we saw doug jones of alabama it was against roy moore but a democrat won in alabama. stacey abrams in 2018, andrew gillum running for governor in florida. beto o'rourke in texas, all democrats in the south and they made the calculus that many are making. instead of running to the center and running as a milquetoast democrat trying to win over the centrist republican, run to stoke the democratic base. get hispanics in georgia as well as black voters to turn out. get white liberals to turn out. build a new kind of younger, more dynamic, more diverse coalition and that's the path to victory. that's the case many democrats are making if they want to come back in trump country in the south. >> well, you know, richard haass, it's interesting. let's put up that map again of the actual percentages because as you put that up, you actually see the states where there's at least income -- the

you have the doug jones race in alabama. he's the one that took over jeff sessions seat and this is the reelection for the full term in alabama. what's going on there? >> part of doug jones dreams are coming true with roy moore entering the race. i think doug jones has an extremely difficult path to reelection. andst all of the baggage the stories surrounding roy moore he still almost won that race and we are going to have an entirely different level of in the 2017020 then special election. i think there will be at least 800,000 more voters in the 20 center race -- 2020 senate race. going tos is probably win alabama by 20 points. roy moore, there is going to be a crowded republican primary. roy moore is probably going to at least make the runoff. we will see if republicans in d.c. can prevent him from being the nominee. i guess i would encourage c-span viewers to be open-minded whether it's frightening or encouraging that even if he is the republican nominee he could win the senate race. host: the president last time was ver

alabama's democratic senator doug jones will join me on the disconnect. and if democrats can change the narrative. the narrative. hmm. exactly. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? not again. limu that's your reflection. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ this melting pot of impacted species. everywhere is going to get touched by climate change. hi, it's real milk, just00% farmwithout the lactose, id. so you can enjoy it even if you're sensitive. delicious. now, i've heard people say lactaid isn't real milk. ok, well, if it isn't real then, i guess those things over there can't actually be cows. must be some kind of really big dogs, then. sit! bad dog. >>> you've heard it from the vast majority of democratic candidates the economy is only working for a relative handful of americans. while millions of working people are left out. if you remember when president trump was running we heard the exact same message from him. a new stud

>> i had three democrats join in the letter and that was doug jones and joe mansion and kirsten that led that effort. i was working closely with my ranking member gary peters and wanted to be constructive so i think there is goodwill in the senate to try and fix this problem but all the come poepon. what do you do with the undocumented people in the work force. what do you do with 1.2 million people that have come in since 2012 daca. nobody is talking about what do we do with those vibindividuals? what do you do so people don't feel they want to move to america, economic migrants which is not an asylum claim. we can spend this entire program and barely scratch the surface of the problem but we have to start to reduce the flow of people coming in the country exploiting our broken asylum system, focus on that while we certainly try and help central america. >> well, you gave viewers i think a glimmer of hope there is actually a conversation being had between conservatives like you and maybe moderate democrats and liberals to try to get beyond the politics and fix the crisis. thank you,

>> i had three democrats join in the letter and that was doug jones and joe man chen that really led the effort. but i was working closely with jerry peters. i think there is goodwill in the senate to try and fix this problem, but all the components -- i mean, what do you do with the 8 million people in this country undocumented that are in the work force? what do you do with the 1.1, 1.2 million people that have come in since 2012 daca? nobody is talking about what do we do with those individuals? what do you do to help create development in central america so people don't feel that they want to move to america, basically economic migrants, which is not a sal id asylum. we have to start, from my standpoint, reduce that flow of people coming into the country exploiting our broken asylum system. focus on that and certainly try and help central america. >> you gave viewers i think a glimmer of hope that there actually is a conversation being had between conservatives like you and maybe some moderate democrats and maybe some more liberals to try to get beyond the politics and fix the cr

jones' sead that's a challenge. alabama's a very, very red state. so they have to defend that, have to win the three states i just mentioned, and if they do that they're still one seat 50ort of getting to the 50/ level in the senate which would essentially serve as a majority. >> woodruff: so setting alabama aside where we know dug jones is going to be fighting hold on to that seat, how well are the democrats doing now at recruiting strong candidates? we saw this week governor hickenlooper's staff, five of them quit working for hi because he wouldn't agree to leave the presidential race and n for the senate in colorado. >> right, there's going to b increasing pressure on candidates from states with competitive senate races or epotentially competitivete races to drop out of the 202ia races spif they're not pulling well. hickenlooper is a good example of that. for example, if beto o'rourke were to drop out of the presidential race to run for texas senate again, it's not clear how much his own polit brand has been dama

steve: what is the democratic senator doug jones think? brian will talk to him coming up. did you know congress is working to end surprise medical billing? that's when patients are hit with medical bills they thought would be covered by insurance. the problem is big insurance companies want a one-size-fits-all approach that lets them decide what they'll pay doctors for yocare. letting insurance companies decide means it could be harder for you to see the best doctors when you need them the most. tell congress, "end surprise billing, and don't let insurance companies put profits over patients. paid for by physicians for fair coverage. steve: welcome back. quick look at the headlines. four people charged after a pharmaceutical company since millions of painkillers to a town of just 400 people. two former miami employees with two pharmacists are accused of conspiring to contribute to the growing opioid crisis. nevada is launching the country's first banking system for the cannabis industry. it will allow marijuana businesses to deal in electronic tokens and chips. dispensarie

very narrow win for doug jones in alabama. did the democrats throwing franken overboard help them in the election? >> you are more of a numbers guy. i would trust your counting break down. the point is the democrats made a political decision in that moment, and it was one with which al franken went along. >> right. >> i don't mean to beat a dead horse here. i get it, al, i get it. totally 100%. six-year job, great, perfect. but at that time, at that moment, the things that came out about him, of course the democrats said, you've got to go. whether or not that won the alabama seat, maybe it did, but regardless, the political calculus made sense. >> let's not forget, people say he shouldn't have done and they regret this now. but it was a different time and they were all jumping on something. and again, i have to go back to there was a photograph. and in that moment, how can you deny that photograph at that time? >> there was a photograph and then there were a number of women coming out. i have to say just reading this article,
