Ive been talking about it for months, the undercover trump voter. Why others argue trump is overperforming in the polls. And a look at the campaigns Closing Arguments. But we know in our country the difference twoen leadership and dictatorship, right . All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. After the most humiliating 48 hours of his campaign, it appears donald trump is actually starting to reconcile himself to the likely outcome on november 8th. The republican nominee almost sounded wistful as he talked about continuing to campaign for the next 18 days, vowing to leave it all on the field. I dont know what kind of shape im in, but ill be happy and at least i will have known, win, lose or draw, and im almost sure if the people come out, were going to win, but i will be i will be happy with myself, as i always said. I dont want to think back, if only i did one more rally, i would have won North Carolina by 500 votes instead of losing it by 200 votes, right . If only i did. So i never want to ever look back. I never want to say that about myself. For the record, trump is now an average of 2 1 2 points behind clinton in North Carolina, a state mitt romney won four years ago. Clinton has led every single poll there for the past month, about 13 in all. And trumps new perspective on the race follows backtoback humiliations. First, his performance in the final debate drawing bipartisan condemnation for refusing to commit to abiding by the result of the election, a foundational principle of american democracy. And what has to be one of the most excruciating experiences of his life. Absolutely bombing at the Al Smith Dinner. Practically getting booed off the stage by an audience of clergy member, manhattan socialites from new york, trumps home state. Something of a tradition for president ial candidates, it provides an opportunity to poke fun at themselves and their rivals while showing off a sense of humor. But trump included too many nasty barbs unleavened by humor and the audience just wasnt having it. We learned so much from wikileaks. That its vital to deceive the people by having one Public Policy and a totally different policy in private. Thats okay. I dont know who theyre angry at, hillary, you or i. For example, here she is tonight in public pretending not to hate catholics. Clinton, on the other hand, struck the lighthearted tone expected at the Al Smith Dinner, if canned in places. Still landing a few sharp blows on her opponent. People look at the statue of liberty and they see a proud symbol of our history as a nation of immigrants, a beacon of hope for people around the world. Donald looks at the statue of liberty and sees a four. Maybe a five if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair. Look at some of this mornings headlines of the event, just brutal reviews of trumps performance. Trump was greeted with even more bad news. Showing that Hillary Clinton was the decisive winner of wednesday nights third and final debate. Its pretty much across the board in every single scientific poll taken after three of the president ial debates, voters said clinton won the night. Every single one. Nevertheless, trump tweeted in the results are in on the final debate and its almost unanimous. I won. Thank you. These are very exciting times. The response from the Clinton Campaign, where was this kind of comedy last night . Even after trumps debacle of the past days, so many of the Structural Forces were already aligned against him. His campaign has been trying to play catchup, investing more in tv ads than voter targeting. The campaign spent more than it raised. Finishing the month with 34. 8 million cash on hand, thats significantly less than the Clinton Campaign had on hand at the end of the month. And just over half of what mitt romney had at the same point in 2012. Trump had just 168 paid Campaign Staff by the end of september compared to almost five times that much, 815 paid staff on the Clinton Campaign. Today that number is even smaller. Trump just lost his National Political director, longtime political operative jim murphy who told politico he hasnt resigned but for personal reasons has had to step back from the campaign three weeks before election day. Im joined by michael burgess, republican from texas and trump supporter and congressman. One of your colleagues in the house delegation of texas had to say about trumps nasty woman line in the debate which some people found rankled. This is congressman brian babben speaking about that moment. Take a listen. He called her a nasty woman. Is that appropriate . You know what . Shes saying some nasty things. You think its appropriate to call her a nasty woman . Well, im a genteel southerner, alan. So that means no . No, i think sometimes a lady needs to be told when shes being nasty. Oh, really . I do. Congressman, you agree that sometimes a woman needs to be told when shes being nasty . You know what . Thats the first time ive heard that. I really dont have a comment on that discussion. Do you think nasty woman was an appropriate term . Look, this has been a tough campaign. And some tough things have been said on both sides, but thats the way it is. This is a big job that requires someone being all in, as they say. You know what i mean . I do. Well done. But do you think it was an appropriate term . Its not a term i would have used. Okay. Let me ask you this. What do you make of all this rigged election talk . Look, heres what i do know, chris. 75 of the country says were going in the wrong direction. This is a change election. You can layer it on all you want about how great hillarys doing and how badly donald is doing, but this is the reason why were actually going to have the election. People i talk to, pretty disturbed about the direction of things. Theyve got a 20 trillion debt. Did you hear the news . 