i think we are starting in wisconsin because as you remember there wasn't a lot of campaigning in wisconsin in 2016. with me that, changes. >> midwestern states, wisconsin, michigan -- we have gone over this a million times. >> i'm from the midwest as well. >> are you from indiana? i am as well. sorry, keith u you're not involved in this conversation anymore. with those at roos, that ability, the focus from klobuchar, do you think in some ways she could be more of a threat to trump than any of the front-runner candidates from the coast? >> the thing you have to ask yourself though is she endorsed the green new dealle you're going go to the midwest with a war on cows. that will sell really well in wisconsin. with a war on automobile manufacturing. not going sell well in the midwest. these are policies they're embracing early on and that's not going sell well in the midwest and places the president did well. >> she has won election in the midwest so i think she knows more about what's going to sell and what's not going to sell. in michigan it was 10,700 votes. 22,000 in wisconsin. 44,000 for

wisconsin. and she really made that very clear here, this is a state that president trump two years ago won by just 1%. it is also a place, a state where hillary clinton did not actually visit during the general election. trump visited about six times, and so senator amy klobuchar said out of the kate, that this is a critical state and she would be here on day one to kick things off and move it forward to try to make up for the democrat, the rural democrats that many people lost back in 2016. and so that was what she was doing at the bike and coffee shop. she was well received. a lot of enthusiasm. eau claire. a democratic enclave within the state of wisconsin. so it was friendly territory. but this is where she is kicking off and launching things. she is setting herself apart from her other democratic rivals. in many different ways. talking about climate change. taking on cyber security. and also taking on the spending bill. this was the bill signed into law just yesterday by the president, kee

these states, pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin and iowa, were considered key to the democrats. you can see as you mentioned the coastal states, the upper midwest and out west, this is a county by county breakdown. you can see the sea of red with the blue along the coast and in colorado. primarily, the flyover country is republican country. >> that's right. democrats have been wringing their hands trying to figure out how they can win given this democr geographic spread. there's hope they can do better in the south, georgia and texas. candidates performed pretty well in 2018. we're offering a different idea, which is how about democrats get behind rebuilding the economies of these flyover states and that the key to doing so is recognizing what -- there are many things that led to the decline of the economies in the middle of america. growth of the economy of a handful of metro areas on the coast. we think the biggest thing that happened was 30, 40 years ago, the federal government changed policy when it comes to competition and antitrust. for almost a century prior to 19 1980, t
