Districts and can take full advantage. it's not clear to me yet that those recruits are there. what's your view? >> i would share the democratic congressional campaign committee. we didn't even recruit in a district like this. we called this a don't-bother district. so republican, so overwhelmingly republican, so out of the realm of possibly winning, that we didn't bother. not a dollar, and there were years where we didn't have a candidate to run. this is also a district by the way, if you look at the data if the democrat had gotten about 43%, that would have translated into the democrats taki...

And in those areas that president trump did well in 2016, but it's also the sun belt and the southwest of the country where suburban voters because of issues like guns are starting to turn if you look at certain polls. >> you know, bill crystal, you also can look at -- i mean, this obviously as vaughn said just a rock ribbed conservative district, a total republican district. you can also look deep south, though, tennessee. democrats are ahead in quite a few polls in the tennessee senate race. mississippi much closer than anyone expected. alabama obviously elected a democrat. a lot of republic...
