you look at numbers like that, ben rhodes, does that guarantee a blue wave come november?k it does. the fact of the matter is people in midterm elections often wrote against the party in power. that happened to us in the white house in two times. president obama did not have numbers anywhere near what president trump currently has. these are abysmal numbers heading into a midterm election. you also see enormous energy on the democratic side. you see a diverse and young group of candidates stepping up. you've got president obama coming in, trying to turn out the voters who voted for him. we see all the elements in place for a very good day for democrats coming up in the election. we have to work to turn our people out. these elections are won on turnout. that's why president obama's been back out on the campaign trail. >> let's talk about that, because i thought of you on friday. i listened to you in illinois. your old boss jim mecino, said he actually teared us when he listened to president obama. as you watched and listened to the presidented on friday, what did you think
