so that will be interesting. >> i'm curious, the nrcc air.he made it very cheer abouthe idea of supporting incumbents. if you are a member and you pay your dues, wee support you. that has always been the rule at the nrcc but it has never been articulated so clearly. >> like casablanca. i'm shocked, shobd. to say you want our support as a republican, hint, hint, freedom caucus members who aren't paid up, pay up. >> the party is searching for an identity. that's the problem. you saw the tweet congratulating chaffetz from paul ryan. he said liberty limited government. trump's mention is more solidarity and protection. so you see karen handel. she's a republican. >> but i think one the of pieces that we're not paying tank to is that you have over 84 republican districts. not republican. there's a 4% or more. that's a new equations that we didn't have. and the more pressure they're facing, the more they're going to participate. we saw in it georgia in 2016. >> i think the most immediate part moving forward. talking about what the strategy going fo

the nrcc is confident in our ability to keep this seat red in november appeared we will take you back to the discussion on infrastructure at the policy conference, the committee for a good, development. until then, part of the program from earlier today. >> nicely from the last one, i thought i would start by asking each of you -- if we look back on the first 100 days of the trump presidency a couple years from now, what is the one thing you think has happened that we will consider noteworthy since the president took office? bill, do you want to start? >> really? is this on? >> yes, it is on. think whating to would be the one thing. i cannot come up with anything specifically. i have a word i think we describe the first 100 days -- so far, the first 90 days, because we still have 10 days to go and who knows what will happen. >> it is a family audience. we are on tv. >> showing my military experience for many years ago and a time of crisis or did we used to have a word called vuca, which stood for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. to me, that would describe the first

so, you've got what is todd the d triple c for the democrat and the runs it's the nrcc, national republican congressional committee. the political arms separate from what people do as lawmaker but the step into a district and assassinate the competition and boost up the gave they want in the district. the political arm. the more money how raise for them, the better committee you get on them. so it's one of these areas where it's like, oh, yeah, sure, the political separate from what i really do in congress, wink, wink and that is part of the wait goes. as for the answer to term limits irdon't know. that's a tough question that could publish would need to be sorted out. in tallahassee they term limit but run in succession. was there a question? >> how do you see the future of bipartisan politic inside trump era where everything is pushed to the extreme on ever i- >> donald trump is now reaching tout democrats and i don't know if that's a tactical measure of negotiating. we'll see. but bipartisanship actually does exist. there are -- just not sexy. it's not cool to good on the news and look a

so the republican party, the nrcc just released an ad in the wake of this. let's play ♪ ♪ >> so how many here actually live in the 6th district. please raise your hand? that's good. that's good. >> we need to attract more high-tech and research jobs to the area. ♪ >> i know you talk, kayleigh, about the money that came in, 95% is from republicans. they definitely should. >> you can't lose the runoff. that would be a huge defeat for republicans. i don't think they will win the runoff because you no longer have republicans, but i do think that they should bone up their funding and pour money into this because the one thing i do think that this shows besides kind of the artificial money pumpeded into this from the democrats is i do think that there is energy among democrats just like the tea party in the wake of president trump's early presidency that came together. there was energy and they wanteded to topple the president and the democratic party. there is that energy there so republicans should not take that for granted. >> but poppy, in this race, the repub

representatives at those events, and i don't hold receptions for the purpose of paying my dues to the nrcc, and i am, along with the other three members from colorado, we have our dues paid by holding those two events. >> host: at those event does thank you interaction with lobbyists? do you feel as though they're trying to influence the colorado delegation as a group in any way? >> guest: actually -- i'm not 100% sure but i adopt the any lobbyist attends those events. we have individuals that support the republican party and individuals that believe that the republicans should be in majority. and i think that -- let me back up. i don think it's wrong to expect members of the house to raise money for the party, to try to win the majority. the same thing with the democrats. that it is just part of the reality of politics. bit favorite part of politics but part of politicked. what i find offensive is the linkage between raise michigan ask the assignment to a committee or chairmanship or inning leadership there has to be a merit-based system in place to decide who gets on what committee. if y

that's a long shot there, obviously ere's going to be a runoff, you're the former chairman of the nrcc you see this playing out? >> well, i think democrats have a lot of advantage. look, they're united, they're energized, have unlimited resources to fight the special election and frankly they've got the kind of district that would be the most likely to flip. having said that, i think they've got a candidate that's positioned too far to the left. he's not from the district. he really is an outsider there. and by nationalizing the election, so early, they certainly have given both local and national republicans a lot of time to prepare and go after him. so my guess is, we hold him below 50. we've got then until june and i think over time, we end up winning the seat. but no question -- >> you think you can win this? >> very contentious. not win it on tuesday night. >> right. >> i think we hold him under 50 and win it i think in june is when the -- june 20th if i remember correctly would be the final election. absolutely critical we hold him below 50. we need a high turnout amongst republi

i think you're seeing that certainly in kansas with the late play the nrcc, campaign committee in keeping the races in republican hands. i think you saw it in georgia insomuch as there's an 11-person field, 11 republicans running for that particular seat. but i do think that there's also this kind of sense that democrats and maybe even people wh wouldn't normally consider themselv democrats who maybe were unengaged fromhe process generally, if you focus on georgia, for example, that's a suburban atlanta district. there are a lot of potentially liberal people -- sorry, there's a little bit of a fly around here -- that it's not necessarily a place where there's a lot of people that are very, very active in politics. if you look at the difference between what tom price took home in 2016, 20 points that district went for tom price. it only went for dronald trump poi a point and a half or so. it's potentially a place where we could see this idea maybe democrats weren't super excited of getting out to vote for hillary clinton but they're really, really angry about donald trump. i think the ques
