in fact, she started her political work out the george mcgovern campaign in the early 1970s registering latino voters in south texas. she's talked about immigration reform and getting that proposed within the first 100 days of her administration. she's talked about issues that matter to the latino community. so this is both respect and appreciation for hillary clinton and, of course, a recognition that donald trump is the most ain't latino candidate to come along in quite a while. >> so one thing that perplexes me and this is the most recent data we have, we'll see what happens tonight. but "usa today" poll from late october showed 18%, 18%, of hispanic voters were undecided. to the point you made, this is more than a year after trump called most mexicans rapists and pounded the table daily about building the wall. yet 18% are undecided. is that a warning sign to you? you would think with stuff like that and the way you're speaking it would be 99%. but people were already decided, 18% undecided. >> yeah. as you know it's hard to get 99% of anything in politics. let me say this and other

has taken over a political party. 1896, william jennings bryan. 1964, barry goldwater. 1972, george mcgovern, ronald reagan. in all of those cases, the leader of the insurgency has some washington experience or some governmental experience. ronald reagan hadn't been to washington, but he had run the biggest state in the country. this is the first time you have a protest movement whose beneficiary is a man without any governing or public administration experience at all. 1964 is interesting in another way. barry goldwater never led that contest. he was never close to winning. this was clearly a protest movement that was not going to take over the levers of government in washington. the other thing that's important to keep in mind is that anger motivated '64 just as anger motivates a lot of the support for donald trump. in 1964, it was two things, people forget this, john f. kennedy started a limited day taunt with the soviet union. there were a lot of hard right anti-communists who thought it was a mistake, and number two, the civil rights administration. the fact that the kennedy administrat

that produced george mcgovern four years later.know what happened then but are you afraid that the party is going to overreact here and take a far more label ral position? >> i am concerned about that. likes like the far left, bernie sanders of the party and others are trying to hijack the party for the left. that is a road to ruin. no way to win national office with that approach. and look who was, who was supporting ryan? you had some members of the congressional black caucus, some prominent members like marcia fudge, who were supporting ryan. that that tells us this constituency the democratic party tried to cut up, divide and piece together for victory is now fragmenting. neil: is that at local level too? just mentioned here in new york city where looks like bill de blasio, democratic mayor he could get reelected, still staying hard left because he doesn't envision any challengers. your name comes up. are you going to challenge him? >> as i said before i'm giving a lot of thought to it. neil: times awaiting, my friend, what are

after losing by richard nixon in 1968 so the party drove hard left but obviously the rise of george mcgovernded in a debacle for them. it might be an even bigger loss if they take a hard left turn. >> well, if there is an even more recent employer not within 2010. you have the president and both houses of congress, democratic moving towards a less agenda. they lost very badly. you are right, that's a challenge for them. there is this intersection between the bernie sanders followers in the trump followers that there is a populist agenda tear. and so, i don't see there been a big fault in trying to examine back kind of agenda for them because it certainly brought on a lot of new voters for bernie sanders and it was some rain that the populist agenda brought out a lot of voters for trout. >> the election results controversial as they are too many on the left bring out the passionate base. in this case the people can't even vote, high schoolers who are protesting say essentially this is unfair, this isn't right. this is giving a license to donald trump to kick the legal side of this country and

the democratic party responded by maginalizeding george mcgovern and other liberals along with votersrvative white voters instead, a reflex that resulted in the nomination of jimmy carter who ran on restoring a particular kind of southern christian values to the party and the country in 1976. later came the rise of the democratic leadership council, a centrist vehicle that took bill clinton to the white house by pulling the party even further to the right. by 2008 after eight years of george w. bush the democratic coalition grown by liberal white voters, union members and particularly voters of color won back the white house, but liberal gains of the obama years triggered yet another backlash and soon they will have to give the white house back to a president who could be poised to roll back major parts of the obama legacy, erasing some of the most sweeping and hard fought progressive reforms since lbj. so what went wrong? joining me now is whitney downs, director and producer of "the whiteness project" and rick waite former senior adviser to the obama campaign and back with us is kry

george mcgovern got lambasted. i think nixon got almost like 5000 electoral votes. i think he won one state, massachusetts and that was it. nixon was a crook and he left. because we are repeating something, how are we fortysomething years later, in the same place that we were then? how can we be having this in 1972, dealing with humphrey and mcgovern, having deja vu with the clinton and sanders, and in some cases having less power? how can we have more members of the black caucus, more black governors, more black mayors, and still not have power in discussing race? i think our conversation should be, why are our people impotent in the 21st century? we are not holding our people accountable for doing what they need to do from the congressional black caucus, a black mayors, so that when they get our vote in they get in office and they don't do anything, and they turn to big-money and corporations and tobacco companies and all of those things, and take money for conferences -- when young folks see that, they don't want to be part of that game. we have to draw a line in

in 1973, when my first election, i voted for george mcgovern. was a democrat. and i joined a union. now, all through my life, i'll be 64 years old. all through my life for almost 44 years i voted democrat. i was a union organizer. i was on the committee, the greater louisville central council. i did everything in the world i could do for poor people of all colors. and now i'm called a racist. now, there was a president here a couple of years ago when republicans asked him if he would reach across the lines, across the lines, across the table to work together with republicans, and his response was, elections have consequences. well, liberals, get over it. the consequences now is that we're going take a new direction, and when donald trump goes to south chicago in the black communities and he shows them what he's going to do for them, what will the cast of "hamilton" have to say then? thank you. and everybody have a great thanksgiving. host: richard, thanks for the call. last night, "s.n.l." is back with alec baldwin playing donald trump, and what happened friday was part of the skit

it's the opposite of what bob dole when he called george mcgovern and said when does it stop hurting and mcgovern said, i'll let you know. all president-elects have a moment where it's usually national security questions and there's also going to be some moment in the spring probably where in a tactile sense it becomes clear. that happened with president kennedy in the bay of pigs. we just hope that we don't have to have a crisis before the enormity becomes clear. >> richard haass, donald trump in that interview with leslie and other private conversations he's had since the election is making it very clear that he's going to change u.s. foreign policy, and the very things that foreign policy establishment was concerned about were entrenchment, america leading from behind. he's actually going to pursue even more aggressively, you just heard him there talking about wasting $6 trillion on foreign wars. we should have invested that back in the country. very skeptical about any further action in syria or iraq. he believes we should leave that country to assad. it's going to be a dramatic
