taxation wouldn t, right? because most of their wealth most of their money is in wealth it s not in income. it would be a new addition. this is what bloomberg stead to my colleague stephanie ruhle about some of the positions taken in the primary. i want to get your response, john and alexis. take a listen. i think a lot of the pandering on some of the more liberal things it s really not practical. the economics wouldn t work. the public wouldn t want it, but in order to get through a primary, a democratic primary or a republican primary, the candidates take positions that are more extreme than what the public wants. the public does not want revolutionary change, it wants evolutionary change. now, that s a defensible argument, but one thing i find so interesting is how well the wealth tax specifically polls. there s lots of things in the democratic agenda that poll poorly but that one really does poll well. it does poll well, and in general raising taxes on wealthy people on p
time around. i would argue and i know the castro camp might not want to hear that. of the vp candidates he has shot to the top. every single one of those front-runners he fits with well. ten seconds you picked michael bennet. i did. you noticed a moderate in the race. democrats too much about the left and battleground many of those initiatives don t poll well. we ll talk with you three later in the show. so stick around. we also want to take a live look at the markets trying to bounce back after their worst day in a couple months thanks to a new move by the fed who got the latest ahead. first, a big vote going down in the senate just in the next half hour or so. what we know about the massive budget deal. the one president trump likes but other republicans do not. live on the hill with what to expect as it develops as we speak. o expect as it develops as we speak. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that s why there s otezla. otezla is not a
to say you re fired. maybe they can hire bill o reilly would be very good at it. you could prop a big mirror next to him. that might create another dynamic. exactly objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear. another idea was they could eliminate in the first debate on fox, have a lightning roundabout iraq. if you stutter more than twice, you re gone. and then have a second lightning roundabout rape and a third lightning roundabout same-sex marriage and see who s still standing doesn t have an oops moment. yeah. well, i mean i have to say i feel like i agree with republicans who have been trying to spin the giant field as a plus. they don t have they don t have anybody who is inheriting the nomination. jeb bush has all the money but he don t poll well, not particularly beloved by the base. won t be easy for him or anybody. it makes their process all the more important. we re at a time when we really
success in getting some things done, and particularly in new york city, and as well as in business and could it be a game-changer? well, it is an open question. the issue is what you described. a big intensity gap on this issue. a lot of the gun control measures that poll well, but people who support them don t go into the voting booth to vote on that specific issue. you have advocates for the gun ownership who care about that issue and vote on it and political activists on it and that is why they are continuing to win. and what mike bloomberg has said is that while the national efforts have failed, he is involved in c kro where his side has lost in local races where they have been beaten by the nra and so he is seeing they need to build the grass roots support. the question is how to build it from the top. and they say it is not top-down effort, but with $50 million, it is almost has to b. and what is clever is that they have the
that rick scott, the governor of florida has made his bones on which is drug testing. drug testing state workers, everything. how us that sandusky that play into this question of legalization? drug testing welfare recipients polls well. speaking of things that they support the poll well, that s one of those issues. but rick scott has been pretty anti-drug. he had a family member who had at least an alcohol problem so he s made that kind of a top concern and a top issue. but, you know, scott has had bad luck when it comes to enforcing some of the ideas of drug testing welfare recipients. courts have canceled it. same with drug testing of state workers. again, he s probably focusing more on talking about jobs, the unemployment rate is falling and the like. medical marijuana does play to charlie s strengths. as i said, you re going to hear more about it in the coming days tochl your other guest s point which is interesting, whether it s going to happen outride, florida in the quinnipiac