580 billion deficit for the last fiscal year. Thats on top of some of the largest Tax Collections that have ever happened. And what did we get for that money . Where are the new schools . Where are the new roads . People are asking themselves these questions. Were in tough shape in this country. Weve had 1 growth, 1 growth for the last 18 months. Thats not a jobs program. Congressman, its interesting you talk about the debt, right . Because donald trump hasnt been particularly concerned about the debt and the independent scoring of his Program Shows that it would increase debt by far, far more, 160 , i believe, is the correct figure than Hillary Clintons. Hes got massive tax cuts which are three times the size of george bush. Today hes in pennsylvania talking about on top of that also a big infrastructure program, doesnt want to cut medicare or social security, also wants to increase money for the military. If theres one thing donald trump doesnt seem to care about, its debt and deficits. I disagree. I mean, i think he has spoken about that and spoken consistently. But the numbers dont add up. Heres the happy part of this equation whether its donald trump or Hillary Clinton in the white house, all these proposals will, will come through the United States congress. Tax policy will originate in the house of representatives. It doesnt just happen at the white house. But you just said before, which i think is key, is that your sense is that its a change election because people are worried about the deficit. People are worried people are worried donald trump people are worried up and down about theyre certainly concerned about the status of national security. Certainly concerned about the fact that weve not secured our southern border if theyre so worried about change in the red state of texas, how is it the case that the latest poll out of the university of houston has trump up by just three points in your home state, a deep, deep red state where republicans dominate every level of government and a democrat hasnt won statewide since ann richards. Chris, thats a houston poll. Things that come out of houston oftentimes baffle me. Its a university of houston poll. And hes going to win texas big. Just mark that down and well visit about it after the election. Do you think hell win it by more than mitt romney . I think it will be a similar amount. Well have you back after the election to see where we end up on that, congressman michael burgess. I appreciate your time tonight. Thank you. Joining me majority report podcast. Sam, i thought you know, theres a sort of theres two ways this could go, as we head into these final days. First of all, nothings over. Anything can happen. Things can change. Polls can be wrong. People cannot turn out, et cetera. But donald trump can sort of lash out increasingly or we can see him shrink over the next few weeks. I saw him at the event today and the Jenna Johnson writeup in the Washington Post made me think maybe well just see more of the latter. Yeah, that was very whimsical. I mean, thats the type of thing that i think you would anticipate him saying in a therapy session if he had one. I mean, my sense was that during the debate when he announced that hed keep everybody in suspense as to whether or not he would acknowledge the results of the election is hes building a narrative. To me, regardless of how he spends the next 18 day ks, on the 19th day, hes going to continue what hes doing. And i dont think hes going to stop. Theres a sort of great sense that once the election is over, donald trump goes away. I dont think he stops. I think his schedule gets a little bit lighter. But theres no reason to believe hes going to stop with this narrative. That moment last night in the Al Smith Dinner was interesting. Because the country has been subjected to these debates in which donald trump has strategically and intentionally attempted to humiliate, degrade, debase Hillary Clinton to belittle her, to shrink her. And here was this sort of ritual opportunity to sort of do that if you do it with enough humor. And this just totally visceral rejection of it by the people in the room and everyone that i know that was watching. Yeah. I mean, he didnt he wasnt making jokes. I mean, theres just too much anger there. And i think to a certain extent, it speaks to the argument that Hillary Clinton has been making that this guy doesnt have the temperament to be president. I mean, you know, this is a diplomatic setting. Obviously, its not international diplomacy. But its one where you have to balance who youre speaking to. And he didnt seem to have any ability to do that. And so it just sort of reinforced this narrative and i guess people there didnt appreciate it. Do you think we are going to see are we going to see a kind of backlash amongst trump voters down the stretch towards the Republican Party . Because thats the thing we started to see brewing. And its so powerful that ryan and mcconnell, it was so notable to me, neither of them issued a statement after this routine condemnation around the horn for that moment when he refused to accept the results. I think thats going to intensify and in some ways the anger will be directed most at them. Well, i think its going to be a function of what trumps strategy is. As he comes to grips with the idea that hes going to lose the election if that happens, certainly the numbers point to that, hes going to have this twopronged strategy, to delegitimize a Hillary Clinton. Rebecca trace had a great tweet that in some ways this is the Birther Movement 0. 2, i guess. This the way that hes going to attempt to delegitimize the clinton presidency, but he also has to you know, hes been hinting at this sort of stabbed in the back narrative. