three quarters of that campaign states, in six including rust belt states of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin that donald trump needed to win in order to be elected president under the current, legitimate system that candidates run under because of the state-based winner take all law, ok? the constitution allows you to change the system through state legislative action. it says each state shall appoint , so if you are interested in reforming the current system, state-based action is the approach to take, not because it is expedient, but because this system was adopted over time, so simple state laws get replaced .ith state laws the real shortcoming of the current system, in my mind, and as a republican in minnesota, i cannot think of a single redeeming quality of the current system -- the real problem is that in every presidential election, if you are a battleground state voter, you get what you want from the american president, and the rest of us are forced to deal with that because we happen to be in reliably republican or democratic states, ok? the real shortcoming is that to

three quarters of that campaign occurred in six states including pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin that donald trump needed to win in order to be elected president under the legislate system that candidates run under because of the state based winner take all law. now article two section one of the united states constitution allows do you change that system through state legislative action. it says each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature there may direct a number of electors interested in reforming the current system state action is the ware to go. the system was adopted over time. simple state laws get replaced with state laws. okay. so the real shortcoming of the current system in my mind and as a republican in minnesota i can't think of a single redeeming quality of the current system. is problem is in every presidential election if you're a battleground state voter you get what you want from the american president and the rest of us are forced to deal with that. we happen to be in reliably republican or democratic states. okay. so the real shortcoming, right,

logic tells me that within pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin that their russians in favor of trump -- that the russians in favor of trump. i cannot prove that that cost hillary clinton the election. i can prove that right after the comey letter, she jobs like a rock. that means that trump cannot be opposed for a peek because you are -- for impeachment. there may be other reasons to impose it. the election was a fluke. it was the result of an improper intervention. james comey has never taken responsibility for giving this country as donald trump as president. james comey he gets to decide what the higher loyalty is. host: wisconsin i believe she went to once. guest: of course. in retrospect, you can look at lots of mistakes. i would just remind you that she has taken ownership for mistakes. two things can be true. one is a presidential candidate makes mistakes. that might've changed the outcome. october 28, she wins. on october 31, she dropped like a rock. the first effect is that she made mistakes. the second true fact is that without james comey's letter, she wins the election. h

florida, virginia, delaware, connecticut, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, oklahoma, georgia, nevada, utah, new mexico, arizona, oregon, and colorado. we're making a major commitment connecticut in 2018 because it's up for vote there and while working with mpv, hopeful for success. and our community occasion stramg now strategy now is focussed on education. first we're going to start an e-mail campaign, focus for the time being on connecticut but it will expand. two, we're launch rg we're announcing the launch of a video campaign, one of which will explain the goals and mechanics of the national popular vote compact. another one will show interviews with elected officials, thought leaders, media figures, voters and activists on why they support the compact and why they support a national popular vote. and we're exploring other topics. and we're also holding events to provide attendees with an educational experience concerning a national vote. and it's urgency right now and the idea is to enhance the visibility and public awareness around the issue. mvc has lofted two of these events

they were pushing votes to give one example to joe stein, her vote in michigan, in pennsylvania and wisconsin was greater than the gap between donald trump and hillary clinton in those states. you can't prove that it did affect the outcome. but it certainly seems likely that it had some impact. >> cordes: it does beg the question, how is it that these russian operatives knew to focus on purple states like michigan and wisconsin and your campaign didn't? >> of course we spent a lot of time and energy and effort in all those states. >> cordes: hillary clinton did not spend much time. >> we had tim kaine was there, barack obama, she spent enormous time in pennsylvania and michigan. we spent a lot of effort, we had staff in wisconsin that even president obama had in 2012. that begs the question. we focused on the places we thought were -- that were in contest and the end of the day we fell short in those states and i think that this act active effort by russians could have tilted the election in donald trump's favor. i think what the real issue is, how he's reacted to it. in that context if this

