neutrogena®. >>> let's bring back our gaggle, angela rye, jackie kucinich.g information coming in here. valerie jarrett is going to go to the supreme court arguments today. nancy pelosi is going to go tomorrow. you're seeing a push by high profile democrats to show their faces. ranesh i want to talk about 2014 in the quest to make mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader, which i'm sure you'll be a part of in some capacity. i want to ask you, as you see these states opening up, michigan, south dakota, michigan could be competitive, west virginia very much a pickup opportunity you have over there, and iowa as well -- how important is it for republicans to nominate those sort of establishment folks and not go down the buck angle o'donnell issues they had in 2010, and more recently, todd akin. >> now that you've made me a republican strategist, which must be very distressing for the minority leader, i would say it's wrong to think of it as a tea party fringe issue. george allen, tommy thompson, nick berg, connie mack, none of these folks were tea party extrem

thanks to angela rye anded to t shepard. >>> coming up, rand paul's philosophy on gun safety?hy bother? stay with us. >> we have laws against murder and we should have laws against murder, but that doesn't seem to be deterring these people. i've always had to keep my eye on her... but, i didn't always watch out for myself. with so much noise about health care... i tuned it all out. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. we create easy-to-use, powerful trading tools for all. look at these streaming charts! they're totally customizable and they let you visualize what might happen next. that's genius! we knew you needed a platform that could really help you elevate your trading. so we built it. chances of making this? it's a lot easier to find out if a trade is potential

joining us is political strategist angela rye, principal of impact strategies and msnbc contributor joy thegrio.com. the search is on for the republican party's next top model and we have a new poll out today giving us an early look at the party's 2016 favorites and with hypothetical match-ups against hillary clinton. so we have chris christie who loses by the smallest margin, 45% to 37%. mrs. clinton's lead grows larger up against the great paul ryan who would lose 50% to 38% and marco rubio would fall short by a margin of 50% to 34%. so i guess the moral of the r lesson is the more popular you are at cpac the less popular you are. >> saying a lot of hip-hop artist names, not the best strategy. >> what do you think is behind that? >> i think he's trying to be cool. and before -- >> it's like watching your granddad at a disco. >> exactly. before he kept dating himself by only mentioning hip-hop artists from the '90s. at least he's mentioning modern day artists but it's annoying. >> i agree with that. angela, we mentioned the big gathering at cpac next week. one of the speakers going in

republican party is going to have to catch up or they're going to be left behind in the dust. >> angela ryek you both so much. >> thanks. >>> why wayne lapierre may have had the worst week ever. stay with us. >> just for the record from my point of view, senator -- >> how many cases have you made? >> it doesn't matter it's a paper thing. i want to stop 76 -- i want to finish the answer. >> no -- >> i want to stop 76,000 people from buying guns illegally. that's what a background check does. if you think we're going to do paperwork prosecutions, you're wrong. people have doubts about taking aspirin for pain. but they haven't experienced extra strength bayer advanced aspirin. in fact, in a recent survey, 95% of people who tried it agreed that it relieved their headache fast. visit fastreliefchallenge.com today for a special trial offer. there's no subtext... just tacos. yeah, it's our job to make you want it. but honestly... it's not that hard. old el paso. when you gotta have mexican. >> i want to stop 76,000 people >> i want to stop 76,000 people i remember the day my doctor said i had diab

. >>> joining me now are angela rye and nia spmalika henderson. is the gop leadership the real problem here? >> absolutely. reverend al, when you look at what has happened from last night until even this morning, you saw the gop leave dinner with president obama and some of them went straight to the senate floor and the tone even changed then. then, this morning, you have senator mccain and senator graham almost berating rand paul from the night before. i think that you're seeing a real shiflt. shift you're seeing speaker boehner say that he is the hopeful and looking forward to this. this is the same guy that was strugdlie in strugling with the term compromise. i don't think it's only the president at all. all he's doing is simply shifting his strategy to constantly galvanize the american public and their votes to a strategy that includes galvanizing those votes on the house and senate floors. >> now, nia malika, nancy pelosi, let me show you her sponls. >> he has tried to saturday to listen to accommodate their respects of view. no. i think we d

