Terms of messaging or outcome . Both sides, it is a little different. The republican side, i have not changed my opinion the democrats, the socialist democrat majority in the house literally gave away its majority the day it started this proceeding. The last weeker shows it. Public,ey have made it independent voters, they are losing. Polling that voters in battleground states Want Congress to work on the things they sent them to work on. Two thirds of voters think it is nothing more than political theater. On 8 want them to work cost ofng the prescription drugs. Pass the trade agreement. Things like that. Last night, bernie said during the debate democrats are more than capable of chewing bubblegum at the same time as walking. They can pursue impeachment well pursuing investigative goals. Is that something you think they can actually do. The problem. When you ask me about messaging, the leadership on the other side of the aisle understands how devastating this is in the battlegrounds. This is why the d triple c. , our counterpart, they are conducting focus groups to understand how they message this to independent voters. It quid pro quo. It does not have to do, we can do with one and the other at the same time. The voters want you to get the work done they sent you to do. Democrats have done nothing except this process. We are running out of time before the end of the year. We passed one continuing resolution. There are not enough days. The obsession with the hatred of the president. Their desire to undo the peoples will of the election. It is stopping them from doing anything else. Theirgoing to cost them majority. You have many who support it. Why is this going to be such a boon to take back your majority. Voters support or do not support it. It does not seem to be moving people. If you are talking about the national polling, it will pick up larger concentrations of democratic voters. The problem with those polls. It matters how u. S. The question. They are not upset with the investigation. They have a problem when there is nothing there. They have a problem with the process and nothing else is getting done. I would challenge that statement there is a wash. There is a poll, a wisconsin last weekshows in the since this socalled impeachment process, which i would argue is not even a process. It is the adam schiff show. He makes up the rules. He decides who is going to get to testify. What they are going to get to release. That is not a fair process. Since this thing supposedly went public, the gap with independent voters which is where the and will be decided is growing. Thisendent voters believe is nothing more than political theater. When it comes to independent we put them in one big category together when that is not the case. There are two types. There are suburban independent voters, folks who may be in the past have supported traditional republicans like mitt romney. And then barack obama supporters who saw donald trump and said this is the guy who represents me. The question is whether those voters, whether they are the kind that will be frustrated by support of the president. Those of the very voters i was just talking about. Two thirds of those voters even Nancy Pelosis outside group, House Majority forward. There is a report looking at new jersey three. Ew they are getting terrible responses to what they are doing from educated suburban voters. Impeachmentake the proceeding, they have not accomplished anything. They are here to reduce the price of prescription drugs. Doing, they want to socialized medicine. You have 150 of their members are in this medicare for all, government medicine. Want total elimination of fossil fuels, we are going to stop eating hamburger. These are not mainstream american thought and that is not is going to sell in the suburbs. Lk about the suburbs. Republicans have had hard losses in virginia. Louisiana, kentucky. Impeachment has been going on while this is happening. The in this. Media would like to believe this was a democrat night. Kentucky,governor in was way behind, made it close. The republican candidate for secretary of state outperformed by 10 points. Virginia, take a look at virginia seven. Republicant flip one house seat. Go to new jersey. They have to be extremely concerned. His suburban Senate District he , last fall, hent won that district. In the elections last week, that flipped to republican by plus seven. There is great news. We had republican victories for township supervisor in the largest suburban population in america. You are starting to see, this is what i am talking about. The frustration is the new socialist mccright majority has not accomplished anything they were sent here to do. There obsession with the impeachment process and trying to take out the hatred of the president , that is what is going to cost them in the majority. Elected jersey democrat in 2018, he could theoretically lose reelection. What is a good l whether district that shows republicans are within striking distance. We need 19 seats, we have targeted 55. The next 20, Hillary Clinton won by five or less. Kevin yoder in kansas. Tough losses, but republicans have held those and cannot hold them again. The top 13 seats, donald trump won by 13 or more. Oklahoma five. Utah four. These are seats we will win back. It is a narrow path. Seats. D 19 lets assume we dont win all 13 of the early red districts. Ruby red districts. Top 31. 