and so what we do is we make sure that state parties are able to actually fight back. we are in in addition to the three states we are in i'm going to miss some states. if you go to the website, you'll see them. we're definitely in georgia, north carolina. we're in florida, texas, arizona, wisconsin, ohio, michigan, nevada, maine, new hampshire, a bunch of states in the middle there. there are 17 states. go to fairfight2020.org and you can learn more. >> should election day be a federal holiday? >> yes. election day should be a federal holiday and it should be a federal holiday where employers are not permitted to threaten their workers if they try to use that time. or penalize them for using that time. because what happens if you're a shift worker, you are often in a state that says yes, you have this right, but if you don't show up within 30 minutes of the time we've given you, you lose your job. if it's a federal job, there need to be penalties for anyone not permitted to exercise their right to vote if they try to cruise that holiday. >> is the time for the electora

the reason we use state parties as they are the only entities most states are permitted to be in spite of the polling place behind the desk monitoring what is happening on election day and we need to be there from the start of registration all the the party. and so, we are in the -- the start and the three states and an example is that match veterans and republican party and kentucky changed the construction of the state elections the word and a few months ago it was discovered they purged the 175,000 people. because we were on the ground working with state party, we were instrumental in helping the state party follow a lawsuit that the federal judge said was valid and they force -- the basically invalidated if the 175,000 people. they were all permitted to vote thisis november. that may have had something to do with thee outcome of the election. [applause] what we do is make sure state parties are able to actually fight back. we are in in addition to the three states come if you go to the website you will see them all, but we are definitely in georgia, north carolina, we are in florid

the state party chair is one of the best in the country. you could not find a better beshear, andn andy when you lead with your values, you can win. there is nothing weak about kindness and compassion. last night, and he said i will truly be looking out for you, as opposed to the president the night before who said you need to vote for matt bevin, otherwise, it embarrasses me. elections are not about you. they are about the people we are trying to help. that's why democrats are winning. we are focused on helping people across the country. , but i am sober about the task at hand. we are going to continue to compete early, everywhere, and together with our partners as we are now less than one year from the most important election in my lifetime. >> thank you. i am sure we will have more questions. i want to ask you about the 2020 the still huge, diverse, potentially divisive presidential field. on the question of party unity, i know you have a unity pledge, you have also talked about an expanded unity pledge which is not just to have candidat

that is what a 50-state party does. what i learned from last night was that we indeed can win everywhere and what is notable to me about the victory in kentucky is the similarities it has to our victory last year in wisconsin. number one, it starts with candidate quality. in wisconsin, we had a spectacular candidate for governor, tony. in kentucky, a spectacular candidate for governor, steve bashear. steve beshear's son -- andy beshear. andy is the attorney general, as you know. his father, when he was governor of kentucky, one of the most effective health-care exchanges in the country, and when matt bevin got elected, he broke it. people saw that. i firmly believe you cannot govern effectively if you have to hate everybody you disagree with. that's what matt bevin's m.o. was. that's what scott walker's m.o. was. what you saw yesterday was a great candidate, a great organization competing everywhere. in wisconsin, tony ebert's not only did better in milwaukee and madison, but across the state. about a quarter of the gai

so we makee sure state parties can fight back in addition if you go to the website you'll see them all georgia, north carolina, florida texas arizona, wisconsin ohio michigan nevada maine, new hampshire, a bunch of states in the middle. seventeen states 2020.org you can learn more. [laughter] >> should election day be a federal holiday quex. >> yes and where employers are not permitted to threaten their workers if they try to use their time. [applause]sul or penalize in them for using that time if you are a shift worker you're in a state that says you have the right but if you don't show up within 30 minutes then you lose your job. if we make it a federal holiday or penalties for if they try to use the holiday is it time to let the electoral college pass quex. >> it is racist and classist it was not designed about people not having enough votes we didn't know about idaho. what we did know is that in the south populations in the south had roughly equal populations to the north but because black people were not considered human or citizen they wanted their bodies to count for the purpose

