so you have seen congressional republicans lean more into a trumpy messaging than previously. it's not surprising you have people bringing up the greatest hits of a trump rally, like the clinton e-mail scandal, at this point. >> is this posturing to a degree? do they have no other choice but to call for an investigation of ivanka, given trump 'reese lentless attacks on hillary clinton, which continue today? >> we've seen them call for this on some other issues, so it's not surprising to see him go farther on this. i will say that democrats will go after that issue, no matter what. whatever happens in the next 20 days on the question what was e-mails did she send and the content, we have seen democrats signal that's something they're going to look into going forward. so i'm interested in what the motivations of chairman gowdy are there, but we know the kind of question and the fallout of the white house senior divorce will come from democrats, no matter what. >> speaking of looking into things, on the khashoggi killing, you have house democrats, adam schiff widely expected to b

. >> they have the trumpy districts where you need the ardent base supporters and a reason to do that, but the non-stop attack on immigration and using the caravan is a backdrop for that conversation. it's going to generate a lot of attention in those districts and maybe get those voters out but the backlash, the big risk is where i think the majority is going to be won or lost is these more affluent suburbs. odd of philadelphia, denver, you know, areas like that, outside of chicago. those are areas where college educated women don't respond to these attacks. >> no, we don't. >> in the same way that maybe men and some of the excerpts do. so that used to be a solid block of republican voters in past elections and helped us win the majority and now, potentially is one of the reasons you could lose it. >> yeah. >> it all depends where these arguments break through. >> maria, how do you think democrats combat this? do they chase down every tangent or stick to a message like health care? >> right now, the way that they are doing this, which i think is very smart, sticking to the message ha

that will give us an idea of how the night is going, the first one is a moderate guy, not really a trumpy went for mitt romney in 2012 and flipped to hillary clinton in 2016. right now this is indicative of what we are seeing overall and that's that the democrat we think will defeat lance by three points. there are other districts that don't fit this mold very well. and one is maine's second district, and it's not a suburban district at all where donald trump won it, and golden is beating the republican by two points, and they are doing fairly well that were traditionally democratic but flipped to trump in 2016. this is in the suburbs of dallas and it's a district that has been very republican and yet hillary clinton did fairly well here, and we think pete sessions is going to lose this race to colin allred, and that would probably boost this by a little bit. overall we think the democrats are going to do what they need to do in a lot of swing districts. >> the three districts you point out, if they do go the democrat's way, and we have a long way the to go, then you are talking about 35

so to make the argument that this was all house leadership's fault because they weren't trumpy enough think could not be a bigger miscalculation of what the results said. >> julie: i want your take, first of all, amos, on the decision for jim jordan not to get this position. he is a staunch ally of the president. he makes his opinions known. he is the type of person the president wants to have his back. he was very much involved in the ben ghazi investigation an believing that is why he would be great at defending the president when it comes to the current numerous investigations that are being conducted by not just mueller, but now the democrats that are going to be taking office in january. do you think a mistake was made here or do you think the pick was the right one? >> i think if you look at this vote and you look at the final vote tally and how many votes mccarthy won by, it tells us all that kevin mccarthy won this because he has earned the respect and trust of his colleagues in the house. let's remember, kevin mccarthy has been in the minority before. so now your leadership t

do you think rick scott would have been better off if he hasn't been so trumpy? >> i think we're at a time in our country's politics where most americans and for sure it's a silent majority, they want people in washington who are independent minded. who are going to be willing to compromise to this new democratic majority that's coming to the house. my message to them is sure, opposition is important but what's even more important is a willingness to compromise, to reach across the aisle. w winning election s not an ends. it's a means to get a policy passed. the way our government is designs is it requires compromise. that's what the american people need solutions for infrastructure and immigration. that's the big challenge. >> congressman, do you think that donald trump should extend an olive branch as so many presidents have been encouraged to do. he should meet with them and try to figure out where they can avoid an adversarial footing and coopera cooperate. he hasn't been reeaching out. he was trash talking you as a fellow party member and out here trash talk

