he democratic party became the obama party. this has always been true, you over, winsident takes presidency and the party that person.to to greater degree than in the past, that was true of democrats 2008 election of president obama who started his own organizing for america that was supposed to be sort of outside of the d.n.c. structure. now the licans are trump party. there is a republican national money, but it raises ultimately the tone, the message, the policy, everything set by president trump and anybody who walks off the line isthe trump republican party considered to republicanism and i think that is going to case for as e the long as president trump is there. money and outside public frustration with the party and party system in means that we are moving more and more in that direction where voters are ooking for somebody who is outside the party, somebody not a creature of the party. not as true of obama as trump, but true of bernie sanders, who democraticed off the primary upset, despite going up against a legacy of

watched hubert humphrey tonight stand where he has wanted to for so long, at the very top of the democratic partywas, some heap. the divisions in this party run very deep, indeed, and hubert humphrey who wants to be a healer for the party and for the country has very little time to heal the divisions in this party in terms of the november election. it's my judgment that hubert humphrey starts out an underdog. >> nixon could be gleeful about trumping his enemies and it gave him great joy to go to chicago to begin his campaign in the very place where the democratic party had been humiliated by a riot. ♪ stand up and let's strike the band up ♪ >> here comes richard nixon, the uniter, coming through the city of chicago like a roman emperor and being cheered by tens of thousands and harassed by no one. so it looks like this would be the fellow that can unite the country. ♪ >> humphrey's in an impossible situation. he's associated with the chaos of the anti-war movement because of what happened at the convention. he has this albatross of a war tied around his neck. and everywhere he goes, chaos follows

he runs with the endorsement of the vermont democratic party. he ran in endorsement declare him a democrat last week. he raised money for democratic candidates. he received 42% of the vote in the democratic primary process. how could he not have a shot? i am a big believer of voters. given the outcome, 42% of the many members wanted a different selection. there is no doubt secretary clinton paid her dues. theypeccable resume, argued, the most qualified ever. it is a fair position on their part. we also wanted her to win. i was on tv all the time on the networks, advocating for secretary clinton's election. we have elections. people: with hard feelings. that is what -- people, way with hard feelings. that is what -- people come away with hard feelings. that is what democracy is. he is considering another run for the presidency. when the time comes, we will have an answer. right now, he is considering it. host: donald in new york, line for independents. caller: i would like to say i am sorry, i do not have a computer. i cannot get the actual number

so the democratic party is in a lot of trouble now. the democrats need more background. backbone. you think about republicans but they been able to do. republicans on the regular just all the time. republicans generally run a negative aspect, fear, anger, and anxiety. the circuits people out. democrats want to think about policies, it's like herding cats. one thing republicans do that i respect, the have their fight that the ended the day they line up in march. you have to respect that. >> hello. you talk about how the right and republican party are great at organizing. i think this because they don't care about intersection elevate. that's why so hard to mobilize the left. what are your thoughts on really addressing people of color on the fence and mobilize in that area people. asian americans have a lot of apolitical leanings. i have several family members that have voted for trump. so how can we see this coalition work and manifesting? we can't be out organized by these people. i think white supremacist groups are well organized because they feed on fear. what clear counter str

party. labor didn't like him, southern democrats couldn't stand him. there was some serious, serious fault lines in the party, nothing like that today. you do see this debate obviously between the bernie sanders wing of the party and they're not, i don't want to -- there is differences but nothing on the scale of what we saw in '68. the differences were fundamental and i think there was a big wing of the party. i think mccarthy supported anti war activists who viewed the party and johnson in general and you have activists who regularly picketed, it's knowing like '68. as the politics have become in our country, the animosity, not just between the two parties but inside the two parties -- >> the box is called the politics of the division with michael cullen in fairfax, virginia. susan could ahead, please. >> i'm calling with a comment, i want to say hi to kathleen, i'm richard mackey's niece. so good to see you, kathleen, you and your family have been very much on my heart. my husband was a high school senior in maryland in 1968, and last night he was sh

