bob dole, when then lost and george w. bush. bush only ames winner to actually win the presidency. joining me now, karen finney and david corn. karen, what i'm hearing in the republican explanations for why they lost is a refusal to acknowledge who beat them, how and what president obama himself did as a candidate the first time and then as a candidate and president, man of government, the second time. >> right. well, and this goes with their refusal of the secret document, the census, taking america back from a majority of those very people, these urban voters that paul ryan seems to be so afraid of, was probably not the way to a significant electoral victory. they're going to continue to think it's sort of a matter of changing that sheet music without understanding if you don't connect with e people on values and share their values, we're not likely to fall for it just because you're going to tell us what we want to hear. >> president obama joins fdr as the past presidents to win 50% of the popular vote twice and david corn, it see

george w. bush on steroids. and the george w. bush george w. bush promised income would rise.a lot of people may be surprised, but income taxes didn't rise per person adjusted for inflation were down 30%. total income in america down 5.7 chile and if just stayed at the 2000 year level when you adjust for inflation. we need to have a fundamental discussion about our economy were not getting it in the selection. >> host: businesses say is too high compared to other countries. what do you say to that? >> guest: again, i think were having the wrong about debate. in a closed economy and the 50s, 60s, 40s, 30s, would be borne mostly by owners of companies. they get a lower return. in the global economy where you have labor arbitrage it via outcome of the best is the corporate income tax is borne by the workers through lower wages. so if that's true, the argument for the from double taxation of corporate profits just disappeared in the argument that comes toward us lower taxes on workers. there was recently a study examining economic row since 1945 connected with tax cuts and from ve

george w. bush's mistakes. george w. bush said, i got elected, this is it, i can go out a little bit but it's a fullcourt press. that is needed. because republicans are going to be recalcitrant. they say, why do we have to negotiate? we have room to get beaten up. the president knows this and this is why the pressure is on. >> also, i think the difference, dana, what the president is pushing here, as i said earlier, showed the poll numbers, the american public wants to see happen, they're supportive. george bush did go out pushing on social security but it was unpopular. it wasn't what the american people wanted. >> well, not only was it unpopular but sort of an elective thing. it wasn't something that needed to be taken care of urgently. obama is focusing on the economy now to the extent he didn't focus immediately on the economy in his first term. he is focusing on the central issue and the key issue what will be the key issue of his presidency. so, he's in much stronger ground to defend his turf here than bush was in priva

the bush family, george w. bush, j jeb bush and the nextgen rags gn of them, including george p. bush in texas and half-mexican, have to bring the republican party back to their senses on latinos. george w. bush in 2004 got almost 40% of the hispanic vote. i think that mitt romney got 25, 26, 27%. they've got to turn that around at the grassroots and it's gog to work its way from the bottom up. the tea party people won't make it ha happen. >> the gop lost because they failed to recognize and deal with long-term demographics trends. the white part of the electorate has been steadily dropping for decades. the latino and black electorate will continue to rise. they're a mad men party in aa "modern family" world. the president should shove it in their face. put massive immigration reform on the table right away and either get what latinos in america need or force the gop to again rebrand themselves at anti-latino and deal with that in 2014 and 2016. what do you think about that as a strategy? >> i think that's a nice thing to say, and i agree with you you on the sentiment. i think in

george w. bush white house. george w. bush got 44% of the hispanic vote. wasn't because he was giving away gifts or freebies and it's just the wrong message to say that hispanics, blacks, young people, are nothing but takers and that that's why they voted for barack obama. i find it terribly offensive. >> mary, when i heard this i was reminded of the 47% hidden camera tape of mitt romney. i want to play a little more from this conference call, one of the two he held with donors. listen. >> it's a proven political strategy which is give a bunch of money from the government to a group and guess what, they'll vote for you. let me tell you what i would do if i were a democrat running four years from now. i would say you know what, dental care ought to be included in obama care. immigration, we can solve but giving away free stuff is a hard thing to compete with. >> mary, what do you make of the calls, his comment? >> i'm glad you played some more and i completely agree with anna. you never know in what context this was said. it's just like the 47%. but the rea

george w. bush? 53% said george w. bush. the vast majority of those went for barack obama. >> that is interesting. also when you talk about who would be better for the middle class, the president seemed to come on top consistently. >> that's right. >> christine romans, thank you very much. >>> to senator dick durbin, majority leader. nice to have you with us this morning. glenn thrush at politico wrote this, obama's victory seemed too narrow to grant him anything close to a mandate, much less the popular support needed to break the deadlock of washington partisanship as he promised during the campaign. what do you think of that? >> let me tell you why i think he's wrong. i believe for the american people the campaigns ended last night. the question is on capitol hill will the campaigns end today. we're going to wait to hear from speaker boehner, but the solution to america's problems regardless of who won last night was both parties on capitol hill working together. the republican senate leader started four years ago by saying our number one priority was to make sure last night never happened, obam

george bush the majority of voters still tag george w. bush with this down economy. and, look, i mean, we couldn't even win the argument on foreign policy in part because a lot of people are sick of the two wars that george w. bush got us into. that's just a fact. gorgeous george w. bush's type of republic party mitt romney as todd akin richard mourdock in another. >> very good with latinos, kevin mccarthy. we have some bright new leaders and we need to have more of those. >> george w. bush's policies spending and two wars ended up also delivering barack obama into the white house. but let's start with you, chip. your take where we are. what do you think of my point that romney ran a defensive campaign but he also did have to deal with the bush baggage, credibility on spending, and a foreign policy that was frankly the by product of the hopeful but ultimately rather confused and unsuccessful policy in the middle east? >> yeah. i think you are spot on. first, let me say i aspire to be one of those old white guys. >> laura: and rich. >> definitely be a rich old white guy no question. that's what i aspire to be. no question a heavy load for romney. to thine ownself be true. we know who we are as a party. center rig

george w. bush. jeb bush in florida before him. certainly establishmen time. mellman. others.erstood the demographic changes and the republicans need hispanics to be part of the coalition and historic levels ofkq democratic advantage with i african-americans without president obama on the ticket perhaps republicans would have a chance to make a little dent there in the future election as ll. you know those are different groups but in some ways share some of the same issues. some of them anyway. in terms of the economy. on that is came out of the commit polling last night was many more people felt like president obama understood people coming from their perspective. people felt more that he was doing things for the middle class and as far as romney seen less as a candidate of the middle class. so these are things where the republicans more broadly probably need to message, n just to latinos and african-americans but also to whites in the middle class and lower classes. >> to add to the á larger share of the electorate2008 and steve you had something on this too. >> well yeah.

george w. bush, jeb bush, his brother who has been quite enlightened on the subject and said you cannot, in this country, continue to win only with white people's votes. and i just, i think that the very enlightened voices i heard in iowa, in the piece, you know, i hope the republicans heed them. because we are looking at an election right now where barack obama will probably get over 70% of latino vote. >> woodruff: so a net negative for the republicans? >> oh, yeah, increasingly. and i agree with the political analysis. i do think there is a pretty bipartisan from democrats who desire to close the border, to secure the border. or they will-- before they will trust washington to do anything on the immigration reform. but as far as the political prognosis, you can talk to karl rove, ken mel nunn, who ran the republican party, they can look at the demographics t is simple and obvious that it has just been shrink. within a few years you have swing state, maybe not even swing state, new mexico, nevada, texas starts becoming a swing state. >> a blue state. >> the trends are so damn obvious, but they
