they're doing a good job, republican governors, scott walker, chris christie, even rick scott has cometo doing innovative things. best thing about it a bunch of different ways to experiment and see what works. this is what the american system is all about. >> what do you think of jerry brown in california? he's come back from the dead and brought california back from the dead. >> governor moon beam. they are starting to see a surplus come through and making investments. >> somebody's going to write an amazing biography sometime. governor fails the senate, mayor, attorney general, back to governor. >> that's the thing that's most important. they all as governors have to make the tough choices. that's what jerry brown has done. >> penny and john, thank you both. if you want to stay a part of the conversation please go to facebook or twitter. you can weigh in on our fireback question. now that governor chris christie has been re-elected do you think he is the 2016 frontrunner? right now 42% of you say yes and 58% of you say no. the debate continues online at cnn.com/crossfire as well as o

>> in 2009 the health committee i served on the health committee did the markup, when chris scott proceededill, we offered republican alternative which is about half the size of the president's proposal. had more private sectors solutions, more individual empowerment. they never even allowed it to come to a vote. this was rammed through the congress of the united states. rammed through with the democratic majority. not input you should have had and they're paying the price for it today. jon: are you satisfied with the secretary's answers to your questions about security and privacy? >> i was very disappointed the secretary only said she would take under consideration background checks that should be a minimal requirement. when you're taking people's income tax information, their social security number and their private health information you should be sure the person getting that is a secure person who will not abuse it or use it. jon: yeah. i think we all want that kind of assurance. senator johnny isakson of georgia. thank you. >> thank you very much. harris: new developments in the trial

has to be somebody like chris christie or scott walker. do you agree with that?ext question. why not? >> he came the first democrat to win since jimmy carter and the landscape might being, but they charged the state legislature and in 20 2we68 the republicans won the governor's mansion. that has been ground zero over voting rights, health care and even abortion. joining me now from scottsdale, arizona where he is attending the rga meeting. good morning to you, sir. >> thanks for having me, chuck. >> i remember having you on the day after the election and you were touting the fact that you were one of the few positive stories for the republican party in 2012 on election day. you won in a competitive state and seat despite the fact that president obama was winning a second term quite handily. you talk about the tone of the campaign that you ran. a year later it seems republicans of north carolina are questioning the tone of your governments. after election day and they rewarded you for not being so confrontational. do i have these correct? >> actually not. in some

>> a little bit but it's what's going on, of course, you have several governors both scott walker, chrisis if i in new jersey, bobby jindal saying we're outside the washington morass. so it's time for somebody who can show a track record of getting something done, sometimes in a bipartisan fashion. certainly chris christie in new jersey is staying this. so they're sort of capitalizing on the anti-washington feeling. you have three strong republican senators who have made some, you know, major media plays this year, marco rubio and rand paul and, of course, ted cruz who is taking a different tact saying we'll use our platform to show we're fighting against president obama's agenda and run strongly to the right to sort of capitalize on those anti-washington sentiments in that way and obviously you'll have two different camps competing next year certainly and going forward to 2016 in the primary to sort of position themselves. >> right, right, let's go ahead and move on to liz cheney running for senate and come out strongly opposing day marriage but strongly supporting her sister's several

has to be somebody like a chris christie or scott walker. do you agree with that? >> no. next question. >> why not? let me play devil's advocate here. you have a mess in washington. your approval rating in congress not yours personally but congress is 10%. 12%. >> that's up from nine. >> the republican electorate looks at that and says i don't want to redo that. just change deck chairs with someone from the other party. let's get someone else with a reputation for governoring and put them in the chair. >> the resume isn't as important as the person and quality of their ideas and trek record of reform and i would like to make sure we get a person who will be a standard bearer that can go the distance. i'm familiar with what going the distance means and it means a lot. it's not easy to do. but also, somebody who is going to be a good standard bearer who is going to be strong on principles, inclusive on ideas, and gives what i call full spectrum conservatism that speaks to each and everybody. i believe this country has just a handful of years before we go down the european p