party. labor did not like him and democrats could not stand him. there was some serious of fault line in the parties. you do see the debate of bernie sande sanders, i don't go on the scale of 268. the difference is fundamentals and there is a big wing of the party. i think mccarthy -- who viewed democratic party is illegitimate in general. you had antiactivists that' that's -- last year people always asked me, this is nothing like '68. as divisive as politics have become in our country, it can barely hold a candle and the animosity between the two parties. >> book is called "american maelstrom" from michael cohen and fairfax, virginia is where our next caller. >> caller: i want to say hi to kathleen. so good to see you, you and your family have been very much in my heart. my husband was a high school senior in 1968. last night, he was showing the so long bobby picture of the arts and style of the washington post to my daughter elizabeth last night and telling her a little bit of the history of that time. i wanted to just say hello and tell you that

and the party was heterogeneous, idea logically, as was the democratic party. t in 1968, even though it's three short years, that position was really no longer viable in the national republican party, which is why it said earlier, it was hard to see a path for romney or rockefeller, given their pro civil rights view, and given, frankly, the southern strategy, the idea that, you know, the republican electoral future was going to be through the south. so by 1968, i think we see in, you know, for example, the nixon negotiations with strom thurman, reagan's victory in '66, his ascendence within the party. we see, i think, a party that on the issue of race, even though there were still some voices, pro civil rights voices left, they were really within the minority within the party. and nixon's -- whether or not you want to call them concessions or not, but his stance, for example, against what he would describe as mandatory or forced busing, just as one example, that was really consistent with the party's view that the federal government had overreached in its effort

that's what the democratic party appears to be mostly about right now. es on something more oriented towards borders will come along. but remember, tucker. these candidates are running in a party where 71%, according to one recent poll, want donald trump impeached. so it's kind of understandable that there would be some focus on him. >> tucker: for sure. most democrats are, of course, very anti-drum, that's why they are democrats. but is that a message that moves people to the polls? >> based on the evidence we have, it seems not to be working very well, and the reason i say that is, look at the advantages that democrats enjoy going into this midterm election. first of all, the political gravity and any president's first midterm is always with the other party and the average loss is more than would be enough if they made their average again, the democrats would get control of the house. they had a huge gap in what's called a generic ballot. that's the one where you ask people if they would rather vote for a democrat or republican unnamed in the upcoming e

it possible that somebody with some will use good to seize that moment to get no because the democratic party is not the labor party the base has absolutely no say point it was a surprise to many people in the labor party including those who generally corbin's nomination papers that he actually hears the because we have the way that there was a miracle of a moment it was but it was also a product of a movement within the party. and the mobilization of a base that was able to affect the top. the democratic national committee we know now not surprisingly had the fix in for senator clinton had of course i think by the time she finished she spent over a billion dollars in a campaign she had all the super delegates there was no way i mean i actually spoke with bernie about this i mean there was no as before he announced there was no way the democratic party was ever going to give the nomination to sanders if we are to rest back control of our democracy it's going to mean that we're we it's going to go beyond a particular election cycle so he raised a lot of money he talked about a political revolu

donald trump is so damaging, why focus energy and resources in a bruising, bloody intraparty democratic party well, it's really important for us in 2018 to elect more democrats, but i think it's equally important to elect better democrats. i think what we saw in the last presidential election was we can't just give people something to vote against. we really have to actively give people something to vote for. and this is where in new york state certainly our voters, our constituents are ahead of their leaders. and they know the progressive leadership that has been missing here. and all the things that are being enacted in other parts of the country that aren't being enacted here. we have to really give our democratic base, our young people, our women of color, our working class, we have to start showing up for them. because if we start -- if we don't start showing up for them, they're going to stop showing up for us. and it's candidacies like mine that i think really get our base excited and give them faith again in the democratic party that it's not becoming more and more like the republican

