fox urgent, reaction and prayers pouring in at this hour as we have learned of the passing of one of the biggest voices in broadcasting. nfl legend and sport anchor frank gifford has died. we're told it was sudden and of natural causes. more on the breaking news story in moments. this is the fox report. we'll begin with a first look at how a few hours of television could change the trajectory of the republican primary race. the 2016 candidates squared off in the first debates of the election season last week, and most of them headed right into the red state gathering in atlanta, georgia. on this sunday, many of them giving their own accounts of how the debates played out. some using one-on-one interviews

to reinforce campaign messages, others trading blows with their rival. kristin fisher live from washington whop were the biggest winners? >> harris, one thing that everyone in the political universe is in agreement on is that carly fee fiorina won the first debate. she says, support for her campaign is surging. but with more support comes extra scrutiny by her firing from hewlett-packard where she was ceo. here's show she handled it. >> i was fired because, when you challenge the status quo, what leadership is about, you make enemies. steve jobs was fired, oprah winfrey was fired, walt disney was fired, i'm in pretty good company. and we need somebody to challenge the status quo of washington, d.c. and get something done. >> one and of the other gop conditions to come out on top, marco rubio. he's received a lot of praise

for his performance during the debate but played confusing comments about abortion, his decision to support legislation that contained exceptions for rape and incest. today he tried to clarify on "meet the press." >> i'll support legislation that reduces nulg of abortions and those have exceptions. i never have said it require must have or not have. >> why not? >> among the nine gop candidates to attend the red state event in atlanta and almost all received high marks. the debate prep helped hone their message. one candidate notably missing, donald trump, disinvited for making controversial comments and today he defended those comments on some sunday show. but he also maintains he won the debate. >> thank you very much. in case you missed it or you'd like to watch it again, encore edition of the prime time gop presidential debate at 8:00 eastern right after we wrap up

"the fox report." pro football hall of famer and broadcasting legend frank gifford has died. his journey phfilled with highlights, most valuable player in 1956. a long and memorable career in sports broadcasting co-hosting "monday night football" for more than a decade. his family released a statement earlier, quote, frank died suddenly. this beautiful sunday morning of natural causes at his connecticut home. we rejoice in the extraordinary life he was privileged to live and we feel grateful and blessed to have been loved by such an amazing human being, end quote. frank gifford was 84 years old. brian now takes a look back at his remarkable life on and off the football field. >> reporter: frank gifford was a football legend and an award-winning broadcaster. born in santa monica, california, august 16, 1930, he went to the university of southern california on a football scholarship where he was named an all-american.

gifford drafted by the national football league's new york giants that same year, and named most valuable player in 1956. throughout gifford's career, teammates resented him for celebrity status especially after their championship win. >> i just never could figure out some of the animosity that i got from players. once i got over the hurt really of that, i just said hell with it and i played my game. >> reporter: in 1960, severe concussion sidelined gifford for the rest of the season. he retired the next year. >> i quit after that year when i did get the blow, because i thought i had three kids, and i want sure i wanted to do that. >> reporter: in 1962, he returned to the game before retiring for good two years later. gifford was inducted into the pro football hall of fame in 1977. he was a broadcaster for multiple networks, both during and after his playing days. including abc and cbs. in 1971, he was named play by

play man for "monday night football" anchoring alongside howard cosell and don meredith. gifford spent 27 years with the show. >> the great, i mean the great, frank gifford. >> reporter: gifford married his third wife, kathie lee johnson in 1986, they had two children, adding a son and daughter. he met johnson while the two work working at "good morning america" gifford caught in a public affair with a flight attendant, susan johnson. first denying it but later admitted to the affair when pictures of two were published. gifford remained married and continued making public appearances. ultimately, frank gifford will be remembered for what he did on the football field and in the announcer's booth. brian kilmeade, fox news. >> for more on frank gifford, chris meyers joins us by phone. thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> the sports world obviously lost an icon today.

