Storm. Good even. Im in for chuck todd. 22 days until election night. President trump has embraced a trumpian strategy to make the midterms all about, you guessed it, trump. Were talking trump saturation right now, guys. All trump all the time. Trump on the road. Trump in your living room. Trump press conferences. More trump rallies. More trump press conferences. Just moments ago, another press conference this time as the president met with officials in georgia while touring the damage from hurricane michael. Later this week weve gtot a trump in waco. A vote for cindy is a vote for me. A vote sfor steve is a vote for me. A vote for david is a vote for me in our agenda to make America Great again. You could argue that republicans are poised to lose control of congress because of trump. And there are signs of a huge spike in midterm voter turn outamong grououts that arent known as big trump fans. 81 of democrats say they are certain to vote which is up nearly 20 points compared to the 2014 midterms. The turnout from Younger Voters could spike by 25 points. Its the same with minorities. However democrats are seeing flashing warning signs when it comes to latino voters. Still the plight facing republicans right now is largely because of trump. Yet they see the solution to that problem as largely more trump. It might work, especially when it comes to the gop efforts to hold the senate which goes through more than a few trump loving states. Im joined by tonights panel. Beth is a senior politics editor at nbc news. Noah is an msnbc contributor and associate editor at commentary mag gene. Zerlinda, the director of progressive programming at sirius xm. Welcome, everyone. I saw make a face when i talked about Younger Voters. I understand why you made that face, but i do have some context for my week on the road last week. Lets start with this trump strategy that trump is embracing. Its trump saturation, press conferences, touring, rallies. Hes everywhere. Is it going to help republicans as they want it to the same way that it helped in 2016 . Well, everythings always about trump. Trump cant talk about anything else but trump. Everything always comes back to trump, even things with no bearing to trump comes back to trump. Does it mean its a successful thing for him to be doing on the campaign trail . Well talk the day after. Hes doing the only thing he knows how to do which is to make it about him. Its not going to help the swing districts populated by white women or college educated. But hes not going to their districts. Hes staying far away. Hes going to parts of the country and parts of individual states where those swing voters arent going to see anything of him. So if its all about bringing out the people who love him and if thats going to get them across the line or some of these republicans along the line well say its smart. Trumps average margin of victory in the counties hes campaigned in is more than 20 points. Overall Trumps Campaign trips have taken him to media markets that touch on about 20 competitive house districts, a fraction of the more than 100 that the Cook Political Report rates as having the potential to flip from one party to the other. So are they just deciding is trump just zrideciding to focus the senate considering how much more likely it is that republicans are going to lose the house . Is it easier . I dont know if its easier. It seems like a counter productive strategy to me. Over the course of two weeks dominated by the kavanaugh hearing, donald trump sort of disappeared from the National Conversation. What we saw were republicans, and democrats in the senate. A lot of republicans who were maybe on the fence were reminded of why they are Republican Voters in the first place. The status quo, this Midterm Election was about trump. It wasnt about the economy or Foreign Policy. It was about him as a person and how he conducts himself. Him reinserting himself into the National Conversation making it about him, i cant imagine it will help him. Over the course of the last two weeks weve seen polls in the states where donald trump won, reddish states in 2016. The statewide races have been going in the republican direction but polls are a lagging indicator. We could see them revert easily. The enthusiasm is widened when it comes to democrats and republicans. Republicans saw that boost after the kavanaugh hearing, but there still a lot more democrats that say theyre more excited to vote this year than they did in 2014. 2014 was not a great year. When we look at those turnout models, how confident are you that these people who say theyre excited, who are registered to vote, are actually going to go out and vote . I think its a different word than excitement. I think its actually rage which is then generating motivation. Is the word pollsters use the reason why . Its actually a different thing than im so excited about my individual house race. Its mostly i am infuriated by the things im seeing on television, on the news. I am horrified by the conduct of this president. Im also very disturbed by specific policies. For example, child separation is a big issue for the suburban moms that beth talked about. The idea that youre not motivated to go vote because youre rejecting policies that you see as a human rights violation or an aberration in this country and this moment i think is different than just being excited about it. Lets play donald trump talking about child separation last night on 60 minutes. When you allow the parents to stay together, okay, when you allow that, then what happens is people are going to pour into our country. So are you going to go back to that . Were looking at a lot of things. We want