls but look at the fox news polls, pennsylvania trump up by 11. that makes a lot more sense to me given the makeup of that state than the plus 13 from florida but there are other polls out of florida that show wide disparity. m...

It was a very show of strength and a show of confidence in this arm of government. the secretary of defense was at fema. i dont know the last time the secretary of defense ever went to fema, if this sort of thing. thats where trump started talking about alabama. the folks in alabama did their job by calming residents. the president hasnt been able to put a period on this one. >> no, he absolutely hasnt. here -- so we talked about why it matters in terms of peoples lives and their concern about a...

Advantage from trump plus 9 to democrats winning by four points. >> his people say he wasnt on the ballot. >> baloney, his name was definitely on the ballot insofar as you look at the correlation between the house results by district and the presidential vote in 2016, it was the highest correlation ive ever seen going back since all the elections ive studied. >> proof that it will stick potentially in 2020? >> proof that it might stick. this is another key. one of the reasons why the state of io...

Your opposition to busing -- busing school integration. i think cory booker is going to make a move this time. and, of course, have you got the larger controversy about the squad with the president and that whole racial element. so i think race is going to be a big player, potentially in this second round. jedediah: just quickly do you think it works what kamala harris is doing though? i think most democratic voters look at joe biden. they dont think he is a racist. they dont necessarily take is...

People i know about politics, and im very curious about what specific races you are individually going to be looking at. like, if i had to ask you, whats one race youre looking at to see how the night is going to go, lets start with you, senator. >> yeah, its pennsylvania 4, which is incumbent member scott perry. remember, pennsylvania got redistricted, and so i picked that race because its actually a blend. he has 45% new district. so its like are running in an seat and 55% incumbent district. ...

Hoping for democrats to do well in the elections this year, or if it just makes your day to see lots of people voting, these kinds of visuals will be good news. from a democratic party perspective, they know they need to supercharge turnout and enthusiasm in key battleground states and in key battleground parts and democratic leaning parts of those states if they want a shot at flipping enough seats to take back control of congress. besides those anecdotal reports that you saw from early voting,...