stein tonight but the russians apparently worked hard to help jill stein and her margins in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin threw the electoral college to donald trump. so every bit of money they spent helping jill stein paid off. it won donald trump the electoral college. >> no one will prove whether this effort is why zrufrp president. people who work on campaigns have feelings on that. but there's a more fundamental question that's the one i appeal to people in the republican world to ponder. whether or not this made donald trump president, you have to ask the question why, what made it about the russians want to help republicans? that ought to cause some moral searching. perhaps among -- i don't know jill stein. but bernie sanders might want to ask that question as well of himself. why me? if you're attracting this kind of support what does it say? >> can i add one thing, look at donald trump's behavior, for everyone saying nothing happened, nothing here, the house intelligence committee, paul ryan, a week ago, all worked to undermine the fbi's investigation, to undermine the mueller prob

do theirnd pontificating from new york or d.c., all i couldhe think about was wisconsin, pennsylvania, michiganthe fact that no one got anything close to getting the states right in terms effectively while coming down because no one can gain the dell might gauge the true pulse of the country. we see the analysis today and last night and we compare two poles that have astounding numbers, cnn saw the respondent's essay the speech was very or somewhat positive. itpe goes higher on cbs, 75%. two key stats. eight and ten in the cbs poll thought that the president was trying to unite the country rather than divided yet all we heard from pundits is that this was a gloomy and divisive speech. finally, the cbs poll, putting the partisans aside, those who identify as independents, 73% saw the speech as part positivt if you just watch the coverage today, you would think this was one of the worst, most divisive, most darkest beaches we've ever seen from a president. >> tucker: it's almost as if there is a disconnect between the public on the people who are supposed to be gathering its news and presentingg

how many people in wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan where the election was decided, the blue wall that came down. how many people read the ads and said i was going to go for hillary clinton but that jill stein looks like a candidate or i'll go with president trump. i don't think it was terribly effective. half of the ads bought were after at the election. it is hard to change the outcome after the fact. one more point. this is to what judy said before and many media outlets said. president trump has previously and frequently described allegations of russian meddling as a hoax. i think we're misinterpreting what he has been saying. he has been saying from my view that his campaign associates did not collude with the russians and that narrative is a hoax. i think that's his main thrust. i think that's getting lost here in terms of what narrative we're trying to push here. >> he tweeted that exact difference yesterday and tweeted something else about what you just said. he said the fake news media never fails, hard to ignore this fact from the vice president of facebook ads rob goldman an

anybody watching right now it hurt her badly in the key states of wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania.ask you this though. the guy really on trial is not hillary clinton. it's really comey. i ask you what, do you make of comey you? spent all this time writing this book. is he a partisan one way or the other? >> no, i think he's a nar sissist. >> what do you mean? >> because by his own words and i don't use labels, but nar sissism. >> it is a label. >> but i'm about to define the facts that support the label. james comey as you just had a quote from him and rod rosenstein had it write right, i get to decide when i'm going to publicize something that nobody allows me to in the justice department because i work for the justice department. i james comey decided to go to congress 11 days from the election which is contrary to 50 years of justice department policy. why? because i james comey get to decide. >> i thought he committed to it publicly and that's why he did it. >> no, he did not. what he told congress was if something new comes up, i will take a look at it. he never looked at a si

in wisconsin, pennsylvania, and michigan the ad buys were less than $3,000 total.he election in terms of changing votes, the media continually puts out stories demonstrably false, saying all media, not happens all the time, but it is like a hockey goalie, you let a couple pucks get by and people won't remember the saves. i hope people watch hockey at home. trish: you look at msnbc, cnbc, you see why no one is watching. you see why they're tuning in to us. they want the truth. they want both side. they want clarity and they want fairness. joe, thank you very much. on that note, remember we're open. the competition is closed. i will be right back. this is your new house. and a perfectly inconspicuous suv. you must become invisible. [hero] i'll take my chances. .. .. open for business. in a way there is a lot of news that will affect the news tomorrow. so stick with us. they are probably running some of my old reruns. i hope they are. trish, thank you very much. the commander-in-chief commander-in-chief getting set to leave florida. as the high school shooting the sus