to change the immigration laws. Theyre a laughing stock all over the world. There are consequences from coming into a country, namely our country, illegally. Worked for him in 2016 making it all about him. Donald trumps indicators are that it will work for him again. Is it so are you so confident that its not going to . That Something Like immigration, even though it might turn off some republican women, wont fire up enough hard core respects, more republican men maybe, to get them or even independents who hate immigration to get them to the polls to make sure they vote down the republican line . Its a med term election. It is not a national election. We have a lot of states that are but it doesnt feel like a midterm the way everything felt in 2014. We are talking about it nonstop. We are talking about it much in the way we talk about a president ial election. It blankens cable news. Everything is about the midterms. Everything is about what is donald trump doing. It feels necessarily feels bigger this year than it has ever before. I cant tell you how different i am experiencing the midterms than that. It is not dominating the National Conversation like it was in 2014 for republicans who are obsessively focused on retaking the levers of government. I do not see that among republicans. I see cultural issues and a lot of them have almost nothing to do with electoral politics. I see them receding from the conversation. The cable news environment which i loved very much is not like the national environment. I dont see the kind of enthusiasm that i see on cable news in the general electorate. To his point about what constitutes enthusiasm, whether its rage, anxiety, what it really comes down to is whether or not the United States that gave trump the presidency in 2016 wants to basically endorse or push forward him and his agenda into the next two years. It is bigger than our average sort of collection of individual races you usually see in a midterm. This will determine his level of strength going into the last years of his presidency. If the republicans keep the house, keep the senate, its a huge validation for President Trump. It means theyre going to go full bore on the wall. Theyre going to go full bore on hard core immigration. More tax cuts. Its going to democrats will have absolutely no power if they dont come out of this in some way victorious. I know youre saying its not dominating the conversation the way it was for in 2014, but i do think there is something to be said about the viewership in cable and the circulation in newspapers and the amount of watching television, consuming news, taking part on twitter, it is louder than it was in 2014. It might not be the entire country, but there is krcertain more people paying attention more closely. You see this on the left. I cant speak for anything on the republican side, but i know on the progressive left, the energy and organizing, because its not just enthusiasm in its traditional sense. Its that i am angry and im going to go do something. Im going to leave my house and canvas for my candidates, raise money for the candidates, make phone calls. You have organizations like indivisible and flipable and swing left all who had been organizing since 2016. This is two years in. Were not talking about oh, the midterms are coming up and we might want to canvas doors. These are folks the day after the election formed organizations that are building out the progressive infrastructure. So i think that what we are going to see is the result of that work and many, many years of dedication. Lets talk about that work and whether it is working among all demographics the way minority demographics as well as white demographics and latinos. Lets talk about that. This is a headline. Democrats have a latino problem. Can they fix it in time . Democrats and activists working to turnout latino voters say they face several obstacles, some of krthem created by the party itself. They worry that anger toward trump rather than driving voters is turning people off politics all together. Look at this polling about the midterms. When you look at whos going to whos interested in coming out and voting, white voters at 61 . Africanamerican voter, 53 . Latino voters, 49 . One thing we know is that the average age of a latino voter is far younger than other demographic groups. By definition less people are likely come out. When youre a very young voter and have other things going on, other distractions from voting, its going to perhaps affect that community a little bit more. Then we are also seeing evidence that it depends on the place. It depends on the state. It depends on the campaign. On the other hand, weve seen a lot of polling in the Texas Senate Race where federal work appears to be losing ground against ted cruz in part because older hispanics are sticking with ted cruz. One of the reasons why im hesitant to quantify a kavanaugh effect, although i think its real is its also fleeting so you cant really say the kavanaugh effect is having this effect on latino voters. One of the things that process did was focus republicans on what the stakes are because they havent been legislative up until now. You mentioned the wall. The reason we dont have the wall is because republicans are at odds over that. That has been the tip thats how you tipify the last two years. Republicans are eager to vote for republican. Which basically the thrust of the des moines registers editorial on why the paper is endorsing all four democrats running in all four of their congressional races, all four districts in iowa. It says something along the lines of we gave republicans a shot. We thought a lot would get done. They