Clinton won. it could mean gender gaps been a thing in american politics for a long time. it could explode to entirely new levels. a casm more than a gap. it s a message that democrats have had some success. republicans tried to do this to health care, to that aca and vote against that to stop them from doing more. for democrats that could be the picture. in terms of republicans that polarized election, what would that mean? it could mean gains in the senate. it could mean fewer gains for democrats and it means republicans trying to say messagize, the economy seems to be doing pretty well right now so give the president credit for that. almost two different elections playing out in some way. bring the panel back in with me. ashley parker, has the thinking
Important to me and vote for me. not every one in his orbit agrees. just about every one no matter what they think, they are definitely worried about the house but the president himself can be quite optimistic. you were talking about the possibility of the democrats getting the house. they start launching investigations. they have the power of oversight. the power of subpoena. has the white house begun speaking about that world and how to handle it, how to address it? in are preliminary discussions as to how they could proceed in terms of battle plans. in our interswru tview with the president, he s dismissive of that. he said we ll be ready. he said to further ashley s point what he saw out there and he really pegs it to the kavanaugh hearings. he believes that s the moment where things changed. republicans were so out raged how he was treated even though he eventually won and is now on
That s what we re going to see. what you heard from the president, he s saying exactly what she said just. having this stepped up campaign schedule. on the other hand it seemed he was thinking past the november election into possible fall out from if the night isn t exactly what he s hoping it is. thanks to ashley for the shout out there. sump a tru such a trumpian constru construct. he would own the victory and have nothing to do with the defeat. would he own it like president obama when the democrats took a blood bath at the poles. he made it clear he didn t want to embrace that comparison. he is putting himself out there. the white house as ashley written has made him the center of this effort for the republicans to keep the house and the senate. i think there is some concerns
Up. then there s the sharp turn around two weeks ago. two or three weeks ago that coincide with the kavanaugh republicans is soft republicans coming home. does it have legs? will it last? 19 days is an eternity in politics. there s probably two or threepl better shape now than they were three weeks ago but in the house, it s still pretty dire condition. ashley, it does occur to me, you start thinking about 19 days how in this course of this presidency, in particular, the world can seem to change in the course of 19 days. you look at those gains republicans have made over the last few weeks and i guess it isn t hard to conceive of a scenario here and you talk about
I ve seen is john tester and what he did to a great, great man. admiral ronny jackson. reporter: as the ranking member of the veterans affairs committee, he revealed allegations of improper behavior that took down trump s pick for v.a. secretary and trump quickly called for tester s resignation. if you known the president would go after you so hard, would you still do it? so if you look at what my job is united states senator, it s to confirm nominees. i got a job to do. i did my job. reporter: trump won montana by 20 points. for his july visit tester bought welcoming ads in newspapers across the state but republicans are hitting back. testers vote against trump on tax cuts and immigration. he may look like montana but he votes like them. reporter: tester s most effective answer to trump s popularity may be this. i think personality plays big
