mcconnell's plan. i won't reveal the content. we had a long discussion. to his credit he didn't ask me to change my disagreement with him on his plan. but i'm concerned that there -- senators demint, rubio, rand paul, they are saying no way to the mcconnell plan. i'm concerned democrats will support. i don't think house republicans will support it. do you see the danger in having that as a last minute option hanging out there? >> i think we should take this fight to the american people. and challenge the president to be for something. he's for a big deal but won't tell us what the big deal is. we put the ultimate big deal on the table. balanced budget amendment to the constitution that requires both parties to stop spending like drunken sailors. senator mcconnell is a good man. he's trying to find a political solution to what he perceives to be a political problem. the election want about politics, it was about the future of our country.
