involved? reporter: i think he, as he has said on a number of interviews on his way out the door, he s going to take a vacation, get some sleep, start the process of thinking about his memoirs, working on his library. he s going to step away. that s the right thing for him and the democratic party. will step away for a little bit. i think he ll play a role similar that other ex-presidents. he has been clear that if donald trump he was going to give donald trump space. if he does something that went at the core, deporting some of the dream kids or muslims, he might feel compelled to speak out. that would not surprises me. president obama is going out on a high. president-elect trump is going in on a low, right? is the trump team concerned that president obama will step in and be vocal and make things more difficult for donald trump. i don t think there s concern. donald trump has a clear vision of where he wants to take the country, vastly different than
idea. bush was less than a minute into his remarks when they began chanting no hope without our vote. bush responded by saying he supports a path to citizenship for the undocumented who came as children a position hillary clinton has accused him of abandoning. here s what i believe. i believe we need immigration reform. i ve been clear about this. i believe that dream kids should have a path to citizenship as i ve been consistently for. the dream act kids to get a path to citizenship. i ve been consistently for it and i ll continue to be consistently for it irrespective of what the political ramifications of that are. yeah. one other thing. when you re behind a microphone and people are chanting you just stare at them and look at the organizer and say really? really? i ll stand here for another couple of minutes and i m leaving the stage. if you want a clown show we ll have a clown show.
he was looking to expand our majority around the country with such things as military path to citizenship for dream kids, reaching out to the trade unions here in new york, things like that that he was doing. is the gop more empowered post-eric cantor s loss or weakened? weakened a little bit because his skills will no longer be there as majority leader. but in the end, it s not going to have an impact at all. we are going to win a larger majority in the house and we will win a nice majority in the senate. real quick as far as 2016 candidate, do you have one yet? after the 2010 election when all our great governors in wisconsin, michigan and ohio win re-election, that will set the stage for a lot of good candidates, of course, jeb bush, chris christie, any of them would be much better than barack
farm workers talking about reform. next day i got to denver last sunday and there was republican congressman kaufman putting an editorial page commentary saying he s for comprehensive immigration and saying the dream kids should go to citizenship and so should their parents so we have a balance. i think steve king is clearly an outlier in the republican party and some of us are doing the hard work ignoring the ignorant racist comments that he makes. and do you believe that mr. king is an ignorant racist? i can t think of any other words that truly describes the very despicable words that he said. they re both ignorant and racist statements. and there s you can t really. but i just want to clear it up. right? we want to talking about equations. there are 25 members of congress, republican congress for every steve king. we re going to work with them and get this done. we re not going to allow him to
