i m going to tell the party i traditionally support the truth. i don t believe in lying to make people feel better like some of e trump supporters do. this is for you david, i ll put it up on the screen. the president says wow, big trump hater congressman joe crowley who many expected was going to take possessielosi s p just lost his primary election, in other words he s out. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. so, he lost because donald trump doesn t feel he was nice enough to him. it s nonsense. the republican candidate on long island who endorsed trump also lost. people will you night democrats, it is the theme and story of the moment. this is a president who has defined the republican party through hatred. this is a party, who you can draw a direct line by the president from the central park five to calling mexicans rapist
but i don t think it is really sunk in for a lot of these democrats in leadership and across the country how seismic of a moment this is for somebody as high in leadership as joe crowley is. as somebody who is was clearly reaching for the top job as potentially to be house speak speaker if democrats took over, to be toppled like this. it really is reminiscent of what we saw in 2010 when the tea party came in, and really what we saw of a slow awakening of these establishment republicans we re going to start see among establishment democrats. there s so many factors that went into joe crowley s surprise defeat. in some ways it was a perfect storm of the fact his opponent is woman and is everything t joe crowley is not in terms of gender and ethnicity but also in terms of just being other and
and it s just a seismic as i said, a seismic event for their party that republicans are just starting to deal with the as the new normal in their party. democrats are going to start to do as well. i ve talked to several democrats the past hour or so who really do say they were floored and that joe crowley did something that, you know, tends to be a fatal mistake, which is he says he took it seriously but perhaps he didn t talk up his own ability and his own record as much as he should have because she defined herself, and that s kind of 101 in politics. i want to get to another subject, but i have to and you, harry, when listening to dana there, and she s talking about democrats, what i hear is there aren t enough people in washington, not enough young people in politics. our representatives are so old. they don t understand us, they don t understand the browning of the country. maybe in the short-term they won t take that, but in the long-term everything is on their
democratic rank, more with liberal and progressive, along racial lines. you re seeing that in boston as well. i think you ll see more of this. before i bring the other guys in, do you thinkhat strategy, angela, seems to be working in a bunch of local, and maybe state races? what about on a national level, do you think nationally people are going to say, okay, at least for democrats, we want to country to be less progressive and have more liberal value instead of trying to reach out to the people that was said to have been missed? 2017? sure. it has national implications, you talked on the fact that joe crowley is in congressional leadership. i point to two states i think folks watch closely, the georgia governor, with stacy adams who ran against saytacy evans.
different. and that is very, very important thing for democrats to remember. and it s just aeismic as i said, a seismic event for their party that republicans are just starting to deal with the as the new normal in their party. democrats are going to start to do as well. i ve talked to several democrats the past hour or so who really do say they were floored and that joe crowley did something that, you know, tends to be a fatal mistake, which is he says he took it seriously but perhaps he didn t talk up his own ability and his own record as much as he should have because she defined herself, and that s kind of 101 in politics. i want to get to another subject, but i have to and you, harry, when lning to dana there, and she s talking about democrats, what i hear is there aren t enough people in washington, not enough young people in politics. our representatives are so old.
