and guess what, you had hispanics and republicans saying that is too much. and the congressman, somebody yelled to him, learn english at the tea party rally. so part of this, they have is so blocked themselves into a corner with this very hateful rhetoric they can t even untangle themselves from it. which is a part of the problem. and look at mitt romney, talking about a gift to hispanics, the rhetoric, that got republicans in trouble. and that is the kind of rhetoric that is not easily forgotten, karen finney and sam stein, thank you for joining us. if you thought it couldn t get crazier than darrell issa, watch this. why is it that only democrats have to keep their promises in the senate and the republicanss get to break their word? that is coming up. and i shop at walmart. truth is, over sixty percent of america
right. how is obama going to avoid that? except for clinton. he survived because the public got mad at him. here s the good news for democrats, the silver lining is, they lost so many seats in 2010 there s no more seats to lose. who? the democrats. so they are kind of the question is, can they expand it? a good economy is better than a terrible economy. but structurally, when you look at just how few seats are in play, both by redistricting and the way that these by the way, it s a pretty good deal. it s a great deal. even in a bad year i look at me, fitzpatrick, how are they going to get knocked off? they have the name i.d. of serving four or six years. it s tough to become an incumbent republican in the burbs. they need to talk about the economy. this has been the problem for republicans s. that they are very good at saying we don t want to do whatever president obama does. they don t have a message for,
have to give us spending cuts. and by the way, the republicanss think they re out of the tax spending business. the president thinks they will. they also believe they have the leverage now with the debt ceiling. the only way the president gives him that leverage is to negotiate with them. so he has to stand very, very firm on that. i m betting that he is going to stay tough on the debt ceiling. and i m also betting, i may be the only one. i think they re going to pull more revenue out in the next congress through tax reform elements on deductions and exemptions, we ll see what happens on that. ezra klein and jared bernstein, thank you. and coming up, republican governor chris christie versus boehner, and university john king, versus john boehner. and more on hillary clinton s condition and the republicans who lied about that. and in the rewrite tonight, the secret governing, totally
all the income growth in the country. so i think that s the number we ought to be looking at and compromising, and not necessarily, again, these these loopholes, so-called, which really affect middle-class and lower income americans, not the wealthiest. how confident are you that you can slide that scale, if you look at it, to a half a million. some have suggested that. you ve heard republicanss there throw out $1 million. do you think that is where the compromise ultimately will settle? i think that s where the compromise ought to be. the other s ideological. it s hard to compromise ideology, but you can compromise dollars. and that seems a much more feasible approach than this whole idea about cutting taxes on job creators, and things with this kind of mythology that many republicans in the past. all right, sir, you go ahead and have a good cough there and let s talk about the permanent solution. do you think that we will get one prior to january 1st? or might we get a short-
