ballot box on november 8th. so let s bring in the roundtable, msnbc kasie hunt. all over the country with these guys. what a year for you. harold ford, a future ahead of him, tennessee, who knows where next. visiting professor university of michigan school of public policy. co-author of donald trump s art of the deal. you know what strikes me, we were listening to steve. he s the best of any networks. this town versus gown thing. for democrats who believe like in small d democratic like you do, the person who looks for people, people who didn t have a break. we have democrats wherever we have college graduates we win. wherever they don t go to college the republicans win. what happened to the party of the little people. have we become the the anti-archie bunker party? is that what the democrats are? roosevelt was for the forgotten man. democrats now seem to be for the ivy league man, don t you think?
look at this landscape stretched out, yesterday, donald trump and bernie sanders are opposites, but there are a lot more reasons why hillary clinton and paul ryan are more alike than paul ryan is like donald trump. where are we getting here? i think that s the, that s really the question that i think, paul ryan and his freedom caucus, he s going to step into if trump loses this thing. a giant mess that s tearing the republican party apart. he s going to have to decide, am i going to cut a deal with hillary clinton and push this farther away and hillary clinton similarly, you already have progressives with warren and bernie sanders threatening her. if trump loses, guys, he s still going to get about 40 something%. what s that going to go? republicans quoing to grab it back? democrats going to make a bid for it? you ve got two people here who are pundits and you don t need one more. what i do think is that at a broader level, it s a, it is a
road grinding it out is on the road. run against republican party right now, democrats and secretary clinton because you can look ahead and say republicans want to investigate. is this what you really want? the fbi has cleared me. we re safe here. we re looking at a culture in washington all about investigations. let s move beyond that, elect democrats and elect clinton. by the way, that s something we haven t talked about. it takes some air off ut trump s closing argument. comey gave trump a cohesive closing argument of essentially, you don t want this clinton mess, she s going to be investigated the whole time she is there. it does take a little bit of air out of that balloon for trump. you just anticipated my closing argument tonight. i ve already written it. i basically said this was his closing argument and it was founded on this fbi report they are looking at e-mails. he was able to say that s evidence in it s self, egregious crime, worse than watergate the fact that they
what does this do now? does it put them more at risk? probably not. there was a lot of discussion when this first happened of what it could do and frankly boost some of the republicans. there s two extraordinarily close that any tiny movement missouri. more north carolina and new hampshire. i think that s where it would be the most. which way is missouri now? i think missouri is i think blount is bailed out by a trump surge in rural america. part of that surge i saw when i drove across pennsylvania the last few days, seemed like moderate republicans, republicans on the fence, they are tilted toward trump because of what the fbi did last week. now with the fbi coming out and saying a different story, you want to do those moderate republicans who a few days ago saying i m going for trump now, i can t have clinton in there. do they stick home, go for her? what do they do? does trump s turnout change?
cleveland. we re told she will not mention it when she comes here. she s trying to get back to trying to end on a positive note. they are planning to have khan, the gold star father, introduce her, with lebron james. this has damaged their campaign. they had to pivot from a positive message to go on the attack to try to defend herself for the past nine days. it has certainly given more momentum to republicans in states like new hampshire. wait a minute. she s been completely exonerated today. why doesn t she gets up to date. she s clean. why doesn t she brag, spike the football and say i m clean as whistle. i won this argument. why doesn t she do that? they think any time she s talking about e-mails is a negative. let her talk about bringing the country together. she s got a two-minute paid ad on nbc and cbs tomorrow night.
