Dan Geltrude: Talking About Immigration and Trade Is Not a ‘Winning Formula’ for Trump

>> Okay Ashley Thank you ░░░░░░░░ president crows about the ░░░░░░░░ Lots of good news ░░░░░░░░ he minding the message ░░░░░░░░ the trade talk and ░░░░░░░░ government shut down threats ░░░░░░░░ s ask political commentator ░░░░░░░░ and Katherine and Dan ░░░░░░░░ to see you all ░░░░░░░░ lots of good economic ░░░░░░░░ to celebrate But you ░░░░░░░░ to get voters to ░░░░░░░░ polls There s some ░░░░░░░░ you know maybe if ░░░░░░░░ economy is doing phone ░░░░░░░░ ll be blase about ░░░░░░░░ Is he using trade ░░░░░░░░ immigration to get some ░░░░░░░░ going Trish I don ░░░░░░░░ think that that is ░░░░░░░░ winning formula there I ░░░░░░░░ the president should stay ░░░░░░░░ message related to the ░░░░░░░░ He needs to remind ░░░░░░░░ where we were Right ░░░░░░░░ people are getting used ░░░░░░░░ things are going great ░░░░░░░░ it possible We re ░░░░░░░░ tired of winning The ░░░░░░░░ has talked about that ░░░░░░░░ he has to remind ░░░░░░░░ it could be a ░░░░░░░░ scenario if it was ░░░░░░░░ for his policies of ░░░░░░░░ cuts and getting rid ░░░░░░░░ the regulations that have ░░░░░░░░ holding businesses back This ░░░░░░░░ help the And Republicans ░░░░░░░░ what is the political ░░░░░░░░ Should he be selling ░░░░░░░░ idea that you know ░░░░░░░░ you He did call ░░░░░░░░ boring issues last night ░░░░░░░░ s muddying the message ░░░░░░░░ a couple other friends ░░░░░░░░ saying collusion is not ░░░░░░░░ crime Obviously the press ░░░░░░░░ running with that Also ░░░░░░░░ this fight with the ░░░░░░░░ by calling the press ░░░░░░░░ enemy of the people ░░░░░░░░ that may do is ░░░░░░░░ some voters on the ░░░░░░░░ to come out and ░░░░░░░░ That is important in ░░░░░░░░ base election It s ░░░░░░░░ message of the madness ░░░░░░░░ of the rhetoric we ░░░░░░░░ last night is designed ░░░░░░░░ get people excited By ░░░░░░░░ even in a negative ░░░░░░░░ Erin Of course They ░░░░░░░░ like they need to ░░░░░░░░ this president from the ░░░░░░░░ media et cetera That ░░░░░░░░ exactly what they re ░░░░░░░░ It s pretty clear ░░░░░░░░ now that the base ░░░░░░░░ the left the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ further coming out to ░░░░░░░░ We re seeing that ░░░░░░░░ the polls You have ░░░░░░░░ democratic national campaign committee ░░░░░░░░ to expand the map ░░░░░░░░ have a number of ░░░░░░░░ reporting to bigger pickups ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats on the ░░░░░░░░ in November So the ░░░░░░░░ have to find some ░░░░░░░░ to gen up the ░░░░░░░░ and that s what ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump is doing ░░░░░░░░ what happens if this ░░░░░░░░ stuff gets ugly We ░░░░░░░░ China now saying they ░░░░░░░░ going to put more ░░░░░░░░ on us We ll ░░░░░░░░ have more on them ░░░░░░░░ goes on and on ░░░░░░░░ that catch up to ░░░░░░░░ U S economy by ░░░░░░░░ Certainly Trish if we ░░░░░░░░ into a massive trade ░░░░░░░░ that would be the ░░░░░░░░ I don t expect ░░░░░░░░ to be the case ░░░░░░░░ re seeing some clear ░░░░░░░░ that not being the ░░░░░░░░ likely scenario Specifically in ░░░░░░░░ A new president there ░░░░░░░░ s good moves toward ░░░░░░░░ of nafta I don ░░░░░░░░ think we ll enter ░░░░░░░░ a trade war At ░░░░░░░░ end of the day ░░░░░░░░ will negotiate for freer ░░░░░░░░ fairer trade That s ░░░░░░░░ M O I think ░░░░░░░░ wisdom does hold that ░░░░░░░░ the economy stupid montra ░░░░░░░░ the way toe go ░░░░░░░░ not in this case ░░░░░░░░ have predents showing that ░░░░░░░░ incumbent president will lose ░░░░░░░░ in Congress and the ░░░░░░░░ is at risk Maybe ░░░░░░░░ you use the fear ░░░░░░░░ and you say look ░░░░░░░░ you know all of ░░░░░░░░ benefit that you ve ░░░░░░░░ with a better economy ░░░░░░░░ go up in smoke ░░░░░░░░ the house changes hands ░░░░░░░░ that will resonate I ░░░░░░░░ not sure People get ░░░░░░░░ kind of comfortable Katherine ░░░░░░░░ re like all right ░░░░░░░░ are okay So unless ░░░░░░░░ re like emotionally excited ░░░░░░░░ something or emotionally attached ░░░░░░░░ an issue it s ░░░░░░░░ to get that base ░░░░░░░░ to the polls in ░░░░░░░░ like a mid term ░░░░░░░░ Yeah there s two ░░░░░░░░ that they need to ░░░░░░░░ One is absolutely look ░░░░░░░░ point out the