yeah, i think you can expect that. look, that s not the kind of ad that you do in multiple takes, but i think you can expect democrats to be creative in firing up their base, and they don t really need to draw out everyone who voted for hillary clinton because mid-term turnout drops off so dramatically. we re going to get our first couple hints of how this is playing out in districts in georgia six, montana special election, and we ll even see the margin in the south carolina five special election. so there are some indicators here. of course, 18 months is an eternity in politics, but republicans are at risk right now in several dozen districts. david wasserman, as always, thanks so much for your analysis. thanks, michael. what are your thoughts? keep tweeting me @smerconish and hitting the facebook page. here s something that came in
keep tweeting me @smerconish and commenting on my facebook page. back to facebook we go. what do we have, katherine? do you think we should black out right before an election? laura, i don t think we would be able to sustain it. there s just something, i m sure, about the french and the french society and their media that allows them to honor that agreement. i think it would be very, very difficult in the united states to get similar cooperation. it s an interesting concept though and i don t rule it out. ahead, is the left overplaying its hand in opposing president trump? whatever happened to when they go low, we go high? and the gop celebrated after the house squeaked through a new health care plan this week, but in doing so, have they just handed the democrats a huge gift for the mid-terms?
what are your thoughts? keep tweeting me @smerconish and hitting the facebook page. here s something that came in via twitter. unfortunately trump s campaign antics made it easy for some on the left to take the bait and sink to the same level. bad for all. brian, that s part of my point, and i know there s going to be huge blowback from the commentary i just delivered. that s fine. but i m also saying i don t think it s effective as a political strategy to fight him at his level. that s what i m arguing. still to come, we still don t know what s in 3,600 classified documents about the kennedy assassination, but a 1992 law required they be released by this october. will it happen? well, get this. the power rests with a certain president who once accused ted cruz s father of being involved. and hillary clinton says fbi director james comey s letter to congress just before the election suggesting more trouble with her e-mail may have tipped the scale for her loss. i want to talk to
appreciate it. let s check in on facebook and twitter and see what so many of you are thinking. you need to stop your flip-flop. one week you re all in for trump, the next week you call him out. stephanie, i m not a flip-flopper. i m consistent in my innocen independence. i call them as a see them. if i see something that s wrong, errant, bad, i say so. if i have a critique of the way the left is reacting to him as i did today like stephen colbert, i m going to offer you that as well. week in and week out i seem to alienate just about everybody. do we have time for one more? hit me with another twitter if you ve got it. smerconish, god bless comey. i m not sure what to make of that, james owen but i ll tell you this. i don t think he had his thumb on the scale trying to impact the election outcome. i have done a great deal of reading on this subject and i think he was trying to act in a best way that preserved integrity for the fbi. those are my thoughts. up next, the intrigue abou
magazines here reported they had been through some of it and it was pretty mundane stuff. so it is kind of curious. what kind of damage it will have, probably minimal at this point because it s so late and the voters really don t have anything to base their vote on, at least as far as these e-mails are concerned. and jim, finally, macron is the prohibitive favorite but of course we learned from brexit, we learned from the election of donald trump particularly where there s a populist candidate involved, those polls aren t always accurate. reporter: well, there is at least one way that marine le pen could, in fact, sort of upset the polling here and that s if people don t turn up at the polls tomorrow, if they don t vote, if they abstain. but basically all the polls agree macron is the favorite going into tomorrow s election. jim bittermann, thank you. we appreciate your reporting. keep tweeting me @smerconish and commenting on my facebook
