voted for trump by 19.6 points, two things need to happen. number one, they need a favorable environment where trump is unpopular nationally and i think that isn t getting them halfway there. the other half is the difference in candidate quality. and lamb has been relentless on message. he is an outsider at a time when his republican opponent is an eight year veteran of the state legislature and has taken right to work vote. there are 86,000 union house districts. this district has the type of dna for democrats to be able to count on some ancestral strength to make it close and perhaps win. ed, i want to ask you on the point dave is making. what is your sense of where this district is? the union households that are there, did they just vote for trump because he s trump, or are they going to be republican voters, do you think, for decades, and do you think ultimately republicans may be able to pull this out?
he took two men whose name was bush. bill: cruz has argued 9 cases before the supreme court. he wrote a record on his foreign policy, arguments against bigger policy and entitlement programs. he attacked him on spending. bush had the spending to gdp rareio was 19.6%, despite the fact we had a war. and that s lower than the post-world war ii average. the deficits 2% of gdp. president obama s have been running twice that much. the debt was 36% of gdp. day it s 74% of gdp. president bush cut the deficit
something is wrong. it s at 19.6 right now. yesterday it hit 21. elisabeth: thanks for keeping an eye on all that and a fear factor known as the vix. brian: do not inhale. elisabeth: now we ll head over to heather nauert for some headlines. we are right now getting our first glimpse at the detective who has been accused of assault in that road rage case here in new york. but not a very good one. take a look at him right here. the guy in the hoody right there, that s the 32-year-old. he covered his entire face as he walked out of court. he s now been charged with gang assault and criminal mischief. he s currently out on $150,000 bond. the allegation is they allege that he struck the rear portion, hatch back window, which has a gaping hole already in it. it s already destroyed.
16.6% had health care when obama was elected. 19.6% excuse me they are people now that s a 3% loss which translate to 4.9 let me finish. i ve got your point. you have you were asking me a question about why these people have lost their health care. we did go through a thing called a recession. we lost millions of jobs. so the comeback is very clear. 30 million more people will have access to the exchanges, but let s get back to my original question. i need you to make the moral case to why a christian would believe that it is the right thing to do to deny health care to someone after a country has voted for it. that s the moral isn t it the moral position of a christian to take health caraway from people? because that s what your party wants to do, sir.
capitol hill and now the threat of the fill buster? i didn t know about the filibuster threat until you just mentioned it. that is a disappointment for sure. i m focused on four things. improving mental health services, getting universal background check with exceptions for family transactions, thirdly, to make sure that we increase the penalties for gun trafficking, which is a huge problem in our state with our proximities to mexico, and the last one which is very personal with me which is try to reduce the size of the magazines. the guy that shot us discharged 33 bullets in 19.6 seconds. and 19 people were shot. 6 dies. in the first 4.5 seconds, he shot myself, congresswoman giffords, judge roll and my colleague, gabe zimmerman. that kind of firepower really does not belong in civilian hands. i think we can defend ourselves in our homes with much smaller magazines. but a killing weapon with 33 bullets in the magazine is really something that can only
