these labels about, you know, expanding medicaid as a liberal issue or a conservative issue, it s a human issue. it s an issue that people care about. but i think what the party has to pay attention to is, if you look at what beto accomplished, what stacey accomplished all across this country where you have now new volunteers, new grassroots donors, new voters. her campaign identified 1.4 million democrats, potential democrats, and went out and set out a year and a half before the election to register those people, motivate those people, stay in contact with those people and turn people out. that s what the party has to do all across the country over the next two years. so you re talking about showing up in places, mississippi is a place people don t expect democrats to win. there s a contested race. debate between cindy hyde smith and mike espy. context, she negotiated, she
to beat an incumbent in this year? you know, it is tough, as you know, beating an incumbent, entrenched elected official and unelected bureaucrats. we are bringing change. we have a message of change and hope to the people of hawaii that the 60 years of democrat rule should come to an end, we re motivated by the same issues that you ve been speaking about all day today. on the mainland. that motivate the grassroots donors. dana: let me ask you about the impact of the president s trade war on hawaii. as i understand it, the mack damia nuts that we love is one of your major crops, 15% tariff there. estimated value of that crop is almost 54 million dollars. china is the second largest export partner. largest export from hawaii to china in 2017, fuel, aircraft parts and many others things like that. is that having an impact on the
$1.67 times and $5 twice. at the head of the state republican party says he was trying to make it seem like he has a lot more support from small donors, grassroots donors, small dollar grassroots donors i should say. a campaign aide tells fox news it s pretty standard to reach out to a campaign s network people for support. the company that owns the las vegas whole from which a gunman mgm resorts international is suing the victims of that slaughter. 58 killed, hundreds injured. now come the lawsuits. not just from victims, but also from mgm resorts, which is launching a preemptive attack hoping to stem itself from liability stemming from a
why is the nra so successful? why do they have so much money? the gop, as i go down the line name after name, they take loads of money from the nra. why is this our country? they take a lot of money from the nra, but that money primarily comes from grassroots donors. so while gun companies are putting a lot of money into the nra, the majority is from mom and pop donors who support gun rights. so you have an incredibly powerful voting constituency that their lobby is essentially the most effective grassroots lobby in the country. the nra was loyal early to donald trump. he, as a manhattanite, might have been for gun control. now he s completely in with the nra because he s seen what they can deliver. they gave him money and they deliver votes, too. all right. tolo, isn t this the perfect opportunity, i know i ve said it before, for president trump to pivot? this seems like low-hanging fruit. these bump stocks, my gosh, to take a regular rifle and turn it
