ethnic. they hate everything about him. they don t like his family his face they don t like anything about him. they look at cruz and say i hate him more than you do. is that the appeal? i think so. especially with these tea party people. jeb bush doesn t hate obama. i don t think i truly don t i agree with you that that s what the republican looks like because the vocal people are the ones that get all the press. i don t think the average republican has a significant hate, but i think the right wing that s ted cruz territory. if that gives him 15% of the caucus he may not win, but he will certainly skew it. a sparring partner today, matt lauer of today and he said he s a great compromiser, just like ronald reagan. let s watch this argument with matt lauer.
to defend gains that we have made in health care, i m going to defend gains that we have made on environment and clean air and clean water. if the president single handedly makes republicans the party of no. democrats just lost big midterm elections, and here president obama, the great compromiser supposedly, and he comes out and says i m going to block stuff, i m going to block what i don t like. good strategy or awful strategy? it s an awful strategy, there s been threats, threats threats, you said it makes the democrats the party of no. you can argue now that they have been masking being the party of no for a long time. because a lot of bills and the president admitted as much, haven t hit his desk. a lot of things p in the american public, people don t understand haven t come to life. and if you want to veto all the bills, if you don t want to compromise, it s not the republicans you re threatening,
