"ANGLE."

>> YOU CAN KIND OF FEEL IT.

RIGHT?

THE WEATHER IS CHANGING.

FALL IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FALL OF

THE DEMOCRATS.

IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE, AWFUL WEEK

FOR THEM.

CAPPED OFF BY A MISERABLE

THREE-HOUR DEBATE ON ABC.

FIRST, THERE ARE SIGNS THAT THE

DEMOCRATS WILL GIVE TRUMP A WIN.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE TRUMP

A WIN.

AND I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO

ALLOW A VOTE ON THAT U.S. MCA --

THE NEW U.S.-MEXICO-CANADA FREE

TRADE DEAL.

EVEN "THE WASHINGTON POST," I

ALMOST FELL OVER WHEN I READ

THIS, SAID IT'S A NO-BRAINER.

BRING THE THING UP FOR A VOTE.

SECOND THING IT'S BEEN A

BAD WEEK FOR THE DEMOCRATS, THE

DOW IS NOW UP AROUND 27,000, THE

S&P IS AT 3,000.

WELL, THAT'S NEAR RECORD

TERRITORY FOR THE DOW.

UP FOR THE EIGHTH STRAIGHT DAY.

NOW, WHAT DOES THIS INDICATE?

RENEWED OPTIMISM AMONG CONSUMERS

AND BUSINESSES.

THIS IS IMPORTANT TOWARD THE

CLOSE OF THIS YEAR.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM,

STILL OPEN TO A TRADE DEAL WITH

CHINA.

A TIGHT LABOR MARKET HERE AT

HOME, THAT MEANS WAGES

CONTINUE -- SEE, A LITTLE BIT OF

AN UPTICK.

THAT'S ALL GOOD NEWS.

I LOVE A TIGHT LABOR MARKET.

THIRD, THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO

ANSWER FOR TRUMP ON THE ECONOMY.

INSTEAD, WHAT YOU HEARD IN LAST

NIGHT'S DEBATE WAS THE SAME

TIRED PLATITUDES.

>> WE CAN USE TRADE TO HELP

BUILD A STRONGER ECONOMY.

>> WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS

CREATING THE ECONOMY THAT WORKS

FOR ALL OF US, NOT 1%.

>> THE GOAL OF MY CAMPAIGN IS TO

MAKE THIS AN ECONOMY THAT ALLOWS

US TO LIVE OUR HUMAN VALUES AND

ASPIRATIONS.

>> Laura: WE'RE DOING THAT.

IN A FEW MOMENTS, WITHE EEL

ANALYZE THE DEBATE WITH THE ONLY

WAY IT MAKES SENSE, BY THE WAY,

BRUTAL SATIRE.

BUT FIRST, LET ME SAY NO ONE ON

THAT STAGE LOOKED STRONG ENOUGH

TO BEAT TRUMP IN 2020.

I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO

CONFIDENT.

TO USE ANOTHER TIRED ANALOGY.

BUT THEY JUST DID NOT LOOK LIKE

THEY WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

STAND ON THE STAGE AND DEBATE

THIS PRESIDENT ON HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

BECAUSE THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE

LEADING THE PACK STILL, AFTER

ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS TO TAKE

THEM DOWN, COULD BARELY STRING

TOGETHER TWO COHERENT SENTENCES.

>> I'M THE GUY THAT BROUGHT THE

BRADY BILL INTO FOCUS AND BECAME

LAW.

I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF

AFGHANISTAN NOT WITH A GUN.

THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES,

PAKISTAN OWNS THE THREE

COUNTY -- THE COUNTIES RUN IT.

I'LL GO ON AND ON.

I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES.

>> Laura: WOW -- HE'S NO LONGER

THE VICE PRESIDENT.

BUT IT FELT GOOD TO SAY THAT,

I'M SURE.

ALL OF THE DEMOCRATS ON STAGE

DEMONSTRATED IN ONE WAY OR THE

OTHER THAT THEY'RE SIMPLY NOT

COMPETENT TO GOVERN, EVEN

LIBERALS KNOW THIS ISN'T

WORKING.

THE LEFTY PUBLICATION, "SLATE"

EVISCERATED BIDEN'S ANSWER ON

THE QUESTION OF REPARATIONS.

AND ALL "SLATE" DID WAS MERELY

PUBLISH BIDEN'S INCOHERENT

ANSWER IN FULL.

AND WHEN ABC MODERATORS RAISED

THE ISSUE OF TRADE, EVERYONE ON

STAGE, EXCEPT ANDREW YANG, WAS

CAUGHT STUMBLING OR RESPONDED

AGAIN WITH MEANINGLESS BROMIDES.

THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE KIND

OF 7th GRADERS SHOCKED ABOUT A

SURPRISE QUESTION THAT THE

TEACHER DROPPED IN ON A HISTORY

EXAM.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

ELIZABETH WARREN, SHE SAID

PROUDLY THAT SHE'S GOING TO BAN

ALL FRAKING.

GOOD LUCK WINNING TEXAS WITH

THAT POSITION, LIZ.

BETO'S GUN BUYBACK, A GUN BAN

SPELLED DIFFERENTLY.

NOT HAPPENING.

AND BERNIE SANDERS, HE ALWAYS

SEEMED ANGRY.

HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE HE BELONGS

TO THAT WALDORF IN THE MUPPETS.

THAT'S A GOOD LOOK.

ALL KIDDING ASIDE, THIS IS OUR

FUTURE.

THIS IS OUR LIVES.

THIS AMERICA, THE MONEY THAT

EVERYBODY HAS EARNED, LOOKED SO

HARD TO EARN IN THE PAST FEW

YEARS, DO I THINK AMERICANS ARE

GOING TO TURN THAT ALL OVER, ALL

OF THOSE GANGS, TO, WHAT?

ELIZABETH WARREN AND HER GREEN

RAW NEW DEAL.

OR LET JULIAN "LET THEM ALL IN"

CASTRO THROW OPEN THE COUNTRY'S

BORDERS?

NO WAY.

COMPARE TRUMP'S RECORD OF PEACE

AND PROSPERITY TO WHAT WILL

UNDOUBTEDLY HAPPEN IF ONE OF THE

TOP DEM CONTENDERS WIN.

I HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T THINK

IT'S EVEN CLOSE.

PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW A LOT

ABOUT POLITICS ARE SURE --

THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT

TRUMP'S PERSONALITY, HIS TWEETS,

AND HIS TONE, IT'S ALL GOING TO

SINK HIM.

HE'S TOO ABRASIVE, TOO COCKY.

HE SWINGS AT TOO MANY PITCHES,

BLAH, BLAH.

ALL I'LL SAY ABOUT THAT IS A LOT

OF PEOPLE -- THEY DON'T LIKE

BILL BELICHICK EITHER.

HE'S GRUFF.

HE DOESN'T SMILE MUCH.

BUT GUESS WHAT, BELICHICK WINS

AND WINS AND WINS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DO LIKE THEM,

ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WINS.

THE TRUTH IS, OBAMA REALLY WAS A

GREAT POLITICIAN.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE HONEST ABOUT

THAT.

TERRIFIC.

CAPTIVATED A CROWD.

NONE OF THE DEMS RUNNING NOW

REALLY ARE.

IT'S NOT IN THEIR FAULT, IT'S

NOT IN THEIR DNA, IT'S NOT IN

THEIR SKILL SET.

WHAT DO THESE FOLKS DO?

JOE BIDEN SHOULD MOVE ON.

WRITE HIS MEMOIR, TELL OLD YARNS

ABOUT HIS LIFE AS A SENATE OR

GROWING UP AS A YOUNG BOY.

MAYOR PETE, HE CAN GO BACK TO

SOUTH BEND AND FIX THE HORRIBLE

CRIME PROBLEM THERE.

AND THEN ELIZABETH WARREN, SHE

CAN GO BACK TO THE SEQUESTERED

LIFE ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS, MAYBE

DO SOME DNA RESEARCH.

BERNIE SANDER, HE SHOULD JUST

LEAVE POLITICS AND RUN ONE OF

THOSE FREE SOCIALIST CIRCULARS

THAT GET AT THE SUPERMARKET

RAILS AGAINST CORRUPT LOCAL

POLITICIANS, ALWAYS STACKED UP.

AND MAYBE JULIAN CASTRO CAN

ASSIST MIGRANT FAMILIES AT THE

BORDERS.

A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE THERE.

AND COREY BOOKER, HE CAN START

HIS OWN VEGAN YOUTUBE CHANNEL,

BIG BUSINESS THERE.

AMY CLOBECHAR SHOULD BE A

PARTNER AT A BIG LAW FIRM AND

START ORDERING ASSOCIATES

AROUND.

KAMELA HARRIS, SHE WOULD BE A

GOOD PRESIDENT, AT LIKE A SMALL

LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE.

OR MAYBE SHE'D BE A GOODLOE CALL

TELEVISION ANCHOR.

I COULD SEE THAT.

BETO OROURKE SHOULD RUN A SCHOOL

OF ROCK FRANCHISE.

HE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN

THAT ARENA.

BUT NONE OF THEM, AND I MEAN