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt start to speak more of that as we get closer to the election. Sam seder who for reasons i cant quite get my head around is still in las vegas lo these many days after the debate. What stays here stays here, right . I cant notice you werent in farmville the whole week. What did Chris Christie know and when did he know it . The answer is right after this. E and need Cold Medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. Coricidin hbp is the only brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. Coricidin hbp. Weve got the best people. I know the best people. I know the best managers. I know the best dealmakers. I have the most dedicated people. I have the best people. I have the best people. The socalled best people that donald trump has surrounded himself with at different points include Current Campaign ceo steve bannon who boasted he turned the website breitbart into the platform for the right. Roger ailes resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment. Former Campaign ManagerCorey Lewandowski who grabbed a female reporter though was not prosecuted and Rudy Giuliani seen here not enjoying Hillary Clintons jokes at the dinner last night. Who falsely accused clinton of lying about where she was on september 11th and has been known to spread unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about her health. Maricopa county Sheriff Joe Arpaio currently trailing badly in his Reelection Campaign who faces a Justice Department criminal contempt charge for violating a court order to stop immigration patrols that included racial profiling of latinos and who is still, we should note, questioning president obamas birth certificate. And new jersey governor and trump confidant Chris Christie, the head of trumps transition team, a potential attorney general in the Trump Administration who came within a whisker of being trumps Vice President ial pick. Hell appear in court on november 23rd, to answer a complaint tied to the bridgegate scandal. I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or its execution, and i am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here. In court today, christies former top aide Bridget Ann Kelly contradicted christies claim that he had no knowledge about bridgegate. Testifying she had a conversation with former Port Authority david wildstein. I spoke to wildstein today, the Port Authority had be doing a traffic study in fort lee. When are they doing this. Wildsteen did say theres going to be tremendous traffic problems in fort lee. Youve been following this closely. Give us the basic lay of the land which is christie was unequivocal on the record in front of all the records, i knew zero before or after until it was in the press. What has the trial shown . This was supposed to be the smoking gun. And for 2 1 2 years nobody, and that includes the prosecutors until today, had heard from bridget kelly. Bridget kelly had the email. Time for traffic problems in fort lee. It looks like case closed right there. Her lawyer has suggested for the last 2 1 2 years when she finally gets to court there will be context added to this that will make it look very different. This is a big thing shes adding and testifying today saying, look, theres a history to that email and the history is wild wildstein tells me hes got this plan. Let christie take credit for solving traffic jam in north jersey. She takes it to christie and explains the situation and says time for some traffic. Shes implicating Chris Christie a month earlier than the shutdowns. She added a second detail. During the shutdowns, september 2013, that Chris Christie came back from a 9 11 ceremony and that christie was talking about how the traffic issue came up in their conversation. He knew there was a big traffic mess playing out in fort lee. Wildstein had testified that he had this conversation with christie at that ceremony. Basically saying this is what we did, boss. She was corroborating what wildstein said there. Two key things that she came out with today. Wildsteins story here and to remember thats right this massive traffic jam happened wildsteins story is this was cooked up as political punishment for mayor sokolich who would not endorse christie. Bridget ann kelly saying i thought it was a traffic study and the governor thought it was a traffic study. He knew about it and talked about it after it was happening. Bridget kelly, we have to say when the prosecutor this is the defense attorney doing the testifying the prosecutor will get a chance at her shes vulnerable on a few fronts we should point out because during the shutdown she was told that the mayor o the town that was being affected was furious, baffled, trying to get explanations, told of the problems hes facing. She has an email that says good. This was coming to a head in september of 2013 and christie sat his staff down for explanations. She saw to it that this email got deleted. So if youre looking for a gray area here where if you say you believe the essence of what shes saying today but maybe its more complicated, there could be a gray area where she had some knowledge but shes trying to say, hey, i wasnt the only one. My boss did. The thing i keep thinking about is two different counterfactual earth b and earth c, b is christie won the nomination and three weeks before the election day, this is whats in the news, the trial saying the guy was a liar. Earth c, he became the Vice President ial nominee and hes on the ticket. Also, just think back a couple years. You could write a book on the rise of trump and the history of the Republican Party 2012 to 2016, that would start with Chris Christie as the frontrunner. It was all gearing up toward this Reelection Campaign in new jersey and the whole idea, everybody in the christie universe in new jersey in 2013 was thinking about what can i do to make that margin a rout, we need a rout. Almost like nixon in 72, the watergate parallel. You do the small thing that will raise the numbers so we can go and say hey im the republican governor in the blue state and i just got 60 of the vote you need me to win. This is Chris Christie the guy overseeing the transition for donald trump right now should that eventually happen Steve Kornacki thank you the latest poll isnt looking good for trump but could results on election day be possibly worse .

