The next eight months or nine months to persuade voters that trump antics aside, the united states was doing well. i hope that the stock market doesn t continue to tank, but if it does, if there s a serious correction or if americans don t feel that the tax cuts that they were promised weren t all that they had been trumped up to be, so to speak, then the case for voting republican is going to be extraordinarily slechnder, thers no question that all of the energy, all of the moral enthusiasm is on the democratic side. i would just caution, and this may be simply a truism, but nine days is a long time in politics and nine months is an eternity. and in the era of trump, i would say nine hours is long hours in politics. what you would do to try to fight the republicans on the tax ....
The distinction between fact and fiction, between truth and falsehood that people could more easily fall for lies. and powerful people could more easily get away with them because at the end of the day, they could always say, oh, i was just kidding, folks. so we have to be careful about the seduction of this style of politics and not be complacent. i hope cornell is right, i hope the time for honoring him will be at least politically at an end. but we have we can t be complacent about that conclusion because this style of politics is succeeded throughout history. and it might succeed again. kimmer berly i m going to get a mail or two from folks so say he has a gruff style but i like the courts and the tax bill and that he s holding firm on immigration and that is all i was asking from him. i m not looking for a role model. and he has convinced his base ....
Democrats have gotten on the daca vote, make sure there is a vote on daca. which by the way, if you if not for the hastert rule, you will have a majority of the house who will vote for that. but this is how the house is supposed to work. there are things in the bill that democrats want and things in this bill that republicans want. not a majority of republicans will be for this but if you put it on the floor you ll get a bipartisan piece of legislation by the majority of the house. the problem for speaker ryan is in his caucus and his caucus politics, but from a legislative standpoint, he has a majority for this bill. okay. but would you so what would you advise nancy pelosi to do, to tell her to kill the bill. if she gets the guarantee from speaker ryan and he said that she should do let her ....
i think the underlying dynamics are still popular for the republicans. i m going to go to something that mark said. pull my pollster card out for a minute. trump s up tick, he s around 39%, 40%. which was roughly where george bush was in 2006 and we took back the house, but the underlying dynamics here are still problematic, because you still have, even in 2006, when i was pollster for dnc, we didn t see college educated white women breaking this far away from politics. the way women, particularly college educated white women are breaking away from politics, it s going to be a bad year for them if that holds. and mark was talking about midterms in florida and the polling there. if we said that democrats were only turning out at the same levels they typically turn out in midterms and we have in ....
The defense of the dreamers, butt last thing the democrat should want is to be blamed for another shutdown of the government. i can t think of a single instance in which government was shutdown in which the party that was pushing the shutdown, whether it was ted cruz and the republicans in 2013 or chuck schumer in december didn t get hammered for it and that doesn t help the dreamers. americans want to help the dreamers, but really not at at the expense of themselves. she should be very careful about the politics here. let this let the bill pass. don t get over her skis. but that is why she s not whipping them against it. right now. we ll find out in an hour or so any way. cornell and kimberly and bret. thank you. stick around. up ahead, florida, florida, how one senate race could change the entire national midterm map. i ll be right back. little things can be a big deal. ....
