>> Lisa: WELCOME BACK,
PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING
FUND-RAISING HISTORY AND
ALARMING DEMOCRATS.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE RNC
RAISING $300 MILLION FOR THE
REELECTION CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR.
MORE THAN ANY OTHER SITTING
PRESIDENT IN HISTORY AT THIS
POINT OF THE CAMPAIGN.
WITH DEMOCRATS FOR FIVE MONTHS
AWAY FROM SETTLING ON A NOMINEE.
ONE PARTY STRATEGIST TELLING
POLITICO THE RESOURCES HE HAS
WILL BE PUT TO WORK ANYWHERE AND
EVERYWHERE THAT HE FEELS LIKE HE
COULDN'T SCARE UP ELECTORAL
VOTES.
DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER CATCH UP.
IT'S TOO MUCH MONEY.
THAT IS REAL TROUBLE, I'M NOT
HERE TO CURSE THE DARK, BUT IT
IS DARK.
SO WHAT STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES
DOES THIS HAVE?
>> Bret: THEY MIGHT HAVE NOT
PLAYED IN BEFORE.
YOU SEE A FOCUS ON MINNESOTA, A
STATE WHERE REPUBLICANS BELIEVE
THEY CAN TURN IT BACK READ.
IT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
CAMPAIGN THEN IT WAS IN 2016
BECAUSE IT IS FLUSH WITH CASH.
I TALK ABOUT THE DOUBLE-EDGED
SWORD OF IMPEACHMENT, ONE OF THE
NEGATIVE THINGS IS THAT IT HAS
FLOODED MONEY INTO THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN JUST BY THESE EMAILS
THAT SAY, HE IS GETTING
IMPEACHED, WE NEED TO STEP UP
AND SUPPORT.
>> Melissa: THIS IS DOUBLE THE
MONEY THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA AND
THE DNC HAD WHEN HE WAS GOING
FOR REELECTION.
IF YOU WANT TO COMPARE IT TO
RECENT DOLLARS, THINK ABOUT THAT
BEING DOUBLE AND THERE IS MORE
SMALLER DONORS AMONG THE GROUP,
SO MORE ABILITY TO KEEP RAISING,
WOW.
>> Lisa: IS THERE A LEVEL OF
ENTHUSIASM THAT PEOPLE ARE
MISSING?
YOU SEE THE CASH INFLUX TO THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN, ARE PEOPLE
MISSING ENTHUSIASM?
>> Harris: YOU MEAN ON THE
DEMOCRAT SIDE?
>> Lisa: YES, THE MEDIA AS
WELL.
>> Harris: PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS
SMART WHEN HE WAS THEN CANDIDATE
DONALD J. TRUMP, PEOPLE CAN
COMMISERATE WITH YOU ON THE
MEDIA AND SOME OF THE REPORTS
FAKE NEWS, HE HAS FOUND THIS WAY
OF AGREEMENT OF TURNING THAT
AGREEMENT OF ALL OF THE THINGS
THAT PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T LIKE
INTO A MARKETING TOOL.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING AGAINST THE
PROCESS OF YOU ELECTED ME, BUT
THEY WANT TO UNDO THAT, AS
DEMOCRATS, HOW DO YOU SELL THAT?
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SELL IT,
BUT THEY HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT,
BECAUSE IF THEY ARE PLANNING TO
MAKE IMPEACHMENT NOT JUST
INQUIRY, BUT FULL BLOWN
IMPEACHMENT LONGER INTO 2020,
THEY HAVE TO FIND A TOOL TO SELL
THAT.
>> Lisa: I THINK THEY ARE EVEN
SELLING STRAWS.
>> Harris: PAPER OR PLASTIC.
>> Lisa: BY BRINGING A
MINNESOTA, SO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
COMES WITH 1.5% AHEAD OF THE
MINNESOTA DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT
SAYS THEY CAN'T KEEP UP.
IS THAT A CONCERN?
DO YOU WORRY THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTTING LEAST
STATES IN PLAY WHEN THEY DO NOT
HAVE A NOMINEE.
>> Johanna: CAMPAIGNS ARE
ABOUT OXYGEN AND MONEY, THE
INCUMBENT ALWAYS HAS AN
ADVANTAGE.
SO YOU CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I WATCH THAT RALLY THE OTHER
NIGHT IN DALLAS, AND I SAW
22,000 PEOPLE THERE.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS AN
ENTHUSIASM.
I THINK THAT WE STILL HAVE NOT
EXPLAINED SOME OF THE HARD
ISSUES.
AND I THINK THAT IS TRUE OF
REPUBLICANS IN POSITIONS ON
TRADE FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE NOT
EXPLAINED SOME OF THE REASON WHY
THIS BENEFITS CENTRAL AMERICA.
AND SO SOME OF THE POLICIES HAVE
NOT BENEFITED PEOPLE IN
MINNESOTA.
SO THE QUESTION IS, ARE THE
