why i think that the democratic party, and if i were the nominee, as the democratic candidate, why i feel i could do a better job than mr. nixon could do. i think mr. nixon is a formidable candidate. i think whoever is nominated will have a difficult fight with him. i personally happen to believe that i can defeat mr. nixon, but i think it will be a very -- i don't think it will be who is the toughest gut-fighter. >> mr. wilson? >> i would like to ask one question on this vice presidency, and then move to something else. is it not a fact that the circumstances this year may be somewhat different than they have been previously with respect to the vice president? i refer to the common statement made among politicians that you as a roman catholic might suffer some difficulty as a candidate for president, as alfred e. smith did, but that as vice president you would add a great deal to the ticket. isn't that a different set of circumstances than previously existed, and what is your reaction to it? >> mr. wilson, i would be extremely sorry if they said, we won't take kennedy because he is

we support the democratic party because the democratic party has a progressive agenda. but talking about the 1965 voting rights act, that law was enacted, first of all, because of the literacy test. and once we got rid of the literacy test, and african-americans began to register to vote in large numbers. but because of racially polarized voting, african-american candidates had difficulty getting elected. the vote rights act was enforced, and because of that, we now have minority districts and now african-americans are serving in the congress. >> all right. i want to thank former mayor of san francisco, willie brown, hillary shelton from the naacp, and congressman butterfield. thanks for joining us tonight. that is "all in" for this evening. chris will be back tomorrow. you can catch my show, "up with

the president will be raising money for the democrats he can party -- democratic party where areas with ticket prices were

would he fit in today's democratic party. dana, one of the reasons that's been raised is because kennedy cut taxes from 90% down to 65% marginal tax rates were brought down, which is something the democrats -- well, not necessarily known for doing today. it was a different time, a different economy, a different very optimistic country. >> right. so facts and circumstances basically determine a lot of this. yesterday we asked the question about in the gettysburg address when it comes to abraham lincoln, they asked a bunch of kids did they know whether he was republican or democrat. they didn't have any idea. i don't think anybody has any misunderstanding that jfk was a democrat because the democrats have basically put him up as their martyr and their hero for many years. he was only president for 1,000 days. not a lot of time to make a big impact. as president bush just said, if you're the 43rd president or if you're the 38th president, you don't know what your legacy is going to be like. obviously we're spending a lot of time

, chairman of the broward county democratic party. let me tell you, folks, south florida is going to be the key for the democrats. because demographically, obviously, the democrats have got a good hold down here. but there is a great feeling that the latino vote is underdeveloped. a heard a lot of that over the last 24 hours. and let me ask you, the latino community, will it be the deciding factor in this election? give us the numbers. what is out there, what can be done, what can be cultivated and where is it going? >> well, we have grown as a population. we now are 25% of florida. so it's -- this is a voter, not just that live here, hispanics. so it's a lot of people and a lot of votes that can turn an election. remember, president obama won florida by 70,000 votes. our last gubernatorial race, we lost by 70,000 votes. so it is just amazing how that small amount of votes in a huge state like florida can make such a difference. and in south florida, specifically, where we have a lot of hispanics and a lot of african-americans, we can

between obama's legacy and the future of the democratic party. it's going to be deeb sided in those elections in november 2014. it was so telling that senator dianne feinstein of california who is in an absolutely safe seat or jeff mercly, the senator from oregon said they were thinking of signing on to this interim fix. they are afraid if they lose control of the senate, they will be in the minority. dianne feinstein will lose her chairmanship. >> if sperling is right, this is just a transition, we just have to muscle it through, take the heat. that's what they're telling democrats, as i understand it. they're basically saying, look, this is going to be a rough period but you got to break a few eggs to make an omelet and this is going to be all fine by election day. why is that wrong? >> well, where's the omelet? >> it's out there. it's on the next stove. it's coming. >> if you look at the enrollment numbers that they released this week, only about 100,000 enrollments nationwide. 27,000 through the 36 federal exchanges. so i think this program i

the democratic party. now he's made the full transition from republican to independent to democrat. as evidenced by his announcement monday that he would run for governor, this time under a new party label. >> so, yes, yeah, i'm running as a democrat. and i am proud to do it. >> he's trying a difficult political trick, winning a major political race with one party, then switching sides and winning again. many have tried, few have pulled it off. among the ones who have done it successfully on a statewide level, richard shelby elected as a democrat in 1978, joined the republicans in 1994 and has been re-elected three times. phil gramm from texas elected as a democratic congress, switched to the gop, served as republican this-in the house and eventually the u.s. senate. ben nighthorse campbell switched in '95. served for ten more years. on the state level, alabama governor fob james served as a democrat from '79 to '83 then won a turn as a republican back in the '90s. david beasley served in the south carolin

