thank you. that is our show for tonight. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o donnell. tonight we are answering a question i ve been wondering about which is how can marco rubio be on the same ticket as donald trump, because the constitution says, i have to say this right, that the electors from a state cannot vote for two candidates who are from the same state. they can only vote for one. it would make little marco move, right? that s the thing, does he have to move? how does the senator from florida moved from florida? is that legal? anyway, we need an election lawyer to figure this out for us. i just don t understand how they can be talking about rubio as if that is some sort of easy choice to make. i m glad you are getting to the bottom of this. that is quite the pretzel twist. i will be watching. presidential campaign debates were invented by and for tv. 1960 wasn t just the first televised presidential debate, it was the first. george w ....
promised to help. during the campaign, president-elect trump put out a list of promises.. he put out his contract for american voter and in it, very specific promises for his first 100 days. lowering taxes and tax reform. free and fair trade deals to protect american workers and their jobs. fixing our nation s infrastructure and sending education back to the states and school choice. repealing and replacing obamacare. affordable child care, pulling a border wall, keeping community safe, rebuilding our nations military and doing what he calld draining the swamp. if he can keep those promises come of this country will be in a much better place one year from now, two years from now, four years from now. so on the eve of this inauguration, my advice for the incoming president is very simple. don t let the washington establishment, republican establishment, democratic establishment, media establishment that in the way of but i think we will get there and i think this very much is a ....
president trump just got a blistering salvo from another republican senator, arizona s jeff flake, who slammed the president on the senate floor while announcing he won t run for re-election in 2018. flake, a trump critic who has been attacked repeatedly by the president, said reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior from the top of our government is dangerous to a democracy. he accused the president of the united states of undermining america s norms and values. and that came after the president went to capitol hill to talk tax reform with senate republicans over lunch. but there may have been cases of indigestion as the meal was proceeded today by a breathtaking war of words between the president and senator bob corker, who will also not run again in 2018. after corker urged the white house to leave tax reform to the professionals, the president lashed out on twitter, claiming falsely that corker helped president obama with the iran far too many principles. we were not ....
this first year of trump is going to mean for the republican party in the long term, for conservatives? do they have the same home that they used to, or is the party irreparably changed? i think long term, the chances are high that the republican party, it can t recover or is broken apart or this is the beginning of a breaking apart for them. the brand of what it means to be a conservative or conservative republican is kind of lost. and whether conservatives in particular can ever get back to, you know, having a party of their own is hard to know. you have a lot of people like pete wayner n david brooks out there saying i m a political refugee. sounds like you wouldn t say that donald trump is conservative. oh, he s definitively not. michael steele? no, he s not. he s not at all. i agree with jon. i think what we ve seen at the surface is something that s been going on beneath the surface since reagan left office. and certainly it came to a head during my time as nationa ....
A recap of the day s news. it s always the same counties. in other places, it s ohio. they re pretty good at it. we re at 66% here, the early votes came in, this was blue at first, now it s gone, back to its dna. if you look at any map in america. here s the city, out here is red, and look at the margins, 70%. 67%. you move away from the cities, you re in republican country. you come down to the suburbs the republican incumbent won this race. danny o connor has done what he needs to do. as you move a little more away, affluent republicans here some of them like trump, some like the tax cut. this is now your tug of war in today s republican party playing out in an affluent suburban county here. is winning that by 53% enough. it s not necessarily a fair comparison, because it s a not only did he win by 11 points. we should underscore this is a district that has not had a democratic representative in almost 40 years, before you were born, don. i wish. it really is remarka ....