18 and the whye are districts, this is the first term democrats you hear people like Jeff Van Drew say, lets pump the brakes. Went half of those, you are back to the majority. Depending on what the environment is, we can easily win back 4, 5 or six of these. The path is there to get to 25. That calculus does not take account democrat offense, texas districts trending away from republicans. Seats is a bit of an understatement when it is possible other republicans could lose their seats. A falsenk that is narrative. I told my counterpart, i hope you put all your money in texas. Texasmber most at risk in , he is getting a wicked primary generated by justice democrats. He is the one that has the biggest problem. Half a million trump voters that did not show up last time that will this time. Candidates in texas. Suburban voters, i wish my colleagues in the others had of the i o good luck as they try to half of theating aisle would look as they try to sell illuminating eliminating fossil fuels, not eating hamburger. Can you talk about what your party has done to rebrand your brand in the suburbs. What has changed from 2018 to 2020 . Bei believe branding should the incumbent. That is where it has to start. This is something we do when we sit down. Wasave 800, last night it 799. I will rounded up to 800 candidates that have filed and are already readying running for congress. Candidates in 357 races. We have a Record Number of women. Over 160. We have a Record Number of minority candidates. It is close to 150. 150 veterans running. This is a diverse crowd. It starts with the candidates. People underestimate the fact there are 8 million trump voters that did not show up last fall. You look at iowa for instance. I have not done this in every state. Compare the registered republicans and unaffiliated voters. Between find there are 100 64 and 165,000 voters that did not show up. I would suggest to you those are trump voters. That combined with the fact donald trump will be on the ballot. The midterm is a check on executive power. The whitethat loses house is energized. This is called a choice election. People will be able to make an election. It is between freedom and socialism. You can dislike the personalities, take whatever you want. You can vote against a person if you dont like their behavior for whatever reason. Youhis election, it is, do want the government to decide what your health care looks like . You want the government deciding what the healthiest thing is you should be eating . Telling you how you should travel from one point to another . Vote, they areto going to make the choice for republican. Edgedmp can be a double sword. He energized democrats. In the suburbs may be more. You are talking about louisiana and kentucky. You have a problem. You try to compare these. It is your right to have that view of it. Wasgovernor of kentucky unpopular. Louisiana, he had to have a Value Proposition. Thisn the primary saying is a bad governor. Our current evan or is a bad governor. Whatave to have a message, is your Value Proposition . He got all of the bump he could out of the president. He had to have something of substance. Members,o louisiana they say that is the biggest problem. Our guest on newsmakers, the chair of the Republican National committee. Our guest joining us to question , of politica is there room for republican candidates, especially districts Hillary Clinton carried. Is there room for them to say they support the impeachment inquiry to separate them from the republican president . It from donaldte trump and this current administration. I dont think voters are telling us they have a problem with investigations that are valid. They are having a problem with this being a complete hoax. There is nothing here. You have a witness that was cherry picked. We are going to offer him because he is going to Say Something we wanted to say. In the morning he says one thing, the afternoon, something else. There is no basis for an impeachment. I wouldnt recommend to candidates, that is a issue they stay away from. If you are going to give an opinion, i would give that it is a flawed process. If you want to do this, put it out in the public eye. Then you would get a more fair result. It you might get a better reaction from voters. Doing that because the information is not there. The word hoax, do you think that will resonate with suburban voters . I do not use the word hoax. The i talk about is fairness of the process. Somebody asks me back at home, i will tell them. Doors, notind closed allowing every member to have access to the facts . Why not . What you have to hide . Why do you have a transparent process. Stop telling us this is like the nixon and clinton proceedings because it is not. People were allowed to witness this. That is what i would talk about. The administration can call it whatever they want. Congress does have an obligation to look into things. Believe this is a credible, valid exercise of congressional oversight, put it all out in the light of day. Won, thattricts trump looks promising. S. Ere are some hole can you point us toward the . Laces you are still recruiting we have races that are already covered. We are recruiting every day. I am not sure where what you want me to go with it. Arepeople are going, these great candidates. We are going to have a lot more people that show up. 420 races will be covered. There will be a difficult difference between a candidate who raised a lot of money and one trying to get off the ground. Different media markets, environments in play. The average winning democrat in the house spent 4 million. It costs less to sell the truth. We are doing extremely well when you focus on fundraising. 23 thousand dollars where the committee was. We had 40 more members. We are way ahead of the pace when you look at prior cycles. You are going to have to compete in a lot of major markets. Are you going to be able to take out someone like katie porter . The totality of their campaigns, it does look more complicated. You have to have a message, some accomplishments. You have to convince people you are here working for them. Hatred, thisis obsession with this president , let it get in the way of everything you were sent here to do. Backieve we will take forfive seats in california. We have david running in california. Granted, we are a year out. Katie porter has put herself at risk. That. Ans are smarter than if you do not have a message, if you are going to sell the socialist agenda there are those who step out front and say we are socialist. Then there are other who want to take a step back and say, that is not everybody. By your silence, not standing up and speaking out and fighting against this socialist takeover, you are literally part of it. Every of these