. >> in the last couple of weeks, lots of liberal democrats were jumping off the ralph north am band wagon because of his handling of sanctuary cities and other cultural issues. >> you're right. gillespie's twhauts got him to flip-flop. it was there. you saw a flat period in the day by day polling. what is the message in that? >> it has been 12 hours since virginia polls close. >> that's how we do it. >> here's what i would say, i think, chris, the lesson is anti-trumpism runs overall. that is doubts about the democratic nominee are overwhelmed among liberals and democrats by their distaste for trump. remember that barack obama was the greatest union fire of the republican party. he did what no republican could do, unify over the eight years he was president. they scored a lot of gains there. i think what you saw in virginia last night is donald trump as the base moat ator and union fire. >> there is another lesson and that is ed gillespie took a lot of cues from the trump playbook. saying he was going to keep up the confederate statues. is it that trump brand of politics is not tran

and he was in particular looking at ralph north ham of virginia, because he was not a progressive kindf guy. will democrats be able to find those in these states? >> i think it's going to be very difficult. especially when you have the bernie sanders wing of the parity, which is empowered by millennials who want to see more of that kind of rhetoric. if you notice in terms of this last govern race, one of the reasons people mention why he was such a powerful figure was he wasn't the one with the anti trump messaging. democrats had just been all about anti-trump rhetoric. so at this point, it's going to be very difficult for many democrats to get elected because at this point that's just the flavor of the year. >> i absolutely agree, and jessica, if the economy continues to do well and better, saw yesterday even wages are starting to pick up a little bit, and they yet get the tax cut done, and people see more money, do you think a generic ballot, at least that gap which is about 13 points now, do you think that might shrink? >> it can absolutely shrink, but as you said it's 13 to 15 poin

what we saw in virginia was historic in the five counties outside d.c., ralph north ham won by twice as many four years earlier. republicans on capitol hill may say this division of responsibility is working. he's drawing the media spotlight. we are quietly advancing our agenda. this enormous tax cut that should be much more in the center of things. on the other hand, there is evidence that there may be ultimately a price in this for them as well and it questions whether more should be raising the questions that jeff flake has done. >> here is adam schiff's comments with la rar baavar bal. the president would have left american students in a foreign jail because their families didn't lavish is sufficient praise on him. how can someone in such a big office be so small? the tone may be starting to erode some is of his support in inspe independents, i have a panel of trump voters. i asked him to grade the president. you'll be fascinating to see how they feel. he likes when he calls out people. >> i'll be curious whether your panel lines up with this. people say they like that he is a co

insurmountable where ed gillespie can catch up and donald trump ended up winning the residency, but ralph north northam is your slight favorite. to me, this is a race with the national environment where things should be really bad for republicans. we see president trump's approval rating in the high 30s. we see the fact that if you control the white house you normally do very poorly in this virginia governor's race and the tactics on ed gi and the hard-hitting ads -- >> correct, the question to me is what matters more? the environment which is really rough for republicans or the tactics that you can give in the republican column and the force that plays out and it's a bigger factor. we'll tell you who wins tomorrow. >> these are two mild-mannered guys and yet the race is nasty. we are seeing your first sanctuary city. it's gotten brutal. >> the debate moderated by chuck todd and the next day you start seeing the ms-13 ads and it's been rough-and-tumble from both sides and that's how politics is right now, but to me it's ironic how national the stakes are in this race were given that we're talki

ralph north amonly up by a couple of points. how much stock should we put into this?remember what happened with the polls around this time? when you see it you take it with a grain of salt. there have been a lot of polls in the last week or so a dozen polls here in virginia. and you do see a lead. it's a small lead but it's a steady lead basically almost every poll taken has shown him up a couple points here. that's close enough. something funny can happen here. gilespie can win this thing. if gilespie does win i think you have questions to ask about the polls. if you are a democrat you feel pretty good going in that this is where you want to be. you're haunted a little bit by last year. 12 polls with the advantage. >> how is race playing into gilespie? how much of a factor do you think it will be depending on who northam whether or not minorities end up showing up for northam? >> just to put a finer point on that, this issue that gilespie faces here running on this sort of trumpism. look at the blue areas. this is the clinton/trump result. he basically got one out of
