do you define a party going into the next two years? we saw that in joe crowley s race. scott, let s talk more about this. what kind of a message first, your overall thoughts, but what kind of message does this send to republicans in this race? in the case of this new york race where crowley goes down, this might surprise you to hear me say it but i d like to let angela keep talking. the more liberal the democrats get that win the primaries if this race is a foreshadowing for a 2020 petitioner president, donald trump s going to win 49 states. there s no possible way to nominate people this far left and expect them to compete in a national election. she is way out of touch. i m not sure hang on. that was the reason i asked you a question where i said, does it work on the local and state level and how does it play nationally. go ahead i didn t mean to cut you off. there are a couple things, one thing i think david raised
side, is that correct? i certainly would agree with the idea democratic leadership is old. joe crowley was the youngest one g 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 people. 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 officials, you cannot phone it in.
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 his own 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 blank than anything else. obviously, we ve heard from our colleagues that since a sentiment and sensible has been growing inside a democratic party, but nothing is going to shock. and already i can tell you from talking to sources inside the house democratic caucus, it s already sending major shock waves through their rank. joe crowley is the conference
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 values instead of trying to reach out to the people that was said to have been missed in 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 stacy evans. up against two conservative folks there who supported trump. then you also have the florida race where andrew gillim just pulled ahead. you re going to see more of that. there s historical implications, as well. two african-american candidates, soon to become the first african-american women governor in the history of the united
i ll toss it back to you. dana stand by. i want to brink harry back in. leta let s talk about the democratsbs will mean for the democratic 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. 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 latino 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 very very interesting time ahead. does this say to you in some
