democratic primary. he was chosen at party level. but he can't run an ad shooting an ar-15 and win a democratic primary. >> why not? jason kendall won -- >> that's a statewide race. in a world where resistance is dominating -- i'm saying this situation set up for lamb but it would have been different -- >> first of all, he's a military hero. >> so your advice to democratic candidates is to shoot guns in democratic primaries? >> if you're a military hero and you know how to handle a gun. the problem with this is that republicans are going to find every single excuse. i mean, you sat here earlier today and said saccone was a bad candidate. compared to what? what is he a bad candidate -- what did he not do right? >> three reasons. >> it's not a death knell to be boring. >> time out. time out. >> he did not raise money. you want to know why that's a red herring? because republicans, not just his campaign but special interest groups, they outspent conor lamb. so however much money he raised, the republican party spent more money in this ra

have a more traditional wing in the party, and more progressive party, and that exists, but the democratic party is a huge tent party, a people talk about it. our party runs from the folks far on the left to the people who are right of center and everything in between, and the amazing thing is that we manage to make it work all of us together. >> eric baughman is a registered nurse and spent 17 years as chairman of the l.a. democratic party, and ray is calling in from napa, california, from the upper echelons of california. >> caller: hey, how are you guys? i wanted the american people to know that the last four callers don't are represent the majority of california, and we are happy out here, and the state is booming. and the reason that the infrastructure is run down is because 16 years back-to-back, cut, cut, cut and did nothing to repair it. but my real question is where are we right now on sb-562. the democrats have shelved that bill, and we need the health r care for all if we want it to be number one and we need the rest of the country to understand how to have it run. >> is that the heal

support for women who do carry their children to term. >> tucker: that was the position of the democratic partyl about yesterday. even though abortion should remain legal, it was undesirable, it was something to be avoided if possible. that's all most voters feel. democrats no longer say that. the party's base is for abortion. they want women to -- planned parenthood in colorado demanded a new disney princess who has had an abortion to be a role model for girls. this is outside the mainstream. are they the topics, are they the issues that democrats are going to run on during the midterm elections question are joining us tonight is someone who has spent a long time in the democratic party, jennifer pulmonary. she spent years of the heart of it. she's got a brand-new book out and she's doing very well on amazon, it's called dear madam president. thanks for coming on. >> i'm happy to be here. a lot has been written about the changes in their party. the democratic party has changed as much if not more and it's gotten very little attention. do you acknowledge that president obama going out and sayin

the national democratic party. they are identifying with the democratic party. what you see emerge in southern politics in the 1960's and 1970's, one of the ways people talk about the southern strategy, one of the famous quotes -- it is not clear if it happened but it is a great story. it is too good to check. it is a story about lyndon johnson. he signed the 1964 civil rights act, he goes to his aide and says, i believe we signed away the south to the republican party for a generation. because democrats embrace civil rights, it was going to open up the floodgates of conservative white southerners for the republican party. that is how we often tell the story about the growth of the republican party. it happened because the democrats supported civil rights in 1964 and the republican party took off. it is not true. it is not true. republican still had a very hard time winning elections, even in the aftermath, in the late 60's and 1970's. it did not start to shift until the 1980's. the reason is, you had a republican party in the south that was seen as being elite

is there a place for someone like this in the democratic party, someone who has a choice consistently since are many democrats who play an important role in the democratic party who have a different view on that. i want joe manchin to get reelected, and we're working hard to make sure that happens. i think the democratic party has that place. at the same time, i'm on her platform. is platform clearly is -- simply not just a matter of roe v. wade. it's also a matter of economic empowerment. i very much believe in that platform. at the same time, i also want to make sure joe manchin gets reelected. >> when you have a primary like that, we've learned of the d&c that when you are in perception time to put the thumb on the scale in the primary, that can undermine public confidence. that's why we've been neutral. >> every question jammed ask was about financials you have. i wonder, some of that reflects continuing wounds from the primaries, presidential much of the bernie sanders forces of the d&c, to having the thumb on the scale? guest: when you look at the facts, we had a ton of work to

