Transcripts For MSNBCW The Reid Report 20141103

Where you have a democrat and a republican. You have orman, an independent, who doesnt have the benefit of a Party Structure to do all that getting out the vote. So, aides to orman say theyve been using their phone banks and volunteers trying to find not the typical base democratic voters, who they hope will turn out on their own, but looking for those voters who might be somewhere in the middle, might not vote in every election and to try to drive them to the polls. Now, pat roberts has usually won easily. Hes been elected to the senate three times before. This is a very different year. And when i asked him about the pressure hes feeling and the burden on him, because this is a red state and the republicans want to see a republican senate, and he is really the one in trouble among all republican incumbents tomorrow. He acknowledged some people are fed up with washington. People are just frustrated. Thy are. Some is directed at you. And telling those stories to me, i take it to heart. But they know me. They know ive been fighting for them. I have to remind them of that. Reporter and so one of the issues for roberts has been dealing with things like, does he spend enough time in the state of kansas . Has he spent too much of his life in washington . Thats been a big critique. He makes the argument if voters want to be more conservative and want to see Republican Issues forward, go for him to have the republican senate, at least improve the chances. Orman, who has been very much on the air waves here has raised a lot of money and has made kansas a state in play. Thats extraordinary in and of itself. He is saying both parties are broken. Send an independent in order to try to change the dynamics in washington. If its very close, joy, someone who is an independent might be able to sway the balance of power. So, thats why kansas is so crucial. Joy . Kelly odonnell in kansas, one of the most fascinating races out there. Thank you very much. Lets go to kentucky where Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell has opened up his lead over democratic challengera Alison Grimes. Erin, does it look like mcconnell is pulling away or some under the allison guAlison Grimes . Reporter we had the nbc news poll opening up an eightpoint lead. We had a excuse me, a ninepoint lead and eightpoint lead on the Public Policy polling over the weekend. So, allison lui Alison Grimes i crisscrossing the state, taking nothing for granted but looks pretty tough. Mcconnell was campaigning with rand paul and it looked like a victory lap. He spoke for three minutes, spoke an entire of ten minutes. With polls showing republicans are likely to take over senate, he may become majority leader. Thanks much. Republicans are also measuring the drapes in iowa where republican state senator joni ernst is up over congressman bruce braley. Luke russert is live in des moines. How does it look in that tight race . Reporter well, this is an absolutely critical state for democrats to win if they want to maintain control of the senate. As of right now, it is not looking good. A recent Des Moines Register poll, the Gold Standard of iowa polling, coming out saturday night showing joni ernst with a sevenpoint lead over bruce braley. The issue for braley is he has not been able to effectively tag joni ernst with the label of being extreme, with being out of touch with iowans on medicare and social security. She has such a powerful personal story, being 44 years old, being a veteran, being a farmer and being more relatable. We see the poll numbers of the average iowan, she seems to be pulling away ever so slightly. The braley campaign, quinnipiac poll shows this race tightened. They say the Des Moines Register poll is an outlier. Moving forward the thing bruce braley is dealing with today, hes not able to talk about the issues, because tom harkin, the man he wants to replace, video comes out last night with tom harkin says, joni ernst is as pretty as taylor swift. Blowing up the airwaves, a big unforced error. The democrats have a good ground game. Weve seen it in 2012. Can that offset that sevenpoint margin the Des Moines Register poll, offset the fact braley has been running pretty much a flawed campaign . Its a good question. Right now, momentum is with ernst and shes somebody down the line a lot of republicans want to see win because with her background and her ability to relate to people, she could be a kingmaker in iowa politics for a long time to come. Thing of the republican president ial campaigns. It seems like the Democratic National party is worried about iowa. Harry reid even weighed in. Is this the race most democrats are worried about because she has potential to go further after this . Reporter yes. You hit the nail on the head. If you look at the other races like louisiana, landrieu is pretty hard core campaigner. She can pull things out like in 2002. Colorado, udall is in better position right now. Braley has just not been able to muster any type of credible line of tactic to stick to ernst. If ernst pulls this off, the expectation is she will, master republicans say shes a certifiable rock star in the making. We will try to help her out. Watch her go to washington, moderate a few positions. Ill say this on your air, joy, i dont think its insane to suggest her as a Vice President ial possibility in 2016 being a woman from a swing state and a veteran. I mean, thats what she runs a very powerful personality narrative that gravitates to people. In the Des Moines Register poll, the issue of who cares more about you, shes beating braley. Thats terrible for a democrat to lose on that issue. Its amazing because she has some really extreme positions. The fact that braley hasnt been able to capitalize on any of them is surprising. Reporter those arent talked about near the end. All in a days work. Luke russert, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Reporter be well. Take care. Coming up, well take a deep dive on the very close races in colorado and how tomorrows outcome could hinge on hispanic turnout. Msnbcs election coverage kicks off at 6 p. M. Eastern, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews will bring you the results and reaction to creditical races throughout the night right here on msnbc.

