News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Well hear less from him on tax cuts and republican policies that might refer it makes a difference depending on the brand of republican running, especially if they are an incumbent. Desantis has been pro actsive aligning himself with trump. To put it mildly. So of course hes going to do that. On fox every night talking about it. Hes going to be somebody that thinks this is a great, great boost. There are a lot of republicans that are squeamish about the thing the president says that dont line up what they are doing and saying. Florida is a good experiment for this. I was covering the governors race. This is a great experiment. Look, i think in the general election, trump is more of a negative than he is a positive. I think he motivates democrats in a way they have not been motivated since barack obama came onto the National Scene in 2008. But, in the primary, he can
deliver nominations now as weve seen. Desantis aligning him
take them on in 2020. let s say i m running against pocohontas or crazy bernie. i have to hand it to bernie. i saw him up there the other day, had hairs getting whiter and whiter and getting crazier and craze zier we ll stop donal trump. i looked at my wife, you ve got to hand it to that guy, he doesn t quit. so there was it s basically like political stand-up, right? warren is wrong, he s pretty good at the political stand-up routine too. that s a real skill he has up there. and he does get at the sort of colonel of something, the fact that democrats do not have an obvious front-runner and this is a primary movement we haven t seen in a long time. there s no hillary-like establishment force. there s no obvious fenom on the
but i think one of the things for democrats when we look this year and also to 20 is that you can tailer the message when you re running in these different house districts. and when you run for president the message will bring a big tent message to appeal to a lot of different types of democrats and that s i think the debate they are having right now and they haven t really landed on sort of what that s going to look like. just real fast, that kamala harris sound bite you played is the sound bite her folks wanted out there. they blasted that out. they are laying down a marker she s going to run unapologetically on that. a kux things on that note, it talks about the republicans and it s actually about democrats. what she s saying there to the more class economic focused people in the primary, i.e. bernie sanders, bring it on. i m going to run unapologetically as someone talking about these issues of race and gender. and she said that saying the

country and how he is hurting with women and catching it from some of the conservative side their supporters saying he is not conservative enough. of course they are a little bit on edge about where donald trump would stand in a general election. this particular poll did not include democrat responses. if you look at the national average whereas donald trump was trailing hillary clinton sometimes by 30 points two months ago today is within five points in a general election. that shows real movement and the kind of movement we haven t seen input apresidential politics in long time. we ll see. bush could beat hillary clinton by a couple of points close to the margin of error. rubio in that category and republicans that has to be their top priority. they want to win and put someone forward who can win. when you take a look at the regional contest, caucuses in