we see that polarization to this day in the democratic party and republican party. i do not accept the people in the democratic party leaders in rank-and-file are un-american. i do not see that at all. they just have a different view of the america they want to support. host: to follow up on that state of the democratic party in 1968, how strongly was johnson supporting humphrey? was he focused on politics or vietnam? barbara: the problem for johnson was even if he had supported him to the hilt, he could not campaign for him because it was too dangerous. the secret service did not want him to go on college campuses, which was another reason he thought, i cannot run myself, so he wasn't able to go on the stump and do much campaigning for him. i think may be as much as eisenhower did not go full for nixon in 1960. he also had tension with humphrey over the war. host: ronald reagan, if he had won in 1968, a what is question -- what if question? pat: i think he would have gone for vietnam. one thing johnson did for humphrey in the last week, i think on october 31, clear

certainly in the democratic party or the republican party.eople, leaders are unpatriotic or un-american. they just have a different view of the america that they want to lead or that they support. how: in a follow-up, strongly was president johnson supporting hubert humphrey? was he focused on politics or was his focus vietnam? problem for johnson was that even if he had was tood him to the health, hmt dangerous. the secret service did not want him to go on college campuses. which was another reason why he thought he couldn't run. he was not able to go out on the stump. -- maybe as much as eisenhower did not go out for nixon in 1960. johnson was supportive, but he also had that tension with humphrey. ronald reagan, 1968, had he won -- guest: i think he would have ended the bombing. in thatg johnson did do last week, i think it was on october 31, declared a bombing halt in vietnam. , at the beginning of october it was nick's and 43, humphrey 28, wallace 21. by the time it ended it was 43 all. much of the wallace in the north moved to humphrey.

we see that polarization to this day in the democratic party and republican party. i do not accept the people in the democratic party leaders in rank-and-file are un-american. i do not see that at all. they just have a different view of the america they want to support. host: to follow up on that state of the democratic party in 1968, how strongly was johnson supporting humphrey? was he focused on politics or vietnam? barbara: the problem for johnson was even if he had supported him to the hilt, he could not campaign for him because it was too dangerous. the secret service did not want him to go on college campuses, which was another reason he thought, i cannot run myself, so he wasn't able to go on the stump and do much campaigning for him. i think maybe as much as eisenhower did not go full for nixon in 1960. johnson was supportive, but he also had tension with humphrey and humphrey had it with him over the war. host: ronald reagan, if he had won in 1968, a what if question? pat: i think he would have gone for vietnam. i think he would of ending the bombing -- one

he ripped the south the democratic party apart. humphrey and johnsony the center of the party. bobby kennedy had moved dramatically to the left and with gene mccarthy and george mcgovern, that wing of the party. and all three would be represented in chicago. >> very quickly wasn't governor spiro age new a rockefeller supporter and stunned. >> age new he brought in reporters and said he was for rockefeller. he has the governors -- the citizens for rockefeller headed it up announced it for three woks. and he waits and calls in the reporters when rock feller is going to announce and he is going to have a major roll. when rockefeller never called him and went out and saided i'm not running agnew was left with egg all over his face. and as someone -- we caught him on the first hop. nixon was right on the phone come on up, governor and talk to us. and he came up. you know, you will get to it i'm sure. but agnew was regarded ---er ran against mahoneyny in '66. he was a democrat opposed open housing. and age new supported it. he was seen as a liberal governor except for the riots where

involved in my state wanted to have their voice heard will contribute actually to making the social democratic party a strong party needs to be thank you to everyone. just. and if you're just there watching us you have been watching. rather first of all he is the head of the internal election commission has confirmed that the social democrat party members have indeed voted in favor of entering another coalition government with the chancellor merkel's conservatives this was a huge moment the final hurdle really that we've been waiting for for germany to get its next government to both of you so we have our political correspondent and young and journalist your grandson with us here in studio you've been watching this we heard the acting head of the party say this really was hard work he was proud of the party and he said this is the strength that we need to get our country now moving in the right direction we are waiting i think me our. political editor michelle i don't know if you can hear us michelle i know that you have been listening in there but if you can give us an idea of what the mood is like

seems i'm picking unduly on the opposition, note, that i'm picking on the leadership of the democratic party. because i'm sure that there are millions of fine patriotic members of that party who are disturbed with what has taken place in the nation's capitol as we move from the 1960 in the new frontier to the great society. they know that the great society is not the wave of the future. it's the end of an era. a dismal rehash of the methods and language and the philosophy of the past. >> from october 1967, vintage ronald reagan. >> i'm honored to work for them many years later, that was the candidate i was afraid of. it wasn't rockefeller but the possibility that ronald reagan will get into the race and given his personality and conservative views and the like kt that he can stam paid the delegates and pull the nomination away from richard nixon. i never believed that rockefeller could get it after 1964. republicans would have walked out if rockefeller was nominated. >> explain the reagan candidate dit si. was he a serious contender for the white house? >> sure. what is fascinating about him

