i actually grew up around john mccain all of my life. i've circulated brochures for him in his first campaign in phoenix, in the early ol's and we left yuma he was one of my last interview. we did a border story with senator mccain and i said i'm going south carolina. wi plight not see each other again. and six years later i got a phone call and i it was mccain on the phone same i'm coming to greenville so we drove up to greenville and for two years i saw him more in south carolina than i ever did here in arizona as he campaigned for that nomination. he won the south carolina primary. and so that was an amazing election cycle and i thought i wanted to write a book but that but there wasn't quite fluff so my career took me to columbus, ohio, which is the epicenter of battleground state, a state i was born and know a lot about, been a buckeye fan all of my life, and columbus was the place to be for the 2012 election. covering obama and romney as the tripped around ohio, trying to win its electoral votes and seeing john mccain who was campa

for ten years, john mccain and i have hearings. john was viciously attacked during these hearings labeled the manchurian candidate. by after all that he'd been through through some of these right-wing unbelievably inappropriate individuals who were exploiting this process. so we worked with general brent scowcroft all the way through this period until they ultimately normalize relations with vietnam and began to think about vietnam as a country, not just a war. before john mccain passed away in arizona, he was on his hospital bed looking out at this beautiful valley in sonoma and i talked to him about it. he smiled and we talked about what we have been able to accomplish and i want to share it with you. no country in history and all of the warfare has ever done as much to implement an exhaustive accounting of all of the missing and captured. the american people can be proud of what they've accomplished and continue to accomplish at this endeavor. most are unaware that even today we have american military personnel that continue the

he started going after john mccain, got 20,000 to show up for him right after that, didn't like mccain maybe before that, didn't like him period, so when donald trump said it, they cheered him on. a gold star family, picked him out, trashed him. he doesn't care where you come from in the military, what you have done in the military, how many stars you have, what your title is in the military. if you don't agree with him, he will throw you under the bus. why is it, is it different now? what happens going forward? does it matter to those in the military? are they listening to the president? how do you feel about people that still support the president after that sort of language? >> well, i think it goes to since before he was sworn in as president, the president's personal attacks and attacks of professionalism of those in the security community. neither the military or intelligence community should ever be free of thoughtful reasoned criticism. when the military gets something wrong, they should look in and try to repair things. when the intelligence community makes mistakes, they shou

we have heard from folks like senator mccain talking about the importance of bringing in folks who have a common background, who can work together better. veterans fit that bill. if we start to see a rise in that, do we see the discord drop? do we see common ground for folks to reveal the turmoil? host: is it mixed or do they tend to be more democratic or republican? guest: they are more republican. ofs cycle, with a number democrats, we have seen more democratic veterans, more female veterans. democratic veterans have made more of an open call this time, as we try and take back the house, this is a group that is going to help us build credibility. they are going to be able to bring voters in and see we can be not just on the social care,, but on veterans' we can control that message. femalehere are four veterans. hawaii, arizona. guest: we could see that number double. see 14 women running in the house and senate this cycle. you mentioned arizona, a competitive race. if she wins, she becomes not just another republican but a senior female voice on national security issues in the senate

cindy mccain has said this. sometimes she signs her name cindy mccain and sometimes it's c. mccain. this issue of not exact matches being thrown out may have some merit. but you bring up broward county and palm beach county. what's the problem with broward county? marco rubio has tweeted about it. jeb bush got in on it. everybody has been talking what a mess broward county is from the perspective of elections. and steve kornacki, when he showed me that ballot today, i might have missed that. it's a poorly designed ballot. >> well, there are national guidelines for how to design ballots. and they specifically say that when you have vertical voter instructions as broward did, you should not put a contest underneath the instructions because people might miss them. having said that, there is no standardized state ballot, and these are always the issues that we see when there is a disputed election that come up after the fact. in broward in particular, as you noted, they've had a history of troubles. and people took a while to really be openly critical of the elected supervisor of electi

he said john mccain did it. specifically mccain's vote to kill the obamacare repeal. do you get the sense that republicans have come to grips with the reasons behind their losses a week ago. >> i don't think so, and i think if you look at arizona in particular, republicans really need to pay close attention because what we are talking about is a definite shift there. that was a red state that was already seemingly in the grips of democrats. hillary clinton lost that state but only by about 3 1/2 points. there was already a shift there. and arizona voters have watched very closely, president trump attack both of their senators throughout most of his presidency, and they have seen this message, and they rejected it. and yes, it played out in the suburbs, a lot of focus on white suburban women, but it also played o ut -- out in communities of color. communities of color came out and rejected donald trump. we saw kyrsten sinema talk to latino voters in spanish there. it was a completely different message that won at the end of the day, and republicans need to heed that an