donald trump had a message, particularly to those in pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, the blue wall down. we'll keep your jobs here. we'll keep companies from leaving. we'll give you tax breaks so your wages go you, more money in the paychecks and you don't have to work twice as hard to make same amount of money. hillary clinton, for life of me i don't know what her message was. that is the trick. that is the same thing in 2018 elections. to your point about the evening news, a lot of people watch, 25 million between abc, nbc, cbs. trish: actually very, i was down in nashville, tennessee. i was stopped repeatedly in the airport, hotel. my father was traveling with me. i think he got a real kick out of it. when i worked for the evening news shows, that never happened. i did get stopped once in funeral parlor in buffalo, new york. that was bit. which tells me for whatever reason cable certainly resonates in a way and has more power than perhaps -- >> joe hits on an important point this, rally and economy, not just about wall street anymore. is about main street. wasn't just wall stree

the election was turning in wisconsin, pennsylvania, and michigan. they weren't working those three states. >> they were as bad as hillary. >> they didn't have it right. i'm glad they didn't shoot straight. i think comey did affect the election. anthony, anthony weiner, blame him. don't even blame comey. the roundtable is sticking with us. up next they'll tell me something i don't know. you're watching "hardball." this is frank. sup! this is frank's favorite record. this is frank's dog. and this is frank's record shop. frank knowns northern soul, but how to set up a limited liability company... what's that mean? not so much. so he turned to his friends at legalzoom. yup! they hooked me up. we helped with his llc, contracts, and some other stuff that's part of running a business. so frank can focus on the beat. you hear that? this is frank's record shop. and this is where life meets legal. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that

, north carolina, south carolina, west virginia, kentucky, ohio, virginia, illinois, pennsylvania, louisiana, michigan, texas, new york, and oregon. even in oregon, upstate new york, you're talking about gun rights areas. what is it that is driving the business community to say, we want out of this? >> i mean, i think it's the contentiousness of this debate. you heard from the ceo there who said he didn't want any of the guns he sold to someone to end up in a headline, end up in a headline like we got from florida. i think one of the interesting things to watch from this president, if this is something he wants to do, change the age limit, he could invite the ceo of dick's sporting goods to the white house. he could praise him and say, this is something that maybe other private businesses should do. we've seen him kind of wade into private businesses before and kind of congratulate them or urge them to do something or rebuke them. that's one way he can do it. it looks like there's probably not going to be any movement on the legislative side. i think if the president really wants to stand up to the nr

this is the first republican president to sweep ohio, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin.killed immigration put pressure on blue-collar wages. workers are concerned about these things. brian: doesn't seem that the american people are buying any message. they're reacting the way they want to react and how it affects them. you have six reasons why the speech work and agenda is effective for president trump. number one, the president shows concerns for blue-collar workers. >> this is not the 1950s anymore, when manufacturing is creating more and more, high-paying blue-collar jobs. it is not the case anymore. people are concerned about trade and immigration and the growth rate of their wages. brian: manufacturing is going up. that relates historically to blue collars. millions of americans look at this, him talk about this, america first, americans are dreamers too, and dangers of ms-13, don't see is message being anti-immigrant or racist? >> if we look forward to the future, we have problem with retiring baby boomers and emergence of china. we need a lot more growth. the tax

pennsylvania. according to facebook, they spent $300. in michigan, they spent $823, and in wisconsin, $1,079. was, all but $54 of that was put towards the primary. not in the general election. all of that is testimony that we had for congress. >> sean: facts and context and texture mean an awful lot. except it doesn't fit the media narrative. that's great reporting on your part. limit go back to you, sebastian. what goes to the heart of this for me. everybody is so sanctimoniously and in their pompous arrogance talks about this russian influence. okay. we can't talk about russian influence and ignore uranium one. we can talk about russian influence and ignore the hillary clinton bought and paid for russian government dossier. >> how can we ignore it -- again, we got to stick to the facts of the matter. the opposition research found that they paid more than $12 million for one file was used to illegally obtain a surveillance warrant against an american national during a presidential campaign. that's the enormity. it makes watergate pale by comparison. it's a massive scandal. >> sean: last word

