fuentes four times as much in 2016. it s so reliably red there wasn t a democrat on the ballot in the last two the congressional elections out there. the cook political report dave wasserman summed it up, there are 147 gop held house seats right now, less republican than the arizona 8. it s time to start rethinking how many of those are truly safe in november. in fact the new york times reports republicans have lost support in every special election since trump took office including the ones they won. president trump put a good face on results congratulating lesko on twitter saying debbie will do a great job. press is so silent. but president trump may have something bigger to worry about this fall. that s next with the hardball roundtable. isn t top of mind. that s because they have a shield annuity from brighthouse financial, which allows them to take advantage of growth opportunities in up markets, while maintaining a level of protection in down markets.
