Heading for action, now he cant even get a vote on it. i think whats going to be critical to this is when the american military and security establishment weighs in. this is a very convincing agreement. i think youre going to find broad support among national security professionals. >> president of the plow shares fund. thank you for your time tonight. thank you for letting me make you tell me i was wrong and how. i really appreciate it, joe. >> thank you, rachel. all right. we have lots more ...

Now with republican senator mark kirk pledging to provide the deciding vote for lynch instead, its not only clear that loretta lynch will be confirmed if they let the vote happen its clear that the vote wont have to come with a giant conflict of tra indicted senator asterisk on it for all eternity. so thanks tammy duckworth! congresswoman duckworth, i think you very well may beat mark kirk in illinois next election day. and i think you are more likely than not to take that u.s. senate seat in il...

That puts the vote count on loretta lynch at 51 senators for the first time. the republicans in the senate are just maybe never going to allow a vote on her ever. but if they did put her forward now thanks to mark kirks newfound enthusiasm for her, loretta lynch would pass. she would be confirmed by the senate. and that is particularly nice for the white house and for loretta lynch, because before mark kirk made this announcement, the deciding vote for loretta lynch was probably going to have to...

And ethanol. those are the two things you have to win out there. rick santorum proves you dont need any money, not even a viable path to the white house to win in iowa. if you win in iowa and you have a little bit of money coming out of there, then thats your ticket. and so cruz and walker and the other folks, theyre all in with pence with the unreconstructed pence here to say look, republican activists, im your guy, im going to support religious liberty at this moment. >> fascinating. the dynam...

But they needed to -- conservatives in their caucus blew that up on the floor and it was very clear even to them that this is the end of the road. democrats were not going to negotiate on giving it all to try to stop the presidents immigration plan. so they were able to get this through the house and in sort of a symbolic move even the house speaker who isnt required to vote really traditionally doesnt vote went to the house floor and voted for this to make it very clear that he believes this is...

>> well, the party -- the party left me. the platform of the republican party i support. so lets look at it this way. you can vote for scott brown, who as i said before doesnt vote for life, doesnt vote for guns, votes for dodd-frank which is a regulatory nightmare and votes with the democrats at least in the last year of his term 62% of the time. that means he voted with the republicans 38% of the time. or you can vote for bob smith, who left the party for four months saying, look, if the party...

A lot of that driven by early voting. then you look at the presidential races. this law is supposed to take place in 2016. in 2008, look at that. barack obama actually won the state of north carolina, shocked a lot of people. very narrowly, but 49.9 to 49.5. really only very narrowly lost it in 2012. so north carolina is obviously a swing state. do you think thats what this is about, 2016? >> well, its about that. its about the shifting demographics in the south, 23% to 25% of our voting populat...

Cantor was for wall street, and i am for main street. so the feeling from the financial community, whether justified or not, is that they have indeed lost a friend, or someone who was sympathetic, if not empathetic to them. what do you make of that? >> i think his challenger, you know, took popular talking points and used it to his advantage. whether he actually comes to washington and votes that way and doesnt vote in favor of wall street, or doesnt vote in favor of businesses or business-frien...

Access to data and better tools to make the most of the data. over a year later, that data is still really pretty bad. the republican party has a serious data problem. something is deeply wrong with the gops campaign structure if the partys presidential nominee and the house majority leader cannot rely on their pollsters. joining me now from atlanta is founder of citizen politics patricia murphy and correspondent for the uptimes, josh barrel. >> the problem is that data doesnt vote. people vote....

The time, vote like shock troops. gop, older white voters who show up even if its a special election for dog catcher. those are the people who are going to decide elections. who doesnt vote are those people who are least likely. they show up maybe during a presidential on year, almost never in a mid-term and never ever during a special election like this. what democrats have to do is change that behavior over time. they have to show that every election matters, that these issues matter and that ...
