recount florida imagine trying to do in a national fashion. second, all politicians would be offering massive urban centers everything they can. you want speed trains, you want a brand-new, sponsor -- you go to with a population pocket are and you would abandon role america and our agricultural sector. so i don't see a electoral college away anytime soon no matter how these elections, and it may very well be if trump got reelected, he would probably not win the popular vote against or it's likely that he won't win it but could win on the electoral college. there's going to be frustration, people calling it not democracy. should be one person, one vote. but alas the electoral college is here to stay. >> i would add it on tuesday because it is an enormous bulwark for the two-party system. america benefits from having a stable democracy with two big parties rather than the multiparty systems that we see in your. imagine having four or five parties in the house of representatives and trying to organize the house and operate. we have trouble enough when we only have two parties. let me say

included hurricanes that hit my home state of texas, florida, the u.s. virgin islands and puerto rico. we also saw dozens of wildfires burn through thousands of acres and destroy everything in their path. after hurricane harvey hit texas, i personally toured the devastated communities in my district as well as a city of houston. days of punishing rain, rising rivers and overflowing bayous wreaked havoc on much of my state. this destruction was horrifying, roads were flooded and many homes were obliterated and sadly, many people lost their lives, but as i witnessed the strength of the texas spirit, that was the positive. many volunteers hopped into their boats to rescue people who were stranded on the rooftops or trapped in a vehicle. others waded out into the murky waters filled with snakes and firants to save their loved ones or even to help a stranger. texans helping texans rose to the challenge and assisted one another during a very tough time. strong coordination at the local, state and federal level of fema and army corps of engineers rose, and i commend the efforts in hurricane harv

gave speeches on gun violence on the one-month anniversary of the shooting of a florida high school that left 17 dead. here are some of the debate. >> mr. president, most people cannot remember what happened in the first grade. but there are certain things that may have been, even at that young stage in your life, that will be remembered. my six-year-old granddaughter who attends first grade in brooklyn, new york a few weeks ago was told by her teacher what to do if a shooter, if a guy man came into the first grade classroom. my little granddaughter was told, don't stand by the windows. you could get shot. if they entered the classroom with a gun, get down on the floor. is there any sane person in america who believes that is that the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the second amendment to the bill of rights? the right to bear arms? that we would reach a point in america with the prospects of gun violence in the first grade classrooms all the way through school, through high school and college would become a reality in america? i can't imagine anyone in their wildest dr
