Tenth moderating force republican party out there. >> the interesting thing too again, look -- if the other number you can see on this, you can see how skewed this is towards business and corporate taxes and even among republicans, there is not a huge ground swell of support for if that. they like the idea of tax cuts and polls well with republicans, but the idea of corporate and business tax cuts does not, and i think what that speaks to is you talk about this as sort of goldwater, reagan theme...

Picture. >> steve, how do they square this? this is just an ongoing problem for republicans. its the same problem that sort of sunk them on health care and that is that there isnt one big tenth moderating force republican party out there. >> the interesting thing too again, look -- if the other number you can see on this, you can see how skewed this is towards business and corporate taxes and even among republicans, there is not a huge ground swell of support for if that. they like the idea of t...

Says that a mexican american judge could not be impartial because he was mexican american. this is a history of this president. he is the president of saying and acting in a matter that is racist, so i do stand by my statements. im sure he doesnt consider himself a racracist, but everytg weve seen every time he has an opportunity to prove otherwise for example like today, he has not. very simple. you can condemn these nazis, say you dont want them in your party, but he does not because he knows ...

Its not a question they dont want to. they just refuse to. brian: why are they protecting people breaking the law. >> its political. they feel they have a voting base that they think is going to side with their elections when they come up, ultimately, what they are doing is harboring criminals, and just recently in suffolk county there was about 36 sex offenders all arrested, who are illegal immigrants. so, this isnt about illegal immigrants. its about criminals who happen to be illegal immigran...

Quickening of toxicity in the republican voting base, and i think thats what you saw play out in montana, was that gianforte ended up with better fundraising numbers after this and largely voters didnt rebuke him. so i think you are seeing what michelle said, which is a weirdness, and its an our team versus their team kind of thing. but thats definitely something that trump running in 2016 really brought out and his voting base embraced. >> michelle fields, it was wonderful to see you. thank you...
