Tell us where they are today. The republicans, yeah. The republicans had 179 seats at the beginning of the obama administration. They are up to, if you look at current leads at 251, some of those leads may evaporate as california in particular takes a long time to vote to count its votes. They theyve taken as long as five weeks. A week ago sunday, brazil tabulates the votes in five hours. In california, which believes itself to be a more advanced state takes five weeks. In any case, it appears that republicans have won more than the 234. They won it in 2012, more than the 242, they won in 2010. And almost certainly more than the 246, they won in 1946. You have to go back to the 1928 cycle to find a time when republicans did better in house elections. Norm was covering that for cbs radio. And thats thats there. Its, you know, part of this is baked into the cake by demographics. You know, in 2016, 2012, mitt romney who many of you will remember carried 226 house districts, carried a majo
Secretary clinton was part of the Obama Administration and a key component of the National Security Foreign Affairs team that people now disapprove of obama. Its going to be real tough for her to separate herself from an administration in which he served. Sir . You talk about the agenda on the issues, minimum wage, but you also mentioned legalization of pot. Were you saying its part of the democratic agenda now . Well, it should be. Why . The voters are in favor of it. And our drug laws are a nightmare. The unfairness of our drug laws in terms of incars efforting Young American meams, this is an insane policy. We should be legalizing marijuana in this country. Your comments with regard to the election outcome in the senate might have some impact on the president in terms of his judicial appointment and specifically if a Supreme Court justice decides to retire, over the next two years, how do you think thats going to play out both in terms of who he might nominate as a replacement and h
Pressing thoughts they would like to address with the panel. Right here in the front. The flaw in the current law . There is defamation, intimidation whenever we have a high profile case, theres a from people who think they can solve the problem or people who were injured who want a new law specifically for that issue. Why do we need a new law in this case . Do you want to start . Rights work did not start with any high profile case. Years ago when average people were being affected by this. This has been something that is happening private citizens for years. This is not some high profile case we are responding to out of a sense of now that has happened to someone famous we care. We care about this because the experience of victims has been that none of these laws work. If the image is out there, if it was not necessarily by someone trying to harass, and many of them do not, just to give you a concrete example, just a couple of weeks ago, the Highway Patrol officers who have arrested
Have a majority and they were the shareholders in government so you participate sometimes and theyve become oneparty voters. Our system is almost parliamentary today in terms of voting blue and voting red. They used to vote for the name on the back of the jersey. Ow they vote for the jersey. Its the best way to put it so what happens and they come to washington they behave like a Parliament System so instead of the Minority Party or the Opposition Party and to say no to everything and thats got to be broken, so the good news coming out of the elections on tuesday we have three states now that have runoffs with the top two from the primaries. Two democrats, two republicans, california, louisiana, washington state. They tested 21. So there is some movement out there even in the state democratic districts or are some republicans we have to cater to. My plan is that it gets people to vote on occasion instead of having to just stay and be punished in the primary. And until you break that i
Would be certainly the likely candidate. But the other thing is perhaps there was a report a couple weeks ago about the potential Lindsey Graham for 2016. He was bored. But to the point of there will be sort of this jocking for a position on Foreign Policy matters. And senator graham from South Carolina who david mentioned had really not erased for his own reelection. Hes certainly in this camp with mccain,. Rubio seems to be in that group. Im interested to watch is what the senator from New Hampshire is who is up in 2016. And New Hampshire was the one place on the senate map where there was a close contested race that was supposed to be a close contested race and the democrat held on. Scott brown is not returning to the senate. Senator shaheen won reelection. Shes always with mccain or often with mccain and graham on that sort of thing and shell be an interesting one to watch there to. The three amigos. I think mccain tweeted out there will be a new member of he amigos. The isis threa
