A mix of newsmaker interviews, political analysis, cultural segments and media analysis. Fuel the future. And both of those approaches are american if you think of it in historical terms but only one of those approaches is patriotic. And i think what we want in our candidates and the candidates that i think are most exciting are the ones that are choosing the more patriotic path, the ones that are using that combustion to fuel the future. And theres a way to do that and there are many, many candidates who are showing it. I went out to visit collin allred, a wonderful young candidate, first time candidate in a Congressional District in north of dallas. He grew up in the district in modest background, went to baylor. Hes a lawyer. Hes working with his neighbors and his community. Hes talking to everybody, people who agree with him and people who dont. His first question is not whether youre a democrat. His first question is about who you are, tell me what you need. Tell me what youre loo
from the district. we were talking whether or not the headlines actually help balderson the next day. it also may remind those voters who are already not with trump that they don t want they are not for him. they may not necessarily vote for the democrat but they are probably not going to be motivated to turn out for the republican and democrats on average have been swinging about 10 to 11 points in these midterm elections where we ve seen energy from the democrats. let s talk about the women vote, if we can bring up the graphic from question number three. cnn did a poll in women. the 2014 midterms women supported the democratic candidates by 7 percentage points. in june, it s 25 percentage points. women are flocking to democrats, at least right now according to polls. is this something you re seeing out there when you visit your district? absolutely. i think we re seeing it across the country. women candidates, a lot of push towards women and women s issues are pretty big when y
the areas den did poorly in the near suburbs. in this case the district is more a suburb ban district and our candidate is from the rural area. so it sort of stacks up really well for them. having said all of that, i think balderson will win this thing. there was a very divided republican primary, 500 votes separated the two. i think there s been a little bit more coming together because the folks who were sort of anti-balderson were trump people. trump coming there will hopefully consolidate and pull this off. i think it s a risky strategy because as the senator was saying it is a suburban area but also an area where you have college educated voters and those are the voters trump is doing the worst with and particularly women. i think the district is just a little bit like 50.3% women. and i certainly think that a rally like where probably a lot people who were there may not be
happened before. and look, if the democrats get in, they are going to raise your taxes. you re going to have crime all over the place and people pouring across the border. why would that be a blue wave? i think it could be a red wave. that was president trump in ohio last night sent in the state in a last minute push to rescue a republican house seat up for grabs in a special election. latest polling in the 12th district has race down to one point. you saw the polling, balderson 44, that s the republican and o connor, 43%, undecided 11%. this is a seat that republicans have held for decades. it s a governor john kasich s former congressional seat. why is it up for grabs? a couple of reasons. number one, it s a districts with a lot of suburban areas and that s an area we ve seen . in my district, doing well in
