and one of the most fascinating thing about the speech, barack obama spoke to those people lecturing them a little bit saying if you want to change, you have to come out and do it. but also saying that donald trump is a symptom, not the problem. that in fact we spoke a lot about hopey changey things, but there was a problem in the united states and we should be talking about poverty effort, we should be talking about health care, we should be talking about, you know, money and income and trade and tariffs and things that ordinary americans care about. so there really is -- i think we're really seeing this coalition push that could have a big impact on the midterm elections. >> and i agree. and i think one of the big issues is going to be health care. the democrats are going to go after the republicans and say they are not fighting for your pre-existing conditions in court. and they are not going to fight for it legislatively. and you want to appeal the affordable care act, you will lose coverage for pre-existing conditions. and this will hit people where it really hurts. >> all right
