they can to trump, and especially because of these kind of divisive comments which will be very hurtful in the general. scott, your response. fair criticism? yeah, i don t understand the comments about violence. i mean it is possible he is responding to the protests that have gone on, the running of sarah sanders out of a restaurant, the chasing of mitch mcconnell by the abolish i.c.e. people around louisville. maybe he is thinking of that. if the democrats win the house they re going to try to stifle the president and unend everything. that s not violence. but when i heard the comments, i thought he was mixing two issues. to me it is a vital talking point for the republicans to say, if you like what we ve been doing, if you like 4% unemployment don t elect democrats because they re going to put a stop to everything we re doing. that s a good talking point, but then he mixed it into something else that i didn t quite understand. i don t think it is appropriate rhetoric. look, w
here. i m bullish on this. i mean you think about the race we talked about, as adrizona an florida, if they flip florida it is two more years of republican control in the senate, which even if the house goes democrat trump and mcconnell can continue to do judges. but but the judges continue. i hope they underestimate nelson because nelson only lost one race in his life. rick scott has spent more money i think than anybody in history in these kinds of races, of his own races, and he never hit 50%. it is not like he is very well-liked. i think again, i do think it will be hard. i urge democrats to do everything that they can to get out there and to mobilize and energize not just our base but independents and republicans who also despise this administration, and let s get out there and vote. scott, maria had two chances to call out the voters. i have to give you a fair he wants them to stay home.
does seem that guilliani is really it is not a legal strategy so much as it is a political strategy, and a strategy to appeal to the public and try to basically argue that the investigation is not legitimate and, therefore, we should discount everything that happens. you know, i question how effective that is when we see week after week indictments, convictions, guilty ploeas comig against folks charged by the u.s. government as part of mueller s investigation, but it really is there s no question i think he was transparent in saying this is what my client wants and this is what i m doing. david, really there s no evidence that the president, regardless of a successful conviction of paul manafort, the events with michael cohen and his guilty plea and deal, there s no evidence the president will back off this strategy of laying attacks on robert mueller and the investigation? no, i think the evidence points in the opposite direction. i think this is all going to come to a head a
president trump warning of violence if republicans lose the midterm elections. trump made those comments last night during a dinner with evangelical leaders which was closed to the press. cnn listened to a recording of the remarks in which trump says the following, quote, people say i m not voting because the president doesn t like congress. it is not a question of like or dislike. it is a question that they will overturn everything that we ve done and they will do it quickly and violently, and violently he repeated. there is violence. when you look at antifa, these are violent people. outfront now white house correspondent for politico , former advisor to four presidents, david gergen, and ann milgrim a former federal prosecutor. david, if i could begin with you, the president seems to be saying antifa will respond violently if the republicans lose the majority. antifa a constant talking point for the right wing.
moved back a bit but it has been a democratic advantage, and a lot of the voters are driven by subjects such as immigration. that s why you are seeing mcsally focusing on security. she is a fighter pilot, she bombed our enemies after 9/11, and kyrsten was protesting us going after osama bin laden. this is a state that loves our military and veterans and believes in prosecuting the war on terror and we have a candidate that fought and one that fought against. i want to ask you both about what the president told a group of evangelical leaders last night about what happens if republicans lose the mid terms, lose their majority. cnn was played a recording of these comments now, and among the quotes he said the following. they will overturn everything that we ve done and they will do it quickly and violently. and violently, he repeated. there is violence. when you look at antifa, these
