this has been 20 years since we james thompson. and this is not safe at all. all the experts say this could go either way. host: remind us how we got here? pompeo wasuse mike appointed as chief of the central intelligence agency. and that opened the seat. and we have been having a special election ever since. if heated up in the last week. republicans started to get nervous about the seat. so they pumped quite a bit of money into the ron estes campaign. yesterday we had ted cruz, who is a very republican popular there here in kansas and thompson people have been fighting back. they got a lot of money and from small donors and democrat for donors around the country. host: a tweet about three minutes ago from president trump's twitter -- "ron estes is running today for congress in kansas. i need his help on health care and tax cut reform." what should we read from the president tweeting about this? that is the fourth congressional district. is is about the bigger picture here about national politics, trump, democrats, congress? guest: it really started out -- yo

keep the house seat in kansas with the state treasurer at ron estes defeating democrat james thompson last night. the seat was vacated by [boos] cia director mike pompeo. william la jeunesse is fly from wichita, kansas, . >> there is a lot of spin here, so let me give you the fact that both arguments, ron estes is a former farmer, current state treasurer, he won this congressional seat and a very red district. where republicans outnumber democrats by more than 50%, and democrats have not won here and i was 25 years. they voters know him and like him, so he won by seven points and eight district that trump won by 27 and his predecessor won by 31, so is that margin of victory a sign of weakness that republicans nationally are in trouble, ron estes says no. >> it was a chance for the democrats. they were motivated. there was a lot of angst against the president. they were going to fight back, but we really sold the pundits

the kansas state treasurer did indeed beat james thompson to fill the seat of mike pompeo, but it was not a great win and it didn't happen easily, and the dems didn't spend heavily or predict victory. back in november, trump won that district by nearly 27 points. pompeo won his re-election bid by more than 30 points. it should have been an extremely safe republican seat. so safe that according to the democratic candidate, thompson, the national party stayed away because they had concluded early on he couldn't win. in fact, as "the new york times" points out, only on monday when it became clear the race was being seriously contested did house democrats announce they were spending money on a late wave of get out of the vote calls whereas national republicans spent about $150,000 on the race. republican estes ended up winning oughly 8,000 votes. about seven percentage points. 20 points less than trump's victory just five months ago. another republican seat is up for grabs next week. the seat formerly belonging to

veteran and it say -- an ad that thompson says it's outright false. >> james thompson supports late term abortions even your tax dollars to pay for abortions. it gets worse, he supports abortion even if the parents don't like the gender of their baby. james thompson, too extreme for kansas. >> that's just part of the national gop effort to boost republican president, kansas state treasure. paul ryan's fund-raising on his behalf, vice president mike pence, chance this afternoon in wichita senator ted cruz made a campaign appearance and now even president trump, himself, has recorded a robo call said he needs estes to help him get the job done. that's a lot of effort for a race that's suppose to be easy win. and kansas is not the only red state where republicans are sweating. in georgia, staffer has raised a staggering $8.3 million over the past three months in his race for the sixth district seat, formerly held by tom price. in 2012 mitt romney won the district by 24%. but president trump only won there by a narrow 1.5% margin last year. it's putting him solidly atop the 18 person fi

that's james thompson. more extreme than your typical d.c.iberal. >> bold. >> yeah. >> it's so telling that both of those ads are about the democratic candidate. democrat going positive. republican going negative. >> you compare that to the ads that are running in the georgia race we're talking about. democrat is being attacked there not as this arch liberal. more on character issues because that is more of a swing district. actually it was a one-point race during the presidential race that georgia district was versus this very conservative kansas district. you see the change in strategy there. we'll see how much it works. if you go and you want to be too liberal, you're going to probably encourage some of those liberals to come out and vote. >> the georgia race is the bigger one. four house members joined the trump cabinet. four of these special elections we'll have in the coming weeks. also one in california a democratic congressman became california's attorney general. that's coming up. you're dead right, these things get often overplayed

james thompson has been ignored by democrats until the last few days. there was a clip a couple of weeks ago where he was asking for $20,000 from the local party for mailers and couldn't get that. now everyone is focussed on what's going to happen. >> how effective is it for ted cruise to give a version? >> this is a district that he did well in the primary and it helps draw attention. it could help. the combination of the robocalls. if republicans can get up to normal turn out, they will be okay. if there is app athy combined with enthusiasm, that's a problem. >> do they 23450ed a win in kansas and georgia and maybe a close call in kansas? what do the democrats need to call it a win? >> that's a great question. if democrats win in kansas today, there will be panic on the republican side like we haven't seen before. it will be panic if they lose georgia. the results, say democrats win both. it doesn't many that 19 months from now, they will take the house. it will be a good sign. if democrats lose both and lose in montana, then that doesn't mean they wo
