do you define a party going into the next two years? we saw that in joe crowley s race. scott, let s talk more about this. what kind of a message first, your overall thoughts, but what kind of message does this send to republicans in this race? in the case of this new york race where crowley goes down, this might surprise you to hear me say it but i d like to let angela keep talking. the more liberal the democrats get that win the primaries if this race is a foreshadowing for a 2020 petitioner president, donald trump s going to win 49 states. there s no possible way to nominate people this far left and expect them to compete in a national election. she is way out of touch. i m not sure hang on. that was the reason i asked you a question where i said, does it work on the local and state level and how does it play nationally. go ahead i didn t mean to cut you off. there are a couple things, one thing i think david raised
it gets, he is hoping he s going to be able to claim victory in his primary here tonight, don. this is something that he didn t expect nobody in his family or anywhere else expect it, but the long-time serving senator from utah announced he was going to retire, he asked romney to consider running for his seat, and he is. this is something that is incredibly significant. when we re talking about the splits within each party, this is probably as kind of iconic as it gets. you, of course remember mitt romney went after donald trump in the heat and heart of the republican primary season, calling him a phony and a fraud, since certainly when the president was elected, he was considered for secretary of state. he s gone back and forth. the main reason mitt romney wants to go back to washington is because he feels like there needs to be a voice in that wing of the republican party.
just lost his primary election, in other words he s out. this is the big one that nobody saw happening. perhaps he should have been nicer and more respectful to his president. so, he lost because donald trump doesn t feel he was nice enough to him. it s nonsense. the republican candidate on long island who endorsed trump also lost. and here is what will unite democrats. it is the theme and story of the moment. this is a president who has defined the republican party through hatred. this is a party, who you can draw a direct line by the president from the central park five to calling mexicans rapist and criminals. from saying we re not going to allow muslims in the country, and haitians have aids. this is a president that injects hatred and divisiveness into the country. as a result of that, democrats have a better likelihood of
very very interesting time ead. does this say to you in some instance, and maybe on a macro level, that democrats, especially the strongest part of the party right now, i d imagine, they really want people ight back against this administration and its policies. i think that s definitely the case. i should say we should point out there are differences within the resistance. there s plenty of resistance that s not far left. this is definitely a sign the f very strong and they want a seat at the table. thank you very much. harry, dana and kaitlin. a major upset in new york, cnn projects alexandria cortez, a 21-year-old runner if the campaign. the most shocking upset of a political season. plus, president trump s travel ban may be watered down.
the 2018, for the so-called blue wave? can we read anything in there? i think, obviously at this point in the night, the most stunning election result is what we ve seen from representative joe crowley. the fact that he has been defeated from within his own party, a democratic leader defeated from within hiswn party from the left. now, this is something that we have seen for a decade among republicans. leaders and others who have been in office for many, many years being much more worried about their right flank than anything else. obviously, we ve heard from our colleagues that since a sentiment and sensibility has been growing inside the democratic party. but nothing is going to shock. and already i can tell you from
