>> bill: democrat dan kildee joins me. i dont think youre voting for mickey mouse. appreciate your time. does nancy pelosi have your vote? >> she does. at this point in time she is the only candidate running. i think it does say something about where we stand if no member of our caucus is willing to stand up and take on nancy pelosi and offer an alternative. can we expect that leader to deal with donald trump and deal with an administration that well have at times an adversarial relationship wit...
