go sunday morning and welcome to the choose your own adventure midterm laek election. is there a democratic wave coming? as a surge of post kavanaugh enthusiasm turned back the democrats momentum, there's data to support that. or could this be a typical midterm with democrats making modest dains? there'ta to support that too. we have plenty of new data this morning. here what "the wall street journal" poll shows withver two weeks ago to the mid tomorrows. among registered voters, democrats hold a seven point lead. that's down from the 12 point lead the democrats held just a month ago pre-kavanaugh. wait, there'sam more. g likely voters the democrs lead gro to nine, 50-5 50-41. it's the first time ever in our polling that our likely voter

model shows a better number for the democrat than the registered voter number. normally in midterms republicans have the likely voter advantage. what's different this year? it's the heightened and enthusiasm for democrats among mi millennials and latino women. president trump has his best numbers yet. 47% registered voters approve of his performance while 49% disapprove. that's stasubstantially better n last month. there are a lotti of qus leading up to this year's midterms. but here's what we do knows ther higher interest in the selection than any midterm we'v ev measured. turnouts can be through the roof. the divide between men and women is growingth emocratic

string of un among women.pport it will be the story of the next 16 days. >> democrats produce mobs. republicans produce jobs. >> president trump's closing argument is all about the base. >> democrats want to throw your borders wide open to deadlys dr and ruthless rgangs. >> aublican candidates are sounding more and more like mr. trump repeating dire warnings on oimigration. >> remember it's g to be an election of the caravan. >> it's coming from central uyerica. >> a that can do a body slam, he my candidate. >> i'm going to stomp all over your face with golf spike. >> candidates are even recycling mr. trump's insults. >> he's a low-energy person. >> with a fght for control of

the senate playing out in states the president won, this base first stragy banks on mr. trump's ability to bring out rural ver wrs s where he is popular. but his rhetoric is unlikely to help in burban districts. in two straight polls women favored democratic controlssf congy a whopping 25 points. i think're going to hell in a hand basket. i just can't believe some of the anticks that go on with the president of the united states. >> 70 of the 75 house seats rateasompetitive are held by republicans, including 25 that hillary clinton won in 2016. democrats need to flip just 23 of 7 thoseto win back the house. but the democratic enthusiasm advantage has narrowed after the kavanaugh fight. and the question is whether those fundamentals will be enough to produce not just a takeover, but a wave.

>> pre-existing conditions. >> meanwhile, democrats are avoiding a message remaining laser focused on a single issue. >> protections for pre-existing conditions. >> protections fo pre-existing conditions >> for pre-existing conditions. >> pre-existing conditions. >> pre-existing health conditions. >> with president obama largely absent and nancy pelosi unpopular with independence, states are runnin away from the national party. >> are you a democrat? >> i am. >> proud democrat? >> my gosh, it's hard toay pru proud. i'm not sure that people are proud of parties anymore. >> changing players make sense. i think we ought to change the player. >> joining me is dick durbin. senator durbin, welcome back to "met tee the press". >> that last voice in there was therm tennessee governor

who is running for the senate seat in tennessee calling fo a, quote, change of players when it comes to the democratic leadership. you're a member of this democriceadership. when you hear that, is there going to be a change of players, yourself saerptenschumer, nancy pelosi or make your case for wht sn't necessary. >> that's tomorrow's newspaper. today is about an election on november 6. we're focusing on the issues that make a difference. i know you probably had thep pre-existing phrase in there a dozen times and that's because the american people put that as the highest priority. tharp they want protection for their families. they know the republicans have voted to take away that protect and filed lawsuits to end it. that's why it's such an important issue over and ov again. >> you heard kirsten -- are

there voters that you eed to win over who don't like the democratic party but you're having to basically make the case that you may not like us but don't you like the other side less? >> it gets down to this. there are more and more independent vote and i think kirsten is correct in making that assertion. the bottom line is we are doing well with the independent voters. take a look at what mitch mcconnell gave us this last week. an insight into where the republicans are going if they continueeso control con in order to deal with the deficits they created, with a tax bill for the wealthy people and special interest, they are going to cut social security, medicare, and medicaid. those are fighting words for a lot of people, not just pemocrats, but inents as well. pre-existing conditions, making sure the social securd medicare and medicaid are strong for years to come, that's a good basis get a lot of people

