Every one.
To Mitch McConnell the senate Republican leader on whether that is all working senator aggregate that you thank you don't gonna billionaire Tom Petty things that's going bad it's kinda but I don't -- -- say senator that reverse.
A little bit of 1980s.
Where I was conservative tried to comedy moderates now it's a moderate trying to com.
And bring in conservatives is it working.
Lot of drama to a data to be -- -- thank everybody from mild one wing of the party to the -- you know bottom wanted to defeat Barack Obama.
It's it's pretty clear after the three public polls it will release right before convention and that Mitt Romney I don't presenter and it did you raise.
-- Rhonda thank -- a lot of the ticket not only -- of this Robin toss intelligence and his generation.
-- -- You know it's well balanced in every way both generational lent some argue philosophically.
You think Mitt Romney response tonight since the music -- The elevator music -- stuff out there I would wants to know.
Well of that when.
Hello my second favorite felt my favorite was the Obama posters dedicated the impact of that back into a bedroom but he grew up were acquitted but it did Obama I was -- my daughter's -- that's gonna -- -- but it EST -- It's -- -- to -- at the white as a Republican hands but you've been working very hard to try to get the senate Republican hands because it's the senate.
That will have a big role did it in in overturning the president's health care to -- -- And because the Supreme Court -- Much of what we're talking about here how.
It's a simple majority vote sort of dismantle -- ranks you're correct so.
But you need those 51 we do we do indeed and we feel we have an obligation and American people to repeal.
The single biggest mistake that's been made in modern times and it was obamacare as a single biggest step in the direction European -- in the country.
What you get 51 votes on the individual mandate have.
Good declared attacks by the Chief Justice it is eligible for a process that we have in the -- in the wake of the budget.
That can't be done with 51 vote at fifteen liquidity and on my parliamentary ignorance but it if you had fifties and -- -- the vice president as the tiebreaking vote as Al Gore was to Bill Clinton's.
Exactly and if -- read on everybody's state a lot of asset at all but it they would because all obamacare there are no differences among Republicans.
From Maine to the south to the west we all voted against -- we all thought it was a horrendous mistake for the -- We may have some divisions on some issues but does have one problem.
-- it looks like the Missouri senate seat that looked like historic things.
Might not take.
And keep that is the case.
Does the -- get more problematic it's.
I think it's 5050 with -- without Missouri we have a lot of shots a lot of opportunities there bunch of their seats we have great chance to the North Dakota and Montana Nebraska even losing Missouri you could still feel it's not helpful if not helpful but.
Who we still have -- -- opportunities for pick up.
I don't think we're gonna lose any sleep we currently have you need a -- -- -- -- get the 51.
I think we've still got up at least a 5050 shots may be better -- -- the congress and doesn't step down is there any.
Legal effort that could be ticket of course you know it's entirely up to him as to whether or not you want to go forward snacking gets elected.
He will be less inclined to work with you wouldn't thank you -- these certainly agrees that we ought to repeal obamacare I can't imagine he would want to do -- -- to prevent us from repealing.
All of the legislation we can that was passed in the first two years when the president his people on the whole government lock stock and barrel and did everything they wanted to.
Going forward from this I knew you got a press -- sentence I appreciate it -- you go right to the Democratic Convention so whatever doubts Republicans gets.
Could be very short lives right.
Do you worry about that that is comradery -- cohesive you got going here has sort of frittered away amid the hoopla of the democrats' convention who knows -- you know.
They're they're not a whole lot of undecideds out there I don't know how much of a bounce neither side will get coming out of conventions usually the biggest -- of the -- when you have a large number of undecided voter -- We think they're pretty small number of undecided voters.
I think the water level going in division president because it was -- even.
I'll bet you within a few weeks -- be no worse than dead even we could actually improve our position and remember it's the national polls are not.
-- important you.
It's quarter of the what is the survey data and then later ten states that are gonna like Louis president knows -- -- very competitive you don't really pointed that out IDR all of this the battleground states are within one or two points.
I was so -- Those early today senators said and -- -- understate -- elected conservative support so a good many of those states might be rocky ride states now.
Hard to say.
But do you think that this could break what's at 1980 phenomena for Ronald Reagan those loopholes of flows going all the way all the -- -- -- something breaks.
For the dominant -- up one of two point seven kind in those swing states.
To swing it.
I doubt it no one knows how doubted I think the president the current president for much more formidable political -- -- and Jimmy Carter losses.
But who knows what's gonna happen a couple of months ago most novelists like this is -- -- dogfight right down the -- unlike 2002004.
With a few votes in in a very few -- determining who sits on why don't we'll put senator thank you very much thank you do their credits get.
