maybe a little. but that's all balderson really needed. when he endorsed balderson, and we've seen this happen in several races across the country, there is a trump effect. he has a very loyal base. it's a majority of the republican party. when he endorses a candidate, wave seen it again and again and we saw it today in several states, it drives out the republican base, the conservative base that are loyal to trump they come out and they basically act upon his direction. in this case they voted as he suggested for mr. balderson. >> and would you say the ohio special election was a referendum on the trump presidency as some have suggested? >> not entirely, no. because the democrat didn't make trump an issue. he knew that it's a republican district and that trump is very popular in that district and voted for him by 11 points. so the democrat did not run on the issue of donald trump.