what's being said about frank gifford, among athletes at this hour? >> i think athletes, and among the football fans, harris, i think people felt like they lost a friend in football, even if you didn't know frank gifford personally. he had a warm, comfortable delivery. you felt like you knew him, whether from his playing days, hall of fame career in the '50s or ' 60s for 30 years of broadcasting. he was a pregame show before doing "monday night football." he contributed to the growth of football on a television in that area along with his great playing career. a tremendous loss. over five decades, think about that, we thought of frank gifford as either a player or a broadcaster. so he's somebody, i think, we all feel close to when we think about the nfl and the popularity of it. >> for journalists, it was his voice, at least for me. you could tell under video, it didn't matter, you knew frank gifford's voice. he was an inspiration to those of us who were growing up and

having a big dream of journalism. if you could just, chris, from your own personal perspective. >> reporter: well, he was i thought a guy who loved football and he really was not negative or critical i think at a time when people wanted that. as a hall of fame player, pat summerall moved into the play by play role. but for a hall of fame player like frank gifford to become play by play and then defer to don meredith or howard cosell for 2 1/2 decades and the popularity of "monday night football," he was a real professional, and he had a passion for the game without being critical or negative. he would call it like he saw it, but was very likable. really coming from usc and playing for the giants, he had east coast covered, the good look next door kind of look and feel about him, well-dressed and appropriate. had a lot to do, i think with the growth of football. and a likable man. >> for many people, they really only know him as a broadcaster. but when you look back at his

time with the giants, he did something that we don't see a lot of today he had loyalty to one team. >> that's true. all giants and still to this day loved big blue. play defense and offense, the flanker and running back position, half back at that time, receive, they became a star in that area. took ferocious hits going back historically before my time. he was hit hard and he kept on playing. part of the greatest game ever played in the late '50s with baltimore and the giants. he was in that game which grew a bigger national television audience and helped catapult the sport forward. so one of the great contributors to the game who i haven't heard -- some people envious of the good looks and popularity, but people didn't have a bad word to say about him otherwise if they were realistic. >> he did so much in the community in which he lived, he and his wife, kathie lee gifford as well. thank you. >> anytime. >> i just mentioned today show host kathie lee gifford tweeted

this today. take a look. she said, deeply grateful for all four -- to all for your outpouring of grace. we are steadfast in faith in finding comfort and knowing where frank is, phillipians 4:13. president obama is facing stiff opposition within his own political party over his iran nuclear deal. the president is trying to sell the deal to skeptical democratic leaders now. a growing list of them even while you see him on vacation. a live update from martha's vineyard. then there's this. >> this is not an issue of politics. it is an issue simply of human rights. >> a part of the story you may not be familiar with. american victims of terror attacks tell all about it to a judge, and why what they're doing could have a huge impact on the iran nuclear deal. stay close. it's a vacation

president and the video shows golf club in hand. the reality for president obama, he may have to work rather hard to rally support around the nuclear deal with iran. he still says u.s. could eventually have, in his words, constructive relationship with the regime. the president saying in an interview that aired today, those opposing the plan have yet to come up with a better alternative that prevents iran from getting a nuclear weapon. watch. >> the question has to be, is there, in fact, a better path to preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon than this one? and i repeatedly asked, both prime minister netanyahu and others to present me a reasonable, realistic plan that would achieve exactly what this deal achieves and i have yet to get a response. >> kevin corke is traveling with the president on the vineyard. kevin, given the upcoming fight on capitol hill, i'm a little

curious, he already said it twice, tripled down today, comparing a agree with him on this deal with hard-liners in iran. some go as far as say comparing them to terrorists. >> i have to tell you, that's a terrific question. but there's an old saying in politics, right, you say don't pick a fight unless you know you can win the fight. and so politically speaking, understand this, the rhetoric actually probably helps the white house because it tends to galvanize democratic support. that's what they're after, right? galvanizing support on their side of the aisle to prevent a gop veto override down the line. the criticism, frankly, hasn't been limited to capitol hill. it's coming out of iran, too. in fact the supreme leader there among the most vocal critics. the president is saying tonight that that shouldn't surprise anyone. >> i'm not interested in a twitter back and forth with the supreme leader. what i'm interested in is the deal itself and can we enforce

it? keep in mine, fareed, when we got the interim deal, as you're aware, the way this thing evolved, there's always a gap between rhetoric and action. and you know, the supreme leader's a politician, apparently, just like everybody else. >> very interesting take, right? but keep this in mind, as well. in diplomacy, there are no friends and there really are no enemies, right? it's just interests. and you are looking for common interests. sometimes, harris, word that you give to your internal audience, politically, is vastly different from what you might be saying in exchange privately. >> the only word that come to mind is disingenuous. we'll move on. you mentioned rhetoric being part of the strategy. do they have an actual strategy to override a veto if the president has to face more opposition among his own party than maybe he's prepared for? >> terrific. again, remember this about washington. it's all about whipping the votes than means among friends,