think if more politicians did that, more people would trust their politicians. >> who in the democratic party do you see as the next leader? who is what you're describing? >> i think there are people that can be the leader. the question is do the democrats want them to be that leader? that the democratic enthusiasm, much as after barack obama, the republican enthusiasm passed over to the that's right, and i think that pushed the republicans in a direction that took them out of, you know, contact with the center that was willing to give them a chance. the democratic enthusiasm is on the progressive left, and i think they run the same risk of doing that. i think somebody like a mark warner, who is a little dry but is the sort of person who has that centrist approach who understands the needs and respects the needs of real people could be that sort of person. i think a tim kaine, the virginia tim kaine, rather than the vice presidential tim kaine would have been a similar person. both of them are from virginia. there is a reason for that. virginia kind of combines both aspects of the democratic

one of the clearest outcomes after five years in power the center left democratic party have taken a hit but they are still the second biggest party in the absence of any other solution they might stay on in government until another voting system and elections are organized you had the referendum. to change an institution and seize them and these are the way and so now we will see for example water. pipes that want i want to do on these things because in departure they were against but now we we are there we now as we were outnumbered. meanwhile silvio berlusconi who had looked like being a kingmaker in an extraordinary political comeback seems a diminished figure it's clear that many italians have sent a message that they're not happy with the state of politics here what's not clear is who's going to be in government in the near future and of course it's really has a history of governments that don't last very long the next one may be no difference nadine barber al-jazeera wrote. well materiels he has resigned as leader of italy's democratic party following sunday's poor showing the

italy's former prime minister matteo renzi has stepped down as leader of the country's centrist democratic party now that's after voters deserted the party in droves in sunday's election instead they turned into anti immigrant and euro skeptic populists amid a wave of concern about the state of italy's economy though the poll delivered a hung parliament renzi was left with little alternative. not a press conference he was looking forward to it's hardly an x. premium a tale of n.c. faces the inevitable resigning as leader of italy's democratic party following an embarrassing show in sunday's election. i don't see when said he will lash it's over it is that i must leave the helm of the democratic party off to these results but it is according to our statute or else the d.p. president material order to convene a congress for a new leader chosen with the primaries. congress running. for the anti establishment five star movement a reason to celebrate the web based potty break just at its best election results yet taking more than thirty percent of the vote. with other coalitions and parties and able

democrat. you are neutral in that race. is there a place for someone like dan lipinski in the emocratic party? someone who has not supported choice consistently? mr. perez: there are a lot of democrats who have a different view on that. i want joe manchin to get reelected and we are awake -- making -- working hard to make sure that happens. i think the democratic party has that place. at the same time, i'm on her best product that platform. our platform clearly said a woman's right to choose is not sadly matter of roe v. wade. it's also a matter of women's economic empowerment. believe in that platform. at the same time, i also want to make sure joe manchin gets reelected. james: but not dan lipinski question mark -- dan lipinski? mr. perez: when you have a primary like that, we've learned of the d&c that when you are in perception time to put the thumb on the scale in the primary, that can undermine public confidence. that's why we've been neutral. james: let's talk about that. susan: every question james asked was about financial difficulties you had. the rnc out received by two to one. does

five months after elections here the wait for a new government could finally be over the social democratic party is about to reveal the results of the key ballot s.p.d. leaders asked the entire party membership whether or not they should enter a new grand coalition with chancellor angela merkel's conservative almost half a million a party members were eligible to vote completed ballots from across germany arrived at s.p.d. head foreigners in berlin and officials have been counting through the night the national party treasurer is due to read out the results in the coming minutes and will be going live to that announcement. while this s.p.d. membership ballot as part of the party's old guard who want stability against its strong youth wing who are calling for a change and renewal instead of yet another alliance with anglo-american more on the ins and outs of the s.p.d. in a moment but this is not just about the social democrats all of germany's holding its breath this morning perhaps even all of the european union waiting to see whether almost half a year after elections europe's largest economy

