comes to people making $404 a week. i mean, that s the most insane statement i ve ever heard. i d like to respond just quickly. if that was the most partisan statement he s heard all weekend, i want to make sure he hears a more partisan statement, which is i think we can also grow the economy more if we would delay more of these obamacare mandates. the republican party is broken, and even republicans know it. now if they could just get out of their own way, we could see some real action. joining me now are crystal ball and joan walsh. thank you both for being here tonight. thanks for having us, rev. when he attacked the party of no, was he thinking of governor jindal? i think he might have been. this is the second time bobby jindal has done this. he has the instincts or the advisers to know there is something wrong with his party. it is broken. he came out and said we can t be the party of stupid and now we
get by and win with a smaller percentage turnout. let me ask you this. i ve had people ask me this question, being a floridians, and i don t have a good answer, maybe i don t have a politically correct answer. no one does. yeah, and that is how is it that both parties here it is one of the most competitive states, if not the most competitive state in the union, and yet the campaign benches of potential candidates seem to be as thin as ever on both sides of the aisle, that there s just a lot of wounded candidates, democrats and republicans. but, also, not too many rising stars. why is that? i think the republicans have a greater bench, because they ve been in power longer and they ve had an ability to have more politicians and more statewide offices. adam putnam, pam bondy, and a.g. means almost governor, but the party to capitalize on the voter registration edge has been certainly if you re a democrat pretty embarrassing. the best hope for governor, to win the governor s ra
at home, to which i m sure some of you are thinking that s been the plan all along. [ laughter ] the president explicitly criticized republican governors during remarks at a democratic fund-raiser on thursday, and this morning, in a national review op-ed, bobby jindal returns the favor, writing, the congressional budget office and the administration s own actions have in recent weeks confirmed what most of us already knew that president obama s agenda creates disincentives for americans to work. jindal, who turned some heads last year by calling the gop, quote, stupid party, is apparently playing the role of proxy for new jersey governor chris christie. the rga will hold a briefing after the white house meeting with its chairman excuse me, without its chairman. as a party, we can t be the party of no. as a party, we ve got good solutions. we re going to be meeting with the president. one of the things i want to share with him is that this president this administration has a cha
14% from hispanic voters. whites were down to just 67%. democrats have seen the future, and it is florida. meanwhile, the state s overall population continues to grow. it s the fourth-largest state in the country, but some experts predict it will surpass new york state in the next few years, in part because, well, of the number of new york transplants. at the same time, the number of republicans and democrats have grown, as well, but at a much slower pace than people registered under a third or independent party. in 2000, florida was home to 3.8 million democrats and 3.5 million republicans. 1.5 million people were registered to third parties. data from 2014 shows the number of democrats have risen 800,000. number of republicans risen 600,000. look at this. the number of folks registering as another party, up 1.4 million, growing by more than 90%. and while democrats outnumber republican, the gop is still running the show statewide. the party controls all three bases of power, the gove
sunday. right. right. and he is very much in line with all of the items that you just listed of them being the party of no about. so he is right in step with the rest of the republican party. i mean, here is the real problem for this party. their economic philosophy has been totally thoroughly discredited. we had a financial collapse because of their economic philosophy. we have the highest heights of inequality because of their economic philosophy. so he may realize that it s not good for them to be the party of stupid, that it s not good for them to be the party of no. but they have nowhere else to go because their entire economic theory is totally debunked. but then why in these flashes when he talks about the party of no and he has these apparent flashes of political sanity does he come back like he does today and doubles down? for example, here is republican