party is, look. i am catholic and i can still do well in a very protestant state. he runs, he does well. e democratic party says, yes, he is electable. in 1968, this system of beauty contests and national elites managing the delegates reaches another crisis and comes to a head. >> we have a video of that convention, which anyone who was alive will remember. just a quick question because we are going to see it on television. in the 1950's, television arrived. after that, madison avenue. how did those additions to our culture impact the presidential selection process? dr. brown: it just starts to change the notion of who is an acceptable candidate. who should people look to as somebody who can lead? this is where republicans selecting eisenhower's happening. this is a throwback all the way to andrew jackson or to any of the other generals, grant, who won in different points in our history. there was this sense that the only way the republicans could win against the democratic coalition was to bring a war hero onto the ticket and create a coalition behind him. the prior nominee had actually

it is still an interesting thing parties tinker with delegate selection processes. different states awarded different numbers of delegates. the democrats also insured in their reforms that there was a broader diversity of delegates. they did put affirmative action, put quotas. , theemocratic party delegates have to be divided evenly in terms of women and men. representativea sample essentially of minorities . if there's 40% of the population in the state are minorities, that delegation better have 40% of itslose to delegates going to the convention be minorities. >> political junkies and reporters would love the idea of a brokered convention. this was the deathknell of a brokered convention. dr. brown: what it meant was what you accrued, you knew you would get a vote on the first ballot. >> that shifts the process to the primaries. dr. brown: it does. >> wended iowa and new hampshire become so important? makes its iowa really mark with jimmy carter in 1976. in 1976.to the process there was a large number of democrats who were running. richard nixon had stepped down after watergate.

it is outside money and they can work with the candidates directly or with the party or with the state party. that hurts them and i'd like to see the democrats weigh in on that. you have elizabeth warren saying i'm pure, not take outside money and so many say that but their party is absolutely allowing outside money to come in and do all these things so would like to see her take that on on the debate stage and see what happens. from what i understand he will skip iowa, new hampshire and from my experience when you plant a flag on the map beyond the momentum of those early states usually the momentum passes you by, case in point with rudy giuliani in florida and he saw rubio to that last cycle. i think that's not the best idea but we will see what happens. i disagree. i think he is a socialist raid he told people what they could drink and what size their pop could be in new york. i don't know. i like my big gulps.

states. how is your party planning to respond to the latest movement of digital arms race? >> there are two things i would say. it allows these candidates on the democrat field to be self-righteous and say we don't want any big corporate money or dark money when they know there are billionaires outside letting hundreds of millions into those states. elizabeth warren took money from lobbyists when she ran for senate and then transferred 10 million in to her presidential campaign. i do think there's a lot of hypocrisy inaccurate from an rnc perspective we obviously can't coordinate with any outside packed group or outside money but raising the money we have raised and putting that into voter registration and putting that into getting out the vote early we've registered more than half of the voters that we did in the 2016 cycle. we did that in a three month period and well ahead of the game and the ability we had to legally coordinate with state parties and candidates and gives us a distinct advantage. yeah, it's a challenge that they have so many flooding in and that is why t

and then not able to coordinate with the candidates directly or with the party or the state party. ke to see democrats weigh in on that. with elizabeth moore and i'm sure will not take outside money but their party is allowing it on - - outside money to come in and do all these things i would like to see that on the debate stage from what i understand getting iowa and new hampshire when you plant a flag on the map beyond the momentum of those eyearly states normally that passes you by like giuliani and florida so that's not the best idea but i disagree he is a socialist and he told people what size pop to drink. i like my big gulp.

