in addition to this, this new question about does david wasserman live here, or is he registered here, unfortunately, now there are more questions in my mind raised to be secured in that he is registered here to vote, that there is no conflict with him having a homeowner exemption, but also living here in san francisco, him and his colleague have raised issues of where are you registered to vote , with many tenants who are represented at hearings at the rent board commissioner. now the question of, where are you registered to vote, where do you have your homeowner exemption, those are key questions for me, and hopefully for potential city attorneys to look a bit more into. thank you. i appreciate your time. >> jordan davis again speaking for myself. the rent board, and i have been following the news around various appointments and one thing i believe about this board is you have to be above reproach and there are just too many questions about wasserman's residency, too many questions about conflict, and he will have a lot of conflicts because veritas is huge. is a as a tenant's rights

that is a democratic nightmare scenario tweeted out by david wasserman of the coke political report who joins me now. david, what is the swing 0matic? it sounds like something that ron popeeil invented? >> it's actually something invented in 2015 it allows the users to adjust the turnout level to see the impacts that would have on the electoral college. what i was trying to show before the 2016 election which is possible that donald trump could win the white house while losing the popular vote. now, that ended up happening by 3 million votes, donald trump fell short to hillary clinton nationally. but still won the electoral college quite comfortably by 306 he could lose by 5 million votes in the popular vote in 2020 and still win. and the reason is his demographic groups where he's uniquely unpopular send to be concentrated in states that are in the electoral college. asian, rich white people trending towards democrats are concentrating on the coast. hispanics who are growing in numbers, they are concentrated, a majority of hispanics live in just three states, california, texas and new

msnbc political analyst michael steele, former rnc chairman and nbc news contributor david wasserman.cook report. david, let me start with you. there's been a lot of polling news recently. mostly i think it's just interesting insofar as it clear drives the president crazy because he watches cable news all the time and he's obsessed with it. but taking away the predictive effects, like, the current polling with the economy growing at the rate it is and unemployment is not great for the president. like, as a snapshot of his current political strength. would you agree? >> yeah, chris. the bad news for president trump is that he is behind in virtually every poll, including his own polls, which is why he fired his pollster. the good news for president trump on the other hand is that polls this early are simply not that predictive. >> yeah. >> four years ago the first trial he said came out showed hillary clinton leading donald trump 59-35. so keep that in mind. it's not like polls have greatly affected trump anyway. the other good news for trump, his chances of getting re-elected, in my op

but the big one and david wasserman and political handicappers have been talking about that this week 3 million this time, might be by 5 million this time and still lose the presidency. they could do better in texas, they could do better in california, they could do better in a couple of states but they could even flip pennsylvania, they could flip michigan and still lose the presidency if trump's able to hold places like wisconsin, arizona, florida and north carolina. and so there's a lot of talk about how do you make sure that doesn't happen? there is a little bit of a electoral vote cushioned for trump. when you talk to democrats, they're convinced trump's going to win. you talk to republicans and they're like look at the polls in the states, look at his favorable numbers. there's no way a lot of republicans think he could win. it's all everyone thinking they knew it would happen in 2016 still haunts them today. >> we often talk about, jim, how a unified party is the winning party at the end of the day. are democrats strategizing with regards to this and basically asking themselves

zerlina maxwell, michael steele, david wasserman, thank you for your time. that is "all in" for this evening. >>> tonight trump's sales pitch for re-election runs through a list of grievances. we heard about the witch hunt, the phony dossier, 18 very angry democrats. no collusion, no obstruction. the russian hoax in general. the wall, crooked hillary, and for good measure the academy awards. plus another cabinet secretary out this time acting defense secretary patrick shanahan because of a personal family issue and it comes as some seem to be banging the drum for a war in the gulf. then there is tomorrow's witness before congress, hope hicks. she appears behind closed doors, a white house lawyer beside her, already making objections about privilege before it begins as "the 11th hour" begins on this tuesday night. good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters in new york. on this day, 880 of the trump administration, with 581 days remaining in his term, donald trump officially kicked off his re-election campaign with a rally in orlando tonight. he sp

zerlina maxwell, michael steele, david wasserman, thank you for your time. that is "all in" for this evening. "the rachel maddow show" starts now. >>> thanks to you for joining us at home. happy tuesday. once upon a time the president's campaign chairman came up with a genius plan to finagle himself a few million dollars. it was the middle of the presidential campaign. he was in charge of the campaign for the republican presidential nominee, kind of in the cat bird seat, and from that position he found a little bank in chicago, a small bank that was oriented specifically toward lending money to veterans. and it turns out that little bank was run by a guy who was a trump supporter. now, the president's campaign chairman was not himself a veteran, which you'd think might be awkward in terms of his interactions with that bank, given the particular focus of that bank on lending to veterans. but if you think something like that was going to trip up this plan, you underestimate the genius of the scheme here. the president's campaign chairman, what he did is he app
