Place. at least for house republicans to say, look, we want to raise the debt ceiling for six weeks, and we want to do it in a clean manner and come to some type of budget negotiations, that is progress. on the other hand, the government shutdown has not been addressed at all. tamron, i know you were just recently playing up that gallup poll, which shows the republican partys favorability is at an all-time low. thats come as the government has been shutdown. this shutdown has take an toll on the...

>> we will not go to conference with a gun to our head. >> this is ridiculous. >> i think its a disgrace. >> this is nuts. >> now, president obama phoned top congressional leaders last night urging them to pass a budget. >> i talked to the president earlier tonight. im not going to negotiate. im not going to negotiate. im not going to do this. well, i would say to the president, this is not about me. and its not about republicans here in congress. its about fairness for the american people. >> y...

Very few of them who are left were not successful in derailing this whole process. the open question is whether or not frankly there are some conservatives, or those on the other side of the republican caucus who vote no because this doesnt go far enough in what they want to do. so this is the two wings of the party that john boehner is dealing with. but big picture, assuming this goes planned with the republican house leadership, yes, this gets kicked back to the senate and they have promised t...

A yes or no, full well that theyll be accurate. the reason is because the senate majority leader harry reid wanted to start the ball rolling today. he was not allowed to do that. ted cruz and mike lee that no, we want the vote tomorrow as planned. so that will happen. then it will go to the house. theyve already announced the republican leaders there that they will bring the house in. probably should not be surprising but you never know. on saturday and possibly sunday. the open question is how ...

Expected to play out. by november theyll complete inspections of all of syrias chemical weapons sites and also by november, complete the destruction of the mixing and production facilities for these chemical weapons and by the middle of 2014 have the complete elimination, so says the deal, of all of syrias chemical weapons. that, of course, all those goal posts along the way provide multiple opportunities for syria to delay. the first test is going to be next week. by next week, they have to del...

Go. thats why i think the president made a strong case for this strike, he doesnt want to say hes going to go ahead with it if congress says no. he was sort of signaling, not totally clear, thats not what he wanted to do. he said this wasnt a symbolic practice where he put this before congress. he talked to observers and they think if president obama gets both chambers saying no that he may not go ahead with the strike. this will be devastating to his presidency but theres the open question. if ...

Went into this decision. theres no question that the fact that members of congress, members of his own party, and im told some of the more moderate democrats who dont tend to be anti-war said to administration officials yesterday afternoon on a conference call, hold on a second. if youre not racing to go ahead and strike militarily like you didnt do it yesterday, then theres no rush then you should come to congress and get an authorization before going forward. absolutely, there was pressure fro...

This is a big issue this week for these black leaders. >> including some of eric holders speeches you have to show i.d. look, it should be totally uncontroversial to have to show i.d. to vote. whether that means that the states should take it upon themselves to provide more funding to make sure that everybody has the opportunity to get ids, thats, i think, an open question. voting is such a fundamental right that even in times of tight budgets you would find some conservatives who would be willi...

Beautifully because he has this image of the tough talker and the straight talker and the guy who shoots from the hip. but when you think about him not just in this area in the naked political calculation which by the way, not only is there no chance this guy is going to win, but christie insured by setting the election date that any republican nominee had no chance of winning. when you look at issue of an issue, hes very hard to nail down. where does he stand on gun rights exactly? hes sort of ...

Something that the democrats didnt think they could win with. he wins by bringing out black voters, hauck income, vass, they think they changed the map that way. theyre pretty hard-nosed about how they can hold a house too and theyre right. if every district that had less than -- more than 25% hispanic votes that republicans hold now if they lost although theyd have the house. now, they gerrymandered in a way so they have mostly white strongholds, low minority populations where they can make it ...