i believe they are taking a cue from what is happening down the road at pennsylvania avenue. dd from michigan. caller: how are you doing? i have a problem with the fbi and the democratic party, and mainstream media. it seems like they are all democrats and the media is the propaganda arm of the democrats, including c-span. ave actively try to unseat duly elected president. no one is talking about how bad the fbi has treated president trump, regardless of him saying he did not trust the committee, he has a right to do that. guest: i do not think that the democrats are trying to unseat. good or bad nancy pelosi, the leader of the democratic party and the democrats in the houses that she does not want to talk about impeachment. the president is the president and she is willing to work with him. she has gone to the white house on numerous occasions to do that. i've never signed on to any impeachment bills. majority of democrats have not done that. we are trying to work with the president we have, donald j. trump, the 45th president of the united states. most of us have moved on with that. the dis

there was the recount that failed, the recount showed that trump actually won wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvaniated. then they wanted to brief the electoral college on russian collusion. it would have been the shortest briefing, at that point, in all time. there was no evidence then, there is no evidence now. then there is this investigation. well, mr mueller‘s had a lot of time and a lot of money. yet i'm aware of no evidence of russian conspiracy or collusion. meetings do not constitute collusion. if so hillary clinton was colluding with the ukrainians. there are people in washington who are still looking very closely at your particular bit part in the allegations concerning... yes, indeed. ..and russia, because it did seem for a time as more and more detail was coming out about hacked information that was garnered on the democratic party that you were getting a heads up from wikileaks about what was coming down the pipes. entirely false. everything that i ever tweeted or wrote was because i was following the tweets of both wikileaks and assange and reading his various interviews. you were pre

can you bring meaningful employment to states like ohio, michigan, pennsylvania? can you take those closed factory towns and get them reopen? he speaks the language, the rhetoric of that, but in truth, the tax cut helps billionaires. now you are getting back to hoping there is a trickle-down effect. i think his most powerful moments, not his greatest policy achievements, but these moments are when he used twitter to deal ,ith carrier, ford motor's let's get the job here in the u.s. that is where he wants to be. economicd of an removal agent, somebody who brings jobs back to america. if he stayed on that message and not start constantly abusing people, name-calling on twitter, i think he would be higher in the polls. 35% that he needs to get him through the mullah report once it comes out, meaning perhaps charges of obstruction of justice, the democrats get congress in 18, may move to impeach him, this is a president that has a lot of weight on his shoulders, but his appeal for reelection will be i am bringing jobs back to places where nobody else cared about you.

social conservatives, gun owners, donald trump would not have been able to carry states like michigan, pennsylvaniao president trump we know values loyalty above almost everything else. the nra was loyal to him, it stood by him in a time when many others were walking away from him and he's not going to forget that. >> well, anita, the other problem of course are the millions of americans who are not going to watch this happen again, watch an opportunity go by. do you view the window as closing at all on this debate and the time to get a vote going? >> well, i mean, you know, we've been there so many times before. i went and looked back at all these stories i wrote after sandy hook. you could run the same stories now four years later. it does feel they're different this time in part because the kids, the students from the high school are being so vocal and you're hearing about republicans talk about doing something. we haven't heard much from the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader. they say it's awful what happened. they're not talking too much about a lot of proposals. they're talk

michigan indiana pennsylvania my guess is that for some of those republican senators that you're talking about of problems with this are coming from also then colin archie correspondent thank you for being here for sure appreciate it. while u.s. markets are closed today global markets are open ashley banks has the latest on global markets global equity markets saw their best week and more than two years this comes as investors continue to focus on corporate earnings and improving economic growth the stock's europe six hundred index was marked at point seventeen percent and frankfurt and benchmarks in germany and france were also weaker falling point one percent and point fifteen percent even as financial stocks posted themes now the m. as c. i world index would strax shares in forty seven countries was down point one percent it has recovered close to half of what it was between late january and last week slow because last week it posted again of four point three percent which was its best a weekly performance and system for two thousand and eleven here in the u.s. a few facilities were t

