i think republicans have failed, they make these very conservative promises. people's expectations go up. they're really going to do it this time and then they wimp out and back down. >> this is an increde bable opportunity. dr. carson's right. i think for the first time in a long time, they're the real chance here. i think many republicans said they felt it was a waste of time, but now, because the democrats have made it really easy. they're not particularly compelling. the state of america is in crisis. black employment, as high as ever. the crime in black communities, rampant. >> if you look at democratic breakouts of people who have supported obama, they are faired far worse under his policy, yet many support him. >> we can argue as to whether that's obama's fault, but that's over. put some specifics on the bones and really stick to that agenda.