Affair, Hillary Clintons speech took a serious turn when she gave the Closing Argument for her entire campaign. You certainly dont need to be catholic to be inspired by the humility and heart of the holy father, pope francis. Or to embrace his message. His message about rejecting a mindset of hostility. His calls to reduce inequality. His warnings about climate change. His appeal that we build bridges not walls. Now, as you may know my running mate, tim, is catholic and went to jesuit schools and one of the things he and i talked about is this idea of the jesuits of the magis, the more, the better, we need to find ways to disagree on matters of policy while agreeing on questions of decency and civility. How we talk to each other, treat each other, respect each other. So ive taken this concept of magis to heart in this campaign as best as one can in the daily heat, the back and forth of a president ial campaign to ask how we can do more for each other and better for each other because i believe that for each of us, our greatest monument on this earth wont be what we build but the lives we touch. Wont be what we build. Ahead, why what clinton said is essentially a reminder about what her campaign thinks this election is ultimately about. A referendum on what kind of country we are.

Lease the c300 for 369 a month at your local donald trump is on the wrong side of the polls. With each passing day more early votes are cast. Data on early voting is thus far favoring the democrats. According to the Washington Post in seven states where returned ballot data was available by party, democrats made up a larger percentage of what had come back by the 20day mark than in 2012. Thats the apples to apples comparison. Trump would need something to radically shake up the race or to the polls to be wrong, which is a possibility. There is the shy voter theory, the idea that some trump voters might not admit their support to a pollster but will cast that vote on election day. Theres an opposing theory that trump voters might underperform. Heres an example. Missouri Senate Candidate todd aiken whose poll numbers started slipping after his infamous legitimate rape comment, the last polling before the election gave Claire Mccaskill a lead, mccaskill ended up winning by a whopping 17 . Joining me political analyst for fivethirtyeighth. Youve written about this. We have. About candidates that have some kind of disastrous character issue explode late in a race underperforming in the polls. David duke, remember when he ran for governor, there was all this conversation. People dont want to say that theyd vote for david duke because obviously david duke held some views. What happened on election day, there were africanamericans who turned out in record numbers and david duke underperformed his polls and the democratic candidate won rather easily. The duke case, he was polling higher than he ended up performing. Yes. And much of that is accounting for the fact that he was such a lightning rod, to use the word deplorable. Exactly. He was more of a motivator for his opponent. Exactly. It wouldnt take much to happen to say, okay, latinos, for example. Were seeing them register in higher numbers in a state like arizona thats much closer than you might have thought at the beginning of the year. Why would that be . Because of donald trump. It wouldnt shock me at all, higher latino turnout, these polls could be skewed towards the democrats. What about this online poll first interviewer thing. Clinton 4838 according to huff po in live polls much narrower lead in online polls. Thats the evidence for the shy trump voter theory, right, that when interviewers happen when you take away the interviewers, trump does better. Sure, but we saw this during the primaries and saw convergence but the polls were good in the primary. It was the pundits such as myself who out in theres no way that donald trump could possibly win the republican nomination. The polls go from august of 2015 onward they all said trump was going to win and he did win. We got the aiken example, you guys cited Anthony Weiner, even after the mayoral race and texting scandal resurfaced for him, his poll numbers declined. He was at about 10 , then got about 5 of the vote. Thats a perfect example of someone 40 has a real name, a real new yorker, kind of that outer borough thing and voters said, uhuh, not interested. Whats the theory for someone like aiken and Anthony Weiner which is different than david duke. Opposition. Late polls dont just capture the amount of movement thats happening downward in the trajectory when voters make up their mind that someone is beyond the pale. That would be the case. People who might say theyre going to vote for aiken dont end up showing up