family is marching in this women s march, i believe something like 4 million people marched across america. out of the female population of the united states, that s about 2.5%. it s not just that mrs. comey is a hillary voter, it s that she s and the hardest hard-core of the late partisan s. andrew mccabe s wife is a democrat candidate in virginia. again, these aren t just people who pick candidate a or a candidate be come out there in the hardest hard-core of partisans and comey and mccabe s tenure at the fbi was marked by a bizarre, grotesque partisanship that is far closer to obstruction of justice if you look at the way lynch behaved, mccabe behaved, comey behaved,
message, takes it from party unity and it makes it a lot easier for democrats to make a case that this guy is unstable and republicans are getting anything done in washington. melissa: on the flip side of that because that is accurate but he was also battling steve bannon from the right and he was also battling people within his own party, and he has eliminated one of those threats. so as not like you re going to have steve bannon out there having something happen like what happened in alabama. i think that s right but you have to remember, these elections are going to come down to two names or multiple names on the ballot. right now, there s a lot of speculation in terms of generic ballots and general feelings. when it comes to candidate a who supports tax cuts and wants tougher security versus candidate b who wants higher taxes and slower growth in a weaker defense, those are very powerful positions to begin in the other thing that s really important to remember is that republica
she s led all along is small. impossible, no? but it s still a very small chance he could flip all of those states in less than a week. i tell you what, i m all about momentum. and right now to your point the electoral college map, north carolina, wisconsin, colorado let me put it this way. if i m choosing between candidate a and candidate b, structurally i rather be candidate a which hillary clinton is. candidate b, if i have the momentum and i m chasing somebody and it s bad story after bad story after bad story because we ve seen structurally how things have changed so quickly. i hate to say this, but i ve been saying that for three weeks. we were talking about georgia and texas last week. he s going to be humiliated. this is going to be worse he

bush can come back and right now i don t see it, nicole. i don t see historical precedence, i can t think of a historical president just looking at the numbers and putting candidates abcdefg attached candidate a s numbers to donald trump and put it in a formula and good luck with anybody finding a historical president. i think last time a race might have been changed was after september 11th when fear overtook and made some voters available to a republican message about the patriot act in 2000 to midterms about the need to fight terrorist abroad as opposed to letting them come to the homeland. i think that might be the more appropriate analogy with an inappropriate reaction.
