At electing democrats. one of the interesting things when you look at stockman. you look at what the senate conservative fund have said about it. it is fundamentally, the decoupling of any ideas or seriousness from the word conservative. what defines steve stockman as a conservative is his nuttiness. through the prism that the senate conservative fund is writing abut. john cornan as you pointed out at the beginning. by any reasonable standard is an impeccable conservative. he is one of the most ...

Like theyll try to settle this blood fuel between senator mcconnell and jim demint right here in kentucky. >> the mcconnell poll numbers, right now whether hes polling versus bevin, his primary challenger, or polling versus his democratic challenger arent great. and he has the highest profile you can possibly have in the senate. and im wondering why he thinks pushing hard is going to be pushing effectively. whats the battle plan? >> well, that was my first question as well, when mitch mcconnell ...

War with these groups like the senate conservative fund, like heritage action, and it looks like theyll try to settle this blood fuel between senator mcconnell and jim demint right here in kentucky. >> the mcconnell poll numbers, right now whether hes polling versus bevin, his primary challenger, or polling versus his democratic challenger arent great. and he has the highest profile you can possibly have in the senate. and im wondering why he thinks pushing hard is going to be pushing effectivel...

His democratic challenger arent great. and he has the highest profile you can possibly have in the senate. and im wondering why he thinks pushing hard is going to be pushing effectively. whats the battle plan? >> well, that was my first question as well, when mitch mcconnell unleashed this really withering attack last week on matt bevin, my first response was, wow, this will backfire. he will make matt bevin if bevin cant make himself a candidate. i think that while it looks like senator mcconne...

Still voting to open the government, raise the debt ceiling, and yes, continue funding the affordable care act to. day politico reporting that ted cruz is backing down and promised his fellow republican senators he will stop attacking them. according to politico, ted cruz attended a closed door lunch meeting with senate republicans where he told them he wont engage in the senate conservative funds hardball tactics to defeat his colleagues. the freshman conservative told his colleagues he would n...

Ted cruz is backing down. remember this ted cruz? >> we saw the house of representatives stand strong, listen to the people, and stand strong against obama care. sadly as you just noted, what we then saw was senate republicans not unite but be divided. if senate republicans had united and supported house republicans, supported the american people, we could have had a very different outcome. >> that was ted cruz talking two weeks ago. actually while congress was still voting to open the governmen...

>> i pointed out earlier today its an interesting situation that ted cruz taking a strong stand on principle and fighting for what he promised on the campaign trail is almost an insult to the old guard g.o.p. establish independent d.c. so i dont think thats much of a surprise. when folks think about this fight to defund and the government shutting down dont think it was a lack of the ability to beat the democrats per se. i think the problem was the republicans that we have in d.c. right now, whi...

Four times as much as originally slated and is behind schedules seven years and counting. and yet there it is, in the legislative language of last nights deal, after a government shutdown ostensibly about government waste and the debt and deficit. and so the senate conservative fund, by calling it the kentucky kickback, immediately fingered the culprit, mitch mcconnell, that dastardly barren of the senate is trying to knock off with a primary challenge to his right. and pinning it on mcconnell w...

Government waste and the debt and deficit. and so the senate conservative fund, by calling it the kentucky kickback, immediately fingered the culprit, mitch mcconnell, that dastardly barren of the senate is trying to knock off with a primary challenge to his right. and pinning it on mcconnell was not a ridiculous assumption. heres mitch mcconnell in 2009, visiting the ohmstead locks and dam project. mcconnell has secured earmarks for the project before, hundreds of millions of dollars, up to 200...

Think are even less happy with him than you sound. >> well, they handed it to him. i was told that they were meeting, and that most republican senators i was told by republican source in the room spoke out against him. this is what one source said to me. cruz was completely unapologetic about the ads that he is featured in on the senate conservative fund web site that attack other republicans. thats what theyre mad about. he sees himself as the only truly pure are. his colleagues are furious. he...
