result of the republican drive to advance an unpopular piece of legislation. we ve already got our first campaign commercial. tom perriello, running for governor in virginia for a democratic primary, roll the film and we ll make an observation. republican leaders are trying to do this to affordable health care. in congress i voted for obamacare because it was wrong that 1 million virginians weren t covered, while insures companies hold all the power. now i m running for governor because it s wrong that most virginia incomes haven t gone up in 20 years. together we can stop donald trump, raise wages and build an economy that works for everyone. and we ll make sure this never happens in virginia. hey, david, the question i have about the ad, was that a green screen, and if not, did he nail it in one take? and how many ambulances did they have lined up if he stumbled over his lines? but more seriously, is that a sign of what s to come?
casserman joins me now. david, there are 23 republicans sitting in districts won by hillary, and 14 of them voted for this. they re the most vulnerable, right? that s correct. including seven in california alone. these are the types of districts that democrats need to win back if they have any chance of winning the house, and they re not sufficient on their own, they ll need to go into trump territory to actually flip control of the house. but if you have a democratic base that s really fired up and a republican base that is less fired up, the reverse of what we saw in 2010, then it could happen. you also noted in your piece that democrats run a risk. i thought this was fascinating. they run a risk in some parts of the country if they start calling it trump care because that could actually make it more popular. that s right. because some of the least popular provisions of the republican health care bill are less popular than trump. trump is at about 40% approval right now.
