Therefore i dont think the republicans were going to come to the middle and say you give us that cut in the enadvertisements, and well give you a little more taxes. i dont think there was any more give on either of those, not just the taxes. i dont think the republicans ever deep down wanted to cut the entitlements because there is no politics in it there just isnt. >> i think that some of the republicans do. the ones i would disagree with you on are people like paul ryan, who have a very dock s...

Accusing of harassment being whiney. that said, i think the past will be out there any time she runs for office, the past will be out there. did not prevent her from becoming a senator. i dont think the clinton past necessarily is what derailed her in 2008. maybe in 2016 it will make a difference. especially if they were to get to a general election. we havent seen the republicans run a race against her. we dont know how effective thats going to be but karl rove and some of the others are worrie...

Cooperation without the action? >> well, most people know that rhetoric does not pass an immigration bill. rhetoric does not increase the minimum wage. john boehner talks a good game, but at the end of the day he has not produced, not once has he produced. he promised an immigration bill. now hes saying no immigration bill. he says that he wants to help increase jobs, hes against increasing the minimum wage and will not pass an infrastructure bill. >> and yet let me take a look at this historica...
