Suffering, federal employees that have nothing to do with the bickering. >> thats right. government employees, public servants who republicans have demonized over the years. and as usual, reverend, the people who will feel these cuts the hardest are the ones who have the least voice and the least power in washington. as you were pointing out. head start, people who are beneficiaries of w.i.c., those are the folks whose cuts are going to fall -- the shutdown is going to fall the hardest pon. ther...

Democratic rules here -- >> sure. >> -- then we would have an easy resolution. its because john boehner wont divide those yapping dogs at his heels that we have an anti democratic action under way. >> thats right, robert. isnt it? >> i think thats exactly right. and david brings up a good point. theres probably a silent majority of maybe 100 to 120 house republicans who if a clean cr came to the floor, would be willing to support it. but because of the pressure from tea party incorporated, becau...

As being responsible for passing the cr, that is sort of what the flank party or the tea party caucus that controls republican politics right now will certainly blame him for that. i mean the problem for boehner is that hes been making these concessions year after year after year, crisis after crisis after crisis and he really cant corral his caucus to legislate. and so in this particular environment it is going to be tricky for him. at the end of the day hes got to figure out if hes supposed to...

I have done but the exchanges will not have the data up until tomorrow. i think thats really whats gg to be key in the whole debate because so much is about obama care. when people can go on and see in dollars and cents what it means to them and their neighbors, they are either going to buy into it or not buy into it. are there going to be selfish decisions come tomorrow and beyond. >> let me get you to hang on. we have bob menendez standing by. sir, thank you for your time. senator, menendez, c...

His own heck and didnt want to be on the same track of the american people in terms of the exchanges. third, you could have somewhat of a delay or clean cr. the votes are there for the clean cr, interestingly enough, andrea, there are at least 20 republicans that would go along with democrats in the conversations ive had but not clear john boehner wants to go that route now and risk alienating that conservative bloc of his conference. >> exactly. i was talking to a house republican chairman last...
