pennsylvania and michigan. bill: republicans the governors ran away with the races. ron desantis and mike dewine and abbott in texas, kemp in georgia. not much of a challenge with stacey abrams despite all the attention that race got despite the money that went into the race as well. here is marco rubio last night on these what he sees as republican shifts with sean hannity. people are moving here they want to get away from the lunacy. it is what s happening to people that don t identify with the republican party. who don t want schools indoctrinateing their kid. firsthand experience with socialism and don t want it in this country. put those issues ahead and they ll punish them. he is right about that in florida and also in the state of new york in the house seats. i was looking at numbers from a few years ago. andrew cuomo won an election in new york by 29 points. who knew? that s astounding. zeldin lost by five.
this moment, the lot loss of your daughter. tell us how you feel after it the session with marco rubio last night and after what you saw the president saying. i feel optimistic after last night because of the kids. these kids have been heroic. they have been spectacular. in your open, i think i heard someone refer to them as victims. maybe they were referring to me as a victim. i m not sure. these kids are heroic, they are not victims. the only victims are the 17 which include my daughter who were hunted and killed, murdered, at their school. i m horrified by the inability of people who have an agenda to not simply say the truth, to not simply acknowledge how my daughter died.
people buy into my agenda come on, we re going to be here all night. the influence of each group comes not from money. the influence comes from the millions of people that agree with the agenda. that s a good story to pedestripedal. that s marco rubio last night with survivors of last week s shooting. he argued it can t be solved with gun laws alone. he repeated, banning all semi-auto weapons may have been popular with the audience at cnn town hall, but outside the mainstream. his position on gun rights has been consistent since he took office. he s received, by the way, more than $3.3 million in nra donations or support during his political career, according to the center for responsive politics. he has an a-plus rating from the
62%, laura, that is an indication perhaps why these outsiders are doing so well. you want to know why they re doing so well in the polls. we heard marco rubio last night, i think he was with you, he said we need 67 votes, and then we need the presidency. i think a lot of people are saying, look, we like you but you say you can t do anything unless you have the house, and the senate. they want something, a substantive plan by the republicans saying they will work morning, noon and night to make things better for americans. and the fact that they made the promises of all the things we ll do when we get control of the house and senate. but their agenda, from the 2010 election, the 2014 election, was all about what they were not. we re not obama, instead of being for something. so not only are people
you think we are going to see that change. i think that donald trump has done a lot to bring that flavor of the month to the fore. i look back and maybe i m older than some of the other folks in the room but in my lifetime i don t think i have seen a president who has been a true outsider. and i you think you are going to see the candidates with more experience come to the front. whether it s a jeb bush or a marco rubio and i will tell you i was very impressed with marco rubio last night. why? i think he had a command of foreign policy. i am going to challenge the idea that we haven t had an outsider before. our president that sits in the office right now was an outsider. very few people had heard of him. he had been in the senate only a few months before he decided he was ready to be president. the problems and difficulties that america experiences right now i think largely come because he really wasn t prepared for the job. so when i walch the debate what i was interested in