chris christie. >> everybody is like, so, who's next? >> or scottll good guys. >> ideas give you nernl. >> you agree? >> i think both the presidential and vice presidential nominee should be a former or current governor. >> i am bobby jindal. >> your criteria also rules out paul ryan. >> yeah. i love paul ryan. if he had a fan club i'd be the president. >> i'm pretty sure that's not love. >> the message is about the heart rather than the head. >> i hadn't realized jonathan franzen was the governor of texas. >> mental illness, drug addiction. >> i believe in faith. >> if you think american style politics is -- >> and the republican congress that is just about what, no, no, no? >> no, no, no, no. >> the most unpopular of the unpopular are republicans in congress. >> i know this. >> where has the republican party just gone bad, gone wrong? >> there is a tendency to rely, you know this, on negative and anger. many voters are absolutely frustrated with everybody in d.c. >> while d.c. talks, governors act. >> somebody asked me the difference between a con

pointing to some successes, particularly in the case of scott walker and chris christie, in the case cott walker going against democrats and winning repeatedly with very aggressive, conservative ideas. so the governors are sort of considered the idea of factory of the republican party right now. and with polls showing in congress and washington in general, where parties are so unpopular, it is a big opportunity for the gop. and bret, as you can see, there is terry mcauliffe. i'll pass it back to you. >> terry mcauliffe, now governor-elect mcauliffe of the commonwealth of virginia, let's listen in. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. what a great night, everybody. huh? you know, over the past few months, i have started speeches thanking a lot of political figures. but i'm so glad that tonight, that the person introducing me is my best friend and my wife, dorothy. and i want you to know just a few weeks ago we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. when we decided to do this campaign, we decided together, because we understood that it was a journey that we were all going to have to ta

again, i think that the lessons that we're learning here is that in some ways it's the chris christie lesson, scott walker lesson. people do want to see things happen. that people get stuff done. i think the question there is for those republicans in those very gerrymandered states whether or not, not getting anything done is better than working with this president. >> i'm going to put my money on the americans who want to get something done and say thank you to them and say thank you to perry bacon and nia-malika henderson. >> thank you. >> thanks, karen. >>> stay with us. we'll continue to keep you updated with these aggressive storms that are currently threatening the midwest. we'll be right back. how are things with the new guy? all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great...what? he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. so he's just racking up points with me. some people... ugh! no, i've got it. the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out and entertainment, with no

. >> scott, you know, chris christie and governor kasich and suzanne martinez and yourself, you have all used obama care to expand the coverage of health care in your states. if one or all of you run for president, woant that diagnose qualified you since 90% of republicans in the recent polling are against obama care? >> in our case wharks we did is completely different. >> you're using obama care as the principle, moving people off the medicaid program and into the insurance exchange. >> we're using what's available to us. i mentioned i would prefer a better market-blazed solution. >> what they have done is agreed to medicaid expansion. they didn't have the badger with his foot in the trough like you did in wisconsin. so -- >> and they didn't like at yours like 95%, so you're moving up to 133%. in montana we were at 56%. you were already at 200%, but he brought it down to 100%, and people living above that should be transitioned into the marketplace, whether it's that, how many people are no longer solely dependent. >> the republican voters won't hold it against you governors if you

divisive among the republicans who have chosen to accept medicaid funding, for instance, chris christie, rick scott. 8 republicans who have accepted medicaid funding. neil. simply unacceptable. beats having the healthcare law jammed down my throat. i would rather save my taxpayers money. i control what's being done with that medicaid though in my state. not some bureaucrat in washington, you say what? neil i understand that logic, short-term pain that has to come with long term gain. long term reality of this is you accept the short-term government stippen, in the end your state does have to pay for this. and in the end the american people, all of us pay for this. we need fold fearless republicans who say i reject medicaid funding, yeah, it might be politically convenient. it might hurt me come re-election time but in the long run it's going to be better for my state and for the american people. we simply can't afford this. bobby jindal rick perry saying no, i'm going it put my foot down and stand for conservatism. it's about time republicans do that i'm done capitulating for democrats. it's not a

chris christie won huge in his re-athletic. the tone he's striking, we heard it from scott walker saying the future of this party is coming from out of his way in his victory speech to talk about washington watch how we do it here in new jersey. good message, good outsider message? >> the outside washington comes to these republican governors, susanna martinez of new mexico, christie, walker, can you go on and on. it's less outside/inside washington. there's an interesting conversation happening in the republican party. itches frustrated as anybody what happened during the whole government shutdown and filibuster. i was for delaying obama care. i don't think senator cruz and the others approached it was the right way to go. right now there's discussion. things christie said. walker is saying. there's a post about paul ryan and what he's doing to try to wage a big campaign a big war on poverty from a conservative perspective. you go around the country and see governors and members of congress having a real conversation. the conversation happening within the republican party today is much more richer and interesting conversation.