elected to congress. adi want to play for you an that jackie rosen, the democratic nominee running in nevada, it's interesting in the message she's trying to send to nevada voters which may surprise some viewers. take a listen. >> she wrote legislation to proo improve veterans health care and president trump sign today into law. >> here's a democraticat s candidate talking about legislation she got signed by presidntt trump and eslly trying to distance herself from house democratic leader nancy pelosi. what does that say about the power of the anti-trump message. >> i can tell you jackie roesen obviously knows the pulse of nevada and she has come orward withssage that plays across the united states. agree with the president when he's be prepared to fight him if necessary when he's wrong.in i'm wowith the

administration to disclose the cost of prescription drugs on the ads they put on television. secretary azar of the trump administration whom i did not vote for in the cabinet is working withme. i'd be glad to tell the people of illinois andrthat's an impor issue. when they get down to pre-existing conditions and making p sure that thsident has someone in congress who will keep an eye on him when he goes to an extreme position. >> one of the other messages was jack rosen trying to distance herself from the nancy pelosi attacks. i he this from people who definite pelosi and say ifat demoran the amount of ads that republicans ran against if pelosi they ran those same number of ads against mitch mcconnell, he'd a pariah too. why don't you go after republican leaders the way republicans go after democratic leaders? >> i don't think it's a message that really carrs the day.

voters are listening for both political parties to say something other than a political squabble under way in way. they're looking for uso address the issues that affect them there & futurreand their f of prescription drugs, making sure health insurance is available andor afble. the republicans can't win on those, so they get personal. >> i've talked to a o lot democratic activists this week in nevada and arizona. lot of democratic strategists and a lot of them complained off the record about how senate democrats handl the kavanaugh situation. they're upset because it impacted those races. both races have changed po post-kavanaugh. what would you do differently? >> that's a good question but a tough one to answer. e were dealt cards we never anticipated. the fact that there will be a letter coming forward from dr.

ford which eventually became public which led to a hearing which we had not evenplanned, all of those things were unforeseen. this was not some strategyla th wa out. it unfolded this way. we did the best we could under those circumstances. did thebelieve that we right thing in voting against brett kavanaugh for the supreme court. >> i want to moveo the issue f the now confirmed dead journalist jamal khashoggi. 17 saudi government after days now confirming that yes, he died at the hands of some saudi intelligence agents. i've got to put up the changing story. it's amazing. it took them ten days they were saying things like we're investigating, they're looking, he left he consulate. that was one of their first explanations, then last week they started working on a cover story. president trump suggested rogue killers were b tome. then finally they claim it was essentially an accidental death as a result ofome sort of brawl.

is there any part of this story that you accept as cdible from the saudi arabian government? >> no. as a matter of ct, the only person on earth outside of the udi kingdom is president trump. here's what we ought to do. we ought to formally expel the saudi ambassador until there is a completion of the third party investigation into the kidnap, murder and god knows who followed. unless the saudi kingdom understands that civilized countries around the world are going to reject this conduct and make sure they pay a price for it, they'll continue doing it. they have a journalist who is urrently in prison for criticizing the saudi regime. there's another man who is also facing imprisonment and torture if necessary by them unless he changes his criticism of the regime. if we want them to stop this and make it clear we don't accept it, we need to be decisive.

