watkins and chris kofinas. start with you, joe. interesting stuff, wouldn t you say? very interesting stuff. i mean, this is a race this is a seat that s been held by the republicans for a while. tom price he had this seat, so it should be the republican seat. but the polling has showed it very, very close. ossoff has been doing very, very well in the polling so far. but turnout is what matters so it s all going to come down to who shows up on tuesday. i think handel has a good shot if she gets her voters to show up on tuesday. what does this mean, this sixth district in georgia and what may come of it? a lot of us trying to understand what the trump effect might mean for future races as we start that campaign season in september. well, i think there s a couple of ways to look at it. in the short term, you know, that we re even talking about a race that should be solid republican seat is indicative of how much this trump hangover is really starting to emerge.
still extraordinary. hillary clinton was not able to capitalize on that kind of turnout in her race in 2016. that s what really hurt her. 16 million less voters showed up for hillary clinton and that hurt her in north carolina and pennsylvania and wisconsin and wisconsin and michigan and the others. so it s going to matter here in this race. i mean, remember, this is a district that donald trump only won by about 1% in 2016. so this is not a heavily trump district as such but it is a strong republican district. and karen handel has branded herself as a ted cruz kind of republican, more in the mold of someone like sarah palin. she has been endorsed by sarah palin of course for numerous races and for this race. so she s really appealing to her base to come out and vote. and to show up on tuesday. yeah. and if the if it continues the way she has been, she has a shot to win this on tuesday. you were saying, chris, let s
i think jared and ivanka have their father and father-in-law s best interest at heart and they believe steve bannon is pushing him too far to the right. well, if everybody takes a look at saturday night live on their dvr from last night, they ll know jared kushner won america s next top strategist for this white house. guys, thanks so much. chris kofinas, robert traynham, good to s you at home. i m thomas roberts. am joy is coming up next. failed ballistic missile test out of north korea, what does the u.s. not understand about the show of force and what can be done to ease fears in the region? join next. .it starts a chain reaction. .that s heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected.
regardless whether or not you re curious or not, have the right to know if the president, a, is in debt, how much taxes he and his family pays, and thirdly, what type of deductions they take, and fourthly, what type of debts they mayo to a foreign government. that s the interest of full disclosure with respect to the president, for lack of a better term, having his hands on almost every single major decision that this country faces. it really is about transparencyhere, and i would hope that the president would stick by his own original word by saying he would release his taxes once the audit is done, but go a step further and release taxes even when an audit is under way. we ll see if 2016 happens. tax filing day upon us. the paid folks that trump alleges were out there, he s messed up before via tweets talking about paid protesters and had to mop that up later about the right to assembly and protest for all americans. chris, do you think that is going to come back to bite him? i m
adviser and chris kofinas. chris, you look tan like you ve been in vacation. have you been jaunting somewhere and relaxing? no, they did an extra special job on the makeup today. kudos to the d.c. makeup department. so let s talk about the electoral college. robert, yes, he did win the electoral college, but isn t that beside the point, because there are curious americans, whether they voted for him or not, that want to know whether or not there are any type of deep ties or debts owned to foreign countries. yes. full stop, he won the election. that was, obviously, almost six months ago. now it s time for governing, it s also time to maybe respect a little bit of precedent here. every single president, to my knowledge, since richard nixon has voluntarily released their tax forms, and even those under audit, as well. the reality, we as americans,