mission with the right leaning lega we also have on the central left the democratic party as well as the anti establishment five star movement and a handful of other parties that are also partaking in this election now this is a system that's completely new as italy goes to the polls using an election law that has previously been on tested here not only does it encourage parties to form coalitions before the election takes place but it also makes it highly unlikely for anybody to come out with a majority and now this is an election that even italians from themselves have described as confusing. it was pretty complicated it was a bit unclear and there will be consequences. while you are trying to gain the trust a very tense creating a mess like this amounts to a real sham. and in terms of the issues really one of the bigger ones here in italy has been immigration which has left nobody indifferent with all sorts of opinions flying around about this topic we do know that some of those parties have even promised to expel as many as six hundred thousand migrants another huge topic here is

i think the democrat party is going to be pulled to the left. the raefl dangdanger in the com election, the left nominates a candidate the way they did in 1972 when they nominated mcgovern and pulled the party so far to the left that nixon was a centrist, progressive republican. but the hardline gave him 49 states. republicans aren't going to win 49 states ever again. but i think the democratic party is never going to be conservative. >> we see in the midterms, someone like conor lamb may be as conservative the democrats will go. but it was an interesting choice and a successful one. i would say to the caller from kentucky, who is from the hometown of one of my political mentors was wendell ford, who became the majority whip in the senate and was a conservative democrat from kentucky. now there are no such things. kentucky is a republican state and it has republicans not only throughout the senate delegation, but throughout the house delegation itself. >> in '66, it was one republican senator in the entire confederacy john tower, he had gotten th

in martin shultz the former head of the europe part of european parliament who then became the democrat party leader and and top cans in those past elections announced that he would intend to become foreign minister himself if there was another so-called grand coalition which will now see now upon hearing this guy with spoke of broken promises and he showed himself rather political injured and quoted his daughter saying to him dad don't be sad will spend more time together now and it's better than spending time with that man with the hair and the face now this quote was seen really as something does that disqualified him for holding any high office no matter the fact that martin source in the end was forced to basically withdraw his intention of becoming foreign minister himself there was although this campaign launched by the goblet in recent weeks accompli described in any other way to get back into favor with his comrades at the social democrat party but also at a speech at the new security conference that through quite a bit of attention mapping out his vision for a more united europe onc

leader and basically did a bit of value the heads together that's when the social democrat party leadership came around to trying it once more despite the fact that many in the party grassroots feel that they came out of this pos gone cold as a battered and bruised. house which is linked to the german parliament of one of the buildings that thank you very much for bringing us up to date with the latest developments there let me return now to christopher springing up political correspondent chris i mean i heard it would be you haven't heard from a german politicians oblige joyeux you had a chance to make the talk about the joy of shaping a future that was echoed by her conservative hopeful from the c.s.u. is i think they're trying to counterbalance the fact that this is very much a marriage of convenience. one of the other things that. said is you know we negotiated very hard but in the spirit of mutual respect so that was a normal day i think to the fact that they were the. tense negotiations they went on as they have into the early hours of the morning and both these parties are

but if you want to make a name for yourself in the democratic party it helps to be willing to go to warh the president. if you want to say become the top democrat and jerry nadler did last year. and here is the headline. congressman boasted of impeachment takes number two spot at house judiciary. we'll speak with congressman nadler too. he'll join me on set in just a moment. but since it all comes back to republican president trump, let's start off with the republican joining me now is retiring pennsylvania congressman charlie dent. congressman, always good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> is the gop only -- it does look like it will only get trumpier and now that you are leaving and ross littinen and costello and flake is leaving, do you need more of those people leaving the republican party or less? >> we need fewer of the people leaving the republican party. as i mentioned before, i think one of the real challenges for all of us is the party have been defined to the extent that loyalty to the president is the litmus test. before donald trump we had these ideological mistests an

is there a place for someone like dan lipinski in the democratic party, someone who hasn't supported choice pretty consistently? tom: there are many democrats who are -- play a very important role in the democratic party who have a different view on that. i want joe manchin to get re-elected, for instance. we're working hard to make sure that happens. i think the democratic party has that place. again, i am proud of our platform and our platform very clearly says, a woman's right to choose is not a matter of row v. wade. it's about women's economic empowerment. i very much believe in that platform. at the same time, i also want to make sure joe manchin gets re-elected. james: but not dan lipinski not necessarily? tom: when you have a spirited -- when you have a spirited primary like that, one thing we learned at the d.n.c., when you in fact are in perception trying to put the thumb on the scale in a spirited primary, that can undermine public confidence. that's why we've been neutral. james: let's talk about that. susan: early question that james asked was about some of the financial

