Newt Gingrich's Old Seat Up For Grabs In Georgia Special Election | All In

>> HE'LL LIKELY GET THE MOST VOTES IN RACE FOR CON GREGS,
SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. IT'S A HOUSE SEAT VACATED BY TOM
PRICE, THE NEW SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES,
BEFORE THAT HELD BY NEWT GINGRICH FOR 20 YEARS.
THEY NEED TO WIN THE SEAT OUT RIGHT.
BECAUSE OF SCATTERED REPUBLICAN SUPPORT AND INFLUX, IT'S NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION ENTIRELY. THERE ARE 18 CANDIDATES FOR THE
HOUSE SEAT. 17 OF WHICH ARE REPUBLICANS, A
PROBLEM FOR THE GOP THAT THE DAILY BEAST WAS TO POINT OUT,
"THE MONSTER FIELD SPLIT MONEY BETWEEN THE REPUBLICANS" ANOTHER
PROBLEM RAISED MORE THAN $8 MILLION SINCE JANUARY AND
UNLIKE LAST WEEK'S SPECIAL ELECTION IN KANSAS, ERASE THE
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE LARGELY AVOIDED THIS TIME IN GEORGIA,
PLAYING TO WIN. >> HI, I'M SAMUEL L. JACKSON,
THERE'S A SPECIAL ELECTORAL -- GO VOTE, REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STAYED HOME, WE GOT STUCK WITH TRUMP.
WE HAVE TO CHANNEL THE GREAT VINTAGE SAYING THAT WE HAVE THIS
ADMINISTRATION INTO VOTES AT THE BALLOT BOX.
>> AS BEING RUN AS REFERENDUM ON PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THIS MORNING
RIGHT ON QUEUE, THE PRESIDENT ENTERED THE FRAY WITH BASELESS
TWEET OF HIS OWN. WANTS TO PROTECT CRIMINALS ALLOW
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND RAISE TACTICS.
THE REASON, WHILE I'M GLAD THE PRESIDENT IS -- JOINING ME NOW,
IN ATLANTA, LATEST PIECE IS CALLED MAKE DONALD TRUMP FURIOUS
AGAIN. SPECIAL ELECTION COULD BE A
DEVASTATING BLOW TO THE PRESIDENT.
MICHELLE, WHAT IS YOUR SENSE REPORTING DOWN THERE OF HOW THIS
RACE IS TAKING SHAPE. >> SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY REALLY HARD
TO SAY FOR, YOU ANECDOTELY WHETHER SOMEBODY GETS 40% OR 50%
IN THE VOTE TOMORROW. THE ENERGY REMIND ME OF OBAMA IN
2008. I MEAN, YOU TALKED ABOUT -- YOU
TALKED ABOUT THE DNC BORROWING MONEY OR THE DNC PUTTING MONEY
IN HERE. WHAT'S MUCH MORE APPARENT ON THE
GROUND WAS THE INCREDIBLE LIKE FANATICAL VOLUNTEERS.
YOU HAD 900 PEOPLE OUT KNOCKING DOORS YESTERDAY.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ARE LOCAL, MOSTLY LOCAL WOMEN.
I KEEP MEETING WOMEN WHO TELL ME SORT OF THE SAME STORY OVER AND
OVER AGAIN, WHICH IS THAT THEY'VE NEVER BEEN POLITICALLY
INVOLVED BEFORE, THEY WOKE UP THE DAY AFTER DONALD TRUMP WAS
ELECTED AND THEY WERE SHATTERED AND THEY KIND OF POURED THAT
INTO POLITICAL ACTIVISM AND NOW THEY'RE TAKING THE SKILLS THAT
THEY LEARNED ON THE PTA AND JUST DEVOTING THEMSELVES.
I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO TRY TO DO
THIS. >> THAT IS FASCINATING AND
FASCINATING. WE SHOULD SAY, SO THE DISTRICT
WAS ENTERING. ONE OF THOSE DISTRICTS THAT
HILLARY CLINTON OUT PERFORMED BARACK OBAMA.
SO TRUMP DID WORSE THAN HE DID THAN ROMNEY IN THAT DISTRICT.
>> MUCH WORSE. >> HE ONLY WANTED BY ONE AND A
HALF POINTS. VERY AFFLUENT SUBURBAN DISTRICT.
IT'S THIS AD WHICH I WANT TO PLAY.
WHICH IS PART OF THE MESSAGE WHICH IS RERUNNING THE HILLARY
CLINTON TEMPERAEMPERAMENT ATTAC THE PRESIDENT.
TAKE A LISTEN. >>.
>> IT HAS THE HIGHEST EDUCATION LEVELS OF ANY DISTRICT IN THE
STATE. YOU KNOW, THESE ARE KIND OF WHEN
THE. THEY'RE GOING TO PULL AFFLUENT
SUBURBAN WOMEN INTO THE CAMPAIGN AND IT WOULD MAKE UP FOR THE
DEFLECTION OF SOME BLUE COLLAR WHITE WORKING VOTERS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE THAT CAME VERY CLOSE TO WORKING.
AND SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN, AGAIN, I MEAN PEOPLE REALLY
SPOKE TO ME THEM FEELING LIKE TRUMP IS A THREAT TO THEIR
CHILDREN'S FUTURE. YOU KNOW, THEY ARE KIND OF
MORALLY OUTRAGED IN A WAY THAT REMINDS ME OF THE TEA PARTY.
IT REMIND ME OF THINGS I'VE READ ABOUT.
GRASS ROOTS ARMY. YOU KNOW, I SPOKE TODAY -- IN
OUR WOMAN IN 44-YEAR-OLD ARMY VETERAN WHO WAS SAYING, YOU
KNOW, I HAVE A 17-YEAR-OLD AND 23-YEAR-OLD AND I HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT THEM GETTING DRAFTED. >> MY SENSE IS THAT HE THINKS
THAT'S ENOUGH -- ESSENTIALLY CHANNEL THIS ENERGY WITHOUT
GIVING AWAY TOO MUCH. >> WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM AND I
THINK THEY HAVE TO SAY THIS, THEY'LL SAY NO WE'RE RUNNING A
LOCAL RACE AND WE'RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
AND APPROVING THE LOCAL ECONOMY. BUT IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THIS
IS BECOME A NATIONAL REFERENDUM. I MEAN, IT'S THE REASON THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS ON THE SHOW.
IT'S THE REASON HAVE POURED MONEY INTO THE RACE FROM ALL
OVER THE STATE. IT'S THE REASON YOU HAVE TRUMP
PEOPLE, VETERANS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WORKING ON BEHALF OF
BOB, WHO IS SORT OF THE TRUMP CANDIDATE IN THE RACE.
RIGHT. I MEAN, IT'S THE REASON THAT A
LOT OF THESE -- YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT
VOLUNTEERING, THEY REALLY LIKE HIM.
HE'S, YOU KNOW, HE SPEAKS ELEGANTLY.
HE'S VERY CONSIDERED. HE HAS SOME OF THE QUALITIES OF
YOUNG BARACK OBAMA IN TERMS OF HIS KIND OF THOUGHTFULNESS.
BUT THEY ARE REALLY HEAR TO SEND A NATIONAL MESSAGE TO TRUMP.
>> ONLY TO GET MORE INTENSE, IF IT DOES GO TO RUN OFF.
THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT IF
