How and why is this happening? >> clinton benefits from two things here. the foreign policy shine of being this incredibly popular secretary of state under obama in his first term when he was more popular. secondly, this clinton nostalgia. her husband was president during a time when terrorism didnt exist or not in the same way it existed after 9/11. people felt safer, more secure at the time. i think a combination of those two things. her foreign policy chops and the clinton brand in terms of f...

So here is the number. 08-40-64-65. thank you for your attention. you have been listening to the prosecutor of paris, and that is francois melot, and he did a wonderful job there summarizing the details. i will try to recap it, because the statistics have changed. the number of dead now has been riztone the number 129 and given 352 injured, and many of them very seriously, and he said that 99 people remained in serious condition. he went through step by step the time line if you will, but he w...

Different sets of voters. what motivates it, republicans are having to have a much different conversation with some of their voters and then having to sort of turn and have a different conversation with an elector elect electorate thats going to be less white. basically, the republican party elect elect elect electorate is getting less white. that and when youre going in two different directions, thats why the conversation on immigration is what it is right now inside the republican party. >> ch...

To that? >> listen, i believe in not following a pat were that doesnt work. every time we nominate a candidate who runs to the mushy middle, we get clobbered. and one thing that is abundantly clear, if we nominate another candidate in the mold of a bob dole or a john mccain or a mitt romney, all of whom are good, honorable, decent men, but what they did didnt work. if we do it again, the same millions of conservatives that stayed home in 08 and 12 will stay home in 16. it doesnt make any sense. ...

He had built a second government and had connections over there with that special office in the department of defense. it was equally hawkish. i dont know if you could call president bush a neo con. they were to the right and very, very militarily aggressive. they seem to have a list of countries they wanted to go into. >> thats a very good point. because what president bush 41 was particularly worried about was broadening the war on terror beyond afghanistan and iraq. and chiefly, iran. the con...

>> yes, but he was so right. i thought. you did the reporting and history. but at the time i remember being shocked at the power that cheney had in the vice presidents office. he had all kinds of people who were loyal to him. he had built a second government and had connections over there with that special office in the department of defense. it was equally hawkish. i dont know if you could call president bush a neo con. they were to the right and very, very militarily aggressive. they seem to h...

The other side. despite having a democratic majority in both houses of my legislation weve reduced spending by $2 billion everywhere it was in fiscal year 08. cut the work force 15%. reduced business taxes by $2.3 billion. reformed teacher tenure, capped property taxes, and we reformed pensions and benefits. thats the kind of republican that americans want in washington, d.c., especially because i know how to work with the other side and make things happen. i dont stand in the corner and hold my...

Virginia really went purple with president obama. he carried that state, right. >> it was stunning because no democrat for president had carried virginia since lbj in 1964 until obama did it in 08. a lot of folks said thats a fluke and it will flip back in 12. it didnt. obama carried that state again. i think it was wake up call to republicans. if they continue to support more government spending, their going to continue losing states if they look too much like the democrats. they have to put fo...

New hampshire was that one bright spot after a very tough time in iowa at that critical period when barack obama sort of overtook her candidacy and kept on going. so for hillary clinton now showing much greater strength in polling, having been tested in different ways in this campaign season, new hampshire will be critical and the polling suggests shes got a real shot here, even though bernie sanders is the neighboring senator, well known here, and also has a lot of strength and energy behind hi...

Of carsons stories. we talked last hour about trump kind of saying, hey, is this real? is this not real? as we look ahead to tomorrow night at the debate here in milwaukee, that is a story line to watch. >> also someone getting some scrutiny, marco rubio over his credit card use. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yes. so this all stems from his use of a state party issued credit card back in 2005, 2006, 07, and 08 when marco rubio was speaker designate and speaker of the house in flo...
