PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKING

FUND-RAISING HISTORY AND

ALARMING DEMOCRATS.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE RNC

RAISING $300 MILLION FOR THE

REELECTION CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR.

MORE THAN ANY OTHER SITTING

PRESIDENT IN HISTORY AT THIS

POINT OF THE CAMPAIGN.

WITH DEMOCRATS FOR FIVE MONTHS

AWAY FROM SETTLING ON A NOMINEE.

ONE PARTY STRATEGIST TELLING

POLITICO THE RESOURCES HE HAS

WILL BE PUT TO WORK ANYWHERE AND

EVERYWHERE THAT HE FEELS LIKE HE

COULDN'T SCARE UP ELECTORAL

VOTES.

DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER CATCH UP.

IT'S TOO MUCH MONEY.

THAT IS REAL TROUBLE, I'M NOT

HERE TO CURSE THE DARK, BUT IT

IS DARK.

SO WHAT STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES

DOES THIS HAVE?

>> Bret: THEY MIGHT HAVE NOT

PLAYED IN BEFORE.

YOU SEE A FOCUS ON MINNESOTA, A

STATE WHERE REPUBLICANS BELIEVE

THEY CAN TURN IT BACK READ.

IT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

CAMPAIGN THEN IT WAS IN 2016

BECAUSE IT IS FLUSH WITH CASH.

I TALK ABOUT THE DOUBLE-EDGED

SWORD OF IMPEACHMENT, ONE OF THE

NEGATIVE THINGS IS THAT IT HAS

FLOODED MONEY INTO THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN JUST BY THESE EMAILS

THAT SAY, HE IS GETTING

IMPEACHED, WE NEED TO STEP UP

AND SUPPORT.

>> Melissa: THIS IS DOUBLE THE

MONEY THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA AND

THE DNC HAD WHEN HE WAS GOING

FOR REELECTION.

IF YOU WANT TO COMPARE IT TO

RECENT DOLLARS, THINK ABOUT THAT

BEING DOUBLE AND THERE IS MORE

SMALLER DONORS AMONG THE GROUP,

SO MORE ABILITY TO KEEP RAISING,

WOW.

>> Lisa: IS THERE A LEVEL OF

ENTHUSIASM THAT PEOPLE ARE

MISSING?

YOU SEE THE CASH INFLUX TO THE

TRUMP CAMPAIGN, ARE PEOPLE

MISSING ENTHUSIASM?

>> Harris: YOU MEAN ON THE

DEMOCRAT SIDE?

>> Lisa: YES, THE MEDIA AS

WELL.

>> Harris: PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS

SMART WHEN HE WAS THEN CANDIDATE

DONALD J. TRUMP, PEOPLE CAN

COMMISERATE WITH YOU ON THE

MEDIA AND SOME OF THE REPORTS

FAKE NEWS, HE HAS FOUND THIS WAY

OF AGREEMENT OF TURNING THAT

AGREEMENT OF ALL OF THE THINGS

THAT PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T LIKE

INTO A MARKETING TOOL.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING AGAINST THE

PROCESS OF YOU ELECTED ME, BUT

THEY WANT TO UNDO THAT, AS

DEMOCRATS, HOW DO YOU SELL THAT?

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SELL IT,

BUT THEY HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT,

BECAUSE IF THEY ARE PLANNING TO

MAKE IMPEACHMENT NOT JUST

INQUIRY, BUT FULL BLOWN

IMPEACHMENT LONGER INTO 2020,

THEY HAVE TO FIND A TOOL TO SELL

THAT.

>> Lisa: I THINK THEY ARE EVEN

SELLING STRAWS.

>> Harris: PAPER OR PLASTIC.

>> Lisa: BY BRINGING A

MINNESOTA, SO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN

COMES WITH 1.5% AHEAD OF THE

MINNESOTA DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT

SAYS THEY CAN'T KEEP UP.

IS THAT A CONCERN?

DO YOU WORRY THAT

PRESIDENT TRUMP PUTTING LEAST

STATES IN PLAY WHEN THEY DO NOT

HAVE A NOMINEE.

>> Johanna: CAMPAIGNS ARE

ABOUT OXYGEN AND MONEY, THE

INCUMBENT ALWAYS HAS AN

ADVANTAGE.

SO YOU CANNOT UNDERESTIMATE

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I WATCH THAT RALLY THE OTHER

NIGHT IN DALLAS, AND I SAW

22,000 PEOPLE THERE.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS AN

ENTHUSIASM.

I THINK THAT WE STILL HAVE NOT

EXPLAINED SOME OF THE HARD

ISSUES.

AND I THINK THAT IS TRUE OF

REPUBLICANS IN POSITIONS ON

TRADE FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE NOT

EXPLAINED SOME OF THE REASON WHY

THIS BENEFITS CENTRAL AMERICA.

AND SO SOME OF THE POLICIES HAVE

NOT BENEFITED PEOPLE IN

MINNESOTA.

SO THE QUESTION IS, ARE THE
