scott walker is asking for a third term. you know in some ways he has a very good story to tell, on the economy in the particular in the state. he had the public sector union reform he got through which also held advantages for the state. he is also running against a democrat who is not really that charismatic, tony evers, head of wisconsin public schools. on other hand, democrats have been gunning for walker forever. there is a lot of money coming in against him. i think bigger problem is that he is, you know, he is basically because of the recall, this is the fourth time in eight years he is asking voters to reelect him. there may be a fatigue question going on there. this is one to see whether or not he pulls out. paul: one of donald trump s least popular states wisconsin, which won t help walker. jason what are you looking at? georgia, secretary of state brian kimp running against stacey abrams. race is statistically tied.
housing market. lowest new housing starts per population, last nine years were lowest nine years in history. now we have rates coming up, which will attack capital to the market. i think powell is doing a great job. paul: okay. i am worried about trade and spending. but i always worry about stuff, paul. paul: no you don t, art. you re the most optimistic man in the world. i am, i am. we have the tax cuts behind us. that is the best bill ever. that tax bill had almost no mistakes at all. deregulation is just fantastic. monetary policy, i think trump and larry kudlow are doing a great job getting some trade negotiations. if the president meets with xi in argentina i can t help but think this will be huge plus for america and china. paul: how much is at risk if there is change in the congress? obviously president trump has the veto pen, so he can veto
we ll see what the elections are. in 1982 with the tax bill passed reagan got hammered in the off election. we own only won in 198449 out of 50 states. that was real close. we haven t had enough prosperity where people feel expansion. it is coming, coming very quickly. by the time we get to 2019 and 2020, it will be roaring. trump will get a lot of credit for that. paul: any elections in particular, governorships, house or senate where you think the economy is worth noting? one is really big and that s the governor s race in connecticut. paul: okay. a guy named bob stfanoski running against bob lam month. he is free market economic supply-sider, versus stagnant
both republicans and democrats in congress failed to address it therefore you get a situation like we have at the border. this caravan is coming. it will arrive at the border. donald trump did not create the caravan. donald trump is not responsible for what is going on in honduras. he went through this last july when you had the family separation fiasco down. there it proved federal bureaucracies are incapable of processing handling this many people when they come across the border. so he default i think, the president saying i have to do something about this. and i think most americans would agree with that. you would agree even sending military to the border in a support role? the question whether president trump is overplaying his hand on the immigration issue. i think it is telling to look at states which he is appearing this weekend friday through sunday, indiana, west virginia,
last week abrams brought in oprah. kemp brought in mike pence. gives you idea of the stakes. what is it interesting about the race, abrams is running una bashed progressive. she is pro-abortion. she is anti-gun rights. medicaid for all. it is very interesting. this is a deep red state trump won handily, but she thinks that is the strategy to win. paul: kemp is running as a trump republican. very much running as a trump republican. the voters there have a true, true contrast. paul: dan, what are you looking at? looking at florida which is twin with georgia. down in florida, tallahassee mayor andrew gillum, running against republican congressman ron desantis because he was endorsed by donald trump. andrew gillum is up ashamed running as the second coming of bernie sanders. raising minimum wage to $15. raising corporate raise.