did not. Its time to give democrats a chance. I think in terms of what democrats can do if they were to take at least one of the levers of power is they would hold the administration accountable. One of the things that is the most frustrating as a citizen of the country, not as a democrat or republican, is the fact that republicans have literally dropped the ball on their job. They are supposed to check be a check and balance on the president regardless of party. I read the constitution. Thats how its supposed to work. Donald trump and the party will say weve deregulated, we passed tax reform, we have a new nafta deal, the economy is going well. Youre just complaining and thats because you just dont like the president. Thats what republicans would say. Sure. I dont love the president. Hes not my favorite in terms of policy or his rhetoric. Saying dr. Ford, it doesnt matter he made an entire stadium of people laugh at her because he won. As a citizen, thats deep down in the gut. But to the point about democrats, i think that its not just about what donald trump is doing. Its also about what we can bring and what kind of policies we are pushing for. If we are running for office, were telling the constituents were going to protect your health care, were going to protect the Affordable Care act so your child who has a preexisting condition can make sure they get their medication at an affordable level. Thats something that resonates with voters and i think often the media may not be talking about it but voters are talking about it every single day. I was on the road last week. No matter what the age of the person was, no matter the state i was in, red state, purple state, blue state, 25yearolds, 18yearolds, 54yearolds, they were talking about health care everywhere. And youre also seeing back to the point about all these things that the republicans accomplished that they are pointing to, were also seeing in every single poll, even people who are inclined to like republicans, would like to see a check on President Trump coming out of congress. They just feel a little bit uncomfortable with 100 one party rule. Even if theyre somewhat inclined to be a republican, they feel its a speeding train going in a direction theyre not entirely comfortable with and a check on him is a good idea which is why in some of these republican leaning districts democrats have a chance of picking up seat. 22 day, guys. We will know in 22 days. Moments ago the president just commented on the disappearance of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Well have new information on that story coming up next. Your typical bank.

And end the day with a smile. Glucerna®. Everyday progress. Welcome back. Multiple outlets are reporting that the saudi government is preparing to acknowledge that journalist Jamar Khashoggi died in an interrogation. It is important to note that the sourcing by these news organizations is a nononymous, at least unnamed and nbc news doesnt have it confirmed on our end at this point. But President Trump was just asked about these reports and he did not offer a confirmation. Well see. I heard the report but nobody knows if its an official report. So far its just the rumor of report coming out. Earlier today the president suggested rogue killers are responsible for what happened to khashoggi. So far he has been reluctant to punish saudi arabia with retribution like, i dont know, cutting arms sales. What i dont want to do, boeing, lockheed, all these companies, i dont want to hurt jobs. I dont want to lose an order like that. There are other ways of punishing to use a word thats a pretty harsh word. You wrote a piece over the weekend about prince salman. If a Police Murders a journalist, thats not a hiccup. Shane harris who has been following this story. The president , nick, has been as we said reluctant to do anything too harsh on saudi arabia. Theres talk about how he is saying that theres going to be something very strong will happen if he finds out its true, but the strongest to think of it cutting back on this arms dale which donald trump is also mischaracterizing. Thats right. Look, i think it was pathetic the way we enabled the saudi government and the crown prince before this happened and led him to believe that he could get away with almost anything and its not just the administration. Hes got plenty of company in the u. S. I think after the murder of jamal, then its pathetic that were not hes unwilling to talk about curbing weapon sales, about expelling ambassadors, even about keeping our treasury secretary from going to riyadh. This is such a breach of International Norms and the idea that saudi arabia may set up a fall guy to claim this is some kind of rogue operation, this is like o. J. Simpson looking for the killer. It seems odd because theyve been denying it repeatedly. If the reports are true theyre going to try and find a way to confirm it, that would be interesting. Id wonder if theres any consequences for them, out right denying it and then confirming it. Its also important to know what the evidence shows so far. What we know is that Jamal Khashoggi is on Surveillance Video, shane, walking into the saudi consolate in turkey. There is no Surveillance Video of him walking out. Nbc news is reporting that he looked at his Text Messages before he got into the saudi consulate. Theres a read receipt. Once he is in there, hes not seen a single text message. The evidence we know of we can confirm is right there. The president presumably has access to a lot more intelligence than any of us do and today he threw out rogue actors. I assume if there was any evidence of rogue actors, hed offer it after he said