, looking forward and i hope this isn't too far off track but what was the trajectory in the democratic party after 1968 that made them incapable of mounting such a fractured challenge to richard nixon four years later? can you summarize what was going on in the party that they were not able to put together a reasonable challenge to nixon in 1972. thank you. >> thank you. well, i would say, i mean, the problem is the party is hoplessly divided. it was divided not just on the war but the establishment activityist winning. several of the unions refused to endorse him, a lot of democrats that didn't support mack golf mack govern. cgovern. you have civil rights, mcgovern was much more liberal on civil rights issues, and that ended up creating huge divisions within the party. i do think what is worth if humphrey wins, those divisions are not as severe. he was in a better position to navigate both sides of the party more than george mcgovern would have been. >> michael cullen and joining us from west palm beach florida, kathy kennedy townsend. >> mrs. town send, i was curious, in what ways were you

because of politics we get wrapped up into political parties of a right or left. or democratnd republican parties. and we lose the truth. just like we think about the civil war is a war between the north and the south. wars are not started by people. it's inspired by the military. >> thank you for your call 20. >> it's interesting that the caller in 2016 didn't vote republican. trump obviously was a democrat for many years. for to the extent that he had many police. some of it invert the parties. the long-standing support of free trade. trump does spring out of an alternative tradition within the conservative movement. there echoes in george wallace and richard nixon in terms of how they talk about law and order. when you hear wallace talking about letting the police kick their heads in. this idea of this tough talk, to crack down on those who are breaking rules, a lot of people would say that's racially infused. i think we see that with trump. pat buchanan who ran a campaign against the incumbent president bush was anti-free trade, anti- immigration, he believed internationa

the democratic party came close to nominating a guy not a democrat, a democratic socialist is the officialle for bernie sanders. how do you explain that if the party is so moderate? >> there is an argument within the democratic party like the republican party. i think part of it is voters are left and some voters just want an alternative the hillary clinton and bernie sanders was the only one in the room. if you look at what voters have been doing since the trump election in 2016, democratic voters have been moving to the center and it is one of the most underreported things out there. ralph northium won by 12 points in the virginia primary and swept to victory in the governor's race. if you are listening to voters, the quiet voice of voters rather than the loud voices of activists there is a resurgence of moderates in the democratic party. >> if i can interject if that's the case, john, why are the democrats pandering to the more extreme elements of their party? there is a distinct difference between free exchange and voluntary cooperation which is capitalism versus couple pulse re force.

united behind them and we ought to be an adult about that they're not enough out also and the democratic party echoing those words if you were in the house of representatives and your party gains control would you vote to have nancy pelosi come back as speaker. that's a policy is saying laid the best things democrats have she's not a lefty she is not a right he she is a person that operates to elect democrats that's her role she does not get so burdened when all these policy options that she becomes offensive to democrats she literally says less of a lack of folk and then let the folk be the expressions of what we do as a party and as a group of people nancy pelosi would be my candidate and i tell you i think i would be helpful and getting nancy pelosi elected you're mayor of san francisco and rudy giuliani was mayor of new york so i gather you would together with mayors conferences which mayors meet every year what's your thought on his current role as mr trump's personal lawyer he has literally frankly embarrassed those of us who are part of a wonderful operation in this country in the late

, working people like in west virginia, they feel forgotten by today's democratic party why we saw so many former democrats cop out and support donald trump. he has an approval rating of 89% among republicans and his national approval rating is going up as well. the democrats need to find some sort of message that can bring the progressives and moderate together and they are struggling with that. charles: can the republicans be sort of lulled into what happened to democrats the next month or two and be complacent or overconfident? >> no, the trend line is there for the republicans to keep the senate. the democrats are having trouble raising money for the major ad buys in swing states. this is a problem, a meat and potato problem a lot of these swing districts they anticipate winning they won't be able to. charles: house republicans taking it upon themselves to get to the roots of the so-called witch hunt by calling for a second probe of their own. thank you clients? well jd power did just rank them highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms...agai