we are a 50-state party. the democratic governor's association was fantastic. the democratic legislative campaign committee, which works on the state races in virginia, was fantastic. the party chairs in both those states were fantastic. and then most importantly, it's about candidate quality. andy beshear is an authentic politician who understands that it's time to work for people. i mean, you showed the 40% approval rating. what that doesn't show, that's actually a high water mark matt bevin. he was in the high 20s and low 30s. when have you good candidates who are speaking to the values tat command the respect of the majority of the american people, that's how we succeed. and that's how we won if virginia. >> let me ask you about beshear and how he won. we saw in kentucky last night that andy beshear, he did not run on a national message. he ran on kitchen table issues. he was talking about medicaid. he was talking about pension programs, quite frankly, he was talking about the temperament of the current governor matt bevin. this wasn't about donald trump for

most specialists are aware that the party sits atop the state in china. but the story you tell in your contribution to our series is that under president xi the party control is consolidated and institutionalized in a fairly unprecedented way through law. and you argue that in some dimension is a legitimizing project for the party but you also warn, on the other hand, that the party's heightened involvement in state governance without corresponding legal accountability and its continued resort to exceptional extra legal measures to deal with perceived enemies may undermine the stability of expectations of trust at home and abroad the party needs to succeed. so, tell us, why are we seeing this move now and why are we seeing it under president xi? >> thank you for the question and restating my thesis for me. i guess to start off first is the continuity piece, which everyone has been talking about. there's a lot of continuity under xi jinping in the legal area. primarily when xi jinping came in one of his first priorities was to elevate what he calls rule of

party or the other. the large majority. some states to get called in independent if you don't register in a party to vote in the primary. primary turnout -- they may be called in different rather than independent. >> i think people are less willing, i think you have a point, people less willing to identify the party in part because we have seen this call negative partisanship and folks are identifying with the party because they love the issues or the ideology but i hate the other side. it's driven by dislike, why you democrat because they dislike the republicans why you republican because you like engine dislike democrats. a lot of them don't feel comfortable calling themselves each evening say but 100% of the time of the party because of the core there are still problems of the party. too conservative not conservative, liberal, it just means whatever is going on with the party and becomes like a big blob and all these different tentacles, i don't know what it stands for anymore but i don't like democrats although republ republic. >>

he is now the vice chair of the new york state democratic party.nk you for being with us. >> sure, call me chris, please. >> have you spoken with mayor bloomberg since he officially jumped into the race idea? what is your sense of his planned strategy of action over the next couple of days? >> we have not spoken. he has a country full of people he needs to speak to. you know, look, what he's doing, which is maybe not too different from mike bloomberg in general, is something unorthodox. he's entered this field, by all usual takes, very late. and he's missing iowa, new hampshire, south carolina. so the initial biggies. so the question here is, can the amount of money and the message he has make it okay to enter this late? now, as you said, there was a tv bombardment. i saw the ad three times in manhattan before i left the house this morning. soy think we need a bigger word than bombardment. so the question will be will this amount of money and his message be enough to balance out entering so late. and i think only time will tell about that. i know w

we see right now is just an aspect of an ongoing war to silence all political dissenting parties and every state you see which ever parties are dominant trying to silence all possible challengers it's going to hammer them i mean we're talking about something that's going to restrict access it's going to hurt donations it's going to really prevent ideas from spreading but it's going to hurt the american people more and hurt the people of new york more because the things that could improve their lives ranging from ending the drug war making home schooling easier getting the government entirely out of education cutting taxes increasing job opportunities all those great things that are offered by small parties like the libertarian party are now essentially off the table when you have 2 major parties who are borderline colluding on everything sort of reducing the number of political options and restricting things to 'd things that people even want that's where we get into a huge problem so that's going to be of course going to hurt most of all the parties but it's going to be even worse hurt the amer