Election day and the senate up for grabs, there are plenty of prognosticators who would have you believe this is a done deal for republicans. The latest data says, not so fast. Case in point, colorado. Where republican cory gardner has been the frontrunner in a bid to unseat democratic senator mark udall. Early this morning nate cohen of the New York Times was all but sealing udalls fate predicting, quote, the democratic turnout machine will need to pull off a remarkable turnout feat over the next few days to give udall a shot at winning. Hours later, after a second look at the early voting numbers, mr. Cohen changed his tune, finding, quote, registered democrats outnumbered registered republicans by three points. The first time democrats outpaced republicans enough to narrow the republican advantage to eight points. Further adding to the certainty that nothing is certain, new polling today shows gardners lead is shrinking. According to the latest quinnipiac poll gardners lead from three points is now down to two points. With the margin of error, its basically neck and neck. The states growing hispanic population is more critical than ever. Mariateresa komar is an msnbc contradictor. So, in the break before we got started, we were talking about the fact that part of the issue when you talk about latino voters is polling. Its not really that easy to poll latinos. Oftentimes they are highly mobile and on cell phones as well. When you look at how traditional pollsters look, they do land lines and go after more aflunflt voters. Thats what everybody said reid would lose the senate. Its the Sharron Angle effect. Nine out of ten latinos voted for harry reid and brought him on top. Also whats happening in colorado is they have a personhood amendment. Its one of the driving factors in getting latinas, women, out to the polls, because on average theyre 27 years old, in the middle of their careers, they want to control their reproductive rights and people havent been talking about that. Despite the fact the denver post portrayed gardner as a prince of moderation. Lets talk about the actual electorate in colorado. Latinos, make up about 14 of eligible voters. In 2040, by then, theyll make up a third of the states population. Obama won this group by 75 of the latino vote in colorado. Colorado is trending the way the nation is trending, just faster. Theyre very much a proxy. If you recall in the 2008 election, when colorado was called, everybody knew obama had safely secured the seat. Why . Latinos came out in droves and pollsters had underestimated their participation. Youre going to see the same thing those same margins come out in a real heat when you look at georgia, the senate races in georgia, North Carolina and kansas. While the two candidates are neck to neck, latino vote in these respective states are 2 to 4 and that will make all the difference. In florida its this flux vote, too. Its less cubanamerican, more puerto rican. Its in flux all over the country. What you see specifically in florida is interesting is that you have a growing population of Puerto Ricans who are already u. S. Citizens. Theyre easier to register to voted. And oftentimes left not to be decided voters until you knock on that door. Lets go back to colorado and talk about in our polling what latino voters say is really important to them. The Immigration Reform. Extremely important, very important, to pass Immigration Reform soon, 66 . Only 22 say somewhat important. 6 say not that very important. The pew poll shows the preference for latino voters, 65 democrat, 22 republican in 2010. Its down a little bit, 57 democrat but only 28 republican. Its not a swing vote but a turnout vote. Talk about immigration is how latinos will listen to you. Gardner is against pathway to citizenship. Udall is for it and dream legislation as well. Gardner has also not been good on personhood. Talking about latino vote nationwide, the fact because a lot of atmospheric things about the Republican Party, youre starting to see the latino vote go the way the africanamerican vote did after the 1960s. Pew is showing it 63 democratic, 27 republican. Is there anything republicans are doing at the moment that might reverse that trend going very much for the Democratic Party . Well, Lindsey Graham did a terrific job when he had a runoff against a tea party candidate. Looked like he was going to lose. He came out strong on immigration and was basically principled. South carolina has one of the Fastest Growing communities of latinos. Eric cantor decided not to go ahead with immigration. He had 60,000 asian and latino voters going out on a jungle primary, they decided to stay home. He lost he not only lost his seat but his leadership position as well. If you look nationwide, is it significant the fact president obama is still above water with latino voters . I think people underestimate the president s role in Midterm Elections but is that significant, at least with latinos hes 10 above water . Theyre frustrated with him but will he drive them to the polls . The fact youre looking at personhood in some cases and the fact that people are talking about the issue of immigration in certain cases. Thats whats going to drive people. In california it will be proposition 47, the idea of changing the misdemeanors when it comes to felony convictions. Is there a gender gap within the latino vote . Do latinas vote differently than latinos . Latina women are the ones carrying the water and the burden oftentimes when it comes to the polls. 50 of latinas turn out to vote. How to get men up off the couch and stuff the ballot box. Latinos are oftentimes single, head of household, bearing the burden of minimum. Again, theyre young and basically the ones deciding their career. They dont want someone deciding it for them. The keyword is young. Its a longterm process and republicans need to get it together. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, joy. For a snapshot of where things stand for democrats across the country were joined by Debbie Wasserman schultz, share of the democratic committee. Congresswoman, thank you for being here. I hope i have her. Hopefully you are able to hear a little of what Maria Theresa kumar and i were talking about, the latino vote.

Its time for we the tweeple and youre buzzing about, what else, the Midterm Elections. Juror snarking that five revelations including lena dunham did not vote after appearing in a rock the vote. Theyre proving how hard it is to inspire young voters but its not because millenials dont care about the midterms. A new report shows they actually share stories about the midterms at twice the rate of the general population. Theyre social media shares on the topic are more influential. The same report states candidates dont address issues that matter to them. This hasnt stopped democratic senator Mary Landrieu of louisiana from sharing photos like this on instagram in a bid to reach new voters during a tough race to keep her seat. Like so many candidates in tight races. But rather than posting pictures on social media, you, just like millennial voters, want candidates to address topics that matter to you. Things like climate change, equal pay and other hot button topics. Its this lack of relevant platforms that have so many of you tweeting, i will vote tomorrow but these elections are so far removed from the issues i care about. Peeved with this congress, youre attacking them all. This user called today the last day to find out who your incumbent representatives are so you can vote for anyone else tomorrow. Disenchanted, youre buzzing about this oped calling for america to cancel the midterms. Its authors argue the realities of the modern election cycle is we spend almost two years selecting a president with a welldeveloped agenda. Less than two years after the inauguration, the Midterm Election crimes that same president s ability to advance that agenda. Good point. Your tweets show youre frustrated by the process. Despite it all, i urge you, just like this user, to please
