>> scott walker. i'll close with this. south carolina closed a bitter polarizing chapter in its history on friday. the way it happened should serve as a powerful example. the confederate flag was lowered and removed from the statehouse grounds in a ceremony that was graceful and respectful. and the republican governor who pushed to make it happen and happen quickly says she now wants to lead her state in the conversation about race and about tolerance. without a doubt nikki haley is a new national voice in gop politics. somebody now sure to make the list of potential vice presidential in a party that after all has an obvious problem winning support from nonwhite voters. but watch her in the months ahead and see how she handles this new spotlight. as we do maybe the competing players in some other big debates like gun control and immigration to name two could learn something from south carolina. the flag debate once seemed just as intractable, if not more so. sometimes, respectful conversations lead to surprising consensus. wishful thinking no doubt, but you don't know. if you don't try. that's it for "inside politics."
