the key is there were not just votes for jones. the key is turnout. if you look at where the turnout was in the state in the 2016 presidential election, the drop-off in these counties was a lot less, the drop-off was a lotlet less than you saw in the rural areas, the heavily white rural areas. black turnout was very strong. something else in this result it gave jones the win. i think it ought to worry republicans nationally, too. it is a continuation a bit of a trend we ve been seeing in this trump era of the republican struggles in traditionally republican suburbs. let me start here in shelby county right outside birmingham. shelby kahne county is traditionally a republican bastion. also of all the counties in bm bam it has the highest concentration of four-year college graduates. this is a place where mitt romney got almost 80% of the vote in 2012. where donald trump got 73% of the vote in 2016.
finally they got out tonight and spoke loud and clear and beat that guy. do you think this is going to rouse them to vote because it? larry. i think it s absolutely going to happen in 2018. i agree with charlie on the wave that s coming. don t forget about the governors and state legislatures. i think you are going to so a tremendous turnover to the democrats there, too, which is going to be critical for the next redistricting coming in 2021. so donald trump has got the white house and i suppose a lot of republicans are still happy about that. but he s going to cost them tremendously next year in the midterm elections and probably beyond that. you know what i think the people that like trump don t like him as much as the people that don t like him don t like him. i think we saw that tonight. thank you larry and charlie. i finished a week and a half ago the bobby kennedy, boochlt it s really good. charlie is an expert on politics. he wrote the most beautiful review on my book.
