for some time. so that s a very positive step. i think what you ll see from him is a short-term solution, and then later on a long-term exclusion on deportations. i think you ll see some of the deportations curbed and more families being able to stay together. but all of that is just a bridge measure. ultimately the congress has got to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and republicans have got to allow a vote on it. it would pass if they did. and it s clear that the majority of americans, overwhelming majority want this to pass. congressman, do you think that the republicans are blocking you on this, because they now realize after the midterms that it would give a leg up to democratic candidates, if the administration and congress achieved something on immigration, this close to the midterm elections? oh, i think as this, with many other issues, they see everything that might happen here at the capitol as a victory, a potential victory for the president. and they want to deny
interestingly the corbett campaign put a lot of ads out in the spring about corbett. it didn t move the numbers one bit. the only thing they have going is a very good media consultant that will go negative. but as allison schwartz learned, tom is a difficult guy to run negative ads against. when they came at him with $2 million of negatives all it did is go through the roof. he s such a good guy it s hard for people to believe anything bad about him. what s going on with tom corbett s approval ratings? i remember talking to you when he was about to replace you in 2010. you said flat out even though there was a live candidate in the race you said tom corbett will win by a mile and he did. now he has the worst approval ratings in the country. what happened? well, he did some things that were terrible. he cut a billion dollars out of public education the first year. he s tried to make up for that
military. the military dreamers are unable to serve in uniform because of their immigration status. some members of congress are trying to change that. there are a group of people, these dream act students, who if given the opportunity would do well in our u.s. military academies, who would serve the only country they ve ever called home. i m joined now by congressman castro from capitol hill. and here s one of the military dreamers. thanks, and welcome. great to see you here. i want to ask the congressman first, you got blocked by the republican leadership in trying to get the enlist act into an amendment on the floor as part of the defense authorization. where do you go next? a stand-alone bill? do you have any assurance of getting this into legislative action? sure, andrea. we ll try to get the senate to put it in the defense authorization bill, and hopefully it will come over to the house.
you don t have in some of these key senate rates the republican candidates that democrats might have wanted to run against. that is true in the senate races. and i know in our house races, where i m chairing some of our most important races and paying attention to them, what we do have still is a stark contrast between democrats and republicans in the congress. when i look at our candidates who are red-to-blue candidates in the house, what i see are people who are problem solvers, who want to get beyond this mess that s going on in washington, and the entrenchment that s in there, and want to create jobs and opportunities for the middle class. republicans have not been focused on the middle class. the ryan budget points to that. i think our candidates have a very strong message going into november, to show the difference between the republicans who shut down the government, and want to end medicare. and democrats who want to solve problems and create jobs for the middle class. why
senator out of touch with kentucky, president obama is not on kentucky s 2014 election ballot. nothing abut th aing about thisl change who is in the white house, but we can change who is in washington, d.c. see about that one. the georgia primary, no candidate on the republican side came near to 50% in that seven candidate primary field. which include three sitting u.s. congressmen. right now looks like, kingston will face david perdue in the run-off. in georgia, mid shelfchelle nun daughter of sam nunn, won. and tom cotton will take on mark prioror. businessman, tom wolf, defeated, allison schwartz for the democratic nomination. wolf will take on republican tom