by far of the democratic party's if. even even worse than the horrible. the last day. all right very interesting to hear your thoughts. thank you very much for being with us here on arch international a political commentator helping us decipher the elections in italy. all right people in the embattled syrian district of eastern good are still struggling to leave but they are taking fire from militants we'll bring you that's why much more after a short break watching the weekly on our change. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and. somehow want to be. considered to be close this is what the full story of the more people get. interested always in milwaukee how this. city. i welcome back you're watching the weekly here on our team international now russia's military says only two children have managed to escape in the besieged syrian district of eastern good of five days after russia set up a humanitarian corridor to help civilians relief. here are images of the moment syrian soldiers

i am just looking at the democratic party now. —— the looking at the democratic party now. -- the x8 x8 poll. it is around 23%, not a huge score. i would also put in question the leadership of the current secretary. altogether... matteo renzi, the former prime minister. the coalition together, they will have to start compromising and accepting conditions proposed by others. do we have any idea what the main, orthe others. do we have any idea what the main, or the most likely, possibilities for a coalition combination might be? at the moment you could just take your pick. exactly. it is like that you can ta ke exactly. it is like that you can take any party. trying to find if you can reach a majority. actually, i think it is too soon to go like that. in the previous days there have been talks about negotiation between the democratic party and the forza italia. it appears to be on the model of the broad coalition, like in germany, for example. then we start to think about the five star movement with the northern league. that would be the populist apocalypse that some people were scared

so, monica, what does this say to the democrat party though if this is the type of democrat who can win in a district where trump won, what does that say to the pelosi, schumer wing of the party? they are moving left and conor lamb seemed to move to the right. >> that's exactly right, laura. the current democratic party is barack obama's democratic party. it's no longer bill clinton's democratic party, a party pragmatists and centrist. it is a far left radical party. conor lamb broke the mold from that because he was running in a district that donald trump won by 20 points. very conservative district. so this is a young marine veteran who as the governor said had a series of very conservative positions on guns and other issues that he embraced in order to try to win this race. the lesson going forward then for the democratic party is if you want to try to get back to an appeal to the working class voters, that helps put donald trump over the top, particularly, laura, in those ten key swing states like pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, then you better change your tune and get back

pitches to voters former prime minister motto renzi is pushing his track record he says his democratic party took italy out of economic crisis and helped desperate migrants. we are proud of having saved hundreds of thousands of human lives and not to have played on the fears of others but his party is trailing behind those who have put fear of migrants at the heart of the campaign the extreme far right fall is a new way of all marched in rome raising their hands in nazi style salutes and demanding an end to immigration and other far right party leader formally the northern league has increased its support across the country. they're in a coalition with the party of former prime minister silvio berlusconi the eighty one year old is barred from office but he may end up playing kingmaker. in the populist five star movement could gain the most votes though not enough to govern alone now being on it i just read one poll and i can say that we are just one step away from victory. one step or a few days the results of this most unpredictable election may not be known until early next week. let's now

and everywhere i go, i see moral leadership at work in the democratic party. everywhere i go, i see people fed up with the modern republican party. let us make one thing clear. the party of lincoln is officially dead. it's been replaced by the party of trump. the rule of law is in jeopardy. because the rule of trump is what is happening all too frequently here in washington. i see it all over the country. people fed up. with the party of lincoln. or the former republican party. was out in oklahoma. i met those folks who won those elections. they're inspirational. i was speaking to schoolchildren going to school four days a week. as your former labor secretary who talked a lot about the future of work, we never once had a future of work summit where someone suggested that the future of work in the 21st century is to send your kids to school four days a week. that's just morally bankrupt. and do you know why they're doing it? oklahoma and in kansas and missouri? and actually in a few other places? because they've cut their budgets to the bone. through the bone.

promising leader former prime minister matteo renzi has resigned as head of the center left democratic party after a bruising defeat in the polls frenzy made the announcement just moments ago his party won less than nineteen percent of the vote that is an historic low hundreds put that result down to frustration with a lagging economy and rising anti immigrant sentiment more than fifty percent of voters cast their ballots for far right are populist parties a right wing alliance made up of the anti immigrant league party and former prime minister silvio berlusconi's tahlia got the lion's share. has been covering the story for us from rome we asked him a short while ago what's the next step for italy and the center left democratic party well at least the democratic leader said that he will not withdraw immediately so we can expect him to remain in the position as the leader of the. left party until the congress would vote somebody new and and so it's interesting when he says that he now ruled out any coalition with a populist party in italy and basically thereby rules out a coalition which exp