>> no, look, what bill clinton did back in the 1990s was expand the democratic party. the party was no longer a regional party, it became a national party, a party that could -- >> because he moved it to the center? >> because he moved it where the mainstream of america was, where the left and right could actually get together and get things done. hillary clinton, if she decides to run will be a formidable candidate, because i think like bill clinton, she has the ability to reach out to some of the republicans who might be scared off by a party that's gone so far right that they can't make another turn. she might be able to broaden the democratic coalition and build upon that. >> you don't think elizabeth warren will pull her left. >> elizabeth warren is an outstanding senator if she decides to run. we have a good healthy bench. she would be a. amy clo buch article, we have great women and great men. martin o'malley. >> let me ask you a question. i think these guys will try to go back and try to relitigate bill clinton. obviously we were mad at him for a while, for tho

we had what he said the democratic party democratic elections alone what kind of people the trade the body. he seemed upset at all. still with you now that democrats added. granted i would get so up and all. well done. so just a little. holding out his shirt said that he has no scruples they need that strength in numbers. democrat politics in the area has been living for themselves down here addressing the lunchtime crowd seemed to think about they bring with them the sequel. as the count is still with the government on this day the prime minister easily defeated a motion of no confidence. this was the message of reconciliation rather than confrontation among them. we need to talk they need to stop him first this would be the best solution so everybody will be relaxed. then we can discuss the way out for our country despite the opposition and franco becoming the type of tea still come on into the true majority the democrats haven't won an election for more than twenty years. despite the tournaments and that is unlikely to change. it is our students. it finds a way to win the election.

is the democratic party erupting into a civil war on the left plank? and the clinton democrats on the right plank? >> no. they are just following bill clon ton who knows when the water reaches the main deck, you follow the raft. >> the president is giving bill clinton the presidential medal of freedom next week. all is well. >> i don't think it's a civil war. everyone is panicked and scattering in different directions not knowing what to do to save their political skin. that's what it is. >> the reason why it's not a civil war. obama is joining the other side. finally, they all knew it was wrong. they came to see it, it was a political disaster for the democratic party. it revitalized the party. the shutdown of a congress. this is a huge mistake for the democrats and they all know it. >> the answer to the question is that there is a civil war. the civil war is between clinton and obama progressives. you got it? >> you're wrong. >> that's the war. issue three, the kerry shuttle. >> i'm happy to be here with my former colleagues because i joined with the

and it was about how democrats would be the primitive american party. they basically lost only one election since that book was written in 2004. this demographic issue, you can't overlook it. >> well, charlie, let me ask you about the demographics, because the message of peter's book was that democrats had been so enthralled to the interests of margealized groups, including racial minorities, that they were not able to appeal to mainstream wide voters. what we've seen since then is that the proportion of white voters has gone down. what are the implications of politics going forward of the fact that the republican nominee get 6% of the white vote, the democratic nominee got 8% of the non-white vote. are we headed toward a kind of racial polarization in voting that is going to create other problems and become self-fulfilling? >> well, i've yet to write a book, but my takeaway from peter's book is never make that definitive a statement that will plague you for the rest of your career. anyway. you can slice it or dice it demographically or you can slice it

becoming more of elizabeth warren's party according to gallup the percentage of democrats with very negative views of the banking industry increased more than five fold since two thousand and seven between two thousand and one two thousand and eleven the percentage of democrats who are dissatisfied with quote the size and influence of major corporations and quote rose from fifty one to seventy nine percent so could elizabeth warren make a run for president two thousand and sixteen and pose a real threat to hillary clinton and her support base could she even win the democratic nomination is the democratic party undergoing a progressive transformation sam your thoughts on i think perhaps i mean yes there's a kind of a mainstream coalescing around hillary clinton who hasn't even decided whether she's going to run or not but there's an enormous amount of progress is out there who are disappointed with the obama administration disappointed with how the president handled wall street and was handled our wars drone surveillance all these things who see hillary clinton as an extension of tha

democratic party. i do believe in a two-party system. >> yes, in the back. >> my name is miguel. i'm a junior. my question was, do you think -- would you consider phyllis schlafley a feminist of sorts, someone who was able to bring the voice to traditional women? >> yes. i mean, that's an excellent question, i think. is she a feminist? well, some people have portrayed her this way. i don't think that's an accurate characterization, though. because what it neglects is that women, conservative women, have been long involved in politics even in civic affairs even before the got suffrage. kind of ironically, women were very involved in the federalist party, the so-called conservative party. the were involved in the whig party. the were involved in local affairs, the temperance movement, the anti-slavery movement. the ran for school board. the were involved in local issues. so this idea that women weren't involved in politics until we had gloria steinem who we talked about is just a mischaracterization of h

