chip off the old mccain block. we created this side-by-side, a short piece of video. put it up on the screen. here's kiryrsten sinema, thumbs down on minimum wage. there's john mccain, you know, theatrically thumbs down on repeal and replacement of obamacare. do you see some similarities between the two of them? >> it's self-conscious. yeah, absolutely. and you know, the similarities may not be all positive for sinema because you'll recall that mccain, after being his party's presidential nominee in 2008, faced a real primary challenge in 2010 and then mccain had to move to the right to head off that. he disappointed a lot of his friends in the media and progressive politics, especially on his change of tune on immigration. so, you know, mccain has covered the campaign in 2008. we saw him sort of modulate some of his 2000 positions, but the analogy to mccain doesn't necessarily mean that she's always going to be in the center
