QuickBooks. Backing You.
HEATHER: WELCOME BACK, PRESIDENT
TRUMP HEADING CAMPAIGN TRAIL
AHEAD OF TOMORROW'S HEATED
PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION WHERE HE
ANNOUNCES A NEW RALLY CRY FOR
2020.
>> OUR NEW SLOGAN WHEN WE START
RUNNING, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT TWO
YEARS FROM NOW IS GOING TO BE
KEEP AMERICA, EXCLAMATION POINT.
KEEP AMERICA GREAT.
HEATHER: WELL THE PRESIDENT
GEARING UP TO TAKE THAT MESSAGE
ON AN ALL OUT MIDTERM BLITZ AND
WOULD THIS BE THE MOMENTUM TO
KEY RACES.
KRISTIN LIBERAL ANALYST AND
KATHY, THANK YOU BOTH FOR
JOINING US.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US.
HEATHER: HISTORY SHOWS THAT THE
PARTY IN POWER LOSES SEATS
DURING MIDTERM, DO YOU THINK IT
WILL HAPPEN AROUND KRISTIN?
>> IT MIGHT.
TRUMP IS IN HIS ELEMENT AND AT
HIS BEST CAMPAIGNING SO
DEFINITELY GIVE THE GOP AT LEAST
SOME MOMENTUM AT THIS POINT.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS TRUMP'S
PARTY.
HE'S THE HEART AND THE SOUL OF
THE PARTY AND THE PEOPLE LOVE
HIM, HE HAS 85% APPROVAL RATING
AMONG REPUBLICANS AND KEEP THE
RIGHT MOBILIZED.
WHICH SIDE CAN GET MOST VOTERS
TO THE POLLS.
WHAT YOU THINK, KATHY?
>> I THINK IT'LL BE A DISASTER
IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR TRUMP.
THE GOP NEEDS TO PUSH BUT THE
PUSH WON'T COME FROM TRUMP.
I THINK HE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
IT IS TRUMP COUNTRY AS THEY SAY,
PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK THE RACE SO
CLOSE AND IT'S VERY CLOSE TO
DEMOCRATS ARE EXCITED AND THE
CANDIDATE IS SMART, HE'S WITTY,
HE'S SAYING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS
CLOSE AND IT IS, SO IF THIS IS A
DISASTER, 2020 -- HEATHER:
ANOTHER THING VOTERS TEND TO
VOTE WITH POCKETBOOKS AND WE CAN
TAKE A LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC
NUMBERS RIGHT NOW, IN JOBS
313,000 JOBS HAVE BEEN ADDED,
THE DOW IS UP, THE NASDAQ IS AT
RECORD HIGHS, ON THAT FRONT THAT
WOULD SEEM TO FAVOR REPUBLICANS
IN.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A LOT TO BRAG
ABOUT BUT THE DEMOCRAT CONNOR
LAMB CAN RALLY AND MODERATE WHO
DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM EXTREME
LEADERSHIP OF PARTY, HE'S EVEN
CALLED FOR NANCY PELOSI TO STEP
DOWN F HE WINS THE SPECIAL
ELECTION, IT WON'T BE A GOOD
SIGN FOR REPUBLICANS BUT ALSO
WON'T BE A GOOD SIGN FOR NANCY
PELOSI BECAUSE SIGNALS TO OTHER
DEMOCRATS THAT HER LEADERSHIP IS
TOXIC AND BEING ASSOCIATED WITH
HER COULD HURT MORE THAN HELP.
HEATHER: INDICATION OF WHAT
DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO.
>> HE DEFINITELY -- LAMB DOES
KNOW THE AREA AND KNOW WHAT IS
RESINATES AND BRINGS IN BIDEN
AND THEY NEED THAT KIND OF GUY
AND THE VOTERS AREN'T EXACTLY
AGREEING WITH TRUMP ON THE
MESSAGE, LOOK, THIS IS NOT
WORKING FOR OUR ECONOMY, SO I
THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S WORKING SO
WELL, HE'S FOCUSING ON HIS AREA,
NOT THE OVERALL TRUMP MESSAGE.
HEATHER: IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS
THAT MAYBE HAVE DISAGREEMENTS
WITH THE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT
TRUMP AND HIS FANS, ALSO SENATOR
JEFF FLAKE, HE'S TALKING ABOUT
SOMEBODY RUNNING AGAINST
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN 2020, LISTEN
TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
>> DO YOU THINK HE NEEDS TO BE
CHALLENGED?
>> YES.
>> FROM SOMEBODY THAT SPOUSES
YOUR VIEWS?
>> YES, I DO.
>> OKAY.
>> IT WOULD BE A TOUGH GO IN THE
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS -- IS THE
TRUMP PARTY RIGHT NOW, BUT
THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT WILL STAY
THAT WAY.
HEATHER: NOT THAT JEFF FLAKE
PARTY, THOUGH, CATHY.
>> I DON'T KNOW, I THINK HE'S
SAYING THAT GUY IS ME, I THINK
FLAKE IS GETTING READY TO SAY
I'M GOING TO BE THE CHALLENGER,
HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE.
TRUMP, THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS AND
EYE TO EYE.
I THINK THEY ARE READY FOR RUN
IN 2020.
HEATHER: WHAT DO YOU THINK,
KRISTIN, WOULD THAT BE A GOOD
IDEA?
>> IN 2016 TRUMP STUMPED OUT 16
CANDIDATES ALL WHO MEDIA TOLD US
HAD BETTER SHOT AT NOMINATION,
HE WON FROM LITTLE SUPPORT FROM
OWN PARTY BECAUSE THE VOTERS
SUPPORTED HIM, THEY DO TO THIS
DAY AND IF JEFF FLAKE TRY TO RUN
AGAINST TRUMP, THEY WILL END UP
DEFEATED AND HUMILIATED, TO JEFF
