Gillaspie. However, what were not showing right there, though, and let me just tell you right now is when you look at it right there, to support donald trump, 16 of people went out to vote to support donald trump. Look at that number, 34 , more than double of people went out as an Opposition Vote against donald trump. As we talk about this election, as we talk about 2018, clearly trump had an effect on this race. Thats the president mark. What are people saying about the republican and democratic parties in virginia . Good news for democrats, bad news for republicans. If you look at there, it shows that democrats right now had a 51 Approval Rating coming out of this exit poll. If you look at the Disproval Rating was 45 . Now, if you look at the republican numbers, their Approval Rating was only at 45 , don. If you look at these numbers right now it just goes to show you that democrats were doing
its really selfinflicted wounds. The big win for democrats tonight, exactly one year after Donald Trumps stunning victory over Hillary Clinton and the president ial election. Joining me now cnn political analyst joshua green, National Correspondent for bloomsbering business week, cnn reporter henderson, cnn Political Commentator david axelrod, and dave begala, simone sanders, jason miller, and Political Commentator amanda carpenter. Before i play this, i want to pl play what happened one year is biden running . He seems to be talking to people about it. Hes going on a 40city book tour which is often a prelude to something. And i expect that hes very much down the road. A couple of weeks ago he was in Western Virginia campaigning
for Ralph Northam. By the way, Terry Mccullen the democratic governor of virginia, a huge winner here am. A lot of people are going to look to him to run. The question is what lessons candidates should take from this. The fact is that in both parties candidates have to go through a nominating process. And sometimes a nominating process has different demands than the process of winning a General Election. And i think one of the challenges for the Democratic Party is do candidates position themselves in such ways to win the nominating process and make themselves less electable in a General Election . And that remains to be seen. So can you guys believe its been a year . It was one year ago tonight. Whatd you say . Feels like ten. Hopefully itll be seven more. Well, itd be one more
election. Many more years. Each year for me with President Trump is like a dog year, a female dog year. Its very difficult. Heres what was going on on cnn a year ago. Watch this. Donald trump suhead. He has 242 electoral votes compared to Hillary Clintons 209. He is ahead of Hillary Clinton right now, but there is still several of those yellow states that are out standing right now. So well see what is happening in those states. Hes clearly doing now, dana, what he did during the republican primaries, surprising a lot of folks. Thats absolutely right. Right now a historic moment. Cnn projects donald trump wins the presidency. The Business Tycoon and Tv Personality capping his
improbable political journey with an astounding upset victory. Defeating Hillary Clinton in a campaign unlike anything weve seen in our lifetime. It is interesting. I remember being and people are looking shocked, right . I actually think he watches that. Every night before he goes to bed, im sure. Its been a year. A lot has changed in the Political Landscape in a year. Yeah, donald trump hasnt really changed, though. He is essentially the same person as he ran as, the kind of tweets that stir things up, the bullying in terms of people in his own party, talking about the president the way he does. I was in this chair a year ago, and i think i am surprised at how little donald trump has actually been able to do. Ithink i remember texting back and forth with somebody in the
obama administration essentially saying, you know, the whole obama legacy is over, and theyre going to be able to run the table on any number of things in terms of Overturning Legislation or passing new legislation, and that just hasnt happen immediatech and i think we saw the results of that tonight with folks in virginia and different states essentially saying what we signed up for something in terms of voting for trump, but he hasnt necessarily delivered. And not only that hes tweeting wild and crazy things at other republicans and its not amounting to anything. That was the concern. It was a republican house, republican senate, Republican White House and that there would be legislative accomplishments democrats would not like. That has not happened. Not at all. Trump stated i want to be president for all americans. And that sent a message, very shortlived, but it sent a message that he really might reach across the aisle and maybe lead with something like
infrastructure. So you had a lot of democrats, chuck schumer, worried that trump would steal a big part of the democratic base. Blue collar, white workers who are tempted by him in many ways. And had he governed differently, he might have. But thats not the trump we see here a year later. We talk about the president constantly reaching out to his base. Thats a strategy. Reach out to his base, reach out to his base. He only does interviews on one network, which many people labeled the Trump Network now. If you look at the poll numbers, hes not gaining and he hasnt reached across the aisle. He hasnt brought in any new voters, any independent numbers. Does the strategy ned to change, jason . Well, i think part of what the president needs to do is go back to the strategy that works so well on the Campaign Trail. I was with the president when he went into cleveland and talked
about school choice, went into africanamerican neighborhoods and talked about infrastructure, how were going to bring back jobs and opportunity. He said he needs to come off of offense or go back . He needs to go back on offense. Hold on. But on the Campaign Trail, i felt like the president really took on big issues and thought really big transformative agenda items. And i feel that were getting too much of the president s success or failure right now is being dictated by what 100 Knuckle Heads on capitol hill give a thumbs up or thumbs down to. When we talk about things that can truly change peoples lives for the better, things people can say, wow, i did not expect you donald trump to make good on these promises or do these big things. Keep in mind during the campaign one of the things that made donald trump stand out so much, he would go to news outlets that
typical republicans would never go to, and he would do great. And he would take this message when he needed them hes like of course oh, yeah ill do the interview he should go and take advantage of that, take offense wont it be hypocritical if he goes back and does interviews with fake News Organizations no, the one cool thing about Election Night i get to brag for just a minute. Go right ahead. I wanted the opportunity to tell him they just called the race and he became president. So a minor footnote in history do be backstage and said mr. President , mr. President elect, they called it and youre the next president of the united states. Hold on. What was his reaction . I think it was a kind of a
momentary, he just kind of looked and like youre kidding . And everyone started hugging each other and it was a pretty cool moment. Something jason said i want to go back, these 100 Knuckle Heads on the hill, that is our government. The fact tat donald trump has not been able to grasp that concept in this short year i think is really important. Its going to dictate what the next year looks like not just for him but republicans down the ballot. So going back to whatever he did on the Campaign Trail was only speaking to specific group of people. If you really want to be president of everybody, you have to act like youd be president of everybody.