people is at risk to some extent. Seats,ew jersey suburban they can flip back. Katie porter, we will see how it plays. Impact whatever her seat was. Now the numbers are getting messed up but you know what im talking about. That plays. How i am incredibly bullish on all of these seats being in play. You know because you have studied, we have 55 seats targeted. Some will be more likely. Others might drop down. There are some that are outside of the 55. Might because of the candidate, the lack of getting stuff done, and electorate frustrated with the new socialist agenda being advocated it could put other races on the map. Back, what is the number one lesson you learned in terms of messaging and individual campaigns . What would you do differently and what would you do the same . Republicans made a couple of mistakes. General, overall. We did not do the job of at toalizing the job cut the middle class. The firefighter, the teacher raising 23 kids. We did not do the job making that personal. How is that better for you . Done their taxes. They know how it impacts them. I think we lost that argument. People believed corporations were the biggest beneficiary. Thanof them got hit harder anybody knows. The day that the Health Care Reform stopped in the senate, we should have sat down and said, how do we handle this . What do we do . What is the message for the voters . We never had that. Preexisting condition fraud democrat candidates perpetrated across the country in the month before the election, we needed to make sure there was no republican that wanted to eliminate coverage for preexisting conditions. We did not do that. Thatyou are trying to fix in september and october, it is too late. To be a decision made in november, 2020. Our job is to define the choice. We will continue to define the choice. Mccarthy,ship, kevin we will be putting out our Value Proposition. Why they should show up and vote for republicans. You are talking about messaging but we cannot ignore the role of the president everett a lot of that had to be his Approval Rating. That he isried, going to be a major presence . He is going to be an advantage. There are 8 million 8 million trump voters. This is an anomaly people ndc d. C. Do not understand. People not in the northeast coast or west coast, they are frustrated. They have somebody they believe is fighting for them. This new socialist democrat majority in the house, they have let this thing become all about impeachment. You spent two years, 32 million. No collusion, no obstruction. Now you move into this . You have not got anything done. We have families that are struggling. This would be great news for them. Going tohy they are lose their majority. Our guest has been representative tom emmer. Thank you for your time. Thank you. We will be right back. It was chairman emmers assertion the democrats give away the majority because of impeachment. Is there a reality to that . I think republicans want the election to be about a referendum on the socials he touched on. Even issues like medicare for all. Democrats want it to be a referendum on donald trump. I dont think we know what the answer to that question is yet. It beingns are betting a referendum on social issues and health care issues. Impeachmentke the hearings would not help. To tell. Soon there are so many unknowns. How does impeachment play out. Democratic president ial nominee. What is trumps Approval Rating like . As well,e the case among independence, there could be that x factor. Talk about what he talked about and why he felt it favored their side. Are bettingns higher turnout among republicans will help them in the midterms. Which is a safe assumption to make. Powerering the party in loses seats. Discussed iseing there might be higher turnout from a republicans could mean a huge difference. Even workingclass districts. There could be turnout among young voters. Minority voters. Tend to turnnt out but will feel motivated to do that when President Trump is in the ballot. We can assume turnout will be high in 2020. It depends who it benefits. We are missing an aspect of persuasion. They have to have been trump for democratsed in 2016. Somed h to have won over trump voters. The Campaign Committee called a lot of them trump triers. They tried trump out and will they stick with him . Testhave some cases cases. Ask when you asked him about kentucky and virginia, what did you think . Those are data points that paththe democrats have a in the suburbs. He did take a rosy view of that. You can attribute it to specific candidates but we had examples. Louisiana and kentucky, it influence how trumps is limited. Decisions were based on personality. We saw a down ballot in kentucky. It is still a republican state. Trump went there and asked voters to vote for his candidate. Support theers to gubernatorial candidate and he did not do that. If he is going to be the savior in 2020, when he was not in 2018, there seems to be a hole in that argument. When he started talking about math, he painted a rosy picture how you get to the 19 seats. Talk about the reality of the math. That is the 30,000 foot view. There are a lot of places where they do not have strong candidates. Matt cartwright. There are more examples. If you are breaking down trump support, i believe he only won eight with 50 of more. It is a plurality. Half of those districts are districts that have been trending toward republicans for a while. Half have been trending away from republicans. It might be a good year for republicans there. Am i wine only be the year where they are able to win back some of those districts. They losefirst time some of those districts. Those 31 districts are not the same. There are suburban ones, white working class, they are going to split. You look at places Hillary Clinton won, the margin has been predictable. Won 22, theyon flipped democratic. President to see the being a larger presence in the campaign trail does not help them. She is with political, and she is with the national journal. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. The house will be in order.