>> i said the future of the the -- democratic party depends on meeting. think the candidates and the people who control the convention should do something before the public gets the view of the situation downtown that overcomes our efforts here at reconciliation. >> i will say this, we all agree that law and order must prevail, and a great national convention under the democratic process cannot be disrupted by the lawbreakers or any other elements inside or outside the convention. >> this is happening seven miles away, mr. o'brien. >> frank and i have discussed these matters, and we are in agreement that we are going to discuss it further of camera. -- off-camera. >> are you in agreement with mr. o'brien? >> i agree that useful discussions can be discussed off-camera. >> i gather that you just talk to your candidate, senator george mcgovern. what did he tell you? >> he described to me the scene he saw out of the fourth floor window of the hotel, and he said michigan street was running with blood. he said the police were beating up kids in a matter that wa

we are seeing progressives in the democratic party questioning the status quo all over this country. and not accepting the old ground rules. if you've got an incumbent democrat, it used to be the message within the party is "oh, don't challenge the incumbent." - friendly incumbent rule, right. - right, and oh, we've gotta worry about what happens in the fall. that's not being accepted, all over the country. - yeah. - i think progressives and democrats are saying we need a progressive party both morally, we believe in those values, but if we wanna win nationally, we've gotta get back to our core values, we've gotta have a strong populist economic message, but populism in the sense of actually trying to serve everyday people, we've gotta be willing to say things like "we're going to tax the wealthy, so that working people can have a better life." there's a set of ideas that progressives believe in, that are basically non-negotiable at this point. - yeah. - meaning, if our candidates are not evincing those values, if our national party is not evincing those values, progressives are gonna

republican party and the democratic party, democratic party, it is depicted. the democratic party, it was associated with with the irony, which that was a typical image of the irish. and they have references this discussion. and the republican party, depicted as involved with corruption. some very bad scandals. and what puck is saying, look, the democrats, the republicans are horrible and we need a new political party. that will sound familiar, i'm sure. and you have, you know, some, of course, the wonderful image of the farmer, who is looking at uncle sam saying, look at this terrible problem, you should have a third party. and agriculture and farming is dominating in this time period. >> and going on to the next cartoon, this is from 1887 that will show a monster in congress. first of all what were tariffs? >> and basically they are taxes that are added to goods that are imported in the united states. and it will be $20. they have a tariff and now it costs $40. but interestingly at this point in time, the united states had no income tax. the major income sou

>> the democratic party is really a party of women.ee that in the number of candidates who are running in this cycle. i was particularly excited about amy mcgrath in kentucky. i talked to her before she decided to run. i'm glad that she did. and she really brought it home. and i think the same fight that she brings, we're going to have women all across the country, and it's going to be a blue wave, but it's going to have a really pink tinge. >> donna bech., your take? >> first of all, we do have a black woman currently serving as lieutenant governor in the great state of new jersey. but this is really a terrific moment. a breakthrough, because not only did stacey, who's a phenomenal woman, win last night in her democratic primary, but over in next, lupe valdez won her primary in the great state of texas, being the first latina in the democratic party. now, we know there's a republican governor in the state of new mexico, susan martinez, and of course we've had other women of color, south carolina. i want to make sure we get our women p

the democratic party in the u.s. could be in for a rough number of years if the recent polls are anything to go by it's been revealed americans born after nineteen ninety five so named generations ahead of more conservative leanings than older voters at the same age a survey of over fifty thousand people under the age of twenty three shows increasing support for the republican party while a large number of them would also back donald trump's reelection in twenty twenty on like the slightly older millennial age group generations it is more sensitive to conservative policies with the economy education on gun rights taking priority over other policies killam open has been finding out whether young americans values are changing. are young americans just less rebellious and more friendly to tradition and authority or is there a problem on the left side of the spectrum we decided to talk with some younger americans and find out shutting down conservative or right wing speakers on college campuses to identify with that shut

democratic party is failing to win over young voters this according to a new. poll a survey by reuters news agency found that support for the democrats has fallen from fifty five percent two years ago to forty six percent in the under thirty four age group parties came up and went to the streets of new york for us to gauge whether the younger generations values are really shifting our young americans just less rebellious and more friendly to tradition and authority or is there a problem on the left side of the spectrum we decided to talk with some younger americans and find out shutting down conservative or right wing speakers on college campuses to identify with that shutting them down now i don't think we should completely shut them down and why agassi i think everyone should have a voice and be able to speak on campuses you shouldn't close it seems to be to want to be open to anything i mean especially if there's a college setting that's a good as a last place we should be saying no to open ideas and discussions i don't think that's fair because everybody is

