president trump singing the praises of republican senators that held the majority, actually increased the majority in the senate, but when it comes to the house and the 37 seats lost by the republicans, the president had this to say. i didn t run. i was not running. my name was not on the ballot. there are many people that think i don t like congress that like me a lot. i get it all the time, sir, we will never vote until you are on the ballot. i get it all the time. i say, go and vote. what do you mean? as much as i try and convince people to go and vote i am not on the ballot. joining me now is simone sanders, the national press secretary for bernie sarah sanders and former special assistant to george w. bush, scott jennings. the president just told chris wallace i was not on the ballot,
