article. a lot of these women trying again to do something no woman has managed to do, but also talking about their policies, which is really important. they re trying not to focus on gende gender and what they bring to the table. and beto will be out with his family today. will this make a difference for him? at this point it s let s try anything that could work to get his numbers back up there. with his daughter molly being the subject of his email recently, he s trying to repackage his purpose for running as being out there for the next generation. so maybe this will stick, i don t know. we ll see. eliana, big, big fund-raising numbers for the rnc. $105 million total. yeah. in 2020 as opposed to 2016, the candidate will be the same but the campaign and the fund-raising apparatus, you have to remember the president got campaigned against big donors and taking their money.

i think the pro-life christians and catholics are enthused about the decision. it was a narrow decision and banning limited things. and the other side will get energetic. joe, do you see it differently? i would normally agree with ed, despite him knocking me off of theaur. the republicans have the energy in the midterm election. obama and president providing enough fuel. and they are turning out this november. the democratic side, the energy was not there until yesterday. i give you examples. big fund-raising hours of the ten best hours in the history