she sounds much more trumpy.of a much bigger national problem for the republican party, your normal swing voter in virginia or a lot of swing states across the country, in the upper midwest, key for 2020. you look at that and think that's kind of the republican party that's wishing that we could go back to the good old days. >> to somehow say that mississippi state candidate is not representative -- if we nominate people that fit the area we're running in -- >> republicans lost this year in pennsylvania precisely because the national image of the party overwhelmed fairly reasonable local candidates. that makes my point, i think. >> we have a lot more to talk about. we have to take a break. up next, we'll talk about 2020, the campaign is already under way and challengers on both sides. >>> i want great climate. is there climate change? yeah. will it go back like this? will it change back? probably. that's what i think. i'm not denying climate change, but it could very well go back. scientists also have a political

it's much more nationalist and trumpy. there's lot of my readers unhappy with me. i'm aware of that. it's a bit of struggle when i sit down to write to say to myself, there's a little bit of writer's block that can creep in if you think my audience won't like this maybe i shouldn't say it. i have to give myself a pep talk. you know what, they may not like it. your job is to give them your best judgment and not what they want to hear. that's what i try to do. it definitely has changed the world for me. olivier: stay with you mona. i remember seeing you on television on some of these debate shows. one thing that, we're still having that debate but they're not on the same set. they're on separate networks. how has that -- you lived the on set experience. how has that changed? mona: it's interesting. i do think that abby, you wouldn't know this, for many years i was on the cnn chat show, it was called capital gain. it was actually little bit of an icebreaker. every week we had a different politician on. it was always alternating. republican and democrat back and forth

the senate is going to extend its majority by a bit but it also got better trumpy. jeff flake is out, you know. bob corker is out. the people trump fought for and won tight races in indiana and elsewhere feel like they owe a debt to trump. will mitch mcconnell right now in a pretty clear case as george conway laid out, that this is probably unconstitutional and definitely unseemly. will mitch mcconnell do anything? we'll see in the next week. >> okay. unseemly, unconstitutional, great. super. christine, unless republicans, unless the senate steps in and blocks this, he's not going to recuse himself. the fact they're saying ethics lawyers are looking at this. fantastic. >> and ethics lawyers are going to find out what the president wants thoem find out. >> or they'll find out something different, but doesn't mean he's going to listen to them. >> not all. there are two options. a court case brought by some organization immediately. or the senate standing up and acting like the united states senate which i have no hope of happening. and the case as i understand it is p

what strikes me is the true trumpy or trump-ite, they don't care what you say. they're with him. your experience? do trump voters are sticking no matter what happens like this knowledge of 15,000 jobs gone? >> well, it's partly true, but his base is eroding. i mean, it's pretty clear to me these workers, they heard trump promise in the campaign that he would bring jobs back from mexico. then they heard him say it again last year, examine then they heard him say it again this year. and then they see this plant cloiz close the same day 1500 were laid off, the second plant in lords down, the same day they announce they're making the chevy blazer plant in new mexico. they could have retooled that yungs town plant. i asked president trump this summer to intervene, talk to the ceo of lords -- of gm, and ask her to retool this plant instead of building the new plant in mexico. the president was silent. he didn't want to stand up to her. so, i think voters are pretty immaterial. i want work preserved. i want gm to put something else in there and redo another vehicle. i think more and mor

that's as trumpy as you can get. but picking up on what jeffrey said, this is as much about how the media and the people who follow politics cover these things. it continues to this day. we won't be talking about this a couple days from now, i guarantee that, because trump will throw something else out there and everyone will chase it and this was not a big story, but this was a decisive reason that hillary clinton did not get elected president and donald trump did. we are now almost two years into it and i don't know that we've learned anything about how to cover him and how to get to the real stuff and to stop looking at the fireworks that he sets off every day. >> i mean, just one last point about all of this trump family security concerns. as you point out there was this "politico" said that jared kushner also used private e-mail, ivanka used private e-mail, "the new york times" said that russia and china are listening in on trump's cellphone that he still uses that is not a government secured one. he also spille

and it looks for all intents and purpose that's ron desantis, the very trumpy republican, is -- or hasandrew gillum for the governor race. we're kind of bucking the trend. now, that having been said, there was a net pickup of two seats here for democrats in congress, in south florida of florida's 26th and 27th congressional district. so my lens in florida has been okay, we haven't seen this blue wave that we're seeing national ly and indeed we didn't see it on election day. there's an open question of whether the rest of the nation is moving more blue and we're moving more red. >> so florida speaking, strictly about florida. as i said in the introduction to you, florida's going to be key for 2020. how optimistic or pessimistic should we be about these problems being fixed by then? >> well, it's probably always a good idea to think that there's going to be close elections in florida. if you flip a coin, it can land on its edge. we had that happen three times in a row here with three different statewide races where again, it was within the margin of error. it's also a pretty good bet tha