that. Or he might not. I mean, its not entirely clear to me why he suddenly is coming up with this rogue killers, rogue actors mind. Unless hes making it up. Its possibly the new rogue killer is the 400 pound man and were verging from skepticism into denial like it has been with russia. Its also interesting he says that and were now hearing reports that the saudis may be about to describe something that looks a lot like rogue operation and the of course the president did talk to king salman this morning not long before he went out on the white house lawn and made the comment about rogue killers. You mentioned the evidence that there is from the texts, from the surveillance cameras. Its been our reporting as well that the turks have told the americans, have told american intelligence officials they have audio recording and its my understanding from talking to some sources today that i think that thats a view that the United States probably is prepared to believe that the turks have that. Its not clear that theyve handed anything over. So now were in this interesting point where the turks may have some kind of more definitive information about what happened inside the consulate. Its not entirely clear theyve sent that over to the americans, so if the americans can independently try to corroborate it, but now the president is going out and offering a theory about what happened while were getting reports of a saudi theory about to emerge. Its a mess really. We havent really seen as a definitive answer from any side about what happened to this journalist. But this falls into a pattern of the way that donald trump embraces dictators. The way he embraces leaders who have histories of very severe Human Rights Violations. Vladimir putin, which he acknowledged in the 60 minutes interview, kim jongun, which he was forced to acknowledge last night when lesley stahl presented him with a list of things he did, and now we have mbs. Its no secret theres some very serious Human Rights Violations in saudi arabia. Impunity has consequences. You let leaders know they can do worse. I think thats what happened in the case of mbs. My theory is that right now it may well be in the interest of saudi arabia, of turkey and the u. S. To agree on some kind of a fall guy who did this. Why . To protect saudi arabia. To protect the crown prince. Certainly in saudi arabias interest to fine some fall guy. Why would it be in turkeys interest given how strong turkey has been in saying this is saudi arabias fault. Because turkey doesnt want to rupp puture relations with s arabia. If they can find some face saving way that yes, there was a killing, it happened in the consulate, but that it wasnt necessarily mbs. If they can prevent that rupture, i think erdogan would welcome that and i think trump would welcome that. And yet it just flies in the face of everything we know. This wasnt a rogue operation. The second plane left saudi arabia too soon for them to have known that khashoggi had died. So what we have is a crown prince who got away with provoking a crisis with qatar, who got away with kidnapping the lebanese prime minister, and got away with starting 8 million yemen and he thought he could get away with killing a prominent journalist and it looks like he may indeed. The crown prince whos billed himself as a progressive in the Saudi Arabian sense, a moderator in the Saudi Arabian sense. He snookered us. She snookered the trump administration. He also snookered an awful lot of americans. He talked about the arms deal. He promised 110 billion in arms buys. It isnt anything close to that. s promissory notes saying at some point he might buy the arms and it might be 2032. Thats right. But its not you know, its certainly not money on the table and there were a lot of people who wanted a middle east peace deal and many people wanted that. The president didnt bring up middle east peace when he was talking about why he would be reluctant to punish saudi arabia. He brought up the arms deal. But when youre looking at the larger role of saudi arabia and middle east peace, theres a lot of coordinates about Jared Kushners relationship with mbs, the crown prince and what he was hoping he would do for Jared Kushner for his middle east peace plan, his plan between for peace between the israelis and the palestinians. Thats right. Mohamed bin salman and Jared Kushner, they are sort of where the relationship right now between the u. S. And the saudis on the senior policy level, where that meets. Jared kushner really kind of put all of his chips on mohamed bin salman and spent a lot of time trying to persuade Security Officials he is someone they can trust and deal with. That runs counter to conversations ive been having since before salman became the crown prince with officials who eyed him wearily. They saw his rise to power as something swift, quite ruthless and believed Jared Kushner was naive to be trusting this person. When you throw in to the mix potential business conflicts of interest between Kushner Companies and the trump organization, that causes profound anxiety i think within the National Security community about why it is that the Senior Adviser to the president continues to have this relationship with the crown prince that nobody with any experience in the government and this region thinks is a good idea. I could say the same about Donald Trumps relationship with Vladimir Putin too i guess. Shane harris, thank you very much. Nick, always good to see you. Thank you. Ahead, senator Elizabeth Warrens dna play is her newly revealed genetic test really about testing the waters for 2020 . The president has some fresh reaction. Nooooo. Noooo. Nooooo. Yeeeesss.

