these days. well, maybe she ll get an even bigger job in this administration. there s also been pressure on ben sass of nebraska to mount a primary challenge. he s said the prospect is pretty unlikely. what are the odds that you will launch a primary challenge to president trump or run as an independent and run for president yourself in 2020? i think the odds are a lot higher that i run for the noxious weed control board in nebraska. i lived on a bus for 16 months five years ago. in my mind i have flash backs of a lot of kid puke on the floor of a bus. i don t think a lot about what job i have. i m pretty happy living in nebraska and going to d.c. five days a week trying to serve the best way i can. that was the nice image. yeah. flash backs from the noxious weeds. i don t even know where to go here. i don t see it. i think there s a void right now
sit there and say and look at everything going on in the country, why do i need this? look at followers, engaged followers on facebook. oprah is in a different st stratosphere. she has more she s not running. i used to say this about collin powell. someone said he always looks good. the minute he comes out an guns, he loses half the people. then abortion rights. then by the time you re done, you ve lost almost everybody. rudy giuliani learned that in 2008. i love this. it s going to matter soon. up next, signs of life for democrats in the midwest. many of the states that flipped red for trump two years ago flipped back blue this time. how serious a threat is that to trump s reelection? how good does that look for somebody from the midwest? amy klobuchar is looking interesting for a lot of people. and sherrod brown just got reelected handily in ohio.
walker bush had to defend himself against patrick buchanan. he later lost to bill clinton. in 1980 president jimmy carter was dogged by a challenge from senator ted kennedy. he beat kennedy, but lost to ronald reagan that november. gerald ford faced a tough primary challenge, and eventually lost to carter. president johnson was weakened by the candidacy of eugene mccarthy, and dropped out of the race. we re back with heidi, jonathan, donna and john. let s talk about the president and his own party, how does he stand? is this all over, no matter what happens, is trump the nominee of the republican party, if he chooses to be so? if he s on the ballot and he runs, he s going to be the nominee of the republican party. if you ve seen a narrowing of the republican party, but they re very excited about him to the joint john was making earlier. 90% of republicans are with donald trump. that s not going to change. he s got them. nobody s going to pull that away
say they re with trump. i ve never seen anything like that. does that mean no matter how difficult things get in this, he s still going to end up with no challenge? if he ran against john kasich today in ohio for governor, trump would win by 30 points. there s no doubt about it. if you go look at the kpet polls from the last elections, pennsylvania you know well as a good example. barletta ran as donald trump in the senate. he got 88% of the republican vote. 88%. there s no buyer remorse among republicans. the problem is donald trump loses some of the votes and has to make them up among conservative how does he get those well educated women back after they decide they don t like him?
when the guy inown front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you ve got a good record and liberty mutual won t hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn t hold grudges. how mature of them! for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won t raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. welcome back. even if president trump manages to defeat a republican candidate vying for the republican nomination against him in 2020, there could still be consequences. that s because history shows incumbent presidents who have faced primary challenges from within their own party don t fare very well in the general election come november. in 1992 president george herbert
