cook. we love putting together trump money tanls as you know. everybody is enjoying this. >> i come from louisiana. what's wrong with a swamp? exactly. i'm have miami i didn't mine the everglades. charlieeditor and publisher of cook political report. i put these together because it seems when you look at three of the more famous frankly in our lifetimes three of the bigger waves, 74, 94, and 06, all three had a -- had this sort of we have got to clean up washington backdrop. the watergate election of '74, '94, the banking scandal. the congressional scandals of '92 and term limits. '06 he had a mess of ethics issues. other issues, iraq and health care would be there. it feels like mulvaney handed democrats a message for once. >> i think mulvaney ought to get royalties for every time that is replayed in democratic commercials this year. i think he could make a lot of money and retire on that. no, that's a terrible messaging. i don't know why in the heckled want to say that. but the other thing -- when you were saying that, the other thing that hit me is with these kind of wave elections -- and you have watched this stuff for a really long time, too, they always go bigger than you think.

the gentlemen next to charlie cook. got you. lisa from pbs and are you patricia? i am still learning the ropes here. ok. thanks. from the washington times and alex den der at the end of the table so i hope we can get to end. janet look to the "wall street journal." >> thank you for come, senator. toi could take you door senate race in tennessee for a machine min. >> yes. u spoke of phil. wondering. do you think he has powerful crossover appeal that he willdry votes doespublican that mean he is in a serious she could last? >> so i have no idea, you know, what is happening intern heel races. i don't plan to campaign against friend. let's be beyond that. i don't know what the dynamics are. think the mild continue see state into shows that spar has found to point is probably a little heavy and my guessing, i am geg guesting charlie, i can give give you the answer and i am guessing down six but down for real six. so will he have crossever appeal? no question. i mean, you know, we have significant republican fund-raisers who are hosting fund-raisers for him today. there

get in hook from the wall street from the- janet hook wall street journal, the gentleman next to charlie cook, , and are you patricia? i'm still learning the ropes. alexandra stanley at the end of the table. janet hook from the wall street journal. janet: thank you for coming, senator. if i could take you back to the senate race. has reallyk phil brought crossover appeal to draw a lot of republican votes? lose?uld marsha blackburn sen. corker: i don't have any what the races. i don't plan to campaign against a friend. but beyond that, i don't know what the dynamics are. shows marshal that blackburn is down 10 points, is probably a little heavy. and my guess, if i were guessing, i am guessing she is six.ix but for real will he have crossover appeal? no question. we have significant fundraising ahead. he will have significant crossover appeal. will they base their vote solely the first though that takes place, and that is who was going to be the majority leader, but i think he has real appeal. don't think it, i know it. the question is, is it in a state like ours that is still a red state, is e

. >> charlie cook though of the cook political report, the prognosticator of these sorts of things, is calling you one of the most -- or the most vulnerable democrat on his list. you're in florida. it is a battle ground state. it is a state that the president won. it is a state that he's still pretty popular in. what are you going to do to appeal to florida voters? does that mean embracing ideas that you agree with the president on or does that mean going the other direction and appealing to the more progressive, the more liberal voters in the democratic party in florida? >> katy, this is going to turn on a lot of issues. for example, you can go to the beach in florida and look out there and you don't see any oil rigs. that's not just a local issue. i passed that law in the last decade to protect the largest testing and training area for the united states military in the world, which is the gulf of mexico off of florida. that also protects our $60 billion a year tourism industry. or, katy, you can go to the other coast and look at cape canaveral. there is a revived space industry, both

. >> charlie cook, dave wasserman, got them both. >> what do you think?k you guys hold the senate based upon the latest results. >> there are no point spreads. you don't get a point spread victory income political races. you just have to win the election. >> there's no moral victories. >> no, the republicans won. elections are based on the map, which ruth was talking about with the senate, money, which is basically tied, democrats have raised a lot of money but it's spread over a lot more candidates and the message. harry reid put it up plainly. impeachment is not a good message for the democrats. i think it's a huge mistake for them. >> pelosi is trying to put that down. >> i think you're right. trying to make this -- in liberal districts, progressive districts, african-american districts where the people are progressive, they love this and will come out and vote. >> the senate will be very difficult for the democrats but when you look at what may be going against the republicans, part of what's not helping is all these scandals coming out of the trump a

you know that migrant tarvan arrived in border charlie cooke is with us and he just came back i thinkck from the arizona border mid-tucson is that right sir charlie what had did you ?iend what was there? >> it's you know i was just so frustrated to see illegal immigration issues so talking with a good buddy we were so frustrated and like let's go down to border to see it for ourselves and we filmed a little video that is really gone viral millions of views and there's no border. i mean, people think that there's a wall we made a video making fun of it. there's a copper bar. literally that's what our politicians are using as a sad execution to defend our country against ms13 and flow of drugs and illegal guns coming into our country. and it wasn't -- it's totally and completely unprotected in number one with drug corridor in the u.s.. and this is where the heroin, opioid epidemic is really being -- you know fueled fueled from so s astonishing people need to see images and understand how weak our borders really are. because this idea that we have any sorts of barrier at all is just comp

cook relationship. they have big differences on immigration. neil: charlie was right on this.about just apple, but the technology industry, all the industries, the president a big old thank you for the tax cut some, in the technology industry say no, no, no, he's not going to get a big old kiss from us, but how do they respond? >> i think cook is instructive. he didn't give a big thank you to the president. what he did was he said we are going invest more in the united states. so he's someone who is responding --. neil: welcome the rollback in regulation. >> they're closer on immigration than -- >> with the h1-b visa. >> aside from the nitty-gritty details. one thing the technology companies want, they want to be able to import people with ph.d.'s from india. so trump, if you look at trump's immigration policies, it's much more about skill sets coming in, and i don't see them being really that far apart. the implementation of that h1-b visas, they're going argue. the broad stroke is both silicon valley and trump have it right on immigration. neil: >> but there's three big them

the cook political report, same time that is happening, also shifted seven seats towards the democrat. 29 republican house members are resigning or retiring, pennsylvania congressman, charliedidate about his party's chances in november. >> certainly the energy, enthusiasm and anger is on the democratic side. in this election. there its no, no sugarcoating that. so, you know a big wave coming. some members have to get off the beach. >> with me, michelle grober, josh ernest, christina greer, and political scientist. so, there is a weird, there is something happening i think is interesting at this point. seven months out. if you look at the generic ballot. the lead the democrats had looks to have shrunk. the president's approval rating bumping in the 40s. not the worst. not like post charlottesville. all the stuff on polling looks like, bad but not catastrophic for republicans. maybe improving a little. if you look at fund-raising, political reports, special elections, the behavior of people like paul ryan, it looks like a disaster. >> candidate recruitment is something that would figure highly there. seeing quality and number of candidates the democrats have been able to rec
