know, democrats won last campaign by breaking the rules. he did it in the democratic primary and he did it in the general. the things we thought were unacceptable all of a sudden became acceptable in the campaign. democrats are sort of tired of playing nice. her folk with us on changing the rules was a good message. what we just witnessed, how does this allow her to distinguish herself? i agree with hilary. i thought the focus on the corruption message was a good one because i think it s probably the one issue that every democrat has agreed on. this is an administration that has the control and they need to take the fight to the administration on that particular issue. i think where elizabeth warren becomes a little more problematic is in this message which does resonate inside the democratic primary, the haves and the have nots and the
president trump s campaign already talking about warren saying, quote, the american people will reject dishonest campaign and socialist ideas like the green new deal that will raise taxes, kill jobs and crush america s middle class. here to weigh a team, doug and democratic con aimp con summittant and mr. david, chairman of go pac and gop strategists. gentlemen, thanks for joining me this afternoon. sure. gillian: doug, are democrats going to reject quote, unquote socialist ideas like president trump says they will, i think that s the big question? yeah, and i don t that that will be the issue for the democrats, certainly gillian as far as the electorate is concerned, very much up in the air whether people want 70% taxes on earned income, whether they want a wealth tax that she s proposed, whether the identity politics she s
people will reject her dishonest campaign ar socialist idea like the green new deal she talked about in her speech that will raise taxes. elizabeth warren talked about raising taxes. kill jobs and middle class and the statement left out some of the president s feelings as specifically towards elizabeth warren and his nickname to are her and we ll expect that in the next days and weeks if elizabeth warren rises in the polls. we want a temperature check how senator warren s announcement is received. we ve got two superstars to weigh in, our political panel of democratic strategists robin, and jessica ehrlich good evening good afternoon to both of you. rob robin, you, first, what about the tone, aspirational or enough is enough, did she get the balance right between the two?
research that supports this. immigration, whether it is of undocumented folks or legal, quot quote/unquote legal immigration, does not take from african-americans in america. oftentimes, the jobs that folks are willing to do are jobs, are lower skill jobs that are currently going unfilled. doesn t the president like to tout his job numbers and the record number of jobs that we currently have, quote unquote in america? well, there are jobs that are currently not filled. and so, i just don t know how he squares that argument. i think it is a sad attempt to pit folks against one another and i hope people understand that it s just it s a flat-out lie. david, let me give you some numbers. this is according to cnn analysis. nearly 40,000 people died by guns in the united states in 2017, an increase of more than 10,000 deaths since 1999. the u.s. has one of the highest rates of death by firearm in the