because theyre so dissatisfied with whats going on. Like so dismayed. Youve watch this whole implosion happen. Why go to the polls if you think the guy especially if your candidate is arguing the whole thing is rigged anyway. Theres things in the Political Science data that telling voters the election is rigged is a way to suppress turnout among your supporters. This is one of the thins that trump does that nobody understands what hes doing. It could turn very much against him. Most and ive been around a lot of political organizers, around field organizers, my brother was a field organizer, i actually back in the day was a canvasser. You want to send the opposite message, literally every vote counts. Maybe you have to get child care on election day, maybe you can go early, but its so important to put in this effort precisely because every vote counts. And donald trump is playing against the playbook because thats what worked for him in the primary, but i have news for him. General election electorates are different than primary electorates. Its clear from the polling that whatever hes doing is not working. Thank you for your time. Thank you. If you think this election is nuts just 18 days out how does it stack up against past elections at the same point . Unbelievable tape coming up. Im fed up with it. Ever seen anything like it in 25 years of public life. Thats a big hole. That is unbelievable. Now lets check out the roll formed steel bed of the silverado. Same angle,same empty tool box. Took it way better. The steel held up. Its truck month make a strong decision. Find your tag and get over eleven thousand total value on this silverado all star.

And now im in virginessee. See how much you could save on Car Insurance. Or am i in tennaginia . Hmmm. Were doing something thats incredible, thats a movement. But if we dont win, all it is is a little asterisk in history. Theres never been anything like this. So go and register, make sure you get out and november, november 28th. November 28th. Thing 1 tonight. Theres a good reason why november 28th, not november 8th, actual election day, may be weighing on his mind. First, the president ial election, november 8th. Then the fraud trial for Trump University which begins on november 28th. Trump is being called to testify in federal court in san diego against charges he deliberately set out to rip off students. The presiding judge is judge Gonzalo Curiel who trump attacked. There should be no trial. This should be dismissed on Summary Judgment easily. Everybody says it, but i have a judge who is a hater of donald trump, a hater. Hes a hater. His name is Gonzalo Curiel. The judge, who happens to be, i believe, mexican, which is great, that is fine. The judges in this court system, federal court, they ought to look into judge curiel, because what judge curiel is doing is a total disgrace. Ive had horrible rulings, ive been treated very unfairly by this judge. Now, this judge is of mexican heritage. Im building a wall, okay . Im building a wall. How does his mexican parents have to do with him not ruling for you . A club, society, very strong pro mexican, which is all fine, but i say hes got bias. Im going to build a wall. This judge has treated me very unfairly. Hes treated me in a hostile manner and theres something going on. So how will that, not to mention Everything Else donald trump has been saying in his president ial campaign, affect whats going to happen in judge curiels courtroom . His lawyers have a plan and thats thing 2.

It lets you earn double cash back. 1 when you buy and 1 as you pay. The citi double cash card. Double means double. So in anticipation of the upcoming fraud trial for Trump University you remember that, by the way . Where did that go . Donald trumps lawyers have filed a request, defendants respectfully move to exclude evidence and arguments relates to statements made by or about mr. Trump outside of the adjudicative process. That includes campaign speeches, statements at political rallies including statements about this case, statements at debates, statements about individuals or entities unrelated to this litigation, campaign advertisements, tweets, statements by campaign surrogates, audio and video recordings made or publicized during the campaign, tax issues comments about this case or the court donald j. Trump foundation and or business owned by mr. Trump not part of this litigation personal conduct accusations other politicians state attorneys general or Public Servants beauty pageants, casinos and corporate bankruptcies other litigation. Basically trumps lawyers want to make sure that literally nothing that their client or president ial campaign has done or said or tweeted makes it into the courtroom next month. Good luck.

