RUHLE OK then I ░░░░░░░░ naive because Matthew so ░░░░░░░░ s say they shut ░░░░░░░░ all town halls so ░░░░░░░░ don t have to ░░░░░░░░ about their policies And ░░░░░░░░ s say the president ░░░░░░░░ with what he did ░░░░░░░░ firing the Commission of ░░░░░░░░ Bureau of Labor Statistics ░░░░░░░░ let s not show ░░░░░░░░ American people accurate economic ░░░░░░░░ Let s hide the ░░░░░░░░ Let s hide ourselves ░░░░░░░░ doesn t change the ░░░░░░░░ of Americans lives We ░░░░░░░░ how we re living ░░░░░░░░ know what our Medicare ░░░░░░░░ like We know what ░░░░░░░░ education is like You ░░░░░░░░ t hide from that ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I mean a ░░░░░░░░ of things on this ░░░░░░░░ I mean I think ░░░░░░░░ yes they re following ░░░░░░░░ bidding of Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ I actually think it ░░░░░░░░ worse than that I ░░░░░░░░ that takes responsibility too ░░░░░░░░ responsibility away from them ░░░░░░░░ if Donald Trump wasn ░░░░░░░░ there they would be ░░░░░░░░ the right thing I ░░░░░░░░ think these people want ░░░░░░░░ get rid of Medicaid ░░░░░░░░ wasn t like oh ░░░░░░░░ don t want to ░░░░░░░░ rid of Medicaid but ░░░░░░░░ m going to go ░░░░░░░░ and do what Donald ░░░░░░░░ wants They wanted to ░░░░░░░░ tax breaks to the ░░░░░░░░ That s what they ░░░░░░░░ even though Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ yes threatening them and ░░░░░░░░ them what to do ░░░░░░░░ it s also irresponsible ░░░░░░░░ on their own part ░░░░░░░░ supporting these policies and ░░░░░░░░ these things So I ░░░░░░░░ yeah we can blame ░░░░░░░░ Trump but individually these ░░░░░░░░ chose to do this ░░░░░░░░ chose to make the ░░░░░░░░ choices that have the ░░░░░░░░ that they do I ░░░░░░░░ I think what Republicans ░░░░░░░░ banking on are a ░░░░░░░░ of things in the ░░░░░░░░ of this First if ░░░░░░░░ re in a 30 ░░░░░░░░ Republican district you don ░░░░░░░░ worry about the unpopularity ░░░░░░░░ the policy and you ░░░░░░░░ t worry about what ░░░░░░░░ Trump s done and ░░░░░░░░ don t worry about ░░░░░░░░ because you re likely ░░░░░░░░ get reelected in a ░░░░░░░░ election in a 30 ░░░░░░░░ or a 25 percent ░░░░░░░░ district The problem is ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans is you ░░░░░░░░ not in my view ░░░░░░░░ re not safe anymore ░░░░░░░░ you re in a ░░░░░░░░ percent Republican district or ░░░░░░░░ a 15 percent Republican ░░░░░░░░ because we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ a number of special ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are over performing ░░░░░░░░ around 15 points which ░░░░░░░░ no one is safe ░░░░░░░░ a 15 percent or ░░░░░░░░ Republican district in the ░░░░░░░░ of this And so ░░░░░░░░ are they re going ░░░░░░░░ hide I agree with ░░░░░░░░ Reverend on this and ░░░░░░░░ agree with Sam on ░░░░░░░░ what he said They ░░░░░░░░ going to hide They ░░░░░░░░ going to hope they ░░░░░░░░ sort of do paid ░░░░░░░░ which is a total ░░░░░░░░ way communication next fall ░░░░░░░░ try to convince people ░░░░░░░░ things otherwise But the ░░░░░░░░ is and I have ░░░░░░░░ this before and I ░░░░░░░░ say it again when ░░░░░░░░ are supporting an unpopular ░░░░░░░░ and doing what an ░░░░░░░░ president is telling you ░░░░░░░░ to do in a ░░░░░░░░ election which is already ░░░░░░░░ for the incumbent party ░░░░░░░░ it s especially perilous ░░░░░░░░ an unpopular president on ░░░░░░░░ of an unpopular political ░░░░░░░░ and pushing an unpopular ░░░░░░░░ it s a perfect ░░░░░░░░ of losing your election ░░░░░░░░ so they may avoid ░░░░░░░░ halls and they may ░░░░░░░░ all of that but ░░░░░░░░ may call a town ░░░░░░░░ an anecdote And I ░░░░░░░░ not a supporter of ░░░░░░░░ what s going to ░░░░░░░░ by only anecdotes but ░░░░░░░░ anecdote follows all of ░░░░░░░░ polling data which is ░░░░░░░░ are upset independents are ░░░░░░░░ Democrats have an enthusiasm ░░░░░░░░ Republicans and that s ░░░░░░░░ problem for next fall ░░░░░░░░ So Rev elected Democrats ░░░░░░░░ now how should they ░░░░░░░░ this moment?”
