would certainly speculate that has something to do with that it is a partisan organization the democratic national committee so any poll say that may have a tradition of leaning republican or not considered to be in the mainstream of democratic artists and ship you know would be would be ruled out even the polls deemed credible. the democratic party have a margin of error of between 2 and 6 percent and when the criteria for being in the debates is only 2 percent a margin of error like that is a pretty big deal so tulsa gabbert could have between 0 and 7 percent support among american voters now keep in mind there are over 200000000 people who are registered to vote in the united states of america so what's the difference between 0 and $14000000.00 well whatever it is it is apparently not important to the democratic national committee there is a margin of sampling error so if the margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent what is 2 percent in the polls if if it's 1.51 percent that the candidate has then does get rounded up to 2 percent whereas the 1.44 percent which is meaningless one could argue t

has met the donations threshold he's got over 2 percent 126 different national polls however the democratic national committee says that doesn't count they have their certified list sure it's important of that information it's being provided but let's take a quick look at some of the polls that were rejected politico the economist reuters if these widely respected outlets and news agencies aren't credible in america then who is holing in the united states there is a. network of close associates and friends and they frown upon those polls that are either new or are now members of the club or the association so i would certainly speculate that has something to do with that it is a partisan organization the democratic national committee so any poll say that may have a tradition of leaning republican or not considered to be in the mainstream of democratic artists and ship you know would be would be ruled out even the polls deemed credible. the democratic party have a margin of error of between 2 and 6 percent and when the criteria for being in the debates is only 2 percent a margin of error lik

the chair of the national democratic party, my friend, tom perez. >> good evening, democrats. night two. welcome back to detroit for night two of our second residual primary debates. what a great debate we had last night. anyone hear a discussion about hand size last night? no. this was the arena. this was the facility where they talk about hand size. i kid you not. instead, we talked about the serious stuff. we talked about health care. we talked about good paying jobs. we talked about the issues that matter to working families. we will have another spirited discussion tonight in this wonderful city. i love detroit. i call it the opportunity belt. ,etroit, cleveland, buffalo milwaukee, pittsburgh, those are the opportunity belt. they are cities of hope. cities of accomplishment. in fact, we are just a few miles pennedom where dr. king his famous i have a dream speech. he was at the solidarity house. headquarters of the united auto workers. , every time iu come here to detroit, i think of that speech. i came here a lot because we did a lot of stuff together. and thank you for

my current projects explore the history of the democratic national committee as well as latino political organization. i'm also a new host for the new books and latinos podcast. i'm also the moderator of today's round table discussion. we'll try to cover as much ground as possible during our short time here and we'll save time at the end for questions from the audience. and with that said, we should get started in making the case for latino political history. the first question i'd like to ask is what is latino political view? >> thank you for organizing this and bringing us together. i see latino political history including many different fields and tying together issues that are important to the united states. while many political histories stay more recent and focused on immigration, in my view, latino political history includes larger national debates over land ownership and land use in what is currently the u.s. southwest. but other regions earlier than that in places along what became the midwest, southern midwest. i think it is crucial to tie what has been larger or regional stori

the national democratic party is holding its big meeting. we saw a parade of candidates come through today to make their case. including one who lives in san francisco and one who was of course elected here. kamala harris is campaign had plenty of supporters in the audience. she blasted the president for backtracking on gun control. >> when he coddles the nra, he blusters a lot, he reminds me of a puffer fish. >> reporter: senator booker gave a special shout out to san francisco. >> some people thinking of hope and faith is a losing strategy. i think it is the only way that we have ever won.

and often very tightlipped he has become a national figure and i think democrats are eager to continueortraying him as a national figure. he has these nicknames we were talking about, moscow mitch, the grim reaper, son that he has given himself, some that others have given to him. it is a chance for democrats to go after that seat, much the way often happens to these leaders. this will be a new environment for leader mcconnell, so we see how he does again. >> always very competitive in kentucky. they always go after him hard. he has managed to prevail, always a lot of money spent. they are dying to take him out in kentucky. as he said, this is about cash being spent by the democrats. going to let democrats overspend in kentucky and saturate the market. because you can win that way when you are spending money on campaign ads and television spots. you really need to match the spending when you have a race as competitive as this one. is not a big challenge yet, but she could become one if there is enough money spent. >> thank you both for being part of newsmakers. announcer: senator amy k

there is an evolution of latinos and the national democratic party. so that leads me to my next question. what are some of the key texts that have informed your approach to the history of latinos and u.s. politics. and thinking about that, maybe jerry can start. singing about that, i think this is a good way to discuss ways in which we as political as people can diversify our syllabi. >> well, i have lots of different answers to this. in one way every book written in the field is an important touchstone for me because i think all of them, in one way or another pick up on parts of the story. but, at the same time, nothing picks up on, nothing, i wouldn't point to any single thing political history of latinos were at large. but, i think 1987 book angle the mexicans and the making of texas as important. there is politics and throughout that, from the texas revolution to the party, to early efforts by the democratic party or democratic party machine bosses. in texas, trying to recruit or buy, in many cases the votes of mexican workers. so there are moment

is shocking to think that it wasn't until the late 1970s were you have conversations about national democratic parties. i think if we look at these national institutions are party organizations, there is a serious slack with basic facts of presidential elections. before then this'll be my segue into the next question. the engagement between the dnc or presidential elections is very touch and go. we see that in viva canady. they spread it out mostly in texas. you have independent he led. and formal relationships with the national parties fundraising for jfk. there is some work. i think it influences my perspective on things and seeing and evolution of latinos in the democratic party. that leads me to my next question, what is some of the key text that formed my approach? >> thinking about that, i think this is a good way to discuss ways in which historians can diversify. >> and one away every book written in the field is an important touch, because i think all of them in one way or another pick up on parts of this story. at the same time, nothing picks up. i wanted pick up on a political histor

colleague's point, as a member of the republican party, democrats would not call it islamic terrorism, we do have to be able to call out white nationalismy its name forcefully and say it has no place in america but when you have democrats like congressman joaquin talking about individuals who have given money to the president and at a time we have great divisiveness, putting a target on the backs of private citizens i don't think that is in the name of healing, don't think that is the name of unity. when you have the president of the united states saying i'm here, present and ready for duty to stand up and be a unifying force that is something we should applaud. >> this is a president who personally identified and targeted four members of congress, african-american neighborhoods, called them infestations, and invasion, that is the kind of language he has to stop if he is going to get to unity. >> it's not about the president. >> he has created -- heather: that is the thing. i agree with joseph. this is supposed to be about the people who lost their lives, these communities hit by these mass shooting so both sides should come together an