>> first new jersey governor chris christie, now wisconsin governor scott walker is making the roundsking a run for the white house? he has crossover appeal with independents. i talke sat down to talk to abos new book. a lot of folks didn't appreciate your policies, but in the end, winning by a bigger margin in your recall you did in the original election. you've done some convincing. how can the gop get better? >> be optimistic. that's what we see in the states with governors and state lawmakers. we're not just against things, we're for things. we lay out an optimistic view of where we'll take our states. we talk about it in in terms that are relevant. we don't with sequesters, fiscal cliffs or debt ceilings. we talk about how to make our schools better, how to lower the tax burden on hard-working taxpayers, how to help people down the block get back to work. those are things people care about. most importantly, what i learned from the states, not just mine, but other states, have the courage to act. people are hungry for leadership, not just conservative or republican voters, but i

they're moving towards scott walker, but i think there's a lot of talent in the republican party among the governors. >> john kasich. >> whether it's john kasich or jeb bush or chrishristie or bobby jindal or scott walker, the party sees a lot of pragmatic -- more pragmatic republicans who have done things, accomplished things in their states while also be conservative and that governors have been in recent times in our lifetimes, governors have had a much better record of winning the presidency than senators or congressmen. and i think the party really wants to win in 2016. and realize their system did not help them do that in 2012 and that they need to make some structural adjustments if they're going to put themselves in the best position to win three or four years from now. >> i think they need someone to bring them together. i can only think of someone like kasich or walker. the new book of yours everybody knows about, another big hit for these guys. mark halperin and john heilemann. >>> up next, i had a good night on "the late show with david letterman." i think you're going to like it. this is "hardball," of course, the place for politics. >>> our next gues

long before chris christie was proving a bull ia china shop, scott walker was hardly dismantling that the big guy talked tough and the other guy who is really not that big actually dead. yet it was the unassuming guy who created a firestorm in the held back the recall effort and the moreamiliar chris christie who held an unusual coalition together. both purple state does the found a way to expand this among voting groups where they should and and among uni households, critics say that they wanted. one game to the other guys again. chris christie is moderate and in policy, but a moderate and temprament. walker is moderate and temperament, but moderate and policy and here's the difference. he might be the bigger guy nationally among media prognosticators, but it is scott walker who is was proving a more engaging figure to average republican voters who ultimately really do matter and that is why thought you would want toake a closer look at the governor who you might be missing in the middle of all of this. making all the right moves among republicans and independents who are forever han

chris christie thinks it's going to be him. i think it's also funny, you've got a bunch of people there who think it should be them. you had scott today take a shot at chris christie saying i won't be calling anybody an idiot. and so you've got a lot of egos in that room and then you bring the former president into the mix. still not the most popular ex-president but, you know, i think they -- i think christie thought that was a big deal and we'll see. >> so during the news conference that we saw yesterday, christie again brushing off the talk of 2016. i want to play a portion of that. take a look. >> we have 36 races. we have 20 incumbent governors up in 2014. and i think any one of us in our individual capacity or many of us as leaders of this organization on the executive committee start thinking about 2016 at our own peril, but worse at the peril of our colleagues. >> so he's putting the party, co corey, ahead of what's going on in his own personal interests in terms of politics. but still he's adding some steak to his sizzle as the chairman of the rga and what this means to his national profile. >> this is his chance to be

announce that i am running for governor of florida. [ applause ] >> chris will seek to unseek florida's current republican governor rick scottmaine running for governor next year, announced he is gay. he made the announcement in an op-ed. a simple honest answer, yes, i am, but why should it matter? and those are the things we thought you should know. one in every four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. that is according to the federal government. an estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by their partner each year. the consequences of domestic violence involve choices that aren't always black and white, including whether to stay or leave an abusive relationship. among the many reasons why some women may choose not to leave their abusive partners. perhaps the most important center around their children and income. women must make and the support they will need. joining me now, ceo of safe horizon, behind the real safety domestic violence conference. thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you. >> this is controversial, you have family and friends, for example, who are trying to

