they should take a road trip together and make a playlist together? maybe they should just take a long drive. again, we laugh about these things but this lack of civility matters when you re trying to negotiate, right? legislate? and fascinatingly, president trump has been talking in recent days about the old washington, where democrats and republicans squabble during the day and went out and had dinner at night and got along and how there s an absence of that and how he wishes that existed. good luck. john mccain remembers, though, washington where democrats n republicans did socialize. the tea party forces like ron paul, they view mccain and mcconnell as guys as much a part of the problem if not more so in many cases. and john mccain sort of famously a few years back referred to rand paul as being in a group of whacko birds. so we re there s a continuum here. rand paul has a long memory.
as much as he dislikes trump, he really hates cruz. cruz said he ll endorse rubio any day now so this is the way of getting back at the whacko birds. this has gotten such traction that this week the cruz campaign released a document. this is the birth certificate for ted cruz s mother, eleanor, documenting the fact she was born in delaware. clearly cruz doesn t feel he can ignore it. i don t think he can at this point. it s now solidly established as a media story. its everywhere. i do agree with what laura said. i think lots of people, including voters are saying he was born in canada? that s news to me. it s not news to us around here, but it might be news to
long this would drag on with the primary? i don t think so. i think this is an issue that is going to boomer rang. that s personal. john mccain, it s very clear as jeff talked about in his piece, that there is a personal an moss fee between the two. i think on the internet and twitter they call this trolling. so he s trolling ted cruz in a way, that again, has offered a distraction and landed legitimacy. we have another cycle that we re talking about. ted cruz, as you saw in many of these interviews that he s had on it, that s the smart strategy for him and has to ultimately hope that he breaks through. we will see. i think the animosity dates back to whack-o birds. outfront for us next, inside we re going to go inside the town hall with
think that they re a threat to our national security. rand paul is wrong. and dangerous. tell him to stop siding with obama, because even one iranian bomb would be a disaster. i would say that almost every element of the ad s a lie. i mean, they say i m helping the president. i m actually one who has said to the president that this deal when it becomes final has to be finalized by congress. and i ve said that to actually strengthen the president s hand but i do want him negotiating from a position of strength. do you think he has been? no. i think this is that s what i m trying to tell him is that you re going to have to bring a deal back to us. and also you should be coming to congress and trying to get support. but see democracy s messy and he doesn t really want to dirty his hands with democracy. he does it all the time. forget about reagan s eleventh commandment, mark. think of the words that john mccain used, whacko birds for
finalized by congress. and i ve said that to actually strengthen the president s hand but i do want him negotiating from a position of strength. do you think he has been? no. i think this is that s what i m trying to tell him is that you re going to have to bring a deal back to us. and also you should be coming to congress and trying to get support. but see democracy s messy and he doesn t really want to dirty his hands with democracy. he does it all the time. forget about reagan s eleventh commandment, mark. think of the words that john mccain used, whacko birds for senator cruz whacko bird rand paul. there s a concerted effort to keep these guys down. who s doing this? well behind that ad are some bush operatives jeb bush operatives george bush operatives, karl rove operatives. they re using super pacs to protect themselves while they trash these new faces, these conservatives who are trying to break through. and this is the point. we conservatives, we
