will this thing hold together when they vote tomorrow? here s the thing. until they vote, you ll never know. we have seen time and time again, speaker boehner come up with grand plans, or put bills on the floor to have to pull them back for a lack of support. so as much as i would like to be hopeful about this budget deal and hope that it s going to go through until they start voting, i m unwilling to say if this thing will actually pass. liz mair, i m surprised that we re talking about a deal that looks like it s going to be sold and delivered and packaged in the end by democrats. there s no guarantee the republican a vast majority of republican members, who are the 247 members of the 435 in the house are going to go along with this. it s going to depend on pelosi to hold it together. that may possibly be true. and when off package that you put together that hikes spending by $80 billion, that is one of the reasons why some democrats may get more comfortable with it
is doing now in the obama administration, making sure supervisory people making 30,000, 40,000 a year should be eligible for overtime. all those issues are such a part of mainstream democratic politics, and frankly, mainstream america. and i don t see that much difference between the two of them. regardless of what bernie has called himself over the years, or what hillary has called herself. i think they both have speak to the great american tradition of democrat solid democratic policies of creating a middle class and lifting up working people. that s what i m all about with this endorsement and what drives me in politics, i started hanging out at the steelworkers hall in mansfield, ohio. thank you so much, senator sherrod brown, who endorsed hillary clinton today. well, hillary clinton took issue with something that bernie sanders said at the last democratic debate. sanders was responding to criticism by clinton over his record on guns. and as a senator from a rural
that may possibly be true. and when off package that you put together that hikes spending by $80 billion, that is one of the reasons why some democrats may get more comfortable with it than some republicans. at the end of the day, there are some republicans who like ryan will be going away and taking a very close look at this. because if you look at the comment that came from senator rob portman today, his point is that it s not a great deal and looks like it doesn t deal with some of the fundamental issues we re talking about when we re talking about continued deficit spending and a continued high national debt. i think the only way you get around that, there are going to be some people who do want a debt ceiling raised without having ra big fight about it, and i think there are some potentially significant reforms to social security, medicare, and i would say from my perspective, most importantly, the crop insurance program. so i think if you have fiscal conservatives go away and l
are talked to the fact there s going to be increased spending for defense but increased spending for programs that democrats care about on the domestic front, and another way to look at this, quite frankly is it shows that although they probably will not get a large majority of the republicans to vote for this, bipartisanship can happen on the hill. this is this democrats to the american public that if they really want to do something, they can put their heads to do it and get it done and get it done in a bipartisan fashion. warning to democratic members of congress. if the word social security shows up anywhere in this deal, beware. beware of voting on anything that changes the social security benefit system. anyway, the roundtable is sticking with me. up next, if it s tuesday, it s time for the clown car, driven first tonight by mr. donald trump. not surprisingly. and you re watching hardball, the place for politics. to help lower cholesterol. try meta today. and for a tasty he
socialist party in this country, like you do in europe, or a lot of these advanced countries, social democratic party like you have in most of the advanced countries. what does it mean to you? bernie sounds to me like a liberal democrat in all of the positions he s taken. you could say on the labor left or whatever, but basically like a social democratic a member of the democratic party. why do you think he keeps saying he s a socialist and hasn t ran on the democratic line before? i mean, he s not the only one moving around politically. he seems to move to the senator. hillary says she s moved over to him. who s had the most movement? i don t know who moves. i think that s a discussion for the panel after we talk or no, it s for the voter. but i know both hillary and bernie, what they re talking about, trade agreements, wall street reform, minimum wage, creating jobs and increasing wages appeal it s mainstream america. not mainstream democrats. it s mainstream america. 70,
