To say i tried. any. the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. we have seen this twice already. nothing has really changed. the same players are making the same moves. and you re not going to see collins or murkowski turn around on this. i am the optimist. i think you can get murkowski and rand paul becomes a key. james, you followed this relationship. how much of this would a psychiatrist is john mccain unable to see his friend lindsey graham achieve the great legislative achievement in 20 years that eluded john mccain. that s a good question. obviously lindsey and john are so close. two of the three amigos. mccain doesn t like donald
Who s very close with lindsey/graham. they re best friends in the senate. they talk all the time. mccain doesn t seem to be wanting to get out there criticizing graham. at the same time, he hasn t kicked open the door to potentially voting for this. instead, repeating when he s asked about it that he wants regular order. now, this bill is officially going through a regular order, but it s very unusual that you would have something like this pop up that controls a sixth of the economy. i think that s where mccain is coming from on this. earliest we might see a vote on this. it s likely we ll get a hearing on monday. they need to pass it by september 30th. i think you would see it go to the floor on tuesday, vote on wednesday. democrats might try to delay it but they don t have that many tools available to them. kasie hunt for us on the hill. enjoy the weekend. thank you. let s bring in the washington post columnist, also the author of amy book called one nation after trump, e.j. deon, also a
Individuals who don t want to be arrested. they don t cooperate and they don t want to walk. i think you re using the words yelling as if in pain as a speculation. it could have also been yelling to bring the crowd to make attention to his arrest. all right. that s going to be the police line as for now. ms.s a aston, what do you make of that suggestion of him not wanting to be arrested but him playing to the crowd? well i think most people don t want to be arrested in that situation. as far as we can tell we don t know actually what he did other than they say the police made eye contact with him and he ran. we haven t heard anything that he had drugs on him or that he was purchasing drugs. so i don t think it takes six officers to take someone that small and then he has bodily injuries. so yes, everybody would make a scene because they want attention brought to the fact that they might get hurt. and they want someone to see that that s happening.
worst possible candidate. he s talking about foreign policy. absolutely. and they have a history. they do have a history. go from isis to iraq or anything that might call for american intervention or possibility of boots on the ground. and john mccain is unhappy with president obama on a lot of this. rand paul he sees someone who would take america to an isolationist position. senator mccain also has a very good friend coming into the race in senator lindsey graham who s really trying to occupy that kind of foreign policy national security lane. but you can t get sort of two more different guys than rand paul and john mccain on national security. john mccain still very much sees himself as sort of the leader and the voice of the party on these issues. and mccain doesn t back away from a fight. right. and rand paul picked one with him. that s what you re going to see. he does not forget. we ve all gotten to know him well over the years. he doesn t forget. maggie let me ask you something. the clinton book was widely dismissed about the money that
Beliefs on this. i mean, the world changes and mccain doesn t. i think he is sort of proudly old fashioned. in some ways that served him well, in other ways we can admire that. i saw the segment you did about the ads, and for the need to negotiate with people you don t agree with. and mccain, in the senate, is very much one of those people. but not so much when it comes to foreign policy. i don t think he will be changing his tune on this. i agree, i think it is genuinely felt. but what is so significant to me about this new kind of charm offensive for iran, iran represents the bid bad guy, the neocons have trained their eyes on him. what does it do to that entire movement and architecture of war-mongering, essentially, if you actually get a kind of iranian deal? it would destroy it. and chris, even before that, there was the famous line that real men go to tehran when bush set his sights on iraq.
Like. and you know, he has never been sort of able to shake his believes on this. i mean, the world changes and mccain doesn t. i think he is sort of proudly old fashioned. in some ways that served him well, in other ways we can admire that. i saw the segment you did about the ads, and for the need to negotiate with people you don t agree with. and mccain, in the senate, is very much one of those people. but not so much when it comes to foreign policy. i don t think he will be changing his tune on this. i agree, i think it is genuinely felt. but what is so significant to me about this new kind of charm offensive for iran, iran represents the bid bad guy, the neocons have trained their eyes on him. what does it do to that entire movement and architecture of

Attack on u.n. ambassador susan rice. mccain is accusing rice of not kel telling the truth about the attacks on our consulate in libya. of course rice s statements matched up with the intelligence community s talking points at that time. but mccain doesn t care about that. he s promising to block her if she s nominated to be secretary of state. problem is his fellow senate republicans are refusing to follow his lead. they re refusing to make the same threat against the president s nominees. he needs to nominate who he thinks will best do the job, and i have no prejudgment of anyone who he would potentially nominate. i wouldn t want to prejudge it. i d have to wait and see who they appoint. and mccain s buddy joe lieberman doesn t get what the big deal is, by the way. as i look at what we now know the intelligence community was saying that week and i look at
Become a bipartisan yet in the skepticism you hear from lindsey graham and john mccain. it s a clear division between the two sides it s divided the three amigos. even senator lieberman who normally sides with senator graham and mccain doesn t have the same view on this stuff. we don t see foreign policy scandals huge issues sustain unless members of the president s own party raises question. mike rogers has questions, lindsey graham. i believe the administration if it has as strong a case as it does, secretary clinton should brief them in private, public would be better, she would make more progress in private, to let them know what the facts are. chris cizilla, what about hillary clinton trying to put this to rest for the administration when, in fact, she could have testified in the first place or not testified, could have come on the sunday talk shows but it was not something she does and it was a
Magazine covers. one from a month ago and one from this week. very, very clever of that magazine to do this. look on the left. why don t they like me? and then this week, after iowa so, you like me now? kiki mclean, weigh in on this. kind of interesting. when you pair that up with, i don t know what the strength of one editorial says. it s almost what it doesn t say. favorite son. almost favorite son moment here. kind of doesn t matter what romney gets. underneath this it demonstrates what newt gingrich has said. which is the republicans and conservatives don t feel confident in what they re going to ge with mitt romney. that s why they re not willing to coalesce and go there. that s a problem for him in the primaries. that could also be a problem for him as a nominee.
