Some very left oriented congressmen and congresswoman getting elected, but a lot of moderates were really the key to the democratic victory. the problem solvers caucus and others that really represent a desire to move the party to the center and to have a compromise. theyre not getting the headlines. they did get rules changes, but not headlines. neil: so let me ask you, mark. could a bill clinton in this party now get nominated now? >> you know, were going to see that. i think just when we thou...

Matter where they come from. in that spirit, democrats will be offering the senate republican appropriations legislation to reopen government later today. >> so you have two years of democrats taking over the house. >> trace: kristina, what sort of rules changes is speaker pelosi bringing to the house? >> quite a list of rule changes. they want to modernize the house. some of them come from naming the committees different names. you have what members can wear on the house floor. you have obamaca...

Some time now. the 290 signers on any bill should be able to get it to the floor. and what that means is whether youre the tea party caucus, when the republican control it or the progressive caucus as the democrats control it, broad, bipartisan supported legislation get voted on and passed and we can break the gridlock. steve: now, there was something like this that went through your town, washington, d.c., back in the 120s, right? >> well, thats right. you see the constitution requires that the...

Speaker and leadership want to pass rules changes the freedom caucus doesnt like. what they have as leverage is simply their caucus vote of 40 to say if he passes these rules changes, we arent going to vote for him. they are negotiating and doing fancy footwork now in order to prevent rules changes like vacate the chair motion which was the motion that led to speaker boehners downfall. >> sounds like the type of thing we have heard before. >> posturing? what? >> harumphing. posturing. mary kathe...

Work? >> not high. slim to none and slim just left the bar. listen, its a tough, tough haul here. what i think ryan has done is met the challenge. he was supposedly the only person who could do this. if he refused to try, then it would not play well with him but he sat down some demands. he didnt articulate them in enough detail to know exactly how they will play with the freedom caucus. my guess is hell get his unanimous vote or close to it ahead of the vote, commitment ahead of the vote and he...

He didnt articulate them in enough detail to know exactly how they will play with the freedom caucus. my guess is hell get his unanimous vote or close to it ahead of the vote, commitment ahead of the vote and hell string out rules changes so they wont tie his hands. but he still faces the reality that a desertion of a modest number of the new radicals could -- will force him to get democratic support to keep account lights on. >> yeah, this is a key point. one of the things thats being negotiate...

Virginia last year would have become a 9-4 romney triumph. this is part of a trend. republicans thanks to the wave elections of 2010 control governorships in a number of big blue states. now, with the gops national chairman cheering them on, republicans in many of the states are talking more and more about pursuing similar rules changes. the effect could be massive. currently, two states, maine and nebraska, award electoral votes by congressional districts. only once in nebraska in 2008 resulted...

That wouldnt change the rule is as much but also wouldnt be the majority forcing its will on the minority. what is going to happen? s there going to be filibuster reform and what kind? >> at thursdays caucus we had a briefing. there are three groups of senators that have been working on three different proposals for rules changes. it was put before the democrats for the first time on thursday. and we listened to it. i think there are some changes that can be made on a bipartisan basis. i will th...
