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 thecorr? i certainly would agree with the idea democratic leadership is old. joe crowley was the youngest one among them. the democratic party has changed since those people came into power. it s not just about ideology buts representation, who the democratic base is. and it s becoming a much more diverse democratic base. and i think the lesson from that is learning from bernie sanders said, with young peopl bernie sanders isn t young, but he had a very young coalition. who was that trying to get in? was that ryan? it was me, don. oh, alice, sorry. one thing i was going to say this is classic case of these incumbent members, elected fo e
i think i hear one of mitt romney s sons starting to speak behind me. i ll toss it back to you. dana stand by. i want to brink harry back in. let s talk about the democrats because i want to know what this win for the atic party. i m wondering in this race in new york here, is that some indication we are going to be looking at the whole or at least a lot of possibilities? i think we could be looking at a lot of new and younger folks. joe crowley is the youngest leader in the seat. nancy pelosi, the leader of the democrats, is getting up there in age. chuck schumer is not a young man, either. i think there s a lot of energy, not just on the left side but a lot of people. when you have a 28-year-old latina woman fighting and looking like she has won that race, indicates to me there s a lot of balls going on jumping in the air, i think it could be a
the 2018, for the so-called blue wave? can we read anything in there? i think, obviously at this point in the night, the most stunning election result is what we ve seen from representative joe crowley. the fact that he has been defeated from within his own party, a democratic leader defeated from within hiswn party from the left. now, this is something that we have seen for a decade among republicans. leaders and others who have been in office for many, many years being much more worried about their right flank than anything else. obviously, we ve heard from our colleagues that since a sentiment and sensibility has been growing inside the democratic party. but nothing is going to shock. and already i can tell you from

good points about the identity of the democratic party. you just brought up pelosi, i would say what happened today or yesterday. maxine waters who some of us call queen maxine or aunte maxine, a celebrated hero and how she s been treated in the house is demonstrative of the type of battle that is going on. you hav the dnc chair who said, they re not going to endorse in any races, endorse in a gubernatorial primary in new york. so, we re running into the same mistakes over and over again. i m not opposed to having a family conversation on the big screen, scott. 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 the 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 pelosi s place
