local controversy around him with some allegations about his campaign. taylor is going to lose this race tonight. we project that is a democratic pickup. also this is one of those we said we expect. we just needed to actually get the votes in. one of these newly drawn pennsylvania districts. this one chrissy houlahan is going to win. this used to be ryan costello, a republican member of congress. this was his district. he took one look at the remap, he said thanks, but no thanks. chris chris christy houlahan will be elected. new york, staten island, dan donovan, republican incumbent, has been unseated by max rose. this is fascinating because it is not a clinton new york city, not a clinton district. there are parts of new york state and staten island in particular, that like donald trump very much. this was one of them in 2016.
i feel like i m listening to waves right now. we stopped caring. we ve stopped building the big projects. and the totals are, you know you don t want to pay 20 bucks for the honor of going across the gw bridge? enough about me and my commute. let us go to a place where we just praised the infrastructure, let it be noted, our great friend lawrence o donnell is in southern california tonight where lawrence has been watching all of this in anticipation of california poll closings which could be absolutely epic. before we get to that point, though, lawrence, how have you been watching tonight unfold and what has struck you? i just want to remember that old phrase, as staten island goes, so goes the nation. last week, i identified the staten island race as the one i was watching on the east coast because it had a good chance of going democratic with max rose running a flawless campaign on staten island. and staten island is the only,
neil: all right. they ve been busy stalling the bites from president trump. they re implying that president trump is a racist because roseanne barr had the tweets. is that fair? is that right? ari fleischer, that s a little bit creative. what do you make of that ari? frankly, i have no idea. i have never watched her show. i didn t watch the old one, didn t watch the new one. the only thing i can tell you as a conservative, i m loathe to tell the private sector who to fire or hire. that one person that said that she was glad that barbara bush died. it s not our place to tell the
we also know that he was an expelled student with disciplinary problems. the other thing because we have been asking how did he get inside the building. the sheriff said the shooting started outside. i think that s what i heard him say. that kind of explains some information about how he was able to get inside the school and whether or not anyone there encountered him, any police officers or security in the building. that i guess we re still waiting to learn. let me get phil s reaction to this news, the latest briefing from the broward county sheriff. let me pick up on something about shootings outside, about the number of victims, the size of the magazine, the fact that he had an ar-15. this isn t someone, in my judgment, who went in with a specific grievance against an individual. i m going to wager he didn t even know everybody he killed. i step back and say, okay, he went in with a general grievance that he s been building over time, a grievance about what happened at the schoo
there was a case back in 1998 when arkansas and i m not going to mention the name of the subjects because that s not important. we don t want to bring any more publicity but it was similar where they used a fire alarm to get people to exit and it would allow the subject to open fire. as we hear more and more of that where we had a witness earlier with jake tapper saying that the call went out that there was a lockdown, yet you still have a fire alarm being pulled, was that someone fleeing in panic thinking i m going to help my fellow students or something that the subject did on his own. how difficult is it to fire this ar-15 style weapon, 223 caliber? you load the magazine, cock it so that it chambers around. after each round the next round automatically comes up. it s as fast as you can pull the trigger. with a 20-inch barrel you have a little better aim than just a pistol that might be the
