polled today say they opposed the tea party. if you look at all the big issues that animated the political debates over the last couple months whether it was cultural wars like abortion or the government shutdown, we see a very strong reaction to this electorate against the conservative side on those issues. one out of five voters, i think this was a high number, said they thought abortion was their top issue in this election. and of those people and the evidence is that they re pro-choice. 61-40 percent. we have to keep reminding ourselves that virginia is so important because it is exactly the bellwether state for the union. just about exactly what the nation is. i would say virginia has become the new ohio in many ways. richard nixon used to say it s all about ohio. it s all about virginia now. and the fact that women turned out in overwhelming numbers apparently in support of terry mcauliffe is big. let s look at that number. the nbc news exit poll shows women i
thought the most important story was the reaction of the death of a petty street criminal and it was most reported but not close to a story that is rocking your world and you probably didn t feel the tremor. the international monetary fund revealed that china s economy surpassed that of the united states and now china is now the world s largest economy. they reported on this story and it could should have caused demonstrations in our streets. we are losing our country and no one seems to notice. less than 15 years ago, the u.s. economy was three types the size of china. and americans since 1945 have grown used to having the number one economy and must have taken it for granted. get ready to the new ranking or get angry and we ll do something

something isn t to happen. that s all true about this white house but none of that apparently applies when it comes to trump talking to russia. in that case, notification comes from moscow. the last time trump talked to putin, which well, at least as far as i know, was november 21st. the first notification there was of that in the english language that trump would be speaking to putin that day, first english language notification is when reuters translated a notice from a russian based news agency that reported trump and putin would be speaking that day and it was the first any of us in this country heard of it. two weeks before that the big asia trip where the people of united states of america learned the president would be meeting on the sidelines of the asian summit with vladamir putin, and we learned that from a kremlin staffer and american reporters took that information and asked and before that the oval office meeting with president trump and russian foreign minister and ru
nine months away. there is a lot to talk about. let s begin at the white house. kelly o donnell, we are learning that rob porter, the staff secretary, accused of domestic violence by his ex-wives that he could be out as early as today, is that correct? reporter: that s our reporting and the issue is that rob porter offered his resignation and sarah huckabee sanders said there would be an extended time of transition, where he would be able to help facilitate a successor. that has changed in the sense that there has been a lot of controversy around this, a lot of attention drawn to the two former wives of rob porter. the statements they have made publicly alleging verbal abuse, physical abuse and emotional abuse and porter has said that these are smears. he has said that these are baseless allegations and a coordinated campaign against him. we saw a shift, in fact, that at first, members of the white house senior team including chief-of-staff john kelly were very supportive of porter