she was an mccain supporter. in 2016, john mccain won by 13 points in arizona. donald trump won it by 4 percentage points. how many individuals tomorrow at the polling locations that perhaps voted for john mccain are not voting for martha mcsally and turning to the democrat who's essentially marketed herself as the bipartisan individual in the race and the person that's willing to work across the aisle? stephanie? >> all right. vaughn, thank you. >> that one -- that mcsally stuff is weird. she was so vocal in the opposition of obamacare. >> remember the vote? >> yeah. >> let's get this expletive done. i want kacandidates fair and square. >> on what they believe in. joining us now, moveon.org adviser, john weaver and sahil is back with us. what we talk about all the time is the economy's not bad, not equal. unemployment is lower. more jobs have been created. on most measures if i were the communications director for the president i would have that underscored all the time. are democrats worried about that and why aren't republicans doing better because of it? >>

the senator-elect reflected on john mccain. >> senator john mccain stood for everything we stand for arizona a arizonans. he taught us to always assume the best in others, to seek compromise instead of sowing division and to always put country ahead of party. senator mccain said, but we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. if only we remember that and give each over the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country. we will get through these challenging times. >> mike barnicle, you know, we free market conservatives always looked at east germany and west germany as a perfect laboratory test for what sort of economies work and what sort of economies do not work. well, we have almost a laboratory experiment in the state of arizona. that has been ground zero for donald trump's immigration fear mongering. let's just remember, as greg sergeant said yesterday, it was kind of ground zero for trumpism. he gave his big immigration speech there in 2016 during the campaign. that's whe as we all know, he just completely hammered jeff flake, compl

he and john mccain had the kind when he retired, john mccain came to his farewell party to talk about my brother. we need a return of that. >> what about george h.w. bush? so levin: it was less because we headed downwardly. it is hard when things go downwardly to move them up and there may not be any miracle. the presidents, regardless of differences of opinion, and regardless of stature, there was always a respect for the presidency. >> what about barack obama? was so talented. he was so dedicated. he had a strong views. dignity and a a ofse of purpose and a sense of seeking common effort. were were times where disagreed, on trade for example. presidency.the i think this president has diminished it. worked with aso number of speakers including tif o'neill, newt gingrich, and leader pelosi, and now paul ryan. how does the speaker set the tone for the house? they very much try, i think it newt gingrich very much succeeded because he came into power after a lot of acrimony. a lot of it. friendlierhad a much relationship. he is my neighbor. when i became ranking he would come here and i

i was blessed with my ranking member susan collins for many years john mccain with his recent blessed memory and senator coburn very conservative senator and we worked beautifully together because our direction of the staff was a joint direction let the chips fall where they may they could fall on our party or someone we were close to but that's what you have to start with to be success of bipartisan oversight. >> how does that differ you have a entirely nonpartisan staff so they have access to everything quick. >> the rules that set us up i was involved with putting together, is complete and unfettered access to the staff not the party majority or minority power it is staff of oversight. they are all lawyers and have their attorney-client privilege and the member of staff so as the investigations are ongoing if they have inquiry they can pursue those with the staff members without any interference from anybody else on the committee and as the senator said, it's about trust. when we put the committee to gather it was explained everything we do will be transparent everything on the web

to pass campaign reform, mccain-feingold. we had a discharge petition that wasn't moving. republicans were in power. e got the job done and we were ery proud of that of getting rid of all kinds of corporate money and the rest. the special interests found ways. and now here we are again at a time when we are in the majority invigorated by this outstanding reform-minded caucus to come forward with h.r. 1 and we will be addressing by some of their additional ideas to act upon this legislation. we have seen strong consensus as we go forward and part of that to pass the voting rights act, long overdue. built a record and so this is xciting. this is transformative occasion. this historic class of freshmen is going to make not only a difference in the congress but the entire country and we see the interaction with the public that when they trust you on this issue as john sarbanes said, they trust you on other issues as well. and that confidence is what our democracy is all about. if you have any difficult questions to new -- the new

and that's a vacuum right now. >> so sad. >>> when we come back, thousands of american -- john mccain would have cared about this story, too -- thousands of american troops are going to be spending their thanksgivings at the border thanks to a political stunt. and if you think donald trump apologized for that, you haven't been paying attention. the hard work you put into lowering your very high triglycerides with diet and exercise deserves the hard work that went into the science behind vascepa. prescription vascepa. vascepa, along with diet and exercise, has proven results in multiple clinical trials. vascepa looks different because it is different. over a decade of extensive research and development achieved proven results. that's the prescription power of vascepa. vascepa is not right for everyone. do not take vascepa if you are allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. tell your doctor if you are allergic to fish, have liver problems or other medical conditions and about any medications you take, especially those that may affect blood clotting. 2.3% of pat

