kapur: right. and i think some democrats very much do regret the move they made in 2013 given that, yes, it helped them fill some vacancies but arguably made it easier for mcconnell to do what he did with the supreme court there. now it's not clear, there are many democrats convinced otherwise that mcconnell would not have hesitated to make this move even if democrats didn't. this is one of the main things harry lped then leader reid get the votes within his own conference to trigger the option in the first place. there was not a done deal. many older, long-time members like dianne feinstein and patrick leahy who were highly skeptical of that. but they were eventually sold on the democratic argument that mcconnell is not going to do -- he'll do what he is going to do regardless of what we do now. we may as well get the vacancies. mr. kane: the 2013 vote, the final people to come onboard or harry reid weren't old line conservatives. it was leahy, feinstein, barbara boxer in particular because at tha

kapur: mr. kane: i think you can find a story by me in 2007 about how majority leader, minority leader they're both similar institutionalists. a lot of the things we said about mcconnell and how he did the ethics committee, he was doing, a whip, doing all the dirty jobs nobody else wanted to do, harry reid was the same way. they got to their positions the exact same way. what you were saying earlier about how mitch mcconnell looked in the mirror and only saw somebody who could be majority leader, never aspired to be president. that was harry reid. he never wanted to be president either. at first, it worked. they understood each other. they weren't angling to run for president some day. they weren't trying to one up each other politically. but the relationship deteriorated year over year, in part because they each faced tough re-elections in 2010 harry reid in nevada and 2014 mcconnell in kentucky and in that -- that poisoned the well a bit. but ultimately you're right. everybody begins their ter
