reporter: a milky way bar gave senator paul a little energy boost during the dinner hour. he said he made many trips to the so-called candy desk on the senate floor. he also got a special delivery of apple and tea from senator mark kirk who is still recovering from a stroke, bill. bill: anything to keep rolling. roll he did. his target was the white house. has the president or the white house responded to this filibuster yet, peter? reporter: no but senator paul said he would be very surprised if he didn t hear from the white house today. one interesting response we heard from another republican, senator lindsey graham, who thinks another paul is on the wrong track. the program he used overseas has made us safer. this idea we would use a drone to target american in a cafe in america is ridiculous. i think the american people need to understand the threat we face. reporter: if senator paul wanted to break senator
Very serious question and it s a question that i think we finally got an answer to, so the president apparently thought it was a serious enough question to answer. megyn: last sorry, apologies, we re wrapping up. i know you got tired, stood for 12 hours, couldn t take bathroom breaks. anything you would do differently if you did it again. i would have eat and bigger breakfast. i hadn t planned on doing it until we walked in that moment and you never know whether the floor will be open. usually the floor is sort of held captive by the majority party and won t let you get up there and talk, let you talk for specified times. so i was fortunate that the floor was open and that i had an issue i cared passionately about and i think it s a good idea for the country to have a real debate sometimes about does the bill of rights apply? some of the questions aren t easy. it s about terrorism, too, so, does the bill of rights apply and when does it apply, a significant question. megyn: good
Comparisons. the entire establishment was against him. everyone said that his time had passed. we re not going to concede to the moderate establishment who wants to convince everybody that it s over. it s time just to go away. we ve now dumped in $100 million. we ve beaten up the other candidates into a pulp and it s time to take who we want. he s speaking, of course, of reagan 76, reagan did not succeed in 76. by the way, in the senate, santorum was known as the keeper of the famous candy desk, so he was the guy who used to hand out candy. over to team obama, it s another fund-raising day, the president heads to the northeast, he makes stops in vermont and maine to raise campaign cash. the end of the month, of course, is tomorrow. health care may be dominating the news this week, but apparently we may not hear the president talk about it much in keeping with what s likely to be a white house pattern until the decision comes down. the president did a big public event in the rose
Moderators focused on him as well. rick perry, and the moderator let me come back to opening something which you said. hillary clinton might be president right now if she had chosen to reverse her view on iraq to some stance. always a time you have to reverse. i m not sure rick perry on immigration, hpv, social security, one of these he may want to consider. he s back tracked a little bit right now. i think he s changing that view. there s a rule in politics if you re going to pick a generational engage in generational warfare which what is social security is, you want to be with the generation that votes all the times, senior citizens. that s a tough one. casey, steve. we re going to talk about actual elections taking place after the break. ourti trivia, what s special about the senate desk located in the back row of the republican side, the one on the aisle next to the chamber most heavily used entrance? well it s simply i was told this by our senators, it s the candy d
It s not just but it s the republican candy desk. apparently there s a democratic candy too. senator george murphy started the tradition of keeping a supply of candy in his desk back in 1965. it s been a staple of the senate ever since. senator mark kirk is the current keeper of the candy desk. we ll be right back with more from the super tuesday package, you re watching the daily rundown only on msnbc. ering su, but it was getting expensive. so to save some money. man: looks great, hun. woman: .and we re not real proud of this. man: no.we re not. woman: we.um. teen: have you guys seen captain stewie and lil miss neptune? dad: did you look all over the place? under your desk? all around? teen: uh, they re fish, they live in a bowl. dad: what re gonna do? anncr: there s an easier way to save. anncr: there s an easier way to save. teen: whatever. ncr: 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.