. >> angela rye and ken vogel, welcome to you both. 't even declared herself a account but the very idea that ashley judd may challenge mitch mcconnell has led to what feels like another round of gender politics. do you think mcconnell supporters would treat, say, george clooney or daniel craig this way if they ran? >> well, martin, what we know for sure is that there's always been some separation when it comes to gender and politics. gender and the workplace. we're seeing this play out across the board. you know, with the president's first year we saw the lilly ledbetter act. there are all of these inequalities that exist, and i think it's up to us more progressive people and like-minded folks to really kind of push the buck here. ashley judd is a brilliant woman who happens to have some interest in the political process and has expressed that with or without this senate seat. so i think we need to see this play out, but they're definitely applying a lot of pressure, some of which is not fair, particularly when you look at what just ha

joining me republican strategist and pollster chris wilson and principal of impact strategies, angela ryethe colorado center on law and policy says it would bring in $24 million in excise tax revenue, $14.5 million in local tax revenue. they are framing it by stressing this is a potentially huge windfall powin windfall for states, cities that need that money. is that argument going to work? >> i do think it's a bill strange that the thought process here is that the same anti-state liberals who want to ban sodas and significant rats want to legalize a carcinogen product because that's going to create more tax dollars. if it's created by a big company, it must be bad but if you have a couple of guys in birkenstocks in boulder growing it in their back yard, it's a good thing and let's tax it. the day phillip morris starts making this, they're going to decide it's bad and ban it. it's a whole strange argument that instead of cutting spending and solve problems there, let's find additional things to tax. >> is this, angela, a bunch of hippies in tie-dyed shirts who like to do something in thei

with me now, perry bacon, msnbc contributor, angela rye, political strategist, and robert tranum, formerush/cheney adviser. kind of a mini reunion. got see ken mehlman. >> indeed. >> as we looked back in november of 2011, only 25% of hispanics saw congress favorably. now 56% does this mean republican efforts show that the change and stance on immigration is working? >> i think congress shows us that everyone in congress, republicans, democrats, et cetera are working on immigration reform. that's the key here. they're moving towards an issue that hispanics care about and moving aggressively on it. >> president obama with a 57% favorability rating, down 3 points from the end of january, but his favorability stands at 83% when we speak specifically of hispanics. he won the hispanic vote in november. is the minority support among democrats wrapped up in the support of president obama? we think about pushing ahead to 2016, whoever will step in as a democratic candidate, they need to know where the democrats are on immigration reform. since the president promised this in '08 and 2012, they wan

. >> for more on this i'm joined by angela rye, political strategist and principal of impact strategieseryl sandberg says women have a tendency to internalize all the negative messages and start to discriminate against themselves by not reaching out for opportunities. but is it really fair to suggest women, themselves, are to blame when you have rampant workplace discrimination and appalling fact the woman earns 77 cents for every $1 a man makes? that has nothing to do with women, does it? >> martin, it has a lot to do with equal opportunity or the lack thereof in this country. i think that when you just take a look at what's before the supreme court right now with the fisher case, and university of texas and the fact that affirmative action programs are absolutely on the line as being unconstitutional now. that is an open door that will be closed to students of color. so when you're talking about not only unequal earning, earning potential of women, or the fact that with hillary clinton in the 2008 election, she talked about shattering the glass ceiling. there is certainly an opportuni

republican strategist hogan g gidley and political strategist angela rye.art with you, senator rand paul out there this weekend making the case for the more libertarian type of conservatism as opposed to what he called the cookie cutter conservatism. you think that's going to help the party with young voters who supported president clinton -- sorry, president obama, over mitt romney by margin of 24 percentage points? >> i don't know that it does help or doesn't help. what i first have to get clear is what is libertarian conservatism? the two don't seem to mesh for me. you're talking about someone who is certainly against marriage equality but every libertarian, true libertarian i know wants to stay out of my life, and every social conservative i know wants to be in my life. i'm not really sure about the difference here. we're still talking about a guy who disagrees with the lions share of the civil rights legislation rulings of the '60s because he said they infringed on personal property rights. so i've got real dilemmas with rand paul and some of those iss
