Rahm Emanuel

You're seeing that with Republican votes all over the place.

You have to win independence two to one to win the House.

They are uncomfortable with Donald Trump.

And they're uncomfortable that nobody's, from the Roberts court to the press and media to the Republicans in Congress are putting a checkmate on him.

Look, nearly 50% of the electorate identifies as independent.

In every house, every U.S.

Senate where you have a chance of building a majority and also which is lost, if I may say this, Steve, what's also happening in the state races, school, this election, there shouldn't be a school board seat all the way up to the governor in the seven most important swing states empty.

It should always have a D next to it.

But make this a referendum on what the Republicans have been enabling Donald Trump to do because he is going to drive this election.

He's driving down turnout among Republicans and driving turnout among Republicans.

Win the hearts and minds of the unaffiliated and you got yourself a majority.

Focus on independent voters.

So let's go over the real estate.

Not everybody's a weirdo like me.

You have a governor's race, a Senate race, four congressional races, not counting also the Capitol.

You won five months ago in an area Donald Trump won a state Senate seat that he won by 22%.

It flipped to the Democrats.

It was the canary in the coal mine.

This thing is coming.

And there is a potential for a wave.