I will give you a million doctors to your Favorite Charity paid for by trump if you take the test and it shows youre an indian. And lets see what she does. Well, today we saw what senator Elizabeth Warren did a little more than three month after President Trump offered her that challenge and two years before election day 2020. Warren took a dna test the results of which seemed to back up her claim to have native american heritage, a claim the president and other republicans have questioned. So how did the president take todays news . I have no who cares . Who cares. You said youd pay 1 million to charity. I didnt say that. You better read it again. He did say that. We just heard him say it. Oh, heres what Elizabeth Warren tweeted back. Having some memory problems . Should we call for a doctor . Heres something you wont forget, mr. President. Youre the least popular president in modern history and your allies will go down hard in the Midterm Elections. 22 days. Tick tock, tick tock. Her moves may be less about trolling the president than actually challenging him. Shes already said to be looking into a 2020 president ial run that not out of the question. With me you on, the Boston Globe National political reporter who broke todays story about Elizabeth Warrens dna test. The panel is back. Elizabeth, the timing of this. A lot of people are going to question, the president just said he didnt care. He just commented on it again. Lets take a listen to that. I guess we didnt hear that sound bite as we expected to hear it. I was waiting for it. So why today . Why now . Look, i think what laurens likely trying to do here is answer a lot of the lingering questions that have been out there about her candidacy before she does her hard look at what shes going to run for president. I kind of think shes been trying to get a lot of this stuff out of the way before the midterms are over. Before her own reelection is over so she can move on to a different phase. This isnt something she wants to be talking about. I think she wants it out there. Shes done it. She wants to settle the question and be able to move on. In doing so shes showing a different approach than Hillary Clinton took when similar types of persistent issues came up about her. The clinton approach is to really hunker down and warren, well see how it works s trying a different approach, which is awfully transparent if youre shag t sharing the results of your dna test. Lets play the sound bite. We were able to give it. She owes the country an apology. Whats the percentage . One, one thousandth . When you have the percentage, tell me what it is. What about the money you told her you would you mean, if she gets the nomination in the debate where i was going to have her test sed . Ill only do it if i can test her personally. That will not be something i enjoy doing. Hes changing the rules in the middle of the game. Thats not what he said on the president ial trail the other day. In terms of how much native american she is, the testing according to the reporting that you guys did over there at the boston globe is between 1 164th and 1 124th. Im seeing a lot of memes on line. 1120th or something. Theres that. Don junior a makiis making fun. Is this enough native american to push spaiback on the preside mocking . Its a weird request to ask but im asking. The notion which i think is correct which is that she wants to move past all this, but no one was ever going to make her take a dna test. That was a bizarre choice on her part and i think its reflective of something weve been seeing from her that was evidenced in a new York Magazine pro tile file is shes not comfortable with the democratic electorate. Shes talking about how shes proud of her twitter takedowns of donald trump. Shes talking about how she was shocked into a new relationship with feminism and described her trials and travails as a woman trying to navigate the environment that she was in and public policy. I dont think thats her. I think thats what she thinks she has to be. But thats not who she is. As a democrat at this table and a feminist. Does noah have it right . No. But i just want to push back on the first question you asked which is this enough native american. Its a terrible question to ask, but the way that don junior and others are using it is to say thats a laughable amount of native american. I have an answer for this entire segment which is read a book. If you do not know that many of the people and vast majority of the people who are from oklahoma they have some part native. If youd know anything about the great migration or american history, you would know that. Not you specifically, but the people who make this an attack line. They literally have not read a book. Thats one piece. The second piece, though, about her trying to reach out to feminism, that actually is an intergenerational conversation. There is a disconnect between younger feminists like me and the feminists of the generation of Elizabeth Warren. So that bridging is necessary. I do think that she is working to do that not just by having her war room reaching out to specific Democratic Candidates that are running as was reported this weekend but also reaching out to young women and bringing in young women Staff Members who can speak to the generation that im coming from that is disconnected in some way to the boomer generation or the generation of Elizabeth Warren. I think that bridging that gap will absolutely build a coalition that she can go into the primary with and i think make a really solid case for why shes the progressive champion that could bring the Democratic Coalition together. So im going to make a slightly different argument and just touching on the native american discussion. I think what Elizabeth Warren is trying to do is show that she can get in trumps face and she can play his game with him. Shes gambling that is what the democratic electorate is looking for. We dont know what theyre looking for. We know there are probably going to be several dozen democrats who get into the 2020 nomination battle. Theres a division among Many Democrats to sort of dont do it trumps way and be earnest and policy focused and quiet and demur or should you play his game right the way that he plays it. Shes clearly experimenting with that, that she can do it, she can tweet right back at him is the profile you discussed. Thats the way she gets attention because he gives her attention and she gets attention. Well see how long this lasts, but this is the short term play. Dwe did hear from the progressive base. We have some evidence that they absolutely do want democrats to fight back. They want democrats to tweet less. They want democrats to go in front of a camera and actually speak to the base directly, so i do think that she is speaking to some of the things that we have heard all throughout my tenure post election about the fact that democrats need to stand up and fight back against trump in a much more prolific way than just sending a signal. I will throw that back out there. What i heard from voters on the road all last week was not i want somebody fighting back. It was i want someone to take care of my health care. I wonder how big the conversation is about pushback about trump or about hey, listen, i want someone who talk about my health care. I want the democrats to be on the campaign trail talking about my health care. I want the republicans out there talking about my health care. The interaction between those two issues, because fighting back against donald trump is talking about someones health care because he is trying to dismantle it. What i am saying is what i would hear is not fight against donald trump. What i would hear specifically is health care. I just dont know if its being lumped in together in that way as bradley as progressive sure. The base is one way and folks on the road is another. Its always good to get outside and talk to people.

