the people we are talking about in south dakota are working south dakota means.hey are folks that can't simply afford health insurance and the problem is they are getting their care today, the wrong place, wrong time, wrong costs, the emergency room. governor to guard talked about acceptance of these dollars, working with the legislature to find common ground, perfect example where we find common ground, not take this washington politician rhetoric and seek to divide us but to solve south dakota's problems. that needs to be our focus. this is a conversation about access to health care coverage so we can have a healthy workforce that fills our needs. that is the focus and those are the things i will focus on, more access to care, and healthier population. >> i'm a big believer in working to solve these problems, i worked in a bipartisan manner in the state legislature, working with republicans and democrats on these reforms since i have been working with south dakota. we can be much more number and give people healthcare coverage that meets their families needs bu

i went to college at south dakota state university. i studied math and science education, got a bachelor's degree, became a high school teacher and a basketball coach. by 1996, i ran for the u.s. house as an independent. that was the race in which john thune won. in 2002, i joined the libertarian party and was their nominee for the senate. in 2014, i ran for south dakota state auditor, also as a libertarian, and now i am the libertarian candidate for governor. so nice to meet you. >> thank you very much. senator sutton, it is your turn. mr. sutton: i never saw myself in politics. i grew up in our family ranch, fell in love with radio, and rode professionally, and had my life planned out. i was going to make it to the national finals rodeo nba champion. october 4, 2007, the horse flipped over on me, shattered two vertebrae, and paralyzed me from the waist down. a stark moment, but the people that invested in me, my family and my wife, really awakened me a service over self mentality. i ran for the legislature, served in the senate the l

the native american vote in north dakota. thousands of native americans in north dakota live on rural reservations where they don't have street addresses. they use p.o. boxes instead. that voter i.d. law was aimed right at them. it made it next to impossible for them to vote, especially in the kinds of numbers they have voted in in the past. native americans generally form a pretty strong vote for democrats in north dakota. their support absolutely made it possible for heidi heitkamp to squeak out a win for her senate seat in 2012 in that state. that's very clearly why republicans wrote that bill, to stop native americans from voting in large numbers, to basically put a ceiling on the number of democratic voters in north dakota and specifically to prevent heidi heitkamp from ever getting reelected. well, in the end, last week heidi heitkamp did lose. in that sense republicans in north dakota got what they wanted from their plan.

for donald trump to claim because he won a senate race in north dakota or indiana or missouri, states he won by 19, 19 and 36%, that shows how weak -- i would be very worried if i were donald trump and the republicans about the 2020 elections if all they can claim is they won in north dakota. we greatly regret the loss of wonderful people, great senators like heitkamp, donnelly and mccaskill but hardly a victory in those three states is any vindication for the route of the republicans. >> with all due respect, sir, is it not true -- i talked to a number of democrats in those states who say this is a warning sign for democrats when it comes to the 2020 presidential election. kavanaugh and the caravan, they say. those messages from republicans, those messages from president trump enabled people, ooin even like claire mccaskill to lose decisively. do democrats not have to come up with a better response when it comes to border security and did you not get outplayed when it came to the kavanaugh nomination? not just the fact that he's on the court but also the politics of it? >> the bottom

trailing by almost ten points there in north dakota. she all just gave a whole bunch of money away to other democrats to try to help them out. but arizona, that race still tied also, 46/46. how critical is president trump to these senate battleground states? >> so, if president trump won the state in 2016, he's going to be an asset for these republican senate candidates. and that polling out of tennessee, the polling out of north dakota that showed republican kevin cramer with blg well in tennessee that is important news for mitch mcconnell. that means if republicans win north dakota and tennessee they pretty much clinch the senate majority. so, if republicans continue to hold those steady leads in those states, that's a good night for mcconnell. >> dana: tell me about early voting. we've seen lots of coverage about how enthusiastic voters are. people are turning out in big numbers this early. but tell us, should we be cautious about reading too much into that? >> yeah, i don't like to get into interpreting the early voting numbers, esp