remain them gently what we've done for you in the past. how can we help you advance your gaend in the future. an opportunity for the white house to have political adversaries. some have to vote for a deal they don't fully support or in the event of claire mccaskill, taking a much closer look at the deal. >> it's not a perfect deal, obviously. we don't trust iran. but i think too many people are judging this deal against the status quo, not what the new situation would be on the world stage. >> reporter: meanwhile, the president, of course, spending time with family and friends, fellowshiping. in between, a few phone calls. also told he may enlist the support of his vice president and even his secretary of state to get out there to help him sell the deal. i should add, despite a number of high-profile defections including chuck schumer of new york, the white house is

confident they have numbers to withstand a potential gop veto override. but still time between now and the vote in september. we'll see how that pans out. a lot of time for lawmakers to give it a very close look. >> it's 159 pages, find the pdf online, it's not hard to take a close look for any of us. people might be reading that and talking with islamic, that's also happening now and september. >> exactly. thank you. the president's critics on capitol hill are not the only americans raising their voices over the nuclear deal with iran. i group of victims of terror attacks filed a federal lawsuit to stop the government from releasing assets that would put billions of dollars in iran's hands. rick leaven that is working that part of the story. >> reporter: stewart hirsch, a navy veteran, moved to israel 25 years ago. sipping coffee at a pedestrian mall in jerusalem in september 1997 when three hamas suicide

bombers blew themselves up. he suffered brain damage, burns, back injuries. 200 others hurt, 5 israelis killed. >> these people were trained by the republican guard. so naturally that would be iran. and we expected, according to the law, that they would have to compensate us. >> reporter: a u.s. law passed in 1992 allows victims of state-sponsored terror to sue the governments financing the attacks. 2003, hirsch and other victims won a judgment against iran of $400 million but the iranians ignored the order and several others totalling close to $2 billion. tehran has $150 billion frozen in overseas banked supposed to be released when the nuclear deal is approved and economic sanctions are lifted. hirsch and two dozen others say iran's frozen funds are their

last chance at justice. they filed suit against the state department, treasury department and john kerry demanding iran's frozen assets not be released until they get money they're owed. >> these are victims of terrorism. these are america's victims and america should remember them even as they remember iran. >> reporter: attorneys say pursuing the judgments wasn't easy for victims. given iranians frozen funds without compensating people harmed by the regime is a cruel twist, adding insult to injury. >> this is not an issue of politics. it is an issue simply of human rights. >> a state department spokesman says there's no connection between sanctions relief and any outstanding court judgments. and the u.s. holds no control over iran's money. calling this legal matter a separate issue. in new york, rick lieventhal.

>> it's been one year since michael brown was shot and killed in ferguson, missouri. it touched off a violent reaction among people rioting. with that in the past, a look one year later. remembering a legend, we've been talking about him this hour, sportscast somewhere pro football hall of famer, frank gifford has died. ugh! hea to

the police officer shot and killed a teenager in ferguson, missouri. that death sparked riots that shocked the nation, anger in streets because michael brown was black and not armed, the officer was white. a national dialogue ensued about race in america. today demonstrators held hands in a moment of silence, a very different scene, marching from the spot where michael brown

died. his family says they're still in mourning but moving forward. >> the support that i have, for people that lost their kids, that makes me -- it builds me up to make me know i have a bigger mission, you know, than just sit there and just fall. >> brown's father led a march this weekend that ended at his son's high school where he graduated just months before he died. a heartbreaking scene in texas where officers -- where police say stand-off ended the deaths of six children one as young as 6. they were on a routine check in a houston area home when someone opened fire on deputies. the suspected gunman surrendered but first killed two adults and six kids. anita vogel joins us live from our los angeles bureau. >> well, harris, interesting details that we're learning today. the suspect, david conley, had

an on and off relationship with the adult female victim, 40-year-old valerie jackson for years before she married her husband and the oldest child a 13-year-old boy may have been his son. conley told police he discovered the locks to the house had been changed on saturday morning and he slipped into the home through unlocked window. we don't know the motive of the shooting. now, police are trying to piece it altogether. >> mass killings and the taking of the entire family are a tragedy. they're tragic realities that our community has been forced to confront all too often. the impact of such an event in this nature can be felt throughout the ranks of the harris county sheriff's office, throughout law enforcement and throughout the world. >> details coming out are pretty gruesome. police say in addition to gunshot wounds, most of the victims were restrained with handcuffs. david conley is being charged