the republican party is depicted as being involved in corruption. is theck is saying democrats and republicans are horrible, we need a new political party. that sounds familiar, i'm sure. you have the wonderful image of the farmer looking at uncle sam saying look at this terrible problem, we should have a third-party. >> agriculture and farming was dominant. >> absolutely. >> 1887, showing a tariff monster in congress. are taxes added to goods imported to the united states. englanduy a chair from for $20 come you add a terrible and the chair costs $40. at the time the united states had no income tax. the united states was really good at it. mid-80's, there was a huge surplus in the mid-1880's in the american budget. no income tax, yet america was running a huge surplus because of the tariffs. the surplus was viewed as a problem. puck was against the tariffs. they thought tariffs were tax on the working man. you can see they are making the point that the surplus is a terrible problem caused by the tariffs. >> we now have a $20 trillion debt, roughly. was the u.s., what federal b

speak about the democrat party over the last decade america has been anything but the american people will have a democrat party is that they focus on issues to create a mentality that's that's the ruling dynamic of the democratic party they go out and seek people who feel what they kind of fanned the flames of the mentality convincing them that they have an oppressor and then they say we're here to rescue . protesters in armenia blocking roads in iran the capital has the former soviet republics popular uprising continues we have more on in about ninety seconds to. join me everything on the alec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics school i'm sure. i'll see if. price perceives news and so if you have fake prices you end up with a fake. so here when you manipulation of markets and there if you have interest rates at zero and you can borrow money at zero percent and have an unlimited credit line and you can muscle prices around at will that creates fake prices and then if you have robots report against a crisis on the financial media for instance then the r

he also says that apparently the local democratic party has no room for moderate democrats and says in his view that's why people are leaving the party. the campaign is only going to get more heated. party leaders say they continue to campaign for other candidates and emphasize today's action against him is just the start. live in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. >>> a man is in jail accused of stealing from the gilroy police chief. this is the man. the chief said his truck, gun and badge and a laptop were stolen at a junior college last friday. this is during a graduation ceremony. the chief admits the service weapon was not locked in a case. you will hear from the chief about this case at 6:00. >>> today we're getting clear answers about yesterday's deadly shooting in mill valley. a 71-year-old tenant shot his landlord over a dispute because of a pending eviction. we brought you the story during breaking news coverage at 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 last night. sheriff's deputies say the man living in the apartment complex shot the landlord and the landlord's daughter. the daughter d

isn't it possible that somebody with some good to seize the moment to get no because the democratic party is not the labor party the base has absolutely no say it was a surprise to many people in the labor party including those who signed jeremy corbin's nomination papers that he actually hears the because we have the way that there was a minister of a moment it was but it was also a product of a movement within the party. and the mobilization of a base that was able to affect the top. the democratic national committee we know now not surprisingly had the fix in for senator clinton had of course i think by the time she finished she spent over a billion dollars in a campaign she had all the superdelegates there was no way i mean i actually spoke with bernie about this i mean there was no as before he announced there was no way the democratic party was ever going to give the nomination to sanders if we are to rest back control of our democracy it's going to mean that we're we it's going to go beyond a particular election cycle so he raised a lot of money he talked about a political revoluti

for this upcoming midterm we need an open contact for who is going to lead the democratic party. b: republicans love nancy pelosi. it has been rough for democrats, you had a special election in pennsylvania where democrat connor lamb won and disregarded nancy pelosi and people say that helped him to victory for the democrats. what do you think nancy pelosi should do and what do you want nancy pelosi to do? >> i want her to stay where she is. the queen of san francisco is a gift that keeps on giving to republicans, she is writing the ad force in the midterms but the fact is she's not going anywhere and she will stay where she wants to be as long as she wants to be because that is how it works in caucus leadership elections. she is the personification the democratic party has nothing new to offer to the american people. all she has is an old way of doing things, old tired message out of touch with the average americans. her promise on crumbs for the average american, what they are getting back from the tax-cut encapsulates her worldview. i pointed out to people as the democrat party
