>> trish: democrats are hoping for a blue wave that rests on female voters going out, registering to vote because they supposedly really dislike the presidents party. but, i think they might want to reconsider this strategy because i can tell you and i think a lot of people can tell you, you know, women, we dont all just vote as one. that whole gender identity politics doesnt work. ed: kind of assume that you do. here to discuss womens voting patterns for the upcoming election, these big midterm...

Theyre going to be more mobilized. if hes not, republicans will be. is thereidaty that shows that? >> that would not surprise me. so far what were seeing is the way i measure is enthusiasm is the difference between registered voters and likely voters. is that gap getting wider? what were seeing is its not in fact. the people who -- the same people who said they were likely voters before, percentage republican and democrat, is the same as it is now. im just not seeing that right now. i will say t...

What somebody says on the phone. what i wonder is this. obviously, if we look at polling, theres an increasing gap in women and republican voting patterns. theres ab a 25% gap in women. democrats versus republicans. they favor democrats by 25%. thats compared to 7% only eight years ago. thats according to our republican friend here in washington. what does that mean in terms of turnout? people are so angry that they go and vote, or are there male republicans like wise motivated? im betting on th...

Cycle. so voting patterns do they hold in a general election? >> what they basically tell you is that a party is energized or not. theres absolutely no question that the democrats are energized. i have heard people say in the democratic party im worried about another case of overconfidence like we saw in 2016 for hillary clinton. i dont see any evidence of that. democrats seem determined to produce one check and balance institutionally on donald trump and that would be the house if they can get ...

>> and elise, great points by john in that the numbers are looking better right now. at the same time, democrats have had a great run of it over the past year and a half and if you can look at the intensity and thats what matters most in these midterm elections. these recent polls may not be good news for republicans running in the fall, they just may be good news for donald trump two years from now. >> joe, i would point to what john was just talking about with millennial voters and how their v...

Voting patterns than russia or china or any other government. why wouldnt that be a threat to democracy? >> they behave as though they dont have any influence and as a result, bad actors have been able to manipulative the system. to david, my simple point is having watched this company from its earliest days, it has evolved into something very different and it started out as and i am a believer in free enterprise, but im a bigger believer in democracy and i dont believe any companys rights come ...

Problem we have here is a massive concentration of power. that concentration of power is in the hands of people who preserve the rights of the first amendment for the corporation, but theyns tend to overlook the first amendment rights of the people who are the users of the site. in that process, what we have is these things that are global, they are influencing democracy all around the world, and we cant find a single example of them influencing it for the better. i am with senator kennedy. this...

Testify in an open hearing about what exactly they shared with anyone other than the trump campaign if they did so. >> i think they should. we had also made a motion today to bring alexander knicks back to the committee. the gop voted that down. im happy to say that christopher wiley, the whistle-blower, accepted the invitations -- >> just the democrats? >> just the democrats. we invite the republicans to participate, hope they are interested, but well continue to pursue this and try to find out...

Poverty, you would talk aboutar it a lot. but they dont. why is that? exit polling answers that question. unmarried mothers are a critical part of the democratic coalition. in 2008, barack obama won 74% of single mothers who voted.k in 2012, he won 75%.of alienating the voters is risky for democrats so they ignore the problem entirely. over time the left has become openly hostile to the institution of marriage. once again, voting patterns explain why. its been more than 20 years since the democr...

Was confronted with some polling that showed lamb around 6 ahead. oh, its a democratic district. again, put aside registration. look at the voting patterns. not only plus 20 for trump but 18 for romney, voted for mccain. this is a suburban conservative district south of pittsburgh. so this is really a fascinating bell weather of a bellweather state. if democrats can continue their run into this part of trump country, thats significant. now, its also one of these circumstances where if the vote g...
