joining me, "washington post" opinion writer and msnbc political analyst, jonathan capehart, and pulitzerrize-winning columnist, cynthia tucker. cynthia and jonathan, i'll give each of you a chance to give the republican party a grade one year after they released their manifesto on how to improve their lot with women and minorities. starting you, cynthia tucker, how do you think they've done? >> f! for heaven's sake, reince priebus should have said -- what he should have said is, we identified the problem and we have set about making it worse. what have they done in the last year? proceed to continue to alienate black voters. it's not just so-called inartful comments, such as those paul ryan made. what about all of those continued barriers to voting they're setting up in state after state? brown voters with republicans refusing to do anything on immigration reform. so i have to give them a failing grade, joy. >> jonathan, a harsh grade so far from cynthia tucker. what is your grade for the republicans thus far? >> maybe it's st. patrick's day that's giving me sort of a warm heart here. i'

also with us is jonathan capehart. thank you both for being here. governor, more people are getting covered every day. are republicans diluting themselves in saying this law will somehow just go away? >> i don't want to call them heartless but when you deprive people of health care coverage i think there is something wrong with your moral code and your value system. across this country there are states that are deprivinging people of getting coverage through expanding medicaid. there are people who are in desperate need and are being helped. as you said in the earlier part of this program millions of people have now gotten coverage as a result of obamacare. and millions more will get coverage as this program moves forward. and so we ought to be celebrating it. it is a wonderful thing for the country. and we ought to just dismiss the nay sayers and accuse them of deception and deceit because so many of them through this effort are spreading lies and deceptions and untruths. we need to call them out and encourage people especially young people to take

jonathan capehart, an opinion writer with "the washington post," and joy reid is the host of "the reid report" on msnbc. jonathan, let me propose something. i don't think ronald reagan in a mill years would have attacked iraq. he was not an adventurist in foreign policy. he was an anti-communist pure and simple. this crowd has made a bet. this crowd led by sarah palin and ted cruz, that the republican party is still in any way proud of what they did in iraq, their last big foreign policy adventure. i don't think they are proud of it. i think they're quietly embarrassed by it or humiliated or morally embarrassed by the horror of counting 186,000 dead people because of that policy of invading that country. if they're still proud of that war, ted cruz has a chance. if they're quietly embarrassed by this overseas adventurism, put your money on rand paul, because he is betting -- he doesn't say it, they blew it. and they better not blow it again with another country. your thought. >> that's actually a very, very interesting question, taking all those comments from those clips that you showe

john heineman is the co-author of "double down" and jonathan capehart is a columnist with "the washington post." both are proud and needed msnbc political analysts. gentleman, i want you to look at a couple things. here is a political candidate, a republican out in arizona going after the social safety net. if you want to see by the way how hell bent some republicans are, take a look at this. buzzfeed is reporting this arizona congressional republican candidate, his name is jim brown, went on a racially charged rant earlier this week by comparing social safety net programs to slavery. here's what i wrote. i want folks to think seriously about how slavery really works. back in the day of slavery, slaves were kept in slavery by denying them education and opportunity while providing them with their basic needs. it is my sincere belief that overentitlements are a means of enslaving the people by robbing opportunity by denying people and taking care of their basic needs. brown apologized yesterday for those remarks there is still this sympathy, john heilemann. you constantly hear republicans s

. >>> joining me now are joy reed and jonathan capehart thank you for being here. slamming president obama for extending the health care signup deadline when president bush did the same thing, what is your reaction to this? >> this has always been a numbers game. for the republicans the idea is that the more that they can find reasons to attack the law they see this is in their benefit in terms of 2014. fort president and democrats the more people who have health care the more the law is rooted. if you have 5 million people, that is just the private health care signups. when you add medicaid you are talking 15 to 20 million people in theory having health care that now they have it becomes almost impossible to message against it. you have that many people invested in the law. the white house wants as many people as possible. it is like the voting roles. people leaving later because people are in line. republicans what they really would love to do is minimize and not let the white house get to that 6 million numbert that they said was their goal. it is not really sur

joining me now, jonathan capehart.ng the president for this appearance, what do you make of that? >> it is ridiculous. it is predictable, unfortunately very predictable to have people on the right citing the president for demeaning the office, downgrading it. whatever the president does they don't like it, even if, as you just showed, republican presidents doing the same thing. when president nixon went on "laugh in" that show for that time was a racy show. >> very. >> controversial show. here you have president obama -- >> very, very controversial. it was before my time but i take your word for it. >> you get my point. here what i thought was so brilliant what the president and zach galifianakis did is they use comedy to pull in young people to impart information that they need to know. >> the numbers speak for themselves. what do you think? >> i was watching fox last night, o'reilly when he was saying president lincoln never would have done something. >> i wanted to ask you about that. he brought in lincoln. you have