state senator or member of congress. and they think that that's different for their party, for their donors, for their base. is it? , depending on the state, yes. other places, not at all. it's as normal as can be. it does depend where you're running and what kind of district. but there's no doubt just in general there's a double standard out there. we hear people talking about is a woman likable enough to win, versus does she have the qualifications. >> sure, on both sides. >> on both sides of the aisle. so there are a lot of challenges toward women running on both sides. but for republicans i think it's particularly difficult with the president right now because he's so divisive, and frankly, mothers can't let their children watch the president speak. >> they want to just win 20 new seats, 20 in 2020, which sounds like that's it. on the other hand, that's 20 times more than they won in the last election. >> that's right. >> susan, thank you so much. >>> coming up, an nbc news exclusive, democrats frustration reaching a boiling point over the internal watch dog, why the inspector general has them so upset. i'm a v

florida republicans are delighted the state's party chairman took to twitter to declare november 1stesidency day. plus it's exactly one year until election day and while democrats are busy battling it out for the nomination, president trump is sharpening his campaign message. trump and the rnc raised a staggering $125 million last quarter and they've already put it to good use with this campaign ad during game seven of the world series. >> president trump is changing washington, creating 6 million new jobs, 500,000 new manufacturing jobs, cutting illegal immigration in half. obliterating isis, their caliphate destroyed, their terrorist leader dead. he's no mr. nice guy, but sometimes it takes a donald trump to change washington. >> jeff, very early ad we're seeing here from the president. >> super early ad and it's a good reminder that there is another candidate, another 2020 candidate in this field who is running, donald trump. and he has so many advantages. and the biggest thing at this point is money. he can use that ad and he can advertise in a big way. so that ad was even praise

he argues the states aren't diverse enough to reflect the country. and the democratic party. iowa of course holds its caucus first. new hampshire holds the first primary. >> demographically it's not reflective of the united states as a whole. certainly not reflective of the democratic party and other states should have a chance. so yes, of course, woe need to find other states and that doesn't mean iowa and new hampshire can't play an important role. but i don't believe forever we should be married it iowa and new hampshire going first. >> very interesting. let's discuss. hello, thank you. david, you think julian castro has a good point? >> yeah, of course he has a good point. it's a good thing for politicians to remember voters don't care about whether or not the rules are favorable to a particular candidate. any democrat should go in thinking if the rules are stacked against me i have to win by the rules in place. this election year. that being said, of course he's right. it's not just as he said that iowa and new hampshire are less diverse states. take demographics aside. i

party. the state republican party decided not to allow this to prevent people from selecting a less desirablenst other party candidates. >> regardless of how they register, i think they vote their conscience what's in the best interests of interest of society. >> they'll be asked if they'd like to vote in the primary. the appropriate ballot can be printed on the spot saving the county tens of thousands of dolla dollars. >> we can pre print. >> or the voter can make that decision at the polling place. those choosing not to cross over as it's called, will have no third party on the ballot. if that process is confusing, it's estimated that one million might not participate in the presidential primary. david louie, abc 7 news. >>> the 2020 primary election will be earlier than in years past. election day is march 3rd. voter registration is due by february 18th. request a vote until february 25th. >>> we got the cooldown today. but is the rain ever coming? >> spencer christian is here with the forecast. >> we did get the cooldown. we still have that. there's perhaps drizzle on the way. clouds are

and then to be congenial to them and with the persistence of the two-party system. >> this is part of the united states. and the two political parties to a score you need each other. and those are both the score you did. and with these call-in shows i have been hearing about that. >> and with ross perot 1982 and then trying to become a third party and celebrity as a business person to create a third party movement. and then seem to be competitive with clinton and george h.w. bush with the general election polling. and then to be president and then to be independent and then for that to emerge. about what amounts to a test case. i suspect nobody in this room remembers the election of 1912. i see jed williams is laughing. but in 1912 when articulate america talks about the appeal of progressive ideas. and theodore roosevelt who had the highest percentage of popular vote of any president. sense the rivalry. and those with proven ability. to be highly confident and a wise candidate that they ran in non- southern congressional districts in 1912 and 18 for one - - 40 election i look like the third party was
