move off of that. the best are pub can brand. >> a democratic controversy. we took a news call about colorado's caucus system. the marty of the votes are to bern knee but how does this work? >> this seems to be a problem. >> the rules of both parties are for insiders. the delegates that gekt selected will be bern nissan ders support ires. they've already placed hillary clinton. >> where do you see berie sanders role?

my caucus 75 people in my single precinct a good after of whom i've never seen before. a lot of young people in was important. and he's also forces hillary clinton o get her legs. but this damage on the republican side is incredible. republicans are in a tough spot. behind door number one is donald trump. behind door number two is mitt romney and ted cruz. and alternative number three is going to be donald trump playing the -- he'll come out of this thing. then you're in a tough spot. >> it's going to be a real challenge. the republican party has been following the rules. and if donald trump comes in the

those rules and he will become the nominee. credentials, rules inseeder stuff. resign themselves to fact that that's the case. then you will see republican officials running for local office doing everything they can to distance themselves from someone who doesn't respect and reflect the party's historic brand. it may be a ca that are tick moment for the party where they work all of the anger out. and then they can say this is what happens when you vote angry. the democratic party hasn't given people much of a federal alternative. and it puts the american people to a hard choice when both parties are doing their job. >> what does it say when you still don't have anything figured out that we know today

see a brokered convention. where's the difference between this is entertaining and we don't have our stuff together. >> i think that's why mitt romney stepped forward to try to tell everybody to behave like adults and voting with our middle finger is not going to lead us further along. it's actually going to lead to a happy with? >> is a good messenger for that speech? >> who else could step forward? the chairman of the national committee can't do it because he has to oversee a process. there are very few voices that can offer that kind of thoughtful rns and command the attention that mitt romney did. i think his words and his plea to republican voters around the country i hope will be heeded,

able to lay out a marker to say that is not republicanism and if the voters decide to go down that road i hope they'll be able to see that there was another path that there was. >> but when you watch these debates there are record numbers of people watching these debates. at some point people's like the name calling and finger pointing. >> look the challenges i think the american people have been desensitized that this is just reality television. i think that some people aren't necessarily really understanding the result of their decisions or maybe they're hopeful that the republican establishment will save them from themselves. >> house of cards is back on net fliks and it's going to be borg by comparison. >> why is it considered

doing something with your vote if you're supporting strum p. why are we insulting those voters that support trump by saying you're not smart enough? >> i think that was part of romney's plea he's begging them to be thoughtful. he's empowering voters. >> why aren't they? >> they are making that decision. >> voters are angry. voters are frustrated with the political gridlock that they perceive. they're frus tated right wing radio. and what they're seeing in their own communities. they're feeling powerless. so it is the political scientists will tell you that it is natural to look towards a strong authoritarian type figure.

you guys invited donald trump to the party. mitt romney said clearly, he said things about the kkk yourscn`0 ago. he was a serious birther years ago. that was good enough for an endorsement back then. when you allow that to seep in you're going get some response like this. >> we will be debating this for weeks. it still won't be decided by the time summer rolls around. >> thank you both for being with us. and we will can't this of course. the brot tom lieb line is people are intretsed.

clinics that would shut down abortions in texas. >> texas cares about our women. that is what this is all about. women's health and quality of care for whatever kind of decision that she should should make. >> women are hurting in the state of texas and louisiana and all across this country because legislature are passing bills that keep women from help that they need. and we will not stand for it. >> and joining us to talk about the texas case is josh willson a professor who has written a book on the policy behind this. let's start with why is abortion still the most heated topic in this country right now? >> so kind of the popularity for lack of a better term has ebbed and flowed over time.

lately because state legislatures have been trying the push the limits on whey that can do. we've had a shift from in the 80s and 90s where we had row haves wade to a recalculation and recalibration to chip away at. which really came to national attention when texas was trying to pass these laws. and the public was made aware of what had been going on. >> the texas case that the supreme court is going to hear what's the impact of the eight justices hearing this case and how could it impact the country? >> it's quite interesting because you have eight justices. popular opinion is it's likely to be a 4-4 split.

rules whatever they decide decides for the entire country. but when you have a split it only applies to the district that it came out of so it would be texas, louisiana, and ms so if that happens what will likely happen in the future is we'll have differences in law which will encourage the court to hear another case in the future. they tend to while you get variation within them they tend to follow similar themes. when you have a class of laws in this case generally they're termed trap laws. and so as i was saying before instead of having a frontal assault you try to chip away at access. one of the ways you can do that is by regulating the clifrnic itself and what's happened in texas is you change the

needs to be like and that forces a lot of facilities to then close. you can also do things in terms of staffing and doctor requirements. you hear about doctors needing local hospitals. so you find these same basic themes that go on in conservative state legislatures across the country. >> there are a handful of bills that a ledge slarture here dealing with abortion it's a democratic house and governor far. one of them is new it would regulate abortion clinics under the attorney general. to me that's not his job. they're getting creative now. >> you used the right word. they're getting creative.

that antiabortion activists can pull from you're also looking to experiment. what might give you some political or stra tee gik advantage. it can translate over into other states if it works. >> what you're saying is this issue will never be resolved. >> typically what happens -- what's been the theme over the last 20 plus years is that this experiment they put out some piece of -- resets the parameters of what's possible. then you go back to drawing board and see what you can push forward with. you're right nothing gets resolved it's just challenging form and continuing to go. >> if the texas case end in a tie could it be heard again once

>> there's lots of variations but likely what would happen is that you would get a case from a different court. but then because we have these themes of how it works you'd have a similar enough case that could be heard in the next year or two. >> does this topic ever go away? >> it seems to never go away even though it's interesting to watch the court. it's one of the biggest cases dealing with abortion since 1992. and the as you weresying, the shelf life, no but the court has actively trying to not hear this kind of case.

what is this miraculous invention? it separates our side of the room from theirs. listen. now you hear them. now you don't. every family deserves a two-room suite.
