of the bulwark. bill happens to be teaching this semester at davidson university in north carolina.or those students. also lucky for us to bring in bill to talk about this from north carolina. so bill, i heard it said tonight on cable television that a 51-49 win for the republicans in this district will send such worrisome signals about the suburban vote to sitting members of congress that we're going to see another round of retirements. do you concur or should it not be viewed that harshly? >> it's possible. if you represent a district like -- davidson's just outside the district. but i've been there a day or two a week. i've seen the race fairly up close. i think steve's analysis is exactly right. the suburban swing wasn't quite big enough to offset the rural swing the other way. there was also some underperformance among minority voters for the democrat in the district. but at the end of the day the big picture, the forest as opposed to the trees, an 11 or 12-point margin for romney and for trump goes to a two-point margin for the trump-like candidate, the trump for whom trump ca

university, wssu, in north carolina's fifth district on its recent ranking by money magazine as the nation's best public historically black university for value. the publication considered 26 different measures of value, including affordability, education quality and graduates' record of landing well-paying jobs. many institutions do not make timely completion of college a priority. leading to increased debt for the six out of 10 students who take more than six years to graduate. wssu is a bright spot in our nation's university system, though, with the average student graduating in under five years and alumni earning an average $46,200 annually within three years of graduation. chancellor ellewood robinson, wssu administrators and faculty should be very proud to lead our nation's historically black universities and colleges in value and i applaud the school's dedication to honoring the financial sacrifices made to pursue postsecondary egscade -- postsecondary education. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas -- the gentlewoman, i'm sorry, the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? ms. jackson lee: ask to addres

north carolina. that may explain the vaping move there's. this is an eight out of ten issue. universald checks in the republican party will that lead the way for this president to do something? >> the president cares about public opinion. he wants to be popular and well-liked. it's viewed as a slippery slope in the republican party. they give a little ground and all guns will be confiscated around the country. that's one of the things that's holding this issue back. guff gun violence, 51%, important to their vote. let's look at the field of democrats tonight. you have the two liberal front-runners on the same stage with joe biden. who is the target here? is warren the target? >> i don't know if there's a single target. it will be fun to have everyone on one stage. it will be a crowded stage. each candidate is making a slightly different calculation. for someone like elizabeth warren or bernie sanders, they're still looking at joe biden. for those in the second and third tier, they may not be jumping up to the first tier, but how do i climb and get above. may not try to punch up sto the

of guns used in crimes in new york city come from new jersey, do you know why? new jersey has universal background checks. and they're coming up from georgia and north carolina and places where you can go to a gun show and get a truckload of guns without ever having to go through a background check. background checks work. they're the most impactful public policy measure. since the background check law was passed in the mid '90s, over 3.5 million sales have been blocked to violent criminals and other prohibited individuals and that is just the tip of the iceberg because those are the people that actually had the gall to set foot in the gun store knowing that they had an offense in their history that would prevent them from buying a gun. these are the people that went into the gun store and tried to buy a gun and got denied. there are billions and millions of more people that wanted guns, but couldn't get them and didn't go into the gun store in the first place. the problem is today getting that denial from the gun store is not really a barrier to buying a gun. because 20, 30% of gun sales now happen without a background check. they happen in a private sale b
