across the globe. stop calling yourselves just platforms. check yourself. up next, nationalism on a global scale. germany s angela merkel exiting early, a right wing president in brazil. what does it say about the state of the world? women on the front lines of midterm elections six days away, elections that stephen colbert contributed to his halloween decorations this year. this year the campaigns have been dominated by fear and just really terrible heartbreaking events. that s why for halloween, instead of decorating my house with witches and goblins, i just hung up newspapers. the boo-york times and the washington ghost. now, our fear monger in chief, the great pumpkin, if you will it s halloween. just there you go.
don t have a sea coast in ames, iowa. other than that, i bet it s a nice place. incredible place. look it up on the internet today. thank you so much for being on. we will be back in a moment. still ahead this morning, don t look now. senate republicans could be trying one last gasped attempt at repealing obamacare. good god, what s wrong with them? are you serious? seriously. halloween is coming up. every halloween night, the great pumpkin rises from the pumpkin patch and comes and brings toys to good boys and girls. i heard that. all over the globe. so maybe they re inspired by the great pumpkin. apparently this effort has some democrats nervous. i think they should be nervous about a lot more but, any how, morning joe is coming right back. a pilot like you shouldn t be flying buses.
every time. the great pumpkin. never happens. and propaganda they convince themselves they can do it. every four years, republicans swear the state they will flip is philadelphia. they said it in 2004, 2008, 2012, i think pennsylvania is so enticing because it feels like a state that is so much like ohio they should be able to flip it. you made the point. metrics and data don t win campaigns. campaigns win campaigns. the democrats have a heck of a machine in pennsylvania. it gets the voters out, knocks on the door and gets to the wards. you have an entrenched political machinery the democrats have and republicans don t. even if they did the same machinery doesn t work as well in rural counties. that s a bigger list. they need a much bigger staff to pull people out than democrats can do. concentrated votes, too. 59 voting decision and a single vote from mitt romney, that s not cheating.
elections when folks in philadelphia and a lot of democratic voters don t show up in the same level of force in the presidential years. but we have seen since 92 philadelphia counties are pushed pennsylvania through. i thought it was a funny line but i think he meant it. i said why do republicans have this lust for pennsylvania? it s the craziest thing. oh, we re going to get pennsylvania. joy, why do they always say we re going to get pennsylvania this year and they never ever, it is like lucy and the football and charlie brown. every time. the great pumpkin. never happens. and propaganda they convince themselves they can do it. every four years, republicans swear the state they will flip is philadelphia. they said it in 2004, 2008, 2012, i think pennsylvania is so enticing because it feels like a state that is so much like ohio they should be able to flip it.
and the great pumpkin every fall. we showed bucks county around philadelphia a month ago of hillary clinton absolutely dismantling donald trump in those places. where do they see places to gain in pennsylvania? the middle part of the state, i think. places where you would traditionally see more of a republican bench from pennsylvania. i also think i don t think the campaign is taking it when he comes to florida. he s in pensacola. he s spending 18th time. he likes my hometown. he knows florida is important. they know that ohio is really key as well. i think that, you know, they feel probably the best that they ve felt in a long time this week with him. even though mike pence is talking obamacare, donald trump is talking obamacare too. staying more focused which brings us to what you had said before after the access hollywood tape you sort of put together a list of things that donald trump had to do if he was
