upon reaching the state has, he -- statehouse, he experienced a rapid rise in kentucky political circles. several factors account for his success. as mentioned, he came from a prominent, politically active family. that helped a great deal. but his personal attributes played a major role. he was a riveting speaker and seldom missed an opportunity to display his skill. for example, during his first race for congress in 1874, blackburn happened across a public execution. noting his prominence in the community, the local sheriff beckoned blackburn up on the scaffold to sit next to the. -- the prisoner. vice president stevenson recalled the same. -- the scene. at the near approach of the fatal hour, the sheriff, with watch in hand, amidst a sea of upturned faces, stated to the prisoner that he had yet five minutes to live and it was his privilege, if he so desired, to address the audience. the prisoner meekly replied that he did not wish to speak. whereupon, blackburn, stepping promptly to the front of the scaffold, said, as the gentleman does not wish to speak, if he will kindly yield me his

accusations that one is a rhino, always been a democrat even though he was elected to the statehouse republican. where do we go with this one? >> the republicans are -- the democrats have plenty of problems on their side in terms of primaries. we talked about the many times before coast-to-coast. but as we look forward to tuesday, some of these races in west virginia and indiana in particular, it may not matter who the eventual winner is so much as how vile these primaries are. the rottenness of this indiana primary, the personal vile nature of these things. think about it this way. if you fight on issues in a primary those issues generally don't carry over into the general election because it's a different issue set for two different electorates. but it's personal and character attacks, that goes right over into the general electorate. it gives them a running start to remember everything you heard about what a dirt bag is person is? i agree. here are the ads. >> shannon: tomorrow night we may have some results to talk about. an end if he doesn't win he will mount a third-party run.

like in the oklahoma statehouse, where four seats in the legislature flipped from republican to democrate trump was elected. in kentucky, one local district that voted for trump by a margin of nearly 50 points, they just elected a democrat to the kentucky house from that district. the democrat won by a margin of 37 points, which means that was an 86-point swing in democrats' favor in kentucky. and kentucky republicans are looking weak in other ways. the republican leader in the house just lost his seat in a republican primary, where a first-time candidate kentucky teacher took the republican leader's seat. and of course, there was the biggest flip of them all. the democrats flipping the u.s. senate seat in alabama that had previously belonged to attorney general jeff sessions. democrat doug jones now hold jeff session's old seat in the senate, even though trump won the state of alabama by 28 points. even where democrats haven't actually been winning, they have been spooking republicans even in red states and red districts. kansas' fourth congressional district is a very red district. tha

a former democratic leader in the statehouse, but i'm sorry, democrats have been telling me for a longe and on paper it is. donald trump didn't do great in georgia. 50% of the vote versus other deep south states. georgia is an opportunity for democrats. however they can't get their act together to nominate people who match the people in georgia. if we think about -- they had a former governor miller who spoke at the republican national convention. there was a way that it worked for them, it looked like democrats, they have nominated a progressive, they have nominated -- the fact that she's african-american is testament to something very important for democrats not just in the south. democrats have not figured out how to have this discussion on race. we watched it with hillary clinton and bernie sanders. we watched it before. where's the party's energy, where's the loyalty and this will continue to plague them i think. >> shannon: let's turn now to kentucky. tell us about a new mcgrath. >> she is not the candidate that national democrats wanted. jim gray is the mayor of lexington. he is

[laughter] okay, so it was an inane idea, and i was widely mocked. the headline, too fit to be, and is rupert murdoch's recently buying the journal did not help matters. later that day the press pool trailed obama to a farmers' market in florida. he ordered a strawberry milk shake, and as he took a long sip, he looked right at me. [laughter] we locked eyes, and as he gulped down the frothy mix, he said, wow, this milkshake is delicious. maybe if i had

just a mile from the statehouse.. in the travis heights neighborhood.. we find a contemporary, detachedre foot home nestled in a wooded cul-de-sac. here.. the views grow on trees.ásot(ted smith, realtor, west austin properties)"if you walk into the living room, you get this vaulted ceiling, two story high with these walls of windows all the way up and these stunning views." the home was built three years ago. the paint still smells fresh and the appliances shine. ásot(reporter) "the floors - concrete."(ted smith, realtor) "polished concrete floors. very easy to take care of." upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths. the master bath has a sliding door to maximize space. the bathroom is nice and all.. but the real piece de resistance is up another flight of stairs. ásot(ted smith, realtor) "this magnificent 360 degree view that we've got."(reporter) "oh, wow!" a 530 square foot rooftop deck. up in the trees.. seemingly away from it all.. except you're really not.ásot(ted smith, realtor)"just hop down the street, turn right, you go down to congress avenue and you're in the middle of

loopholes, but this movement of young people is making incredible things happen in state houses -- statehouses across america. they are rapidly becoming a major force for change in corporate behavior and their soon-to-be voters. this movement is getting results. congress is going to have to choose who to listen to -- the students who are spending their class time thinking about whether their desks are in the line of fire or the gun lobbyists who want to further weaken gun laws on the books so they can make more gun sales. i know where i stand. i'm going to keep doing everything i can to put the safety of my granddaughter, my grandson and kids across america and our neighborhoods ahead of the gun lobby's agenda of selling more guns. we may not be able to stop every shooting in our schools and in our streets, but if congress takes meaningful action to close the gaps in our gun laws, we will save lives. madam president, i ask consent that the next statement i make be placed in a separate part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: thank you, madam president. i want t