journalist. stop our assistance to their war in yemen. let them know they're going to pao a price. >>u believe the crown prince was ordered this killing? nator corker this morning says he believes that the crown prince himself ordered this. >> i believe it. five of his top personal body ards are among those currently accused. his personal body guard one of them has said publicly a year ago i don't move without a orom the executive. the crown prince has his fingerprints all over this an the fact that he is heading up the investigation makes it totally incredible. >> senator, i preciate your time and for coming on and sharing your views. much appreciated. >> thanks, chuck. >> joining me is the vice chairm tillis of north carolina. welcome back to "meet the press ". >> good morning. >> let me star the killing

of mr. khashoggi. you may not have seen but ate least heard timeline it took the saudis 17 days. same question i had for senato durbi durbin. is there any part of the explanation that you find credible? >> no, not at this int. i agree with everything dick durbin just said. we've got to get to the botm it. saudi arabia, you do not do something of this magnitut withving clearance from the top. we need to find out who that is accountable. >> are you as convinced as senato nators corker and durbin that the crown prince himself ordered this killing? >> it looks like it based on the pele who were involved in the actual act. that's why we need help from the turkish officials and then there has to be a consequence. >> what does a consequence look like and what is the goal of the consequence? to get the saudis -- the king na a new crown prince? what would be the goal of the punishment? >> well, i i thinkis to hold the people accountable who committed this horrible act and

if it is the crown prince, then i think that something that has to be explored. i don't believe you can have someone who would authorize this sort of an act be in a position of power wi a nation that's very important to us, but we have to have limits as to how w far ld go to work with them in a veryfficult complex part of the world. i think we have to do the investigation with the intelligence community, with the tur turkish officials outside of the crown prince. >> are you at all concerned that the president seems to be maybe more patient than necessary with the saudi government? >> well, think that all you're seeing is the public response. i know that the state department, the intelligence community, and a number of other people are taking this seriously. we've got a lot of resources focused on it. i think the president will take the appropriate action when all the factsare in. >> can you imagine us having a relationship with the saudi government that's positive, that the crown prince is still there? >> no, i don't think so.

again, if the facts lead to what we all suspect they will, i think it will be very problematic for our relationship going forward. >> let me moveo the midterms. the president says these idterms are about the followin kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense. is that the best summation that you would advise republican candidates to give around the cotry? >> i thi those are factors, but i believehioric job creation, historically low unemployment among latinos and african-american, the economic r pence, the work we've done to get natotoontribute to our a lot defense, there are of things that resonate with the voters. i look at the numbers you gave earlier and how they're playing in starts we're targeting. we're looking good in a number of other states. i expect to add to the number in the senate. >> i want s tow you a column that a conservative wrote in

bloomberg earlier thiweek. at the end of the 2017, he was talking about the republican agenda, how speaker paul ryan was pushing republicanske to t up welfare reform. the trump administration talked up an infrastructureill. the party compromised by not making a concerted effort on either but republicans are asking for voters to augment that marmjority now and theytill have no agenda. what would you say is the case for reelecting a republican mar majority in the senate? >> i think you go back to the age olequesty iquestion in elec. do you feel better about your circumstances than you did two years ago and the answer is yes. i think most voters vote their pocketbook. ugho believe the kava matter ended up increasing intensity on our lyside, but o slightly. we typically have greater intensity going into the off elar ctions, but i think this is about economic security, economic g those are promises that we'vema

and we've fulfilled. it's difficult to get things done. economies, those sorts of things matter to the voters and i think they're going to put nus in a great position n the senate. >> one issue you didn't mention that senator durbin mentioned nonstop was health care and the issue of pre-existing conditions. in 2014, you ran, i covend your race d there. you ran as repeal and replace obamacare republican. why aren't we hearing that this time? is it because of the popularity of the pre-existing condition clause? >> for one a thing it' false narrative to say that we want to remove pre-existing conditions. i filed a bill to try, in the event that a lawsuit throws out the affordable care act, we have to have place for people with pre-existing conditions to land. ee also have to allow young adults under the of 26 to be on their health care i plan. ita false narrative to say