and they get mugged by reality the way chris christie did in new jersey and the way john kasich did in ohio and even rick scottme extent in florida. they've got to govern and deal with real on the ground problems and that turns the biggest ideologue into a pragmatic person. that was -- was that jersey, could there be anything more jersey than the setting for that announcement in asbury park last night? it was just amazing. >> there's a saying in the hip hop community, real talk. they'll have to have real talk about chris christie and incredible coalition. whatever you think of his politics, this was remarkable, a third of democrats went out for him. a majority of the latinos in the state, and an unusually large share, one out of five african-american voters and speak to that and when democrats wake up to what a strong coalition he put together yesterday. >> i think it was very impressive. you're right to show those numbers. i think that's one of the most impressively sort of multicultural ethnic coalitions i've seen any major republican figure put together in a long, long time. and that's what the republican p

scott. terry branston, conservative governors. >> welcome back to "hardball." win or lose. tuesday night's elections hardened the republican party. despite christie's landslide victory he's been described as a rhino. republican in name only. rick perry, a tea partier himself. left chris christie off the list of what he calls conservative governors. it's not the first time christie has been invited to the party. the gom is firing back let by mitch mcconnell who opened fire on ted cruz party in the wall street journal. in an interview. mcconnell blasts extremists for both their views and tactics and says, quote, the most important election was not the governor of new jersey or the governor of virginia, it was the special election for congress in south alabama. where the candidate said the shut down was a great idea the president was born in enia and he opposed speaker boehner, came in second. ron reagan is an msnbc political analyst and former talk radio host. michael, a naive question, why didn't rick perry reference chris christie, what is going on there? >> he doesn't like him. he doesn't like the brand of politics. he think es he's a squishy

scott walker. everybody except for chris christie who has his own race to deal with. the democratic side you've had barack obama and joe biden in the last 48 hours. then the last few weeks you had bill and hillary clinton spending a lot of time in the race. they have been friendsd with terry mcauliffe for a very long time. it will be tempting for some people to say, this shows that the national democratic brand is stronger than the national republican brand and that may be true but the big impact of all those surrogate visits has been, just the overwhelming star power of the democratic side. republicans have a very, very strong bench when it comes to the 2016 presidential race. they have up and comers in the party. they don't have a lot of people that can go toe-to-toe with the sitting and former president of the united states. >> host: as it stand today, what does polling look like in virginia? >> guest: it sort of varies to some degree. it has been pretty consistent for months mcauliffe is leading. the leadsri vary from four poins in a quinnepiac poll to 12 points i

next republican nominee for president in 2016 has to be a governor, has to be somebody like chris christie or scottch. do you agree with that? >> no. [laughter] next question. >> why not? let me play devil's advocate here. you have this mess in washington. your approval rating in the congress not yours personally but is 12%. the predictor of another public electorate looks at that and says i don't want to redo that. just change chairs with somebody else from the other party. let's get somebody who has a reputation for governing and put them in the chair. >> a resume is not as important to me as the person, their ideas and their track record of reform and i would like to make sure we get a person who will be a standard there that can go the distance. i am familiar with what's going the distance means and it means a lot. it is not easy to do but also somebody who is going to be a good standardbearer who is going to be strong on principles it is the bomb ideas and gives what i call full spectrum conservatism that speaks to each and everybody. i believe this country has a handful of years before we go

scott walker. but i do think there will be a slot for a chris christie type. he did talk in our interview today. he said i think there are some republicans that are more interested in winning the argument than they are in winning an election, anderson. >> i think one of the things also about chris christie in looking ahead to the base, et cetera is, it wasn't just mitt romney. it was also bob dole at the end of his second term. it was also george w. bush that the tea party said now, these guys we've tried too many times. but in the end it's about getting your guy in the white house. and if he can sell electability and those numbers for him are great, the democrat graphics are great, that always trumps. it really does. >> electability is important for republicans. but chris christie has another argument that is not just process and electability. what do people hate right now? what have we seen the past? washington. everybody's tired of it. if there's one thing democrats and republicans agree on, the old way of doing things in washington has to change. who speaks straight? who is anti-politics? wh

chris christie is a model for that. other governors around the country, republican governors can be good models, scott walker, kasich ind model as well. the examples are there. whether the party gets behind that and puts it out front, remains to be seen. >> quickly, is ideology trumping these practical political fix snz. >> i don't think there's any question about it, particularly when you have a convention state, ideology trumps any strategy on this. most voters are left out. narrow band of voters deciding the nominees and that makes for in this case a ticket that's going to be having a difficult time tonight, i'm afraid. >> thanks to both of you. >> good to see you. >> we'll be right back. stay with us. excuse me? glacier point? follow me! ♪ follow me! keep up, keep up, keep up. ♪ look he's right there! follow me!
