we really. a monarchy? all we need to do is get jeb bush in there. we can have the full thing. 46. i think are we really going to do that? 41, 42, 43. 45. all in two families? that would be one of the biggest problems we should have if people really don t like the idea of american dynastys, even though we ve done a few. here s a question, i pose it admitting i have no idea. admitting you were born in 39. we will tell you what it was really like in the late 80s. a lot of the energy you see behind this push for obamacare and the reason ted cruz made headlines and headway is there is a real dislike for the president out there in certain circles. so does that tea party energy carry over if hillary clinton is president. is she the same type of villain that barak barak is saying? you mean the president or the
poison pill to kill this idea. so my question then it would be put me inside the mind of not just council insider, from the tea party or the right who would give money to ted cruz what are they seeing here besides a guy who is delivering a fake filibuster that s not going to do anything, has a deal with harry reid, it s going to wrap up. it s going to do nothing. it just doesn t matter. they know that. it s a fight the republicans aren t willing to have. he is just fighting. they look at washington, you asked a question, let me answerer, they see a party that in 2001 took over. there is $155 billion surplus. by the time george bush was out of office, you know, there was 100 or 1.5 trillion deficit. republicans doubled the national dent you got mitch mcconnell leading the senate. you have john boehner leading the house. there aren t conservative champions loading the party. and mitt romney is the nominee. mitt romney is the nominee.
convention taft seemed to have the inside track. took it away from taft. he led us done the road to defeat. he led us down the road to defeat. they found a cosmetic concern who could sell, reagan. the question is, the u.s. the guy look like reagan? not in a million years. he doesn t look like reagan. maybe rand paul can be a nominee. i think rand paul is the nominee. wow. all right. chris matthews. thank you. so, chris, you ve got a great book coming out. i m so excited. i m halfway through it. obviously it s about tip o neil and ronald reagan. the quote i love in there, you know, a lot of people try to make them out to be best buddies. you don t. no. i love the quote of tip o neil s son who said, who you quoted in the book saying, the only thing they hated more than each other s politics was inaction in washington. not getting be i. he accepted a deal we all learned as kids, when you play tag, you are it. the basic rules, you don t let
if they re able to get it. but they re headed in that direction t. president has said that it s a, he has a philosophy of prevention and. right. as opposed to managing iran with a nuclear weapon. if he s serious about that. if it s another red line. right. then time is running out. you talked about the red line. time is running out on iran. syria, what can you tell us about syria from the intel committee. how bad is the situation there? it s ugly. very ugly. you know, we lad the opportunity to show real leadership there. america has always acted when the national security interest of the united states was in jeopardy and there is no question but what the use of chemical weapons is a national security interest on the united states. we did act. i wish the president had, but so be it. so now, we re in kind of a
he s doing as he s doing it. the only problem with all of this is that he is, he should be expediting the inevitable. he should be, but he s not. let chambliss vote on his bill. everybody knows that i will send a clean bill to the zblous on america s bill. to defund don t try that. anyway, when he gets to the house, it will have a clean bill. then the question is, what is boehner going to do? i kind of think what boehner is probably going to do is come up with some other gimmick. it all depends on the tea party who want to basically shut down the government. can i ask you guys a question? yeah. what if boehner attaches a provision that actually makes congress live by the same rules on obamacare the rest of us have to live by? would you guys support that and get rid of the exemption for capitol hill? it doesn t bother me so much for the members of congress.