american liberalism and the democratic party blend together more closely. he conservative movement has been distinctive and apart from the republican party for 40 years. the republican party nominee was gerald ford in the conservative was reagan. but sometimes the conservative even broke with ronald reagan. think it's important to understand that conservatism is timeless if you believe in individual rights, freedom, dignity, and privacy. it is derived from the enlightenment. but if you want to lower the amount of vitriol in the amount of yelling and screaming in hatred and nastiness out there is to get people back power and take it away from the elites of corporate america. [applause] >> i would recommend to bring back civility and respect her dark democracy that we establish better listening and encourage listening. by that will fully acknowledge that right now is not safe for everyone to listen to their opponents. for example the very obvious existence of racism in this country and because of that it's not safe for some people to listen to those who think

so people want bipartisanship, the democratic party wants socialism. you think this is the way for democrats to sure up the base and inspire people, is to move into a direction that's just as far as of our current situation and current policy as they can get? >> look, our party is energized, this is why we have been winning elections back to back, new jersey, virginia and alabama and great thanks to political operatives like sergio gutiÉrrez who understand data analytics and we will win and take back congress. we have a president with very low approval ratings and who continues to live in a white house scandal by scandal. we will reenergize voting base and make sure people come and vote come november. rob: kelly, over to you, when you have a party in party, the other party has advantage when you go to midterms or next election, that's the way the balance works and the swings, the republicans have uphill battle, wouldn't you say? >> we have to be energized. i would argue about josÉ, he talks about approval numbers. tied with president obama, pretty soon

democrats have voted on whether or not to enter a new grand coalition with chancellor angela merkel's conservatives the last batch of completes of ballots have now arrived at the s.p.d. headquarters almost half a million party members were eligible to vote and the results will be announced on sunday. the truck carrying the ballots arrived at the social democrats berlin headquarters with a police escort but no fanfare. party bigwigs made a point of staying away gathering instead of a nearby hotel to discuss how to rejuvenate the party they want to show that regardless of how the rank and file have voted they recognize the need to strengthen the party's message. of all standards we made a conscious decision to start this meeting before the votes were counted and could see if it also could see this just so and so for show that we're taking a long hard look at whether our answers are also good enough for the future. party leaders say they want the rank and file like here a nuremberg to be part of this process that's really going to go up on that you cannot confidence because i went to one of the regional conferences and i really got the feeling from our leaders the thing understand that mistakes were made and i

standing here in the headquarters of the grand social democrat party with all jimmy's oldest party with this grand history that is in a deep crisis the question is will it try and work on its nervous breakdown that it's currently having not just amongst the leadership in a coalition with angela merkel seen as the cause of those many of those problems or will it take a conscious decision to take the plunge into opposition which could potentially lead to fresh elections here i mean there are many options on the table if there is no vote thanks michel as we said s.p.d. leaders are optimistic that it's going to be a yes vote let's take a closer look now at what they were saying as the vote counting got underway yesterday. this high performance machine makes quick work of opening envelopes a good thing with almost four hundred sixty thousand party members deciding whether the social democrats should join the government the first two votes go in the blue box for yes so that's a good start for the s.p.d. leadership. they say the vote is democracy in action but behind the scenes many fear that

also think we have to consider with democratic candidates that conor lamb was chosen by the party as nominee. democrats are facing good thing for them, surge of candidate as and interests but will have primaries, battling each other out. ideology plays roll in that. and republicans have blaming the race on rick saccone. came as ally of the president. endeared himself to the president. wasn't as if he ran away, he leaned in. talking to republicans a little bit about the trump factor, whether he has transferable quality for candidates, it's case by case basis. >> interesting point that caitlin raises. other primaries this year, one of the things republicans are hoping for. when party doesn't anoint the candidate at convention, primary voters and eight candidates, democrats be pragmatic? everybody trying to be most anti-trump? >> lot of the bernie versus hillary argument is because democrats want to win. do you want to be right or win? democrats realize that now is the time to win. i don't think see the abusive, terrible splits we've seen. other thing, this is key. i worked in this area

