CAMERA THERE TO THEM IN THE CHAIR TELLING THEM WHAT FOR SAY
NEXT.
NEXT. IN FACT STREETSKT FACT IT IS WOR
JOINING ME IS JOY REID AND REV
REND
REND EREND SHARP TON.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE PASSIONS ON
THIS SUBJECT AND THEY ARE
APPROPRIATELY PLACED.
APPROPRIATELY PLACED. SO WHO IS GOING TO WIN AS THEY
SAY IN BASEBALL THE BOUNCE OF
THE BALL?
THE BALL? BECAUSE I THINK BOTH SIDES ARE
CLAIMING NEW ENERGY AS A RESULT
OF THIS WHOLE EPISODE.
>> TALKING WITH REPUBLICAN
STRATEGIST FRIENDS OF MINE, THEY
ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT THE FIGHT
OVER KAVANAUGH ENERGIZED THE
REPUBLICAN BASE PARTICULARLY
WHITE MEN AND COLLEGE EDUCATED
WHITE WOMEN.
WHITE WOMEN. NOT SURE THAT CAN LAST THE NEXT
30 DAYS.
30 DAYS. BUT THE NEXT 30 DAYS, THE ANGER,
THE RAGE, THE PURE UNADULTER
RATED ANNER OF NONREPUBLICAN
WOMEN I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT
CAN CARRY OVER.
AND MITCH McCONNELL SAID WE KNOW
THE RECENT WEEKS HAVE FANNED THE
FLAMES OF PARTISAN DISCORDS.
MY GOD, WHO HAS DONE THAT MORE
THAN MITCH McCONNELL?
MITCH McCONNELL BROKE THE SENATE
AND URGED PEOPLE TO COME BACK
FROM THE DARK N.
HE
HE HE BROUGHT THE DARKNESS.
HE DECIDED THAT THE SENATE IS
THE PLACE WHERE REPUBLICANS HAVE
ABSOLUTE POWER.
ABSOLUTE POWER. WHERE THEY RULE OVER WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR.
ON BEHALF OF DONALD TRUMP AND
MITCH McCONNELL’S OWN AIMS.
THIS MAN BROUGHT THE DARKNESS.
HE SUCCEEDED IN BRINGING THE
DARKNESS AND NOW HE CLAIMS HE IS
PUTTING THE MAN OF THE HIGHEST
CHARACTER ON THE COURT.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS
DISAGREE WITH THAT.
THEY FEEL THAT KAVANAUGH HAS
BEEN IMPOSED, FORCED ON THE
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BY A
MINORITY WHO WANTS TO RULE FROM
THE PAST.
THE PAST. MITCH McCONNELL WANTS TO RULE
FROM DECADES AGO.
BUT HE IS IMPOSING ORDER AS YOU
SEES IT ON THE MAJORITY OF
AMERICANS.
AMERICANS. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE
OUTRAGE OVER THAT WILL LAST
LONGER THAN THE SUGAR HIGH OF
HAVING GOTTEN THEIR MAN.
>> AND AS WE KNOW IN THE
CONSTITUTION, THE SENATE IS NOT
BASICALLY ELECTED BASED ON
MAJORITY RULE BY THE COUNTRY.
CERTAINLY NOT POPULAR RULE.
STATES LIKE MONTANA, NORTH
DAKOTA, THEY CAN COLLECT A VERY
CONSERVATIVE SENATOR FOREVER AND
NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE
NATIONAL PASSIONS AT ALL.
>> AND I THINK THAT SPEAKING OF
THE SO-CALLED KAVANAUGH BUMP
THAT STRATEGISTS I’VE BEEN
SPEAKING WITH ARE EXCITED ABOUT,
WHERE YOU ARE REALLY GOING TO
SEE IMPACT ARE IN THESE RED
STATES WHERE YOU HAVE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES WHO WERE IN TIGHT
RACES WITH REPUBLICANS,
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE
OF TENNESSEE AND HOW FORMER
GOVERNOR’S NUMBERS HAVE SUFFERED
SINCE THE START OF THIS
CONFIRMATION PROCESS.
CONFIRMATION PROCESS. SO IN THE SUBURBAN DISTRICTS
THAT ARE -- THE HOUSE RACES THAT
ARE UNDER TOUGH CONTESTS, YOU
MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY SEE ANY
MOVEMENT, BUT I’M LOOKING AT
SENATE RACES AND HOW THAT
BALANCE OF POWER IS GOING TO
PROBABLY BE SOLIDIFIED AGAIN BY
REPUBLICANS.
REPUBLICANS. >> AND WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN
NOW THAT -- OR HAS A BETTER
CHANCE OF WIN POSITION NOW THAN
THEY HAD SAY TWO WEEKS AGO?
>> I THINK CLAIRE McCASKILL HAS
A TOUGH RACE.
I THINK MARSHA BLACKBURN, THIS
IS A GOD SEND FOR HER.
THIS PLAYS VERY DIFFERENTLY IN
TENNESSEE THAN IT DOES IN COAST
COASTAL AMERICA.
COASTAL AMERICA. BUT SPEAKING OF FLORIDA, I THINK
THAT BILL NELSON ACTUALLY HIS
CHANCES ARE A LITTLE BIT
STRENGTHENED THERE AND YOU ARE
THINKING OF HOW THAT RACE HAS
TURNED A BIRTHT SINCE THE
PRIMARIESPRIMARIES
PRIMARIESPRIMARIES AND THE GOVERNOR’S RACE.
>> I ACCEPT THAT.
I THINK THAT YOU HAVE SOME SMART
-- I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.
NELSON HAS AMAZING LIFE IN HIM
COMING BACK THERE.
I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT BLACKBURN
WAS A VOERNG CANDIDATE.
I DON’T THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY
THRILLED ABOUT BRINGING BACK
SOMEBODY FROM THE PAST IN
POLITICS.
POLITICS. I THINK GENERALLY SPEAKING THE
IDEA OF SOMEBODY IN THEIR LATER
70s WHO WAS OUT OF THE BUSINESS
FOR A WHILE.
BOB KERRY TRIED TO COME BACK.
I DON’T THINK PEOPLE WANT TO
BRING PEOPLE BACK.
>> I ACTUALLY -- I WOULD HAVE
AGREED WITH YOU PRIOR TO --
>> I THOUGHT I WAS AGREEING WITH
YOU.
YOU. SORRY.
SORRY. >> I WAS SHOCKED THAT IT WAS THE
FIRST TIME THAT WE’VE HAD FOCUS
GROUPS WHERE STRONG TRUMP
SUPPORTERS WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY
TRYING TO JUSTIFY VOTING FOR
PHIL IN TENNESSEE.
AND AS OF LOWERING TAXES AND
GETTING HEALTH CARE UNDER
CONTROL.
CONTROL. >> BEING GOVERNOR IS AN
