because they believe that if he does, it could turn the tables on the political strategy going forward and maybe in many ways reshape the american political landscape. with all of that being said, and even though they are confident about the chances here in iowa, they don t believe that tonight is a must-win, but they do acknowledge that if they don t win here tonight, it is a much more uphill climb for them heading into the rest of the democratic nominating contest. dana. that is right, ryan. jake, one of the things that i have been hearing from people not just in the sanders campaign, but unaffiliated democrats here in iowa is that four years ago people saw bernie sanders on the rise, but they saw it as kind of the act of love and passion and not necessarily that he would be the nominee, and in the last few weeks, the people who are watching his campaign, and obviously those who are part of the campaign are seeing him more and more as a nominee. it does not mean he is going to win
its mind, msnbc contributor. charlie, after the nra regained consciousness and got up off the floor, how do you think they reacted to some of the things the president laid out there? which has been pointed out tonight, he articulated much of the obama gun policy. oh, he went to the left of barack obama. i mean, for years the nra was saying that obama and the democrats are going to grab your guns. here you have the president of the united states literally saying, i want to take the guns without due process. i m thinking that the nra might be rethinking the cult of personality approach they ve taken to donald trump, but i think what they re discovering is the danger of getting into bed with somebody who is ignorant of policy, indifferent of nuance and deslowed of any fixed principles. the one thing that they can hope for is that this is going to be a replay of the immigration show where he talked about the act of
that s what jeb bush called the act of love, now the president mirroring it, it seems, in bill of love. so you take care of them. they re productive. they re representing the best of our values, and you shut that off. and you then put in the enforcement piece at the same time that you help them. why do you need to mix in a border wall and all these other provisions that have nothing to do with the circumstances with hundreds of thousands of lives in the balance? that s a great question, chris. the reason is if you say to young people all over the world, if you can get in here, then we re going to allow you to stay here at some point and we re not going to have any kind of measures to make sure that you don t come. that s why it s important to have enforcement in place. so we send the message that, yes, those folks who are here, we re going to give you a special circumstance and allow you to stay here, but we re going to put measures in place that we re not going to encourage more peo
met with donors apparently this morning. can supporters, will they be able to support someone who just is a bad debater? he s not a particularly great candidate either and probably not for these times. you know, the conservative movement, brooke, is always looking for the next reagan. they ve decided they re looking for the next reagan, let s stop picking bushes. just right there, the clip you showed from i guess today, he s out of step with what people in iowa and all across the country in the republican caucuses believe about illegal immigration. that s a deal breaker for many of them, whether it s marco rubio and the gang of eight amnesty, the act of love comments that jeb bush has made. they re out of step. the base may say, but you re going to be a good steward of the domestic economy. i can trust you, you ll dwight isis, put putin in his place. maybe they ll look past it. but so far the deal breakers are haunting people like this who if they don t perform well in debates it exa
released this instagram video hitting jeb bush on the act of love comments last year using his words over undocumented workers, those images and those photos who have been arrested for crimes. many say when it comes to donald trump, all right, this times he s gone so far. does the video go too far? i don t think so. actually to the extent there is a back and forth between jeb bush who personifies the pampered elite and the ruling establishment of the republican party and it benefits trump. i can t really tell you what jeb s position on immigration is. he wrote a book on favor of amnesty and then disavowed he s own book. quickly. human abedin and her husband anthony weiner, crossing the line or should staffers be off limit or fair game? not at all. huma abedin is the only one who has a waiver that allows her to work for a private foundation and consulting company at the same time. choosing the words he did. calling her husband one thing to attack her, somebody argues staffer,