he mentioned something about the democratic party of his grandparents. as very telling because it reminded me a lot of my maternal grandmother, irish catholic democrat who worshiped fdr and jfk. the party of her day has largely disappeared today. now, conor lamb seems to want to resurrect that very smartly so. i think he's the kind of candidate that she could vote for. somebody who's moderate. but here's the problem the democrats are going to face. they don't have very many conor lambs and they have a whole lot of nancy pelosis and elizabeth warrens. they have a lot of old tired hard left social justice warrior types. so i think it's going to be hard to replicate the success that they see in pennsylvania 18 in other races. >> he did say i'm a western pennsylvania dnl, and he says i'm also, you know, unions built western pennsylvania. point taken. listen, gentlemen, thank you very much. i want you to stick around for me. when he with come back much more on the special congressional race in pennsylvania. democrat conor lamb declaring victory but until every

the timid reforms introduced by the outgoing government led by the democratic party may have led to some improvement in italy as microcosmic data but these have not translated into the. improvements in the conditions of already are entirely and. basically that compounded by a long standing problem such as high unemployment rate massive youth unemployment rates basically led many voter to turn to the. parties like the five star movement out of desperation and they may have tried. harder parties in the past not else has worked in some parts of the country especially there felt that this was a last resort. i mean it's the house being a call member of the european union signed the treaty but way back in one hundred fifty seven. how progressive do you think a shift away from this block is. italian politicians have traditionally had a tendency towards hyperbolic statements and that has applied to better school in the past for shore salvini in the leg and the various leading figures of the five star movement as we got closer to the polls many of them have moderated their tone and i expect that

actually from democratic party they said that we should. start talking to pressure for thirty three years i think it's a person maybe sorry but maybe since i'm going to change what i tried to be optimistic what i want to do we were i'm sure the hill should be listening to that message that is not compressible politics most to say university things that was so much mostly opposed about look is well it's like show it so let's enjoy the best we can thank you very much right now send us some not so happy there tonight wish i had asked the question eight go to an opposition candidate she said she was looking to shake things up and use the thought that a fight for her was a vote against everyone else well if you're trying to our correspondent is that her election based on taking the pulse. and it was the reaction be where you want with the exit polls preliminary results people are quite disappointed. you. guys whole again well obviously this isn't the worst result there are candidates who are now according to preliminary data and according to exc

this has become the position of the standard of the left and it shows how radicalized the democratic party has become. >> tucker: is that their reason for eliminating all border security? >> of course not. >> tucker: and democrats won't run on this, will they? >> some of them might. generally no. that's the reason why the republicans are the stupid party and the democrats are the dumb party. it's not like they would exaggerate or use hyperbole. they just need to let the progressives say what they actually think. >> tucker: i agree. i'm talking an affirmative position in favor of our enemies. how is this different? i don't think it is. >> they don't believe in borders or immigration reform. >> tucker: i'm glad they're saying it. it's worth it to be honest. >> me too. >> tucker: secretary of state rex tillerson has become the latest departure from the trump administration. what does it mean going forward? does it have mean something brit hume is next. what is the power of pacific? it's life insurance and retirement solutions to help you reach your goals. it's having the confidence to create

party, nancy pelosi. some democrats came out this week, really so angry with hillary clinton. a lot of them privately rolling their eyes. many of them publicly saying she shouldn't say that. she basically is again insulting half of the country, at least half of the country. let me tell you something, lady, that i or other women like me have to ask our husbands how to vote, really a joke, particularly i won't say her name, appeal to you directly, the country knows who you are first and foremost because of who you married. stop pretending you're a feminist, quality for women and stop checking with our husbands and significant others before we vote. this is very representative how angry and bitter and ungracious many have become in this country, frankly, and but you know what? keep rolling the tape. so many democrats want her to stop. so many republicans want her to continue. by the way it is reminiscent of september 9th, which i always told mr. trump, candidate was one of the worst days for hillary clinton because it was

we heard mateo thing it was obvious-- saying it was he would leave the democratic party leadership. achre for italy. >> yes, a massive headache today. the president needs to pick the next time minister -- prime minister. has the leader of the five star party movement as one choice, who he never thought would be in this position. matteo was the youngest prime minister in italy's history. he has resigned. party got under 20% of the votes. under their rules, he has to leave and pick a new party leader. they are out of government. we will see someone from one of establishment parties possibly come to power. david: does the president have any choice to turn the 5 star over? they got more votes. where else could he go? annmarie: he can look to salvini, which would be a headache for him. the 5 star movement is out in the lead. the votes are still being counted. could create a center-right coalition. that is likely where matarella would have to look in order to restore power. if no deals are able to happen, it will be a hung parliament. we could see elections again. business community are sa