with several counts of capital murder and he's being held without bail. >> i was reading just how tragic and heartbreaking those deputies felt as they were walking up on to that scene. i know that in this area, this is not an anomaly. >> yeah, you're right. sometimes, harris, truth is stranger than fiction. another very similar incident happened about a year ago last july, about 15 miles from where last night's shooting took place. six members of the stay family were murdered by an estranged family member who dressed up as a delivery plan, forced his way into his sister-in-law's home, held her children at gun point until their parents arrived, tied them all up and opened fire, killing four children, two adults. one young girl survived by playing dead. today, of course, officers could not help but recall this latest shooting had eerie similarities to the one a year ago. the harris county sheriff's department is providing assistance counselors to the officers to help deal with the

tragedy that they're feeling and horror that they saw today. harris, back to you. >> anita, thank you. back to the campaign trail for the republican presidential candidates. who has the momentum now after the debates and the red state gathering this weekend in georgia? can they ride it all the way to the republican party's nomination? the fox news political insiders are going to get miked up here at home base. we want you to chime in while you're watching us. hit us up on our fox news social pages, facebook and twitter. need to hire fast?

former republican congressman for new york, former pollster for president carter and fox news contributor, doug shown and fox news contributor as well. >> good to see you. >> been on vacation. come back, look what happens. who has the momentum now, doug? go first, i would say donald trump from the early indications in a -- i call it scientific poll but some qualifications survey monkey poll reported earlier -- >> what kind of name is that for a poll? >> survey monkey. >> it's a company. but trump has stayed even, i think, there's momentum for ted cruz. i think john kasich did well. rubio did well. not sure jeb bush. i'm not sure that scott walker necessarily did as well as they could. but i think on balance, harris as i like to say bottom line, the republican brand did very well with 24 million people seeing a very good debate and

performance. >> even more than that when you account for the digital somewhere upwards of 35 million. >> which you were on. >> doing social stuff, right, digital. so do you agree with that? if so, why do you think the brand did well this week. >> all you to do is close your eyes and think about 2012 and the debates. >> okay. >> and you know, you think of that field up there and it was not -- i mean, people were much more polished, much more informed, much more interesting. i must say for a multicandidate debate riveting. and then of course carly fiorina who wiped out the first debate and actually in the poll named winner of all of the debates of the entire debate thing and as well as -- they keep getting the thing for my ear, it's too small -- it's -- so they were a winner. and my granddaughter, libby, won all of her dog shows -- >> goodness, we're digressing here. >> so that was my week. >> congrats. john. >> first, i think we have to

draw back and the big story remains, donald trump. the reason that we're 26 million and internet people, trump has done something to politics in this country that is a phenomenon that none of us -- >> >> are you proud of that? >> yes. it's good for the country top have anti-establishment message thrown out is good for the system, good for the people to be able to vent and it's not just him. it's carly, anti-establishment message and dr. carson. here's what's going to happen -- >> so does ted cruz. >> all of the other candidates are watching this that are run, kasich, bush, all watching it, and they're going to, over time, absorb some of this. they'll put a smoother edge to it which will mute it a little bit but this is where the politics is moving and if you've watched political insiders for the last three years, we have been saying, this is where the country's going. by the way, we're not there yet. this is still moving.

>> we're not done. >> not there, right, pat? >> we're in august of the year before and we're having this kind of dynamic, for trump and bernie sanders who drew 12,000 people when they finally got them -- when -- >> seatle. >> -- in seattle. >> something that hillary clinton has not been able to do. >> she can't draw 12,000. >> she can't draw more than a couple of thousand, pat. look, we're in a situation where pat described this as a p prerevolutionary moment that i think we'd all agree is moving towards revolutionary moment. people are angry. they don't want a soft edge politics. they want a blunt-ended politics. >> i want to get to twitter. colleen whitman asks, out of all of the real candidates, not sure what she means, maybe declared people who would insiders most want to see debate hillary clinton? >> that's a very good question. i would start with john kasich, did a very good job, marco rubio did a very, very good job. ben carson, i think, did an