give a $1,000 bonus to 29 million workers and that's every worker in the states of ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, and florida combined. that's just one company's windfall. okay? so just to get a general sense, here's where the scoreboard for the tax bill currently stands. total amount that's gone to american work in other words the form of bonuses and wage increases announced since the trump tax cut is $5.2 billion which is not nothing. that's a lot of money. but the total amount that has gone to shareholders, owners, bosses, thanks to stock buybacks where corporations take the money they saved due to the cuts, use it to inflate stock prices so shareholders and corporations get richer currently totals $178 billion or doing the math in my head it, more than 34 times what workers have gotten. this is one place where the president has kept his promise. you'll remember what donald trump said, the week after the election to diners at a new york city restaurant that charges $36 for a burger. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. we'll get your taxes down. don't worry. >> t

florida, virginia, delaware, connecticut, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, oklahoma, nevada, utah, arizona, oregon, georgia, and new mexico. the strategy is focused on education. the strategy has a few different components. onst, we're going to focus and email campaign, focusing on the timing. another one will show interviews with elected official. -- with elected officials, thought leaders voters and , activists on why they support the compacts and why they support a national popular vote. we are exploring other topics. we are also holding events to provide attendees with an educational experience concerning a national vote and it's urgency right now. the idea is to enhance the visibility and public awareness around the issue. two of these events have already been posted. one at stanford law school and the other at the national press club in the fall. we are planning to events in connecticut in the coming months. one in hartford. the idea is that key legislators and influencers will attend and learn more and spread the message. we think that is going way to -- that is the way to g

they lost the vote in wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio and michigan, a lot of it was because they had trashed the catholic vote in those e-mails with podesta and bill clinton had begged hillary to reach out to the catholic vote, and they just absolutely wouldn't do it. so maybe the democrat party is coming around a little bit. 22% of those voters in 2016 were catholic. only 1% were muslim which. they spent so much time and money trying to reach out to. trish: doug, i grew up as irish catholic and father from a very big irish catholic family, and you were a democrat like you were irish like you were catholic. that was part of that generation. and i think that donald trump has really gotten in there and stolen that thunder, if you would, right out from under the democrats. so maybe they think a kennedy can bring them back. i would recommend he get the right economic policies. doug, good to see you. thank you so much. >> good to see you, too. thank you for having me. trish: liz claman, we're sending it your way. liz: i'll take it, fasten your seat belts, this market is not for the faint of heart

december 28, hillary clinton is up by a large margin, and she would carry the three states of michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. the graph on the left shows a high point of 7 or 8 points ahead, the comey letter is the black line, and look what happens, precipitously no other explanation other than comey. now why do i write a book about that. >> why is that relevant now? >> because donald trump was not elected in an unimpaired free election, it was impaired by the intervention of an fbi director who broke all the rules, did not care about breaking the rules and only thought about himself. and i do agree with donald trump on one thing, james comey should have been fired but by barack obama because he violated all the rules, not because the reason donald trump had to fire him, which seemed to be an obstruction of justice effort. >> lanny davis, you put it all out there and i appreciate you coming on "the beat." the book if you're looking for it is "the unmaking of a president 2016." >>> and my exclusive with other white house lawyer who has been a key figure in multiple cases. the new rx 350l with t

he's clinically insane because pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan racked up 77,000 votes, the margin that caused him to carry those three states and win the electoral college. hell, in michigan, the difference between the two candidates were like 12,000 votes. you got to think that presumably, some people who did vote for mr. trump did so on the basis of the misinformation and disinformation that was being put out there by the russians in an orchestrated attempt to muddle and meld in this last election. so to stand up there and say it had no bearing on the outcome, you would have to be stupid to believe something like that. and it just didn't tears my heart out and i'm 60 something years old. i remember a time when the republicans supported the f.b.i. and believed in the job that they were doing. and even the president's own intelligence heads said that there was meddling. and yet he doesn't believe that -- he's only now acknowledging that it might have happened and he's still saying beating that dead horse saying oh, but it didn't make any difference. host: all right.
