and chris wilson is a gop pollster and the ceo of wpa intelligence. ormer executive director of the texas republican party. gentlemen, thank you for being here. chris, donald trump won the upper midwest. he broke through that blue wall, but he didn't totally shatter the wall. he won by a very small margin. these policies he is putting in place, is he threatening to lose that margin? even if only a handful of people don't like him? >> well, i think that the jury is still out on that. one of the reasons why donald trump was able to win those areas, as you point out, in 2016 is by speaking to a group of people that i thought you did a good job of chronicling that had been left behind. there had been a group that voted for republicans and dims and failed to speak to effectively. what donald trump was able to do, while he may be losing the upper edge, upper income, more suburban areas, he flipped these rural blue cloler areas. you have to give him credit for that. your point is dead on. is he able to have more press conferences like yesterday where he decla

leftist populist could under his money lopez obrador who's got a clear lead i'm here now with chris wilson from the wilson center as mix constitutes talk a little bit more about this so this isn't the first time that as manuel lopez obrador has run he's run in two elections before and been defeated what's changed this time yet this is a totally different scenario in the sense that mexicans are really frustrated with the whole political system they feel like they've tried the paan that ruled between two thousand and two thousand and twelve they tried the p.r.i. which ruled earlier as a single party system and then in two thousand and twelve to two thousand and sixteen but none of those parties got rid of corruption none of those parties were able to contain violence in mexico none of those parties were able to bring people out of poverty insufficient levels to meet the aspirations of mexicans and so there's just an overwhelming feeling of frustration and a willingness to try just about anything now in two thousand and six was the weather was seen as sort of a danger to mexico in two thousan

joining us republican pollster chris wilson. hey, chris. >> hey there, trish.: are you surprised by any of this? >> well, one of the biggest predictors of midterm electoral success is the economy. i think it is really important that the president is spending his time focusing on the economy. nice to get away from some other issues that have been distracting over the course of the last few months to spend time on this am i surprised? no. 88% number is remarkable. hard-pressed of 88% of people that approve of their own mother during the course of the year. to see that level of approval with republicans is impressive. also to see, i see this is a lot of time of work we do in stats. we do focus groups with swing voters, independents, democrats. they may not appreciate some of the things that happen on twitter or personal actions but people are hard-pressed to find a complaint with the way the economy is going. trish: as i said from the beginning, he has very, very good economic policies. the tax cuts, that's good. we want to enable, less regulation. that is good. w

. >> former missouri state representative chris wilson is a republican strategist and they both joinorld can dick durbin come up with a straight face, say this is like the tile and soccer players trapped in a cage? cave? >> they are all children separated from their parents through no fault of their own, be it soccer players or migrants from south america, they are all kids in traumatic situations and us as god fearing christians should be concerned about the welfare of all kids. i'm happy to see that eight of those soccer players have been evacuated and my thoughts and prayers are also with kids who have been forcibly separated from their families. be that soccer players in a cave or a mexican and el salvador in immigrants, they all are reunited. >> the president signed an executive order to try to stop all of that, fair analogy, or not? >> it's absolutely terrible that children are being separated from their families but that means a legislative or executive fix. you have democrats standing in the way trying to make it, if you have a kid you get into the u.s. free card. kids are be

and chris wilson, who is a republican pollster. fred, i've got to go to you first. i was anxious to see larry kudlow this morning. before he joined the administration, he wrote a piece just a few weeks before urging the president not to move forward with tariffs. he's been a true free markets guy for decades. yet, this morning he claims that this problem was not of the president's own making. please take a listen. >> past presidents in both political parties have tried to fix the broken world trading system. china is the worst. all i'm saying is this is not of mr. trump's own making. this is something that mr. trump inherited. very unfair trading practices. this is a very difficult task. reform always is. there's a swamp for the world trading system, and he's trying to drain it. >> larry kudlow is right. unfair trading practices exist. credit to the president for taking them head on. but larry kudlow is not answering the question. the issue that we're facing today is the impact of these tariffs. by putting these tariffs forward, he's gone around congress, and he's c

- congressional majority but our next guest says not too fast, pollster and research analytics chris wilsonnt today guillermo as one of the prime opportunities, i will point to texas where republican turnout was up and democrat turn-up was lowest since 1920, the idea of enthusiasm that's going to manifest isn't playing out in primaries, there's a lot of excitement right after president trump was elected on the left and a lot of democrats have seen, people like ocasio-cortez, they are pushing the party to far to the left that makes it far more likely to be excited on what they've got and prospects may be moving forward. steve: the further the party moves to the left, you think about the person voting for them. >> right now they are trying to control losses in the senate because they are down in so many place where is they have incumbents and best opportunity to flip voter, highly-educated, suburban, white female turned off by donald trump's twitter account or rhetoric, what they are seeing is turned off by the rhetoric coming out of the maxine watters and whenever the party has moved so far

chris wilson, the u.s. news actually pride and on thick medium managing editor katie price.u think of that they are trying to sort of thing that the president back to the economy, talk about the economy and job opportunities, what she's doing a great deal of today because this is a winner for them. despite what the president says. >> it's always hard to get term to focus away from something negative happening and onto positive things. at the same time, republicans were right if they're going to push back on the unmitigated disaster that was his press conference with vladimir putin. the right to do things at the same time. you can criticize someone and support them on other issues. this is not your a democratically later things democrats do a republican because he liked everything he does fear the right to get him back on the economy, back on the good numbers, look at the good things happening to america. the same time, sit back and say you were great last week. >> is this a crisis that shall pass or does it state? a lot of people want to see notes in a meeting, what transpir

chris is back, april ryan and rick wilson. here's the question.resident, he's essentially, as i said before the break, april, he's created an enemies list. sarah sanders used the podium today to push it out to the public. we can't ignore that even though it's a shiny object. >> this president has an enemies list almost in every category, be it intelligence officials, be it the press. there is an enemies list on every platform for this president. but at issue, and this is a national security issue, this russia issue is bigger than people want to understand or care to believe. at issue, this president does not listen to his own intelligence community. then you have people from prior intelligence communities from other administrations who could help shed light on several topics. now, this president currently is fighting wars in afghanistan and fighting against isis. we are not at a point where we can go and take on iran if that happens. we are not at a point where we can take on north korea if that happens, we're not at a point we can take on russia.
