We have see voter segments that are already leaving donald trump. they took a risk on him. they re mostly suburban women who have peeled away, but there are more than that. so we ll see how it develops. very quickly, i m going get my last two members of our panel in, phillipe. for hillary clinton, it was always a puzzle that she had to talk about the republican voters in a certain way that didn t turn them off and then she got caught up in your damning them. if you re supporting what donald trump is doing, it becomes difficult to peel them away idealogically from what they re doing. and if what he is doing is racism, what do you say about the folks who are cheering him on? no, it s a great point. you know, in addition to hillary in 2016 making her comment about basket of deplorables, which i wish she had not said at the time, and i think she wishes she hadn t said at the time, it turns out she was dead on. if you go back to 2008, you remember barack obama said people with their gun ....
Down the last minute. yeah, that s true. but, phillipe, what about the walkout we re hearing in the dnc summer meeting. does this cause the problems we saw some of in 16 where if my person is not the winner that we re going to see some defections? how does the dnc and the democrats manage this? well, you have to divide it. i mean, the criticisms that the clinton campaign and myself as someone who worked for hillary for more than a decade and a half is what senator sanders did or didn t do after the convention. i don t think what s happening pretty much 11 months before the convention can be called infighting. i mean, it s competing. this is a nomination process. people are supposed to be showing contrast, and if it gets a little heated, it gets a little heated. now that doesn t mean that someone should go from highlighting the difference between their positions on medicare for all to bringing out ....
More than governor palin did for john mccain, her own top of the ticket. i understand your point. as long as we all come together, that s fine. we just have to come together no later than the convention. i worry that won t happen, phillipe. as somebody who doesn t support trump, i just worry that the party won t be able to get it together. as of right now, ten people have qualified for the next debate. but ten is still ten too many. let me ask you this. does any of them really stand a chance to get this president in a bind because the problem on the republican side is donald trump represents one thing one minute, another, another minute. it s hard to debate a guy that you don t know where he stands, and he s the president. yeah. it s very troublesome in that way is that you don t really know who s coming to the gun fight, frankly or what kind of ....
Gunther bring. and i think that s what s worrisome to democrats. because republicans are saying he will get re-elected because the power of the incouple by any chancy is so great, we are going to have to have a really smoking gun to take him down. and frankly the moment is the democrats seem to not want to coalesce behind just a few people. it s still so fragmented. the problem is i think the biggest campaign for the democrats is coming from donald trump. he is the chairman of the democratic campaign. sure. thank you, rina, and thank you, phillipe. and a quick programming note, tonight i will speak with new jersey governor phil murphy and mayor ras baraka about the newark water crisis. again, 5:00 p.m. eastern right here on politicsnation. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ....
States that it too can fight back and doesn t have to suffer economically. just off the coast is one of the world s busiest shipping lanes and this is something that iran has done many times in the past. it puts pressure on the straights to let the world know that it is feeling pressure and it is feeling too much pressure and finds it unacceptable. it could be that the hard liners decided they re going to let the world know that they had enough and that they can also fight back and disrupt international shipping. thank you. i want to bring back elise jordan and phillipe there s always tensions in this region. we know that they re being economically strangled and possibly trying to shake things up. could this result in a shooting ....