and as one of our producers put it, it is very trumpy, erratic, very and very doubtful of everyone elsee course. >> yeah. >> yeah, he's doing a series of these oval office interviews. the ap had one a few weeks ago too. he's very unhappy with the federal reserve chairman, jay powell. he suggests that that is the problem with the economy. he has this tremendous quote, they're making a mistake because i have a gut and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me, which is pretty good. he also -- >> wait, can we read another quote? talking about global warming. that was about the fed chair, saying that the problem is with the fed chair, not him. then he says about global warming, one of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence, but we're not necessarily such believers. you look at our air, our water, and it's right now at a record clean. this sentence doesn't even -- it's not gra matcally correct -- >> he understood this issue better because his uncle was a scientist. that's like saying, i should take out wisdom te

you think they weren't trumpy enough? >> here's what i think.ublicans had a historic number of retirements. 43 retirements. and many of those in seats that candidly hillary clinton carried two years ago. eight seats specifically that she carried that republicans won, and then those republicans had retirements. where they were on the defense. so on a whole, yes, the democrats took over the house. but do i think that this is a definitive that donald trump cannot get re-elected? of course not. because the historical precedent tells us -- >> i didn't say he couldn't get re-elected, i said they lost by a historic margin and the spin about the senate doesn't say that. i read your book. you interview president trump. you ask him point blank, what's your greatest accomplishment? he says, as president thus far, the economy. >> yes. >> a lot of that as you know is inherited. but he's a steward. he did run, though, on lowering the deficit and debt. take a look. >> we're going to create a dynamic economy again. we're going to bring the jobs back from china,

it's so trumpy, it's ridiculous. >> when you're dealing with someone who only cares about themselves and the senate being the one that would have to convict him, he's first and foremost going to be about that. but it suggests he doesn't think he's innocent of what he may be impeached for. it suggests he doesn't -- >> he knows he's not innocent. it's even worse than think. >> but what gives credibility to michael cohen, who has been in several meetings where donald trump and i went toe-to-toe is that it is consistent with his behavior. let's not act like when he talks about black people in chicago, that he wouldn't give contracts to blacks. let's not talk about when he doesn't have kwame win on "the apprentice." kwame didn't win. he is the guy that his first political statement was the central park 5 were guilty of being rapists and even when dna proved they weren't, he said they're still guilty. he became a political figure on birtherism that the president was not one of us. so whether you want to make cohen credible or not, it's consistent with his behavior. and i don't think it's d

this goes the way -- the way it looks pre-election, the remaining house republicans are going to be trumpy they're going to be the freedom caucus, it isn't going to be the moderates. >> right, if the republicans get swept out of the house, the people that will lose their seats are the moderates and people that deal with the center and the freedom caucus will expand its share of the caucus. they will have more clout. the idea the republicans will move to the center if they lose the house is completely wrong. >> no, the president will be more aligned with the republicans who are left, and i think he will love having a democratic house to tell you the truth. i understand the suffering part, but, boy, he's going to try to use them as a foil to set things up for 2020. i do think it. >> and tax returns is probably something he's not looking forward to if that happens. anyway, jen, peggy, we have to go to break. i will open up the box. steve kornacki's going to bring christmas here in a second. we're just getting started with the special election night edition of "mpt daily." just remember the fi

reconvenes in the house, assuming democrats have taken over, or not, either way, that will be a more trumpy republican caucus in the house of representatives. the critics will have been picked off quite a bit. >> yeah. what do they have in common? they're moderate republicans going down to defeat because they're associated presumably with the president of the united states. dana, you've got some projections in the senate. >> that's right, wolf. three projections. let's start with nebraska. cnn can project that deb fischer, the republican senator, will go on for another term to serve the people of nebraska. now let's go on to wyoming. cnn can project that john barrasso, the incumbent republican will also go on for another term. also in mississippi, roger wicker again will get another term in mississippi. these were not contested seats but still very important to keep in the republican column. let's look at what all this means for the balance of power. right now, 38 democrats. 48 republicans. they so far have had one pickup on the gop side. 14 seats remain to be called in the u.s. senate. jak

