  • >> START WITH DONALD TRUMP.

  • RESENTMENTS THAT POLITICIANS

  • HAVE BEEN FANNING FOR YEARS.

  • MELISSA: RESENTMENTS THEY HAVE

  • BEEN FANNING OR RESENTMENTS OF

  • THOSE POLITICIANS?

  • THAT IS MY QUESTION.

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLING

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP OUT BY NAME AND

  • DIVING INTO THE MIDTERMS IN THE

  • 2018 ELECTION, LOOKING TO HELP

  • DEMOCRATS REGAIN SOME OF THEIR

  • CIVIC FORUM PAC, ROBIN BIRO,

  • FORMER REGIONAL FIELD DIRECTOR

  • FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN JOIN US

  • NOW.

  • >> I THINK HE GAVE A EFFECTIVE

  • SPEECH TODAY.

  • WE NEEDED HIS VOICE.

  • TO BE HONEST I'M NOT SEEING A

  • WHOLE LOT OF LEADERSHIP FROM THE

  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

  • HE DID A GOOD JOB ATTACKING

  • POLLS STILL SHOW WE HAVE

  • TROUBLES AS DEMOCRATS HEADED TO

  • THE MIDTERMS WITH TRYING TO TURN

  • OUT THE YOUNG VOTE.

  • AND I WAS REALLY GLAD HE LAID

  • OUT SOME COHESIVE, COHERENT

  • ISSUES BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE

  • PARTY HAS 435 OFFICIAL

  • PLATFORMS.

  • MELISSA: YEAH.

  • >> YOU KNOW WHAT, ROBIN, HERE IS

  • THE THING.

  • YOU GUYS REALLY ONLY HAVE ONE

  • ISSUE.

  • THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.

  • TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, MELISSA,

  • ENTHUSIASM GAP.

  • LOOK AT LATEST "FOX NEWS POLL,"

  • 76% OF CLINTON VOTERS ARE

  • CERTAIN THEY WILL TURN OUT IN

  • NOVEMBER.

  • ONLY 67% OF TRUMP VOTERS ARE

  • CERTAIN THEY WILL TURN OUT.

  • THE NUMBER NEEDS TO BE CLOSER TO

  • EVEN BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES IF

  • THE REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK OR

  • HOLD THE HOUSE.

  • MELISSA: LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT

  • THE ARGUMENT HE WAS MAKING

  • AND BREAKING THE DEATH GRIP THE

  • RULING CLASS HAS PROTECTING ITS

  • POWER IN THIS COUNTRY AND

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA TALKING ABOUT

  • HIMSELF AS A STEP FORWARD AND

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP AS A STEP BACK,

  • A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP HEAR WHAT

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS SAYING

  • THINK, THE RULING CLASS THAT HAS

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA ARE THAT RULING

  • CLASS THAT HAS A DEATH GRIP AND

  • THE REVOLUTION WAS ABOUT PEOPLE

  • LIKE THEM.

  • ROBIN, I MEAN DO DEMOCRATS

  • REALIZE THAT HALF OF AMERICA

  • HEARS THAT TALK AND THINKS OF

  • CLASS WHO HAVE THE DEATH GRIP?

  • >> MELISSA, YES, YOU JUST NAILED

  • IT.

  • I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

  • THE SWAMP IS ON BOTH SIDES.

  • WE HAVE A SWAMP IN OUR, ON THE

  • SOMEONE REPLACE NANCY PELOSI AS

  • SPEAKER, FOR EXAMPLE.

  • I THINK SHE IS A MASTERFUL

  • DOING A WONDERFUL JOB OF USING

  • HER NAME VERY EFFECTIVELY TO

  • ATTACK DEMOCRATS AS BEING PELOSI

  • SIDE.

  • OBAMA RIGHTFULLY CALLED THE

  • DEMOCRATIC PARTY OUT ON SEVERAL

  • OF THOSE.

  • THINK?

  • >> YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SWEPT INTO

  • POWER PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE

  • OBAMA AGENDA, AND ESSENTIALLY HE

  • IS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

  • WILL REMIND A LOT OF REPUBLICANS

  • OF CONSEQUENCES GIVING DEMOCRATS

  • IN WASHINGTON BACK THE POWER,

  • THEREFORE WHAT IT IS LIKE UNDER

  • THE STATUS QUO.

  • SO THEREFORE I THINK THIS IS A

  • GREAT THING THAT HE IS OUT

  • THERE.

  • CALL DEMOCRATIC FRIENDLY

  • TERRITORY, CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK,

  • OHIO.

  • BECAUSE I KNOW THE REPUBLICAN

  • WILL WIN THAT SENATE RACE.

  • MELISSA: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

  • THAT, ROBIN?

  • >> TODAY WAS ACTUALLY A

  • REPUBLICAN STRONG HOLD, SPECIFIC

  • DISTRICT THAT HE WAS IN, AND

  • THEY LAID OUT A VERY CLEAR PLAN,

  • THAT HE DOES PLAN ON GOING TO

  • THOSE.

  • HE SAID HIMSELF IN THE SPEECH

  • TODAY WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR EVERY

  • SINGLE VOTE BECAUSE WHAT WE DID

  • IN 2016 OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK.

  • >> ROBIN, LET'S BE HONEST, HEIDI

  • HEITKAMP DOESN'T WANT PRESIDENT

  • OBAMA OUTSIDE OF FUND-RAISING IN

  • NORTH DAKOTA.

  • JOHN TESTER IS SAYING NOT COME

>> START WITH DONALD TRUMP.