The headline from the campaign trail just 18 days from the election are pretty shocking. Made us wonder what was happening at this point in other american elections 18 days out. Heres what we found. The two Vice President ial candidates, dole and mondale, have their debate tonight. Heres what they were doing today. Senator mondale suffers from hypertension. Today he was a study in relaxed confidence, out playing tennis early this morning. The competition on the court came from members of his Campaign Staff. Some suggested it wasnt quite as tough as the competition mondale might expect from the debate tonight. Nixon makes the same speech everywhere he goes. All candidates do that. But nixon is speaking on the issues of the day in only the most general way. Hes saying theres lots of things wrong with this country and hes promising to do something about it, but hes not saying what. Time will not permit an extended discussion of those great problems in which youre all interested. Today al gore hits the talk show circuit sitting down with regis and rosie, reaching out to their large female audiences. The real key is the classroom experience. In new jersey bush used heckling by clinton supporters to remind everyone of his draft controversy. I wish these draft dodgers would shut up so i could finish my speech. Pathetic. This highly negative campaign turned more personal, dukakis took another step, putting out a commercial to plain about a bush commercial. Im fed up with it. I havent seen anything like it, george bushs negative tv ads. Im joe the plumber. It will be fun for a couple days then go away. Not yet. Hes still a symbol for the mccain palin ticket. Our opponent wants to raise taxes because he thinks like that other joe, that longtime senator from delaware, that other joe. On the broadcast tonight, 18 days and one last critical debate to go now. Tonight theres a new word in the political dictionary i think its called romneysia. Heres the examine news. Obamacare covers preexisting conditions. But it wasnt all fun and tennis games. Take a look at the events 18 days out from the election day. A Campaign Event for george wallace, a candidate whose raucous rallies, shall we call them, many cited at the best precedent for trump. He had canceled todays schedule. An aide said he is suffering completely exhaustion. Wallace himself as he campaigned in texas yesterday had said he was tired. Nbc news correspondent Dave Burrington reports. George wallaces spirits appeared to be sagging as he arrived in ft. Worth. For several days he was shouted down in el paso. This is wallace country, but he ran into one of the worst and one of the loudest protest demonstrations of his campaign so far. Youve got some folks out here who know a lot of fourletter words, but there are two fourletter words they dont know. Work. They are the biggest bigots in the world. Oh, yeah. You know what you are. Youre a little punk, thats all you are. Well, lets talk about vietnam a moment. You havent got any guts. Youve got too much hair on your head, partner. You got a load on your mind. Thats right. And cut the floodlights off. If you havent got anything to put on television, why dont you just move on over here. At one point the secret service ordered the lights on wallace turned out. They were fearful of an attempt on the candidates life and said the lights blinded them. The shouting didnt let up and after more than 30 minutes of it, wallace gave up. He waved to his fans and then left without finishing his speech. He looked haggard and at times even frightened. David burrington, nbc news, with the Wallace Campaign in texas. 18 days later wallace came in third behind Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey with just 10 million votes. Or stop to find a bathroom .

