homes. there should be no intervention whatsoever. there shouldn t be any adjustments on those mortgages. just let them go. really marie antoinette attitude toward it. and it s also a call to destroy the united states of america. just think if they had been president instead of franklin roosevelt during the great depression. do nothing! we d still be in it. not only would we still be in it, but would we have handled world war ii? well, surrender would be one option, just not entering it at all, i guess, would be the other. let canada go do it, i guess, right? yeah. i think the american people get this. obama, i don t think he has much to worry about. i think he s winning every one of these debates. these guys keep staking out these right-wing positions, repeatedly. they basically keep loading up the obama campaign with video of romney, who s going to be the nominee, staking out these wildly right-wing positions. right. no. can i say one positive thing
to be rebuilt, no doubt about that. but you can t name the third one? the third agency of government? i would do away with education, the commerce. commerce. and let s see i can t. the third one i can t. sorry. oops. i said at the end of rick perry s first debate that he had destroyed his candidacy by attacking social security. he could not possibly beat president obama by attacking social security if he ever got to be the nominee and he probably couldn t win the republican nomination with that attack on social security. tonight, he just lost all hope of even being considered for the vice presidential nomination. the party cannot afford to send that man into a debate with joe biden. joining me now is msnbc analyst steve schmidt. he is the former senior adviser to the mccain/palin campaign, and a senior strategist in the