that p that republicans want to kill that. >> but in fairness you've had ur years to comep with an alternative and two years with full republican control of wa iington. >> anow you know how d.c. works probably better than i do. you've got to get 60 votes to make that happen. we did through reconciliation get rid of the individual mandate and take some of the underpinnings of the affordable care act out. we've goto replace in the same way we've got to make sure that social security and medicare can be paid for and medicaid over time. what the democrats areot mentioning are widely publicized reports that say if we stay on the current tragedy we're going to have a crisis in funding in those programs. no one wants to take away dicare or social security or medicaid from people who need it. but we have to have a sustainable sn and we need 60 votes to get that done. >> math is a funny thing here in washington. nobody seems to want to ever cite it.co we have a breaking deficit, a record breakinerdebt day when you watch the

debt clock, but a record breaking deficit that may surpass a trillion dollars annually, never mind obviously the multiples of that in the the president yesterday is talking about a new tax cut. you're talking auteforming social security and medicare. how are you going to pay for this tax cut the president is apparently proposing? >> well, weoe got make sure it's at least supported by facts around die nynamic growth. it has to pay for itself. i voted against the spending bill because it was too much money being spent. and so we've got to get the american people to recognize that we have a powder keg of dynamite and a debt that's continuing to grow. we're reaching a point where our debt service could exceedur contribution, our investment in the military. we've got to make sure the american people'v understand got to balance our books, we've got to be on a budget like the american people.

>> you just said you wanted any new tax cut to pay for itself. this current tax cut is not paying for itself. the debt is increasing, not deyoeasing. >> ilook at the scoring for economic growth, i think there is a way to rationalize that this tax cut will pay for itself through sustained economic growth. if we don't make the numbers it won't. but if we do and we're already seei it,hen i do believe we create the net incrementalve e. it's not going to be muff to come close to retiring our $1 trillion in debt. that's where we'll have to look at tough choes so we can balance our books. >> tom tillis, republican from north caroliit, i'll leave there. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. when we come back, moren the midterm elections. which is stronger in thes republic the sustains democratic anger at president trump? and some of what i heard from voters on my trip out west to

arizona and nevada. >> i look at the people who are doing these negativ ads and then i almost to a point want to ♪ ignition sequence starts. 10... 9... guidance is internal. 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ♪ comcast business built the nation's largest gig-speed network. then went beyond. beyond chasing down network problems. to knowing when and where there's an issue. beyond network complexity. to a zero-touch, one-box world. optimizing performance and budget. beyond having questions. to getting answers.

welcome back to the panelists. eugene robinson, peggy onan, my friend katy tur and david brody. welcome all. so trying to figure out what thisoll is showing us today in our new nbc "wall street hiurnal" poll. let put sort of -- put it a little bit of historical context

here. presidential job approval connected to seats lost in the rst midterm, we go back, here's president trump sitting at 47%. that seems to ban improvement for him. what would 47% job rating mean in the pt when itomes to a midterm result? president obama had exactly that. a 47% job approval rating in 2010. his party lost 63 seats. bill clinton in 1994 in this same period of time in october had a 48% approval rating and lost 54 seats.d peggy, shoepublicans feel better or worse this morning when they look at the nbc news "wall street journal" poll? >> i think they should feel as confused as everybody else. the good news for republicans is were ix months ago talking about a blue wave that we knew was coming and who is qing to be very significant. we're notte talking that way anymore. it looks kind of more interesting and complicated state by state. thecontinuing mystery that is not a mystery is how a president

and an administration can have what is essentially peace and prcoperity ormic growth and no new wars and still be struggling to get to 50% which in the approval polls, which if you can't, is a drag on all of our people. it just is the centra fact i think of the coming election. >> that's if you accept standard political gravy and i don't think you can do that with donald trump. i do think there is an argument to be madeor people tellin po pollsters, but believes another thing and peop should be weary of this, and i hate to be debbie downer for democrats or for anyone or for the standard messaging, i should say, but this feels a lot li01 it feels a lot like how everyone was talking in 2016. thg democrats goo win, it's going to be a landslide, donald trump ising to pull down