He loves to build walls and ban us from this country. Have you even read the United States constitution . I will gladly lend you my copy. For the fallout over the for the fallout over the access Hollywood Tape or his degrading feud with the former Miss Universe or the allegations of unwanted physical contact from maybe nine, maybe ten women, donald trump spent nearly a week of his campaign this past summer attacking the Muslim American parents of a fallen soldier. Khizr khan appeared to speak out against trumps proposed ban on muslims and to tell the story of their son, captain humayun khan who was killed in iraq. Khizr khan talked about his sons sacrifices for his country. Now, with 18 days left in this campaign as part of Hillary Clintons closing message, she tells his sons story, the election is ultimately about the character of this nation. In 2004, my son was stationed in iraq. He saw a suicide bomber approaching his camp. My son moved forward to stop the bomber when the bomb exploded. He saved everyone in his unit. Only one american soldier died. My son was captain humayun khan. He was 27 years old, and he was a Muslim American. I want to ask mr. Trump would my son have a place in your america. Joining me now Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampel and correspondent for mtv news. Obviously unbelievably powerful ad. But also part of the reason this election feels so fraught and so wrenching is how existential it feels in that its not like theres a big like the big fights are over a Medicaid Expansion or the culture wars. Or even the culture wars. Its literally who are we. Not even as subtext. As explicit text of the campaign, Hillary Clinton is saying who are we as a nation . This election has been about identity politics, been about race, about been gender, this is an ad thats about identity politics in the national sense. What are we as americans . And in what way do we define american . Is american too narrowly defined in a trump universe . And the trump idea here is that, you know, change our status quo which theyve sort of landed on as their closing message but in fact what it has been is about what great americanness really looks like. This has been explicit maybe implicit, but its been part of the campaign from the very beginning when he started talking about making America Great again. For whom was it great. And when. And when. If youre talking about throwing back to a time when large sections of the American Public were disenfranchised, were not allowed to vote, were not allowed to hold certain jobs, were not allowed to marry people of a different race, this is the kind of america that hes nostalgic about and that he has been talking up about the campaign. Its not necessarily a new thing. Theres degree to which theres pundits buy into this and people covering the race saying this is a change election, the people who want change for the status quo and its true, right, but then you look at Something Like and the trump people and republicans are like how is hillary winning. Then you look at job approval. 5542. You look at the obama majority, the fact that there is a majority out there that essentially wants the america that is the obamas america, for lack of a better word, and i think it drives people crazy to imagine theyre on the wrong side of that math. Which makes it even more confusing with donald trump is persisting with a change message in this recent ad he put out saying we need to change in every single way that washington does business. A lot of people like how government works. They like government working for them. And they like to see government working for them. And i just dont understand if youre actually trying to win, thats the message you put up. But i dont think hes necessarily trying to win. Hes trying to animate his base. Its not just about washington piptss also about the economy. And if you look at our economy, we have record high wage growth last year, like the highest in decades, unemployment at 5 , very low inflation, gas prices are cheap. Theres a lot of reasons to not to Mention Health insurance, that we have the lowest rate of uninsured, you know, ever. And there are a lot of reasons to say maybe things arent perfect but theyve been going in the right direction at the very least. That story and a good piece about this where he called it, theres a new silent majority and its voting for Hillary Clinton that throughout the campaign, you know, particularly bernie followers in the primary section for for i think understandable reasons got a lot of coverage because of the intensity and how surprising it was that sanders was doing as well as he was, heres a socialist competing. Weve seen an entire genre devoted to the trump voter, magazine piece, literary pastoral looks at the trump voter. Voter of the continuity. Lets not rock the boat. Thats a totally invisible person but is probably going to end up being numerically the modaloter. They know theyve longed for a woman to be president. They think they understand these voters but they dont get involved in the nittygritty about what they actually want. It would be nice to see that explored a little bit more beyond the campaign. Just to push back a little bit. Part of the reason why in is a genre of the trump voter portrait is partly that the locus of media is on the east coast in relatively liberal places. Liberal media elites to wrap our heads around i agree, and what ends up happen pg and i totally get that and its important to talk to folk, something ive done, weve done, talked to people who are supporters, but what ends up happening is you can go to the point where to prove the authenticity that you dont have but you want to get to ignore the story thats there, right, which is like why are these people voting for essentially a third term of barack obama when literally when you watch cable news, pundits Everyone Wants change, everyone hates the way things are going. Thats not true. People who come from the midwest have seen these Trump Supporters in different cloth, so to speak, before this and been pleading, hey, america, this is the reality of racism in this country, never been listened to until now until they actually had a candidate to vote for . Thats a big reason why people are seeing these pieces that are treating trump voters like theyre some kind of rare species. We know what these people are. Can also in their also can sort of end up to me being a little condescending. Right. But ultimately because this final argument is going to be so existential, because the what kind of campaign are we . Thats the campaign question thats beingaanswered. The idea of putting that back together afterwards also seems really hard because trump has not seem keen on putting it back together afteard. Thank you both. That is all in for this Rachel Maddow starts right now. Youre almost home. Youre almost there. Happy friday. Have a good weekend. Happy friday. Nice to have you here. In november 2008 at an open air plaza on a beautiful night in Arizona Republican senator john mccain gave a speech that his supporters did not want to hear. His supporters loved him. They supported him. But he was there to do something they did not want. And you could almost see in him the almost physical strain it took for him to keep a lid on their emotions. For him as a leader, to stop the raging sentiment and upset and
