and it's a sign of how important the midterm elections are to both parties. this is a rally your base election. in a weird way, obama's speech may be helpful for trump's quest to get his base out, like every time trump makes a speech at a rally it may be useful to obama's base and getting them to come out this fall. >> ryan, as i pointed out president obama had not a lot to say before the election, but it didn't make much of a difference. it's weird watching he predicted all of this as a lot of people did. do you think it's going to make much of a difference now? >> well, i think, look, i think that his speech is being misinterpreted a little bit by a lot of people today. i didn't think it was -- there were a lot of lines in that speech which were attacks on trump. but a lot of his case against trump is not a political or ideological case, right. what were the big things that he criticized this president for?
