Democrat Has Donald Trump Worried In Georgia Special Election | The Last Word

>>> BREAKING TWITTER NEWS TONIGHT.
MOMENTS AGO, TRUMP TWEETED WITH 11 CANDIDATES RUNNING IN
GEORGIA. VOTE FOR LOWER TAXES AND SAFETY.
THAT WAS HIS SECOND TWEET TODAY ABOUT TOMORROW'S ELECTION.
HE ALSO RECORDED THIS ROBOCALL THAT'S GOING OUT THERE.
>> HELLO, THIS IS IT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS ARE SPENDING MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TRYING TO TAKE YOUR REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL SEAT AWAY FROM
YOU. DON'T LET THEM DO IT.
TOMORROW THERE'S A SPECIAL ELECTION FOR CONGRESS IN
GEORGIA. ONLY YOU CAN STOP THE SUPER
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS AND NANCY PELOSI'S GROUP.
AND IN PARTICULAR JOHN OSSOFF. IF YOU DON'T VOTE TOMORROW, HE
WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES, DESTROY YOUR HEALTH CARE AND FLOOD OUR
COUNTRY WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. >> IF YOU DON'T VOTE TOMORROW,
JOHN OSSOFF WILL APPARENTLY BECOME KING OF THE UNITED STATES
AND HE ALONE WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES ACCORDING TO DONALD TRUMP,
DESTROY YOUR HEALTH CARE AND FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS. THERE ARE 193 DEMOCRATS IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THERE ARE 237 REPUBLICANS.
JOHN OSSOFF IS A 30-YEAR-OLD FIRST TIME CANDIDATE, HE RAISED
$8.3 MILLION AND LEADING IN THE POLES BY 28 POINTS.
GEORGIA'S SIXTH DISTRICT REPRESENTS NORTH ATLANTA.
THE SAME SEAT ONCE HELD BY NEWT
GINGRICH. DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE BEST
REPUBLICAN TO GET OUT THE VOTE IN THAT DISTRICT.
HE WON THE DISTRICT BY ONLY ONE VOTE IN THAT ELECTION IN
NOVEMBER. >> I APPRECIATE HIS INTEREST IN
THE RACE, I THINK HE'S MISINFORMED ABOUT MY VIEWS AND
PRIORITIES. I'M FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT IN METRO ATLANTA. FOCUSED ON HOW WE CAN CUT
WASTEFUL SPENDING, TO DEVELOP METRO ATLANTA INTO A SILICON
VALLEY OF THE SOUTH AND REACH OUR FULL ECONOMIC POTENTIAL.
>> THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE OSSOFF WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES.
MY NEXT GUEST EXPLAINS HOW HE HELPED JOHN OSSOFF RAISE 1
MILLION -- AT LEAST >>> REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE
LAST TIME PEOPLE STAYED AT HOME, WE GOT STUCK WITH TRUMP.
WE HAVE TO KHANNET THE GREAT VENGEANCE AND FURY WE HAVE FOR
THIS ADMINISTRATION INTO VOTES AT THE BALLOT BOX.
DO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY A FAVOR AND VOTE ON APRIL 18th AND
MAKE SURE TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
>> THAT WAS SAMUEL L. JACKSON DOING A COMMERCIAL FOR FREE.
URGING DEMOCRATS IN GEORGIA'S SIXTH DISTRICT TO GET OUT AND
VOTE IN TOMORROW'S SPECIAL ELECTION.
JOINING US NOW, THE POLITICAL DIRECTOR OF DAILY KOS, AND YOU
GUYS WERE THERE FROM THE START ON THIS CANDIDACY GETTING HIS
FUNDING SUPER CHARGED? YOU DELIVERED ABOUT A MILLION TO
THIS CAMPAIGN? >> THAT'S RIGHT, WE DID.
WE ENDORSED JOHN OSSOFF VERY EARLY ON, WE WERE IMPRESSED BY
THE FACT THAT CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS ENDORSED HIM.
WE RAISED OVER $400,000 FOR HIM IN OUR FIRST WEEK, IT BROKE ALL
RECORDS. IT'S A SIGN OF JUST THE ENORMOUS
ENTHUSIASM FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. >> HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE
OTHER $7 MILLION THAT POURED IN? >> I THINK THERE WAS THIS
POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP THAT POURED IN.
>> THERE'S A CROWD OF REPUBLICANS.
FOUR REPUBLICANS POLLING THERE, AND THEY POLYP AROUND 40%.
WHAT'S SURPRISING IS, WE DON'T SEE A LITTLE CROWD OF DEMOCRATS
CREATING A PROBLEM TO HAVE ONE OF THE DEMOCRATS EMERGED.
DID OTHER DEMOCRATS GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LET HIM GO?
>> THERE ARE A FEW OTHER DEMOCRATS RUNNING, THE PARTY
REALLY UNITED AROUND OSSOFF. HE PRESENTED A COMPELLING FIGURE
AND THE GRASSROOTS FELT HE WAS THE PERFECT GUY TO CHANNEL THEIR
FEELINGS ABOUT WHAT'S GOING WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE
COUNTRY'S UNITED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM BEHIND HIM.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS JUMPING IN MULTIPLE TWEETS ON THIS TODAY.
SURELY THERE WILL BE TWEETS TOMORROW?
>> HE WAS TRYING TO SET EXPECTATIONS LIKE YOU SAID, I
THINK IT'S AMAZING HE'S TRYING TO DO THAT, THE FACT THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A RUNOFF IS AMAZING, THE NOTION THAT THAT'S
THE UPSIDE FOR REPUBLICANS. THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE
COMPETITIVE -- >> REPUBLICANS JUST TRYING TO
GET TO A RUNOFF IN A DISTRICT THAT THEY'VE OWNED FOR 38 YEARS.
>> IT'S TRULY REMARKABLE. THEY DESPERATELY HAD TO JUMP IN
AT THE LAST MINUTE. REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING
TO SWEAT THESE SLAM DUNKS AND YET HERE WE ARE.
>> OSSOFF AS A CANDIDATE, HOW IS HE PERFORMING?
>> I THINK HE'S DONE A STELLAR JOB, AN AMAZING JOB OF
CHANNELING THIS ENERGY FROM THE GRASSROOTS AND ALSO DELIVERING A
MESSAGE THAT REALLY RESONATES WITH HIS DISTRICT.
I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, PARTICULARLY FOR A FIRST TIME
CANDIDATE. I THINK HE'S GREAT.
>> YOU WATCH THAT RESPONSE TO TRUMP TODAY.
YOU CAN'T SHAKE HIM? >> ABSOLUTELY
