African-american community, its leaders, his non-busing related record on civil rights. youve seen people like jim clyburn defending him. is there a risk that that, what has been a -- the bedrock of the african-american voting community slips away from him if he sort of doesnt get this narrative back under control? >> yeah, i think so, kasie. just because -- and we all know this here. just because youre african-american doesnt mean its a monolithic vote. you have young african-americans, older a...

A lot of people know about the accusations that have been extremely well publicized against donald trump, the interviews and sit downs, and this was a massive campaign issue talked about for hours on end and not just across the country, but in the conservative voting community as well. this was something that was talked about to the point where i was exhausted having every show be about it for days on end. >> i remember "access hollywood" being talked about, but i dont remember hearing from the ...

Conway who would have been the young handsome up and coming democrat of kentucky because he lost to tea party candidate matt bevan. despite the happy story that democrat will tell about implementing obamacare in kentucky, there are still gaps in communicating with that voting community. >> mary catherine, ruth, jeff, thank you so much. he says the only way to deal with obamacare is a full repeal and replace, not changing it piece by piece. so, what does kentuckys rand paul think of the current...

Trafling with the president and joins us live. and without being overt about it, did the president intend to send a little message to the romney campaign with his visit today? >> reporter: well, it was interesting, martin. president obama never mentioned mitt romney by name but he seemed to be trying to send him a message as well as to the voting community highlighting what he sees as his largest foreign policy achievement, ending the war in iraq. this is something he promised to do when he was ...
