Amanpour interviews Congressman-elect Tom Malinowski (D flipped seat that was R since '81)
snip//
I want to play something that maybe speaker, certainly Leader Pelosi said to me in September because a lot of people said well you know what, the Democrats don't really have a message to complete with Make America Great Again.
There's no slogan, there's no clear strategy but this is where she laid out in September.
What we're about in our campaign is that we are for the people, for lower health care costs, lowering prescription drug prices.
We're for raising pay checks, lowering healthcare costs, increasing paychecks by building the infrastructure of America and for cleaning up government to make sure people understand that the people's interest, not the special interests are served here in the United States Capitol.
So there she was laying out a strategy and one that clearly is a winning strategy

Yes you can. Eliot was referencing the flip of dozens of House seats, not singling out any. Yet....
