representative, ohio with steve, ohio 12 with troy, new jersey 3 with tom mcarthur, virginia 2 with scott taylor, florida with carlos carbella. all appear to be moving in republican direction. paul: okay, let me push back at that a little bit. you re saying that the quality of individual candidates matter. individual campaigns matter. i understand that but we have been hearing 4 to 5 six months that really the republican s fate is not in republican s hands, nationalized electorate, democratic enthusiasm that defeat donald trump and you re saying that that s not at all universally true? well, it isn t, some truth in it because the underlying landscape matters a great deal.
been for republicans pretty good. let me give you a couple examples. north carolina 13, ted bud. ohio, steve shabbot. troy balderson. virginia 2, scott taylor. florida 25, carlos carbella. these are all seats that are suggesting that the republican is in the lead and pulling away. same thing in open seats. the democrats have pulled out of minnesota 8 because people stauv, the republican candidate is so strongly there. neil: when you look at the late-breaking issues that might influence this race, the caravan comes to mind. the secretary of state speaking with reporters in mexico city to try to get the mexicans on board.
