and chris christie and perry should know better. good way to start. they should have learned from mitt romney when he you know continued to say that he believed that we should self deport, he lost the majority of latino community when he continued to make those comments. so hopefully they learned from that and stay away from steve king as much as possible. that was the message we have there, not necessarily for steve king but for them. >> and in buzz feed dreamers are back and coming for the gop and clinton. what does it mean for both sides? >> yeah. you'll see that in the past for us we don't shy away from also holding the democrats accountable. for us hillary clinton made comments about children coming from south america, about really what the president could have done in the past and it is important to know who is running for the seats, jeb bush or clinton. i think we're going to be looking at both seeing who has the best to offer to our community. it doesn't matter the party but i mean we have hope it will be somebody that's not