and now we're going to have more trumpy people within the republican caucus.ion is, where does the party go from here? donald trump, i actually think in reading the transcript, he was trying to crack a joke. and yes, he is a serial liar. and maybe he's talking about honey bunches of oats and dirty tricks. but i think that him saying this and even making the joke is irresponsible. he's undermining confidence in the institution. >> okay, mark, maybe evan has a good point. for those out there who say, the media latches on to any shiny toy, we take things out of context, the president was making a joke about something that a lot of people feel. a lot of people feel that maybe there should be voter i.d. are -- is there some validity to what evan is saying here? >> validity in terms of making a joke? >> in terms of, maybe the president was making a joke? >> no. he's the president of the united states, so even if he means to make a joke, his words are taken seriously. >> be better. >> no, you got it wrong, be best. >> there you go. >> and really, it's unfortunate tha

you get the house republican minority, in an odd way, will be more trumpy, than the house republicanority, because they're losing the moderates. >> yeah. the democrats are making some inroads among the governors. let's go back to the house right now. they have more than 218. >> they do. >> will they have 230 or 240? >> here's the uncalled races that are potential pickups. they're uncalled and if they switch, would be switching parties. two republicans leading in districts held by democrats. this one would be interesting. there's surprises in midterms. but the democrats are winning big in the senate race. the former secretary of state in california losing at the moment. only 23% of the vote in. we have to wait and see as the vote comes in. that would be a stunner, given what's happening in the state-wide races in california. let's look. you're looking down here. one of the interesting things is, i watch this, 56 votes. i checked in on this a little while ago. this would be a democratic pickup, hill against knight, neck and neck, big target of opportunity. the interesting part down her

they're going to give the trumpy bear to their kids. was a historical week here in washington, d.c. you had the freshmen, the amazing freshmen women of congress walking the halls of congress, changing the halls of congress and really making a statement that it's not going to be business as usual and i'm talking about aya in a presley, the first african-american woman coming out of massachusetts, and ilhan omar. they were blowing up instagram and social media with their videos and their photos. it's just so incredibly important because not only is it historical what we're seeing in the diversity, it's also going to be really great lamb port for legislation. we need diverse women at the table when we're talking about policy and legislation whether it's gun reform, criminal justice reform, or an economy that works for everyone. that's what makes it just incredible to have watched them going through orientation and their videos they were putting up. i cannot wait for january 3rd when it's official. >> squad goals won the week. those picture

difference right wing merchandise comes from a place of humor to use one example vote for trump trumpyanger and emotion f trump. kathy griffin has a whole line of products. two words one starts with f and the other starts with trump. it comes from anger and raw he auto motion. they can't beat him at the ballot box. so they buy this stuff to express their anger and show their virtue. this is fundamentally hypocritical. the left tells us all the time they rail against wealth and spend $308 on i miss barack sweater. tell us about the global environment. cheap plastic by the metric ton all of it going to end up in the pacific ocean. then they tell us trump has to be civil. what do they do? put four letter words that begin with f on all of their merchandise. it's a hilarious irony and they just keep buying it. >> ainsley: you said republican does this as well. difference is republicans have humor with it. >> we have more humor. by the left. the left is being defrauded. they have the pecan resist ice cream from ben and jerry's say they are going to don't night left wing causes. ben and jerry

with donnelly in particular, he was very trumpy.ee so many people, and i would put category, as well. the part of the party that doesn't want to become the party of bernie sanders and the party of socialism. >> or the democratic party is big enough to hold people that are mod ralerate and truly progressive, where the republican party can't really accept moderates anymore. >> well, mike braun just won. >> six years ago, when joe donnelly won, he won against one of the most flawed candidates ever saw in murdoch, who was talking about rape and doing outlandish things. so, joe donnelly knew he was behind, all the way for his six years, and this is an impossible state for him to win with a candidate who is not flawed and braun's not flawed. >> this is the vice president of the united states. the election abopparatus favore the republicans. i believe joe donnelly ran the best possible campaign to stay competitive. >> big win for mike pence there. >> it is a big win. we have another change in the house. this is coming from the state of flo