to the democratic party. on the one cannot examine the life and legacy of george wallace without examining it within the context of clay's statement. on that statement is actually the motto of the congressional black caucus also. that is, black -- the black community has no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, just permanent interest. so, a few things are clear about the life and legacy of george wallace. first, he had political am bi s ambition. he wanted power. it was very clear they wanted power. someone started out at a populist, a liberal, some describe ace socialist in his legislative career turned out to be a segregationist. now, all thole he turned out to be a segregationist, later in life he apologized for his views. he asked people to forgive him. he admitted that he was wrong. one of the things that's surprising about george wallace's life and his political career is the amount of support that he received from the black community on the 1982 election. people described this support as overwhelmi

but in the end the former democratic party chairman, terry mcauliffe, pulled it out defeating republican ken cucinnelli who was embraced by the tea party movement. 48% for mcauliffe, 45% for cucinnelli. 7% for the libertarian candidate robert sarvis. in the end mcauliffe will be the next governor of virginia. in new jersey a big re-election win for the republican incumbent governor chris christie. his acceptance speech tonight

against the democratic party having betrayed her. >> what she said is true. i feel for her because she really worked this. she was out there every day. that is a hard thing to do when you don't have the money in the media. the thing is, barbara only had this nomination because her party gave up on it. if the democratic party decided they could contest and win this, it's a very machine heavy state. somebody else would have been in that position. if you don't like what christie has done as governor, if you don't like the pension bill that he put forward, he got that through not because chris christie wanted it but because the democrats who have formed an alliance with him from south jersey to a few other pockets wanted it too. they got it through. they went to sleep on john course signed, they were in nonfactor. that is where they had it. >> in terms of the way that this translates to the next round of politics, i have never understood why the size of chris christie's martin in his reelection effort would say something important about his presidential reelectio

but the democratic party has never been the same. after kennedy, the democratic party moves left, left, left and more left. ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. brian, that is completely antithetical to what the democratic party does today and has for decades stood for. >> i don't know why, larry, the democratic party doesn't come back to its true roots, which is standing in the face of sluggishness, even if it's engendered by republicans and cutting taxes. here's a little secret. in 1980, ted kennedy actually signed the joint economic report that advocated another tax cut. and the reason he gave is the tax cuts will increase revenues. yes, the laffer curve, ted kennedy said it in 1980. tax cuts will increase revenues. and that's how we'll fund social programs. >> but later on, i think kennedy wrote a letter by staff -- i don't know, art, the letter was to you or to steve moore or to me or somebody disowning saying the reagan tax cuts helped the rich and the kennedy tax cuts didn't help the r

it's going to hurt the democratic party. could be wrong.. i could be wrong. wi with -- we need to be careful of how people get into the system the bottom line is that people need health care. we've got to stop it pechlt goring bankrupt trying to get their health care bills paid. >> time magazine putting governor christy on the cover with the word "elephant". laura engram has thoughts on. that then, you're mad at hell. more letters from you guys that want to vent. those reports right after these messages. overmany discounts to thine customers! [old english accent] safe driver, multi-car, paid in full -- a most fulsome bounty indeed, lord jamie. thou cometh and we thy saveth! what are you doing? we doth offer so many discounts, we have some to spare. oh, you have any of those homeowners discounts? here we go. thank you. he took my shield, my lady. these are troubling times in the kingdom. more discounts than we knoweth at to do with. now that's progressive. at any minute... ...you could be a victim of fraud. most people don't even know it. fraud could mean lowe

the republican wing of the democratic party. you guys are gaining upon me, but here in texas, i d't know if we think like you. not a conservativ republican. he is the republica wing of the democratic party. what he is all about is chris christie. what works inew jers right now with the democrati legislature that he has is not going to work in texas. frankly, i don't think it will work anywhere in america. lou: does this man have a point? >> i think he is just a larger-than-life personality, a great character. it is like mayor guiliani, but once he got out into the midwest, the heartland, that ball i thatna shop rough new york politician di n play ..3 a lot of guys like that speaking at their dinners. when it comes down to pulth lever, they don't pull the lever for thoseuys. >> excuse me. i have a different view and slightly different from mark. i think the reason -- lou: we don't have room for more than two fus here.

