donald trump is the first president who never cracks 50% approval. i mean, that is an astonishing statistic. he has never gotten over 50%, even though the economy is in great shape. and why is that? it s because everything that he says or does repulses a significant portion of the electorate. i mean, he s got about 40% of the base is behind him, but the other 60% of the country basically is turned off by what he is saying. there is actually a fascinating pew survey in april and may which asked people how they reacted to what donald trump says. 76% are confused. 70 confused. 69% embarrassed. 67% exhausted. 65% angry. that s how normal people react to a president who talks in ways that are just frankly alarming and crazy. and so there is no question to my mind that no democratic candidate should try to go toe to toe with donald trump and sling insults. okay. and act in the way that he acts. let him destroy himself with the

and special adviser to bohm, cnn political commentator van jones. dave, let s start with you. how much of the folks tonight do you expect to be on joe biden? when you re the front-runner, you ve got the target on your back. that s just a reality in politics. and he has felt that the last couple of debates. and that time he ll get to feel it with all of the top tier folks on stage with him. how he handles it informs us about the state of his mind and how he turns some of that energy coming his way and pushes it back out, as you were hearing, if indeed joe biden delivers on what his campaign has sort of been foreshadowing, this really drawing a contrast with warren in some way. that s a different thing than we ve seen in the past. i will note he is not the only one. because warren is ascendant, anderson, this is going to be a new moment for her. how does she take the incoming that s going to be coming? we haven t seen her tested in that way yet. every time i feel like we ve
this president and the way he does his business and the chaos that ensues is really disturbing to these voters. and it s not going to change, anderson. that s the thing. what we ve seen is as he feels pressed, he becomes more frenetic. and his theory of politics is that there are no undecided voters, that it s all about mobilization. if you just turn things up to the maximum into the red and excite your base, then you can win. and i think as he turns the dial into the red, he is going to he is going to lose a small but decisive group of voters. rick wilson has this book. yeah. he is a republican strategist. he is against trump. he has a book everything trump touches dies. it does seem like that should the strategy for democrats be to go toe to toe with that or to ignore then all the things that you re saying long-term is turning people off? well, look, i said in this piece that the key to beating
lose. in the fist debate, she was strong, some people thought too strong, she buzz was also warm. she said this little girl was me. when you have strength and warm, that s a very strong combination. the second debate, she tried to be strong, but biden punched her and tulsi gabbard beat her up, and she didn t respond well. so she looked weaker so she never humanized. she looked colder. she went from strong and warm to colder and weaker. which one shows up tonight is going the determine whether or not she has a future even as a vp pick. i am very curious what kamala harris does tonight. i think this is a really important point about who is going to bring the warmth. because everybody s got plans, right? but who s going to make a moment, connecting in some way with another person on the stage. at the end of the day, we have to remember our mission is to beat trump. it s really simple, not to beat each other. that s the number one thing that people are looking for. that s what all
