the, stuff there is a lot of optimism that senator manchin is coming around, that members of the more moderate part of the republican party are coming to some kind of different voting rights proposals, and we can get some bills on the table. and people have put obvious proposals out there, that if you re concerned about your precious filibuster, just carve you can keep the filibuster. but mark, this is a little inside and outside the beltway. stuff the average american doesn t care about the filibuster. the potential damage that everybody at the capitol hill is worried about them getting rid of the filibuster, i don t think it s a real thing out there in america. ali, i ve done campaigns for over 30 years and more of a than 100 of them. and not once in 30 years have i ever heard voters say, please protect the filibuster. nobody outside washington has an idea of what it is. it s the most inside washington thing there is. and listen, the practical reality is, don s, right i
that senator manchin is coming around, that members of the more moderate part of the republican party are coming around to some different voting rights proposals. and that we can get some votes on the table. right. and people have put obvious proposals out of there. mark, this is inside and outside the beltway stuff. the average american doesn t care about the filibuster. the potential damage that everybody on capitol hill is worried about if they get rid of the filibuster, i don t think it s a real thing out there in america. well, ali, i ve done campaigns for over 30 years. probably done more than a hundred of them, and not once have i heard a voter say, please protect the filibuster. nobody outside washington has any idea what it is. it s the most inside washington thing there is, and the listen, the practical realities are, it s a movement, more than
so under a democrat cannic president, we had the borrowing actually trailing off a bit. and this is going to become an issue in 2020. what i will say is the average american just being out in covering 2020 candidates and the democratic side, the average american doesn t care so much about the deficit and spending as much as they do let s say health care. but this is the big but. some democratic candidates will make a big deal out of federal borrowing because they it will say this administration gave corporate america tax cuts and as a result, is mortgaging the future of america. we have already seen this kind of language come out of michael bloomberg, the former mayor of new york city, howard shultz, so we re hearing this and younger voters are concerned about the new deal and concerned about borrowing because they want to keep entitlement programs around.
