Even if i personally want the budget to pass, i don't need to go out and vote for it myself. i certainly think that's what mitch mcconnell is up to. he has a strong primary challenge from the right. he can't afford to associate himself with this budget. i think that's why unlike john boehner he's not voting for it and whipping for it. i'd be shocked if this doesn't pass the senate. >> there is a bigger picture to all of this which is sort of what all the fuss is about, which is this budget deal. here's elijah cummings take on it today. >> people want us to applaud when we do what we're suppose...

It looks to me the majority of republicans in the senate are poised not to support it. i know there are some i have read in the paper that are looking to support it. some names we have seen surfacing are obvious and other ones are somewhat surprising that will be voting against it. the list on the republican side voting against it is a larger list. it is clear that there will be a very, very tight vote in the senate. there will probably be six or seven senators who will support it and they are coming out today. i think you will hear more tomorrow. that means they still need a couple more votes...

>> it does not appear very good right now because of the calendar and because of how many other things are on congress's plate. they got to get through this issue with the budget. there's the farm bill and all the implications of that and what would happen to milk prices if it doesn't pass. what i'm being told is conversations are still going on between speaker boehner's office, white house, democrats to look at the issue how to extend benefits for people out of work the longest. where do you find the money for that? that is a challenge. do you simply tack it on to the deficit. republicans won...

Bill. >> are you saying a vote against the bill is against the troops and veterans? >> i would say that a vote against senator gillebrand's bill is a bad political move. i think the american people are watching. >> do you think that we're going to see broader institutional reforms inside the pentagon if this legislation passes? and if it doesn't pass is there hope that something changings other than this legislative solution or is this it? >> there are always other solutions, there is no silver bullet. but at a minimum we have to make sure that the military criminal justice system is as unbias...