Liberty. music throughout welcome back. Time for the lid. The panel is back. The times out with a new very well sourced and thorough report about the president , his family and some taxes. Jared kushner could have not paid income tax for years, thats according to this new New York Times reporting. It does come on the heels of that incredible report by the times about the president and his family and how they skirted the tax law and maybe used outright fraud to avoid paying taxes. This is not saying that the kushners violated any laws or is fraudulent but is saying he exploited wellknown tax loopholes for real estate investors. Its weedy but how much does it matter that the president and his family seem to be able to avoid paying taxes when regular folks like you and me and everyone out there presumably have to pay income taxes . No, its really annoying but its also one of those controversies that americans fully can understand because we know we have to pay our taxes and we may not like it when all those deductions are on our checkstub but we know thats our obligation as a scitizen and i think wealthy folks getting away with loopholes that may be illegal, but certainly dont look good, particularly under their scrutiny of the political lens, i think thats something that voters can definitely connect with. Additionally, i think its important to focus in on the taxes and the Money Laundering aspect of all of these stories because in the end i think that thats where this is going. Steve bannon is famously quoted in fire and fury andrews weitzman, he prosecuted all white collar crime. Exactly. They may be a drop in the bucket. Its unfortunate the trump story ended up coming out and by the end of the week we were not talking about it but it does not mean bob mueller isnt focused on it. Are democrats focused enough one of the messages that trump and republicans are talking a lot about on the campaign trail is how if democrats take control of the house its all going to be investigations and subpoenas and its just going to be this dredgerry of hauling people up before congress and throwing the book at them. Thats a turnoff for many voters so what i would say to that is everything that young mr. Kushner did, if it was legal and before he was a white house official, that can be fine for mueller. Its not a Good Campaign discussion for democrats. If they want to look into what trump and his family what if they thats different. What if they frame it in the way that donald trump rewrote the tax law, passed the tax law and theres some major loopholes that are exaggerated in that tax law to help real estate investors. Well, exactly. If he and his family have used the white house in order to further financial gain for themselves while in the white house thats legitimate. I think its entirely appropriate for democrats to be subpoenaing his tax records and establish that you cannot sit in the white house without releasing your tax records to the public. Thats what why havent republicans done that . They dont want to see whats in them. Based on what weve scene from the New York Times story we kind of know whats in them and he made up this audit story and wasnt being truthful and republicans will benefit from establishing the precedent that you cannot occupy that desk without releasing your taxes to the public because they will utilize that in the future against a democrat. Again, this huge story about donald trump and his taxes comes out two weeks ago, its buried with the kavanaugh news. When i was on the road its also one of those things that people havent even heard of. They havent even heard of that story which makes me wonder if you push through with this idea that the president should be held accountable, there should be transparency, we should as a country know if hes trying to cushion his own wealth if hes making Foreign Investment deals or Foreign Policy decisions based on what he has in his bank account, why arent democrats hitting that hard enough to make sure that Everybody Knows it when theyre on the campaign trail . Pretty hard in 2016 and only david fearenthold took off with that and there was Opposition Research into his dealings that said what youre talking about but its not something that resonated with voters because he was saying stuff on the campaign trail and it was about emails and the latest controversy of what hes saying. Democrats didnt simplify the message and say hes cheating you instead of going after him for every single outrageous thing he said. It was hard to keep up.
