Also yesterday the rnc voted to damaticry overhaul their presidents nomination process condensing the primary calendar. the idea is not to have another endlessly dragged out fight that bloodies the ultimate nominee, like we saw with mitt romney in 2012. in 2016, first primary season contest is scheduled for february. a month later than in 2012. only four states will be permitted to hold elections that month. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. the other 46 must wait until after march...

Reason why it got more coverage than the other, though ill predict to you flatly, if hillary does run for president, and during the democratic nomination process, and if she is the nominee during the general election process, youre going to see far more on benghazi in 2016 than you ever saw in 2012. >> i dont know about that. i dont know. but you could be right. rick, what do you think? >> i think larry just nailed it, said exactly what was on my mind you have to put some reference to the timing...

>> that he would mischaracterize the democratic party that way. we got a lot of news. lets slam a couple of more stories. some republicans are looking to make big changes to their 2016 primary process. the rnc is ready to give its schedule in an attempt to a dirty nomination process. republicans who support the idea said it would allow the eventual nominee more time to fund-raise but some oppose say this will fund a well established candidate over a grassroots conservative. the changes are up ...

Travel around the country, go to places that maybe they didnt need to go in the end. and they passed a package of rules today, almost unanimously, abbreviating the whole primary process. this is what party chairman reince priebus said today after they passed the rules. listen to this. >> we have been saying for months that we were no longer going to sit around and allow ourselves to slice and dice for six months, participate in a circus of debates. but we were going to take hold once again of ou...
