and that might be for perfectly separate valid reasons, but the timing is weird. we could get a read into the i am tooing. right, we need to con strain russia to nan s point, economically. and independence is a part of that. but there s something to be said for standing up and confronting putin which is something that donald trump did not do this week. in the press conference. we don t know what happened. neil: we don t know what happened behind closed doors. we might have known what happened behind closed doors if we had a readout and everyone in the world would have known that. neil: we didn t have a readout with jfk and khrunichev in the cuban missile crisis. we didn t get a readout. if you want to do that, you have to redo history. do you want that? the problem with the readout. two things that reportedly come out of the meeting that the president hasn t responded to. neil: if this were barack obama you d be saying the same thing? yes, i would. neil: no, you wouldn t. i w
what i ve seen over and over again is an enormous amount of people who have gotten involved politically for the first in their lives since january 20th, 2017. this is quite real and they can expect more of it. one thing that happens when we re analyzing exit polls we slice up the electorate. one thing my sort of first look at the precinct by precinct is what lamb did was he did better across the board. even in the places that weren t his go to democratic strengths, he performed higher than hillary clinton had and saccone performed worse. that seems like a key through line. actually, we re seeing democratic performance better than 2016 in a bunch of different subgroups. not only is he performing in support better but also, this is something that i think you and i have talked about before. off year elections democratic precincts don t turn out the same as renes. what we saw in virginia and last
something that i think you and i have talked about before. off year elections democratic precincts don t turn out the same as renes. what we saw in virginia and last night, we re seeing democrat precincts overperform and just raw numbers. you have more democrats. that s why virginia, had you an electorate more partisan democrat than it was when mcauliffe won. you re seeing that across the board. i ve got to tell you in, 2006 when we saw a wave election, we didn t see suburban college educated women breaking this hardaway from republicans. i got to tell you, if they spent $10 million in that district and lost it, it opens up the battlefield for democrats in a way we didn t see in 2006. here s my question to you, jason. someone who has been on the grounds. is that being channeled effectively with the existing infrastructure and fund-raising and organizing to take advantage of the terrain as it currently is constituted? yeah, that s a great

forshadowing what rene is about to see. the two separate parts of the storm intense. on shore flow here and that s what we expect from rene but now what we have here for aleena on the backside of the eye wall. i m assuming your wind shifted direction almost 180 degrees, is is that true? reporter: it is. it is, chad. i don t know if you can see the direction of the wind just by the way the rain is falling, but yeah, it s whipping around the other direction and it s coming down hard and the wind gusts are pretty impressive. yeah, your wind gusts are at least 65 miles per hour on the backside of that eye and as we go up towards the northeast, rene s, as we get into this part here, you not only have wind gusts near 70 to 90, the forward motion and so as our reporters continue to get better and get worse, aleena you ll get better,
