amy klobuchar s at the top of the list but claire mccaskill reminded me last night she invoked trump s name not to contrast herself or any of the democrats with him necessarily but to talk about electability in trump districts. if you can t see this, tim ryan seven, jay inslee four. elizabeth warren front-runner at zero. i found that surprising for two reasons. one, democrats have a better chance of winning if they make the 2020 general election a referendum on donald trump and trumpism. and everything that s gone off the rails during his presidency. but they also elizabeth warren s rise in the polls happened at the same time she became one of the less most clear and strong and passionate voices calling for donald trump s impeachment. right. look, i agree with you, nicolle, in the sense i thought there would be more mention of donald trump given democrats love to hate the president and there s a lot of easy applause lines to be gotten by attacking him. i think it s most surprising
the auditorium, if you will, how come they don t react to that? they seemed to be willing to cheer the usual progressive, you know, applause lines, but they didn t seem to be applauding the idea of, hey, we can actually beat trump if we do certain things. that s my campaign, how do you begin to convince people, yeah, i m with you on these issues, too. but if we re going to connect to working class people, we can t just talk about $15 an hour jobs. you re for, we re all for. you better tack about 30, 40, $50 an hour jobs. white people voted for trump. african-american voters stayed home. we have to talk about economic issues. can you bring ohio in? yes, sir. we can win ohio. we can win the industrial midwest. i tell you if we have a brand that surrounds ohio, youngstown, ohio, we can surround mitch mcconnell. they know your state and list of people like that. we re talking about what s going to decide their vote. what are they saying? they re saying don t overlook
tickets? i agree with that. i m asking you. i believe it. you made a lot of news. there should be diversity. new york state ticket. yes. we should let me go. i m getting caught here. brian, back to you, sir. made it sound like it was me. i m being called by our control room to scurry to a break. and as i do so, here s the lead in politico. elizabeth warren had her moments to shine. beto o rourke spoke spanish out of nowhere, then sparred with julian castro. amy klobuchar got one of the biggest applause lines of the night. that s the opening graph of the action as we all witnessed it tonight. a quick break for us. we ll go back down to chris. ooft candidates are lining up to come on the air with us. ooft candidates are lining up to come on the air with us. maria ramirez?
saw a shift with candidates looking to get those applause lines. there are a number of different reasons and joe biden who is not wanting to attack his government. his performance will be pivotal. zwr thank you so much. tolu, thank you so much. get some sleep today and we ll do it again tomorrow. 41 minutes past the hour. which 2020 candidate says we should stay out of the nuclear dealing with iran? cnn live in tehran next. since you re heading off to dad. i just got a zerowater. but we ve always used brita. it s two stage-filter. doesn t compare to zerowater s 5-stage. this meter shows how much stuff, or dissolved solids, gets left behind.
the other democrats didn t today. you talked about working people in not cool parts of the country, not from the coast, not from the ivy league. and you i thought you talked about how you could actually win an election against donald trump. yeah. get into the industrial midwest, connect the working-class people, change the brand of the people away from the coasts and the ivy leagues. that s not going to work for us. especially against donald trump. so if you want to win western pa, you want to win ohio, michigan, wisconsin of course, but if you certainly want to try to win the senate back your brand better be we re for the working class. why does the crowd tonight in the auditorium, if you will, how come they don t react to that? they seem to be willing to cheer the usual progressive applause lines but they didn t seem to be applauding the idea that hey, we could actually beat trump if we do certain things. well, that s my campaign, is how do you begin to convince people that y
