victorious over trump. >> is this overconfident? you look at the congressional races. democrats lost seats in the house and senate. not just in the house and senate, but state legislatures as well. you look at what he said. it is a subtle jab at hillary clinton? >> it certainly is confident. i don't think the president factored in how many voter whs backed him in 2008 and 2012 are dissatisfied with how he ran the white house. if he would have rallied that support is unclear. i think he believes he would have been more effective than hillary clinton at reaching some of the demographics that she was not able to. >> there is also a very interesting comment we heard the president talking about the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. he gives him quite a compliment. listen. >> mitch mcconnell's insight from a pure tactical perspective
