president trump. i will say, i am surprised, i m going to say this, but actually she gave some of the best political advice, any democrats could give because we re sitting here, again, it s a wonky discussion about medicare for all versus mending obamacare. very very important. but that s not where voters are right now. voters are scared. they re scared of donald trump. they see something happening to their country that they ve never seen in their lifetime, and they don t they ll have some discussions, yes, tell me where you stand. but it is. it is a much bigger threat to this country. and i think americans want somebody up there. ronald reagan was brilliant at it, bill clinton was brilliant doing it. barack obama, the same. they want somebody that rises above brookings institute versus heritage foundation policy battle to talk about the bigger battle against racism, against
it is wednesday, july 31st, and think. joe, you know, that gets to a busy day it is, so let s get the point of the biggest winner last night, and i think a lot of started. one debate down and another to people would think that the go. tonight we re going to see part biggest winner last night was 2 of this democratic substance because they actually presidential debate and a lot of what we expect to see tonight discussed health care legislation in some detail, and will have to do with what we saw last night in part 1. elizabeth warren, she has a grasp of details that she it was packed with fiery moments manages to articulate in very from health care to immigration to economics. the idealogical divide between short bytes. the progressives and the 30 and 60 second bytes i think moderates within the democratic that resonate with people, and party was front and center. i think democrats win when we as far as the biggest problem in washington, i think it was going to revert to what s goin
it s me against trump. and the more you can sell that, the more voters may see and put you in that position. i think the real reason last night that elizabeth warren and even bernie sanders came off very well is that people saw, wait a minute, they can get on the stage and take trump on. by them being able to, in a very rational and passionate way defend their policies whether you consider it too far left or not, gave america the opportunity to say, they can go hand in hand with donald trump in combat, not lose their composure skp composure and answer in a policy manner and that s what s important. these are preliminaries no matter how entertaining they are, you ve got to use this to show the world you re ready for the main bout, if in fact, you are. and by the way, if i m a democrat sitting in the chair or i m an independent sitting
you re sticking to your candidacy for president of the united states. what is it going to take to breakthrough and raise those poll numbers above 2%? i m so glad you asked and that you asked specifically about polls because yesterday there was a really exciting poll that came out from texas. it had each of the major democratic candidates in a head-to-head match up with donald trump in the state of texas, and far and away, we were ahead of everyone with 11 points over donald trump. as you know, there are 38 electoral college votes in texas. that beats donald trump in november of 2020 and it forever changes the e llectoral landsca in the united states of america. we can put texas in play, and further more, we can win texas. i m going to make sure that the rest of america hears that story because the number one priority for voters right now is defeating donald trump in 2020. so congressman, i m glad you brought that up.
