Some changes before the mid-terms? i expect she will be considering that, especially looking at paul ryan making an exit now. there will be a vacuum. we ll need a new leader on the republican side there. but i would point out, this is an issue with leadership across the board. it s not like mitch mcconnell is popular and chuck schumer is popul popular. this is a thankless job. you look at how divided the parties are. you have the freedom caucus and mainstream republicans and trump trucks. finding somebody to unite everybody is difficult. i don t disagree with you. we re getting exciting new candidates. take conor lamb that went against nancy pelosi when he won pennsylvania. that is the future of the party. julie: you don t agree? he did say he didn t support her. there s not many democrats that can fire off a semiautomatic rifle. that was a very conservative district to say you can be ....
Funding roadblock on friday. so they re in exact ly the same position that they were three days ago, and it s not clear to me they got anything except for the bad press that accrued to them from this shutdown. they re bad. the democrats bet is that by november when there is an election, this will be forgotten if the government reopens. if the president is still popul popular, that s what will carry to november, not that we had a shutdown. that s their bet. we re having this conversation in the middle of january, by november this will be long forgotten, and then the question will be, did they get this immigration? the republicans did have a disciplined strategy to say the democrats were shutting down the government to protect illegal immigrants. is that what you want, american people? it s a national converation but it also matters most in a handful of states if the republicans want to keep their senate majority, they want to knock off a couple democrats this year. one of them is j ....

Popul popular. allows the president to say the job is not done but where we ve gone over the past four years we ve had significant accomplishments from bin laden to yemen and other places and we re going to stay at it. i think that s going to be a compelling message that romney is going to be hard to overcome. indeed. p.j. crowley, thank you, sir, as always for your time and expertise. thanks, alex. coming up, the obama administration is certainly not the first to concern itself with political optics but before the proliferation of the 24 hour news cycle and rise of rapid response white houses had different ways of handling it. for example, the kennedy presidency. the newly released audiotapes from jfk s time in the oval office ahead on now. ....
They say the same thing, yeah, we got to do something on medicare. we understand. everybody. doesn t matter whether it s the most conservative republican or most liberal democrat, most powerful senator or the back bencher on the house, they all know, has anybody talked to anybody behind closed doors that says medicare is fine? because i sure haven t. or the whole but joe, the challenge is, the public doesn t think medicare is broken. right. the public is dead wrong. 70% of tea partiers so you have to figure out how to give them something this what is makes what ryan is doing politically harder. he s saying we know you like medicare, medicare frankly is popul popular, because it s secure and there and all this, you have to figure out how to still provide the security and, you know, in saying that you may have to go to private insurance market to a lot of people is not security in this. what i m surprised is, we re not ....
