today voters are electing their next governor. in new jersey democrats expected to take back governorship. phil murphy has a lead over kim guandano. virginia is the race everyone is watching. the campaign between ralph no h northapple and ted gilespie. donald trump tweeting from asia through his support behind gilespie. in one tweet he said he would turn around high crime and poor economic performance. the washington post noting unemployment has been consistently lower than the u.s. as a whole. of the 50 states only 13 have
improvement. and he also talked about negotiating a deal, which is what rex tillerson has been trying desperately to do, and he had he had bad-mouthed that effort. i thought today was a new tone and i hope one that will stay. but i m nervous about that. we were talking about this on the break. donald trump is somebody who doesn t like confrontation. he will say things from afar that he won t necessarily say face to face with someone. he s face to face with these asian leaders, south korea, japan, china. so it would stand to reason that he would not be as combative as he normally is. it s awkward to say, yes, we want to have a war over here where you people die. exactly, where seoul is going to get completely decimated. right. your op ed about north korea was sobering, to put it mildly. you were talking about the chances of potentially going to war being much greater than the american public seems to understand. that s right. i talked to a number of experts. and the ranges
to put more pressure on north korea is perfectly sound. but i also think it is extremely unlikely to succeed. so then, unless we can work out a deal some kind of a freeze for a freeze which i think secretary tillerson is trying to get, i think the north korea military would like to get but i think is probably unachievable because probably president trump wouldn t go for it and probably kim jong-un wouldn t go for it. then the alternative is we settle into long term deterrence in which they have the capacity to destroy los angeles, which is not an option we want. and one that donald trump says he won t stand for. he said he absolutely won t stand for it. and what do you have left, the other is war. you go around the north korean capital, payongyang, there are billboards showing the american capital being destroyed by north korean missiles. there is a lot of talk about war, and about president trump s
about his movements and who he might have been speaking to roana is the person to talk to. i don t know if either of the congressional committees have reached out to her or if bob mueller s investigation has reached out to her. rona graph has been a key fixture in donald trump s life, his business life, personal life and political life for years now. she stayed behind in new york at trump tower as the president moved to the white house. she connects everybody to him. she is the one who dials those phone calls. there are few people that are close to the president and have been for a while. hope hicks has been one of donald trump s closest to him. good to see you guys. thank you very much. a senior law enforcement official tells nbc news that the manhattan district attorney s office plans to present its case against harvey weinstein to a grand jury next week.
gilespie? how much of a factor do you think it will be depending on who northam whether or not minorities end up showing up for northam? just to put a finer point on that, this issue that gilespie faces here running on this sort of trumpism. look at the blue areas. this is the clinton/trump result. he basically got one out of every four votes coming out of these blue counties. here is a really good example. this is loudoun county. when he ran for the senate in 2014 he actually won loudoun county by a very small margin but won it. donald trump last year in the same county running against hillary clinton he lost it by 17 points. this part of the state really rejected trump, really rejected trumpisms. the question for gilespie is by running on trumpism is he going to fall to that minus 17 level in a place like loudoun county
