Long, hard slog ahead and we need math that works. that means probably raising taxes or at least cutting some loopholes and making the tax code simpler, raising revenue, making some investments but maybe curbing entitlements. >> i want to bring in ralph nader, three-time presidential candidate and author of the new book called "the 17 solutions." always good to have you on the program. thanks for being here. mitt romney is painting himself as a defender of the middle class. he says he wont raise...

To figure out how to attack barack obama without alienating people who did vote for him. and i think thats right. if you bring this to debate, hell have a hard time going after the president for that reason. >> well, alicia, theres something to that, because you notice hes been trying to come off a little more moderate in tone. watch this. >> now and then, the president says im the grandfather of obamacare. i dont think he meant that as a compliment, but ill take it. >> translator: if one of our...

A particularly not great moment to have just hours, 48, 72, before the republican national convention. >> i kind of like this. romney had intended to talk about the economy all summer, barely talked about it at all, distraction after distraction. this at least was kind of straight talk, this was mitt romney, he does in fact know a lot about tax loopholes, he knows a lot -- >> yes, he does. >> he knows a lot about big business and how it works. it is a real thing that small businesses have a lot ...

Campaigning together and romney went back to the old romney. heres a quote about this. ever since splitting up the campaign duties with ryan this weekend, mitt romney seems to have lost the energy he had on the trail with his vp pick. take a look at this afternoon with coal miners. heres not exactly mr. excitement. something about, keep this team together, i would argue, but they arent and you saw what happened this morning. lets watch. >> thats an impressive scene. you know that right here and ...

For the ryan budget, so the reality now shifts to this full frontal assault by the romney ryan team to kind of push and redirect the conversation. now, i still think they can get this done. i understand with mr. mckinnon is saying and i think they can make this about big thing, but how they frame that argument to both your points, the questions about the impact of the ryan budget and whether or not and you saw it on 60 minutes, chris, romney kind of backing waway frm this. >> we pointed that out...

Make this about big thing, but how they frame that argument to both your points, the questions about the impact of the ryan budget and whether or not and you saw it on 60 minutes, chris, romney kind of backing away from this. >> we pointed that out yesterday. i will keep doing that. lets talk about psycho babble now, my favorite topic in politic. you guys are both old enough to remember when cher broke up with sonny and back when martin and lewis broke up. you never know what will happen to the ...

Those polls were taken over the weekend. i wonder if hes losing the glitz and the pep of the weekend. that speech i saw this morning looked like the old romney again. >> chris, i think the way it looks to me at this point, if im talking to people from both parties, the risk for mitt romney is the worst of all possible worlds. he excited the base. no question. he excited the tea party and the rest of the conservative republican base with the pick of paul ryan. and now the question is going to be ...

If he pake - makes the pick and we are happy two or three days and back to the same old romney campaign, that will not work. it is the first card where it is a campaign about the future. you have to embrace the choice. there is always a myth you could win on a referundum. voters are not stupid. they want to know about the next four years. >> the real danger, i agree with what bill is saying. if he looks like he is backing away from the romney -- ryan plan that plays in the flip flopper and other...

Looking at those numbers of any vp pick in a dozen years. now here is a different view. abc/"washington post" poll had a more positive outlook. here it was. 38% viewed the pick favorably. 33% had a negative reaction to romney naming paul ryan. those polls were taken over the weekend. i wonder if hes losing the glitz and the pep of the weekend. that speech i saw this morning looked like the old romney again. >> chris, i think the way it looks to me at this point, if im talking to people from both...

Like me like it and happy two or three days and then back to the same old romney campaign that wont work. this needs to be the first card that is being played in a veer reese of cards where he makes this a big campaign about the future. you have to embrace the choice. there is always a myth if you could just win a quote referendum on the last four years. voters know they are voting about the next four years and he has to clare tie what the choice is for the next four years. >> the real danger he...
