but kirsten powers, i want to ask you a question. the gop today tweeted support in effect for the president's attack on mcraven and made this claim that mcraven is in effect political, saying that he reportedly was interested in being in hillary clinton's -- hillary clinton's vice president, which mcraven and the clinton campaign have denied. why is the gop following the president down this path? >> that was exactly what i was going to ask. basically, even if you were to allow for all sorts of contingencies here, at the end of the day, even if he is, you know, treating the military well and they believe they're being treated well, it wouldn't matter how much money a democrat was giving to the military. so the question is why are republicans backing him up. i mean, not even seemingly angry at him about it and backing him up on it. this is just such a -- so far from anything that i recognize from how republicans normally act when we're talking about people who have served the country. i also want to say, even if he had been a hillary c

. >> laura: that was kirsten powers. she felt very strongly about it at the time. wrote it in the book title. how things have changed. three years. now kirsten powers is doing her own silencing and berating white women who voted for trump. >> they will say i'm not racist. i voted for him because i didn't like hillary clinton. i just want to say that that's -- that doesn't make you not racist. it actually makes you racist. >> laura: okay, you follow that logic? we didn't get to the patriarchy part. joining me, monica crowley. and michelle ritchie. kiersten isn't the only pundit making this claim. she might be the most surprising given some of her past work. your thoughts. >> i have known kirsten for years and i like and respect her very much. but i'm incredibly disappointed in her remarks here. she seems to have dutifully submitted to cnn and it's insane dishonest agenda. there are two things that are ludicrous. her remarks about if you voted for donald trump, particularly if you are a white woman, that somehow makes you a racist. the first is it's the presumption d

rick santorum and kirsten powers.ers of the president and very clearly see why the president is quadrupling down on immigration issues six days before the midterms. >> right. well, so these are issues that correspond with what donald trump believes and his base believes. you know, you certainly can say he is doing some of these things to gin up support in the midterms which in itself isn't a problem, it's something presidents do. the thing that i'd say is different is when you utilize troops and send them somewhere, versus just rhetoric of making promises that will make your base happy. then there's the separate issue that just a lot of what he's saying about this caravan is just actually false. >> senator santorum, is it appropriate to use troops in this capacity at this stage? >> well, look, you have a large group of people heading to the border and the president has an obligation to make sure that the border is secure. what he's doing -- you know, if he wait -- people say, well, he should wait to see what happens.

they've put millions on the television eairwaves in order t hammer home the message that kirsten sinemaberal instead of the blue dog democrat she's been known to become in congress, one important note is the green party candidate in the state dropped out and nbc news polling had the spread between sinema and mcsally at a six point advantage for sinema without the green party candidate in the mix. with the green party candidate in the mix it was just three points. the question is, will the message get out to individuals and will they care. are they willing to vote for the democrat or will those perhaps three percentage points be enough to give mcsally the victory? >> i should add martha mcsally gave you a shoutout, the nbc road warriors at the end of her rally so good job catching the eyeball of the candidates. >>> another crucial election we are following, the governor's race in georgia. democrat stacey abrams in a dead heat against trump ally brian kemp. what are voters telling you today? >> people are making their way inside. the line is trickling in behind me. what people are talking

kirsten sinema holds the 20,000 vote lead. the republican party sued to try to get maricopa county from curing ballots that had problem. but the gop backed down allowing the process to continue through next wednesday. >> the democrats legal strategy is clear as it is troubling. they want to disenfranchise 11 counties they can't win. reporter: the president tweeted just not you arizona. signatures don't match. call for a new election? we must protect our democracy. long vote counts are routine. >> just like in the other 3,000 counties in the united states, we run our operation, they run their operation. we are constitutionally elected officers. i wanted to get every voter's signature validated if we could. reporter: sinema saw her 8,000 vote lead jump to 27,000. if that trend continues through the weekend, this red jeff flake seat will turn blue. lou: it seems there are troubles all over the country. the national left-wing media refuses to believe their radical dem cohorts could actually lose an election. >> please win fair and

that's the big thing to me i'm not sure why kirsten made the comments.te frankly this is a system she's benefited from as a white woman. >> laura: the liberals didn't care about any of this after bill clinton he was a global brand. i just watched the a&e special on the clinton. it was like a flashback for all of us covering it at the time. it was like women disgray and they disagree on the issues. >> feminism was supposed to be about women having the ability to do what they want and think the way they want. i wanted for donald trump. i'm not a racist. i voted because of economic business, trade, renegotiating nafta and so on. that's why i voted for him. >> laura: all right. thanks so. we will have a longer segment last time. the craziness football statement of all time. .. >> time for last bite. this might have been the craziest high school football game of all time in washington dc. they were facing off for the league crown. gonzaga founded down 20 to 0 and fought all the way back to take the lead with 30-seconds left until it was over. they took the en