excellent job. i think really hillary is so much of an insider and i know we'll get to her in a second, that really anybody who creates a sharp contrast with her style of leadership in politics will present a compiling picture. >> i think, i think the one who is already debating her every day -- >> carly. >> carly fiorina. and she would really be most entertaining debate. >> i still think she's compelling. >> she laid it out. she lays it out on clinton. on policy, she knows the issues. but i thought that also you know i thought christie, who had been really in trouble, he may not get enough out of the debate, but he looked tough in the debate. >> he did. >> he looked strong. >> i want to ask, particularly you, doug, and pat, have worked on the polling portion of campaigns before, i'm just curious, what kind of a bump do you get from something like this? what's realistic. >> very good question.

we also have worked, pat and i, with preparing candidates for debates. usually you don't get that big a bump out of a debate with the following caveat, in a primary, a chance to get more of a bump and with 26 million people watching on linear tv, 9 million or 10 million online, even more. i think what you're going to see is you're going to see carson probably going up, fiorina going up, trump staying even, maybe -- >> he is up in iowa and new hampshire before the debate. we'll see what happens. >> he'll stay up. rubio, i think will go up. but clearly, the trends are now being established. i think the worrisome sign for jeb and scott walker is that they have not really shown well in the early measurements that have come out. people want harder-edge politics that something that on both sides of the aisle. >> we have this huge anti-establishment,

anti-political class attitudes which trump is blowing up at different points. as i said, sanders has done. no one yet taken it as far as it can go. >> we're watching for it. >> trump is not finished by a long shot. >> the news afterwards, also amounts. >> the obama administration facing opposition from within the democratic party on the iran nuclear deal. we've been talking about it this hour. may be the first order of business when congress returns from summer recess. which side has the votes for or against that deal? insiders coming back. stay with us.

>> we'll get back to the political insiders in a moment. we want to share a statement from frank gifford's old team management, giants president, john mara. released a statement, quote, frank gifford was the ultimate giant. he was the face of our franchise for so many years. more importantly a treasured member of our family.

my father loved him like a son, end quote. frank gifford, as you know, we've been telling you this hour, died today, he was 84. we want to talk about him a little bit more. we are joined by howard kurtz host of media buzz. we talked about what he did for the game of football and broadcasting but he did so much more in his lifetime. >> you know, i don't know anybody who didn't like frank gifford, he had done nothing more than be a championship level hall of fame quarterback for new york giants he'd be remembered today upon his death. but what made him a cultural figure as well as sports figure, was when he teamed up with howard cosell and dandy don meredith on "monday night football" with a new broadcasting in 1970, they were reverent, they joked around, it was about their personalities. we take that for granted in the age of cable tv. at the time it made gifford more famous than being an ex-quarterback.

>> as you look at broadcasting today -- i know this is what yoyou study on media buzz sunday -- anybody that can come close to say that's a frank gifford style? he seems to be cut in a mold of his own. >> he was something of an institution. i mean, there are other sportscasters or former football players or baseball players, basketball players, that have a big following, a certain personality. but i was reading in one of the obits that frank gifford broadcast 588 consecutive nfl games for abc. he was always showing up. he did other things, wide world of sports. what made him an even greater celebrity later in his life was his wife, kathie lee, talked about the family all of the time. i think a lot of americans, whether sports fans or not, alive in 1956 when he won the championship for the giants or not, fell like frank gifford was part of their lives. >> howard kurts. appreciate you taking a couple of moments awe were getting

statements from the giants' president. thank you. good to hear from you. >> nice to be with you. >> back to the fox news political insiders. obama tripling down on the nuclear deal with iran today. the latest pushback coming from within his own democratic party, senators chuck schumer voicing disapproval of the agreement which he calls, quote, troubling. the fox news political insiders are back. when i meant is, the president say last week, and said it again, and then said it again this weekend, that if you don't agree with him about this deal, you are like an iranian hard-liner and you could take that as far as to say terrorists because some are among them. >> one of the most disgusting statements from a president of the united states, maybe one of the worst i've ever heard, because it takes the opposition party and opponents in his own party of which there are some, including schumer, and throws them into the gutter and makes them out like they're bad people for having an opposite opinion