this is the place of barry goldwater, john mccain. it's a democrat who's running, trying to take that mantle from john mccain as the maverick. she's been on the airwaves since the spring. when you look at the numbers this state, there's 1.2 million independents. over the last 24 hours, we've been talking to voters here, this is just down the road. it was interesting, republicans and independents a great number of them are telling us they intend to vote for the democrat. i'm going to introduce you to two of them right here. the first woman you're going to hear from is an independent. this is what they told us. >> who did you vote for? >> cinema. >> cinema? >> the democrat? >> yes. >> do you usually vote democrat? >> no. >> are you republican? >> yes. >> but not -- >> i'm changing. >> why? >> to the democratic party, i believe in their platform and agenda. >> raise taxes and spend more money. the republican party is not the same as it used to be. >> you used to consider yourself republican? >> yes. >> consider yourself independent now.

mccain stood for everything we stand for arizona arizonans. he taught us to always assume the best in others, to seem compromise instead of sowing division. and to always put country ahead of party. senator mccain said, but we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. if only we remember that and give each over the benefit of the presumption that we will get through these challenging times. >>> rick scott leads senator bill nelson by about 1200 votes. scott continues to allege voter fraud. senator nelson is firing back, accusing scott of trying to suppress votes. >> bill nelson is clearly a sore loser. he can't stand the fact that he's not going to be elected for the first time in decades and he's just here to steal this election. his lawyer came down here and said, i'm here to win the election. i'm not here to get a free and fair election. no. he wants to win the election. >> one fact is that rick scott isn't interested in making sure every lawful vote is counted. the second is that he's using his power as g

and senator mccain certainly, and some of the others. but at the end of the day, from a approximate big picture perspective, they're going to carry out the orders. along those lines i would say this may be news to the president, but not everybody who is in the military today voted for donald trump to be president, but ladder regardless of whether they voted for him, secretary clinton or didn't vote at all, they'll carry out the duties because that's what's expected of them. >> they've shown that throughout many years and the toughest and longest wars. thank you very much. >> thanks, jim. >>> battle lines are drawn between nancy pelosi supporters and several newly elected democrats who promised not to support her as speaker. a predicament, is anyone going to challenge pelosi? headache even if no one else can. it's why we focus only on headaches. nothing works faster. we see your pain and what's possible without it. excedrin extra strength. and what's possible without it. city fallout let ourere lungs breat♪es ♪ ♪ can you hold me, i

i think with john mccain passing, for example, mitt romney please is a role for him in our party in being a statesman and a standardbearer in our party. i've been coaching to go on the foreign relations committee to help -- i was not a big traveler in my earlier grip of one of the can speak i decided to do some landmark hotels, for instance, go to nato, reassure nato how much we are supportive of nato, things like that. i think that you can do a lot of good for our country by serving foreign relations committee and representing us abroad. things that are in his interest, all of our interest and have encouraged him to do that. >> should we look to him to play some of that john mccain role? >> he will -- i would look for him for that style. i would look to him as a leader who will be a standardbearer of our principles. >> okay. what was that, the loss of 2012, i remember going to iowa when you spoke at the governor birthday party. >> that she said with a mustache. >> used for open up that night and talked about that 2012 defeat and a kind of stun you. >> the only election i ever lost. >> ho

the independents and ramped up the democratic numbers. >> is mcsally likely to be appointed to john mccain's seat? >> i think that she made a mus take by endorsing the caravan nonsense and i imagine that she regrets that now, and if she had run like governor doocy who did not embrace trump so closely, might have been a different result. >> thank you. >> and now n california, searching for dozens that are missing. you are watching andrea mitchell reports on msnbc. this food truck is our baby. and like any baby, it's loud, stressful and draining. and we love it. i refuse to let migraine keep me from saying...

this is from gold star families to senator john mccain. and now the republican party is siding with trump, tweeting, quote, worth noting after recent william mcraven was reportedly on hillary clinton's short list for vice president in 2016. he's been critical of president trump, even dating back to the 2016 campaign. he is hardly a nonpolitical figure. that from the republican party. cnn's barbara starr joins me now, live. mcraven certainly not the kind of person you would expect a commander-in-chief to attack. m many years in the service. why is trump going after him? >> let's start with this. there is no public indication bill mcraven has any plans to run for public political office. president trump likes to hit back at his critics, he likes to be the toughest guy in the room with bill mcraven, he might have met his match. commander-in-chief, donald trump, verbally assaulting retired four-star admiral, william mcraven, the navy s.e.a.l., who led the dangerous mission that killed osama bin laden. >> he's a hillary clinton backer. and an o
