0 the democrats' performance or lack thereof in washington, but democrats know how to stick together and they back the president's policies and unite behind their candidates. i mean, they've all but anointed hillary clinton to be their presidential candidate in 2016. they're pretty good at blaming republicans. but you know who else is good at beating up republicans? other republicans. and as chris christie and rand paul recently showed, the gop can't seem to get out of its own way. >> senator paul want to start look writing he's going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start looking cutting the pork barrel spending he brings home to kentucky. >> this is the king of bacon talking about bacon. he wants to be this great champion of national defense. what does he want to do shut down military bases in kentucky? we have to patch things up. he wants to break bread and see if we can find common ground. i think it would help the party to not have us feuding. roo grassroots movement. generally, people want to see the republicans take a stand on it. general view if they won't stand when it's time to de-fund it, then they definitely won't stand to repeal it. i think there's this lingering general distrust the grassroots movement has -- no offense, sean. >> none taken. >> the grassroots have with the republican party and feel there are things they've compromised before and when it comes to the discussion of compromise in washington d.c. it's always it seems republicans have to give up the most and democrats the least. >> is it because republicans only have one-half of the house? they've got the house but they don't have the senate, they don't have the white house. the fact is you have to own the moving parts if you want to call the shots. >> elections have consequences. we have 3 million republicans that didn't go out and vote this election. we lost swing states by a couple politics towards it and get in a position if you win the next election you'll have something to talk about without this pressey fis of shutting down the government. >> i don't know a lot of people would be opposed to that. it seems like an over-ton window approach. let's propose burning it down so to speak. not literally. if we can't get that, what best tactic help us move the bar down the field to our advantage? >> you've seen the house under speaker boehner vote 40 times to de-fund obamacare. the commitment is there. we have one house of one branch. we're doing everything we can. if we want to do this, we need more pieces, as you put it. let's get out in this next election, get us a republican senate and take another piece off the board. the commitment and the will is there, we just need the ability to make it happen. >> if the republicans implode over this and get to the place calling each other name, you're not a real republican, you don't have any guts or courage. >> that's always going to happen. >> i know. doesn't that affect our ability to win and get the senate back next year? >> not necessarily. i think not being perceived as aggressive will hurt us not get back the senate. statistically that could happen. you even have nate silver saying that could happen. i don't generally want to - to -- he's right on this. he is. bottom line, if you look at -- there's been three polls released in the past four or five weeks, the majority of americans, a fox news poll, 57 some odd percent of americans still super unpopular, unworkable. they want to see it defeated in any way possible. >> other than that, it's perfectly fine. we have to take a break. when we come back, we talk about chairman rice priebus who said if you're going to do these biopics of hillary clinton and give her these pieces, we may not do the debates on your network and is there a clash between libertarians and the republican party. stay with us. i'd like to hear from you. go to my website, mikehuckabee.com. or sign up for my facebook page and follow me on twitter. you can find links to that and more at mikehuckabee.com. you know throughout history,
