gene mccarthy, like i said he did not win. but 45,000 people turning out to see him on a summer night when he was still trying to get the nomination that year, that tells you something about the enthusiasm for him and for his campaign. in my family, personally, it was life-changing enthusiasm. 45,000 people turning up to see him in boston tells you something about where the country was at that year no matter how it turned out. it tells you something about where the country was at and how people were filling as all the candidates vied that year for the presidential nomination. couple of nights ago i said that vermont senator bernie sanders had set a new crowd-size record in massachusetts when he turned out 24,000 people at the boston convention center to hear him give his populous stump speech this past saturday night. it turns out that bernie sander's turnout, it was a record for recent history. that was a turnout record for my lifetime but it was not a turnout record for my mom's lifetime. senator sanders this week did eclips

it's highly reminiscent to me of the gene mccarthy came pain in the spring of 1968.e mccarthy and. war against the existing economic system. this winter. this fall and this winter. and both have drawn, attracted and kept a huge, huge base of support. >> so we have news on senator elizabeth warren. she said while she once signed a letter urging hillary clinton to enter the 2016 presidential race, that should not be taken as an endorsement of the former secretary of state. >> you were one of many female democratic senators to sign a letter a few years ago urging secretary clinton to run. should that be seen as an endorsement in itself? >> she's running, along with other people and they're getting their ideas out there and i think that's what should happen during this part of the season. >> so you just wanted her to run? >> i want everyone who wants to run for president to get out there, put their ideas out there, talk about their ideas with the american people. that's how it should be. that's how democracy is supposed to work. >> i want everybody to run. >> that's the

the gene mccarthy dumped lyndon johnson from the american presidency, that martin luther king and bobby kennedy were killed. at the same time, the story was speaking eliot trudeau up into power next north. and yesterday, a similar call for change brought his son, justin, to head the government. what's happening here in the united states is, as usual, more dramatic. the grand old party is dumping its establishment. all the king's horses and all the king's men can't seem to put it back together again. scott walker was sent back to wisconsin. jeb bush, to put it gently, is getting the heave-ho. 40% of republicans now say they can't even imagine voting for jeb bush. 59% say they can imagine voting for the man leading the assault on the old order, donald trump. meanwhile, republicans elected since 2010 to rule the u.s. house are unable to pick a leader. at this very hour house republicans are meeting desperately to see if they can find someone, somewhere, to be speaker of the house. well, the conservative "washington examiner" asked yesterday whether the republicans are still a political par

significantly more intransgent on a lot of these issues than john boehner or even kevin mccarthy would have.. >> gene robinson, i think norm is putting his finger on a political point here. in the old day, if you were a young broadly popular congressman and your party said hey, we want you to be our consensus candidate for speaker, that's a big promotion. and yet people like paul ryan don't see that as a political path. according to his public statements today. >> right. and why would paul ryan want that job? that's the worst job in washington. that's one of the worst jobs in the united states right now. because, you know, as john boehner is fond of saying, the leader without followers is just a man taking a walk. and that's a position he found himself in. and that's where paul ryan would be, too. paul ryan is interested in governing the united states of america and passing legislation and doing things that congressmen and women do. and this caucus is not interested in it. so he either breaks the hastert rule and forms coalitions with democrats, which will eventually cost him the speakership or he do
