joining me now is washington bureau chief john stanton, jonathan capehart and maria kumar. john, i feel like this president is excited -- clearly excited about the sales pitch he is making and u feel like he thinks the other side of the aisle does not have much to sell at all. >> i think you're right and/think they don't have much of a coordinate message. they are all home for ten days for thanksgiving and the white house for whatever reason -- republicans have creede them th battlefield. which is odd. they were doing a good job of beating up on the president and the white house didn't do a good job of selling it beforehand at all but it's now he is out and giving these big, soaring speeches and getting crowds fired up. if they're going to do this it's

. >>> joining us is john stanton from buzzfeed. >> good to be here. >> i was amazed to go back and see the comparison to 1987 with the pressure the catholic bishops were putting on reagan then and the pressure put by advocates and catholic bishops and others on president obama now. that is so parallel. what seems very, very different is the other side of it. what seems very different is the character of the anti-immigrant lobby. i guess i have to ask if that squares with what you're seeing with this furor over the prospect of immigration reform in washington. >> to a certain degree, yes. a bit of it, though, also is just the general really just distaste for president obama on the republican side. he can be doing almost anything on a unilateral or executive basis and republicans would probably get outraged. they have this sort of pending lawsuit about executive orders that's been nebulous. maybe it's obama care.

and john stanton.und repeal -- i feel the american public has a different relationship to this law now that there are the stories of jennifer and david tedrow, their survival in some part is thanks to the affordable care act. >> sure you always had a dynamic that would happen that once it got started it would have its own constituenconstituency, now untouchable, because millions of people benefit. the same will be increasingly true of obamacare. no question about that. it is saving lives and reducing the deficit. if you're conservative, i don't know what more you would want. >> right. john, to talk about the republican zeal for repeal, mcconnell has said forthrightly, that there will be no government shut down but that seems to be the most amount of control he's willing to assert on the far right fringes of his caucus, of his party. how much do you think this reconciliation strategy will become a reality in the next congress. >> i think it could very well become a thing if they have to do. senator mcco
