Lily is agreeing with everything you just said. >> theres two points i want to make. we cant be complacent with where we are with women. the u.s. ranks 78th in the world in female representation and in public office. so thats embarrassing. being a super power that we are, were ranking 74th. when it comes to the gop or democrats alike, theres a math issue on both sides. so i want to be a little bit fair because the gop does have latino and women representation as governors that gets used as a num...

Theyre much happier with 400 and 450. steve israel was on your network earlier today. he said as much, it is nice to give it as a concession, but i frankly wanted it to be a higher level. diane feinstein said the same thing, chuck schumer, there is a huge amount of democrats that dont want taxes to kind of rise on this upper middle class that makes between 200 and $400,000, this is the circle they run with. this is not a cave, a kind of fake cave in that sense. >> okay, well, "huffington post" c...
