of pushing your buddy together. so now you are thinking of aoc and ilhan omar and all the democrats. when the dust settles any picture them as one, everybody forgets how we got there. harris: i want to get lisa into this conversation. lisa: i agree with what melissa just laid out there. and i do think that s the objective of the president in sending this tweet out. you saw previously nancy pelosi was attempting to distance the democrat party from these four members of congress. the reason being, we recently saw axios report on the poll that found alexandria ocasio-cortez and omar are becoming the defining faces of the democratic party with critical voters. so, working class white voters that harris: with that poll particular. lisa: critical to president trump winning michigan. macomb county. but they went to trump with those voters. those two are becoming the
he cares about but that the voters care about. he was able to speak to those issues in language that people can understand, in language that s not partisan. in language that whether you re a republican, conservative, leftist, social liberal democrat, everybody wants health care, everybody wants a good paying job, everyone wants to put food on the table so the fact that he is able to deliver that message so, so well but also to do so as an unapologetic democrat. to not run away and pretend like he has to either run to the center or shed what he believes in as a democrat in order to be palatable to the rest of the state. the way he speaks is the way a lot of democrats are speaking around the country and that is the show health care, job safety
states. they aren t anymore. because what the democratic party has done in the state level is gotten out of its own way and allowed candidates to emerge who can speak to a broader population of voters that better reflects who they are. exactly to the point chris was making. if gillum gets out of the broad weeds into the narrow weeds of what is happening with the water there is, what s happening on the panhandle then he will be able to solidify that vote. one other thing, for a guy who says he won t talk about donald trump, my unsolicited advice, stop talking about donald trump. but your party isn t the party of green and taking care of the environment, i m not sure algae is your best bet now. i want to thank you, panel. so articulate, all of you. michael steele needs a tie. he performed well. he s the chairman. i can come close. he can be the boss without a tie. michael steele, jonathan

going to encourage the black vote to come out. we ve got a new type of black democrat. we ve got a new type of america. we ve got a new democratic party and i think we re seeing it in florida and in georgia. not to mention a lot of white voters who are appalled and don t want anything to do with that and will vote even more stronger for a candidate because of that. the way his interviews have gone since he s won. you re in a general election in a state that trump run and ran to the left in the primary race. in order to be governor, you need to win voters in the middle. how are you going to do that? i don t believe that any of the issues that i stood on in the primary are in any way disqualifying in the general election. bill, i feel like that narrative pre-supposes a minimum wage. the idea of health care, where people freaking out because they
