ocala, florida, bring in my political panel. juana summers and a.b. stoddard, editor for real clear politics and david nokima for the washington post. kellyanne conway is saying, speaker ryan has a job to do. okay? she knows that. this is someone who s one of donald trump s closest advisors, juana, who knows speaker ryan has a job to do. not just concerned about donald trump. he s turned his attention now to hanging on to the house which it almost seems nuts he has to concentrate on that, with the big majority they have. what does that tell you about what s going on inside of the trump campaign right now? first of all, kellyanne conway has been in the game so to speak a long time and understands what paul ryan s role is. what paul ryan said he d do, focus solely on keeping control of the house is what he s done all along. right? scrapped an appearance with he and donald trump. never seen them appear together. the only thing that strikes me
home, you saw president obama talking, republicans leaders, where have they been? now distancing themselves. favoring democrats, well established. you re seeing president obama continue to talk about that point. going to ohio and pennsylvania tomorrow. doing radio interviews. this is a a strategy that i think democrats think they can build on this and republicans don t seem to be, because they re protecting their own individual seats. they don t seem too concerned or can t figure a way past it and think how to win a presidential election. david, a.b., juana, thank you all. great panel today. and donald trump plummeting poll numbers, talking about this. kpo make election night a nightmare for republicans. not just the white house they re worried about. talking about the doomsday scenario for the gop. donald trump taking down republican candidates in down ballot races, turning over congress. both chambers for the democrats. your insurance company
forward. manu raju, thank you for the report. back with our political panel sorting through this fallout we re seeing here. juana summers, a.b. stoddard and dave icmawina. i remember an aide that said to me, looking at the majority in the house, because of the way state legislatures are controlled by republicans and able to create districts in a certain way that in the absence of that, at times in recent years, the republicans actually should be in the minority, but they re in the majority and so they find themselves in this sort of odd situation, and it kind of gums up the works. but that s not going to change. so what is the way forward here for republicans? i think david made a great point before the break. we re heading into, no matter who wins at the top of the ticket in november what s going to be a pretty depressing, frankly, era of congress with not a lot of room for compromise
