>> joining us by skype, a talk show host -- good morning to you. >> good morning. hadarlier on in the show we a caller from virginia saying that by the time you get through iowa and new hampshire indent virginia, it doesn't matter as far as the decision-making

process -- what do you think about that perspective? >> i think that belongs to the political parties. inry sabado wrote a book which he called for constitutional lysing the political parties and setting up regional primaries. elevatingver advocate a political party to a constitutional guarantee, since we didn't have them when we first got started. that said, if the republicans are the democrats wanted it to be fairer, they should be listening to their constituents and setting up their own style of regional primaries. host: in comparison to other states, how much attention are you getting from either of the democrats involved in the process or president trump himself? o'rourke has been in charlottesville two times. he has been in the commonwealth four times. he is paid some attention. joe biden keeps saying charlottesville.

i think the case is made that it's going to be the whipping boy for the primary. i do know if the people who helped orchestrate the riots get a commission every time a politician uses us is a political hunching bag. been two years since the united the right rally. will it resonate in the campaign? using itey will keep as long as its course points. 2015oser in the 2017 gotrial race -- more votes than terry mcauliffe and tim kaine. the scare tactics worked. they got 400,000 more virginians out to the polls.

aty were all scared gillespie would be chasing little brown kids around in pickup trucks. host: given his own personal general, the attorney does it resonate into a campaign? guest: i think it will with certain candidates. i think they've avoided the governor and lieutenant evan are carefully. .e are term limited they can only run for the one term. he won't be worried about reelection. see they avoidl the governor quite handily. talk about the issues involved. what is your sense of the issues people are most interested about as they consider a president? guest: it's the economy.

right now, we see on most streets the economy doing well. you watch the media, they keep saying, well, we could, maybe. as if we learned nothing from lawrence of -- lawrence onald, leading into a new story with dot dot dot, is not journalism. but we seem to be leading into with,n the economic world maybe a recession, and if we all grab our wallets just a little tighter, that is when the recession actually starts. that is what happened in 2007. everyone bought just a little bit less and all of a sudden, the ripple began to start getting through this overly

service-based economy. host: doesn't change anything for virginia to go for donald trump? guest: i do not know virginia will go for donald trump and the electoral college. i think iowa does it this way, ringaps i am misremembe which state doesn't by congressional district, because carried the president that majority of the congressional districts, but would have still not gotten all of our electoral votes, but would have gotten the plurality of them, but i think that you will see states like ohio and michigan and pennsylvania stay steadily in the trump camp, so i --nk you will see when winning a reelection, but we have to keep the economy going strong which is less likely to see the whims and whimsy's of a couple of people holding onto

their wallets tighter, have an impact on it. host: is the focus on trade a help or hindrance to the president's? guest: i think it is a work in progress. i've been watching donald trump since he first announced he would build a tower in manhattan during my teen years, and you can never judge where donald j. trump in progress. you have to wait until the project is done and then look at it and say, oh, that is not as bad as i thought it was which is generally what happens with the president. host: a little bit about the senate race that will take place in virginia with mark warner, what the potential of him winning another term? guest: he has done a good job of keeping himself away from the fringes of the party. he has held many precedents with amy klobuchar. ishave teased him that he already her vice presidential nominee if she wins the

nomination. he has tried to keep himself as close to the center as possible, so it will be hard, too. you look at some of the things he has said about china and russia, it could be very competitive and it depends on the republican candidate. host: joe thomas, tell people about your showing how they can listen to you? throughe on 5:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. monday through friday. you can stream us online, we chv.com. host: announcer: watch campaign 2020 coverage of the democratic presidential camera does at the party convention. live coverage is saturday at 9:00 a.m. eastern on c-span, online at c-span.org, or listen with the free c-span radio app.
