TODAY MARKS A SET OF SPECIAL ELECTIONS AND SO THERE IS
GEORGIA SIX THE DISTRICT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT
HERE AND TO M…TIS BUT THERE IS ALSO, AND MICHAEL BROUGHT
THIS UP A FEW SHOWS AGO, THE SOUTH CAROLINA FIFTH
DISTRICT WHICH IS MAKING NEWS FOR A FAIRLY UNIQUE REASON.
I HAD KNOWN THIS, BUT SOUTH CAROLINA'S FIFTH DISTRICT IS
ACTUALLY THE DISTRICT OF FRANK UNDER ONE OF HOUSE OF CARDS.
HE IS FROM GAFFNEY.
TURNS OUT HE IS FICTIONAL, BUT THAT IS THE DISTRICT
THAT HE ORIGINALLY REPRESENTED AND THAT DID NOT GO
UNNOTICED IN THE ACTUAL RACE IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.
LET'S SHOW A GRAPHIC.
YOU ARE GOING TO SEE HERE, THIS IS A VIDEO MADE BY THE
DEMOCRAT RUNNING IN THAT ELECTION USING THAT
POP-CULTURE CONNECTION TO TRY TO MAKE HIS POINT.
I'M ARCHIE PARNELL.
I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT OUR US TAX CODE TO BORE YOU TO TEARS.
I KNOW TRADE LAWS AND HOW TO CREATE JOBS, TOO.
AND I ALSO KNOW A FEW OTHER THINGS.
WE HAVE A SAYING IN WHERE I'M FROM, NEVER SLAP A MAN
CHEWING TOBACCO.
ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT.
SHAKE WITH THE RIGHT HAND, BUT HOLD A ROCK WITH YOUR LEFT.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FIRED THE FBI DIRECTOR.
THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, IT IS NOT ON THE SHOW.
WHENEVER YOU GET SOMEONE ON THE ROPES, YOU THROW A RIGHT TO
THE GUY AND A LEFT TO THE JOB.
DONALD TRUMP SHARED CLASSIFIED INFO WITH THE RUSSIANS
INSIDE THE OVAL OFFICE.
YEP, THAT'S A THING, TOO.
YOU SEE THIS WOMAN?
I LOVE HER MORE THAN SHARKS LOVE BLOOD.
ARCHIE?
EVEN ACHILLES WAS ONLY AS STRONG AS HIS HEEL.
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEEK.
COME TO BED, ARCHIE, IT'S ALMOST 9 PM.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CONGRESSMEN: DOORMATS AND
MATADORS.
I WILL BE A MATADOR FOR YOU.
HOW'D I DO?
SO THAT'S A DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE THAT
IS A PRETTY GREAT AD.
I AM SURE HOUSE OF CARDS IS HUGE IN THAT DISTRICT.
IT IS A BIG SHOW NATIONALLY.
IS POSSIBLE SOME PEOPLE WATCH IT.
THE REASON I PUT HER ON THE SHOW IS I JUST RECENTLY WATCH
THE MOST RECENT SEASON, AND IT WAS GREAT.
THAT WAS VERY APPEALING TO ME THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT HE
NECESSARILY SOLD THE CHARACTER QUITE AS WELL AS KEVIN
SPACEY, BUT LOOK WE WANT PEOPLE TO TRY TO HUMANIZE
THEMSELVES, THE JOKE WITH THE WIFE IS NICE.
IT SEEMS CRAZY, CRAZY THINGS HAPPEN IN POLITICS.
TRUMP ON THAT DISTRICT BY 17 POINTS.
WHO SEE WAS A?
MICK MULVANEY.
JOHN SPRATT HAD IT FOR FOREVER.
HE WAS A DEMOCRAT.
A HANDSHAKE WAS JOHN SPRATT STAYING.
HE SHOOK HER HAND.
WE'VE A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT.
THAT IS TRUE.
AGAIN, DEMOCRAT HAD HELD THE SEAT.
IT IS NOT INCONCEIVABLE.
IT'S SEEMS SO UNLIKELY IN THE CLIMATE WE LIVE IN NOW, BUT IF
REPUBLICANS ARE UNMOTIVATED AND DON'T TURN OUT, AND
CLEARLY, MY HUNCH IS IF HE CAMPAIGNED WELL AND MET
PEOPLE, THEY PROBABLY LIKE HIM.
I AM SURE THEY LIKE HIM.
I'M SURE HE WON'T WHEN.
TO PUT SOME NUMBERS TO IT, HILLARY CLINTON LOST SOUTH
CAROLINA BY NEARLY 19 POINTS IN 2016 AND THAT PARTICULAR
DISTRICT, THE FIFTH DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S 19 PERCENTAGE
POINTS MORE REPUBLICAN THAN THE NATION AS A WHOLE.
I THINK TRUMP B CLINTON BY 17 POINTS AT THE
THAT IS GOING TO BE ROUGH.
WHICH I DEFINE POLLING, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE IS
ANY OFFICIAL PULLING.
THERE WAS AN INTERNAL POLL
THAT SHOWED HIM DOWN BY 10.
IT IS AN INTERNAL POLL WHICH IS USUALLY SOMEWHAT MORE POSITIVE.
THAT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH.
I LOOKED INTO ARCHIE PARNELL.
ON HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE, HE HAS SOME NICE GENERIC
STATEMENTS ABOUT A LOT OF ISSUES.
PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS A LAWYER FOR GOLDMAN SACHS AND SOME
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE ISSUE FOR THAT.
THERE IS NO TONE OF SPECIFICS ON A LOT OF THE POLICIES.
HE IS COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF POLITICS, I GUESS WE WILL
GET TO THAT HE IS ABLE TO OVERCOME WHAT APPEARS TO BE
A NEARLY INSURMOUNTABLE REPUBLICAN LEADER NOT DISTRICT,