republicans, there's no way they'll win. when you go out and talk to people on the road, they talk ar about health a lot, but they're not necessarily talking about, when you talk to a variety of people, how much they hate donald trump. >> let me bring up amy walter. you sort of channelled her column that i wanted to use to get you guys talking. she noted the difference between or the similarities to 2016 and she writes the clinton camwiign le a message that emphasized her stability and his, meaning trump's, lack of judgment and desscency. this year they're leading to tweets and leading to the capable tv panel let me put up the issue numbers. these are the gaps on the generic ballot among those who say the economy is number one. republicans haveoi 28 advantage. among those that say immigration is their top issue, they have a 19% advantage. those on the republican side. look at this advantage for who care among those about health care which is with the economy one of the topwo

issues and it's a 47% advantage. >> and that's what -- that's why democrats are going to keep talking about health care and pre-existing conditions. you're going to hear that phrase until 's ringing in your ears. there still could be a blue wave or might not be any wave at all. the only thing that feels thke 2016 is squishiness and the big uncertainty for democrats to do really, really well, mocratic voters have to do something they don't usually do which is vote in midterms and so people who don't usually vote in midterms have to come out. for republicans to hold on, they actualth have to do same thing, even though republicans do vote inidrms. the trump base is not made of the hard core base. it's not the regular voters. he brought out people who don't often or usuay vote, regularly vote. >> that trump base has been fid

with donald trump, and i will say this, the democrats had the anti-trump venom going. they had the supersoaker, if you will. the problem is now publicans have their own super soak ner brett kavanaugh. i will just say you mntioned 2010 and 1994. what wasg motivatn those elections? the tea party in 2010, both decrats suffered under it. this time around you don't have that full on hate because you have it on both sides. i think that's a big difference.

>> one specific group to watch, if youber the special election in alabama, black women voted in huge numbers and we -- people i know wn there. before that election i heard stuff i hadn't heard before in terms of organizing activity, enthusiasm for elections. i would watch that, particularly throughout the south. in a state like north carolina, south carolina, in georgia especially where there's a big governor's election, i would watch that group. >> peggy, i want to point out one other thing. one of the missing pieces of analysis in 2016 that we didn't surface in time that i think would have helped us understand the election better, which was where people were leaning that didn't like both clinton and trump and he won those both voters. these are people that don't like either political party now. in september the split between who did they want to be control of congress, people were

negative on both parties was advantage democr s. october, among those that are negative on both, it is suddenly an open break here towards the democrats, 59-17. it was narrow in september. october ca. the ones that were negative on bothea brokely towards donald trump. what does that tell you? >> now it's breaking heavily towards the democrats general, towards that kind of thing. i don't know exactly what it means. my sense in this campaign in a way to bop off something you said is that there are a lot of different local isues coming up that have something to do with trend.rall i'm also wondering if issues like dick durbin mentied, he started saying those republicans are going to cut your social secuty, they're going to cut your medicare, cut your medicaid. that's something that' going to coming up.

and many people who had supported donald trump were very don't touch my social security, medicare and medicaid. so maybe a little bit of that is going on. i've had anecdotal from some republicans who say they're nervous that some trump voters .ay vote democratic because they trust donald tru that's who they trust. punish the republicans. >> they n't really like the republican party or republican gop. >> but that's why donald trump is going out on the campaign trail and ming it all about himself. i am at the top of the ticket even though i'm not. if you don't vote for republicans, you're not vrting me. he's making it about trump. >> i have to pause it here. we're gointo pick it up. when we come back, the revolvino in the trump west wing keeps revolving.co white houssel don mcgahn became the latest person to go through the door and one man who walked through that door is here to tell us about what it's like to go through the revolving door and work for president trump.

it's anthony scaramucci. he's next.mo here's from my visits to arizona and nevada. >> well, i have my nephew that he's a dreamer. he feels a fear and i told him, for the 250k service members who transition out of the u.s. military every year... ...one of the tofohest parts is the searca job that takes advantage of the skillsne you've gwhile serving. you can now search with the phrase 'jobs for veterans' directly on google... t ...an enter your military occupational specialty code. google brings together job openings from across the web that match the skills you gained in yourilitary role.o just click tapply and use your experience to guide your ture. this is not a screensaver.game. this is the destruction of a cancer cell by the body's own immune system, thanks to medicine that didn't exist until now.ve and today can our life.