left ░░░░░░░░ very far to the ░░░░░░░░ We have Gillibrand Warren ░░░░░░░░ of the 2020 contenders ░░░░░░░░ over themselves to move ░░░░░░░░ the left of the ░░░░░░░░ person That s the ░░░░░░░░ thing The base and ░░░░░░░░ American people I don ░░░░░░░░ think line up in ░░░░░░░░ of values on that ░░░░░░░░ The second thing is ░░░░░░░░ pointing to the economy ░░░░░░░░ don t think it ░░░░░░░░ only the economy that ░░░░░░░░ win it for the ░░░░░░░░ although unequivocally tax cuts ░░░░░░░░ generated improved consumer spending ░░░░░░░░ business investment which is ░░░░░░░░ tremendously well which those ░░░░░░░░ things combine more job ░░░░░░░░ So those two things ░░░░░░░░ the things that the ░░░░░░░░ needs to focus on ░░░░░░░░ like he s turning ░░░░░░░░ attention to immigration which ░░░░░░░░ him the election That ░░░░░░░░ an issue that resonates ░░░░░░░░ a lot of places ░░░░░░░░ to see you all ░░░░░░░░ you GOP voters in ░░░░░░░░ taking Billie to face ░░░░░░░░ against Karl Dean in ░░░░░░░░ race for governor Lee ░░░░░░░░ Diane black despite an ░░░░░░░░ by Vice President Pence ░░░░░░░░ president tweeting Lee has ░░░░░░░░ Total and enthuseastic endorsement ░░░░░░░░ Larry I ask that ░░░░░░░░ to you Are people ░░░░░░░░ Billie bill Lee not ░░░░░░░░ status quo are they ░░░░░░░░ favored in that environment ░░░░░░░░ our president was going ░░░░░░░░ that election Trish here ░░░░░░░░ the difference with the ░░░░░░░░ That is pre 2016 ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump won not ░░░░░░░░ having served a day ░░░░░░░░ public office or come ░░░░░░░░ the other route in ░░░░░░░░ history which is the ░░░░░░░░ Which you like or ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump he opened ░░░░░░░░ door to candidacies beyond ░░░░░░░░ traditional House members running ░░░░░░░░ the Senate Senators running ░░░░░░░░ president State legislators running ░░░░░░░░ the house Those are ░░░░░░░░ traditional routes to victory ░░░░░░░░ public office Now people ░░░░░░░░ willing to consider somebody ░░░░░░░░ like Mike Braun bill ░░░░░░░░ So it s not ░░░░░░░░ much What do you ░░░░░░░░ Career politicians are career ░░░░░░░░ It s nice to ░░░░░░░░ new blood Nice to ░░░░░░░░ someone who has does ░░░░░░░░ else in life and ░░░░░░░░ experienced the real world ░░░░░░░░ business Is this what ░░░░░░░░ voters I don t ░░░░░░░░ anything wrong with it ░░░░░░░░ all In fact for ░░░░░░░░ we ve said we ░░░░░░░░ problems getting good people ░░░░░░░░ run Indeed we have ░░░░░░░░ lot of these positions ░░░░░░░░ at the state legislative ░░░░░░░░ go unopposed which is ░░░░░░░░ for democracy It s ░░░░░░░░ good for the parties ░░░░░░░░ good for the system ░░░░░░░░ the people A lot ░░░░░░░░ these business folks have ░░░░░░░░ of their own How ░░░░░░░░ is that playing to ░░░░░░░░ Larry It helps obviously ░░░░░░░░ a big help if ░░░░░░░░ can if your fund ░░░░░░░░ is a luncheon with ░░░░░░░░ accountant There s something ░░░░░░░░ about that too Larry ░░░░░░░░ look at the political ░░░░░░░░ and all the money ░░░░░░░░ and the lobbyists et ░░░░░░░░ I hate the idea ░░░░░░░░ someone in Washington has ░░░░░░░░ vote because they re ░░░░░░░░ of on the hook ░░░░░░░░ some big company or ░░░░░░░░ promoter that they need ░░░░░░░░ their campaign This gets ░░░░░░░░ to the whole campaign ░░░░░░░░ reform that we really ░░░░░░░░ need because politicians are ░░░░░░░░ reliant on money Nice ░░░░░░░░ see a candidate with ░░░░░░░░ or her own Yes ░░░░░░░░ I agree with you ░░░░░░░░ that If you re ░░░░░░░░ to rely on that ░░░░░░░░ of self financing it ░░░░░░░░ limit the field It ░░░░░░░░ a nice alternative to ░░░░░░░░ lobbyists from K street ░░░░░░░░ big checks to politicians ░░░░░░░░ love this I only ░░░░░░░░ to the people I ░░░░░░░░ never be responsive to ░░░░░░░░ lobbyist or Y lobbyist ░░░░░░░░ just gave me 25 ░░░░░░░░ or 100 000 Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Come on You re ░░░░░░░░ to at least let ░░░░░░░░ in the door That ░░░░░░░░ the key It gives ░░░░░░░░ access even if it ░░░░░░░░ t buy a vote ░░░░░░░░ the house or Senate ░░░░░░░░ have a disrupter in ░░░░░░░░ Oval Office and now ░░░░░░░░ all over the country ░░░░░░░░ think we ll see ░░░░░░░░ of this We still ░░░░░░░░ a lot of primaries ░░░░░░░░ go We ll see ░░░░░░░░
