Folks say that he is at threat of losing his speakership. is that possible? are republicans angry that hes making concessions to democrats? >> you know, thats a great question. and i think the bottom line is that politics a lot of times, particularly in both parties, its sometimes like a dysfunctional family. and so clearly the republicans have been fighting a bit particularly between the tea party and the more establishment type moderate minded republicans. i think that there have always been r...

Feistier and feistier. >> im going to push back when he says things that are ugly and will damage our brand. im sure he attacks me, im going the fight back. >> he could ignore trump or engage. >> look how uncomfortable he looks. body posture is hunched up. i think hes making the classic establishment type of mistake. when you see a grass roots kind of movement that isnt supportive of you. instead of drawing the lessons saying they are upset about illegal immigration, they want to kill that movem...
