Independent, more of a political operative and a loyalist, and i think wed like -- i know we want someone who, again, is steeped in the knowledge about issues around the world, but is going to be independent enough to pull the president in the right direction when hes off base. jon: all indications arethe frow senator, john kerry. would you support him? >> look, i hate to say anything good, jon, about anybody because it may be bad for them -- [laughter] but i do think that, you know, john kerry ...

House about the way mccain and company, they think ganged up on her. i was also told that he might not have stuck with her as long as he did but for mccain. he did not want to appear to be backing down in the face of a challenge from john mccain. this was a really messy episode. whether or not she was the best nominee, i mean, joe, your point is exactly right, i think. that the benghazi issue, first of all, was not front and center. its not her portfolio. so she was put out as the highest rankin...

Incomplete as it was, was called a great first step when republicans tried bring new initiatives to the table like the stem act it is not enough t is not a good first step. im just wondering if you think republicans will actually be given the opportunity to succeed at having a conversation on immigration or are democrats really more interested in wing the issue and you not solving the problem? really good question. i have to say im not privileged enough to be a republican on a democrat. my lif...

Nominate ambassador rice to clinton as secretary of state. but senator johnny isaacson of georgia said he would not confirm her. why? >> i dont think she is confirmable right now because of the lack of information we have on the entire benghazi issue, from the administration. susan rice is the tip of the sphere. the administration has put her there. there are unanswered questions why we didnt have security for christy veins, why we couldnt get security there why it took so long to admit it was t...
