, the vice presidential debate had the spectacle of cheney absolutely waking up the floor with john edwards. at one point, cheney said to edwards, "you know, senator edwards, i go down to the nate every tuesday and i never sue you. i do not recall having seen you." there was also a controversy that developed that had to do with something called the swift boats. we will talk more about it. but there were a group of veterans who said that some of the things that john kerry was claiming he had done during the vietnam war really had not been his achievements. the debates between kerry and, uh, george w. bush. ad 12 ten, i--one to 10, because there was not any electricity. there certainly was no charisma. even the fact, though, kerry came perhaps a little bit closer than was expected, because bush/cheney piled up 286 elect for bolts to -- electoral votes to 51. that brought us to 2008, and that was, again, another election to remember. on the left, an interestingly please note -- the hair. is barack obama and below him that youngster from delaware joe biden. on the upper right, john mccain and s

still, the governor of louisiana, john bel edwards says it had a greater impact on the western part ofected. primarily on the issue of knocking out power. in fact, more people lost power during hurricane delta than they did during the much more powerful hurricane laura six weeks ago. in fact, the governor says at the height of the outages during delta 25% of all electricity customers in the state lost power. the good news is it's not expected to take weeks to restore. the other good news? so far no deaths have been attributed to the storm, although i'll underline so far. the awful irony here in lake charles is this community was so devastated by hurricane laura at the end of august it's really hard to tell where the damage of one hurricane ends and the destruction of the next storm begins. but we do know there is additional damage here. you know that by the blue tarps. which were an indication of the families and homeowners starting to make the basic repairs. now you will find blue tarps torn, shredded and ripped and strewn all over lake charles, which means that homes have been damage

edwards, former democratic congresswoman from maryland, "washington post" and a.b. stoddard at real clear politics. welcome all. rick, first to you. you know texas so well. we've seen johnn begin to separate himself from the president. could cornyn seat be in doubt in texas this year? >> well, look, andrea, it's amazing we're talking about texas, texas, texas. if you look back at the history, you have mitt romney who won texas by about 16 points, donald trump won it by 9. beto o'rourke lost it by less than 5. so it's been trending blue for a long time. you can see trending blue for those numbers. now according to there's morning news poll, biden is ahead of trump three points in texas. that's within the margin of error. that brings it down to zero. anything is possible. the thing with texas, there is a demographic now, largely latino voters voting in big numbers now. texas has been red for a long time. it used to be blue with ann richards. now it's starting to trend toward blue again. could they get it at this time, absolutely. i don't know. we'll have to see. >> donna edwards, we've heard president trump's comments try to appeal to suburban women. here is what he just
