purple or blue states. republican senator this is year and folks running statewide. you know, we re concerned about what that effect will be. i think that ted cruz and donald trump, ted cruz much more ably, take that concern from mainstream republicans and try to turn it into an asset. i saw him today make these allegations about john mccain. look, john mccain didn t raise the question. he was responding to the question of whether ted cruz was eligible or not to run. let s remember that john mccain comes at this as a guy who was born in a u.s. territory in panama and who had to face a lot of the same questions. i spoke to john mccain last night. he said, look, there was a legal complaint filed. it s going to be an issue. when you re running for president, everything is looked at. so, yes, it s going to be a legitimate issue that needs to be looked at. i saw where ted cruz said today, john mccain is going to endorse
all the different networks and one way or another they re going to act at some point, but bulls, here was john mccain last night. this is really, his leadership of the republicans in the house and the speaker is clearly he s at stake if he can t bring his people along. of course, mccain has been very, very critical of some of these tea party members. he said in a wall street journal editorial trash what s they called tea party hobbits. kentucky senator rand paul didn t take that criticism very kindly. i d rather be a hobbit than a troll, and the hobbits were the good guys. they were the heroes in it s battle for middle earth between good and evil, and there s a certain amount of good and evil up here. well, clearly rand paul has read all of those books carefully. gave you the full-fledged plot line. look, a lot of people are trying to figure is speaker boehner in tribble? boehner, cantor and mccarthy were linked in this.
tv. look what they did? they were sitting around so went over and made the rounds with all the different networks and one way or another they re going to act at some point, but bulls, here was john mccain last night. this is really, his leadership of the republicans in the house and the speaker is clearly he s at stake if he can t bring his people along. of course, mccain has been very, very critical of some of these tea party members. he said in a wall street journal editorial trash what s they called tea party hobbits. kentucky senator rand paul didn t take that criticism very kindly. i d rather be a hobbit than a troll, and the hobbits were the good guys. they were the heroes in it s battle for middle earth between good and evil, and there s a certain amount of good and evil up here. well, clearly rand paul has read all of those books carefully. gave you the full-fledged plot line. look, a lot of people are trying to figure is speaker boehner in
