country. you know, but again, the other thing you see in orange county is people are winning by impressive margins. but we also need to pay attention to how they campaign, the fact that people stayed very close to the ground, ran good ground games, stayed close to voters, close to issues voters carried about and were talking about things like health care, which people really care about. there s a bigger takeaway, i think, which i thought was nailed well with the piece, trump s base isn t enough. basically the idea is yes we ve all heard about his base for two years, it s a remarkable thing, how attached his base is to him, it s amazing what they ll forgive. it s not a majority of the country. that s the brute fact of the matter. right. and democrats need to remember that. his base is very strong in the primaries, so that s where you have republicans running scared and republicans who used to be moderate and somewhat sensible sort of saying and doing things
can out of it? or can that joyride keep up for two more years? we do know, trump doesn t have much of a more than for error. 77,000 votes across three states was all it took to make him president in 2016. that may be all it takes to deny him reelection. still, if the democratic celebration has been a little sub subdued after these midterms, there s a good reason for it. you don t have to look far in the rearview mirror to find presidents who have recovered from worse. all in with chris hayes starts right now. tonight on all in . it s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. because you d be in jail. breaking news from the new york times, donald trump wanted to order the prosecutions of james comey and hillary clinton. lock her up is right. what we know about why the president was stopped, the new implications for the mueller probe, as the president submits
the fact that she said i m going to go to all 159 counties in this state, i m going to talk to everybody, i m going to unabashedly talk about who i am and what i care about and i think she also sent a message that you can do that and win, and we have to get away from these labels about, you know, expanding medicaid as a liberal issue or a conservative issue, it s a human issue. it s an issue that people care about. but i think what the party has to pay attention to is, if you look at what beto accomplished, what stacey accomplished all across this country where you have now new volunteers, new grassroots donors, new voters. her campaign identified 1.4 million democrats, potential democrats, and went out and set out a year and a half before the election to register those people, motivate those people, stay in contact with those people and turn people out. that s what the party has to do all across the country over the next two years. so you re talking about showing up in places, missi
another day, another federal judge telling the trump administration they re completely out of line. this summer you ll remember a federal judge overturned part of an executive order that made it easier to fire federal workers. last night, another federal judge ordered the administration to start accepting asylum claims from people coming into the country no matter where they enter. just days after the election the president claimed his administration would stop accepting asylum claims from migrants if they did not come through a port of entry. the ninth circuit pointed out, whatever the scope of the president s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition congress has expressly forbidden. trump called the ruling a disgrace and vowed to put in a
action problem, right? this is the thing that i think people break up on, which is california s probably doing more than any other state in the union on this, right? they ve cut emissions while they ve lowered unemployment rate and increased economic growth. they re doing it. but that s just california doing it is not enough. right. and it feels bad if you re in new york and you re doing it or not doing it in new jersey or pennsylvania, let alone china or russia. but, look, i think what we re hearing now is right there. there is a rising generation of people in this country and around the world that recognizes we can t do business as usual anymore. we need some flufl change. and what i see teaching on a college campus, when i talk to younger people in general is a real passion for dealing with. this it s an emerging emergency social issue. that s true. and the problem is we can t leave them a problem that is insurmountable. so we have this window for action. and i think you re ri
