cromnibus to what cruz did. matt iglesias gets to why. in terms of influence and sphere of influence there are some parallels but he writes in 2013 republicans demanded obamacare repeal as ransom for funding the government. in 2014 republicans are demanding partial roll back of dodd frank was ransom for funding the government. it continues to be that the gop wants to use government funding as leverage to undo policy measures democrats enacted in the 111th congress in both 2013 and 2014 elizabeth warren didn t want to pay the ransom. the ransom is still there. rolling back parts of dodd-frank actually has nothing to do with the budget bill, john. no. but she s at own odds with her leader and she s at odds with her president so in that sense they are very similar. you watch her language. they use very similar language to sort of get to the populous base that both of them speak to. i do think in terms of their
the election barely a month and a half away, the first thing they do is sneak these things into a bill with very little public debate and get them passed. john, do we know who put who basically gutted mccain-feingold this week? nobody will fess up and say this was our idea. yeah, i don t think anybody wants to be out there like this was my idea, this is a great thing to go do. well, just not in defense of this, but theoretically there s an argument to be made about free speech or whatever, but nobody has tried to claim it on the right. no. i think the biggest argument i ve seen is more we re getting rid of some of the money that goes into conventions and reduce little federal government s role. that s as far as anybody wants to go because it does look like it s supporting special interests and nobody wants to be that guy right now, i think, except for maybe mitch mcconnell who does say this is about free speech, it doesn t matter if you re a corporation. so maybe mitch mc
we can moan and grown about free speech and i of course would never support this kind of approach, but the fact of the matter is this is a dangerous bill for the united states because of what they have done to allow the banking sector to continue to abuse their position as essentially an oligopaly. that is not something that s popular on the right or the left. yeah, john, to that end a lot of discussion and analysis about where democrats are at but the unspoken story line is not that the white house was on board with this but that establishment republicans were pushing to get an omnibus spending bill through congress in advance of them taking over both houses of congress. that is a testament to just how scared mitch mcconnell and john boehner are of their far right flank, is it not? it is. the interesting thing to me about that is this has been a position that boehner and mcconnell have been in now for four years. and they see that it s not going
don t think they re going appreciate this. i think every senator who votes for this and then thinks they re going run for president is putting their campaign at enormous risk in either party. john, to that ending there s been a lot of talk about whether elizabeth warren would run for president. it seems clear that the power center will be the upper chairman. she does not seem or sound cowed and could be an incredibly powerful tool leading into 2016. oh, absolutely. she s been following in a way a model ted cruz has been using which is operating from the pulpit of the senate and using that very big megaphone to rally support in the lower chamber, to start opposition there. you saw it happen in the house and that has transferred to the senate where more and more senators are saying wait a second, we don t know if we like this language. you re starting to see the outside organizations rally around her quite a bit. but can i interrupt you, john, because i think that it s dangerous to
