david mentioned the concept of rhino and being kantered. but i was thinking that in new england we saw that process a little before l before eric kanter. we saw joe leiberman lose his primary. because he was not -- he was a demo instead of a rhino. he was a democrat in name only. in his particular case he was able to run in the general anyways and defeat the democratic nominee. and at the end of that term he retired. but it's a process we've been seeing, and i think sadly we're going to see more of it as the parties go to the two extremes, you're not going to have moderates left on either side. i think that's the worse for america that's happening that, you know, for me, for someone to say eric kanter wasn't conservative enough is just mind-boggling and yet that's what his opponent ran on. if you remember, i studied this a little bit. the issue being whipped, whipped on the house floor at the time. john boehner was having the whip organization assess support for an immigration reform bill. okay? and you know people were looking at, well, th

that was the number one issue to attack eric kanter on. even though he had not made pronouncements on it one way or the other, it was still used to attack him. and lane love and behold he's defeated and then there was no mention of every whipping or bringing an immigration bill to the flash flood for the republicans after that. and you know, obama was like, why can't you do that. but it's like, well, you know, there aren't other members who want to sacrifice their career on an issue that we just saw the majority leader of the house defeated in hi own primary for. it's something that worries incumbents of both parties. nobody wants to stick their neck out so far. and depending on the year, somewhere between like 60% and 80% of districts are considered safe for one party or the other. so those people aren't worry ied about the general election opponent. they're only worried if at all about a primary opponent. to me, something has to give this tl. several weeks ago david and i were on a panel and we were just talking about, well, will the cal

the way that he celebrated eric kanter losing his seat.rstand, if you're a republican insurgent why that must be very exciting. but if you're the republican party, if they're going to be responsible for a lot of the ground game and all of this stuff, how could they work with him? >> we had sean spicer in our shared office just the other day. >> they're just swallowing it. >> no, i talked to chairman priebus once or twice a day now. i really like the way that the official, you know, the republican party nationally, rachel, and treating us and working with us. i'm pleased with that. i think it comes on the heels of this -- letters people are writing, please put the resources down-ballot and please, don't destroy the republican party. chairman priebus doesn't feel that way and speaker ryan doesn't. in a trump presidency, i'll be the first one to go up and thank speaker ryan and work with him. we both work for jack kemp at different points in our career. >> how about steve bannon? >> he'll do it too. >> after doing everything he could to destr

we live in the age when eric kanter lost his primary in an absolute shocker that nobody saw coming. though every sign was pointing to a sidable paul ryan win in this primary before tonight, everyone still had that slight bits of hesitation that maybe there was something we weren't seeing. the numbers are out there, we weren't missing anyplathing. paul ryan has survived his primary challenge easily. a comfortable win for him. he will go on and fight in the general election. of course this district is not an overwhelmingly republican district. four years ago when he was republican nomination for vice president, he ran in this district to re-election to his house seat, got 55% of the vote. could still be a little interesting for him in november. but again, the headline, paul ryan survives the primary. much more, stay with us, we'll be right back. i work as professional mountain guide and the surface pro 4 allows me to actually operate my business from everest. i help clients achieve their dreams. being able to go between having a laptop and having a tablet is really important to me...

trump's comments prompted former house majority leader eric kanter to tweet that he's pleased to see real donald trump embrace jeb bush's immigration plan, the very plan trump lambasted in the primary. came on the night ann coulter is having a party for her new book celebrating trump. a book which includes this line. there's nothing trump can do that won't be forgiven, except change his immigration policies. rush limbaugh, for one, found the whole thing hilarious. >> who knew that it would be donald trump to come along and convert the gop base to supporting amnesty on the same week ann coulter's book comes out? poor ann! >> back with benjy sarlin, who's been covering immigration for a very long time. so, i mean, i guess to take a macro view, we should be clear, there is no policy on the hardest part of immigration policy, the hardest part is what to do with 11 million people, the most contentious, right. and there's no policy there. people talk about a flip flop, this or not, it's just unclear that he's thought about it. >> it's like he's just working out the entire debate that the p

all the best known republican leaders in the country, to fire the republican majority leader eric kanter, by costing him seat with the republican primary challenger in congress. they also helped lead the charge to fire john boehner as the republican speaker of the house, and ultimately forced him out of congress altogether. breitbart more than anyone, tried this year, to cost paul ryan his speakership. by trying to drum up national support for the republican challenger to paul ryan in his home district a couple weeks ago. the man has championed all those efforts to take out and humiliate the republican party's top elected leaders. is the republican party really going to feel comfortable working with him closely to elect donald trump, to run the trump ground organization, for example? the arizona republic reports donald trump's top donor, robert mercer, the main funder of breitbart.com, the man who brought the chairman of breitbart onto the trump campaign, to put him in charge of that presidential effort, "the arizona republic" reports today, that robert mercer, trump's top donor, is now

re we going to see another kanter repeat here? guest: i think no one expects rein to lose or come close to losing today. he has a huge amount for his campaign account compared to his primary challenger paul nehlen. host: obviously they would have to spend them by today if they're going to make their point before election day, correct? guest: yes, but there's no indication that rein has been spending heavily, which you would expect him to do if he was in any real danger. polls have shown rein with an enormous lead over his opponent. host: when are we expecting to know about that rein race as returns come in tonight? guest: it sort of depend on how long it takes votes to be counted but i wouldn't be surprised if the a.p. called it shortly after returns start coming in as you mentioned, people has paid a lot of attention to this primary in part because of house majority leader eric kantor's loss two years ago in virginia. if anything, i think the press has sort of overcompensated here, treating really someone who's a long-shot candid
