i want to get your thoughts on what john ralston had to say. some of these articles referred to him as an oracle. what do you make of his prediction? >> i've known him for a long time and he is no oracle. he's a contributor contributor to msnbc. he's basically the paperboy for the democrat party. he hates donald trump. he's always been against donald trump. when he had the clock as he attacked us for having a caucus. then he said donald trump was going to lose. we didn't have quite the turnout. but we have one of his tweets that said there has never been nor will there ever be a victory lap in american politics or maybe politics anywhere. that was from john ralston february of this year, february 9th of this year. he's a partisan rider and that's what he likes to write about. he carries the water for him all the time. at the end of the day, he hates donald trump. he always has brady's very critical of donald trump a very critical to the republican party here. you take it for what it's worth on face value. it's john ralston. >> molly: i don't kn

joining us now john ralston, ceo of the nevada independent, and mia rupert, democratic political strategist. welcome to both of you for being with us tonight. maya, let's lean into this again. donald trump's whole thing he would protect women, and now he says whether or not they want him to or not. if i where were donald trump i wouldld not talk about doing things for women whether they want him to or not. but the phrasing of it, that's not true. >> when we see donald trump taking some of these positions where it t doesn't make sense, he's sort of speaking nonsense, very clearly what is happening he's being told he has a problem with women, he needs to speak to women, but he doesn't have anythingn, to say. his policies are disastrous for women. he has a incredibly backwards agenda, project 2025 or on issues that impact women. he's making these off-the-wall claims that don't mean anything. and the reason they don't mean anything is he doesn't have anything real to say. >> let's talk about nevada. particularly if for some reason kamala harris struggles in the blue wall states of wisconsin, mi

here is john ralston covers nevada he looks at the numbers all the time here is what he said on msnbcost people i crust on both sides believe this is going to be closer than catherine cortez victory for the u.s. senate in 2022 which was 8,000 votes remember she wasn't even ahead on election night. the mail in ballots came in late put her over the top. i think that's going to happen again for kamala harris here. >> bret: specifically talking about nevada and republicans talk about nevada like march r. manna from heaven looking good. >> everyone thinks nevada is really close either way. as in your model it's the one state she may take out of these states clearly i do think democrats are feeling more confident. feel kamala is in her group grot there positive message. looked desperate all hitler message and democrats i talk to say it can't be trump. trump going to top out at 47%. this is what the democrats think today is it was of the get out the vote effort? because they like the close better? if you are looking at the numbers that alex is looking at and you are looking at where is posit

joining us now, john ralston, ceo of the nevada independent and maia rupert, who served in senior roles on the elizabeth warren campaign. donald trump's weird thing that he keeps on talking about, how he is going to protect women, now he says whether they wanted or not. if i was donald trump, i would not sort of talk about doing things to or for women whether they wanted to or not, but regardless of his phrasing and his framing of it, is just not true. >> right, that's exactly right and i think that when we have moments like this, when we see donald trump sort of taking some of these positions, it does not make sense. he is speaking nonsense. very clearly what is happening is he is being told that he has a problem with women. he needs to try to appeal to women but he doesn't have anything to say. his policies are disastrous for women. he has an incredibly backward view of gender. project 2025 is absolutely catastrophic for issues that impact women, and so what he is going to do is make these off- the-wall claims that don't mean anything, and the reason they don't mean anything is that h

. >> in fact, i was talking to john ralston the other night in nevada. he was saying the same thing, elon musk, you may think he has got lots of strengths, ground game political operations are long, their efforts are built over years, if not decades. you've got one in wisconsin. they had one in nevada. elon musk has not necessarily mastered this particular thing. a lot of money goes into it, but money is not necessarily the thing that builds the ground game. >> that is exactly right. i think you will see as much activity on the ground from elon musk's suffering as we will see optimist robots knocking on doors. be prepared at this point. i think the trump campaign has made a strategic mistake. they decided they would focus on so- called election integrity, rejecting a legitimate balance, making sure people that support trump actually get to the polls. on the democratic side to me still both persuasion and mobilization, people want to vote for harris that need that extra nudge and a reminder about what i did to bring to the polls when they cast their ballo

though i will say john ralston shocked a lot of people yesterday. ised a lot of people, but he's sort of the ann selzer of nevada in that he's undefeated in his calls out there. >> he's going to be on in a minute to explain what he's seen in nevada that made him feel that way. donald trump has been all over the place, yes, encouraging early voting, but two days ago said we should vote on election day, it takes the fraud out of it. we talked about for months and months republicans at the state level in those blue wall states especially have been sending up signals to the trump campaign, hey guys, are we going to open an office in this district? i see nothing. it appears that has held up. one caveat is, i don't think any of us would be shocked if donald trump won those states by three points. you go into a tie. i don't think it would be a shock if we wake up tomorrow and donald trump as won, either way, because it is such a close race. >> mark more y'all, thank you very much for coming on. >>> coming, corporate america has largely stayed silent this el

john ralston, it's so great talking to you. studio, elise jordan, a former aide in the george w. bush white house, and basil smikle, a democratic strategist and former head of the new york state democratic party. both elise and basil are msnbc political analysts. elise, first to you, donald trump has been getting more and more anti-women and violent in his rhetoric, certainly starting with the dark tone in madison square garden, the speakers as well as the president himself, and in recent days, and then we see what happened with liz cheney. you know liz cheney, i know you've worked with her. do you think this has normalized and that people just are not responding to it? that it doesn't have an impact on voting? >> i think it's quite a closing message when you know that you're really behind with women, and women are incredibly energized in the post roe era. you see women responding to this. they're fed up and sick of it. nevada may not be the best place where the early voting has been driven by women, but in texas, georgia, you