that's where the syria club and coalition of neighbors the democratic party, affordable housing folks are all in support of a no vote on proposition b and c >> mr. barb any thoughts and a year and a half there's a lot of support for proposition b and c from spur and labor and planning and several other democratic clubs. there are a huge number of people who are not afraid of the scare tactics that are being used to try to compare this with the fontana towers it's on the image of downtown. the reason the planning department that suggested having higher heights is because the proximity felt buildings near by. all the properties have height limits the city plans call fooz 40 feet and the idea this is going to set any precedent is a scar tactic and i'm surprised others are fall for that. you see what you get and you see the benefits to the people of san francisco >> we're talking about a one hundred and thirty luxury condos that on the waterfront. there's a lot of money involved here and only a few people that are able to live in those condos so this is bizarre and it does set a precedent

the democratic party did not invest in this election. the democratic party nationally and the state level gave up a year ago in this raise. really worked this thing. she was out there every day, and that is a hard thing to do. the thing is, barbara bono only had this nomination because her party gave up on it. if the democratic party decided they could win this, somebody else would have been in that position. it is the story of chris christie's governorship. the democrats, who formed an alliance with him, from south jersey and other pockets of the state, they got it through. they went to sleep on jon corzine in 2002 and they were a nonfactor this year. that's one of the stories here in new jersey. >> in terms of the way this translates to the next round of politics, i've never understood why the size of chris christie's margin in his re-election effort would say something important. he did everything he could to drive up the margin. obviously the democrats sort of folded. that helped. but 6-1 he outspent the democrat he was running again

and congratulations to you and to the tireless staff of the new hampshire democratic party. for putting together another fantastic event and for your work day in and day out. thank you. ray, you and your staff have continued to make our victories possible. with democratic wins across the state just as much. including a huge win for our newest state representative from nashua.

do you feel at home in the democratic party? or do you feel like your fight is partly with your own side to get your fellow democrats to make these issues a priority? >> i think this is our moment. i think we have come to understand that you know, america changes much of the time. it is in increments. it is in small pieces. but we truly have come to the crossroads now. and there are two very different visions of how we build a future. the republicans have made theirs clear. you know, you protect those at the very top. you make sure they have got the maximum number of loopholes and subsidies. and everyone is, so be it. in other words, their vision is, i got mine, the rest of you are on your own. our vision is different. it says that we really do make these investments together. and when we make these investments together, we build a strong future. not just for some of us. but for all of us. the pieces are tied together. we're here tonight to talk about social security. and that is what i want to attack about. i'm glad to fight fo

tea party to the fact that the democrats seem -- they cannot say enough bad things about tea party. in other words i have never heard of such a group being so badmouthed and all they want to do is create something that is center for a little right of center. i have never heard such -- and i am 77 years old. it is why i have never heard such horrible things being said about a group of people. host: --guest: the tea party is on the ballot in a few states. i think that the originators of the tea party tended to emphasize more the connection of that term with the 18th century, "don't tread on me" kind of tea party. for reasons pedro mentioned earlier, there has not been a lot of emphasis on party building of that. working within the republican party -- i do not see it as basically a third-party or probably even as a potential third-party. it is an outsider party. it is a party that's overlapping with a comparable party to the left or a comparable move in -- comparable movement. the two major parties are corporate controlled and the two major parties leave a lot to be desired. a viewer a

and it's going to hurt the democratic party. i could be wrong mr. kucinich. i could be wrong. >> we need to make sure the people can get into the system. i'm not happy with the way it's rolled out. >> i should take it over. i'm going toll -- >> -- the womb line is, people need healthcare. we have got to stop it where people are going bankrupt trying to get their healthcare bills paid. >> all right, dennis. thanks very much. directly ahead, "time" magazine putting governor christie on the cover with the word elephant. laura ingraham has some thoughts on that. then you're mad as hell and we have more letters from you you guys who want to vent. those reports after these messages. pain. once you feel it coming, it's almost too late. or is it? introducing new fast acting advil. with aultra-thin coating and fast absorbg advil ion core™ technology, nothing works faster. new fast acting advil. new jersey governor chris christie easily won re-election on tuesday night. that prompted this headline "the elephant in the room" since it's well known that governor christi

the democratic party nationally and at the state level gave up on this race. this is the thing, i think what she's saying is true, i feel for barbara bonin, she spent the last year, she really worked this thing. she was out there every day, that's a hard thing to do when your party isn't around you, you don't have the money and the media. barbara bono only had this nomination because her party sort of gave up on it. if the democratic party decided they could contest this and they could win this, this is a very machine heavy state, somebody else would have been in that position. and it really is the story of chris christie's governorship. like, if you don't like what christie has done as governor, if you don't like for instance the pension bill that he put forward, well, he got that through not because chris christie won it, he got it through because the democrats who have formed an alliance with him from south jersey and few other pockets of the state wanted it too. they got it through. they went to sleep on jon corzine on 2009, a nonfact they are year. >> in