Joining me now Cnn National Security analyst james clapper, the former director of national intelligence. So good to have you on. Thaeng very much ach after watching the president s speech tonight in your opinion do they decrease or increase the conflict with north korea . I dont think they change a whole lot. I think it was a strong speech, but it was absent of the careless and inflammatory rhetoric we saw before. Its not going to intimidate the north. I thought the litany about Human Rights Abuses was kind of striking, that he would do that. The idea of suggesting, i think he was messaging the chinese and russia about serving relationships. Im not sure what that means. I think the chinese are going to be hardpressed to do that. And the greater strategic imperative for the chinese is north korea not implode violently and particularly and they lose their buffer state. I think that is the overriding strategic imperative for the chinese. But the speech was mostly stiff and not much carat. I wish he expanded a bit on his Press Conference remarks about the ordeal and offered something about the path to negotiation. If i ever drafted a speech, which is unlikely would ever happen, i think i would have tried to insert some language in there about the fact that the
united states has no enemies. What he did not do in this speech is put north korea back on the terror response list. I dont really think theres much to be gained by that in terms of what that hell actually mean by north korea. Thats something they ought to hold back. They dont want be put on that list, so i think it was good not to do it. He said north korea should not underestimate his administration. This is new and different administration. Im wondering where diplomacy stands right now. It wasnt long ago he said tillerson was wasting his time negotiating. Yes, and i personally dont think the Secretary Of State is ever wasting his time through diplomacy. Thats his job. And as Secretary Mattis has said, were always looking to
negotiate. And again the inference of his Press Conference remarks was theres something afoot here, hopefully diplomatic. I dont know what that means, and i was looking for that in his speech. I was hoping it would be more on a path ahead for negotiations. I dont try or didnt when i was there, the north korean great interest in a peace treaty. Because all we have is an armistice thats there for 64 years, a ceasefire. Of course that wasnt in his speech. All of this is happening and russias in the background. Russias still playing here even as hes overseas, and then we have this where at the urging of the president , we have mike pompeo whos a cia director, the president met last month or he met last month mike pompeo with a u. S. Intel official who denies that Russia Meddled in
the election and has this Conspiracy Theory that it was an inside job. How unusual is that made . Well, its unusual. And in fairness to pompeo, i think when the president asks you to meet with somebody as much as you may not want to, in my sensing is as much as it took to meet, he didnt want to do that. Because he understood the impact that was going to have on the Intelligence Community at large. And i was gratified when he did ratify the findings and the evidence that it Wasnt An Inside Job is pretty substantial. But it seems like the president , he is still questioning the Intelligence Community that Russia Meddled in the election. It shows the lengths at which the president would go to Grassp Straws in try to rebut that
assessment. It was very solid. And so i think he just wont let it go, and hes looking for any way he can to attack the notion that the russians interfered. And they did and quite substantially. New details are coming out about carter page, that capitol hill testimony. On a trip to russia he interacted with a Russian Deputy prime minister. And also said top officials like coren lewandowski, hope hicks new about that trip. What does that all mean because theyre still some in the administration . Well, this is continuation of this drip, drip, drip. Implicating People Associated with the campaign and in some cases with the administration about this interaction with the russians. Thats why its so important that this come to closure at some point. And of course the great hope here for me is that special
couns counsel mueller, which i think whatever he comes out with should be the definitive word. But this business of these revelations coming out is not good for anybody. Not good for the country and not good for the president. Always a pleasure. Thanks, don. When we come back President Trump calls the russia investigation a hoax. Its not.
