texas where the tea party isn't just alive and well, it's increasing in strength. so we need to understand the different regions, the general election is a different electorate than your midterm election, so as we go into to the 2016 election, we have to now contend with three factors, the trumpians, the establishment republicans and any lingering tea partiers. >> what would the trumpians look like in a midterm election? >> i i don't think they would look like anything because i don't think they would turn out. >> the midterm elections, you see them in an announcement being defined by individuals, being defineded by personalities, and trump has taken advantage of that and exploited that more than anyone else. the midterm election where they speak to the republican party as compared to the democratic electorate which has yet to coalesce and be a coalition to turn out. which is why republicans managed
incremental. two steps forward, one step back. women being able to look at the local level. states were allowing women to vote. we saw pushback at the national level and saw women's suffrage nationally come about so perhaps we might see that women forward change. >> i'm hoping the saudis will be rewarded for this liberalization because i think it will do wonders for their economy at a time when oil isn't exactly knocking it out of the park, let's bring out more female consumers and let's do what we can to ignite the economy. >> let's talk about the ten dollar bill. what has happened is they've delayed the decision on the success successor, if you will, to alexander hamilton being on the ten dollar bill. it will be postponed until next year, according to the treasury spokesperson. a lot of folks talking about it, the three of you included.
and a block of conservatives are reportedly trying to drum up some opposition. passing around a new poll that says 60% of republican voters want someone new as speaker. today one right-wing lawmaker talked about it. >> they're frustrated that we just won the biggest election in i don't know maybe american history, but it's at least the biggest in almost 100 years. >> right. >> and at the end of the day, we're governing as though we just lost and enabling the president to continue trashing the constitution. >> mark doesn't this show that boehner's problems with the tea party isn't going away? >> no, i think you're absolutely right. he's facing a mutiny. republicans are voicing dissatisfaction. this doesn't often happen with the speaker of the house. so let's wonder aloud here who is in charge of the republican
arrested for malpractice. it was not a well run campaign. he had a tremendous amount of financial advantages. he never knew it was coming. there are lots of things he could have done to win this race and i think to a certain extent, voters have sent a loud signal. >> conservatives were hoping that it would have the momentum to push a tea party backed kond to have a real chance to take back the majority, but that has a -- looks like kevin mccarthy was favored to win. that the tea party isn't as strong at the moment than would like to believe. >> thanks for having me and i left tea party express but, i'm still in the movement. i don't think that it's a clear path for mccarthy. the reason that cantor was in the leadership position he was in was because in 2010, the tea party movement gave them the
skepticism about their integrity. it's funny to see how both have responded, though. neither one has really risen to the occasion and owned up to it, right? rand paul, in the case of the plagiarism accusations has come out and said, well, you know, it was a minor attribution thing and then as more and more reports started coming out, including from buzz feed, you heard him say, what am i going to be in detention for the rest of my career? which is really kind of a childish way to respond. but then in president obama's case, he's now trying to lawyer it as governor christie said. he's trying to say, well, this isn't exactly what i meant. the period was actually more of a comma and i added more caveats on after. so really i think we could see both of these men would benefit from just owning up to the mistakes and moving on. >> angela, this is what ron fournier of the national journal wrote yesterday. he wrote, worse lines have been told by worse presidents. but this president is toying with a fragile commodity, his credibility. once americans stop believing in
letterman invited nancy pelosi to deliver the top ten list. the top ten things you don't know about the house of representatives. >> every month, we're tested for steroids. [ laughter ] >> tax dollars. number 2? >> we have the power to impeach talk show hosts. [ laughter ] >> really. for god's sake, what are you waiting for? and the number 1 thing you never knew about the house of representatives -- >> the tea party isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. >> well, yeah. >> that makes sense, i think. particularly for her, i'm sure. coming up, more results from election day 2013. including the first east coast city to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. and the mayor of toronto, finally admitting that he smoked crack cocaine. so will he be stepping down?
-- >> but the tea party closed that gap because of obama care. >> wait a second. this cycle, the republican party spent $3 million. if anything, it shows how effective we are. and we are going to be an important factor in 2014. we are not going away. and we have raised awareness because of the defund obama care effort, we have raised the awareness of obama care. otherwise that whole shutdown thing would have been about how much we were going to allow president obama to spend. >> is that harmful to the republican party if the tea party isn't going anywhere or are they still welcome? >> we don't have the numbers in the republican party to be able to set forth one to say to the other, take a hike.
he opposed the investments and transportation that the business community wants in virginia. >> and another sort of kiss of death for governor christie is the phone call that he took. congratulatory phone call he accepted from the president of the united states. so that's another thing that the tea party is going to have -- >> you know it was a funny night. it was the night of grudging concession speeches. barbara buono in new jersey, cuccinelli, this tea party guy in alabama. who wouldn't even endorse the opponent who beat him. it reminded me of a guy who lost a primary in california for the state assembly, dick tuck, who said the people have spoken oh the blankety-blank. at least he was funny. >> and i have to grudgingly say goodbye to you, professor bob shrum and matt lewis in washington. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. coming up, the quick fix to every glitch. hit reboot. kathleen sebelius today attempted to do just that. we'll talk to one of the senators she faced on capitol hill when we come back.
casualty of that. the tea party isn't the answer. >> kristen, it's interesting that the last time if you look at '98 to 2000. and you had this tension, nervousness mooning outside d.c. republicans about how republicans were running the house. house republicans didn't lose control of the house, but they somehow didn't win seats, they lost seats and it helped bush unite the establishment and kind of hold off the conservatives. is that scenario possible where the tea party takes the blame for the 2014 debackal and the -- >> you can take a look at this recent shutdown and say there's a lot of people assigning blame to the tea party. >> ted cruz will say, hey, this is a failure because mcconnell and didn't -- >> we have not had the consistent si on why which lost the shutdown debacle. if there's no agreement on why we lost, then there can't be an agreement on how we move
responsible democrats and republicans to team up together. more than 40 republicans have voted two out of three times for -- on republican leadership side when baper allowed votes in the past. that path is possible if the speaker feels emboldened after this battle. >> let me play devil's advocate. one of the questions, we have this bipartisan committee that is supposed to work on a budget deal. i think people are incredibly skeptical as we're discussing right now, sounds like the tea party isn't going anywhere. harry reid was asked if republicans want to trim social security, medicare or medicaid, they would have to give on tax revenue and exchange. asked specifically if the deal must be revenue for entitlements, reid said yes and call it mandatories. bloomberg review, government should give up on tax question, the thing republicans will die on.
