and cornell bellcher. democrats gained big in the house and they lose ground in the senate, what does that tell you? >> well, look, every referendum in the history of referendums, every midterm in the history of midterms is a referendum on the president, particularly on the house of representatives. this year you had a senate landscape that favored republicans just because of the math. but in the house of representatives this midterm was a referendum on president trump and he badly lost that referendum. how did he lose it? number one he lost it with women. number two, he lost it with independents, women broke against him the day after the inauguration. and so any way you look at it, this is a big gain for democrats. >> charlie, i need you to help me out. i'm confused. in the senate the lines got clearer. three red state democrats lost, moderates are leaving office. so what does that mean for legislation in 2019? because when you look at the exit polls, people are not happy with how divided we are. people d

and brian won. >> cornell, is there any truth to that assessment? >> well, as you talk about georgia, because last time i checked, you don't get much redder state than georgia. if you go back to the last off year election where a democrat ran for a governor of georgia, that democrat by the name of carter, a good georgia name lost by over 200,000 votes. but this is part of the problem. if you're at the rnc, this is part of the problem. your playing field is shrinking. i thought georgia would be a battle ground state four or five years from now. this is a state that in the obama campaign we looked at. and sort of tried to see if we might be competitive. but right now if you look at georgia, if we're losing georgia by a point, it is absolutely going to be a state that democrats put into battle ground configuration as well as, look, you know, arizona. you know, nevada, these western states that have been traditionally red are now sort of being a lot more competitive. if you are a republican, you absolutely have a smaller map to the white house now than

the british lost, cornell lost about 15 plus, 15oo-1600 people. they get more than that back on the germans. they haven't relinquished anything there. it's the germans, you know, preceding that, that's the germans running for cover. dogger bank. even if you read german commentators and they talk about the victory at jutland, even if they sink or, you know, do more damage to the grand fleet, the grand fleet's big enough to absorb it. so there's nothing that has happened here that would make you think that the british are somehow incapable of waging war at sea. >> in his role as an observer prior to the war, he had no delusions of american capabilities at sea compared to the british. >> that goes back to when he was in paris, he was looking at all of the other news and saying, wow, we are so far behind everybody else. but that's years in advance. to be fair and even this out, before the war began, sims is an anglophile. he actually gets in trouble for voicing his support, kind of like everything we do here, you know, the views expressed in this lect

joined by susan page, bill crystal, and cornell belcher.usan, i mean, it is one of those no, he is on the tirade. there's always a reason for the tirade, and we don't quite yet know but think we do. >> well, we think that the special counsel mueller kept things quiet, didn't think he would do anything in the final weeks before the midterm elections. that's now over. the field is clear for him to do whatever it is he is going to do, and we certainly expect that to happen soon. it sounds like the president expects it to happen soon. >> it was a fascinating, if you read that interview, it is more reminders that the friendlier for the environment for the interview, the more trouble he gets into. he just says stuff. clearly the reporter is asking about chris christie and writes could you tell us what your thinking is on the attorney general position. and he goes right to mueller. whitaker is just somebody that's very respected, look, as far as i am concerned this is an investigation that should have never been brought, should have never been had

cornell belcher, former obama pollster and msnbc political analyst, cornell, welcome to you.vote is clearly headed for a machine recount. what are the expectations and should the president be concerned? >> i expect, i would hope every american would expect, democrat or republican, that you count every vote. to me it doesn't have to be that complicated. the president and everyone else should calm down and make sure every vote is counted, it speaks to the legitimacy of our democracy. it's hilarious that those crying voter fraud and foul are those that have been involved in the infrastructure and process there. the truth is governor scott should have put more resources in broward county and other counties, quite frankly, so they can handle this sort of turnout. what happens is this is a form of voter suppression, when you make it harder for people to vote, people have to stand in longer lines to vote and they're uncertain about the process, it is a form of voter suppression. so i would say, not as a democrat, not as a republican, just as an american, we have to count every vote.

>> cornell, those factory workers, a lot of those are trump voters. . that's part of his base.uch of a vulnerability is this for the president? >> it's a lot of vulnerability, and one you understand he didn't win michigan by a majority, right? he had a bare plurality there. your heart goes out. those workers want to believe, right? i don't begrudge them for wanting to believe that, but he's a con artist, right? those voters have been bamboozled. they've been run amuck, and the truth of the matter is when you look at the policies, when you look at the policies they've enacted and senator brown of ohio talked about this, this tax cut they're giving is going to incentivize shipping manufacturing jobs overseas, so they get in the office selling these working people this bill of goods, and then from a policy standpoint they pass these tax breaks that help these big manufacturers, you know, and these big corporations move jobs overseas. politically, the problem for trump is this. when you look at his job approval and his job approval, if you look at what happened a couple tuesdays ag