of him. and then let me just say, he also says all of the time -- and kerry does, too -- oh, you haven't offered an alternative to our plan when you criticize. well, that's not true, harris. many republicans and some of the democrats, including menendez, have alternatives, one of which is increase the sanctions, force the downfall of a horrible regime, we did it for -- it took 50 years but we took the soviet union down, both parties -- >> now resurrecting them. >> yeah. the iranians -- >> we have fox news correspondent, i don't know if you were watching earlier in the hour, kevin corke, he said, it's good politics. works for the president because it galvanizes democrats. were are some jumping off the boat that the president's on. >> let me say something what we expect in the level of our politics. this was vile and vicious a

accusation that i've ever seen made by a president. he does it on the anniversary of president kennedy's fantastic speech at american university on the nuclear test ban. john kennedy had just defeated the cuban missile, the russians and the cuban missile crisis decisively. we own the world. the president speaks as though he's giving away the world. we have mike huckabee, maybe what's inappropriate his comments about the president and this deal and the press jumps all over him. he attacked not just the republican party and accused them -- >> talking about obama? >> obama, exactly. as bad as the people shouting "death to america" and then said warmongers. including, by the way, people who voted for the iraq war, including joe biden, his vice president, hillary clinton, john kerry. it is unbelievable lies -- >> what is the word out of the

white house on senator schumer or anybody who might not -- hold on -- who might not agree with the president? watch john earnest late last week reacting, press secretary for the white house, watch. >> i certainly wouldn't be surprised if there are individual members of the senate democratic caucus that will consider the voting record of those who say they would like to leave the caucus. >> is that a threat? >> yeah. >> yes. >> what does it mean? >> indicted menendez for nothing, that hillary clinton hasn't done ten times worse. >> today, before we got here -- >> if you don't agree you could have political problems. is that what he meant? >> got an e-mail from democrats.org saying, chuck schumer should not be the leader of the democratic caucus in the senate when harry reid retires because of his position, that schumer, basically, is advocating war with iran. this is outrageous behavior.

pat and john, harris, totally correct in saying this is unbecoming a president, politically destructive and, frankly, it weakens america to show this level of divisiveness and divisiveness in the context -- >> where is criticism in the media of this? >> already. this is what i wanted to ask. is it fair to say, from a media standpoint, as you're covering this, that this looks like, at any cost from the president? >> absolutely. >> is that fair? >> absolutely. >> maybe at a white house press corps briefing you might want to ask that dquestion, is the president willing to put it all out on this? >> with the country opposing him and the opposition, as much as 2-1, and will be higher, i've been doing polling on this nationally and in new york, i want to tell you, the american people, it is a two-thirds proposition against him once they hear the facts. they believe that he is not telling the truth about what's

going on. we have already seen the iranians this week breaking the deal. we have the man who killed 300, 500 -- >> a global terrorist in russia meeting with putin. >> has sanctions on him and goes right to moscow before the ink dries. we had the situation -- >> what did the administration say about it? squat. >> investigating. >> nothing. nothing. >> the same thing happened this week, the scientist, the iaea said they were supposed to interview, they said, no. meanwhile, chinese and russians and planning to sell nuclear reactors. this deal the american people know is not in their interest because they don't believe it. when he says -- we'll have a war, let me ask you this, this ought to be the counterargument, ten years, when iran has not only nuclear weapons but ballistic missiled to deliver them and also a massive army and conventional sources from the money.

>> question. >> are we better off taking one now or then. >> take them on now. say no to the deal. >> all right. no doubt we'll talk more about this. i'm seeing social media come in

test

social media so hot right now, we'll have the rest of the show the people. lynn b. says, harris, you had a three-team panel talking candidates and debate polling results with no mention of senator ted cruz, what the heck. >> we began with ted cruz. the survey monkey poll showed imsurging. i'm not sure he has moved as much as that poll suggested, doubling his support. but clearly a good night for ted cruz. when they can capitalize on that momentum remains the question.

>> randy belette, electoral math as it is isn't every democrat almost unbeatable. >> no, that's not true. we say that like when we have the cycle when republicans, democrats couldn't win. the question is, for instance, on the iranian deal, hispanics have defected from the democratic party in such massive numbers that if the republican party were smart, they would be able to overream them on senate security issues. >> has the republican party in the debate has yet to do what the post-election audit suggested move to the center on social issues. the republicans need to run the table with states like florida, ohio, colorado, a couple of others. >> virginia. >> the math works against the republicans but, pat is right in the larger point if the democratic message and the president collapses, as is
