wall, paul. and the threats. he s been terrific. now if he ever goes against me, i won t say that, okay? when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. in 37 days donald trump will become president of these united states. we have breaking news tonight. two senior intelligence officials tell nbc news that russian president vladimir putin was involved in efforts to disrupt the u.s. presidential election. that conclusion is based on intelligence from diplomatic sources and others including spies working for america s allies. that comes on top of growing consensus in the intelligence community in the u.s. that russia was behind multiple large scale attacks on democratic institutions and operatives producing fodder for countless embarrassing and politically damaging stories at the height of the presidential election. the in the just had amazing reporting on the alleged scope of the russia cyber attacks which targeted the democratic national committee ch
here which is to not lose the senate. you know, i think it s clear that as the republicans, i think john boehner is playing to the tea party crowd with this lawsuit. he s not giving them legislation. he also hears calls for impeachment from his side. he knows, as does the white house, that nothing would help obama s democratic prospects in the fall better than a real impeachment campaign mounted by republicans. look what happened with the thad cochran race this week. the if you start attacking obama directly in a lot of ways, it will get the base riled up. that will work. so today or yesterday, the day they announced the lawsuit which isn t really real yet. the democratic campaign committee for house candidates raised the most money in a single day than ever before. well, yeah. that s something i want to figure out here. you mention think of it this
harvard law school and successful lawyer. extraordinary story for women, story for texas and extraordinary story for anybody. she s going to play that big. just quickly, the money game, abbott has $25 million, her number certainly will build but that s a big gap as well. we know the money counts. money does count. texas an expensive state to run television. her people think there won t be any problem with raising $25 million. but she ll probably need $40 million. the question is whether some big donors come through, especially national democrat donors next summer. we ll see what happens next. it s a hot one in texas. thank you, sir. still ahead, gop donors speaking of big money, revolting against the tea party led shutdown. one donor telling the daily beast he s embarrassed to be a republican and refuses to raise money for house candidates. will this have an impact? plus, from bad to worse, pennsylvania s governor in severely hot water after trying
people who voted for a republican congressional candidate, it looks like this. look. about 1.5 million more votes for democrats than for republicans. and yet, republicans maintained control of the house. fewer people overall voted for them, but they still won more seats! nice trick. here s how that looked state by state, and this is kind of nuts. in the great state of michigan, more than 2.25 million people voted for democratic house candidates. just over 2 million people voted for republican candidates. the results of democrats getting lots more votes is that republicans got lots more seats! the democrats won just five seats and republicans got nine. democrats got more votes and fewer seats in. across the lake in wisconsin, same deal. more wisconsin voters voted for democrats, but republicans get two more seats than the democrats did. in pennsylvania, republicans won almost three times as many seats as democrats. in virginia, womens got 4% more
simultaneously to campaign for public support. very different strategy than he used in his first term, isn t it? well, yeah. i think the lesson really here for both obama and for congress is that voters want people to come to the table and find compromise on whatever the issue, whether it s climate change, whether it s reducing gun violence, whether it s jobs or the deficit. voters want to see people coming to the table and you ve had a lot of republicans in congress who have had this really failing strategy of just saying no to everything, and it s cost them. it s cost them elections, cost them the presidency, cost them in the senate, and it s cost them support for republican house candidates. the president of americans for prosperity which is of course the conservative super pac founded by the koch brothers issued a statement. the president s address read like a liberal laundry list with global warming at the top. americans have rejected environmental extremism in the past and th
