dewine who weekend out a win in the ohio governor s race, the consistent theme is that that republican healthcare bill actually put a little bit of a mill stone around republicans running in the industrial mid west. it was not a popular piece of legislation and in some ways i think it s almost better that it didn t pass and that it didn t go into effect causing even more damage down the road. tucker: sounds like what you are saying is that republicans as a party need to understand who their constituency is. it s different from what it was a generation ago. it really is the middle class party. maybe they should have middle class economic solutions to offer? yeah. that s absolutely right, tucker. i think that a lot of folks, especially the wall street journal wing of the republican party don t like to admit and don t like to appreciate the fact that the party has definitely shifted in this direction. you have got more and more working class voters voting for republicans like i said
and ivanka trump havi and ivanka trump saying to her dad, we have to get to the bottom of everything. have you heard anything from brett kavanaugh that when they went through who could be nominated, raymond ketledge and others, that there is a chink in the armor? they know there are other judges they could push forward on, but one thing they know is that president trump is concerned about president trump and the effect on president trump. so if he comes to the conclusion that brett kavanaugh and this entire process is too much of a millstone around his neck, he will throw a millstone in there,
donald trump can he can he remains popular but it s a millstone around the neck of other republicans in this country. he has no coat tails. that s been dragging scott walker down. all of these tariffs canada has been specifically targeting wisconsin and pennsylvania in their tariffs. they are hitting wisconsin where it hurts. scott walker has been trying to judge you have it and a lot of voters in that state are unhappy. third time s a charm. scott walker gets knocked out. earlier this week i literally had a conversation with one of ted cruz s pollsters. we re not going to debate. their internal polls must indicate they re in danger. they moved the house as a tilt toward the democrats, 17 ratings have been changed in favor of the democrats. it s supposed to be a bad year for them, at least on the senate side. ten senators up in states trump won. what does the picture look like for 2018, can they flip the house or the senate? i definitely think the house is at play.
11 or 12 separate investigations into scott pruitt s bree hehavid questionable activities. a question just now about scott prui pruitt. do you have confidence in administrator scott pruitt? yes, i do. think he s doing a good job. thank very much, everybody. thank you. kchhe has confidence in scot pruitt? important. so many of the president s st s staff don t have confidence in him. they feel he deceived some of them about some of the ways that he engaged in behavior, created critical problems and see him as a liability, a millstone around the neck of the administration. the fact the president came out said he s still confident in pruitt shows something of, kind of a last lifeline for pruitt. the most important thing and the only thing pruitt has going for him.
though states that flipped red and say, hi, i spent time in the trump administration. it s been a millstone on the neck of people in this administration. i m thinking some of the guys who came in with their own scent to begin with. you know, roger stone with his reputation as what do you call it? a trouble maker. bannon for example. bannon was known as a trouble guy. and trump seems to like those guys. corey lewandowski, going in, going out about the same. price is another example of reince priebus, came in as party chairman, goes out as a guy who failed. i think there s a lot of people you ve got time. there s a lot of people that have succeeded in the trump administration. kellyanne conway. you think she s looking good? i think she s done a marvel ousz job. i think her credibility has been enhanced. her credibility? not a chance. her credibility has been absolutely shrunk. she s the one who came up with
