already out in the public sphere and so that argument is kind of week. the national numbers don t look good for him but i know what you pointed out is what s important is digging into those democrats and they will feel the pressure to vote for him. you mentioned, what are you seeing in those red states and how much pressure do you think manchin or heidi heitkamp or donnelly are feeling right now? chris: they are under a lot of pressure. and i think this is key. when we look at one of the reasons that donald trump one in 2016, and there were a myriad of them, it was because of the supreme court. no question brought by a lot of voters out that might not have all otherwise voted. it was i think that was the key. the questions at this point, do they lose seats in the house, do they hold the house, is it enough to hold the house? this is the type of issue that is motivational to the republican base and 2018 will be the turn turnout election and that s an turnout issue.
about. the party of power losing seats is the other side is motivated by the incumbents party is now motivated. now what you are seeing is republicans are becoming motivated again. heather: what do you think about gun issue, this particular poll was taken in march 2018, the biggest issue seems to be gun control. you know, gun control is a motivational issue with democratic base and republican base but when you get voters and compare together in terms of overall motivation, it s more of a motivator in terms of turnout issue with progun, the prosecond amendment base. i don t know that that actually ends up being positive issue for democrats. heather: i was wondering about that in terms of timing. let s look at some of the specific races, i know that you we wanted to talk about the senate race in nevada. nevada it s an interesting one, dean heller going against harry reid, harry reid s last
that will make the difference. i think at this point, that is baked in. i think people have made up their minds and chosen either to believe the people who are accusing him or believe roy moore or decide that it doesn t matter, they re going to vote on other issues. so, i think at this point, the fact that in that interview he s saying that none of this happened, he s actually pushing back more. i mean, before he would say things like i would never date a young woman without her mother s permission. now he s saying he s never dated a young woman ever. so even though that story s changing a little bit, at this point i don t think it matters that much. i think people have decided whether or not they re going to vote for him. at anoint, it s going to be a turnout issue, can he turn out people who may have been turned off by this whole thing? can doug jones turn out people who may feel luke-warm about him particularly? doug jones needs black voters. they can t elect him alone, but he needs
