this is only in iowa.around the country, there have been scores and scores of editorials talking about how wrong it is that the judiciary committee is taking a vacation. but in iowa, there was a column published in the "des moines register" over the weekend that was especially discerning. it was offered by veteran iowa political journalist kathy obronovich. this is what she wrote, senator grassley keeps offering new reasons for refusing to give judge merrick garland a hearing and a vote on his appointment to the u.s. supreme court. he may as well keep trying as explanations he's given so far for waiting until after the next presidential election are mostly nonsense. close quote. so i'm only going to mention a few of the excuses that the senator from iowa has invented in an effort to avoid his job. senator grassley won't consider merrick garland because he says he wants the american people to have a voice. the senator either is ignoring or forgetting or doesn't know that the american people and fellow iowan

we go back to iowa. he did not have a ground game in iowa. he should have won there. he still doesn't have a ground game. it is hurting him still z what michael just said is what surprises me as much as trump has done. he learns in iowa that a ground game is essential and doesn't have one today. >> i think he was badly served by the people that he hired. the guy that was his campaign manager, who thought he was a security guard as opposed to being a campaign manager, and obviously not a very good one is being pushed aside. >> the question about, where were his security guards? >> at the end of the day, this is elementary. the rules have not changed. i don't particularly like them. i don't like the way it works. i don't like the whole primary process the way it works. that's my opinion. it has been the same system since the '70s, the late '70s. the public is getting to see it up close t has not been a contested primary since 1976. >> the american voters haven't paid attention to a primary since 1980. >> why should they? p since '76. the reality is, there is a whole bun

the senator from iowa. mr. grassley: we have a unique opportunity for the american people to have a voice in the direction of the supreme court. the american people should be afforded the opportunity to weigh in on this very important matter. our side, meaning the republican side, believes very strongly that the people deserve to be heard and they should be allowed to decide through their vote for the next president the type of person that should be on the supreme court. as i've stated previously, this is a reasonable approach. it is a fair approach and it is a historical approach. one echoed by then-chairman biden, senator schumer and other senators. and also, i might say, it was something that was practiced during president johnson's administration, lyndon baines johnson, and it was also something that happened during the eisenhower administration. now, the other side, meaning the democratic side, has been talking a great deal about the so-called pressure campaign to try to get members to change their positio

i worked for a lot of texans even though i am from iowa. my favorite campaign is the first bush campaign. there is really nothing to compare, your first winning presidential campaign. >> no question about that. >> i will ask either to tell me or both, your funniest campaign anecdote or maybe the toughest challenge that you ever came up with and i will say it with a charlie wilson story. charlie wilson, think a lot of people know him from texas. the great, colorful congressman from east texas who was always in trouble because of drugs, drinking, or women. or some combination of that. so he was always number one on the congressional hit list. but he was a great character and really colorful. and really fun to work with on campaigns. so we went to the first campaign meeting and there were all kinds of new rumors. and he said, don't you worry everything will be fine. i met a young activist girl and she sang to the church and -- a young baptist girl and she sang i think wech and going to settle down and get married. just as soon as she gets out

time, 11:00 -- excuse me. 9:00 in iowa, 10:00 d.c. time, i'm rolling in to st. joseph's catholic church in logan, iowa, to do an event there with a visiting priest and with the parish there at st. joseph's in logan, iowa, and who merged together at the same time we pulled in and parked essentially simultaneously the vehicle of former senator rick santorum. one of the leading constitutionalists in this country. one of the strongest people in defense of life and defense of marriage and defense of the constitution that we have seen and i'll say within a generation with deep convictions, clear understanding and very articulate voice and as we got out of our vehicles each of us had been listening to the news report of the decision that came down from the supreme court that day. that was a decision on marriage, and i pronounced that oberkfell decision, but that 2015, on june 25, where the supreme court -- i mentioned in the earlier part of my conversation, mr. speaker, the supreme court would legislate from the bench and a supreme court not only created what would be

wisconsin is so much like iowa. and they say that -- and the point of the article in "the new york times" is that everybody's going, you know, trump's had a bad two weeks or something like that. it's the demographics have been working in his favor. >> what's interesting, too, if you look at iowa, ted cruz won 27.6%. donald trump won 24.3%. so cruz, as we were saying, did win in iowa. that was when all of the candidates were part of this, how many, 17, 16 in the beginning? iowa, the first caucus state, february 1st. we've come a long way. now there are only three people in the race. iowa, it's -- >> and the carson controversy in iowa that might have provided the difference. >> wisconsin, there's a big difference. in iowa, cruz only won by like 3% or 4%. interesting to see what's going to happen in wisconsin. >> you know, it will be interesting because keep in mind, wisconsin is an open primary state which means -- >> good point. >> democrats can actually vote for donald trump. if you look historically over the last n

iowa 10 years. indiana before that. i can tell you there is a stereotype that they care about customer service. that's not accurate. there are a number of airlines who partner with t.s.a. successfully every day. there are a number of airports who partner with t.s.a. successfully every day. we are the only entity that deals with three constants -- departures, arrivals, connections. and when we're not doing our job as efficiently or effectively as we can, they have the right to be upset about that and we need to find a solution. the problem we have right now is the previous leadership team oversaw -- that oversaw t.s.a. put in a plan a without a plan b. if we had the plan b we would not be here right now and that's reflective upon that leadership. and i don't think there is a day that mr. neffenger doesn't come to work and just -- he didn't get full disclosure when he took the appointment, probably, and god bless him for being here and he's trying to cheerlead this. that's why we're at where we're at. we did not have a pl

why is it that senator cruz won[v iowa evangelical votes?and now senator ted cruz, at least according to the polls, is up 21% with the evangelicals in wisconsin? do you have an >> yet, i think the reality is donald trump has done well in the south. in&añ alabama he won 45%. in georgia he won 540% of the evangelical vote. he hasn't done quite as well in the midwest. he didn't do as well as he did in the south in ohio. didn't do as well in iowa and it looksze like he is hitting a wall in wisconsin where he is not even breaking 30%. and where i frankly think scott walker's endorsement has helped ted cruz pretty significantly in the last several days. >> you know, it's sort of interesting. you think it's a geographical thing rather than evangelical thing? just that he is more -- >> there seems to be some geographical element to it endorsement apparently matter in some places and not others. nikki haley, obviously embraced marco rubio. thats5l%didn't makes a big of a difference for him in south carolina. but scott walker is really reveered in wis
