do with concerned constituency groups within their core bases. with the tea party wing, they want to dismantle health care. if the republicans leave with that, that's a recipe for gridlock. we already saw a government shutdown over it. it will be incendiary. then you have the democrats, president obama made a promise to hispanic community about -- specifically about taking action on immigration since congress would president act. the republicans say if he does that, that's inincendiary. if he doesn't, his base will feel like they lied to him. they're in their both odd boxes. they have to figure out their own politics and figure out where are they going to meet when they have a d versus r combination. >> were you surprised by the maryland race and virginia race. >> they are the big shockers. >> if i was with the democratic party in the white house, the two states that know the most

about washington, know the most of the story of this function, basically vote to punish the president or punish the president's party here. turnout wasn't lower, but maybe the makeup of the turnout. i feel like these races -- there's something here that democrats and the white house ought to not ignore. maryland and virginia, they know this town better than most, the other 48 states and look how they voted. >> i'm sure they'll be tapping into that when they launch this new review. all right chuck todd, big show coming up. >> absolutely. >> you can see "meet the press" with chuck on sunday right after our show here, "news 4 today." today you are going to be able to get a look at the private art collection of bill cosby and his wife camille. they've donated some art to the national museum of african art.