worthy and shortest stint in th west w one of those five, anthony scaramucci, who led the white house media shop for 11 days. he's out with a new book about is time in president trump's orbit, particularly before he became president. "trump, the blue car esident". welcome to "meet the press". >> happy sunday. >> the timing of your book coming out comes as we got reports of a screaming match between a former boss of yours, jo kelly, current chief of staff, the national security adviser john bol ton ovton over issue immigration. according to our sources, over comments the national security adviser made to the secretary of homeland security. john kelly apparently walked out furious. there wasumors of potential resignations. how pham wfamiliar was that sce you? >> was there anyro nity? >> probable some profanity.

>> really, it's not that famili to me. my incident was on a phone line with a report where i shouldn't have trusted and so than's my faul i totally own that. but i think the more relevant thing is, you know, people are playing like the nfl, verb contact. people are playing hard for the presidt. i don't know what happened in that specific incident, but i know that the west wing and the e president set up the west wing, it's tough if there for people. >> you were pretty tough on general kelly in your bookst the general'e would be in direct conflict with the way mr. trump conducted business. he doesn't work in a precise way. never has, never will. it's been over a year since he became chief of staff but my scoutingor rbecame quite accurate. >> i think that's pretty self-evident. even this past week, i applaud the generas service to the

country. obviously 40 years in the u.s. marine corp.a this i very different job. this is a civilian based job and i think he's tried to apply military-like management style to a group of civilians. that doesn't necessarily and by the way, the president has a free wheeling style very different from john kelly. you seem prettypset at him. >> he didn't need to fire me the thy he fired me, and i had this conversation witpresident. >> he could have done it in a different manner? >> totally. i raised a tremendous amount of money and did countless hours in the campaign and even after the president was inaugurate rated. he was trying to make a spectacle out of it and he got what he wanted. i write about in the book what i thought was an honest assessment of him. >> should the president have the

chief of staff given the way he likes to work? >> i think he needs a chief of staff but he need one that likes him and gets his >>personality. ou don't think john kelly like the president? >> do you? i don't know him personally. >> i travel around the question and i ask people that retor rhel question. it doesn't comess like he does. the bob woodward, he seems like an accurate journalist. i don't like john kelly calling the president the things he's called him. for me i have no problem standing up for myself or telling you what i think about john kelly or the situation with the president. having said, that i applaud the guservice, but it's not just me, chuck. he hurt the morale inside the place. he's hurt the president. and he has hiss fits. he left last week after the report that he had with ambassador bolton that's his personality. the good news is i'm being vindiced by that because he's

demonstrating his personal the way he really is. >> you've interacted with president trump. as candidate trump you weren't quite on board at first with the idea of him being president. you had other candidates you were interested in. you were formerly with scott walker. what finally convincedyou that donald trump had what it took? >> i met with the psident the day after "the apprentice" f finale. we were joking about him being president and i didn't believe him. when i explained my loyalties were to scot walker and jeb bush, he then said after i clean their clocks, will you comerk for me and i said absolutely. so after the south carolina t primary i we the president's office with senator scott brown, who was a friend mine, we went occupy there together and we had a gre conversation and we began building the block for the financing operation.

then when he brought in steve mnuchin, things really started kick in. >> watching a bunch of democrats thinking about trying to run ainst president trump in 2020, we've seen different potential candidates trying to go after him in different ways, michael avenatti is someone who i think people have been trying to put thoutwo of together for some sort of talk show, he's tried to go at him directly. elizabeth warren responded to some of the criticism, the crazu nickname more formally. what is the best way to go after pres aent trump? whice would you give a democrat and how do you go after his insults? >> as you reknow, ily care for the president and i'm a big supporter, so i don't like thving them advice. i think go into the trump insect twitter like, so t minute he shoots at them they they help themselves and get vaporized. senator warren should read my book so shean can under how the president -- you have to
