District. keep saying it s all about this candidate or that candidate. say what you want to say. but there are 119 republicans tonight that should not sleep easily. let me cut off mark bakari, what do you think mark thinks? i actually think we re all saying the same thing. quite frankly, we re all on the same page. the bottom line is going back to the clinging to the guns and religion because you know i would not let you have the last word. the idea is, though, that the democratic party has pushed away folks from the midwest and from middle america. and they have pushed away against folks who actually do believe in the second amendment or the rights that go along with that. what we re seeing here, though, is conor lamb is somebody who pushed back against his party but not his whole party because he is a democrat. he s a bob casy democrat. for all our viewers who probably ....
I think it s 36 or 37 39. i mean, that s to me where the story is. jack, let me ask you something. so he won by 20 points and then tonight, you know, i guess, well, almost two years later you can say. not quite. a year and a half later. he possibly, the republican candidate possibly loses? that doesn t scare you? no, it does scare me. there s no question that our party s going to have to do what conor lamb does is sometimes triangulate between where the white house is and their own provincial politics. you have to do that. democrats and republicans do that in their own party all the time, where they have to triangulate and they have to get on the ground and they have to knock on every single door but they also while you re answering this i want to put this graphic up, jack, and i m going to let you finish here. this is a graphic from the new york times. the blue arrows show where voters trended from republican to democrat since 2016. ....

Democrat party in the democrat congress today. and don, we ve seen it before because in 2006 many moderate democrats just like conor lamb were elected and they were all tossed out because they couldn t identify with either party. some of them got beat in primaries and a lot of them got beat in general elections because that s not what the leaders that they elected stood for when they got to washington, d.c. is he going to consistently stand for tim ryan over nancy pelosi? he may for a while. i mean, gene taylor from mississippi, who symone knows, he did that for many, many years. but eventually it catches them. look, i think that democrats should be excited across the country tonight. this means that the blue wave is real. i think we saw in alabama the blue wave is real. but i want to caution folks, there is no blue wave in this koirnt without black and brown people, without working people. so you have to understand who are the folks in this district. ....
