strategy writing they play obama and make sure he s reaching out to vote who like imas opposed to putting him in the south where his numbers are quite poor. let s talk about the south, one race democrats have their eyes on is texas. you got ted cruz, beto o rourke. there is a big debate tonight. when i see this as well the democrats could flip this. i think in 2016 when hillary was campaigning in texas, that was blowout there. is it a real chance for democrats to take that seat? number one, if liberal hoax could help determine a winner, beto o rourke would be ahead. there is some poll tag indicates o rourke is closer than i might expect. yes, there was a quinnipiac poll that had them up by double digits. it sults a much tighter race to me o rourke has a shot of winning, texas is texas. cruz is most likely going to
help to cruz in texas. that being sid, cruz recognizes he needs a good republican turnout and cruz is quite popular with the republican base. thanks for making us smarter. i do try. president trump on the air this morning, attacking christine blasey-ford s choice to come forward 36 years after the alleged assault.
pull out the victory. let me ask you this, on the generic ballot, a preference for democrats over the generic ballot, is there a marker there that makes a race like this competitive? oftentimes, i ll hear smart folks like you say it s a 10% difference, they can turn the race, is that relevant or is it more local? i mean it s both. right. senate races are more local than house races are, believe it or not. but if i were to pick a specific number, i d probably say democrats need to be winning on the generic ballot by 11 or 12 points nationally for o rourke to have a shot at winning. right now the democratic lead in the average of polls is closer to around 9 percentage points. it s below the threshold o rourke needs to pull out the victory in texas. let s talk about president trump 57b ted cruz, not the friendliest of friends in the past. let s show our viewers for a reminder. there cruz doesn t have it. he will never be good as what he
does. donald doesn t like strong women. strong women scare them. real men don t try to bully women. it s an action of a small and petty man who is intimidated by strong women. he don t have one republican for backing you, not one. you don t have the endorsement. you work with these people. you should be ashamed of yourself. are you all talk and no action. what i seen up, here, first of all this guy is a joke artist and a liar. there was the time that trump also accused ted cruz father of being involved in the kennedy assassination. i m not making that up. now they seem to have put those differences aside, can trump help? is he helping cruz in texas? i ll say politics makes for australian him bed fellows, that for sure. look, trump s numbers, in fact, really aren t that good, in fact, if you look at that quinnipiac poll that had cruz ahead, trump s net approval rating was exactly zero or plus one or minus one. so i don t think trump is a real
and now no. and now you re laid back. hey, baby. hey. on ward, mr. trump. on ward, right? no. it s great. it s beautiful. in other words, you ve won and you feel great about it and you don t have to go totally wild. right? [cheers and applause] much different. it s much different. [chanting u.s.a.] no, it s much different. you are laid back, and that s good. this is not exactly laid back but it s pretty laid back. so we had to win pennsylvania. it started off with ohio. big, big victory. and the one i like to tell is texas, georgia, and utah,
